Speaking of Google and politics, Julian Assange claims that Google has made a deal with Hillary Clinton and is backing her [0]. That's not far-fetched considering how intertwined Google and White House are. The Intercept has a really detailed analysis and a chart showing how Google and WH share so many lobbyists and executives [1]. Google wants to keep Democrats in the White House so they can continue their influence over various decisions and FTC (which squashed the investigation into Google's anticompetitive practices).

And just today, Google was accused of whitewashing Hillary Clinton's record and not showing negative autocomplete terms [2].

Google's "don't be evil" mantra is just a way to inoculate themselves from criticism. If anyone accuses them of anything unethical or evil or inappropriate, they can always claim how they are "not doing anything evil" because that's their policy. It becomes circular logic.

Assange has exposed Google's close ties to the State Department in the past as well. For example, give this NY Times article a read [3]. If you want to see how deep the rabbit hole goes, Assange also published a book about his meeting with Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen of Google [4] and he published the complete transcript of their meeting. He also covered how Jared Cohen, formerly a State Department employee, was involved in regime changes around the world while at Google.

Assange also states that in 2015 former Google CEO Eric Schmidt launched “The Groundwork,” a startup specifically designed to get Clinton elected. [5]

Finally, Clinton's email release also confirmed that Google was involved in helping Syrian rebels who were trying to bring down the Syrian regime [6].

I bet Peter Theil is masturbating on himself.
One order follower bot retweeted one of my tweet for no reason. I think it is more how they advertise.
On facebook, fake accounts will often like legitimate pages so their accounts do not get flagged when liking pages that paid to be liked. It's not inconceivable and probably likely that any highly-retweeted tweet will be again retweeted by bots to establish credibility for the bot account.

Additionally, the first 'truth' about this that the site provides is:

1. Hillary Clinton’s social media team use bots for establishing
the record of retweets during race 2016 social media war.

Zero evidence is provided to support this claim. The existence of bots retweeting a massively publicized tweet is not evidence that the social media team of a specific candidate intentionally paid for followers.

This is a very poor submission coming from an account that has submitted this blog 3 out of their total 4 submissions.

DMT? That only lasts 15-ish minutes. It's also notorious for being so intense that most people have a hard time moving; complex tasks like driving just aren't going to happen.

This sounds like a story made up by someone who doesn't know how DMT works.
It's most likely that the bot is retweeting random or high profile tweets to establish account credibility, as happens with facebook like sellers.

Don't slip to the conspiracy that confirms your worldview so quickly without considering much more likely reasons.
DuckDuckGo's killer feature is its thousands of !bang search shortcuts. They integrate with content sites' own search forms, so the results are similar to but often better than Google's site:example.com searches because the sites' have more domain knowledge over their content.

Loved mine as well ('86 Quad Spider) but mine was very easy on maintenance. Owned it about 20 years, daily drove it (year-round in Boston area) for about 10 of those, and in 135K miles, it left me stranded once when a Bosch distributor broke internally. Brakes and maintenance parts were very reasonably priced, readily available, and the car was easy to maintain except for some engine bay clearance issues [when changing motor mounts and the like] due to the bodywork shape.
I can't argue that as a definite possibility. Obama certainly did quite a few things directly opposed to reasons I voted for him.

> There always seemed to be plenty of options everywhere I lived, conveniently accessible by car. Are the people who complain about this stuff real oddballs who need weird stuff you can only find in the biggest of cities, or are they congenitally hostile to driving?

What's funny is that, in Dallas, all the interesting restaurants in the suburbs.

Want an authentic Sichuanese restaurant? Looking for a Cantonese barbecue joint? Or maybe an Indian place that serves real chaat? Or how about a nice steaming bowl of pho? In Dallas, you'll find all of these in strip malls in the suburbs (in fact, we have a pho joint on almost every street corner in some parts of the burbs), while food in the city core consists of a mixture of yuppie bars, restaurants that only appeal to white hipsters, and fast-food joints aimed at the people who commute to downtown.

Every single Asian demographic in the Dallas area has chosen the suburbs over the city, leaving Downtown and Uptown to white yuppies and hipsters.
That should make anyone explode with profanity
> As a Prius owner, I am also amused by the oft-repeated Tesla claim of 'All electric! Simpler system! Fewer repairs!' - given the many production defects they seem to have.

Those are not mutually exclusive. You can have fewer parts and a simpler system and yet a high number of failures. That just means they need to improve the manufacturing.

Another way to look at is: your Prius is not much more complicated than a "normal" car, as the EV portion adds so few parts ;)

And that's assuming Tesla really does have that many defects to begin with. Much like their accidents, could be biased reporting.
> I don't want to go on a long political rant against the Indian defense system, but I really wish my childhood telescope wasn't stolen.

If the history of industrialized nations is anything to look up, protectionism is a pretty fantastic way to jump-start a capital-intensive industry.

Now, once you have a world-class industry, complaining about foreign protectionism is also a pretty fantastic way of preventing other countries from developing theirs.

