You seem to be asserting that the land value is arbitrary simply because it's located in a different area. The value is higher because the land is a lot more useful/productive / accessible/developed. You can't just wipe all that value away.
Water

The reason Pakistan want Jammu-Kashmir, water security.
China took Tibet, for a similar reason.

US wanted Gulf Oil; Invaded Iraq, what other countries after WW-II

Shit insecure bullies do to nurture their ego/fear.
I just edited the comment to clarify what I meant by those words. And they should be used because they are accurate in this context. Although I did convert "greed" to "avarice" in my clarification since I think it's more accurate here.
They can do what they want, but the planet can't sustain large population growth anymore
They don't need to move. If more companies accepted more remote positions, it would lessen the need for everyone to mass in certain locations. Everything would be slightly more distributed instead of overly centralized.

AFAIK the current state of things is that LinkedIn is welcome to try and stop people from scraping the site, but it can't criminally charge them or try to legally block them from the service. Roughly the same situation as adblockers -- you can detect them and stick banners all over the place, but you can't outright bar someone from running uBlock Origin on your domain.

Please note that I am not a lawyer.
It's incredibly improbable. While much of the planet's surface is recycled constantly, there are also huge swaths of land that are billions of years old and haven't changed enough to hide evidence of complex society. Dinosaur fossils are rare, but not that rare. Tiny ones are abundant. If all life on earth ceased today, you could come back here in a billion years and find plenty of evidence everywhere. Maybe it's not 100% impossible, but it's so improbable that it belongs alongside other fringe theories.
> Every city needs people who do lower paying jobs. Someone has to clean those office buildings, someone has to take care of sick people at hospitals, someone has to drive taxis, buses, ... By not supplying those people with affordable housing within the city they're lives only become worse (more money and time spent commuting, less time spent with family and friends).

They can live in the suburbs. Nobody has a special right to live in a specific place. They can commute like everybody else.
If I'm not mistaken they were let go long after the industrial revolution, which changed the calculus around colonies. Pre-industrial economies expanded by territory, to over simplify.

Additionally, when the crown let the colonies go did it lose its business interests or did it still retain control of them? How much capture still exists?
I don't think you'll find many on HN supporting Guantanamo so the point is kind of moot.
Originally not. The meaning as it existed during the Cold War was "block-free".

USA/NATO were the First World. USSR/Warsaw Pact was the Second World. Everyone else was Third World.

That definition includes countries like Switzerland, which sounds very strange today, because the meaning has changed to precisely the one you have in mind.
there is an effort to put super mini spaceships on missions to other solar systems, and they would travel at something like 20% the speed of light. I think it works by having the probes be like the size of a cellphone or something, and being attached to a solar sail, then using an incredibly high powered laser to pump the solar sail full of energy to get it going so fast. I think if that architecture works they could reach ... proxima centauri? ... in something like 20 years.

just pointing that out to say that i think we have technology that would take less time than 450k years :)
It's a running joke that the country and Berlin in particular is turning into GDR2.0. Which is why there's lots of dissent especially among the former East-Germans who feel reminded of something.

Yep, just ignore half the things on the list.
I really want to ask them how they think 'The Cloud' works to figure out how on earth they think it's decentralized in any way, shape, or form.

Unless they think having Cloud services being offered by a couple of giant companies rather than one is considered "decentralized".
No it is an indication that people are cheap and a person who bought a apartment as an investment now makes 30-60€ a night vs about 600 a month.
There is a reason hotels are expensive.
Airbnb does the same as uber. They start a business with either exploits a loophole or is illegal.
Btw. at least in austria, if you want to rent your apartment on such a plattform you have to clear it with everyone who lives in that house.
Of course nobody does that and of course the plattforms don't verify that, because they are "just a connecting plattform, we don't give any warranty but of course we get millions of of this"
Lots of people care, they just can't do anything when every choice in the shops for countless things are manufactured there, and few web stores even list country of origin.
That's what you think. Why not go ask some social sciences or gender studies "professor". Yeah, they might not admit it outright, you might have to dig a bit.

One of the two of these is a conscious choice you have made in your life, one is not, and is instead something you are born and have no control over. Any guesses as to which is which and why those are different?

Hey guys,
We are open to a fully remote option for some of the roles. For instance, C/C++ could be fully remote.
The odds of that are effectively zero. Over a multi-billion year development line, being within 100 years of one-another is effectively impossible.

They are either unevolved animals, or have already merged into the Great AI or whatever happens when intelligent species evolve.
Companies aren't going to move HQ's, because that's a terrible idea. The knowledge and skills loss would take years and years to recover from, substantially impeding productivity for a long time. It's economic suicide for a company like Google.

What you're not bothering to grapple with is: why are these companies trying to expand headcount in areas that are somewhat hostile to them, and also much more expensive? Hell, even in Europe, Google's big offices are in the most expensive cities. There's a reason for that, and it's not because they enjoy lighting money on fire.

