Competition between government money and cryptocurrencies
Open source voting software will never replace proprietary voting software, because open discussion of voting software security will reveal that it's impossible to build hack-proof voting terminals.

Paper ballots are a superior technology.
This one looks like a good match: https://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how-to/hack-like-pro-hijac...
...would it?

That's an honest question. He's widely assumed to be corrupt, to have a large amount of money personally, and an enormous amount more at 1+ removes held by people connected to him. There's no sign that he intends to leave power, which means he can store plenty of it without any paperwork at all - just an implicit "you'll use this as I ask if I ever do ask".

But he's also virtually untouchable, and his wealth-hiding seems to be less "no one can find it" and more "no one can prove it so undeniably that it becomes inconvenient". I'm not convinced there's anything 'leakable' that would be particularly important.
It's important to differentiate between "smartphones are universally bad for teens", "smartphones are bad for teens in our circumstances" and "smartphones are usually bad for teens, but under some circumstances they work our fine". That's not just an academic difference: it may be easier to change to circumstances surrounding smartphones than the presence of smartphones. But that requires understanding what the factors are. Wrongfully declaring smartphones as universally bad is unlikely to be helpful.
Nice, but impractical, since now I have to keep the browser open.

You should ROT-13 them twice for extra security.
But we're not talking about cars, we're talking about the electrical grid.

In the current stage of the grid and storage, storage capacity is used not for long duration transmission of energy, but shorter term filling in of power gaps. In the past few years that's been frequency regulation, and now the replacement of peaker plants, or instantaneous response when waiting the 10-15 minutes for a peaker plant to come online.
> Very true, but have you ever found yourself bored enough to do something else, yet still continuing to check your favorite sites or looking for engagement online, and being disappointed? It's like looking for that dopamine hit and not finding it. It kind of goes beyond boredom to a strange kind of empty feeling.

This pretty much sums up a great majority of my online browsing experience in the last few years.
Yeah you can just scroll through someone's Facebook account for 'secret' answers. They're bound to have answered one of those "Your porn star is your first pet's name followed by the street you grew up on" things

"The third project I would not like to leave unmentioned is LISP, a fascinating enterprise of a completely different nature. With a few very basic principles at its foundation, it has shown a remarkable stability. Besides that, LISP has been the carrier for a considerable number of in a sense our most sophisticated computer applications. LISP has jokingly been described as “the most intelligent way to misuse a computer”. I think that description a great compliment because it transmits the full flavour of liberation: it has assisted a number of our most gifted fellow humans in thinking previously impossible thoughts."
Or use paper ballots.

Additionally, if you really wanted to protect voting and still use computers, use an open ballot and also allow voters to audit their own vote.
Nit: it's not pawnch-kee if you're speaking American English, it's more like pown-chkee. But still not quite.
Would that really be effective? Isn't it relatively cheap to create a new wallet?
Eh... assuming demand is there. I guess it could be, but price of the car matters, prices of oil matter, politics and lobbyists matter, success of this rollout matter. There's some risks here before you call it "too late".

Well sure, and many people have affairs for this reason. On the other hand, many don't out of respect for their partner or their own values.
The chosen primitives can still be implemented such that there are timing side channels.
I'm a millennial myself, and I think there might be a good argument to make that there is an accelerated moral decay happening, and that has been happening for many decades.

It feels good to say that this is just old hogwash that gets repeated each generation – but as a student of history I look around and start to think maybe there is a long and steady moral decline that materializes itself in huge and unsolved economic/social crisis like what we're seeing now in the U.S.

Zoë Quinn on Surviving Gamergate and the Internet Trolls
Seriously. I live in a city that is comprised of 50% white people. The vast majority of women's profiles exclusively say they want a white guy (source: me using Match). And when I use other apps, I get recommended matches (source: me using CoffeeMeetsBagel), they only recommend me women of my own ethnicity despite me never had explicitly suggested I cared about ethnicity.

