Even further offshore, Anacapa Island has a water tank disguised as a building to stop people from shooting at it from their boats. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WATER_TOWERS,_ANACAP...

I think you're confusing me with another user. I never made any strawman accusation at all.

The behavior of JAMA Editor-in-Chief Howard Bauchner is appalling and frightening. If he's so unwilling to deal with fraud in his publishing, what is he letting people get away with in his position as Vice Chairman of Pediatrics at Bos

There's actually something called "disparate impact" in Fair Housing that covers this. So if someone does something like that, especially intentionally, and it impacts a protected class, they can be sued and fined.

ProPublica really did an amazing job of sticking with this, considering that HUD knew what was happening and still dropped the investigation in 2016.

It's not really a protected class, but a case of redlining, which is, to quote wikipedia: "the systematic denial of various services to residents of specific, often racially associated, neighborhoods or communities"

Here in the US negligence is the biggest factor in accountability. In most cases if the driver wasn't negligent but the pedestrian was (by illegally jaywalking), then there's no criminal or civil consequences.

This prompted me to look up US pedestrian deaths. Some interesting numbers: "According to the GHSA report, 74 percent of pedestrian fatalities happen at night, and 72 percent of those killed were not crossing at intersections." &q

Could you clarify what you're looking for? I think I know what you mean, because current tourism review sites are awful.

Thanks for the petty insults, it's sadly typical for HNers like you these days. However, I am in California and really wish the government would do more. It's not facetious. I don't expect much from states like Alabama, but b

Something I find interesting is that so many states that are heavily democrat have such high income inequality. I've always hoped that states like Massachusetts, California and New York would do more to help the poor considering that t

It's amazing that a company that Paul Graham co-founded is getting into bed with an authoritarian government notorious for its human rights abuses. To succeed in China you can't go against the government. So is he going to be push

You mean Mercedes, the company that used slave laborers from camps to build vehicles and engines for the Nazis?

I'd bet a lot of money that Bezos could do actually do that. And if the SEC chairman doesn't know the law, why is the news asking him?

I've been backing up everything in my google account and preparing for something just like this. When I first started making sure my backup was complete I realized that I had sent gmail invites out to a few friends. Now I guess I have

Apparently the author(s) think that you're safe if people are breaking into your house and stealing your things as long as you're not getting bashed over the head. Such an odd way to look at it. I don't think a lot of people

The author of this article claims to have received an award for at least one published medical study, and I think someone should take a serious look at it. If he thinks that this methodology is okay in a study, I can't imagine what wou

Well, including data from China for only Tesla is a joke. That would be like saying "we couldn't find any deaths from Ebola in the United States, so we took the ones in Africa and added them in. Wow, look at how many deaths per ye

I keep hoping that FinCEN's investigations actually start leading to some prosecutions. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/business/real-estate-news/a...

FinCEN is doing that in the larger metropolitan areas but they aren't publishing the data. They've been looking into real estate money laundering in the US on a larger scale for the past couple of years.

There's not a single usable competitor to street view considering the coverage and quality. They got that imagery using money from non-maps revenue, while keeping Maps pricing artificially low for years, with the the practical effect o

When it comes to Google I just have a lot of issues with the company and didn't have my real login handy when an article about them came up a few days ago. From big issues, like hiring Eric Schmidt and frequent attempts at anti-compet

If your country has any kind of antitrust or competition regulator then please file a complaint against Google.

Please contact the US Department of Justice and let them know about how the price increase is affecting you in regards to Street View. They seemed to buy into my reasoning that Google has effectively made sure that they won't have any

My site was hit around 2010, so that's definitely not it. And they've been censoring adult content for longer than one year.

Does anyone know exactly when Google decided to become the pearl-clutching Tipper Gore of search engines? We had a similar problem a long time ago with Google and it seems like it hurt our page rank at the time. There was nothing legislativ
