9% of American voters was all it took for Clinton and Trump to win the primaries.

The "public" debates are sponsored by a partisan non-profit that is controlled by the Democrats and Republicans. Ogliarchs do not like competition. Their tax-exempt status is being challenged in court but other lawsuits have been unsuccessful.

Polling requirements for other political parties are arbitrary 15%, but the media companies write the polls to exclude minor party candidates, and the major parties control the media.

Billions $USD are spent on political advertising and propaganda. The Citizens United case allows unlimited spending for political activities.

Congress does not have term limits, further consolidating power within the major parties.

Most Americans don't know or don't care that there are other options. In WA there are 7 candidates on the ballot. But in the left/right paradigm that the powers insure is the only public dialogue, there will always be a race to the middle. This explains why: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_voter_theorem

I'll be voting for Gary Johnson. Ignoring biased media accounts of him, he's one of the few honest candidates and his platform mostly aligns with my own. Being public about this has cost me some relationships this year. I've never seen the amount of negativity and belligerance on social media. The only good thing to come of it, is I finally deleted my Facebook account.

This election has brought out the worst in us, and we will get who we deserve on November 8th.
IMO, this is a very clear summary of major MOOCs available for us today.

Thanks, I remember seeing the autopilot pattern mentioned on Joyent's blog, but haven't seen that website. The lifecycle [0] looks remarkably similar to the build and deployment steps outlined in Distelli's manifest [1]. I use Distelli+Consul on Joyent so I suppose I've been doing the autopilot pattern without realizing it!

I know that much of Distelli's workflow comes from the founders' experience at AWS, so I wonder where the root of this pattern lies. Perhaps that would help unify these similar methods.

My critique of his actions starts and ends with this: If you're posting a bunch of trollbait just to see if your peers and students will react poorly, and then they do, and you get in trouble for it, good.
Call me crazy, but I feel like there has to be a full blown conspiracy between the two parties (not necessarily the individual candidates), to keep us fighting over petty social issues which have no bearing on the social order.

We fight over issues like gay marriage and abortion which make no difference to the establishment, while the cable companies strategically raise rates while reducing service and avoiding competition. The medical industry extorts us so the insurers' can get a 20% cut off a larger pie. Police departments around the nation use civil forfeiture to pay their bills and buy margarita machines.

As long as elections can be won on bullshit tired issues like abortion, we'll never see any political progress - and that's just how the robber barons want it.
I see, that makes sense. Let's say you implement verification as:

1. Hashing the incoming data

2. Decrypting an attached signature

3. Verifying the decrypted and calculated hash are the same

Even though Step 2 would involve RSA or ECC, wouldn't Step 1 be the most expensive part regardless?

You are dead wrong. Read the constitution. It is a simple document and freely available.
You're right. Cgroups could be added, but I didn't do it on purpose. One reason is that they're a pretty big topic and would deserve a post on their own. Another is that as far as security is concerned, I don't think they provide more restrictions than rlimits. (they do make process management easier though!)

For sharing compute resources - they're great. But apart from resource consumption, do you think they make any specific attack vector impossible, or harder? I couldn't come up with a specific example, but happy to learn otherwise!

Another interesting thing I cam across is [ThreeBalot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThreeBallot). It has some non-obvious but solvable issues with non-binary votes (essentially like your system).

A weakness I see in both your system and ThreeBalot, is the need to trust in some decision maker to act correctly. You need the poll worker to actually work randomly (and not have awesome memory), ThreeBalot needs a way to confirm ballots are entered correctly.

I think the biggest sticking point with your system is the random aspect. We are essentially introducing noise into the votes. The noise might be negligible, but it impacts people's perception massively. There is also the challenge issue, because you'd need some arbitrary cut-off on the probability of the noise being to large. After all, the chance is technically nonzero that all random votes went the same way, and only the random votes were counted.
Pluralsight looks pretty neat. I'm looking for a Ruby on Rails course and it looks like they have a bunch.

That starts getting into an interesting combination of laws..

A - While some stores say "we reserve the right to refuse service," that's been pretty soundly defeated in a number of lawsuits, part of which sparked the various "religious freedom" bills.

B - Alternatively, you can deny anyone access to your home for any reason. Just because a [black, white, gay, any religion] person knocks on your door, doesn't mean you have to let them in.

So when you rent your home via AirBnb, do you have the rights & responsibilities of a homeowner or of a business? Is there a threshold where it switches?
> without ever touching the arbitration issue

It's a strange world where Air B&B can use arbitration to shield themselves and then when this tactic is pointed out people say "no you can't talk about that, it muddies the waters". The arbitration is absolutely relevant.

Allowing to sue someone for discrimination for a service you are not owed in the first place is another brain dead idea of leftists. Capitalism is color blind. Someone else will offer the service if one discriminates.
Windows 10 has now started to update graphics card drivers for me despite the fact that I already have AMD's Radeon Settings software installed which notifies me about new drivers and allows me to install them when I want to.

