There may be legal restrictions on how you're allowed to return ballots. My memory of the California ones is that you can either mail it, deliver it in person, or sign an extra form saying you're allowing another named person to deliver it in person, or something like that.

My local post office is from 1932 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United…
Even has a trompe-l'œil window on the side (my photo, February 2019).

And the record-breaking Atlantic hurricane season continues:
"Josephine is the earliest tenth tropical storm of record in the Atlantic, with the next earliest tenth storm being Tropical Storm Jose on August 22, 2005."

That statement about Servo seemed more true before Servo work shifted to focus on XR than after.
Though I still think there was plenty of interesting Gecko work done in Gecko -- probably depends on what you find interesting.

Yeah, that checks out based on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o… though there were six candidates even with Texas:
Texas (Garner, L. B. Johnson, Bentsen)
Nebraska (W. J. Bryan, C. W. Bryan)
South Dakota (McGovern)
Some trivia stuck in my head: @JoeBiden is campaigning to be:
- the second Catholic President (after Kennedy)
- the second President born in Pennsylvania (after Buchanan)
- the second Vice President to become President with a gap in time between the jobs (after Nixon)

Management everywhere has made a bunch of bad decisions. Some other companies have market and financial advantages that provide much more of a cushion to recover from those mistakes.

BTW, I just noticed the permission requested in bugzil.la/1620879 was granted, so that should be able to proceed if revised appropriately.

I think someone (but I forget who) told me that cable connections to my phone's USB-C jack were loose and not connecting well because there was lint etc. in the jack. I didn't believe it at the time, but it turns out they were right. So thanks, whoever it was.

If I use a broader definition, then some would change to:
N: Umferðarmiðstöðin BSÍ, Reykjavík, Iceland (an airport bus)
S: Invercargill Airport, Invercargill, New Zealand (an intercity bus)

If I restrict to a narrow definition of public transit:
N: Badebakken, Oslo, Norway
E: either Greenlane or Ellerslie station, Auckland, New Zealand
S: Kelburn cable car station, Wellington, NZ
W: University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada
A twist on that furtherest N, S, E, W you've been meme... the furtherest you've been using public transit (E/W determined by intl. date line).
Mine:
N: Copenhagen
S: Melbourne
E: Sydney (Brisbane if we count interstate trains)
W: Portland, OR

- I specifically said "should be" rather than "is".
- I wasn't referring to all combination of data, just this one specifically, which has a clear public purpose in its favor.
- The "amazing split" quoted above makes me question the strength of that prevailing consensus.

I think that's a reasonable thing Google should be able to do without additional consent.
And I think there should be limits on people's ability to block useful science that benefits society as a whole, in the name of privacy, without articulating the harm caused.

If it's that, given that it has that information with appropriate consent, it can't combine it to report to county health authorities its suspicions about restaurants that have food poisoning?

Which part do you consider the privacy violation?
If it's that Google needs better user consent to gather/store the information about search or location history, that's entirely reasonable. That's also not the "this" I was referring to.
