Sorry, but you seem to be confusing "the right to speak" with "the right to be heard." Your right to speak freely is not lost simply because the town square is empty and everyone is inside private clubs that will not allow you in.
And if selling vote becomes possible, it's also possible to be forced to "sell" it for an unfair price.

So can the Xbox app.
That's not it. It's among other things:

- the threat model of a startup with only 2M of funding managing an asset (election outcome) that is worth far more

- the lack of verifiable proofs for individuals to see that their vote was handled correctly

- systems with known issues being deployed.

The idea isn't awful, the execution is.

Buzzngo: Real-time public polls for everybody
From my experience the US broadcasts of soccer do have a ad popover the playing game on some games; often over or in addition to the scoreboard. It is much like an animated banner that you would get on a website. It does not cover the entire screen; but it is still intrusive.
Of course there is still exposure to the stadium side banners, and shirt sponsors as with all soccer games.
With just two colours it's hard to see the intermediate values because our eyes tend to blur together colours; is that an intermediate value or sharp edge that I'm seeing fuzzily due to poor focus? With an intermediate tone, such issues are pushed down to lower resolutions - with yellow-red-blue I know for sure that if it's red it's an intermediate, but is the orange area a mix of lots of small yellow and red domains or is it a field of intermediate domains?

Rinse and repeat.

The article seems to say "this scale is better" whilst also describing how other scales can be better. The evidence they present says to me "choose scales according to the data, the desired use, and the observer", of you ship the data used to cover a visualisation along with that visualisation then people can use their own scale altered to the purposes (and disabilities) they have.
Companies also can lobby which is the more hedged way of influencing policy since an established industry think tank can have more staying power and influence than a single or handful representatives or senators.

Edit: what I mean to say is that legal lobbying lowers the incentive to use campaign donations as a form of influence.

Why does this report have little to no data on Facebook's mobile app usage, which constituted 90%+ of all Facebook usage as of 2016 [0]?

The posted article says this:

> Although Facebook's app traffic has grown, it is not enough to make up for that loss, the study said.

But the linked-to study says this [1]:

> Yes, visits to the “flagship” website in the U.S. are down, but their entire network continues to grow. Their app usage is large and increasing, and they increasingly find growth from other parts of their portfolio, such as Instagram and Messenger.

I don't see any part in which the SimilarWeb analyst attempts to gauge mobile app metrics.

> Advertisers to tend to measure how many people are turned of by their ads. Atleast the ones that care.

How? If I don't respond to your ad, then how do you know whether it's because I just wasn't interested, or because I was interested and your ad removed that interest? That is, in this language:

> Quality advertisers will tell you if an ad sucks and is annoying potential customers (they measure accept/ignore/deny rates of ads).

how can you tell the difference between 'ignore' and 'deny'? (I think particularly of Pandora, which plays the same ad over and over and over and over. I don't mind it once, but, the more I hear it, the more I vow never to use the advertised company; yet I have no choice but to sit through it. How can any company measure the negative effect they're having on me in this way?)
That would require proper journalism though.

IIRC one of the biggest complaints was that their workers in other countries still have to work under Irish labor laws which includes less holidays and PTO than they would deserve under laws of countries they actually live in.

Well yeah, they have competition from EasyJet and some others. EasyJet is like Ryanair but not crap. Planes look nicer inside, baggage fees feel less like a ripoff, and they don't try to sell you lottery tickets(!!) on every flight.
CIGS, like CdTe, has always been limited by material economics. As demand goes up, the world economy’s limited production of these exotic byproducts can’t keep up.

>>Citizenship has historically been defined by military service, in that you are not merely subject to the security apparatus of the state, but a part of it.

I don't know where you got this idea. Most of the largest empires in history - Romans, Sassanids, Ottomans, British, you name it - had a professional warrior class. It wasn't all voluntary, but ideas like draft only applied to non-citizens.
Unless/until you're a customer of an ISP and hosting something on the connection they provide, there's no content.

Now, think through the logical consequences of your argument for a moment, and ask whether you really want to legally require every ISP and every hosting service and every website everywhere to be legally required to accept absolutely anyone, absolutely any behavior and absolutely any content, without exception. Do you really want to live in that world? Or are you just grasping at straws to try to maintain an argument you made in bad faith from the beginning?

The question not being asked is: what makes people susceptible to radicalization?

I think it's telling that America's potential for radicalization might be comparable to that of a former war zone like Iraq. We are not a healthy society. De-platforming will not make us a healthier one.

