Putin prefer Clinton, because they will continue Obama's course, which allowed Russia to begin two wars. But, if Putin will say "I like Clinton, vote for her", it will cause opposite effect, so he said "I like Trump, vote for him" to have desired effect.
Yes, that was what I was saying. Absolute value, 2-norm are fine thanks to subgradient techniques and theory, as well as their differentiability over the majority of the function - but you can imagine tons of non-differentiable models where the subgradient is mostly useless and we generally use convex relaxations or other smoother analogs.

I don't think there was any misconception.

My explanation for squared error in linear approximation always was: because it minimizes the thickness of the line that passes through all the data points.

A Yubikey can be run either in TOTP mode, in U2F mode, or as a generic smartcard. (Or a combination of the above.) It's configurable.

I use a Yubikey that's configured both as a U2F token for Google, as well as a smartcard for PGP/SSH use.

And their core, the construction of a Yubikey, smartcard, and HSM are very similar. The core idea is that you have physically secure memory guarded by a dedicated cryptoprocessor, so that your secrets never have to be exposed to the host OS when performing a signing operation.

I'm a contractor, and prefer to remain so, after a brief stint as a permanent, ten years back, with an employer that just expected its staff to pull all-nighters and weekends with no notice, no overtime pay and no time in lieu.

I prefer to work hourly rates, so that the moment I am asked to work overtime, I can just start charging for it. Unfortunately it's been a long time since I saw a contract here in Australia on anything other than a daily rate - so now, if I ever have to work overtime in a day, then I just make that up by working fewer hours the next. And then if asked to work weekends, then I charge per day for that, too.

I've never accepted the argument that because "professionals" get paid more that we're handing a blank cheque to employers to make us work as long as they like without extra pay. Doing so just reduces our effective hourly rate, in the long term.

TBH, I don't actually know how the law in Australia works regarding this, but it seems that employers can get away with not paying for overtime, if they want.
They have well built products (I still find the Surface Studio a bit gimmicky), but they are not much better than what their partners and competitors offer.

> How would an electronic voting machine improve upon this?

I am just theorizing here: Someone now takes the box of paper votes and runs it through the scanner machine. And passes this number along to someone. What is stopping them from tampering at this step? I think this is precisely what my co-worker was describing. There is an inherent trust that your paper ballot is scanned and recorded in a fashion that matches your vote.

An electronic voting machine could potentially communicate votes in real time over a secure connection. Or in the case of Brazil's machines, I believe stores it locally, encrypted, with a verifiable cryptographic signature of some sort.

I'm sure we all know the multitude of other attack vectors this introduces. I guess I am just not convinced that paper makes things more secure.

To those of you who are fans of Randall Munroe's What-If I heartily recommend the out of print classics The Inventions of Daedalus and its sequel The Further Inventions of Daedalus which are in a losely similar vein.

This post really comes off like you're excusing Venezuela of their economic mismanagement, and I hope that's not what you meant.

There's no requirement that a failing economy print money to pay for things. Currency markets aren't stupid; they know it's being printed and price accordingly. And even if they didn't, money is just an instrument of trade anyway, and the market will find its balance.

Anyway, the change in price is at least equivalent to taking money out of the hands of money-holders and putting it in the pockets of the government. So in a sane economic theory, it's always better to tax. The advantage of money printing is that, in a system where the dictatorial elites subscribe to alternative theories of economics, money-printing allows you to blame other forces (in particular, imperialists) for what's happening.
Sorry I was an ass. But I do really think your question has had a very good answer for over 300 years. What is considered legitimate is necessarily a subjective call, and will differ from community to community.
Encryption is meaningless if done incorrectly. I would encourage you to hire a security expert to discuss this and provide a roadmap for your dev team.

Other than that, I think it's not very client-friendly to charge for encryption. If you can encrypt any of the data, it would be good to encrypt all of it.
Scrutineers also have the advantage of being understood by anyone with a pulse. "Votes go in here, mutually opposing interests watch them like a hawk until they get to the counting center, then the count is watched by those mutually opposing interests. You can be a scrutineer yourself if you're concerned. The record can also be re-tallied if there's a concern".

