How does that make them a victim? They weren't forced to sell at any price. That's real estate and the article says they are net new construction.

Also, Amazon has thousands of employees in NYC already. LIC is close to Midtown Manhattan, a few subway stops away and is a neighborhood full of new construction.

It makes sense for any employees to buy there regardless of any situation...doesn't?

Since when is "Buying a nice apartment in a desirable neighborhood near work" a suspicious or criminal thing? Geez.

wrong != illegal. You statement should read "There is literally nothing illegal with acting on insider information in a context outside of securities trading, which real estate is not." Given how contentious housing is these days due to high prices, I'd argue that many would find buying real estate using insider information to be wrong.

> Your Twitter is a self curated feed of the people you want to see.

While that may have originally been the intention of the site, and it might even be what Twitter still publicly claims to do, that is not at all what they actually give you now.

A couple of years ago, Twitter was awesome for keeping up with interesting new work in my topic area. More recently, it's a sh!t show of angry, snarky people I don't know, ranting about things that I either don't care about or could easily find somewhere else.

Maybe these people are all friends of a friend of a friend. I don't know and I don't care. I only log in when I have something to post -- usually some sort of shameless self promotion for a new paper or a talk.
If you hired a human assistant (or had an assistant at work), they would know when you're working and generally what you're up to. It would make sense that a digital assistant would need to know these things, too. It's inherently a high-trust relationship.

Of course, the risks are different when you're trusting a device from a large corporation to take on a role that a human would do.

I wouldn't buy one, but some people will decide it's worth it, and I don't think they are losing their freedom by giving orders to a machine.

That it didn't come from the larger political groups which means it's more likely to express the positions of a vocal minority.

There seems to be a periodic shift between whether or not dark saves energy or not. Back in the CRT days, it was true, because darker meant less powerful beam. Then in the LCD days, dark meant tmore energy to black out the pixels. Now with OLED displays, we’re back to dark saving energy.
There are many reasons. The elsephant in the room, being that it’s Javascript and includes a full blown browser with a JS VM.

When I write a C or C++ app, if I use libcurl and a library I’m using does as well, it links to the same shared libcurl library (mapped in RAM) as all other running processes do as well. With NPM, you can’t share libraries across process space and you’ll often even find the same packed being imported multiple times within the same app. In JS, it’s like statically linking all of your dependencies, but even less efficient. It can be argued that this is as good as it is bad.

When you build a code ecosystem atop JS, the underlying inefficiencies multiply as each layer is added. VS Code is more efficient, but even 192MB is still pathetically bloated.

Expect Atom to eventually approach and surpass 1GB of RAM, not less... at least in the short term.
The "10 am" policy, and the opposition to controlled burns are not coming from environmentalists (Just try googling "endagered species fire"... https://www.mass.gov/news/fire-prescribed-for-habitat-manage... ... many endangered species rely on fire, and we have known this for 50 years).

It's property owners who are opposed to prescribed burns, because there is a risk of prescribed burns getting out of control. From wikipedia: "In 1978, the Forest Service abandoned the 10:00 am policy in favor of a new policy that encouraged the use of wildland fire by prescription.[1][13]

Three events between 1978 and 1988 precipitated a major fire use policy review in 1989: the Ouzel fire in Rocky Mountain National Park, the Yellowstone fires of 1988 in and around Yellowstone National Park, and the Canyon Creek fire in the Bob Marshall Wilderness on the Lewis and Clark National Forest. In all three cases, monitored fires burned until they threatened developed areas."

those events caused a backlash against controlled burns, because obviously it's hard to sell the public that some destruction of property now is better than more of it later.
You'd need something no more than 8mm (an iphone SE has a jack and is 7.6mm thick - thinner than an X). It would add 8mm to the length of the case too (you'd insert sideways)

All iphones are 7-8mm thick, so any case is going to be thick enough to support a jack, which means adding 8mm to the length, and the mophie cases I've seen do just that.

