Thank you :)

This has come up so much. I'll be adding it, thanks!

Another thing is that it seems you are sampling with replacement. I placed a circle in a rural area (where I grew up) and in one round I got the same street for 3/5 of the selections (and there were 10+ streets within the radius).

ACAB and defund the police caused this. I have several friends who work in the area.

Tacoma is now being called Tacompton. It’s that bad.

People have called Tacoma Tacompton for a long time. Tacoma has come a long way over the last couple decades and is now one of the fastest moving real estate markets in the country.

For those who have never heard of the Hilltop shootout:

Can someone explain to me why this should be an entirely new company (subsidiary) rather than folding DeepMind's capabilities into Verily and Calico? Are these different groups siloed from one another within Google?

So they’re trying to kill it before it even gets off the ground.

If you're not a customer of a bank and you come to cash a check (that isn't drawn on that bank) then you are going to pay a fee (if they will even cash it). I assume check cashing businesses charge a similar fee.

It would be great in principle if the USPS could cash checks for free, but they are also taking on the risk of the check being bad.

Startup, WA

Gold Bar, WA

Skykomish, WA

At least from Apple Maps, they’ve all got a USPS but no bank.

Someone who knows the Sunday traffic on Highway 2, I assume.

This is a little sad. That was 1.5 million dollars of vested share for the price of $4050 + taxes.

I feel bad too. To me it seems like he was hurt by his firing and wanted to retain no connection to the company.
