Google switched Google Translate over just last year, November 2016. Considering Facebook is developing all this internally and the scale they operate at and the presumable hardware disadvantages (does FB have any equivalent of Google's TPUs?), switching over in production so quickly is impressive.
I have no idea of where they get those digits. Chinese ministry of commerce posted back in 2015 that, the amount of battery capacity used by biggest Chinese EV makers alone (excluding PHEW manufacturers) was 16.9GWh. And the amount of battery sales to car makers make less than 10% of the market in China.

There is no legal value to storing the individual ballots after an election result has been certified.
Agreed. And to add to it, we should switch to a system in which we have:

* 100% mail-in paper ballots, like Oregon -- no long lines, no games about which districts get which machines, no polling place intimidation

* Mandatory random-sample hand recounts (this has been shown to only need to be on the order of thousands of ballots out of millions for most races, given the statistical confidence you get with it)
> Except that arranged marriage is still common in Muslim society.

I fail to see how the fact that arranged marriage remains common in Muslim society is germane to the point that sentence is offered in response to or even the wider discussion of this app, except insofar as both arranged marriages and the existing structures which support it are an incumbent factor which any dating app targeting that population necessarily must contend with.
I'm not sure about "a large company/organization that dedicates its resources to an open-source product" being the best of both worlds. I mean, maybe narrowly defined, sure. But take one of the better examples of the form, Chrome/Chromium. I'm not sure that a world where we get a free web browser that is used to funnel us all into an ad-driven model powered by an incredible surveillance apparatus is strictly better than a world where we all have to buy our web browsers. There's tradeoffs all the way down. Open source coexists well with some revenue models and doesn't with others, and the revenue models that best coexist with open source have some very significant downsides in terms of how they don't align the interests of the business with that of its users.
I find Rivest's video( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYRTvoZ3Rho ) on homomorphic encryption as voting mechanism quite interesting. It looks more secure than pen and paper.

All user get a receipt which they can verify is same during vote counting.
They themselves can vote count using all others receipt.
At the same time, they can't sell their vote as it's encrypted.
This is sensible. Also the established TLDs seem to have a larger clue stick. Look at the recent .io domain shenanigans: https://thehackerblog.com/the-io-error-taking-control-of-all...
Anything that uses lots of GPUs and actually needs to quickly transfer data from and to GPUs is going to profit a lot from more PCIe lanes. Renderfarms and Deep Learning come to mind.
Every single person doesn't understand all the security aspects of today's paper & pen ballots, how they are secured before and after the day of voting, how they are transported from one location to another, how mail-in ballots get handled, etc.

There's no reason to require something that everyone can understand when talking about a different voting system.

IMHO, we should aim to build something (whether using physical machines or using cryptography/mathematical properties) that the various parties in a government can audit and recognize as secure and that leads to a larger portion of the population voting or a cheaper election process.

Mail-in ballots offer far more robust intimidation and coercion opportunities than are available in polling places.

To be more precise, there are 3 things that must be met for a vote to be considered acceptable, digital or not:

* it must be anonymous, ie nobody but you should know you you voted for

* it must keep integrity, ie nobody can change your vote

* it must be verifiable by all participants

Paper vote makes it easy to meet all criterions: just keep an eye on the ballot and you will be relatively sure that everything is fine. On the other hand it is impossible to have all those conditions with a digital vote, if only because digital anything isn't easily verifiable by all participants.
Why don't you ask them? Most of these people aren't hard to get ahold of. One of them you even share a Slack with. I would be surprised to learn that any of them believed doing a library implementation of pre-existing crypto constructions was an important part of their education, but I like to be surprised.

Apple has run itself as a functional org as opposed to a divisional org and regards that as a key differentiating factor that provides it sustainable competitive advantage.

But one of the key constraints of functional orgs is that they require incredible focus and discipline or the entire structure breaks down. Apple doesn't have iPhone marketing and iPad marketing that report to the boss of iPhone and iPad respectively, they just have Apple marketing that is in charge of making Apple better and reports to the boss of Apple.

That's a huge reason why they were able to self-cannibalize their most successful product so ruthlessly. Because there was no iPod boss who's bonus depended on iPod sales and would throw grit in the wheels of any rival projects. But you can only do this when every single employee is able to hold the entire corporate business model in their head.

