It's elegant, conceptually simple, and it's just fun to hack. It has a regular syntax, which means that once you learn the syntax you never have to worry about it again. There's no operator precedence, so you don't have to worry about messing that up. It's relatively easy to read (although I've created my share of monstrosities, so it's possible to do so), and you also get the power of macros, which can help to repeat yourself less, and give you a lot of power, should you ever need it (I have hardly ever written a macro, and it's not the main draw, but it's there). It has the ability to add your own syntax, to an extent: You need raw strings, string interpolation, external representations of data, or a more concise syntax for functions? You're covered.

I don't seem to understand how externally small voter fraud can change the election results. Is there a chance that voters fraud can happen, absolutely yes. Also votes can go both ways its not like only democrats can commit voters fraud, republican can also do that same thing. Overall this should net each other out or even reduce the effect of fraud.
Given that the previous comment is referring to state actors, you have the courts to defeat the 5$ wrench.

For more direct criminal elements, you can make it difficult enough that its not worth them going through the effort to use the 5$ wrench and wait while you have to fetch the key. Beyond that, you're no worse off than you were versus carrying cash. The only thing electronic cards might have advantage over this is many provide fraud protection which will refund/void fraudulent charges.
Presumably, that would fail "Screen resolution beyond that of my eyes". I think that they're saying that the screen matters, but that FHD/QHD isn't a requirement. Of course, I'm looking through the lens of what I'd like in a phone.

They seem to like waterproofing and wireless charging as well, and at least the charging isn't usually available on the old candy-bar phones.

Personally, I'd love something like a flagship-style phone, but with a 4.5" 720P screen. For the most part, such a beast doesn't exist, and the next question is "what can I compromise on to find a phone that actually exists?" The comment you responded to seems like they're trying to answer the same question and coming up with "null set". It's a frustrating situation to be in, when the market moves away from building the tool you'd like.
I like the idea. There's some funding waiting for that innovation
It depends on what you mean by 'the $5 wrench', but anonymous cryptocurrency would allow the victim to deny or misstate their account balance. It would not protect a victim being slowly tortured to death (a situation for which I cannot imagine a protection), but would protect the victim in situations where the attacker had limited means.

Not to pick on you specifically but, for a lot of people, bring less stuff. I don't use a roll-a-board for carry-on.

I rarely find I need to check luggage unless I'm doing activities that require sporting gear etc.
Why is the focus on "trying to disprove" the election is rigged? Just because Trump says it, that means it's not true? Or what's the logic behind this trend? The media's job should be to focus on proving whether the elections can be rigged or not - especially if there is suspicion that they could be rigged. It shouldn't be to try to disprove it by default. The angle they choose matters a lot.

If anything, calls for in-depth election process audits should've come at least a decade ago. The U.S. isn't doing so hot in terms of election integrity (and no, Russians have nothing to do with it, either):

how do you feel about Vim plugins for external code editors (particularly, I'm thinking VS Code)? I somehow end up developing on new Windows machines all the time, and getting all the Unix emulation tools just so I can use Vim seems a bit over the top. Are there any enormous advantages to using Vim vs. a Vim emulator?
Every coder should take the time to find the keyboard that suits their body best once funds allow it. I can't imagine doing serious (development) work on a laptop for more than an hour or so without a decent keyboard (currently using a DasKeyboard with Cherry switches), a well-positioned monitor, and a good mouse (a left-handed Razor Deathadder now).

Still I see a lot of developers just pop open their laptop on a desk and work like that for the rest of the day…
"Serverless" ? how do players connect with each others? I bet it isn't serverless at all. When will developers stop using these buzzwords that are effectively lies, from a strict technical point? There was no need to shove "serveless" anywhere in that title.
It's rather ironic that many of the most famous people in the VC industry actually publish their email addresses [1], and then those same people will refuse any deal that comes to them this way. It's almost as if these addresses are there to perpetuate the myth that Silicon Valley is open to all comers as long as they've made something great, when the reality is that it's only open to a tiny sliver of entrepreneurs with great networking skills and/or those that are Stanford students/alumni.

