Consider that: - Most American households own their home. - Homeowners vote at substantially higher rates than renters. - Home equity is one of the largest components of American wealth (roughly equal with retirement accounts). Taken togeth

I've had many great internal transfers. You need to dig into their CLs, bugs, docs, and (yes) perf and have a couple of fit interviews first. You don't get that kind of signal from external candidates. With external hires though m

There are other mosquito population controls already in place though. Compared to dumping poison from planes I think this more targeted approach is an improvement.

If the mosquito population went to 1% for a couple of years, that seems like a remarkable success.

Thanks! I didn't realize that - definitely an improvement!

No I didn't know that. I actually find it frustrating that I paid full price for the one we have a couple of months ago and now it's apparently out of date.

I have an Apple TV and was able to get it setup using just an apple account. It has all worked well except two things: -The remote is inferior to the one that ships with roku. The touchpad you can get used to, but there are so few buttons a

The network virtualization scheme and likely many other parts of the stack need to change in order to support v6. It's not that there aren't investments in this area, it's just a non-trivial effort. Source: Worked in GCP netw

Accepting your stats here, but what about consequences other than death? A friend in their late 30s just had to relearn how to walk and was in a coma for weeks after getting COVID. Months later he still isn't able to work full time.

I find this part highly suspicious and it calls into question the motives of the "leaker" and wisdom of publishing this article. If someone wanted to discredit the vaccine finding some internal document around a process failure (e

The truth matters. It isn't that their concerns were railroaded or not heard. There were dozens of court cases, the justice department and state authorities investigated. When that turns up nothing, you can't just keep entertainin

Having a deeper understanding of how things work is important in knowing how to use even the high level constructs well. How do you choose between an ordered and unordered map? If you've implemented them even one time I bet you'll

Trotting out conspiracy theories and insinuations is rightfully not the business of mainstream news. And racial injustice is not something to sweep under the rug.

My understanding of reproducible builds seems to be different. I always thought of it as a way of ensuring people couldn't deploy edited code from their workstation. You would ask trusted system A build the code at a particular code-re

I voted by mail in Seattle for years and never had an issue or even heard of one. The ballot goes in a tamper-evident envelope, sealed within the mailing envelope. You also get online tracking to know your ballot was received and processed.

I have no idea if this has always been the case, but people seem to look at their house as a bank account. They defend it and try and raise prices by blocking new development, keeping residents deemed undesirable out, and enforcing a consis

Some balance needs to be struck. In addition to the virus being harmful to health, the mitigation measures in place to reduce spread are highly disruptive to society. I don't think we can wait until the risk is zero, after all the risk

Another factor is the current investment environment. Bonds and CDs have very low yields, equities are too risky to fully depend on in many cases, there's fear of inflation. People may instead be parking money in assets such as real es

I think an angle missed here is that the government is trying to fend off deflation through fiscal stimulus. Individuals and small businesses have a propensity to spend, which gives forward pressure to what was then a rapidly declining velo

HTTP2 has multiplexing implemented on top of TCP, which is not multiplexed. This means one stream can be delayed due to head-of-line blocking from another stream getting retransmits. Changing TCP to support this is complicated due to transp

Why is that laughable? If the company wants to be receptive to its critics isn't it reasonable for them to create such a role?

You're saying coronavirus mortality figures are fabricated by state and hospital personnel, adding it to death certificates when it was not the cause. What's led you to that conclusion?

You do realize that medical staff working in ICUs are often unable to get N95 masks, right? It doesn't matter what the regulations say if what they ask is impossible.

I don't understand why they ever had to be different. Can't you have a rich set of place information, and still have check-ins, mayorships, and all? I was an avid foursquare user when it first came out. Going to a place your frien
