I have a much higher faith in the capacity of the Internet to produce liars, trolls and delusionals than you apparently have.

This is an open internet forum for anyone to type anything they feel like in. Of course, as far as you know, I might be an Uzbeki 12-year old, so that argument only goes so far...

I can imagine that Google interviews for other roles than Software Engineers can have any kind of wacky questions. But mostly these stories sound so much like the stories that used to go around about Microsoft interviewing, only with the company name switched, that I have to think it has to do with their inherent virality somehow.
Their business model is the arbitrage between legal tourism housing and illegal short term rentals of residential neighborhoods to the detriment of more permanent residents.

For both owners of properties and travelers, this is good for you, so you do mental gymnastics to escape it as you can see all over this comment section :)
You can do the same thing today simply by burying tubes in the ground, at least 6 feet down. The ground is cooler in the summer than the air, and warmer in the winter. This can pre-heat and pre-cool air for your HVAC system.

It's been around a long time, I'm surprised almost nobody uses it.
Exactly. The fact that the .net framework will not implement .net standard mean the latter lost immediately most of its raison d'être.
I'm not sure what you are getting at. If it turns out that Chrome doesn't block these ads, and there is some sort of reasonable evidence that it's due to some sort of intentional functionality to exclude them, I'd agree that would be a big, big problem. But, if some number of them manage to get through the ad blocking, another reasonable explanation would be that Chrome's feature just isn't as good as it could be and isn't by itself evidence of some conspiracy.

Regardless, it's all speculation about something that hasn't happened yet. It's reasonable to talk about these issues - and hopefully some group goes further than speculating and actively monitors the situation. But, until there is some evidence that Google is misbehaving, what has been announced is that Google is going to try to provide a feature that will actively help users - and I hope they are successful at doing that.

> The D.C. area [...] haul out to a suburb 30 miles away [...] and metro/commuter train in.

That might as well be the end of the world. The commute from that distance can easily crack two hours; I'd have a shorter commute driving from DC to literally the capital of the confederacy (105 miles, 1.7 hours reverse commute) than I'd have driving from Dumfries, VA into DC (30 miles, 2+ hours traffic).

Source: lived/ing inside the beltway for decades until present. Also, I've made that DC-RVA drive more times than I'd care to admit, and it was less self-harm-inducing than my standard commute from inside the beltway into DC itself.
In California, at least, it's private except for certain specific political uses, like sending voter slates. It is provided with a contract constraining its use.

You can't just walk into a Registrar and walk out with all the voter data and turnout history and use it however you want. Even party Central Committees and mailhouses have to sign usage agreements.

The Times cares nothing about the law, of course. This is already demonstrated when they "leak" alleged contents of people's tax returns, military intelligence briefings, etc.
Haven't thought about it much since it saves for that specific url but I think that's a good idea!
Because we’re optimizing for the least human suffering.

Why would NYC give a shit? Amazon represents a quite small amount of economic activity relative to NYC.
Judging by the number of downvotes I'm receiving in this chain, people have very strong opinions (and interesting reference points) on what 'right next to each other' means. However, since karma is free, I'll point out that the population of Australia is less than that of many well-separated regions of the U.S., which is unsurprising given that its total population is 1/13th of the U.S.'s.
Do you have any links to studies re immuno-rejection? I've heard it mentioned but I've also heard the opposite from the likes of the stem cell clinic in Panama.
> I do wonder if just smiling and making eye contact would be a better time

No, it would not. This is a good way to look extremely creepy and make everyone around you uncomfortable.
No one is telling how anyone voted. Just whether they voted.
Yet another meal kit company bites the dust
It's hard to definitively say, but I'd bet that the young people enjoy getting paid between 2x and 50x what they'd earn back home then retiring when they're 30 more than they enjoy the fame.
Yeah I built this actually so I can help out a friend of mine that was taking a CS course as an elective remotely. I just wanted something that was so simple to used and never go lost when I came back to it.
That's right. Tons of contractors want to build into GovCloud as well, which will be exploding in the near future. They already have tons of data centers in Northern Virginia due to its proximity to ISPs and the federal government.
Just looking out the window with the occasional head nod is creepy?
Curious what this is going to do to engineering salaries in NYC.
Yes, yes, and yes.

