Again, I don't disagree with you. I will never be in a situation like the OP is asking for, because I'm male and so "how will my manager treat women?" is not a question that is professionally relevant to me. When I do interview employers, my procedure is largely as you suggest, except focused on engineering practices, capital structure, runway, and the specific role I'll be fulfilling in the company.

But I'll point out that what you're actually building, with the procedure you suggest, is a mental model of how a candidate is likely to perform in a role, given the information that you can find out about them. It is still a model, and you make a number of assumptions in it (notably, that past performance may predict future results, and that a candidate's description of how they handled a project is actually how they handled it, and that information about how they handled it is more predictive than asking them to do a shortened project in front of you). Some of those assumptions I'd agree with, some of them I wouldn't. My point is that these two questions are ones that a couple different women I know have found predictive of how a manager will treat them, and that these women are fairly high-up in their careers and generally satisfied with them. They are not necessarily the questions I would use, but because I will never be in the situation that they or the OP is in, they are probably a lot more relevant to the OP's situation than any mental models I use.
The idea that having a lot of friends means happiness is one of the most widely believed myth that's totally false.

It is You who decide what happiness is. If that means getting addicted to the feeling of achievement you get when you create something and watch others use it, and have an impact in the world in even a small way, then that's your happiness. If it means hanging out with friends every day, well then maybe that's your happiness now. If it means traveling around the world, then that's your happiness.

Want to learn new language? Do it! Want to be socially active? Do it! But don't just do it because that's what the society makes you believe is the "cool" thing to do.

But first, just ask yourself if you want to do these things because you REALLY want to do them and do them if the answer is yes. One way to figure that out is ask yourself the "Why" question multiple times. For example if you think your happiness will come from hanging out with many friends, ask yourself "Why?", and try to come up with several reasons. Then for each reason ask another round of "Why?" and so forth. A lot of times you will be met with a dead end where it's not yourself telling you that's what you want to do but the society and capitalism telling you.

I worked for a MSP for many years, and was well acquainted with our regional competitors. Our uptime and theirs was nowhere near AWS-level.

I agree that dank memes in particular aren't particularly important, but I'm worried that the same attitudes and policies that lead to dank memes being banned are also leading to serious political speech being banned. Do you agree that Harvard should not punish students for offensive political speech, if it's meant sincerely and advances an actual idea?
Counter-example to your expectation: as I've gotten older the separation of my work from the rest of life has been nearly eliminated. I run my own business, so I'm always on the clock.

Yes, you're right. I got confused by all the discussion about Google checking for cloaking by comparing results using different user agents.

So maybe this is why there's no Google cache.

Also, if Google can only index the first few paragraphs, the results are much less comprehensive.

On the flip side, some people can't change their IP addresses easily, and getting IP banned (even if rare because of the reasons you stated) is actually a major hassle when it actually happens for those people. :/

> it's orders of magnitude cheaper to colocate as long as you can afford an IT guy and the upfront cost of hardware.

It may be. But for many people, it does not matter.

Let's say you work at the place (I do) where "compute" cost is like ~0.5% of the total costs. Almost all of the cost is employee's salaries and benefits.

BTW we get (and from what I hear, everyone does) offers from other cloud vendors to switch, and get 1 year free or whatever. And it gets ignored because it is a big risk for a tiny possible gain.
That capital gain isn't accessible unless there is a sale. If its a sale because the owner can't afford the property tax it is likely someone with limited/fixed income.

Once you force a sale, a buyer, rich enough to buy the home takes ownership, they have exactly the same incentive to approve or disapprove new homes as the original owner.

The person you've forced out on the other hand, now pays the tax, the transfer costs with a real estate agent and likely repair costs on the home, has the same fixed income, and now has to find a home to live in, but now has 5-10% less capital to work with then they had before. It's a bubble, and likely real estate costs in the near area are just as high. So what has been accomplished at the end of this other than harming the living situation of the original property owner and kicking out someone of limited income for someone with more income?
Listen to what they want to tell you, and ask what they think about lead as an environmental and racial justice issue. It's not your responsibility to correct statistical misapprehensions they might have about the incidence of black crime or police use of force unless you are asked, there are plenty of people doing that already. If they're interested and and question your dataset, you can reply that you went with the most scientifically conservative statistics you could find and it's still a huge problem.

i think the only unfortunate thing about this story is the lack of experiencing life on old pcs. the kiddo has definitely mastered video games and learned a whole bunch doing it but it's too bad he didn't have that same experience on a computer. one thing a computer gives you is a tool, which really taught me all about hacking things in so many ways. hand eye coordination and reflex gained from playing video games is awesome but problem solving skills are way more useful in the long run. the old school adventure games taught patience and problem solving like few games do these days.

