That is not watch a poll watcher does.

How exactly would any party put a thumb on the scale?

There is a watcher from each party and an election worker.

The ballots are watched the entire way from opening an envelope/voting booth, counting, moving sealed and secured boxes of ballots, counting, to the end.
It's a romance story where everyone dies at the end.

What's the target demographic? Guys? No, too much romance. Girls? No, too SFX heavy and everyone dies.

I'm curious what the easier path to the moon was, and why they didn't take it.
"On the other hand, I sometimes get the impression (I am primarily viewing this as a teacher of elementary age pupils) that persons with talents in the sciences ARE ignored (at early school age) even though they will be valuable to business and society if they develop those talents as they grow up"

This I've seen quite a bit of. It's also why the Simpsons satirizes this on a regular basis; it's because it's now a cultural phenomenon. In most mainstream film and TV programming, scientists and engineers are portrayed as socially inept and unattractive idiot savants, and the heroes are typically portrayed as tough-as-nails buffoons.

This is because the producers are pandering to the stereotypes.

When people grow up with these sorts of stereotypes, it's not hard to see how they become self-perpetuating. By pandering to the stereotypes, the producers are effectively passing the stereotype of their parents on to their children when those children are in their most impressionable stage of development. Unless their parents take on the responsibility of educating them about how inane the stereotypes are, they become self-fulfilling prophecies... like most prophecies.
We've moved on from this basic debate between thinking and feeling.

Yes and no. Many people think that "men think, women feel" is absurd, so in that sense we've moved on. But on the other hand, right in this thread, there are comments by people insisting that it is true, so in that sense, we haven't moved on.

More to the point, human beings have all sorts of beliefs that they can't/won't admit to holding. That's the whole point of Implicit Association Tests: pretty much everyone who intellectually believes that racism (for example) is bunk will have a brain that makes racist associations. That is true today, even though we've moved beyond the notion that black people are inferior to white people. Those subconscious associations still exist, and they still affect how people behave, so it makes sense that we should occasionally discuss them openly.

PZ is living in the real world where real people have brains that make sexist associations even though those same people would never make equivalent sexist comments.

any battle for women in science was lost long before women med students had to put up with their misogynistic counterparts

Why is there only one battle? Can't there be multiple battles? I mean, making sure women get to med school is important, but if med school programs systematically shunt women to specialties they don't really enjoy so they end up dropping out of the field dissatisfied early on, that seems like the kind of problem that would make it harder to recruit women into med school to begin with....
Since when does philosophy only need to be self-consistent?

I don't think you know what philosophy is.
To further this point a bit, there is a difference between "gambling above their means yet within the realm of possibility", and "gambling so far above their means that clearly no one is using common sense". Gambling 100x your annual income feels like it belongs in the second category.

Many other industries have KYC regulations (of some kind), but it seems like the gambling industry is excluded.

Norvig's classic _Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years_ still holds up well here. http://www.norvig.com/21-days.html

Holy crap that was my exact reaction to reading that. It’s just like bash: 99% of the time it’s an innocent thing, until suddenly you source some script that redefines something, innocently thinking it shouldn’t be a problem. That’s how you get an rm -rf.
Not nearly as productive. That's why django is definitely a better choice for rapid prototyping. But if I'm working on a larger project that I'm hoping to maintain for years, up-front productivity usually takes a back seat to maintainability/scalability/extensibility. For those, I'd go with FastApi

I'd also like to see Android thrive (mainly to keep Apple from behaving badly) and you make a good point that Android is steadily moving into the mainstream. But it will be a challenge for Google to shake the impression that Android users are reluctant to buy apps.

> Is there any country on earth that has a NET inflow of immigrants from the United States, compared to the number of its own citizens who emigrate to the United States?

My guess is that the Vatican might qualify given the "low birth rate", and perhaps Monaco, although that one's just a hunch and I have no numbers.

Since someone took the trouble to downvote, I guess I need to spell it out (I thought it was quite obvious) that mine was more of an 'intellectual curiosity' sort of response to his question rather than a real data point.
Anyone have experience with the knockoff optibay adapters on ebay? They're cheap (~$10 to $25) - [edit: never mind, that's what he means by $20 brackets.]
Can you provide sources for this claim?
Let me see if I have this right:

You complain about the US not allowing high skilled immigrants in the first paragraph, but then you say you want to hire low skill mechanical turks at below minimum wage in your last paragraph.

You are upset that workers in the US will not work for Indian wages when they have US expenses. Furthermore, you imply that your wages are so low that people prefer the small unemployment benefits instead of working for you.
A possible solution would be to put "shortcut" where your folders in the Dropbox folder. Dropbox could then abstract that "shortcut". So, say on my desktop I create a shortcut to my mp3/ folder, I would see a "Mp3" shortcut on my iphone also. So, that fix the "What if multiple folders have the same name" problem since it's not about folders anymore but about shortcuts that need to have different names.

So, it's a simple solution that would make power user happy but still leave the easy install, easy comprehensibility, etc.

We studied this technique in the graduate-level observation class I took 30 years ago. It is not trivial for a lot of reasons, especially for modern wide-field telescopes with multiple satellites in the field of view at all times.
No one can.