Although I'd point out that: Zen has no God or gods or beliefs.
I was going to say members of each party but I realized that there are many non-political party interests that need to be represented as well for ideal fairness. Largely what I'm getting at is that adversarial systems fail when somebody doesn't have an adversary.

So in general it's not enough for them to be bipartisan, they need to be a group that collectively opossss every action someone takes. When all the dust settles the only things people will actually be able to do are the things permitted by the rules.
I really hope Cuomo didn't give Amazon huge tax breaks for coming to NY. Frankly Amazon needs NYC more than we need them. NYC is a boom town at the moment with a lot of jobs and skilled professionals moving in. Since 2010 the population has grown by 375k people which is about 40% the population of San Fransisco.

There are 20 million people in the NY Metro area, and NYC is a true global city. I know it will be some political coup for Cuomo who has sights on national office bringing Amazon here, but to win the Willy Wonka like contest by giving Amazon a lot of freebies is disapointing.
In a strange way I think that title ("See the Voting Histories of Your Friends and Family (OutVote S18)") may have unintentionally been even more baity, because a lot of commenters seem confused by the phrase "voting history". So maybe we'll try the main article title for a while.

Is it just me or this article is very poorly written?
I'm not sure this hypothetical circle is meaningful, but since I found this cool site I'll point out it's something like 15%
(http://www.statsamerica.org/radius/big.aspx).
I realize this is publicly available information but the way the political climate is polarizing online, with things like shared block lists on Twitter where many people won’t know every individual on it or why, is it hard to believe something that gives you superficial treatment of complex matters like this couldn’t make things worse? I’m not saying this app should be banned, but I think these concerns and those outlined in the article have merit.

As a single point of anecdata, I might show up as a registered Republican because I did so to vote against Trump in the primary, and then also voted against him in the general. People who know me already know that, people who don’t will look at the red R next to my name and maybe draw some incorrect and unfair conclusions. I wonder now if I’ve been passed over for any jobs recently because of that. Like you said, my vote is private, and that’s not exactly an appropriate question to ask in an interview. So people will follow their own assumptions.
This is just a code editor didn't want to make it to complex. Great idea with the slider, the font size grows pretty quickly though!
A lot of the Southwest directly contradicts your point: huge, almost endless tracts of suburbia with no urban core whatsoever. Phoenix (4.7MM people in the metro area, virtually no downtown) is the quintessential example.
Assuming the at-scale cost is similar to gasoline, it would cost ~$75k just for that much material.

If you assume the useful life is 18 years, you would have to spend >$347/mo on heating/cooling for it to be worth it.
Why do we consider "get out the vote" efforts to be a good thing, though? If someone doesn't care enough to bother to vote without being nagged, are they providing any sort of meaningful input? How considered will their choice be?

Ive always thought such efforts are another symptom of 'us vs. them", where the only goal is to get more of your members to vote. I think it would be aassive improvement if this information wasn't even part of voter registration. If you want to be a Democrat or Republican and vote in the primaries, that shouldn't be part of voter registration, you should have to separately register with your party of choice.

Because I just don't see any reason that anything you mentioned (targeted advertising, targeted transportation for the elderly) is at all a net positive for democracy.

Priority disputes
Unfortunately the report itself uses diplomatic language which can be hard to parse. For example:

BSR also notes that the recent action to remove senior
military officials from Facebook has a material impact on Facebook’s ability to implement some of BSR’s
recommendations, especially those that relate to activities undertaken inside Myanmar.

I take this to mean, "Facebook's attempt to punish Myanmar's military leaders has infuriated the government and its supporters, and this blowback has made it harder for Facebook to protect the rights of the Rohingya minority."

I think most states make this publicly available. California may be an exception.
I wonder how they factored in that red-green color blindness affects up to 8% of males. Should color really be the most important? Would be interesting to see what percentage of accidents are attributed to misreading a symbol vs a color vs anything else.
Thanks for all the links and info. I will spend some time exploring them. Much appreciated
> that's an incredible amount of pandering for the governor of the state containing New York City to be doing

Pandering is free.

I imagine infrastructure-based incentives will be popular in New York. Large tenants make big infrastructure possible. That enables further density, which means more jobs, more municipal budget and more demand for local commerce. Turning Amazon's HQ2 into the catalyst for building out Western Brooklyn and LIC infrastructure isn't a bad trade for the city. (Tax credits would be tone deaf, but if done in a budget-neutral manner could be okay.)