FWIW, I'm not suggesting people shouldn't have preferences, but for a lot of apps and depending on your gender/ethnic composition, the inclusion of other ethnicities doesn't really mean you are exactly on a level playing field.
Audi already had to scrap one of their EV models, because its technology was so far behind Tesla's by the time it was ready to hit the market.

Traditional car makers are just extremely slow to adjust, because they have never faced any real disruption. They've effectively been selling the same product for decades with only some marginal and incremental improvements. Tesla, on the other hand, is using the SV model of doing business: First create an MVP, then iterate rapidly until you have something that is so good, it can steamroll the market. When Tesla was founded, traditional car makers laughed at them, claiming they would never be able to even build a proper car. These comments are eerily similar to what the Palm CEO had to say about Apple and the IPhone ten years ago: That a couple of computer people from SV would never be able to build a proper phone.

Traditional car companies are entirely unprepared to deal with the kind disruption that is coming to their market. And that does not only concern EVs but also self-driving cars and the sharing economy. I don't think they can stop Tesla. The real question is how much of their business they will be able to save.
You are lucky that you work with talented and engaged people. I had to bring in a linter at my new job because my coworkers were incredibly lazy about their code. No indenting at all, or the indenting is all mixed up and they didn't care to fix it. They would commit completely broken javascript without testing it.

I stand by linting for development teams that don't have the luxury of good talent.
There are different interpretations of the word "public". The parent I think uses it as a legal term, i.e., deviations can be reported to and handled by law enforcement: e.g., in the US one can photograph anything and anyone on a public street, but usually cannot walk there naked. This is the definition I personally use, too.

The meaning you seem to be using the term to mean welcoming everyone by choice of the owner (e.g., "everyone can come to my restaurant"). However, in this case the owner can also impose their own visitation rules (e.g., prohibiting a dress type that is offensive to one group but perfectly acceptable to another).
Who'd have thought limiting the labour pool would drive up wages?
I was unsure because the blog is two years old. Two years with a typo in the title is quite a bit.

Maybe it was some kind of subtle joke that I do not get.
The argument they cops used is that people who score to highly on the qualifying exams are likely to become bored with the work they do faster, leading to a lot of turnover and the costs that go with replacing them.
> My top 3 answers are one-liners that solve "problems" any semi-competent developer shouldn't even need stackoverflow to solve.

Remember that SO's main traffic source isn't experts, it's novices searching for answers. I did some digging at one point, and the most popular questions on ServerFault are extremely basic, like 'how to make a symlink' basic (viewed 1 million times https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1951742/how-to-symlink-a...). If you're a developer or student just trying to figure out this one UNIX thing so you can get back to JavaScript or CS:Go or whatever, this is great.

How do you ensure people able to hack your voting system won't be able to change what is displayed in the open ballot?
I think it is more an IPv4 problem -- everyone is fire-walled and NAT'd up the wazoo and direct connection require some UDP + voodoo (or at least it did last time I investigated this).
Maybe that's because you are ideologically possessed by the left
A natural extension of the industry requirement for crypto implementations to be open-sourced. How can you rely on the security of a system you cannot inspect? The trouble is that security through obscurity is the physical standard - you can't keep a lock everyone knows the cut for - so the non-technical approach is sticking with what you know.

It's disturbing that a major corporation has the lobbying power to back that kind of unsafe position for its own gain, though.
Sure. But that's not something I would consider passion between two people.
For a while, I had an old grandfathered-in unlimited Verizon plan, which was nice but kind of annoying since I knew it included a phone subsidy that I couldn't use (because getting a new phone would mean getting a new contract, which would mean loosing unlimited data). So I bought my phones off of swappa, but it always annoyed me that I was paying Verizon something like $300/year for a phone that I had long-since paid off.

I was a big fan of their new plans that separated the phone cost from the service cost. I dropped down to a 2GB/month plan and cut my bill by like $6-700/year. (Well, I occasionally go over 2GB, but not most months. The actual savings are probably more like $5-600 when factoring in the overage costs.)

The new unlimited plan seems a lot like the one that I was "stuck" with, except more honest.