I totally agree with you. Some people complain about Apple gear being more expensive, but I think you need to factor in that they leave other money on the table that they could make by selling our data and generally not pushing for privacy. I largely used Linux for two decades and finally switched back to Apple because I sufficiently trust them (and my workflow is a little bit more effective using osX and iOS).
The first thing in the macOS guide covers how apps should behave in fullscreen mode. Most people I know only use fullscreen mode accidentally; family has had problems figuring out how to get out of fullscreen mode after accidentally entering it.

Choosing not to install security updates also leaves you vulnerable to such attacks on Linux, and they do happen. Are you seriously trying to imply that you've never had an issue with a package manager on Linux?

May be a member? They are. And I tried looking for an statement by Apple on that issue, couldn't find one. So until I see one, I'll say the lobby group speaks for them.

Is the money that lobby groups works with organized in such a way that Apple's money doesn't go towards this particular thing? If not, what does "not supporting that stance" even mean? That they outsourced their fight for it, so that they can have the nasty outcome and stay morally pure, that as long as there is some bending over backwards possibility of Apple being against it, they're against it?

> There are a lot of members of CTIA,

Apple is a giant, not just one member among hundreds. If they are quiet on this, it has their support. Or are you saying they might not even be aware? Just didn't find it important enough to scream bloody murder about it? No matter how you try to spin it, can you spin it into something really good?

> and CTIA presumably lobbies for a lot of things, not just ISP privacy rules.

Unless you're meaning to say the also have a part of the budged for lobbying for the opposite of this effort I can only ask "yes, and?".

I don't see how it's a windfall on the part of the state, it's just collecting what's owed to them in arrears. It's not required that you defer the taxes. You could pay them up front. It's simply an option, that if you lack liquidity (because your assets are tied up in your house), you can defer payment until a "liquidity event", as they say in the startup world. There isn't any kind of right to both not pay property taxes and turn your property into liquid cash in your bank account. The purpose of the deferral option is that even if you have no liquid cash with which to pay property taxes, you can never be forced out of your home for that reason. That's the stated purpose of Prop 13, too, though perhaps not its real purpose.

> If you check 4chan's /pol/, you will see an incredible amount of people admit to becoming alt-right because "so many snowflakes are always so offended and call me names". If, however, we as a society can more tolerate dark humor and bigoted comments, the bigots either stop talking or evolve to accept more tolerant views.

No, the bigots then just push the line further, and further, and further, to normalize their bigotry because "yeah they're jokes but they make a good point, you know?"--and if you say "no, that's wrong," you get "it's just a joke, brah, why are you so offended?"

That's what /pol/ is. That's what it's been since its inception. It has been a bunch of useful idiots with a hard core of literal fascists being edged further and further right by pushing that line through rhetoric and through those "harmless" memes.

I used to be there. I spent a lot of time watching this. They turned people to actual hard-core bad shit through that "humor".
I think this has the problem of trapping people into houses on declining property values. You've got some elements to mitigate that somewhat, but prop 13 really seems like a cleaner simpler way to do the accounting because there is no hysteresis effects. Anything else, and you really provide a disincentive for many people to sell just for the added headache.
That's cool, but it feels a bit like making sure your room is tidied up while your house is on fire -- it's not clear it's the most pressing priority.

But webrtc support is cool.
In some sense, we are throwing all the property rights into the windows of banks and real estate investment offices, where they will conveniently land in some virtual filing drawer to sit with the rest of their spoils.
A Subtle yet Power Gesture at Apple's WWDC 2017 that most people probably missed
> Can an employee leave early to run errands or pick up kids and make up the hours that night or on a different day without having to jump through hoops and/or get looked at like they have two heads?

