In France, anyone can show up and participate to the manual counting.

It is done onsite so there is no risk of tempering.

If you wanted, you could stand next to the transparent ballot box the entire day and then count yourself.

>> Scroll down to the bottom of Constantinos Daskalakis’ web page — past links to his theoretical computer science papers and his doctoral students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology — and you will come upon a spare, 21-line poem by Constantine Cavafy, “The Satrapy.”

Meh. Cavafy was a pretentious twat. His poetry was boring and tedious and he only became famous because he constantly winked conspiratorially to the self-important intellectuals and academics of his time.

Modern Greece has much better poets than Cavafy. Nikos Kavvadias, for instance, or Kostas Karyotakis. Vigorous, dynamic and youthful, poets who spoke to ordinary people and not to stuffy patrons of the Athens Literary Society. Their verse was in rhyme (Kavvadias' more often than Karyotakis') and their subjects were human, ordinary, everyday, down-to-earth. Kavvadias wrote of magical sea voyages to faraway lands. Karyotakis ...well, he was a bit goth, and a horrible swimmer, but OK. I guess neither of them translated well.

And then of course, there were the classics- Seferis, Elytis (both Nobelists), Palamas, Solomos...
Kobach has only ever been concerned about forms of vote fraud that don't show any signs of actually existing, and only then as a pretext for policies that make legitimate voting more difficult as a tool to disenfranchise populations likely to vote against him and his party.

Thinking he is actually concerned about vote fraud is like thinking Donald Trump's cries of “fake news” are signs of a deep and abiding concern for journalistic integrity.
Good point. So much for my theory then.
I have a Foobot which is a consumer-friendly version, less like a professional instrument and more like a smart speaker.

The neat thing is that it has an API, so I was able to build my own pretty dashboard showing PM, VOCs, and CO2 in my apartment.

Its not a matter of what their legal status is. Its a matter of what drives our sense of whether some behavior is right or wrong.

The Bill of Rights and later amendments enshrines the ideal that power should have limitations. Just because this ideal was first applied to government doesn't mean that we must stop there.
Haha, so many adtech companies start with ad- that is hard not to make that connection.
But that system is not the one who cares about if the voter is registered, nor does it know who has arrived in front of it - that's checked by the officials before that. It only counts anonymous votes.

The only reason why it "needs" to know the number of registered is for cosmetic reasons, to display some statistics , i.e. to go from "x people voted" to "x% of expected people voted" that are nice to have but don't affect the integrity of the votes in any way.
It has to be php 7. In lots of comparisons, php 7 was performing close to or better than hhvm. And that was before the performance improvement of 7.1 and 7.2

This article lies about war in a very 'Manufactured Consent' kind of way. It claims Obama took us out of war and minimized it, but that's simply not true. Obama dropped a total of 26,172 bombs across 7 countries in 2016 alone [1].

Just want to say, I really loved that you used the monaco editor. Such a nice user experience when you can use a world class editor that supports code completion, indents and error squigglies.

As a point of interest, I believe one of the big motivating factors for iCloud was to help people who have iPhones, but don't have computers.

Many people in the general public don't realize that you can have an iPhone and not have a computer, as long as you enable iCloud so you can migrate all of your apps and other information from one iPhone to another.

If you're doing an upgrade from one iPhone to another, you only have to turn on your iCloud for a time before the upgrade, then once you migrate, you can turn it off again.

Though, if you have no computer backup you should really keep iCloud on all the time so that if your phone gets eaten by a tiger, all your stuff can appear on your new phone.

I remember Mr. Jobs talking about this once.

Not the tiger part. That was just me.
This work is far more foundational than any of that. It applies to references just as much as raw pointers- it determines how much the borrow checker is allowed to permit, for example. You can't even begin to write the sorts of things you're suggesting without this.
I think you're confused about what GDPR requires from companies.

The whole thing is simply about not collecting data you're not supposed to need in order to provide the service, and whatever you do it must be opt-in.

The only reason why a company needs to block a whole continent is that they've based their whole infrastructure on exploiting the user's data to such a level that they cannot provide their service without collecting and retain data they're not supposed to collect.

As for "a lot of resources", Instagram and the L.A. Times should have enough resources to become compliant.
The village, particularly west of 6th Ave, is one of the only parts of Manhattan I can think of where 1 traffic lane and 1 parking lane is the norm. Once you get above 14th St or east of 6th Ave, its pretty much 2 parking lanes, one travel lane, and sometimes a bike lane nestled between the parking and the traffic on the crosstown streets (and on your major crosstown streets like 14th, 23rd, etc... still two lanes of parking, and often two lanes of traffic, but almost never any kind of bike facilities)

Travis County approves purchase of $8M paper-trail voting system
That is a cool site. I had not known there was such an extensive sensor network out there.