No surprise that their average speed is dropping, though. I remember when LTE could hit 70+ mbps. That doesn't happen often these days. (Of course, it's not like you could actually use 70mbit for very long - that speed can burn through a 2GB plan in under 4 minutes.)
....Or just be reasonable and use paper ballots.

They're not actually that hard to count, they leave a hard to alter record, they require more effort to fake, etc.

The under investment in voting and the focus on mechanizing it has been a disaster in the US and is teetering on the edge of being incredibly dangerous to the well-being of the country.

Electronic voting has none of the features we want and all the failure modes we don't. Return to entirely paper.

(For what it's worth, my area seems to basically use those test scanning systems on paper mail-in ballots. That's still more electronics than I like involved in the process, but is much better than fully electronic and we might be stuck with that as long as we use mail-in ballots -- which is a separate debate.)
Data Analytics with Elasticsearch and Scylla
Haskell and Erlang come to mind. COBOL, if you really want a distinct comparison.

It might just be me, I wouldn't take my off the cuff commentary too seriously. I was kind of surprised when I started to learn Rust that the Internet makes it sound like this incredibly difficult and arcane language, and I thought, after getting a grasp on the basics, that it was much like a fine-grained Node. It's a nice language, I like it, personally.
Well, in that case, it should already be something that's staggeringly improbable to be used by anyone else, and for your use, you should never ever ever send this password through any network interface at all (including this check page).

I disagree that there's no positive effect. A difference in code styles can introduce cognitive load, though naturally the actual effect will depend on the individuals involved, and the actual differences (for some, I agree it could be a non-issue).

> Hopefully, you feel as passionately as I do about your own stylistic choices. My approach works best for me; but, it's not for everyone. And, clearly, other people's choices don't thrill me. It's a completely subjective matter.

I do not. I do have preferences, but I'll let them go quickly in favour of following a standard convention for a given project. I care more about consistency than my own subjective opinions on code style.

I would agree that manual code style checking is painful. I've previously used jslint, eslint, tslint, etc. and I always forgot to run it locally, and then get frustrated when it inevitably failed during CI. There's tooling to address that (syntax highlighting in editors, git hooks, etc.) but it doesn't completely alleviate the problem.

Personally, I quickly adapted and the initial friction of adjusting my workflow (and co-workers theirs) meant a more consistent code base. I was pretty happy with that.

Lately, I've been using Prettier.js that runs on save, and frankly I think it's fantastic. I don't always agree with the specific format it's chosen, and there's at least a few things it doesn't handle (e.g. superfluous new lines), but for the most part I no longer need to think about what my code looks like (stylistically, anyway).

A lot less cognitive load, more consistent code base.
Content-free click-bait "summary" ? HN expects better...
thats exactly the point.

before: questions were always open. and over time people added those details.

it's going downhill for the same reason every internet community does: power crazy moderators who completely misses the point of the site they moderate.

"Why don't they buy Tesla? Why don't they buy Disney? Why don't they attempt to reinvent home construction which is a stagnant for the most part?"

I think it's worth considering that prices for assets just might be a little high right now.

I have no idea what Apple is doing and don't have any specific insights but I have, in the past few years, found myself passing on certain growth and investment opportunities because I felt the prices were quite high relative to what I think the prices could be in the next 3-5 years.

Why buy Disney now when you can buy two of them a few years from now ?

On the flip side, I think there is some political risk for Apple here in sitting on too large of a cash horde ... there is a point when the amount of money becomes too big to ignore, politically. Consider that a 1% taking of some form amounts to almost $3B. At some point someone will figure out how to structure such a taking ...

> Also, a GP, whose salary is bringing down that $202k average (it's not specifically for thoracic surgeons), only has to do a 1-year residency

This is false in the US from what I can tell. I have several friends who are GPs and every one had to do a 3 year residency.

For the rest of your post, I think you're arguing less against anything that I said or wrote and more against an imaginary opponent that you've probably met in various forms online in the past and are projecting onto me.

