I got the letters that my voter registration was going to be purged, but I left Ohio like 7 years ago at that point and hadn't voted since I left. I had actually looked into de-registering way back when but it required filling out a fo

The elite programs have higher bars to entry so they generally are selecting people who seem to have potential (already smart, already personable, promising early career). Most of these people would end up being successful anyways, but the

Foxconn still runs the Apple factories in Brazil and India for Apple, so it might not be that bad for them. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/hardware/foxconn-i... https://www.cultofmac.com&#x2F

Even as a pseudonym, it's so specific that I'm sure that a lot of people at Snap and around the area probably know who it is. I mean taking months to work remotely in Florida is something I would totally hear second hand about so

I agree that a lot of the issues are with the dryer. So many expensive clothes and textiles are rack dry or hand wash only, that it's kind of unfair to compare something cheap that you treat roughly versus something expensive you trea

GoodRx is partnered with PBMs which is why the pharmacies accept discount programs like that, because it's contractually required if they want to work with that PBM on other plans. https://www.drugchannels.net/2017&#x2F

I think it depends who you're getting from those companies. We've seen a lot of Googlers standing up and publicly denouncing the company's practices. I suspect a lot of people would be inclined to regulate the crap out of t

I've seen some people asking for boosts on facebook, and my circle isn't even that tech heavy. So people are gaming it, but it's hard to say how effective they are.

In the four years at my current company we went full cubes -> half cubes (you get like 2-3 regular walls and one baby wall) -> open office -> open office no assigned desks. I can't wait to see the next iteration on this.

Wikipedia is a great example. They have to go begging the world every few months to keep the greatest website in the world operating. HN (and dang's job) is funded by the excess of YCombinator, and the rest of us just show up to ch

People will make content as a hobby, but you won't see people doing it on the level (frequency or quality) they have been today. Internet likes and shares are nice but if they won't pay the bills, and a lot of creators will priori

I think a lot of people are missing the point that Amazon controls so much market share now that actions that aren't anti-competitive if you have 1% market share are when you control 50%+.

NPR only tracked 80 items. Walmart has giant analytic teams who determine pricing changes based on demand elasticity, profitability, and other things so there will be a lot of noise when you see price changes to determine the cause.

I love using d3 to make visualizations, the only bad thing about it is that so many demos and tutorials seem to have been made on v3 which requires some minor adjustments to get the same code working on v4+.