The Romans were aware of China at the time. There are some theories that the decline of Rome is linked to the asymmetry of the trade with China - the Chinese only wanted gold and silver so the Romans ran perpetual deficits with China. The English had the same problem until they came up with the opium trade.
That's because we don't know enough about the actual text to make a substantial argument. All we have are leaked drafts. And by the time the documents are finalized, it will be signed before the ink of the text is dry.

Do you know how many consumer advocacy groups are included in the negotiation process for TPP? I gather it's zero. Given the process is specifically intended to keep out consumers, why should we believe the end result will be any different?
Riot are testing it for the case where somebody leaves early on. They don't want to allow it for mid-game abandons for fear that it will encourage players to gang up on their team's weakest link and flame him into abandoning so the rest of the team can leave without consequence.

Indian bureaucrats have lot of power and everything is banned by default in India. In past I was harassed by police for trying to film buildings from public roads.

In my home district the collector (Colonial era post of a county administrator who also has quasi-judicial powers) has banned the Drones. Reason? Well government does not like it. You cant do much here.

The problem is not of the government but of people who all grease up and bend over every-time government asks them to bend over. The "ban" mentality is unimaginably pervasive.

India's Prime Minister created this portal http://mygov.in where people can give suggestions to the central (federal) government. Last time I did a study around 80% of them were about either banning something or using coercive power of government to benefit some special interest group.

I think you're confusing the energy efficiency loans with the TALF money. TALF was the Treasury, intended to prop up the industry, and is arguably a bailout; the energy efficiency loan was the DoE thing and was predicated on development of certain models of electric/fuel efficient cars.

Mercedes also had a horrible rust problem with their mid-late 90s cars. They switched to an environmentally friendly paint process that was terrible for paint adhesion and rust prevention. I have a perfectly good '98 E300D that's going to go the junkyard because of rust issues. Explain to me how that's saving the environment again?

Perhaps the reason for a short Ubuntu hardening guide is that these changes are already incorporated in the code. I understand the value of a uniform base configuration for a large network—say, 1000 systems or more. But surely it's better to put that in the postinst scripts of packages.

I view the "hardening guide" requirements, particularly PCI 2.2, as an ugly jobs program.

"The analysis found a very different result with Google’s top competitors, Bing and Yahoo.
When spotted the terms “Hillary Clinton cri” and “Hillary Clintion ind,” Bing and Yahoo brought up as their top choices “Hillary Clinton criminal charges” and “Hillary Clinton indictment” as part of their auto-complete functions using the same key letters, according to SourceFed.
While that could reflect legitimate differences in the engines’ algorithms, Mr. Lieberman said that a search of “Hillary Clinton crime reform” on Google trends showed that “there weren’t even enough searches of term to build a graph on the site.”"

Reputable gun shops offer ammunition whose primary selling point is its ability to kill humans. I mention this as a relevant aside: in the US, it is (very possibly) even legitimate to search something like "ammunition best suited to kill someone".
"Reasons that this particular author hates cars" is a bit more like it.

Of course, if you pick the worst of everything of suburbia, you can "prove" that it sucks. But the author utterly fails on a large number of points, such as proving that humans like to feel enclosed by buildings on both sides such as on Saint-Germain, and that they utterly hate being able to actually see the sky like in the "middle of nowhere". And hey, he hates GarageHouses because they worship at the altar of the car. How terrible. Tsk, tsk. Of course he hates that ugly house's façade, but he's unable to prove that tacky design is a necessary consequence of suburbs.

I live in a suburb. The houses are not all the same. I love cars and motorcycles; we've got 4 motorized vehicles at the moment. None of them fit in the garage because we don't have some absurd cookie cutter house. We don't have an absurd cookie cutter house, because that doesn't fit our aesthetic.

We live in a relatively quiet neighborhood that is, yes, zoned residential, but we're also a block from restaurants and a bar and a grocery store. We don't have winding meandering streets that get you lost; we're literally 2 blocks from the freeway.

Oh, and I can and do bike a few miles to work despite the fact that public transit sucks.

I love visiting cities, but could never live in one. Guess what? I don't want shared walls. I don't want to have to worry about where I'm going to park my cars or whether the windows will be intact when I return, or whether I'll be kept awake by the sounds of mixed-use blissful commerce happening beneath me.

He's right about so many things but just falls victim to boring old tropes. I also lived almost-spitting-distance to a grocery store in an apartment once. Thanks to a 10ft high brick wall, I had to walk 5 minutes out of the complex, 5 minutes around, and 5 minutes back in the direction of the store; 15 minutes to go what was really a few hundred feet as the crow flies. Of course it's absurd, so I didn't keep living there. But this does not make suburbs hell. It makes poor design choices hell.
Everything is an app. There are apps that show a GIF and all they do is that on many app-stores, with lot's of downloads because the GIF happens to be that of a woman's bum.
Fictional works are not a special case. I'd personally argue copyright never made sense, but people like to say back when the marginal cost of producing duplicates of information was greater than nothing, copyright at least functioned.

Remember, today, there are millions of people using their computer to voluntarily and entirely charitably give away information for free, that other people want to stop them from doing. That is so absurd and insane.

