Yes. There aren't any Y chromosomes available.

At least in that case you get the days paid out when you leave.

    If this bike was left on a bike
    rack outside a college dorm for
    a school year it would be
    perfectly fine

To be fair, it would probably be stolen.

    mixed Shimano/SRAM components

Is this an actual problem, or just something someone only would do if they were heavily trying to minimize cost?

In Chrome on Linux it reads "Opera Neon concept browser for Windows"

    all the people crowded there to see the grass (more or
    less) green, the water blue

These days it's the water that's green: http://www.nbcolympics.com/news/rio-officials-drain-green-wa...

    upside is capped at some fixed proportion of the income from the game

That's not usually what people mean by a capped upside. In a context like this I would take a "cap" to mean something like "your shares can't be worth more than 5x what you paid for them".

    your password manager's url comparison?

Better than manual url comparision! A surprising number of humans think things like www.goodcompany.evil.com are urls for "Good Company", and anyone can screw up and make mistakes checking urls (www.goodcomany.com).

Most of the people making these decisions are primarily concerned with cost and time and not pollution, so what determines whether this will be successful is primarily cost vs time.

    It's very hard to "fix" land use once the land is already "in use".

Relaxing zoning to allow people to expand or rebuild more densely on existing lots would go pretty far in high-demand areas.

They had already been doing it for a while by 2014. For example, I saw them doing it on my site in January 2012: https://www.jefftk.com/p/googlebot-running-javascript

(Disclosure: I work for Google, on unrelated stuff, though I didn't at the time I wrote that blog post.)

    It's utterly ridiculous that engineering and efficiency
    decisions are so deeply affected by whether or not the
    largest search engine will properly index your content.

There being more sites that can only be crawled and indexed well if you run js is probably good for Google relative to competitors. Anything that makes crawling the web harder increases the barrier to entry, making it harder for sites like DuckDuckGo to serve search results from their own crawl.

The standard way to do this is to store the data encrypted, and store the key in something modifiable. Then when there's a delete you scramble the key.

"We only considered couples who declared an anniversary date (as opposed to just changing their relationship status)"

Seems like a strange choice; most dating couples I know don't seem to set an anniversary date.

    I am the creator of https://comments.network/ which
    you are using on the bottom of the article, and it's
    the first time I spot it in the wild!

That's pretty cool! I made my own version of this a few years ago, and if anyone is interested it's open source: https://github.com/jeffkaufman/webscripts/blob/master/commen...

(Mine can also do facebook and google plus, though to do facebook it needs an API key.)

This isn't the US, but cell phones make M-Pesa possible, which is very positive: http://www.jefftk.com/suri2014.pdf http://www.jefftk.com/suri2016.pdf

My blog serves ~500k requests per month, mostly to bots. My pages generally have few external resources; with a typical CMS site this would be more like 5M requests.

(This is with ~15k pageviews-not-from-bots per month.)

"Can you pull that creative?" would mean basically the same thing, and is probably what someone would say. I included "ads for" to try and clarify that the actual things you're taking down are the ads.

Close buttons could work reliably

"That creative hasn't been performing well, regardless of channel."

"Our creative review process is taking too long."

"Can you pull all the ads for that creative?"

"How good the creative is matters a lot more than how you deliver it."

(I haven't worked in ads since 2012, though, so my memory of the jargon may be off.)

It looks like they're converting many of their articles from https://www.google.com/selfdrivingcar/reports/ to Medium?

Something could be corrupted and then that corrupted data could be synced to the cloud, trashing what you had there.

    you can always unplug it before sticking
    utensils in there

Not 'can', 'should'.

That seems straightforward enough that you could try it on your own?

    So he proposed setting up a new Facebook stock class.
    The new shares would automatically dilute the voting
    power of existing shareholders, because every share
    with voting power will split into three shares -- one
    that has power, and two that don't.

I think the argument is something like: people knew Zuckerberg would want to get money out of FB, so even though he currently had majority control they expected he would give it up soon. Introducing multiple stock classes allows him to sell stock while keeping majority control, so he's reducing other people's voting power relative to expectations, while technically everyone who had N votes before the split still has N votes after the split.

Zuckerberg is a couple years older than me and I knew what Netscape was then, so I'd be pretty surprised if he didn't.

(Though in 2004 we had already had Netscape -> Mozilla Suite -> Phoenix -> Firebird -> Firefox, so lots of names to keep straight.)

    In the late 60s and early 70s, US airliners were
    getting hijacked at a rate of once every week or two.
