You realize that your posturing, followed by denial of the evidence given to you that doesn't fit the narrative you entered the thread with, is exactly the problem that people are talking about here?

I have experienced this first hand in New Jersey, Boston, and Colorado. It seems to me that the only people who don't see a pattern are the people creating the pattern.
We buy it from various data providers. There are some errors here and there (we fix what we can) but overall data is of high quality.

> Also how do you include the code? Address line 2? 3? Memo? I don't always see these.

Technically as far as USPS is concerned, there are only 3 lines in an address: name, address, and city/state/zip. Address line 2/3 are non-standard and are disregarded, and you may put whatever delivery instructions in there you want.

If you have an address like "Room 321" that should go as part of Address Line 1.

However, mail is delivered by human beings and generally speaking you can get a surprising amount of mail delivered with non-standard addresses. It used to be quite common to give addresses in the form of "Red House on Easy Street at the top of the hill" and this will still usually make it through. See: "Falsehood: An address will be comprised of road names".

I did this when I was in grad school and could just grab them from the mail room and the staff were friendly and knew most students couldn't easily get stuff delivered to their apartments. At my current small bay area company they get fussy when tons of personal packages are coming in. Luckily, I live in a good area and packages don't get stolen off my porch, also they are hard to see.
Is there an API to obtain data from your site? I'm assuming two of the biggest features researchers will want is a "faculty acquired" and a "grant won" brag-post system. It will be interesting to see what data comes out of those two features. Who gets money, what do they do/buy with the money, who do they subcontract with that money, how long does it take to get money, who stays at their institution with their money, what PIs constantly win grants, etc.

This will be a lot of fun.

AFAICT here in the UK there was a very limited first week release, followed by a restock and since then it's not been an issue.

I am genuinely interested in whether miners are really buying these. Have you any reason to think they are?

I couldn't find much when I looked, beyond speculation about how amazing they might be (but turned out not to be). AFAICT for ethereum you're better off with nVidia 1070s which can cost about 75% as much, have about 75% of the hash rate, and use under 50% of the power.
Talking to a few professional academics I know, my impression has been that postmodernism is out of fashion in academia. I was disappointed because it seems like exactly what we are missing now (and in fact I thought the abandonment of postmodernism might be a cause of our problems):

A fundamental rejection of the supremacy of ideologies and absolute truths, and recognizing that at all their foundations are flawed human perceptions and self-serving assumptions. And the acceptance that yes, that includes the person in the mirror and their cherished beliefs.
The credit card companies themselves have pretty healthy margins. Maybe in the long run, Square could cut into Visa's 3% or whatever.
No, it's because you're acting like a fundamentalist. Real-world society-level choices involve balancing competing concerns from many groups of people. When somebody optimizes for exactly one thing (e.g., the you're-not-my-dad kind of freedom) and refuses to acknowledge anybody else's concerns as legitimate, all the while spouting dogma that relates to their views, I call that fundamentalist. I'm all for minimum state intervention and wide devolution of power, but unless you balance that with other concerns it, like anything, leads to pathological results.
Asking for evidence commensurate to a claim is posturing?

Edit: Claiming that you are right and someone else is wrong because they don't have evidence is posturing.

Where did I claim to be right, rather than ask for evidence to support someone else's claim? You seem confused.
That's not correct. $389 is its all-time high. It closed at ~$345 on Friday and opened ~$350 on Monday.
You can fire people for any reason, but there are costs involved in laying people off.

HR is a cynical business. Requiring stuff like training your outsourced replacement is also a strategy here — the longer you hang on to “undead” employees, the more likelihood they will leave voluntarily.
Huge fan. I've always been curious, but never reached out; Is there any way for people to host their own controller for free for non commercial endeavours? I'd love to get more hands on experience with how the software I love so much actually works.
Can’t tell if you’re trolling but you’re making some seriously unfounded assumptions based on zero information because it fits the outcome you want. I could just as easily make different assumptions to end up with different results.
The misstep for a non-hardcore gamer like me was that they didn't really deliver on the home entertainment hub either. It was a device halfway to nowhere.

The extra $1 it would have cost to include a digital broadcast tuner (vs. a $75 add on; down to $50 these days) would have been a big draw to cord cutters.

Second, the removal of the windows media tools that the 360 had made it less usable as a streaming device.

Felt like design by disjointed committee. I bought it as a media hub (and for the Forza series), but ended up being somewhat abandoned by MS as the focus shifted, understandably, to hardcore gamers.
> You sound like you doubt the viability of automated and distributed tree planting which may be more statistically significant? I get your point that hundreds may not do, what about hundreds of thousands, then?

