For what it's worth, landlords in Texas have to "maintain written [tenant] selection criteria"[1] and inform you of them when asked. This is supposed to be noted and underlined on rental applications.

What the statute says[1] is "the intent to kill, injure, harass, intimidate, OR place under surveillance with intent to kill, injure, harass, or intimidate another person."

The affidavit in the complaint does say "AND" but maybe that's just a calculated legal ploy, where they can still fall back on the "OR" of the actual statute?

If the algorithms don't catch them, they'll eventually attract the attention of a human Google reviewer, at which point they'll be assessed a manual penalty that will show up in the Search Console: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2604824?hl=en

The author is absolutely right. You're browning your onions, not caramelizing them.

Yeah, they're having some real troubles right now with SXSW crowds: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-03-12/upstart-r...

This is their first go at this especially crazy rodeo, though.

It's seems to be meant as a supplement to the author's much longer piece "A Fight to Fix Geometry’s Foundations"[1] that was published the same day.

That article links to this one in a sidebar.

The New Yorker did a Reporter at Large on it last month: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/01/02/a-bigger-proble...

Sounds like many are still worried about it, but there's really no consensus.

Maybe if there was a little more encouragement of non-paywalled submissions, where possible?

Here's a Bloomberg article that seems to cover mostly the same ground as this WSJ piece, for example: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-11-22/pilot-str...

Sometimes the WSJ or NYT or whoever just has something to offer that others do not. In many cases, though, it seems like there's other paywall-free reporting that could work basically as well.

Looks like they're up around 25% overall, just comparing these two catalog filters that (mostly) exclude DLC:

2644 games for Linux, and 10750 results for Windows. There's a good deal of high-profile stuff, but Linux support definitely does skew toward the indie side of things.

Yeah, we had one of the latter kind get taken down here in Austin last year: http://keyetv.com/news/local/austin-police-arrest-man-connec...

Connected to 97 thefts of bikes valued from $1k to $12k, including taking only "the most expensive one" of the several owned by the fella interviewed in that story.

Although he really was exploiting a weakness, in that people figured their bikes would be safe in their closed-up garages. I wonder if a good lock would have been enough to make him move on to the next target on his list.

> The 5-cent fee will be collected through the end of 2021. Then the taxi subsidy will disappear and the 20 cents will be split by localities and the state for five years. The whole fee will go away at the end of 2026.

And that's all it is?

Because this guy is obviously not a click-farm customer, and Facebook is presumably not paying them to click, either. They're just spam clicking the "boosted" posts Facebook puts in front of them to seem more legitimate?

Here's a Texas Tribune article from today detailing other Austin ridesharing developments in the wake of the Uber/Lyft withdrawal: https://www.texastribune.org/2016/06/07/austin-post-prop-1/

An understandably naïve view of things whose errancy could easily be corrected through your coöperative perusal of The New Yorker.

No, all signatures were gathered in person.

It should if you clear your wsj.com cookies.

It looks like they just pushed some of the photos further forward in the text and corrected a small omission ("give it a man who was very familiar" to "give it to a man...").

Here's the most recent Wayback Machine snapshot, for comparison: https://web.archive.org/web/20160106214937/http://www.npr.or...

Yeah, that's how I read it. And that last bit seemed so shoehorned on there that it almost seemed like it was an effort to give the story some kind of hook that the author or an editor might have thought it lacked.

If this court can throw out a settled, century-plus-old understanding of the Second Amendment, then another one can certainly restore it.

Medical debts show up on your credit report just like any others once they go into collection.

The newest version of the FICO credit score[1] does differentiate between medical and non-medical debts, though, where previous ones did not, and it weights the former less severely.

>Great example of innovation from Vice. If only those starchy ol' newspapers could have thought of something like a 'letters to the editor' section... What? Oh.

The very first sentence of the Vice post:

>As a kid, whenever I'd get some BMX or car magazine in the mail, I'd always dive in first to the letters to the editor.

> But still, there are failure modes and unintended consequence opportunities that should at least be thought about a bit, even if a very little bit.

I think it's highly likely that the people responsible for these projects will realize this. Do you disagree?

The "Mi-Light" brand stuff you can find on Aliexpress and eBay is inexpensive (like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221527712289 ). No idea as to the quality, though.