Last week I was playing Shadow of Mordor when all of a sudden the game crashed with an error along the lines of "Graphics device was removed or disconnected". The reason for it was Windows 10 had decided to update while I was gaming and a new GPU driver was installed as part of the update.

Suffice it to say I finally cracked and looked up how to set up the group policy settings to ask me before updating. Luckily I'm using Windows 10 Pro and have this option.

I know a lot people used to give Windows Update a lot of flak in the pre-Windows 10 days, but I never really thought it was a problem (I always had it set to ask when to install updates) but Windows 10's update settings are downright user hostile.

I'm sorry, I'm using "native" in an unclear way (that should have been obvious to me). I don't mean it will help with native API integration (JavaScript can do that just fine), I mean as a replacement for machine code on both platforms. iOS of course uses machine code for everything, but on Android it's mostly whittled down to the minimum: things that Java can't do efficiently, or code that isn't Java. That's the role I hope WebAssembly can fill, but it still remains to be seen how usable their solutions for threads, SIMD, etc. are.

A good example is games. Some do manage to use Java, but it's mostly a hindrance; being able to compile languages with a C style ontology to a platform-independent and efficient VM would be very helpful here.
You see, if the putative discriminees were to go after the discriminators, it would likely result in a relatively small-money settlement. Much better to assert some bizarre form of group responsibility, to up the chances of a big score.

In other words, greed. That's all it is
Kind of funny to see this in contrast to their rolling out the "Community Commitment" ("you agree you won't discriminated based on ...") they recently rolled out and required of users:

iOS only recently became a pleasure to develop in with Swift, though the language is still in rapid development (read: constant updates with breaking changes). Android has and still is an absolute pain; I still don't think I've been able to successfully write an app that looks OK across device screens. Plus the whole fragment vs activity debacle. The whole process feels like a hack. Windows has always been a pleasure to develop in, but that's not where the users are at.

If you already do web dev, then learning service workers + local storage won't add much difficulty. Plus, they're excellent tools to add to your toolbelt that your future projects could benefit from. And you'd be encouraging Apple to step up the game with their IE- I mean Safari.

We came pretty close to that brink after not bothering to invest in our own engine development. Makes the quarterly reports look great though.
It would probably also help a lot if we split up voting issues over multiple much smaller elections so that people could actually discuss the issues without it all being overshadowed.

In California, for example, I'm supposed to cast votes for over 40 positions and issues this election between choices for the president, federal and state representatives of various sorts, local positions, and dozens upon dozens of propositions and measures. There are over 500 total pages in the official voter guides, and the mail-in ballot is supposedly so heavy this election that regular postage isn't enough! It's crazy!

During the primary, we had the first senatorial election without an incumbent in decades and damned near no one was talking about it! (Barbara Boxer is not running for re-election.) It was completely overshadowed by the presidential election. I don't know if it was because the voter guide was so over-packed with propositions or what, but they didn't even print the senatorial candidates' statements during the primary and I had to go online instead to see them!

And people wonder why this country is so fucked up...

AirBNB can block them from renting out to other people for that time period

Then this opens up a competitive hole where another, similar service will let you rent on their platform during that same period. Hosts will just use multiple services (if they don't already), just like drivers for Uber and Lyft do.

In other words, this wouldn't actually solve any discrimination issues, but it does keep it hidden and off AirBNB.

I was thinking about the Snapchat glasses, which I initially regarded as stupid. But when I considered the intimidation factor associated with video editing, it dawned on me that Snapchat's 10 second time constraint effectively forces users to shoot video that is super easy for the masses to edit, arrange, share and aggregate, and within a universally defined set of constraints. So I think snapchat glasses could be huge success. They have a simple, low tech solution for the 'editing video for presentation is hard' problem, which isn't an immediately obvious problem, but it's critical.

As a lifelong Republican I'm not. It's going to be a bitter fight as the GOP either decides to shed its alt-right folk or embrace them and the GOP is going to come out rough either way.

There's a definite divide between the moderate GOP and the new, hard right GOP that far surpasses the small, somewhat positive divide when the tea party movement came to be ca 2009.

it's easy enough to edit web fonts to include only necessary characters, but most EULAs won't allow for this. any font licensed under the SIL open font license is fine, though you may have to change the font's name if it has a reserved font name (check the license file). this makes a huge difference (fonts under 10k), but no one ever bothers to do it. not sure if inlining them as base64 in your CSS and serving with gzip would help much more.

a lot of the stuff that we do in font editors is going to start happening in-browser. variable fonts that use two masters (the thinnest and heaviest font weights) to interpolate all the other weights in-browser are an emerging standard that will get font sizes down[0]. you're essentially being sent two fonts over the wire that can generate quite a few more. font files are bloated in a number of ways. eventually we'll have a standard where diacritics like ¨´ etc can automatically be added to letters without the need for an entirely separate glyph. (å,a,á,ä, are currently separate, which is very expensive).

google, adobe, and other big players are hard at work on this stuff, and it won't be long. there are pain points now, for sure, but to me this isn't an argument in favor of system fonts. most of web design is typography design, and anyone who says otherwise probably hasn't been designing for the web very long.
