Stefan Molyneux had an interesting video on this subject. Not so much about the statistics of non-citizens voting, but on the incentives encouraging some politicians to allow it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN_FOCF3vIQ

I'm not sure how much the federal government can do: A state has a lot of leeway in how it chooses its electors and Congressmen. It's probably more effective for people to demand strict voter ID laws in each state, especially if your state allows citizen referendums.

The article mentions it could be ineffective if your state allows non-citizens to get ID cards, so there should probably be a stamp or icon or something to indicate that you can vote, to reduce the risk of the pool worker being confused.

Normally I'd worry about the privacy risks, but it's so important that I wonder if it's worth taking photos of the state ids associated with each ballot, and also requiring people to write their id number on the ballot. That could be very dangerous if that database gets leaked, though. Are there other alternatives that don't leak information as easily?

I'm not sure how reliable this particular study is, but it's a common enough worry that it's worth making the voting systems more robust just to avoid even the appearance of fraud or tampering.
Sounds like they're trying to make it more like B.

It is not too bad if you don't have three kids or something. I would carefully do the math with a family but otherwise it is totally worth it to make the move. If you live in Germany you would probably have to pay German taxes.
I wrote an answer, but removed it. I'm not arguing simplified Swedish politics on HN.

Sweden already is in the absolute top of redistribution of wealth. It is not the rich people's money you can get, since you can't have a too different system than every other country in the EU. (The threshold for moving is sinking quickly.)

Do note that people earn their money by taking them "out of their backs", as an older generation put it. Only populist left wing politicians think tax money are free.
My father was a baker for a large portion of his life. It really is difficult work, with insane hours, for low pay.

Maybe it's because I grew up in a working class mexican neighborhood where trades and unskilled work are the majority of occupations, but sitting in an office chair for 7hrs a day is paradise compared to baking, mechanics, or any type of manual labor.
Absolutely.

I would actually argue that security doesn't depend on any one product, but instead a mindset, methodology, and toolbox. Defense in depth, etc.

I may be missing the bigger picture here, but it seems like you could simultaneously believe these two things. Even if you're a conservative who believes most mainstream media is biased towards liberals, isn't there a clear difference between say, Breitbart, which is a right-wing news/opinion site, and the recent flood of WordPress blogs set up by teenagers in Bulgaria that pump out outright fabricated clickbait news for money? Why would right-wing politics require you to defend the latter?
Thanks, we've updated the title from the submitted “Gosubc: a C89 compiler written in Go”.

A fair point. One thing worth remembering is that this was a point in time thing. I have seen a lot of movement and some very positive signals around convergence of OpenStack, and a real focus on the end user community. When I was doing the digging things felt different and there is a decent chance that were open stack where it is now I would have taken a different position.

The mission of CNCF is the promotion of 'cloud native technologies' -- specifically container packaged, dynamically scheduled, micro-services oriented workloads. It isn't about picking winners, it is about establishing a safe space for innovation and bringing to bear the collective communities.

The hard math with ads is that Google keeps perhaps 30%, and from that they pay themselves and their costs. So there's not very much customer service you can offer on accounts that earn them $100 to $300/year. And there really is an enormous amount of real fraud.

From what I see, they didn't consider untruthy answers on what people voted. Not sure how relevant this is, but considering this year's presidential election's actual votes compared to surveys might significantly change this study's results.
Right? The conservative narrative is that undocumented persons can act with impunity and soak up benefits etc, but all the immigrants friends I have are scared shitless of getting in trouble or caught by the police outside a sanctuary city because it puts their whole lives in jeopardy.
Way to bring attention to this. Great news!
Likely because of your tone and the way you conveyed your point, rather than the point yourself. That attracts down votes as well. If your message was that this happens regardless of party, you can say just that. FWIW, I think the tone of your parent could be better as well, which may have contributed to the manner in which you posted.

Given no one has commented on why they down voted, this is just speculation on my part based on what I've seen elsewhere on HN.

Ah, okay. My experience was with an independent bakery doing both retail and commercial production; that is, we would bake mix, proof, and bake bread/pastries in house for direct sale to the public, and additionally provide bread and pastries to local restaurants for resale.