Compare to voting machines: "Just trust us. You need to have deep domain knowledge in several fields before you can even start to evaluate our trustworthiness (software, hardware, security, etc)... so just trust us. No, you can't examine the machines."

I'm not an expert of swing/fling states, but FiveThirtyEight listed 22 states as potentially competitive; Trump also won 194 of the 207 counties that voted for Obama either in 2008 or 2012; and finally I count 8 states that shifted to Trump after voting Obama [1]. Therefore all hands are required to win an election, even for the first 49.9%, even if a few fling states make the difference at the end.

Of course, although it's not possible to earn an election purely by fraud, it could still alter it.

Having two German Shepherds and living in a mixed neighborhood, I've become very conscious of this. Some black people are very fearful of Shepherds, some love them (often from having worked with dogs in the army). I feel a special responsibility to be on the lookout for people's reactions and adjust my behavior to accommodate their needs when I'm out and about. As I used to intensely dislike dogs myself until I rescued one it's not hard for me to relate to people who view them with anxiety.

Sad to say, there are also some people who get shepherds precisely because of this history, knowing and intending to have an intimidating effect on black people. Some of the German Shepherd Groups on facebook attract clusters of racists who delight in posting 'takedown videos' put out by police departments showing criminal suspects being caught or even mauled by dogs. Pointing out the wild statistical improbability of some people's posting patterns as an example of bias has resulted in me being kicked out of groups because my comments were 'making people uncomfortable.' It's a sad fact that some people teach dogs to aggress specifically on people of color, which is an awful thing to do not only to the people around them but to the dogs themselves. Dogs are emotionally intelligent creatures to begin with and Shepherds are among the most intelligent breeds. They think a lot and they dream a good deal; k9 police officers can't sleep with their dogs because the dogs are liable to bite in their sleep. Those who project and perpetuate their prejudice by training an animal to express it strike me as particularly loathsome people.
There are two options: either you end up in prison (see Leopoldo López [1]) or you leave the country. Regarding the coup, Chavez actually tried to gain power that way in 1992 and 2002, so my guess is that the government has strong ties with the army. A foreign intervention won't probably happen either.

Frustrating how a single bit of information can alter the course of one's life.
My point was merely that "basic physics" doesn't tell us much here. You have to know that it's really inflammation that you're treating. You have to assume that cooling is the only contribution of the aloe (clearly, cooling isn't the only thing that can treat inflammation).

I mean, I know what's recommended as basic first aid for burns, and maybe that's common knowledge. The why of it, in enough detail, almost certainly isn't. Note also that aloe is quite commonly recommended as a part of "basic first aid for burns in general" following cooling.
"This civility problem is nothing new, but it’s a persistent problem that Wikipedia—and online communities in general—have yet to solve"

That is some naive technological solutionism right there, at least it's a common one.

Real life communities have also not "solved" this problem. This is how humans behave, this is what "connecting" people means sometimes. Especially when you bring a lot of people together from all walks of life and ask them to share a resource considered valuable. Sometimes that resource can just be "status" instead of a famous online encyclopedia.
Serious question, might sound dumb, but what is a "casual" burger?
Actually they don't defend this model. Some of their leading heads were hired as consultants by the Venezuelan government and that's about all of the relationship that has existed between them.
You're doing a bit of hyperbole there. Depression is, according to the current theories, due to a imbalance in neurotransmitters in the brain. Now, a physiological constraint is much more binding than a behavioural constraint, as nobody can be talked or conditioned out of it. It might be dismissive, but saying that it is as dismissive is too much.

I think you do have a point, meaning that this still might be a serious issue for these people. But if they're really compulsively checking a website which often does nothing but make them feel bad and just can't ignore the damned thing, they need help. From an actual therapist.

I don't know, Venezuela is inches away from going into war.

Maduro and all his friends could be really incompetent running the country, but they are experts in controlling all the structure of power there.