"Filesystem as the API" in this case looks more like "convention over configuration" (which has worked fine for other frameworks like Rails), it doesn't actually seem to be using the filesystem as the only storage backend.

Per wikipedia the Concorde and 707 are vaguely similar size and the Concorde successfully pulled off 15 passenger miles/gallon and the 707 got about 30 passenger miles/gallon around the same time.

Now JetA isn't service station gas so its slightly unfair to compare the 15 pMPG of a Concorde to a 12 MPG single passenger pickup truck. But it does give you a general idea that everything being equal (size, technology level, risk?) the supersonic plane will burn about twice the carbon footprint of a similar subsonic plane.

Note that with a full modern subsonic plane its quite easy to get a carbon footprint staggeringly better than a single driver in an obese modern SUV or truck. The problem is if you're fair and let the aircraft people use any thing they want such as 2016 technology and engineering, you have to let the car people use any thing they want, and my wife's Prius is trivially capable of providing reasonable comfort at 300 passenger miles per gallon.

Supposedly the largest 777 model does better than 70 pMPG per my commercial pilot buddy (who teased me quite a bit about my wife's Prius only getting 60 pMPG when there's only one passenger, so he burns less gas flying than she does driving). So everything being equal if stereotypical subsonic planes have roughly doubled in pMPG then its not ridiculous to expect over 30 pMPG on a modern supersonic plane. My Yaris commuter car struggles to get 30 pMPG with a single passenger (me) so to a first approximation a modern supersonic aircraft damages the environment about as much as driving alone in my subcompact commuter car. Not great, not awful. Eh.

Obviously my car's performance in transatlantic and transpacific service is somewhat inferior to the performance of the proposed plane.

Multisignature wallets mean that you can beat the credentials out of a person and still not be able to access the coins. You would have to figure out who else had keys and beat then too. Raising the difficulty a non-trivial level.
> Also votes can go both ways its not like only democrats can commit voters fraud, republican can also do that same thing. Overall this should net each other out or even reduce the effect of fraud.

The fact both can do it says nothing about whether or not their efforts to commit voter fraud would be equal. It makes no sense to assume number of fraudulent votes from either side would offset.
Seems like the place to sell something like this would be through the car dealers, rather than direct to consumers. $799 seems like a lot when you're paying for it up front, but it'd be a much less daunting "just $X more per monthly payment!" number when it's just one more thing getting rolled into the already-large amount you're financing...
> You're going to get blasted by 100 degree heat, power-wafted by smells of the most amazing street food one minute and an open sewer the next, assaulted with music from a thousand bars, and crammed into a tiny room overlooking it all with a fan that doesn't work.

To each his/her own I guess but that doesn't sound appealing at all.
I think it'd be pretty tough to get a plane's worth of bags from the hold to anything resembling an orderly display within 120 seconds of the first person getting off the flight. Let's assume that the collection location needs to be at least twice the wingspan of the plane. That's 400 feet for a 787, or 140 feet for a 737. There's a benefit to consistency at a given site, so let's stick with the 400-foot number. That's 90 seconds right there at typical walking speed (3 mph). So, to meet the SLA, we'd probably need to open up the entire hold, length-wise, rather than pulling out bags from one or two doors. I'm not an aeronautical engineer, but designing a door into the length of the fuselage seems like it could be on the same order of complexity as designing a plane for supersonic travel.
Google Joins Internet2 to Better Serve Universities
How would a county realistically go about verifying voter receipts? Have everyone bring theirs in to be counted by...someone? The entire system is based upon trust and not easily verifiable by a single voter working alone, so in any of the solutions I've seen, it's impossible to independently verify the results of any counts.
Not familiar with Zcash specifically, but it should work the same as Bitcoin. You cannot initiate a transaction without the (password protected) private key of the wallet containing BTC. If the victim of civil forfeiture refuses to provide the password and private key there is nothing that can be done to acquire the money. This is good because it changes the game from the "government takes your money and you have to sue to get it back" to "government has to prosecute to get your money in the first place".

