I didn't say "isn't a problem." I said "isn't a particularly big problem." In an electorate where millions of people vote every year, a few thousand votes in a non-swing state (using the example you mentioned), or even a few thousand fake votes in every state, is just not that high a rate of fraud.

There is rhetoric now as though most or all voting is subject to this kind of fraud, that the fraud is massive. It just isn't. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist or shouldn't be stopped, but threats must be dealt with proportionally to the degree that they are threatening. Your reaction strikes me as disproportional.

Not to diminish whats being done but it does feel like a band aid solution. This is such an important issue. I currently live in London, UK and loneliness is a big problem here. My parents were from India and it doesn't seem as bad there but may be I'm only seeing through my own lens and it is actually a problem there as well. I think the problems stem from a combination of culture, modern life style and tech.
I totally agree with this, and use `:syntax off`, but comments really mess with visual clarity. For dimmed comments, I sometimes switch to nofrils.

I have no idea what you're talking about and suspect you've brought some baggage into the conversation. It's instructive that you think iphones are in some way relevant to the argument.
Unlikely. Population is declining precipitously. The rate of reproduction has plummeted in Japan. There aren't nearly as many young people as there used to be. Why would they want to stay in a declining country rather than go to places where conformity is not prized, being an entrepreneur is prized, and there is a growing market?

On my case that would be the path to be fired.

In none of the companies I worked for, doing that would work without going though legal and all the necessary layers to green light it.
I found most of syntax highlighting easy distracting. But I couldn't turn it off completely as it felt weird. What I did is I modified theme who's colors I loved the most, so that it highlights less things, so that only some keywords would be highlighted like (break, return, for, if, etc). That way it helped me as screen didn't look to colorful, distracting and it didn't strain my eyes as before, but still providing some necessary information that pops out, to help me see the structure of my code better. But that is just me. I think I am not yet ready to give up syntax highlighting completely, but who knows, maybe one day. I am surely making progress towards that.
They're in the article, and the original post is linked at the end.
The UX studies show must voters can't or don't actually verify their votes.

What guarantees the vote cast matches the vote printed?

I've attended my jurisdiction's VAT (verification and accuracy tests). When the card or paper strip was unreadable, they just swapped parts until it worked. So the only thing verified was the printer was still working.

Why do they call this a merger instead of an acquisition?

I assume merger means two companies merging into a new third company, versus acquisition being a larger company acquiring a smaller company into a new business unit of the parent company.

On crash reporting, I just submitted https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12883823 about a privacy-related feature invented in 2011.
I used to think that this was a good way to cope with unhappiness that I experienced. I would tell myself, "At least I'm not starving to death" or, "At least I don't feel like killing myself this morning." I would feel better at first, but it didn't change the fact that I would still get the same negative feelings again. It became frustrating that this tactic lost its effectiveness over time.

While on one hand it trivializes what it actually means to go through starvation, or having suicidal thoughts, or what it's like to actually be a slave, I think it also trivializes your own feelings as well.

Like the article points out, this mentality suppresses your feelings. "Oh, I'm not allowed to feel this way. Look at all the wealth and happiness I am surrounded with and non-extreme situations I don't have to face!"

Admitting my feelings and writing them down in my journal in the heat of the moment, no matter how pathetic they made me seem, gave me a chance to reflect on what I had written. It gave me a snapshot to come back to later and say "Is this really what I am like? Have I exaggerated or downplayed my emotions?"

And from there, I was able to come to two types of conclusions:

1) Accept that sometimes for a given situation I would feel blue no matter what. Something I realized after 8 years of heartbreak, things not working out, or rejection in dating is that while I got better at being functional, the pain itself never dulled. And what a relief! I kept expecting that it would somehow hurt less after all these years, but that's just not how it turned out. And I feel so much better now with that in mind.

2) I can decide to act on the problem. I can act and succeed, or act and fail. And after enough failures, sometimes it's OK to give up for the time being and work on other types of dissatisfaction.

I think the article did a great job of succinctly describing a process I have gone through myself for several years. I highly recommend it.
Not defending the USA's crazy elections, but our ballots are often a great deal more complicated. My jurisdiction regularly has 30 items (races, referendum, initiatives, etc) spanning federal, state, county, and local stuff.

If you're looking for another way to scratch that itch, look into Netrunner. The game and the culture are both fun and creative, and it's possible to build competitive decks for about a hundred bucks (as an LCG, all cards come as full playsets, so you know exactly what you're getting).