Once you've figured out the 'why' there, you can work on coming up with a fix or workaround. Until then, just blithely saying "well they're just too lazy to do this other thing" itself just smacks of intellectual laziness. It lets you slam them without having to analyze the very real issues keeping companies in expensive tech hubs.
Yup, agree. A low-fee payments app with crypto rewards would be interesting. But just like how Patagonia serves certain consumers I think different payments apps will appeal to different people who have different priorities and goals when it comes to their money. It opens up the landscape to massive competition in designer currencies and payments apps. I think it will come down to trust, security and brand identity
I would assume it’s x86 architectures, particularly those with a 32 bit processor word size.
Leaded gasoline was banned around the year 2000 in both the EU and Mexico. At that time, crime rates were dropping significantly in Europe, without elapsing 18-25 years.

Also, European countries have some of the lowest crime rates in the world. If the young of the 2000s were under its influence, the effect is not large(not larger than 1-2 homicides per 100K people).

I believe that drug abuse during the 80s and 90s was the culprit of high crime rates in Europe. People addicted to drugs(heroin, crack, cocaine, etc.) committed lots of crimes. In the late 90s and early 2000s, Europe managed to lower drug abuse and then crimes dropped. For Mexico, there is likely another explanation. Like drug trafficking for instance.

Having said this, I think leaded gasoline has adverse effects on public health. I believe it can create mental problems on people.

However, not everyone exposed to leaded gasoline will develop those problems. And among those affected, not all of them will become criminals only because of lead poisoning. Therefore, I don't think that the majority of criminals during the 90s were so because of leaded gasoline. I think that other factors were more important, like drug abuse.
We should consider a 75% capital gains rate on land value increases. After all, the owner typically had little effect on their own land value. A big effect comes from their neighbors building shops and offices and the biggest effect comes from the city building roads and transit and other infrastructure. Land "investment" is the least productive form of investment. If you built a building, then yes, profit from that, but benefits from increases in land value should go to the city.
I also like using strawmen as my examples. They make it easier to win the arguments I have with myself in the shower every morning.
Isn't India and Gandhi the inventor of this? I thought that was why he was essentially a political genius, because he invented a means of non-violent regime change. And that is why totalitarian governments respond so strongly to these nonviolent protests, because if left for too long not even tank treads can crush them.

To quote another: "There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part! You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels ... upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop."
> Often times it is much lower or has some other concession.

No, it's going to become higher than a rent increase would allow (those have a limit by law, new contracts don't (yet)), that's the problem.

As long as you stay put you're mostly fine but if you have to move.. urgh.

Even if the government officials were so distressed by the costs of the economic sanctions on their people that they offered to step down, who would be an acceptable replacement? Some puppet ruler that would sell the country to multinational corporations so they can exploit its resources and people?

One of the problems with democracies is that they're really hard to get started. There are a lot of institutions that need to be in place before they really work, and rushing right to elections just ends up with the same old assholes staying in power because that's all anybody knows.
I actually have an annual calendar reminder setup for myself; once a year I login and read/delete messages.

I read somewhere in the past few years "third world" is actually a political term. And the The third world being defined as being not aligned with either the first or second world.

Where the first world would be the US influence sphere, and the second world being USSR influence sphere.

If you're going to call out a misrepresentation then maybe don't do it yourself? He didn't say he "doesn't know" if he would do that. He said "No. Not in a million years."
What kind of problem do you consider it to be?
This is a misrepresentation which is trying to paint a relatively weak position as a stronger one. A small fraction of that money is being spent on gold. According the financial times[1], China only bought 15.6 tonnes - about $675 million worth[2], compared to the dollar deficit of ~$7.5 billion.

China has a trade surplus with the US, but is net losing dollars because it has to use dollars to buy oil and other imported goods as very little international trade is transacted in yuan. They aren't choosing to shift away from the US dollar. They need them and are going through their stockpile.

You assume government regulators and policy makers were not in on it from the start.
My take on it: Democracy is necessary and good. It can be inefficient when times are good, but it is the most efficient way to right the ship when things are bad...also unilateral actions may appear efficient, but there will be lots of stakeholders that get hurt by those unilateral actions.

Consensus takes time, and is susceptible to all sorts of poor arguments and one-liners, but when the people are suffering, I can think of no better way to peacefully overthrow the ruling body than by democratic elections.

Huh? Can I get a pointer about Ubuntu dropping multiarch? As for Debian's multiarch, it's a work in progress like most things. If something doesn't work, please file a bug.
That's one of the accomplishments of this program: they got Mountain View to change the zoning for North Bayshore (where the Google campus is) to support highrises with up to 10,000 housing units.
The fact that duration is basically an int wrapper around nanoseconds, and converting between different units is very awkward are just the beginning. Take a look at Joda time (JVM, which served as the basis of what later was integrated into the standard lib) or Noda time (.NET) to see examples of properly designed time libraries. It's no wonder that golang's badly designed time library caused an outage at cloudflare.
A bug was my first thought too.
Except:

I had never made a reservation, never even searched for a hotel, as we were staying with relatives. So, there is zero chance that it had anything to do with other searches or reservation attempts, and the flights were made directly at the airline site (i.e., not through Google Flights or a travel aggregator).