The radical solution is to understand that everything is out there, data brokers have collected and will sell everything you do.

We need to start demanding transparency. That's it. The whole solution. No business should be permitted to have data secured. Period. Hold whatever's needed for immediate transaction purposes, everything else gets WIPED.

Credit bureaus have already exposed us all. Open their databases, no more secured storage allowed. They can dump their data or accept responsibility 100% for every field they hold onto.

Every other company can follow suit. Every government can follow suit. No more black ops, CIA, FSB, any intel security. No more separate government databases for each department or program, just one open cluster of everybody's info.

Screw corporate trade secrets and copyright and every other protection. Open every database and every server everywhere.

It'll take maybe a generation or two to adjust to the new reality, but when everybody has to have all their actions out in public, maybe everyone will start to realize that the world really is a different place.

Maybe enforcing radical honesty on everyone will help eliminate all the class distinctions, judgments, tribal bullshit when the 1%'s actions are as wide open visible as everybody elses.

Maybe data brokers wither and die when nothing is monetizable anymore.

Maybe the constant stream of corporate malfeasance goes away when all the records are there for everyone to see, all the time.

Maybe we actually start to recognize and treat the mental health issues that result in stalkers, abuse cases, stealing from the elderly, pedophilia, drug addiction, when all the dark web and every other facilitator is in the open.

Maybe a couple of decades down the line we'll have people who understand that their actions have consequences and every choice affects those around them and when lying is near impossible the whole damn planet will be more sane for it all.

Or I'm a nutcase, or too early for my time. Who can tell?
You can't control for other factors in an economy.

Every economic textbook will have a demand and supply graph, it's not hard to see what happens when you fix a price arbitrarily and shift the demand curve in that graph to simulate a higher demand. Demand and supply no longer meet -> shortage.
Thanks, I updated the title.

And 100% agree that right now everyone deserves an anxiety pass (I certainly need one!).
Tangentially, this crisis may accelerate transition from fossil fuels to renewables.

Reduced demand lowers both prices and cash flow. Many operators will no longer be able to service their debts. Resulting in bankruptcy.

Coal was already in a downward spiral.

Now that crude oil is down to $30, fracking is no longer viable.

IIRC, Shale was off the board at $60/barrel.

Etc.

Even more tangentially: I support keeping our current nuke power generation running as long as possible (to ease transition to renewables). Like coal's economics, nuke aren't doing well, and will need help just to keep running.
I believe this is more of a cat and mouse game.
They wanted some sort of backwards ccompatibility at the assembly language level, the idea being that 8008 assembly code could be fed to an 8080 assembler. Not sure how well that worked out in practice, but that would be a motivation for A remaining a language-level feature that refers to the 8 bit part.
Perhaps, but it also pours gasoline on the flame of skepticism, once the cat is out of the bag and there's proof that they have lied. I.e. those decisions don't exist in a vacuum, they require (and burn) trust built in the past and decrease trust in the future. At some point it ceases to work and only makes things worse.

Can you explain why motels/hotels were better? In NYC it seems like a roomshare on airbnb in one of the boroughs is way cheaper than any motel or hotel you could find but I could see it being different in cheaper / lower cost of living cities.
hot take: If the ICC doesn't have jurisdiction in the US, and the ICC is basically a foreign entity, why shouldn't they be treated the same as if the MPS[1] was "investigating" DoD officials? Should they get a free pass because most of the other western countries are part of it?

Fresh pasta is not better than dried pasta, just different. You can't get an al dente texture with fresh pasta, for example.
The requirement is that they are sortable, nothing about the numbers reflecting the actual order of proposals (inasmuch as uncommitted actions in a distributed system can be considered to be ordered). Concatenating system time and node number upholds this property: 4:01-A and 4:01-B produced by nodes A and B respectively are distinct and numerically sortable, and both in turn "predate" 4:13-C attempted later.
Of course!! , the idea is to accept entries from wherever and offer the opportunity to someone that is not a nomad yet to become one!
Wouldn't a better software analogy be they developed a full-blown, expensive app without questioning or testing the needs of the market?

True, but you are not necessarily representative of the market as a whole.

I do not think that is a fair comment, nor is it constructively phrased. These themes are equal in quality to loads of the ThemeForest templates. While not perfect, I am not sure they should have been rejected.

OP... a big gap in the ThemeForest market is decent admin templates, which are suitable for use in a SaaS app. There are some templates on there already, but they leave a lot to be desired. I think there is a lot of money to be made with themes that include:

* Landing page

* Signup/registration form

* Login form

* Standard admin template features (forms, tables, page layout examples etc)

At the moment my only option is trying to find two themes (for front and back end) that mesh reasonably well together.

Also, an "AskHN: What do you want in a web app theme" could throw up some useful info.
There is no "properties" setting for the Notification Area applet in Gnome (at least in version 2.32.0.2, which is what ships with Fedora 14), which is what the commenter you responded to said he was using.
Surely this would be the same situation faced by any number of small businesses at any point in history, just with different jargon (small specialised business is subsumed by big rich business that wants that specialisation).