No, my point was that if the solution is increased numbers, it's already cheap and viable to get humans to do it rather than deploying expensive tech.

(By hundreds, I meant hundreds for each group of 3 school kids in one afternoon.)

> Let's agree that we can't know as long as nobody tried.

I don't even know that nobody tried. I'm sure the actual experts (as opposed to us armchair ones) thought of it.

- It's not mass firing. It's not even 4% of the workforce.

- So, employees were "surprised". As most people who are fired, ever, in any company and epoch. How is this news at all?

- Recalling 11,000 units might not at all be connected with layoffs. Implying otherwise is a cheap yellow press journalism.

- "Citing fears of retaliation from Tesla". Yeah, because Tesla definitely is known for pursuing people like they're some kind of a cold-war era vengeful spy agency. Sure.

- Some layoffs came 2 weeks early. Wow. Scandalous!

- Somebody made the mistake of over-stating how much personnel a new office is gonna have. Surely, this is news-worthy, right?

- Exact number of people laid off is unknown so hey, I have a genius idea, let's listen to the former employees who are now negatively biased against the company. I mean, they can't be wrong, could they?

And then the company tries to minimize the chance of former employees suing them. That's relatively normal if somewhat scummy, sadly it's a pretty classic state of affairs. Hardly exclusive to Tesla, though.

This "tech reporter" would do well to work with paparazzi. It'll match her journalistic expertise.
I upvoted this article because it describes a problem on college campuses that I have only become aware of recently.

That said, it misrepresents the Berkeley riots in a deceptive way. The rioters were not students; they were masked, black-clad members of Antifa and a movement called Black Bloc.

I sympathize with journalists’ struggle to provide a coherent narrative, but rewriting history only serves to weaken the author’s point by anyone with first or secondhand knowledge of the events described in the article.
Do we know there aren't any managers leaving? Where I work when they do this sort of thing only the very top layers of management are secure.

I agree, the resistance is so strong, it's arguably rooted in biology.

However, I'd argue that it's more wide-ranging deficit than simply long-term thinking. I'd argue that it's about empathy deficits, all around - not just with in regards to the future.

actually if you read the attachments at the end of the referenced complaint[1] the FBI is claiming he did a bit more then look up the agent and his family. He also sent various semi-threating messages to them on facebook.

Still not sure why that gives them grounds to subpoena everyone on the thread.

Does anyone know of the “secret” sauce that made screenhero so much better than the alternative.
When I used it years ago, it was super smooth and felt more like the real screen rather than the remote screenshare
Anyone who has been actively listening to the radio or watching local TV broadcasts for the past 10-20 years can probably already attest to the bland homogenization and conspicuous corporate take overs (I immediately think of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM8L7bdwVaA); it seems like this is the next logical direction for them.

Personally I detest this and miss the flavor each city brought to its local media, instead of the same stations playing the same 30 songs repeatedly, but with phone music streaming becoming so popular I cannot see a lot of people being outraged by this.
Have to wonder if this has anything to do with DxO rating the Pixel 2 as the "phone camera with the best image quality".

Stand-alone ScreenHero sharing is smooth as butter -- truly amazing. Controlling a remote computer feels local.

Right now I'm using the slack-integrated "ScreenHero", and it's really laggy. This is super disappointing, and painful to use. It's actually making the mouse pointer of the person sharing lag for them.

Slack: please keep the stand-alone ScreenHero until you make the integrated one have the same performance.
Articles like this seem to deliberately blur categories so as to describe large portions of academia as uncharitably as possible. "Postmodernism" has never been a term with a consistent definition, but even given that, certain claims in this article are contradictory or outright nonsensical.

"Postmodernists have tried to hijack biology, have taken over large parts of political science, almost all of anthropology, history and English," Maitra concludes, "and have proliferated self-referential journals, citation circles, non-replicable research ..."

What would it even mean for English research to be "non-replicable"? In fact, the replication crisis has struck social psychology harder than any of the fields mentioned.

The implication throughout is that students are passive here: activism is something that their professors talk them into. This was not at all my experience at university, and it doesn't match what I've read about many contemporary protests. I'd be curious whether it matches the experience of anyone here on HN.

I'd argue that most of these students who supposedly think there is "no truth" have very specific views of what is and is not true, and that their views are violently opposed to those of the author. The last time there was intense campus protest, the issues were civil rights and the Vietnam war. No doubt, in today's climate protesters engaging on those issues would be likewise condemned as postmodernists believing in "no truth."

This issue isn't just plaguing the tech industry. This is an issue affecting the entire Western society, from Tech and Entertainment industries to even religious institutions.