The advert populated in the same time-frame as the flight; the airline's flight confirmation email to my Gmail acct had clearly been was parsed, and there was nothing in the email having to do with a hotel.

Moreover, when I clicked thru and found the menus, Google settings pages were there, offering to enable/disable the feature, along with describing that the "helpful" auxiliary reservation feature could not be turned off separately, and providing a feedback opportunity.

My recollection is that this advertisement itself also came with a google message about how this was a helpful new feature to complete my travel palns.

Obviously I turned it off, and slammed them in the feedback, in particular how I couldn't manage the sub-features (actual vs advertised reservations) separately.

Neither item ever happened again, which I would expect having turned off the feature. Which also indicates that this was something under Google's control as opposed to an infection or bug.

My guess is that this is a short-lived experiment, gathered a lot of the kind of feedback I gave, and was cut off by one of their smarter managers.
unless someone has a plan to burn and spew the old cells into the atmosphere, causing the earth to heat up, it will never be as big a problem as gas cars.

(that is the worst case, where auto makers just bury the cells in the ground. thankfully, that's not actually the case. they reuse battery packs and are scaling up techniques to recover the rare metals from them. you haven't heard much about this at scale because few packs have actually hit their end of life.)

The suburbs (literally "bacon belt", wealthy exurbs) are even more expensive (after rapidly getting cheaper after 40-50km out from the city, but 2 hour commutes one way are very hard to sell at German salaries). Plus there's insufficient transport for getting the masses into the city already. Moving people more outwards won't work because these issues may get addressed after 10s of years.
Are you sure about how this metric is defined? The average age of cars in today's fleet is not the same thing as the expected lifespan of today's new car.

In a growing fleet, new purchases expand the fleet and necessarily lower the average age. On the other hand, if production falls below replacement rates, the average age of the fleet will increase. Couldn't such a change reflect changes in demographics (number of new drivers added to population) or habits (amount of car-based travel) as much as car durability?

Also, wouldn't such fleet metrics be influenced by the lumpy history of natural disasters like hurricanes flooding densely populated coastal regions?
Exactly, it was really good if you happened to live in an appropriate apartment already, but was an absolute nightmare if you wanted to move. The same will happen (to a much lesser extent) in Berlin now.

here's me addressing claims that nobody has challenged the Matas report:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilgour–Matas_report

> The report, based on circumstantial evidence, concluded that "there has been, and continues today to be, large-scale organ seizures from unwilling Falun Gong practitioners."[2] China has consistently denied the allegations.[3][4]

then

> The initial report received a mixed reception. In the US, a Congressional Research Service report by Thomas Lum stated that the Kilgour–Matas report relied largely on logical inference, without bringing forth new or independently obtained testimony; the credibility of much of the key evidence was said to be questionable.[5]
I think it is likely that this is backed by a substantial set of US political interests. People that want to experiment with UBI might want to see a Facebook sanctioned UBI.
This is basically any libertarians pipe dream.

On the other hand I think you are right. I expect any US based opposition to move swiftly. Regulations should probably be the least of their concern given how the US has treated entire Nation States trying to move away from US dollar denominated Oil trade. It will be interesting to see what the equivalent of a no-flight zone, arming militants and sending “advisors” will be.
Just add these two lines to the end (and unindent the entire file 2 spaces that were added for HN markup), and it should work with LaTeX, and then you can just make more instances of the `HeaderDateDesc` begin-end part, for each experience/degree:

Google doesn't need to move. They just need to expand elsewhere. Amazon is opening HQ2 because Seattle is "full", and there are lots of smart people elsewhere that they could employ. All the FAANGs should spread out more.
This is false. The wallet just reflects what's in the ledger, and the ledger is controlled by Facebook('s consortium). They can absolutely freeze any addresses they want.

Isn't this a transfer of power over the movement of money away from the government, and to a corporate consortium?

And they certainly will, in the name of preventing fraud and crime and terrorism.

Which will result in the US government using those accusations more.

PageRank, although deceptively simplistic now (much like the concept of gravity), was much more difficult to invent than to understand. Starting your own Google 20 years ago would have been out of reach of your everyday CS student at the time, even though PageRank is the only thing you would have to “invent” per se (and even though today it is simple enough of a concept to be taught in undergrad).

Today, starting a Google is even harder because of Google’s moat and the advancements such as the deep learning infrastructure used for ranking pages (which still can be replicated if you throw a few Stanford grads at the problem — they don’t even have to be budding Larry Pages in aptitude — but a working replica isn’t nearly enough to compete with Google’s foothold in the market).
As a short-term strategic move, sure. That's pragmatic.

But given a ceteris paribus comparison of the two, my question is what is inherently superior about the onsite position over the remote position?