However if apple refuse to allow it, that's obviously a problem, but it's not a technical problem.

Show HN: OptiMole, image optimisation done right
There were a whole bunch of them maybe 10 years ago. Usually advertised as "ionic air purifiers" or something similar. I found quite a few links / articles from "fanless air purifiers": https://www.google.com/search?q=fanless+air+purifier

The market dried up because they were borderline bullshit, and produced ozone, sometimes far in excess of their claims. They did make air move quietly tho.

> The only skill I leveled up significantly was Hiding. I'd go where the loot was, and adventure for a few minutes until the inevitable gang of PKers came wandering through, looking to loot all the players like me. Some players ran, some hid, most died.

Really expected your story to be focused on scavenging the loot the PKers left behind.
First one is interesting to me. Because if I ask you if you know X, do you think you are breaching his privacy if you told me that you do know X? What if I have a lot of time and ask that a lot of people? It seems to me that in many cases we are punishing entities that operate on publicly available data.

I like security mindset where if something is possible to know about you, you assume that somebody knows it. E.g. you can tell a lot by exact times of HN comments. Or by collecting and analysing data from multiple sources.

I don't like that thanks to street cameras or GPS your car can be very accurately tracked, but in my mind we kind of allowed that the moment we put visible unique registration numbers of cars (I know I'm pretty much alone on this one).

I have no idea where you got antisemitism from, but described problems seem to be mostly problems with society and not really specific to this medium. Some problems are difficult. What one considers a hate speech, somebody else can consider a freedom of speech. And vice versa.

Personally, I don't care much whether FB allows pictures of breastfeeding mothers or not since I'm not a user. I also wouldn't even know whether it does - I don't like FB, so I ignore it and most news related to it.
Errr.... It might be £17. It's a Three business contract that's been running for two or three years now.

I put the unlimited part to the test as well, using it as our home broadband for a few months. 100GB+ and they didn't squeal.

(--edit-- looking at the invoice it's a mess of charges, bonuses and weird discounts, starting at a base price of £34 plus vat, brought down to £17 plus vat, not quite as cheap as I thought and a lot weirder)
I think what I'm asking is a little deeper. It's a question I'm wrestling with because I do it too -- I consider myself a news junkie. But WHY do we want to be informed? What good is it to know whats happening? Especially if its something happening far away to people I dont know -- I AM interested, but it doesnt make rational sense to me.

I think it is a little more complicated than just wasting time. You can waste time in lots of ways -- so there has to be SOME draw to news.
Ok, I gave it a shot. For reference, here's my resume (google doc link so I don't have to PDF bomb people, and because I never bothered to transfer this thing to HTML): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A3Ns93sbE8v70hCt7yWJigoi...

Apparently I have only 7 of 30 "Must Have Words." I have TDD, Open Source, API, AWS, GitHub, REST. I should include, according to this site:

, Security

, OOP
, Continuous Integration (CI)
, Availability
, Docker
, SOLID
, NoSQL
, Configuration Management (CM), Robust, Tuning, Algorithm, Web services, Networking, Design Patterns, Unit testing, Hadoop, Continuous Deployment (CD), Big Data, Agile, Machine Learning, Microservices, Artificial Intelligence.

I use "enough" action verbs that "emphasize my tech skills":

engineer develop architected engineered code built

But I could add some more:

Debugged
Upgraded
Assembled
Rebuilt
Investigated
Trained
Devised
Programmed
Maintained
Designed
Redesigned
Applied
Utilized
Overhauled
Initiated
Solved
Reduced

Now it's got some freaky little pie chart thing that I don't understand, but it says that to applicant tracking software, I look like a "Other 16%, Back-end (Javascript), QA, Cloud Computing, Front-end" guy.

Looks like I have to pay to unlock some other things, like it says it found typos, something about soft skills, something about resume size, dunno. Mildly interesting, though I find this fairly useless compared to just having someone professional look at your resume. I'm not sure adding the word "Unit Testing" to my resume increases my chances at getting into netflix, I already list my unit testing frameworks and my testing experience at electric imp, though I suppose it will be missed by a non-programming recruiter just scanning for keywords, so that keyword stuff is probably the best advice this thing gives.