Fascinating. When you pump the water out I wonder what it's replaced with? What holds back to pressure of the ocean at 700 meters depth? The article was very light on details, unfortunately.
This is an irritating comment, I don't understand some people's urge to disparage others' research even at the expense of rationality.

Even modern Intel and AMD processors are "RISC" under the hood - they decompose CISC x86 instructions into RISC micro-ops, this isn't a VIA phenomenon. But they DON'T open up access to their microcode to some arbitrary user letting you circumvent ring protections to access the kernel from ring 3. If they did that would be a - wait for it - backdoor.
Evergreen browsers provide a stable API surface as well, because the APIs are backwards compatible. Adding support for CSS Grid does not break Flexbox or anything else I was already using. It simply gives me another tool.
This makes it sound like the only people running targeted advertising would be the state-sponsored "hackers", but that isn't the case. Campaigns spend hundreds of millions of dollars on advertising, including digital, and one side still loses, and not always the side who spends less on advertising.

If you think it's so easy to swing elections with a few hundred thousand dollars of ads, you should definitely go into political strategy and prove it. They'll rain money down on you.
> EasyJet is like Ryanair but not crap

Exactly - I've only been on two Ryanair flights and they were dreadful. It's like they were going out of their way to make it feel shit.
Mazda's 2.0 Gasoline Skyactiv is sold as both 120 and 165 HP. Same engine, same brakes, same clutch, different ecu mapping. The only mechanical difference is the gear box's final drive ratio (the 120's has longer gears for better fuel economy). Why would they do this? I assume economy of scale makes it cheaper.
Well, back in 2003 or 2004 I got myself a pretty damn expensive Sony Ericsson P910i (for €700 or so) in the hopes it would provide functionality that remotely resembled that of an iPhone. It was okish, but disappointing in some areas. I actually bought 3rd party software for it, including GPS software with an external bluetooth GPS module, which worked pretty well. Nokia also had their communicator lineup, which was similarly expensive.

While these weren't mainstream, they did exist and sold well enough to warrant multiple generations of them, and were more expensive than the initial iPhone was at release - so I don't understand the people who said nobody would buy that thing. This combined an expensive music player that sold a ton of units with a phone for more or less what you'd pay for a decent higher-end phone + an iPod in those days. The moment I saw it, I knew I'd buy one. The lack of installable 3rd party apps and a GPS unit was something I immediately identified as an issue, but it was clear what direction they would be going in. I eventually had to wait until the 3G was available in Europe - which also addressed both issues (although the GPS receiver was absolute crap).

Which is pretty much what the name suggests. Airline pilots, both passenger and commercial flights, swapping news and rumours.
To be fair, "parental control" back then was so much looser than anything we could conceive today. Any family would have had a minimum of 3 or 4 children, and they would have been put to work at ages as early as 8, possibly becoming a tribe peer shortly after. There was probably control at tribe level, but parents were likely busy surviving.

We also keep talking about this in terms of rejection (being banned, escaping parents etc), but it might well be that they were simply pushed by a reckless sense of exploration, curiosity, and personal ambition. Their world was endlessly new: what is beyond that hill? What is beyond that river? I'll find out, and if it's good, I'll make it mine. After all I'm a teenager, I obviously cannot die.
There are a few things mentioned in [0] and [1], unfortunately in german:

- The contracts are based on Irish law and contain rules that violate German employment laws.

- They have to pay for water on the flight, in addition to lots of other things (e.g. health checks, mandatory simulator hours). These costs can sometimes be deducted, but they argue the airline should pay for it in the first place.

- When they are sick, they have to come to the office/airport and state their symptoms in writing.

- Lots of Pilots are hired as contractors, not as full time employees. That would also violate German employment laws.

Thats why I book usually with them. The strike is a new situation, but I also have no scheduled flights, so I see how it goes. But I also never flew EasyJet, so it is possible that I might switch once ... and then stay with them.
> When a purchaser, who doesn't know the difference between good technology and garbage, orders "good technology," he will always get garbage.

That may be perfectly right but I think we're both right only when taking it to an extreme. A purchaser might as well understand the technology very well. Just as a researcher could be a manager at some point.

The problem lies with "pure" researchers and bureaucrats. They will always see just their way so there's no middle ground. The perfect situation happens just by accident, where the researcher's curiosity happened to intersect with the bureaucrat's ideal money maker. And much of this is down to how each one communicates the expectation: the scientist doesn't know how to state his goal in terms of benefits that the bureaucrat can understand, and the bureaucrat doesn't know how to ask for things in therms that the scientist would understand.