Again, all I wanted to emphasize was that there are many teachers who absolutely get the entire summer off and who do not work much more than 40 hours a week during the school year, if any extra at all. Please consult the original comment I was actually replying to. If you don't contest this, then you probably don't actually disagree with me. I agree with most of your analysis of the infographic, but I never championed the infographic to begin with.

For clarity, here's what I was actually responding to and debunking:

> that only makes sense if you assume teachers barely work more than the school day itself, which seems implausible. It also assumes that teachers work 38 weeks per year. That would mean a 3.5-month summer break, which doesn't really match with reality.

Wow - that's a crazy amount of energy. As a Brit who's never been the south of the US, is that figure really true? 100kWh is about 300 miles in a Tesla, or boiling a kettle constantly for about 30 hours.

If that's really accurate, then I'm staggered at how much energy folks must be using to keep cool, and makes my efforts at saving energy seem paltry in comparison.

I think what riverbashing was saying was that if a particular temple wanted to restricted access it could.

I think that here in the US a church/etc can do the same thing using a 'private property' law of some sort. Something to the effect of "It's our private property and we don't want <whomever> here"

That said, most religious groups that I've seen (in the US) try to welcome potential new members and have (like you said) welcomed visitors as well.
"Pick a password length. Eight is pretty secure and usually acceptable." Wait, what? Unless you're suggesting that I append this to a password.

> I think most people are willing to take a pay cut in exchange for better social services and free healthcare & education.

Postsecondary education is not free* in Canada. It's certainly cheaper than in the US, but nowhere near free.

I paid around $10k/year for my B.Eng program (as a domestic student in the late 00's).

Also healthcare in Canada, while covering regular doctors visits and any emergency hospitalisation, is not entirely free. You still have to pay for dental/optical (unless your employer offers additional insurance) and you still pay for prescriptions (which can add up).

* maybe this is just your phrasing and you meant "better education and free healthcare"
> "It’s as if there’s a worldwide commitment to helping this company succeed"

This statement makes me so happy, (a) because I feel I've noticed the same thing, (b) because it gives me faith that people actually care about putting money in good/important places, and (c) it implies that the economy understands that sustainable transport is actually an important cause, to the tune of $50B. This is what investment should be about: People cooperating to improve the way things are.
“We have fallen upon evil times, the world has waxed old and wicked. Politics are very corrupt. Children are no longer respectful to their elders. Each man wants to make himself conspicuous and write a book."- Naram Sin, c. 5000 B.C. (Cuneiform tablet)

Every time I hear 'olds' talk about how the 'youngs' are lesser or missing something, I am reminded of this quote pulled out of the dust from 7,000 years ago. That said, yes, things are changing. Just like the Naram Sin's society underwent a transformation from hunting and gathering to agriculture, we are undergoing a similarly sized shift in human life from industrial to climo-genetic-digital. Yes, things are changing, probably not for the better in the short term, but that changing is not going to stop.

So, I don't know, maybe instead of trying to make things like the old times, jump in with the 'youngs' and help fend off the sharks alongside them. Maybe it'll help those diseases the 'olds' always seem to catch: nostalgia and regret.

Also, yeah, those graphs are a train-wreck.
It's also true that youngsters take their own day-and-age as the new-and-improved era in which they live, and have much less ability to compare past circumstances with modern ones.

The idea that the modern era is morally superior to preceding ones (even taking into account reprehensible notions such as slavery) is a tautology that stymies a critical reflection of history.

I've found it more useful to think of the modern day as a semi-improved and semi-regressed random walk of history. Some parts better, some parts worse. No sweeping generalizations to distort what we can't ever really know in our hearts – how past lives felt.

Remember - it was Sun that setup that initial CDDL licensing. Oracle had already started working on a separate replacement at the time (btrfs).

As came out with the Java GPL issues - don't assume that Sun had any choice in the matter - they may have had separate licenses to deal with. They may not have written everything from scratch.
I felt like the whole article was just a setup for that joke.