It's more fun in person, but there's also a free community-made site where you can play online, and most players are happy to teach: http://jinteki.net
Would be great to see some meaningful example where these principles clearly improved the conversation, be it in terms of time, conclusion, compromise or what have you. I've got this feeling that it's one of these things that cause a threaded discussion to be misinterpreted by outsiders in terms of predictability.
Time zones and, worse, leap seconds interfere and needlessly complicate recorded time--the ability to compare two times and compute the time interval between them. Anyone who has tried to geophysical data from diverse locations and organizations knows how difficult that is.

Now would be a good time to adopt this change since the way standard units (mass, length, time, etc.) are being redefined.

Thank you for such a detailed commentary.

- Yes, there is such thing: console opens on a modal, but it would not be changed in the nearest future in Cloud Commander, anyways console(https://github.com/cloudcmd/console) could be used independently to build a fork from cloudcmd dependencies which are mostly located on npm. I can help with it but I have no time to do it myself. It is a good idea about picking file names or paths (Ctrl+Enter, Ctrl+[, Ctrl+]). Actually you already can paste path to current directory with Ctrl + P, but using this hotkeys would be more convenient.

- You right about menu. It is a simplest possible component https://github.com/coderaiser/menu-io, anyways it could be improved, pull requests are welcome.

- Num+ and Num- and Alt+Left/Right fixed in v5.7.6 (https://github.com/coderaiser/cloudcmd/releases/tag/v5.7.6)

- I can not reproduce Page↑/Page↓ bug, maybe it is related to screen size? What screen resolution do you have?

- I'll think about dead key, looks like it should be handled separately.

- It is strange, I can't reproduce feedback button bug either. What browser and OS do you have? Could you look at Network Panel and Console of Developer Tools of your browser? Is there something red?
> I think logicallee's point is that any answer other than a clear "yes" would require the assumption that there is something fundamentally "unknowable" about the problem, and generally such objections are considered unscientific. Unscientific doesn't mean wrong, of course, but it does weaken the case.

My take on it is that anything other than a "we really don't know right now, being able to reason about this question is far beyond our current scientific models" requires a burden of proof that I have not seen matched anywhere (either in logicallee's posts, or in the writings of other "computable consciousness"-ists (don't know if there is a better word for them)). Testable, verifiable models would be what this particular burden of proof calls for for me to be satisfied with a clear "yes" or "no".

> Can we replace an individual neuron in a human brain with an electronic equivalent without affecting the perception of pain? The argument is that if one can, what's to prevent replacing all the other neurons in succession? Are certain neurons special and unreplaceable? Again, it's difficult to see that there could be any clear line between "pain" and "no pain".

Well, you can easily turn this around - can we remove an individual neuron in a human brain without affecting the perception of pain? We actually know the experimental answer to this one, and it is a resounding yes - in fact, a few of your neurons probably have naturally died since you started reading my post, and your perception of pain (or anything else) most likely hasn't changed. And there are medical cases of people losing significant brain mass and operating in society at a perfectly normal level.

This makes it quite hard to build a recursive argument around "if we can substitute one neuron with an electronic equivalent without changes, we can substitute all neurons with electronic equivalents without changes", because that argument would also work with "removing the neuron" instead of "replacing it with an electronic one" (and in fact, if removing a single neuron has no effect on the perception of pain, and replacing a neuron with an electronic one has no effect on the whole either, how does that help you in any way?).

The analogy with a bird's bones doesn't quite hold - there are specific bones that we can remove that will completely prevent a bird from flying, and others that will have no effect; modern science gives us a pretty good idea of how a bird's various bones fit in the "enabling flight" hierarchy. This clear and well defined "hierarchy of bones for flying" does not seem to be present in neurons.

We might yet establish a clear, systemic hierarchy of neurons one day that lets us explain consciousness rigorously, the same way that we can explain how the different bones and muscles of a bird let it fly! But we are far from it, and there is no certainty about the feasibility of such an endeavor.
I am interested in getting a more secure footing on the front-end side of things. Can anyone recommend other ES5 front-end code bases like this that are easy to study without encountering build tools, endless dependencies, ES6 features and so on? Particularly that use a declarative approach.
No thanks.

The last time I could bare not using syntax highlighting I was still on MS-DOS.

Since Turbo Pascal 7 (released in 1992), syntax highlighting is a must have on my programming environment.

But I understand when we are talking about vim, people prefer an hardcore experience.

Always reminds me of,

Caesar went to serve his quaestorship in Spain ... in the spring or early summer of 69 BC . While there, he is said to have encountered a statue of Alexander the Great, and realised with dissatisfaction that he was now at an age (31) when Alexander had the world at his feet, while he had achieved comparatively little.
It's a pay-to-be-competitive game. Nobody is spending absurd amounts of cash for a deck and expecting to win a competitive event strictly because of it.

I play EDH/commander. There a $50 budget deck can readily beat a $2000 deck. I have won and lost on both sides of that equation.