New York City is a commercial centre. Pragmatism wins votes.
Call me skeptical but: two days after a flurry of articles about how NYC, Crystal City, AND Dallas are in late stage negotiations, NYT doesn’t mention Dallas at all?

Property developers of earmarked properties in Dallas, per WSJ, have also taken their potential Amazon properties off the market as have developers in Crystal City. Yet NYT makes no mention of such a move in Dallas. Why?
For sure I sleep better when I spend 1 hour reading before sleeping than when I watch a series or play a video game.
It's false, but Four Roses has what was a few years ago the 7th largest whiskey still in the country (by capacity), larger than MGPI's, which is in fact the still that supplies most rye to bogus NDP "distilleries".

(MGPI rye is quite good, but you shouldn't pay a premium for it. They're finally doing their own bottlings now, which is good news for consumers.)
Uh... there are most certainly not hundreds of software jobs in Remote, OR. That would be a place barely more than a wide spot in the road. Entirely befitting of its name, it is left of nowhere. I have no doubt it lacks ANY form of high speed internet access.

The read on these offers should be you could work offshore or domestically.
Those markings are primarily useful for indicating where -not- to dig or trench; it often doesn't matter what the markings identify.

If digging needs to intersect any of those areas it generally means doing it by hand.
A phone company isn't the government either, but I am pretty sure Samsung is not allowed to deactivate my phone because they did not like my speech.
My favorite story about the SR-71 is how the CIA set up front companies to buy titanium from the Soviets because the US didn’t have sufficient production capacity.
A private website isn't a megaphone. No one is forcibly making people visit a URL and read their content (Beyond say...spam or clickbait, and in that case, sure, I can sympathize with you). But the internet is a lot more like a library than it is a crowded city street with a megaphone.

You can go your entire life on the internet and not have to read an opposing political viewpoint. Especially if you read curated content from mainstream media outlets that don't allow commenting, voting, and social participation. Or simply skip the comments. It isn't that hard to avoid the "hateful" content.
One way Apple could continue to grow their revenue would be iPhone as a Services, or basically the Apple upgrade programme but available world wide. For a basic monthly price, you get iPhone, AppleCare+ Theft, Your iPhone Storage Size iCloud Backup. You can choose whether you want to spread this as 24 months or 36 months, interest free. This makes good uses of Apple's constant overflowing of cash, and no other players on the market could easily copy such programme because of their cash flow and cost of money. Apple are also earning extra on iCloud and AppleCare+ which is also high margin services.

Apple could then offer options on top of the basic services, AirPod, Apple Music, Apple TV Subscription, and may be even your monthly iTunes Store Credit ( Apple save more on less per-transition cost ), all in one monthly bill.

This way Apple could transition into a Services company, and services tends to be very sticky and can be valued as such, while the current Apple Stock, despite all the brand loyalty it is still valued as a hardware company based on unit sales. Apple would have been 2T company if it were valued anything like Microsoft , Google, or Amazon.

I also believe iPad Pro being able to have an external monitor, and hopefully someday keyboard and mouse will take over the current PC market with little to no competition right now. That is assuming Apple wants the iPad to do that, a replacement as Desktop. iPad Pro, being portable for field sales and mobile, iOS security and double as Desktop could be the perfect fit for All businesses. The TCO in managing these must be dramatically lower than Laptop or PCs.

True!
Its also a bold face lie. By the very fact that these records are public makes them more or less "democratized" already. These apps are there to monetize public information for private profit, with a patina of pseudo-civic morality. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who read this and jumped at that awful line, albeit for different reasons.
Do you ever game? Or watch TV? Or do anything at all for entertainment?
Hi, I know this isn't what you're asking for but after reading that it's "seriously reducing my quality of life." I would suggest you read "The Divided Mind" by Dr. John Sarno.

It's just a book and maybe it can help you get better fast ( you can even find the pdf on Google too I'm sure if you aren't ready to spend anything). The best part is reading the book alone can help restore the quality of your life as long as you keep an open mind. I didn't suffer from the same condition as you but I've been in a similar situation and this book changed my life (and another HNer who I recommend it too).

Also if you're suffering from back pain please also lookup "Healing back pain" by the same author.

Sorry for the unsolicited advice but I'm just trying to be helpful having been in a similar situation once. Try it before going for something so radical first. The only thing you have to lose is spending some time reading the book.