You think Apple would do better under a more divisional structure. That's fine, the pros and cons of functional vs divisional have been debated for ages. But it's also a moot point because Apple is never going to switch to a divisional structure and without switching to one, they can't do all the things you want them to do.
"can" probably meant "can lawfully".
For learning the concepts, something that I found rather enlightening was writing map/filter/every (and I guess, some or any, and really just about any function that operates on a collection), -with- a reduce.

Then, write your own recursive implementation of reduce.

I found it really helpful in grokking what these things did, and more broadly improved my understanding and use of functional composition

You get a lot more car with the Model 3 than with the Bolt. Not only do you save $2,000, but you get somewhat better performance, better looks[1], access to Tesla's excellent fast-charging network[2], and excellent active safety systems. If you're willing to pay the extra $5,000 to activate it, you can get Autopilot, which is a game-changer for long highway drives.

Chevy seems to agree with this assessment, planning for an annual production of around 50,000 units.

[1] Subjective, I know, but I think I've yet to see anyone say the Bolt looks better.

[2] You have to pay an extra $750 just to get fast charging enabled in a Bolt, and it only gives you access to CCS chargers, which suck pretty hard as a network currently and are significantly slower.

There are ways to build anonymous but auditable voting schemes.

I have yet to see one that involves a digital voting system. Many of these voting systems are insecure and F/OSS(free and open source) won't fix that. You are giving too many people physical access to these systems at every step of the chain. Many have proposed a "blockchain" based voting scheme, but that takes out the anonymous aspect of voting.

>
Same goes with money, these things called crypto currencies are digital money offering various levels of anonymity.

Yes and none of them provides any anonymity since they all at one point or another reveals too much about a given transaction.

With paper ballots, it's really difficult/infeasible to track who voted for whom and is a bit more tamper resistant on a large scale.

edit: a word.
I was expecting that response. The only solution, then, is to ban all mail in ballots. Right now California, for example, has optional mail-in voting. Wouldn't you expect that anyone who can be coerced to vote some way could be coerced whether the mail-in voting is optional or mandatory?

Using 3G for home internet is an extremely poor allocation of resources. You have a less constrained alternative (wired infrastructure to your home), and your use deprives mobile users (who have no alternative) of bandwidth. The market is doing exactly the right thing by waving people off of this behavior through prices.

Bandwidth is limited and has to be allocated somehow. Prices aren't the worst idea.
You might consider renting a liveaboard vessel. That allows you to move-in quickly and to have a low-risk "out" if you decide it's not the right lifestyle for you. Your criteria for what boat to buy, should it come to that, will be much better informed after you've lived afloat for a while.

Sorry, I'm still not clear just exactly what it is you're claiming. I don't need to critically read magazine articles (or their sources) if we agree on the argument you're defending with them.

If all you're saying is that neonicotinoids are bad for honey bees, I don't disagree! My issue is that I don't think it really matters what's bad for honey bees, because it's not like there was a thriving population of wild honey bees for neonicotinoids to ravage: the mites took care of that 2 decades ago.
You have to be assigned a free public defender by court, requiring a hearing, before you have one to call. That makes it impractical to use one when you are detained without being brought before a magistrate, even if you have the opportunity to make a phone call.

Hmm, great point I did not think of. Doesn't the government already know your identity and voting record however?

Not that that is not depressing that we have to look for "holding the line" instead of reducing government's visibility into people's actions.

Yes, the US has been able to screw up even paper elections in an attempt to make counting supposedly faster. Most other countries just use a paper ballot with some squares next to the candidates and you mark with an X. Any deviation from that is a null vote because the voter could try to identify himself otherwise. Our elections run smoothly every time and we have well counted results in a few hours at most, faster than the US is ever able to accomplish from what I've seen.
So a company that has widening losses claims a 25% margin on its cars. Sounds like some interesting accounting is at work.

Ask Bob Lutz whether margins are greater on a Chevy Camaro or a Cadillac ATS (exact same platform, one sells for about $10k more than the other).
The building blocks of gigabit LTE
I think a lot of you guys mentioning paper ballots are also missing something very important: what is counting the paper ballots? Is a Scantron machine reading the ballots? If so, the firmware could be compromised to bias results in a particular direction in a stealthy manner.