It doesn't prevent some vague yet menacing government agent from breaking your kneecaps in order to get the password, but no security system has been able to plug that hole yet.
"new and shiny is what clients want, boring and dependable is what owners want"

excellent summary.
Great artists steal!
I don't know ... to my ear, Bitcoin sounds petty -- the "bit" and "oi" pieces are diminutive.

ZCash seems relatively neutral to me, not evoking positive or negative feelings.

ZeroCash (from which it comes) is somehwat negative, since it evokes "no more money".
And the flaw was how comments have gone downhill.

But really, what is the internet's flaw? No live human body present?
>Trump won't have trouble finding support for his claim of a "rigged" election

Trump won't have trouble with getting away saying that this election is rigged because we know it is.

Anyone with a bit of a CS background knows that electronic voting machines is a stupid idea, that was bound to be implemented by either corrupt or crappy consulting firms.

They provide literally no value over conventional vote counting, this is a textbook case of "better is good's enemy". I personally don't feel comfortable casting my vote in a literal black box.

edit: I have no problem with a rain fire of downvotes, but perhaps you can take a little time to oppose actual arguments.
As a lisp user, I would argue that infix syntax, while it appears simpler, puts a lot of cognitive load on the reader that lispers don't have to worry about. In an infix syntax, you have to worry about getting the syntax right, avoiding syntactic ambiguity, and making sure your precedence order is correct. In languages like C++ or Haskell, this can get very complicated.

Think of it this way: infix syntax is just another form of DWIM. The computer is trying to act like it thinks the way you do. However, it doesn't, and because it's pretending to, bugs happen. Lisp doesn't pretend, and this helps to avoid bugs.

Testing is done manually by the requester right now. Basically they'll copy and paste the functions into their code to test the proposed solutions. I'd like to add automated testing, but that is a little ways down the road still.

But we're not talking about a mis-evaluation of facts or insufficient data to form a proper conclusion. The core belief here is along the lines of "data should not be constrained, and my access and usage of data is nobody's business but mine".

People say things like, "all software should be free" but continue to pay the bills by working for a non-free company. They say, "I think DRM is wrong" but many will still buy DRM'd content when they want it badly enough.

Coming across someone who holds a firm, clearly defined belief (again, regardless of whether I agree with the belief - that's not related to the point I'm trying to make) and who also adheres to that belief in all aspects of life - that's the refreshing thing.

I agree. You can sort of get away with abusing your body until you can't, and a lot of people ignore small pain and discomfort in favor of convenience. I know too many devs who have had their productivity seriously inhibited by RSI pain.

I've also switched from the "magic trackpad" to a trackball. I lose a few of those fun gestures, but the rotation on my wrist from swiping on a pad was doing me no favors, and now I genuinely prefer a trackball to anything else for "work" activities.

I'm in Montreal, Canada, and could probably get a warm intro to Silicon Valley investors.

I grew up in a small Canadian province, and my parents were middle class public servants. That's more privilege than some have, but it's hardly Ivy League and prep schools.

I made connections by starting a business in Montreal and talking to other entrepreneurs. Eventually I met some who are 1-2 degrees away from Silicon Valley.

I don't need investment for the work I do, but if I did I could try harder with my current network and make closer connections.

There were zero entrepreneurs in my family. Though, one thing I'll grant is that Silicon Valley is probably a bad place to try things and meet people for a few years. Too expensive. Montreal is cheap.

As a Wikipedia editor, I think this can mostly be attested to the site's policy on maintaining a neutral point of view. [0] Over time you learn to watch out for certain words [1] and you can sniff out things that were copied verbatim or written in a improper tone. In terms of discussions, personal attacks are discouraged [2] and there's a strong focus on providing reliable sources, [3] so discussion often shifts to discussing those instead. Off-topic discussion is also commonly removed [4] and there are avenues for dispute resolution. [5] Of course you'll still find plenty of heated disputes and some biased articles, but the project is a work in progress after all. I think the most important factor is that there are people of different viewpoints willing to work together to integrate them in a way to best give weight to them rather than creating content forks. (this is why conservapedia is doing so bad) [6] You can't fix bias by creating an echo chamber or pretending it isn't there, but rather by keeping an open mind and welcoming those who think differently.