> Americans seem in love with a fictional account of the countries history.

This shouldn't be about historical narratives or ideology, that's largely why public health insurance is dead-on-arrival in US politics. Both sides are terribly ideological about it and unrealistic as a result.

The healthcare industry is already the most heavily regulated of all industries in the US. Saying it's been held back from government intervention is equally a myth as the US modern history as a free-market friendly place is a myth.

This debate should be about whether certain market niches make the more sense as public entities. NOT as an example of "free markets" failing as a general rule and trying to sell the idea "you just need to accept that government knows best" (I'm paraphrasing).

Rather it should be sold as an exception to the rule. The simple fact is government should not be in the vast majority of industry. But healthcare (specifically health insurance) has many unique and perverse incentives making it poorly suited for markets and the public alternative offers plenty of benefits to a society, including a capitalist society. Healthy workers are good workers, small business is less burdened with expensive healthcare packages, the morality of treating a seriously sick person who can't work then billing their family $10k, etc, etc.

I believe there is still a good argument to be made in favour of public health insurance without alienating those who put their trust in markets. It's a unique exception and is already far from operating as a free market in the US. So why not bite the bullet and entirely subsidize it for everyone? That is a much smaller ask than the typical democrat "corporations are evil" pitch on this matter.

Messaging is important.

This article on Sidewalk labs leaves out a lot of details and for "journalism" didn't even bother to ask the local authorities if Sidewalk had the authority to build or execute any plans without approval by the government.

The reality is that this appears more like every other property developer master-planned community. Localities find a bit of land they want to develop or re-develop, they solicit architects and builders to submit proposals. Typically those proposals are master-planned, including commercial, residential, and public spaces. The city signs off on the plan, and then it is built. And like most such areas, there is a property management organization responsible for up keap, landscaping, repairs, maintenence, etc.

This is not the same as the company becoming the "government", they don't run the police, fire departments, schools, etc. The only difference it seems between what Sidewalk is doing, and what Centex, or Shea Homes, or other master-plan community builders, is that the latter are real estate companies, and Sidewalk is a tech company.

>For those who don't like it, that is fine. The ballot box is open as the prescribed means to effect a change.

Every single sentence you wrote here is extremely ignorant of the political reality in which that usual proper process has been in the muck for years. You're not realizing the effect that gerrymandering, voter suppression, and money in politics has on the ability of the usual system to work to reflect the desires of people, and that redirecting people to traverse that maze is essentially sending them on a quest to square a circle that will effectively keep the status quo.

And the status quo isn't good enough. Remember, just a few years ago, someone would be denied healthcare due to pre-existing conditions and die. THAT was the status quo, and it was so toxic that the party in power now, controlling all parts of the three branches could not repeal it. Forced arbitration is similar to healthcare, most people don't realize how bad it is until they have to go to head with it.
> The more interesting question is what role did the recoil against postmodernism play in the election of Donald Trump?

While it figures in the propaganda a lot, I don't think it's all that important; for broad (such as it is) base of Trump support, reaction against modernism is probably more germane than that against postmodernism.

And the forces behind the movement seem very strongly influenced by postmodern dialectical approaches, though obviously the key conflict they arrange analysis around are different than those of the more widely acknowledged leftist post-modernists.

Reaction against post-modernism seems likely to influence a fairly narrow intellectual (or pseudo-intellectual) slice of the movement.
That wouldn't make much sense, though. The last thing you'd want to do if you were trying to keep out a union is behave in a way your employees would see as tyrannical.

>Americans say they worry a "great deal" about crime

Maybe because in a country with profit-driven media and little in the way of media laws (arguably a good thing in many ways), media companies are beholden to their shareholders to maximize profit above all else - doing research, they discovered that the most profitable thing is fear mongering and "riling up the masses." Reminding news-readers every single day about the Vegas shooter, for instance. For example, here's the very first link on news.google.com for me this morning: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-bruce-paddock-20... "Brother of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock arrested in child porn case". "Did you forget about the MASS SHOOTING YET?! Don't forget about MASS SHOOTINGS!!!!!!"

>Millenials

Hmm, I'm skeptical whenever I see this word now. Looking at your article:

>Is iGen so different from the millennials because the former faces more chronic, long-term stress? Have the country’s colleges suddenly become brutal, toxic places, increasingly hostile to members of various identity groups?

Appears that your source isn't referring to an entire generation, but rather some college students. Also, I don't see anything that unilaterally supports your claim that "millenials don't see anything wrong [with being arrested for a tweet]." In fact, I've yet to meet a member of the nebulous "millennial" class that isn't appalled by this thought.