Parent may have worded it poorly, I don't see why you couldn't be given a UUID for your vote that could be checked online later.
Part of our plans. Thanks for the good suggestion
Implementing anonymous, distributed, publically auditable voting is quite simple. Implementing it in such a way that you can verify that your vote was counted correctly, but not be able to present it to a coercive third party to as a receipt to verify you voted for their preferred candidate, is hard.
> Reading Debt is no substitute for serious study of economics

The thing about studying economics is that unless you do it to considerable depth, you'll come away with the wrong conclusions.

Undergraduate economics textbooks teach that central banks try to control the supply of money as an explicit target, and that commercial banks lend out their reserves - both of which are objectively false.

Debt has its flaws, but it at least gets the basic mechanics correct.

That's one of the methods of fraud. Many counties have had "lost" ballots. Many voters have not received their absentee ballots. Florida was actually not even close to finishing counting its ballots when Obama claimed victory in 2012. California had the same problem in June 2016.

With regard to machines, many machines have recorded thousands of extra votes. Some machines run out of memory, and end up losing thousands of votes (those machines did not have paper trails). There's been plenty of problems with these machines - ones that can be fixed. But the fact that every precinct decides independently what to do and how to do it, there is absolutely no way (in the US) to provide a uniform solution to the problems of paperless voting.
It's similar in Amsterdam. I remember being pretty well paid (granted this was 5 years ago) as a software engineer and my salary was around €60k. I will say that, for me, quality of life on that salary felt much better than you'd expect in absolute terms. But then rent and housing costs have gone up quite a bit in the last few years I understand.
Not to trivialize real gender prejudice, but there is no shortage of Japanese women who are in a dire search for a convenient marriage to a busy man who can give her children, financial support, and otherwise leave her alone.

You can totally have a blind signature based scheme that doesn't have some of the flaws which are present with paper ballots. Some of the requirements aren't met today (such as having one and only one digital identity for everyone) but it doesn't mean that paper ballots are the only solution.
If the voter can prove that they've voted some way, then their spouse/boss/landlord will just demand that they show their record of voting the way they wanted you to. This destroys the secret ballot.
Sounds pretty good to me!

Coercion is a concern in communities where there's a power imbalance in the home. Consider, for example, an overbearing husband coercing his wife to vote in a particular manner, or just taking her ballot and voting it himself (and coercing her to sign the back of the envelope.)

An option considered in one state (Utah?) was to allow mail-in voting, but the mailed ballot could be invalidated if you stopped into a polling place and voted. It adds some complexity but reduces the absolute chance of coercion.
>Using lithium-ion batteries for stationary storage is interesting because their original advantage was all about light weight (lithium is the lightest metal element).

Not entirely. The real killer feature of LiPo which has allowed things like Roadster and Model S to exist is their high discharge, or "C" rating. The power density of LiPo is far beyond any previous chemistry available for batteries at scale. Energy density and power density are two completely different things [0].

To strengthen your argument there is another digraph 'ni'.

But this is now approaching discussion that writing doesn't match phonetic. Pronunciation shifts. Words change. Brother Grimms (famous for fables) were linguists studying how consonants use has changed. They talk how 'pater' (like paternity) shifted to 'father'. But Polish has own such shifts. Take a word like 'jabłko', which many people pronounce 'japko' or 'śliwka' that is pronounced as 'ślifka'.

There is even a branch discussing how people using correct pronunciation are HyperCorrect

Yes, paper ballots still need monitoring and audits, whether they use electronic tally machines or not.

Clear Whataboutism, If we do nothing but look back we cannot go forward. We understand those were mistakes and we learned from them and we are better now. ISIS is not our ethical equal, they endorse attacks on civilians, not as a means to an end, but as the goal itself. If the infidel is a civilian then it doesn't matter.

We did commit all three of those atrocities you mentioned. We are imperfect. We also did the best we could the time. We have also improved since then and attempt to actively prevent nuclear proliferation. We have developed bombed that can destroy a single building making arms and leave the hospital across the street untouched. Consider the 1991 gulf war. It had the lowest rate of civilian casualties of any war up until then. We have never set out with the goal of killing enemy civilians out of some direct malice, sometimes we did it because we saw an existential and no other choice.

We blew up cities because we thought it was the best way to destroy factories making arms and we mistakenly thought it would scare the enemy into defeat. Our leaders didn't understand the psychology of our enemy. We have never demanded "death of all infidels" or beheaded our enemies and used that in promotional material. ISIS is the ethical equal of a military of any modern world power.