One thing to remember about the kind of location the parent comment wrote about: particulates are very local. Trace gases like O3 or CH4 can have very sharp spatial gradients - e.g., near highways, major streets, or dairy farms. You can observe sharp decreases from emission levels to background levels within 10s of meters. And PM2.5 mixes even more poorly than these trace gases, meaning PM2.5 shows sharper gradients.

So, if you live in a built-up area and you really want to find out about PM2.5 due to your open window, or on your patio or backyard, you may need a very close-by measurement.

You will still observe correlations between health outcomes and mean PM2.5 within, say, one 1km^2 monitoring footprint versus an adjacent footprint. So the background level is definitely telling you something.
Seems there were trying to do find a vendor which would do an open-source implementation of the end-to-end verifiable STAR-Vote system, but couldn't find a vendor last year who was willing to open-source the code. So the country instead went with a vendor which while maybe not as good as STAR-Vote, it still would at least produce a verifiable paper trail, and they will do statistical audits of the electronic vote with the paper copies so could be reasonably sure the electronic count was not tampered.
This is just a correlation study, showing that states where incarceration went up did not simultaneously have decreasing crime rates.

The study can't tell you what would have happened if that state had reduced incarceration rates.

People who get cancer treatment are far more likely to have cancer than the general population. This does not mean that reducing cancer treatment reducing cancer treatment will reduce cancer incidence!
That's interesting.

We're looking at moving our son to a new school that's right at the corner of two major artery roads in Melbourne, with some 17 000 vehicles passing daily (just on one of them) according to VicRoads. The building doesn't appear to have a HVAC/filtration system. Playground is behind the building, but still has significant back traffic and is inside of 100-300 metres from the main roads.

I'm saying that the fumes from the cars and trucks could likely have long term health impact, but struggling to convince wife of this - she says if it was that dangerous, then why wouldn't someone have done something about it? I must clearly be paranoid.. ?

Personally, even though the small school appears otherwise excellent, I'm loath to expose him to these fumes.

I seem to have acquired an ability to taste them whilst on my bicycle commute, and will don a Respro mask when riding the streets with the most backed up traffic.
I had a similar thought a few weeks ago, but for smartphone camera and mapping apps (and the intersection of the two when it comes to world-based AR). Rather than every new app out there having to implement their own camera and map view, have them provide an extension that can be called by the native camera/map apps (providing the view bounds/coordinates/etc), that returns a rendered layer that gets overlaid on the view.

Examples:

In my state we have a govt funded web/native app that provides the fuel prices at all the service stations around you. If there was a mapping extension you could turn on, it would show this directly within the mapping app, and also an indicator "cheapest fuel within X km is at Y location" when you're in navigation mode.

In camera view with an extension turned on, provide object detection similar to how QR codes are recognised.
That's why I called it naughty and not blatant manipulation. Now if this were an ICO or a company looking for an easy flip in the overhyped AI market, it would be different.

My suspicion is that Uber could out-bribe the taxi lobby by 10x, without moving the needle on profitability. This cap signifies that Uber either a) doesn't bribe politicians, or b) bribed the wrong politicians.
It's more to do with declining ad revenues. GDPR has a role to play, but so do ad blockers.

You're making nothing at all from 20-30% of your visitors, because they're blocking ads. If you're actually following the GDPR, then your average CPM for EU users has tanked because you can't track them and can't serve targeted ads without an explicit opt-in.

Your average revenue per page view is declining, so what do you do? More aggressive ad units and more of them. Popovers and interstitials aren't new, they're just becoming more widespread because many publishers are starting to get desperate. Your bounce rate will increase, users will eventually learn not to click your links, you'll push even more people to use ad blocking, but none of that matters right now because you've got revenue targets to hit.
vi keeps a current view of a piece of a document on the screen, while commands are typed on the bottom line. Keeping a constantly updated window on a part of the text being edited is now, of course, completely standard and accepted.

Was screen editing ever not completely accepted? What were some contemporary arguments against it, other than resource usage?

I work on gVisor. The answer is that having a separate kernel is required to achieve a high degree of isolation and by definition Linux containers share a kernel with the host. A separate Linux kernel could work as well, but gVisor tries to achieve a different set of trade-offs.

