> you see the printed receipt through a glass window

I actually believe this is actually the best possible situation.

The voting machine should print a clear, unambiguous, ballot and on-screen tell you to verify it before you officially "cast" your vote. "If the ballot below does not represent your choices, please click <HERE> to request an attendant."

I'm thinking of this more as having printers that print out an unambiguous completed ballot and less as voting machines that "also print out a copy".
Hanging Chads. See: the year 2000.
I agree credit can be very useful and good, but most people are not using debt to try an investment that allows them to pay back the debt and make some profit. They are buying consumables: dinners out, clothing, gadgets, vacations, cars, even housing is really a cost of something you are using. A depreciating asset and not an investment. I think it would be really good to use some of this education everyone gets to get across the fact that consuming using debt with is very bad. Some counter to all the other marketing in the world that says, "Buy, buy, buy". Not immune to it myself.
Mesos is a cluster manager. It coordinates running tasks on a cluster. It can run Docker container tasks but can also run local programs. Most people are interested in running containers because makes easier to deploy and isolate programs. It can be used for container orchestration but isn't only container orchestration.
Once upon a time I was posted to Tokyo to do some integration work. I had a great time working with Toshiba, and wandering around the city.

However a constant pain was the language (not a surprise) and my personal food tastes. I'll eat anything that isn't fish. Several days I'd just select random foods based on conversation with the staff, or pointing to lines on a menu because they looked fun. (That was quite fun, some days I'd get a starter, other days I'd get a desert, and I'd have no clue what I'd ordered!)

The only day I was absolutely certain I'd get great food was the day I found a place to eat that had pictures of the food. I thought I'd ordered a hamburger, but what actually arrived was a fish-cake in a bun. And that is when I learned that photo-based-menus were still not terribly useful.

If there had been a symbol of a "fish", a "cow", or a "chicken" that would have helped, but a photo can't tell you the difference between tomato-soup and chicken-soup, nor between a hamburger and a fish-cake!

Indeed. But Facebook and Twitter beat RSS for tracking users.

edit:

> Perhaps most importantly, you don’t need to be constantly online and constantly refreshing your feeds to make sure you don’t miss anything.

That's misleading. If you are using a desktop client then you might miss items from a very active feed if it didn't connect to the web recently enough.

That was (to me) the biggest selling point of Google Reader: I could forget about if for two weeks but Google would happily and regularly download feeds while I was not connected. Feeddemon and others couldn't do that unless they connected to proxy-like services.

Of course that has some implications regarding privacy.

Another possible approach is taxing the value of land, rather than the land and structure combined. This would incentivize higher density construction since land owners would want to recoup the tax bill.
The Threat by Ross Anderson
Important factors that this calculator doesn't (and can't) account for:

Lifestyle: having owned and rented, hands-down renting is far easier. No weekend trips to Home Depot, no emergency $500 plumbing bills, zero time or attention devoted to care & feeding of house, etc.

Standards: the requirements for the house you're willing to rent are far looser than if you are "betting the ranch" on a house, neighborhood, school district, etc.

Flexibility: renting allows for far more flexibility and geographic mobility. If you need/want to move, give notice, arrange mover and you're off. The process of prepping for, selling and moving from an owned home is much harder, more complex and expensive (especially if the market happens to be soft)

It always felt to me that the purpose of Angular was to give a 'large team using Java' type workflow to development, with the idea being that doing it this way you can just slot in a new angular developer when the previous one goes crazy and runs out the building screaming. But I've only worked on one Angular project, so this is a feeling on my part, not a well worked out theory of how it actually is.

If you believe democracy is for people. Then you are mistaken. Democracy simply means more than one entity fighting for power. Usually both of them have their own agendas and only give a shit when it’s time to vote. And we all know lying, backstabbing and spreading propaganda on Facebook and media channels is a much better way to win voters than doing what’s good for them.

It depends -- if it's analytics, I'd look to ship it to a hosted system (I like BigQuery). If it's not, you might be able to scale up to terabyte or two before sharding; then maybe cassandra or one of the sharded postgres things (Citus, postgres-xl?)? I haven't had that problem in awhile.

Pretty much exactly what Orf said below. The writeup was great and you did a fantastic job of knowledge sharing (which is what this is all about tbh). However the "alright" refers to the two aforementioned medium risk issues.