I worked there for almost but not quite two years, and by the end I was managing the bread dough for all the mixes (moving things in and out of the proofer and fridge as necessary to make sure they were ready to bake at the right time), mixing all the specialty breads (multi-grain loaf, rye breads, holiday breads, basically everything but the sandwich bread, french bread, hot dog buns, and pizza dough), handling 95 percent of the actual baking, plus I was the person who kept track of the pastry stock, produced and baked pastries, and did the final prep work (frosting the brownies and cakes, etc).
Really? mbox, not maildir? That must be insanely huge.
I would say that baking the bread is the easy part. Dealing with customers, managing employees, getting to the bakery at 3am EVERY DAY, and dealing with other business bureaucracy is the mentally taxing component.

Not a big one if you e.g. have someone else provide the backing email service.

I bought my own domain back in 2002 or so, and note it's important that you own it*, and then set up email with a quality shared hosting service company. At some point I noticed this well recommended Fastmail company, which was lots cheaper than the shared hosting, the other features of which I no longer needed. Which has now been providing my email service for years, and I note they also do contacts and calendaring. And have really good customer service. And are reliable, including not having GMail's sometimes too aggressive spam filtering. Etc.

Although if I remember correctly they were pants at accepting notifications from Fanfiction.net, which is not something I really worked at fixing since it prompts me to regularly check my backup Hotmail (Live, whatever) account. Which emphasizes one thing, if you do this, make very sure to maintain another email account in case you have any problems with your personal domain.

You also ought to get treated more seriously by various important others if you have your own domain instead of a generic GMail or other big free email provider account.

Ask HN: Why aren't desktop OS sold in chips?
I can't think of good reasons for desktop OS manufacturers (i.e. Microsoft, Ubuntu etc.) not distributing their OS in hardware (i.e. SSD or custom RAM sticks containing flash memory along with NVM).

The pros of OS in flash memory are-

1. The flash memories are cheaper than ever. A single NVM chip in a RAM stick

2. Number of laptops/desktops without CD/DVD ROM are increasing significantly.

3. OS in NVM loads much faster than OS in traditional HDD.

4. Users won't have to go through time consuming install/setup cycle, plug-n-play hardware should make the OS ready.

5. piracy of OS in NVM (only) will be significantly harder, if not impossible.

Any idea?
Pay them, yes. Get problems resolved? Not my, or many others, experience.

The headline makes it seem like there was radical change after Snowden. That's fake news. The major movements after Snowden were to quiet public dissent about the disclosures, make legal the former collections policies, and move the authorities under which the programs were authorized, and to restart the programs as soon as there was reduced public attention.

Rather, proposed CIA Director Pompeo wanting increased mass surveillance capability is part and parcel for all intelligence directors, who have consistently (pre- and post- Snowden) called for increased budgets, capabilities and use of mass surveillance to inform propaganda and other intelligence activities.
I read/skimmed about half of it, I didn't see much discussion about selection bias. When I first saw "internet survey" I was instantly skeptical.

Selection bias is massive, the types of people who take these polls tend to be highly politically active. I'm not sure you can extend the conclusions from this sample to the general population.
I believe that discrediting all serious news media is part of the same general disinformation campaign as the 'fake news'.

For one, it's a very standard, expected strategy for such campaigns: The only solution to masses fake information is the credibility of some sources; we trust them to sort through the mess and find the truth. If you want to sow confusion, an obvious tactic is to attack the credibility of the trusted sources. In the U.S., the right-wing bloggers, Fox, etc. have openly done this for many years.

For another, it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. This "MSM" is not a monolithic group, but very many competing organizations. Any criticism that seems, on its face, poorly thought through.
I wonder how much of this is "false alarms" as well. At my office, we had our disk-alert thresholds way too low for a while. Our intent was good: "If someone sees this and aren't busy, they'll jump on it when they get time". But that just meant that everyone ignored the alert until it was too late. Now, you don't want the threshold too high either, you have to find a balance.

signal-to-noise is hard.
I use a dot io domain name for one of my email addresses, but I've always been slightly worried about the possibility of my domain registrar being socially engineered. If someone gets into my domain account, that could lead to ATO and change of the MX records. Should I be concerned? Is there a "best practices" dot io domain registrar that won't allow this to happen?
I was working a contract at a large, old company. They had allocated hardware budget at the beginning of the year, but since we were brought in in late fall, and because the owner of the contracting firm was all sizzle and no sausage regarding Continuous Delivery, we only had enough hardware allocated for two stages of a CD pipelIne.