I have Venezuelan engineer friends that were ousted of PDVSA, the national oil company, because they were great technical people but not politically sided with Chavez. They went to work for companies like BP, Repsol or Shell outside Venzuela but the people that replaced them were total Chavez supporters.

All those supporters could not expect to get anywhere near their current status if Maduro falls in disgrace. They would do anything to remain in power including taking weapons and killing people.

Venezuela has become one of the most dangerous place on earth.

PS: The people that aspire to replace Maduro are also socialist.

"Garbage"? Can you explain why?
Beyond the actual security of the voting machines, the other challenge in any hack is making it match the demographic make up of a state. People talk about "red" and "blue" states but the reality is that states are not homogeneous. It would stand out if a traditionally red county suddenly went blue and vice versa.
There are many steps along the chain that have to be secured in both electronic voting (which has a variety of meanings) and paper ballots. Paper ballots enable audibility, which is a separate issue that's also important for voting.

Given the number of comments you've made on this thread, it seems this is an area of interest to you. I encourage you to look though the previous HN discussions on this topic. Here's a list of some of those from the past month or so:

> Sorry, but that is just wrong, Certain types of APIs are infeasible to provide, because mozilla is too time and resource constrained to invest major resources into spec'ing, implementing and maintaining "niche" APIs.

I don't know how you come to this conclusion. They've been able to maintain XUL up until now and whatever they end up with in this new API, it'll be cheaper to maintain than the monstrosity that is XUL extensions.

The specification and implementation are done in cooperation with the add-on developers. They can draw from the community here.

And while they haven't reached Chrome parity yet, they do have already implemented some additional APIs. You're writing as if one thing would block the other.

Global state is OK, but I think we need language features or sugar to help embed the components. If those language features can be nice mathematical generic features like you have in Haskell that is better.

An example is a calendar control, in a grid control in a tab. You click right to go to the next month. That event needs to be bubbled through layers of boilerplate code to direct it back to the calendar's view.

Also another consequence is that the model is a mix of business data and UI state data. The selected month shouldn't affect the business logic, but it is bundled with THAT data which is annoying.

Not sure what the solutions are though.
Secure voting came to my attention after the 2000 Bush-Gore election and recount. There's been a lot of work really interesting work since then. If you're interested in what can be done to improve voting security, I encourage you to see https://www.verifiedvoting.org
First you miss history. Now economics. High-assurance development of the TCB, critical part of system needing it, cost around 35-50% extra on development. Volume sales spread that out. Windows would cost $100-200 with key pieces done that way. The same basically. Only negative effect is rigorous dsvelopment slows release and upgrade cycle. Many firms maximize profit by shipping often then fixing problems later. Market currently rewards that. It's why Lipner, who led high-assurance VMM, favored quick shipping over security in the SDL he built at Microsoft.

Now, with regulation, you'd still have the same software being developed. The components would be simpler (JSON subset vs XML). Costs spread out in volume. People would get used to new, huge features taking "two or three quarters" (Lipner) instead of a few weeks. Non-paid or non-critical usage could be done to test out proposals without building whole thing.

Far as IoT, solutions already exist that are either inexpensive at OEM level or cheap per unit. Just getting ignored by most of market since there's no regs or liability. Hell, Im typing this on a device running one underneath the OS that cost the same as a ddvice without one. ;)

But you didn't close it? So you're not even one negative datapoint. I don't think any rational dev would close a useful developer resource based on perf reasons.

Again, I'm merely replying to the initial comment which was needlessly negative and frankly a tiring trope on HN (rudely criticising something unimportant about the site regardless of its intended use).
This is the difference between practice and theory. In theory differential objectives don't matter, in practice for medium to large datasets they make machine learning a lot faster. Speed is critical, as you need to be able to iterate quickly. The solution most commonly used on Kaggle is to transform the target feature and then minimize mean squared error, but there is some systematic uncertainty introduced by this.
In fact, that is indeed the default protection level, which is strong enough for a default setting.