One way to describe the difference between SF/NYC and all these other places is that the former have people from all over the place, and that makes them interesting and sort of mind expanding in a way that's hard to describe.

The latter have varying degrees of "melting pot"-ness.
As someone who is not familiar with Rust at all, wow—what refreshingly helpful error messages!
I love that feature. Yes you need to use some savvy about who to trust. But I have had no problems with the plugins I have chosen, usually 5 stars means it works pretty well.
Ok? Not what I asked. Suntory has lots of distilleries. Honestly don’t know what their production mix is.

Also doesn’t account for the trick question which is jack daniels. With that one is their any chance your statement is true?

PS: this is the worst form of internet board pedantry. Thomas was talking about a mis representation of the whiskey industry & instead of reputing his point, which I agree with, I nerd sniped.
I imagine Chinese would be a lot harder. With Arabic, it's a total of 28 letters with more or less 3 different wants of writing them, giving a total of 84 possible glyphs. On top of this there are various accents that can be placed on every letter. In essence, it's not that much more complicated than some sort of Latin alphabet (i.e Spanish or Italian).

The process I used was to learn a new letter everyday (with its three combinations) then found a local Lebanese church that had Arabic classes and joined up.

I was a lot better than everyone else, because I went in with prior knowledge, so I was always at least several lessons ahead which allowed me to utilise my time with the teacher to ask questions on specific things rather than just trying to keep up with the core coursework.
Depends on the state. California has usage restrictions, and I’m pretty sure these violate them. I’ll find out soon since I’ve filed complaints with the California attorney general about all of the apps.
That's optional additional homework.
I don't disagree with you about property taxes.

It was indeed very rude to ask a friend that, and I still consider it very rude today to do that.

And this is a problem. It is a bad thing, not a good thing.

So my point still stands. Both voting information and property taxes used to be things that were defacto private, and I hope that they continue to be defacto private in the future.
The point of free speech isn't to reduce suffering or make for a more just society (At least in the United States). The point is to protect the natural rights of the individual, and consequently those of minorities, against those of the collective. Not the other way around.

Yes. We've changed the URL above.
I've never really been to the Southwest so that would be something I haven't experienced. It sounds a lot different than the suburbia I am accustomed to in other parts of the country.
The incentive is just not having to come up with and calibrate new questions. It takes a lot of effort to do that, and if you've been asking a "banned" question for a while and are comfortable with it, it's easy to just keep using it until someone explicitly tells you not to (reverse feedback from hiring committee to interviewer wasn't a thing for a while). Most engineers don't really enjoy interviewing and want to put minimal effort into it.
Yes, it works over udp. I've worked in the past in a startup that used fountain codes to transmit data over multicast and it worked beautifully. There was no need to retransmit specific packets and we only need to know when everyone got the file rather than what specific packets each client lost.
Jack Daniels operates the largest still (by capacity) in the states, but then the next like 15 big stills are all in Kentucky. Suntory has stills all over the place, but if it's not Beam, it's probably not not American Beam-Suntory whiskey.

(Weird fact: MGPI distillate is all over the market, but they're not even close to the "biggest" still).
I absolutely agree that fins has a point, and I'm serious - if it doesn't work for you, move away. There is certainly no lack of people.

I also dislike the strip malls everywhere; I was serious about the orchards part too. I wish that I could rewind to having fewer houses and strip malls and more orchards.

But for people who like suburbia but also want to work for technology companies, it works out pretty nicely. If you take the "everything that's copy pasted across the US" and splash in world class semiconductor company HQs (in San Jose and surrounding areas, like Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, etc), you get San Jose. Seems sorta unique to me, but I won't try too hard to sell it to anyone else who disagrees.
Thanks for the info. Yet another reason to not go back to California.

Billionaires Are Raging and the Minimum Wage Is on the Ballot
The right wing has a whole lot of psychological projection going on.

The GOP is rife with documented examples of back room deals that would easily qualify as "deep state" (eg the Iran hostage deal).

However it's the right wing that claim that Trump's enemies are "deep state".
The public purpose of making this info available is to reduce voter fraud. I suspect this isn't obvious to most people. The reason that we can be somewhat confident that the dead don't vote too often or that non-voters don't vote too often is that it's not that hard for anyone to run a study of voters to find people who are actually dead or who deny that they voted.