One thing I absolutely love about my current employer is that it is written policy that if you're absent less than four hours in a day, you don't have to report it as PTO. Of course, that same policy also tells you not to abuse it. I think that's pretty fair.

It feels really good knowing that if I have a doctor's appointment first thing in the morning, I can come in an hour or two late, and I won't be either forced to burn sick time or stuck in the office at night making up the hours.

Compare that with the last employer I worked at, which was a defense contractor. For those of you who don't know how defense contractors work, federal law requires that every employee's hours be accounted for, so I'd have to either make up the hours or take sick time every time I had a doctor's appointment. Don't get me wrong: they were fairly progressive for a defense contractor (nobody bat an eye at the purple stripe I had in my hair at the time), but they were still subject to a whole ton of federally-mandated bullshit that I'm glad to be rid of. I sucked it up when I worked there because I got paid really well, but now that I'm out, I don't miss it.

NSA election fix leaker Reality Winner arrested and arraigned
There are various ways to set this up. What I would propose for California would have these properties:

() The annual tax bill would be capped according to the Prop. 13 formula (annual increase limited to 2%). The difference between the tax bill and the tax due gets added to the lien balance.

() The tax bill would increase at that rate even if the property value drops, until the lien balance is paid off.

With these rules in place, it's actually pretty hard for the lien balance to get very large compared to the amount by which the property has appreciated. It would take a catastrophically sudden and severe drop in property values for that to happen.

You're assuming the people employing that black humor don't believe what they're saying.

I, and I expect the person to whom you reply, don't adhere to that assumption. I think that "just a joke", in this context, is the exhibition of profound naivete. And even if the speaker realizes it's a joke--the listeners often don't. See the /pol/ commentary elsewhere in this thread; /pol/ was "just joking" until those jokes were taken as articles of faith and became the core of a literally fascist movement.
The vast majority of google searches are certainly not all searching for things that would lead them to WSJ.

If we take just the population of the US in 2017 (326.5M), and assume every American searches via Google for their news, we're looking at give or take 1% of the US with the WSJ subscriber estimate you provided (~3M).

We can refine these numbers further...

19.4% of the US population is less than or equal to 14 years of age (18 would be better, but couldn't find) - so that gives 263M potential American news readers

The Pew Research Center http://www.journalism.org/2016/07/07/pathways-to-news/ states that about 38% of adults in 2016 often get news online (~99M)

That leads to at least 3% of US Google news searchers are potential WSJ subscribers.

So that's not a tiny number (yes the number could be adjusted for worldwide English speaking news googlers - but I think I've made my point).

How many of these subscribers are wealthy and coveted by advertisers?

What if more news publishers follow WSJ and you happen to be a subscriber of that content?

With the amount of information that Google has on its users, I don't see why it can't adjust search results based on whether or not you subscribe - and bring value to whichever side of the paywall you reside on.
I don't really understand how this would work out. A 65% tax on renters would really drive them away wouldn't it? If you were to collect enough to create the "construction fund", cheap buildings would be built, but who would buy them? If a bunch of buildings were built and rent prices dropped, wouldn't that further block people from purchasing buildings from rent too?
That is almost entirely related to lifestyle decisions rather than whether or not one is "barely getting bye"
Does it also replace 'millennials' with 'snake people'?
It's not the capital gains taxes that prop 58/etc allow you to escape, it's a reassessment of the valuation for property tax purposes. So in your example, the inheritors get a house with a $500/yr property tax bill (1% of 50k) instead of a $10000/yr property tax bill. (1% of 1M) Meanwhile all their neighbors who had to buy their homes recently are paying that $10k/yr.

The estate tax doesn't kick in until 5 or so million so the capital gains thing is mostly irrelevant.
I certainly wouldn't ask for all of this information in an interview (as a candidate), but it's exactly the sort of thing I try to find out when I'm looking up companies to apply to. Unfortunately, most companies aren't up front about this sort of thing - either because they don't know what candidates want, or because they know they'll look bad.
Isn't that $1710 already including the 30% discount? (It works out to $3.4 x 30ish days x 70%). You get similar discounts on AWS, but you have to commit for a year - given the OP's intent of leasing a Dell server for three years, this shouldn't be dismissed.