You are basically saying you know better than someone from China and don't link any facts to back it up?
It will only going up. It's become the defacto cryptocurrency and by definition it will only have a set number of coins so the more people want it the more it will go up.

It's become very easy to buy it so know-how is no longer a barrier. It's also an international asset so anyone in the world can buy it. There are still a boat load of technical issues that need to be fixed but those will be fixed.

This does not mean that it can't collapse every so often but long term it's only going up.

Don't make it your main investment but buy a little on a regular basis. 10 yrs from now you will be happy you did.
It doesn't, it's not a silver bullet but it can help a lot. And my answer was based on my experience (with some variables similar to OP such as working alone on multiple web projects (unfinished), INTP/introvert etc).

> I don't see why preference not to be in the same room as a dog is better than preference to have a dog around.

I also don't see why it's "better" in some objective or universal sense. A "preference" is already a feeling that one thing is better than another, so it's weird to talk about one preference being better than another, at least without some overarching goal like maximizing equality or maximizing utility.
"After not being paid for almost two months, one employee pushed him on details about the bridge loan holdup..."

Hard to imagine why an employee would work for two months without getting a paycheck. A company missing payroll is generally a sign that its finances are so screwed up that they're not likely to recover. (Any responsible company would lay off employees that it couldn't afford to pay.) When that first paycheck fails to arrive, it's time to walk out the door and start looking for a new job (and file a wage theft complaint for the last unpaid paycheck).
This.
If investors are struggling to see the value of your product, it's because you haven't developed enough of a commercial pitch.

The technical aspects that matter (unlike other solutions to developing for multiple platforms, ours lets iOS developers write native iOS apps the way they normally would; our solution takes their code and makes it work on Android, the web and other tablets) really shouldn't be difficult to grasp anyone that's remotely serious about tech investment. They need to establish your product has a market and that you're capable of marking it work; technical benefits matter but implementation details are secondary.

They do need to know who will buy your product, why, what evidence of success of similar solutions exists and why yours will be better. They need to know you've implemented large parts already for paid client work, and the clients were impressed because none of the other dev shops they talked to could clone iPhone apps for Android that quickly or cheaply. They want to know you have an idea how you're actually going to sell this, and at what price to what sized market.

If that interests them, that's when you can have all the nice conversations about your innovative ways of using APIs and why this manual aspect of your current process can be automated; you might even find they've got a friendly techie to do that as part of the due diligence.
BTW, Swagger-codegen has [support for writing specs in YAML][1] too, if that's your thing.

My team makes uses generated Swagger API docs (via the swagger-play2 plugin), but to be honest the tooling around it is pretty half-assed. Having a machine-readable spec is a game changer, though.

The Kindle can't do things like that. Also in the case of the book I mentioned some of the endnotes are dozens of pages long. Those won't fit in a little animated bubble. Some of the endnotes also have their own footnotes.

While I don't normally believe in lying during a hiring process, a former boss once told me that the right way to answer the "how much do you make?" question is to say you're currently making what you want them to pay you, figuring that they'll tack a bit more on top of that.

I haven't decided if I'm open to lying like that or not, but I liked it.
I like apiDoc, too, and I spent a few days adding those comments to my code.

However, it's been months now, and the GitHub Sync section still says "temporarily disabled".

Is this feature really done? When can I use it?

I'm a bootstrapper and understand testing features by pretending they exist, but it's been a pretty long time...
I think the argument would be that with end-to-end encryption this is unnecessary, which is good because it's impossible.

There's a counter-argument that there is still useful metadata a server can glean from its users, but it's certainly minimised with a good protocol... like the Signal protocol.

To expand on this.

At first glance, we don't know what value Anne has. But marital status is a boolean value. Since marital status is boolean, it follows by the Law of the Excluded Middle that Anne is either {married | unmarried}. If we brute force the question by simulating each possible value that Anne can assume (and follow the implications), we arrive at the correct answer.

But imagine a case where we test for flavors of ice cream rather than marital status.

> Jack is looking at Anne, but Anne is looking at George. Jack has chocolate ice cream, but George has vanilla ice cream. Is a person with chocolate ice cream looking at an person with vanilla ice cream?

Can we correctly answer the new question? No, because Anne might have strawberry ice cream. A flavor isn't a boolean value!

Also consider that simulation (especially when exhausting every possibility) expends a lot of energy. Therefore, the default strategy is to use a heuristic. And the heuristic is chosen by pattern-matching the "feel" of the question. Unfortunately, the feel of the original question doesn't trigger a heuristic which takes into account the boolean nature of marital status. So rather than assign Anne a value of {married | unmarried}, we assign Anne a value of {null} and call it a day.
Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge Celerons and Pentiums use the same die as the corresponding Core i3s, but only the i3 supports AVX in the CPU and QuickSync in the GPU. AES instructions aren't available on the i3 but are present on the dual-core i5. Haswell no longer discriminates with QuickSync, and extends AES down to the i3s but still not the Celerons and Pentiums.

None of these features are unavailable due to being physically absent. They're just turned off. If Intel's microcode format and DRM were reverse engineered, some of the features could be turned back on.