EDH started as a community driven format with no official support. The community decided that your deck must be exactly 100 cards with no duplicates except basic land. This slows the came down and forces more board interaction.

On top of that 1 of your hundred cards must be a Legendary creature. Everything in your deck can be of a color from that creature and you will always have access to that creature throughout the game. This constrains deck construction and makes it really hard to splash a color for one $50 that would be perfect. Always having access to commander is a comfort to new players and opens new strategies to veterans.

To further combat this I have a pool of 30 or decks that I build with my friends and we play mostly from this pool. No paying to win if we are paying together.

As I recall, "Crocker's rules" originated in an email Lee Daniel Crocker posted on the old Extropians mailing list in the 1990s. He simply declared in an email, during some contentious or heated discussion (as was the norm for that list), that he wanted people to communicate with him without any regard for whether they might offend him, valuing bluntness, honesty, and authenticity over social nicety, pleasantness, and diplomatic protocol.

The rules were never a formalized thing. A person that declares Crocker's rules is basically saying that they (1) want people to not filter their communication with them in any way for the sake of pleasantness and (2) take full responsibility for and ownership of their reaction to that unfiltered communication.

(The article references a source on the SL4 mailing list, but that is not the origin. SL4 post-dates Crocker's Rules, and the people that moderated and ran SL4 were all on the old Extropians mailing list.)

> If Alice shares her contacts with Bob, she may discover some contacts she has in common with Bob, but not necessarily which ones are Signal users. Perhaps Bob has talked to Charlie some time in the past using Signal, but perhaps not.

The contacts which would be shared would be Signal contacts, identified by some public identifier like their phone number (which is the only public identifier Signal currently supports; it could easily be extended to support other identifiers though).

Yes, it won't reveal to Alice that her friend Etta is also using Signal, if Etta and Alice don't have anyone in common. That's part of the privacy-preserving feature which prevents Signal from knowing who's using it, and whom everyone knows.

Given the small-world phenomenon, the odds are that one will very quickly add most folks one knows about, and the others can be added manually.

> So if we run this chatty, online, synchronous protocol

It's not chatty: the exchanges are large, in order to protect privacy, but they are also rare, and are not ongoing. Whenever you add a new contact, you re-initiate the protocol with your pre-existing contacts, that's all.

It's not online: as I indicated before all that's required is for each party to send & receive messages, and have some state.

It's synchronous, I'll grant, but only in the trivial sense that one party acts, then at some point in the future the other party acts. It certainly doesn't require both parties to be online at any point.

> In my previous post I was really asking about the user experience angle, which you didn't respond to at all, so rather than asking a question, let me simply say: I think this feature (at least in as much as I can conceive of it being used) would provide a poor user experience.

I think that the user experience would be identical to the current Signal UX: from time to time one's phone would buzz and indicate that one of one's friends uses Signal. If one wanted to, one could add a contact in person, e.g. through NFC or QR codes or whatever.

You seem very invested in hating this idea; you might ask why I'm so invested in it. Very simply, Signal is a tool for secure communication, but it requires that end users reveal every person they've ever communicated with to OWS.

"The status quo if you are a defunct project "

Most successful projects in FOSS with many downloads get virtually no contributions or financial support back. Even the largest ones have an enormous user to contributor ratio with almost all benefits going to the users. Therefore, it's the status quo for open-source in general. Those getting tons of contributions and development without a company behind them are extremely rare.

I had a great article on this before my crashed HD deleted newer bookmarks. It was a woman that surveyed many popular projects to ask about their status. Most complained they were barely getting by, the developer(s) stretched thin, tons of requests without accompanying payment/support, and mostly no contributors. I'd like a link to that article if any readers know which one I'm talking about.
You don't say what you are looking for in the post. There is a mention of "platform engineer" but no clue what this is or what he's supposed to do.

I like to highlight just the places where you are defining new variables/functions/types so that the definition is easy to spot. What is the point of highlighting keywords? I suspect that highlighting engines do it simply because it's easy to do, not because it's useful.

(In my opinion) Negative emotions are indeed useful. Feeling sad or griping about something is not all that bad as long as it helps you define what it is in your life you don't like.

The hard part is forcing yourself, after some time in the dumps, to say "OK, no what am I going to DO about this?"
I tried this multiple times over the last few years and it always didn't matter. It's not making a measurable difference but it looks less pleasant and I rather look at pretty things.
I guess I often do it internally. If someone is acting derisive towards me but still has some amount of content in their objection, I (sometimes) internally pretend that they have said only the content, minus the derisive crap, and then I respond to that.

I've also noticed that sometimes when I do that, the person I'm engaging with responds more respectfully.

Other times I hit back because sometimes people are jerks. I dunno. Jury's still out for me on whether I should ignore derision all the time.