I've said it before, and many of us will inevitably say it again, but this is not 1800. Charge for what is valuable and scarce, your creativity (or in the case of a scientist, their knowledge), not what is not valuable or scarce, which is bits on a hard drive.
As to3m says, this is often done in programming language interpreters.

If most objects in your language were heap allocated and you want to store a small integer you would allocate a new object on the heap with space for one integer, set up its headers, etc. You could instead set one of the unused bits in the pointer to indicate that it's an integer and not a pointer, then store the integer in the remaining bits, avoiding the heap allocation at all. The Lisp world calls this a fixnum.

The more pointer bits you can steal, the more kinds of data you can store directly in the "pointer" itself. It's also possible to store the type of objects that are actually allocated on the heap in tags on the pointers to them, but I don't know if that's done any more.
What? So Google supports all the horrible IP provisions there?

TPP must be ditched because it's an abomination in the current form, and it's not fixable because of "fast track".

Google should officially change from "don't be evil" to "be evil" now.
Obama is really hoping the lame duck congress will push it through for him. He's counting on pro-business Republican senators since many Democrats are abandoning him on the issue.
Except that in a functioning democracy, state-enforced rules are client requests from an entire population.
This comes across to me as nothing more than proof that Google is doubling down on HRC being elected now.

Google mentioned in their press release that they were not happy about the secrecy in the negotiations. The negotiations were secret for the same reason diplomatic cables are secret. These agreements would involve things like Japan agreeing to to stop subsidizing rice farmers as long as it can keep its high auto tariffs for a few decades. It's nasty stuff, embarrassing to watch the sausage get made. But maybe it was a bad idea to do it all in secrecy.

UGH. So much nonsense.

Here's a response, post law suit, for the Chicago's mayor's office's phone records.

Additionally, the Illinois Attorney General's Office Public Access Counselor ("PAC") has established that City-issued cell phone numbers are exempt from disclosure pursuant to 5 ILLS 140/7(1)(c), because the disclosure of these numbers would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. As the PAC reasoned, certain City employees are issued cell phones so they may be on call during non-work hours or while away from their offices. Disclosure of these numbers could subject staff to excessive phone calls from the public at all times of day. Further, if staff were forced to turn off their cell phones to reduce such intrusion, they may not be readily available to attend to the business of the public body, defeating the purpose of issuing them cell phones. (See 2010 PAC 8685, issued September 30, 2010, attached hereto as Ex. B.)

Thus, the only phone numbers which are not exempt under FOIA are those that are publically listed and are not home telephone numbers, personal telephone numbers, or work-issued cell phone numbers. In other words, FOIA only compels the production of listed numbers belonging to businesses, governmental agencies and other entities, and only those numbers which are not work-issued cell phones.

Yet.. per FOIA:

The disclosure of information that bears on the public duties of public employees and officials shall not be considered an invasion of personal privacy.

In any case, I still got enough to make this (two tabs):

Another question - how do we differentiate between suburbs?

I grew up near Kent, WA in a suburban area as described in the article (windy non-grid roads, houses with 2 or 3 car garages, no bus service except a single commute bus at a park and ride accessible only by car or walking on the shoulder)

Now i live North of Seattle in an area with single family homes, grid streets, public facilities, busses, bike trails. You know the... Suburbs

These two places are nothing alike to live in. They need different names...

Fwiw the article only spoke of tearing down the former to me, though with an overloaded term who knows for certain

American Conservative is a paleoconservative magazine. Paleocons aren't the same as mainstream conservatives; for example, they rail against globalization, they advocate an isolationist foreign policy, they're much more likely to be openly racist and antisemitic (American Conservative is, to its credit, the sole remaining paleocon magazine that refuses to endorse antisemitism), and they take religious conservatism to a farther extreme than most Republicans are willing to go.

Paleocons haven't been relevant in mainstream American politics for a very long time. After Robert Taft lost the Republican nomination in 1952, they took a backseat to mainstream conservatives, and since then they've mostly been relegated to third parties and fringe candidacies (like Pat Buchanan's 1996 and 2000 campaigns, and the Constitution Party). This may be changing, though, as Donald Trump's economic and foreign policy stances are straight-up paleocon, and his racism isn't a problem with paleocons because most paleocons are overtly racist (again, except the people who run American Conservative). The only reason Trump isn't 100% paleocon is that he's not nearly enough of a religious conservative; your average paleocon is at least as conservative as Rick Santorum on religious issues, while Trump has made few overtures to the religious right, and those few have all been empty platitudes.

In short: I wouldn't take an article in American Conservative as being representative of mainstream conservatism at all.

Gotta disagree. The easiest example to look at is the Interstate Highway System. They busted up downtowns and put giant highways through them so people could get to and from the suburbs and the cities. Baltimore, Atlanta, LA, DC, Boston, DFW, NO, etc. all have peculiarly similar interstate structures.
I'm sure they are, and Google's definitely worked closely with Hillary before. Though at last public claim, even Hillary said she was against the TPP.