JC resident who commutes to Manhattan here:

> Most people aren't willing to switch trains to get to work.

Not true in NYC. Plenty of people change subways once or even twice to commute. Changing PATH to subway is no different except you have to pay twice.

> you could probably take the ferry directly from downtown JC to LIC.

Currently there are no ferries that run this route directly. NY Waterway runs the Hudson River ferries, which the MTA (subcontracted out) runs the East River ferries. You could do this commute by ferry if you changed ferries at Wall St/Pier 11, but that point you might as well take the train.

presumably you exchange gifts with these people on some sort of regular basis. if so, isn't this just a net zero transfer? may as well just not give gifts.

While I like Apple and that they are taken a stance for privacy, a serious conversation needs to happen about if privacy is a human right or a luxury good. Because the way it's going, only the people who can afford to will be able to pay for privacy.
Isn't there an incentive for the company to make sure that driver pay is unbearably low without chasing these "incentives"? If so, it seem to just be a scheme to ensure loyalty for the same price.
I looked it up and it appears Amazon's current office in NYC is in Midtown -- meaning 2 employees of several thousand -- bought a condo in a neighborhood just a couple of subway stops away. Probably because they couldn't afford to live in Manhattan!

ARREST THEM! People shouldn't' be spending their paychecks on a home with a decent commute to work.
If you ask someone if they are willing to let an impersonal algorithm analyze their data in exchange for a free service, the answer is generally yes. If you ask them if you can read their email and peruse their browsing history, the answer is almost always no.

Exactly. That's why I put "privacy" in quotes. I think people are smarter than you give them credit for. I don't give out the password to my email account, but do I care that much if Google has some machine learning algorithm with a bunch of data points buried in there that I use the word "NYC" a lot? No, I really don't care. And yeah, they might get hacked and leak my emails to the world. That would suck. But that risk is worth it to me, and judging by the hundreds of millions of people with Gmail accounts, I'm not alone.

I think the issue depends on whether a service is acting as a principal or an agent. If a user signs up for your service and says "I would like to subscribe to Mox News" and you pull data on behalf of your user then I see no issue.

But in the same way you as an individual couldn't republish those copyrighted works, your aggregation service where you choose from sources and publish your links and summaries wouldn't be okay.
Not exactly: it is ok to say that there were no original findings. This is a tiny semantic detail but important: if the author does not support his findings, it is OK to re-assert the null hypothesis but not to say that "the findings were wrong".

What I mean is: "no experiment" does not mean the same as "wrong experiment".
I didn't get that from the thread title ("user's e-mails") or the Register article [0] which says:

and

> [...] this is not a breach in the sense of a hack while maintaining that the snafu is an inadvertent technical error and that they emailed customers from an abundance of caution.

There's nothing "morally" wrong with insider trading. The purpose of insider trading regulations is to limit the spread of information about the firm. Executives who keep pertinent information from the investing public are conspiracies against their own employers. Defection from such a conspiracy may be disloyalty to the management chain, but it is loyalty to the shareholders.
even if this was based on insider info, there are no laws preventing this..
Judging by the relative success of biological and social systems, systems that communicate effectively with each other end up much smarter than systems that don't communicate as effectively. Smarter as in winning the competition for resources more often.

The big question is whether we can build systems that communicate, but don't create vast disparities of information between overminds and everybody else. At this point the handful of information slurping mega-corporations have a huge information advantage compared with the average person. If nothing changes, this is the end of the humanistic world order based on the primacy of the individual brain.

People that can't keep a job, or get a job, often. It was Oil and Gas, so turnover was expected (projects finish, everyone goes away), but if consistently over the last decade or 2 they couldn't get on another project, it was a red flag. Not disqualifying, but a red flag.