One of my fellow contractors asked for a laptop and his iMac was sitting there, so I pounced on it and eventually set up a set of docker images containing a couple of Jenkins slaves, headless selenium with Chrome and Firefox, and a couple of nginx reverse proxies.

If I had stayed on longer with the project I might have reconfigured the hardware we did have to run more of the backend code.

It has been really sad how often I've worked at places where some of our best engineering effort was spent on dealing with hardware shortages. Especially since they will inevitably hire another developer or two to make up for all the lost productivity that could have been fixed with $10K a year in hardware budget.

It doesn't surprise me in the least to see someone spending time figuring out how to run a kubernetes cluster on cheap hardware.
Criticism

PS is pretty robust, but it's a bit verbose, to say the least.

As noted elsewhere, command processors internals like 'dir' and 'copy' are supported, but aliased to something else. In the case of dir it's aliased to Get-ChildItem, and copy to Copy-Item.

The latter breaks my favourite quick file create method:

C:\temp>copy con example.bat [return]
commands go here^Z
1 file(s) copied.

I had a quick look at Copy-Item and there is no obvious way to use it to the same effect that I can see.

[edit: added the [return] to make it more obvious]
I just wrote you an email but I'm replying here as well. If you just need to make some flowcharts they will not have a code2flow stamp in any of the pricing tiers. Maybe except free trial, but it does not watermark the output either yet. You are welcome to use the free trial until we have a paid SaaS or buy the basic self-hosted version.

The enterprise version is for companies embedding code2flow in their own products.

Many thanks!

Pompeo demanded death sentence to Snowden.
This was one of my first thoughts--these are extremely, extremely low base-rate events with not much measurement power. People mess with the surveys, or simply fail to understand the questions, or make mistakes in responding. The combination of them makes extrapolating very difficult. This was an internet sample too, and biased in that regard (which the authors acknowledge). It was interesting to me to read, though.

I think the bigger question for me, aside from this, are the benefits and costs associated with any response.

Even if you redid this and found that the likely percent of noncitizen voters was nonzero, you'd have to balance the benefits of any enforcement strategy against its costs.

Given that respondents were also saying that photo id didn't stop them, you'd have to also determine the number of citizens who were unable to vote because of voter identification. To me, the cost of denying a citizen a vote is much greater, and also more certain, than the cost of allowing a noncitizen to vote.

Overall, I'm concerned that the typical "innnocent before proven guilty" logic is thrown out the window when it comes to immigration, citizenship, and voting rights. The government should have to prove to some reasonable level of certainty that I do not have the right to vote, not the converse.
Christ, what country are you in?
Thanks for the part of the response though I'm still concerned at the 'felt' part though, especially if that felt part didn't involve talking with much/any(?) of that community in a public forum. Is there anything I can do to help you understand it better, I'd at least like to be able to echo whatever concerns you had to that community, because at that point it can be actual data that made the decision to go with CNCF creation and not just feelings or thoughts of movement or positive signals (all very fluffy things IMHO).
"Kaspersky certainly care about security, it's their business."

Their business is selling antivirus & other software, not security. They have no history whatsoever of building a piece of software immune to code injection by determined attackers. There are companies and academics that build stuff like that. Some were evaluated by pentesters of third parties. Kaspersky has neither that background nor evaluations by expert breakers. We should by default think they don't know what they're doing and the product is insecure until proven otherwise. Like always.

People often mistake "company in security industry selling security products" with "knows how to secure software or systems." They're two very different things.

In America, they have to at least keep up the pre-text that you are free. Because of the statue of liberty etc. The idea is that if people believe (falsely) that they are free, they are less likely to resist. It's definitely a different style.

Why is this flagged? Yes, there are real criticisms, but this is published, reviewed research. There is a real intellectual contribution.

I'd much rather see a discussion of flaws (there's already a healthy discussion here) than burying a study that speaks to important issues.