And here come the whataboutisms. You'll notice that in the post above, I explicitly called out Uber for actively circumventing the local taxi laws. I'm not apologizing for Uber, believe me, just pointing out that I'm not the one pulling the emotional-manipulation strings. The journalists (and the HN posters) who are citing someone's suicide to back up their position favoring one debatably-ethical actor over another are the ones who are doing that.

Uber is not responsible for pushing people to suicide at the end of a 30-year taxi-driving career. If you disagree, I respectfully suggest there are other sites where such opinions are more in line with the underlying ethos.
I'd also recommend "The Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England: A Handbook for Visitors to the Fourteenth Century" by Ian Mortimer.
It's sad to see so much duplicated effort. What does this accomplish that a few patches to the llvm implementation couldn't?
Yep, US has the highest rate of incarceration compared to any other country. It's kind of insane that 1 in every 1000 people is in jail/prison. Not only is it a huge cost to the government maintaining that many prisoners, but it's also a huge drain to the economy to have that many humans contained within 4 walls. Some of them even spending so much time in solitude that they'd rather commit suicide and end their lives.

PM2.5 are mostly secondary organic aerosols, meaning particles that form after the reaction of other emissions. Unfortunately these can occur even with chemicals that have traveled for days and then they react with local emissions. So if you live in a forest which emitts a load of pinene and other organics and due to microclimate you receive NOX etc from a city not that nearby, boom you get very high PM2.5.
Yup, sounds like you’ve got the right mindset in that regard. Pick something to focus on and learn to be highly productive with it at a professional level.

Once you have expertise in one thing, you’ll find it transfers well to other languages and to some degree to other domains. You can start picking up secondary languages, or choose one other language to deep-dive into.

At the junior level, most employers are looking for moderate depth in at least one language and area, and an awareness of what the other technologies are that the developers around you will be integrating your work with. The degree of depth and the number of different technologies they’ll want you to know well will also scale with experience level.

Too many new programmers undermine themselves by trying to learn every single technology they can get their hands on. I blame the bootcamps, which by nature have to expose you to at least a handful of different skills and don’t have time to teach any of them in meaningful depth. They send an incorrect message that a few hours with a new technology, tool, or framework is as much as is worth learning before moving on to the next shiny thing.

I understand the point you're making, but the Bill of Rights is an odd document to use as your moral lodestar. It was designed for a particular purpose: to structure and constrain a new government. It isn't a manual on how people should conduct themselves, nor did its authors intend it as one. It leaves out things that manual would certainly include, and includes things it wouldn't.
Not if you happen to be underwater. Some places still haven’t recovered from 2008. There are parts of the metro area where I live that are still underwater.

It wouldn’t be easy, but if I had a choice between staying where I am where I couldn’t find any jobs and moving. I would move. But in my case, if I can’t find any company that’s looking for a software developer with an up to date skill in my entire metro area and I couldn’t find any type of remote job or contract, I’ve got bigger issues.

My responsibilities are only to my spouse, minor children, and some day maybe my parents. My parents already live in a different town than I do, but they would have to move to wherever I move to.

fine. bottle caps it is.
It seems far easier to establish a standardized framework that forces everyone to adhere to it as opposed to trying to get the web to adhere to some nebulous perf standards.

The sticker underneath mine is damaged but readable: made in UK and the date is "1990-09-05", then other numbers one of which a lot bigger which could be a serial number (1391404).

The Google Cloud client libraries [1] are fully supported. You can use these to access services like Datastore, Spanner, Natural Language, and many other Cloud services. They work on this new runtime, on the flexible environment, on a VM, your local machine, etc. In my opinion, this is the most Pythonic way to integrate Cloud services in your app while maintaining portability.

[1] https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-python -- small caveat, the repo currently states that they're not supported on App Engine standard environment. That will be updated soon to clarify that the Python 3.7 runtime on the standard environment is supported.

> A poll worker isn't the general public, though, that's still a limited number of privileged individuals. The general public would be literally anyone off the street.

In Australia we have observers for the counting process and every party or candidate can send representatives. Political parties are practically begging for volunteers in this role. We also have a much more complex preferential voting system but the manual counting process still shows results 30-60 minutes after polls close in all but the tightest races.

> And a single poll worker still wouldn't be able to verify all of the votes in an election.

Anyone cheating would have to involve a huge number of people around the country and the people watching those people. Getting elected legitimately would be far easier.
Does US federal or California law mandate that breach notifications be sent by postal mail?