When i saw "serious vulnerabilities" on a BBC news site, i figured - especially with the open sourcing of payg/gov code, the recent struts vulnerability, etc. etc. - there was going to be something really major, and felt a bit clickbaited. Don't take it personally, as it was never aimed at being personal.
That's a pretty big loss. Byte was my first written material on computing and Chaos Manor (Jerry's column in Byte) my first introduction to actual users of computer systems rather than programmers.

Especially using "comics" style as it was mentioned before. Not only colours on data structures help to understand the algorithm, but also those nice tips, lamps and stars here and there. You might call it childish, however as a student or a child I would rather read a book like that than a typical linux manual like book.

Here is what I would be looking for on top of this idea (which is awesome):
- A full list of algorithms from "Introduction to Algorithms" by T. Cormen;
- A colored mark on algorithms types depending on a problem, let's say search - green (the greener - the more efficient it is), graphs - blue and so on. The reason I would like to see it is that it is much easier to look for an algorithm if I know the color, so I just match the color going through pages;

I think blockchain is a perfect application for voting machines. Blockchain is public, immutable, cryptographic. Every voter can vote and then verify their vote was actually registered and was untampered via a web platform or something.

The network can be run by the public. Ofcourse there is risk associated with the 51% attack, but it's still a more transparent process than what we have today.

Average elementary teacher salary in North Carolina in 2013 was $45,947

times 0.5 is $22,973.50 plus $45,947 equals

$68,920.50

For that kind of salary I'd go teach arithmetic at Nantahala School in the middle of the Western NC woods. Like a lot of schools in remote locations of "Appalachia" it is small-- a K-12 school with something around 100-200 students total. 200 divided by 13 would equal a pretty manageable class size.

For that kind of average salary I'd bet there'd be a nice mix of similarly chipper new teachers also happy to get paid handsomely for their efforts.

I'd also bet that the students would respond to a sudden influx of interest and funding in a place that otherwise looks like it was frozen in the year 1973.

Wow, I remember the first time I used chrome all the way back in 2008. It was a little buggy (it didn't support flash properly at first iirc) but it sure was fast.

Now it has all the features, is still fast, and just generally is more awesome than the other windows browsers, and the other mac browsers, and from most of the Linux desktops I've seen, the other Linux browsers.

Huh? Those series look completely different?

Code Geass has sharp lines and a neon palette similar to many modern mecha anime, whereas Girls und Panzer has softer artwork and a more muted pastoral palette, similar to many highschool sports anime. And while neither series fits perfectly into those categories, I'd still expect it to be a good predictor of preferences.

Indeed, while there are some outliers, you can get a pretty good idea what an anime is like from its poster image, which is not really surprising because they're made to appeal to their target audience.

As an IE fan I was annoyed that they stole porn mode (IE announcd InPrivate before chrome existed). I still know quite a few people who think Chrome invented incognito and that IE ripped it off.

Now that I look it up, apparently the idea started with Safari, but it didn't get much press.

I think the biggest innovation in chrome was how rapidly they shipped. Chrome copy-catted on hardware accelerated rendering and porn mode, but shipped first in both cases.

The reason this happens is simple: other people's money is subsidizing the losses.

First, Florida is extremely fiscally conservative. Taxes for anything are a hard sell. Without additional taxes, our infrastructure will continue to lag, causing far more damage than would've been had we ponied up the taxes in the first place. Also, infrastructure is not prioritized over glitzy marketing. St Petersburg is in dire need of a waste water treatment plant upgrade, but it's mayor is going to spend the money on a development project instead ("The Pier").

Second, insurance: the state has a high risk pool that you can join as an insurer of last resort, and they'll insure you across multiple losses. As long as we continue to issue insurance (taxpayer sponsored!) for properties that are subject to repeated losses or sea level rise, we'll continue to throw good money after bad.

More than his skill I'd argue his enthusiasm and apparently boundless passion for these things was the brighest part of his persona.

Hanging chads were a problem because we tried to use machine-readable ballots. That's the whole point.

Here's a better system: you go into the voting booth. They have some envelopes and stacks of preprinted ballots, each with one candidate's name. You take a ballot for the candidate you want, and put it in the envelope. Then you come out of the booth and drop the sealed envelope in a box.

After polls close, they open the box and all the envelopes, and count the ballots, in the open. Anyone can go watch. If an envelope is empty or has more than one ballot inside, the vote doesn't count.