But take the military for example. Their currency is power. And they are perfectly able to drive research in that direction even without being driven by scientists.

And yes, bureaucrats don't trust the researchers with their money. It's because a manager investing in research is like a bet with long odds, where you don't know what exactly you're betting on, and the bookie is a gambler himself. Scientists get guaranteed money without guaranteeing a result. And "worse", a success for the scientist doesn't really mean success for the manager. You are happy you have an interesting result, or a confirmation. The manager is happy if his investment was worth it in terms of time and money.

A more practical example would be if you paid someone to build you a manor and after years of work he comes with a hangar. Unless you're able to monetize on that it's a failure.

Every one of my former colleagues learned to sell their knowledge in terms of benefits a manager understand. It's easier for you to understand their language than for them to understand yours.
You made me laugh, but yeah I can't think of another good reason for my refrigerator to be "smart".

The 4 planes I took with Ryanair this summer were all late. The last one had air conditioning broken, we were roasting like chickens for almost 2 hours, from after we boarded the plane to before we could depart.

I've been telling my girlfriend to never buy Ryanair again for as long as she bought Ryanair. There aren't really alternatives in the nearby airports or on the right day/time, so there's that.

I guess they can keep doing whatever they want as long as there is no competition.

Point being, there is little competition between airlines. There is also no reason for ryanair to be this cheap, they should be able to raise price without issues.

My "what if" question was about a train line that is never finished. An unfinished train line doesn't carry trains and doesn't move passengers. It doesn't decongest highways of traffic either. Its role will probably be only as a monument to a certain type of politics.

> Well, reading yours made me feel less crazy.

Btw, I believe my wording made you think that somehow I said that you're crazier than me ahhaah and I feel better because I know there are 'crazier people than me'. English is not my first language, so sorry :-) What i really meant is that it feels good to know there are people going through the same stuff, because usually when we are having these symptoms, we tend to feel really alone ("why does this only occur to me?"), which is wrong -- there are lots of people going through this.

Don't be scared of Xanax, I took it for two years and it really helped. It won't cure you, but it will do better: if you're struggling too much (daily) it will give you some time off to reorganize your thoughts and understand the whole situation (when you're in panic you're not able to have a logical train of thought, right?). And with better understanding comes better mental tools to deal with it (reassurance, previous experience, etc).

Have a good one!

Hey cryo,

Thanks for the feedback -- we're in the process of putting together a better app landing page. We have a more proper app landing page up at https://www.afari.io , while the app, for people to try out is directly linked at https://app.afari.io.

Moreover, here's a link to a blog that describes our vision and the problems we intend to overcome: https://medium.com/afari-blog/introducing-afari-social-media...
I was talking with a friend about this. The key is verification, and paper is a cheap form of verification. That said, if we are to have voting machines, I believe they simultaneously need to be developed by the government and have open source code so that it is independently verifiable and we have a way to check that the binary build is exactly what it says it is.

Fundamentally, voting is a hard problem that looks like an easy problem precisely because the incentives to break it are so high.

Is the article supposed to end on a cliffhanger like this?

The better way of course is to do this via inbound marketing and discovery. For example, you make a youtube search for "how do I make my laptop faster under Linux", and then you watch some free videos and maybe even contact some companies to buy their stuff.

The hypothesis behind cold calling and cold emailing is that 90% of customers don't do this for some reason, and are just waiting for some random person to contact them about something new for them to try :)
I feel like this is a perfect example of "put your money where you mouth is."

If you are outraged over soft drinks, then you should own soft drink stock so that, A) you have some influence over their operations, B) you're shouldering some of the risks associated with moving to a safer product.

If you avoid a company completely (purchasing neither their stock nor poduct), then they have absolutely no reason to listen to you, so you're only remaining option is regulation.
Did you require a certain time complexity? I came across this on Leetcode. I found it really trivial to implement the “test all substrings” algorithm, but fiendishly difficult to implement the “expand around centers” algorithm.
You may explain it this way quite easily. But frankly, there’s a standard, which is a tab. It’s small, dry so can be stored for extended periods of time, and the chance it contains anything but acid is incredibly small, as anything comparable would require vastly larger volumes.

Point being: if you made a decision to take a dodgy-looking pill in the middle of nowhere, don’t go on talking about the fact that you’ve exprienced something worthy. You’ve got a bad taste and noone wants to listen about that.

Hey sabbakeynejad,

Is there anything specific about the UI that you didn't like?

To answer your questions, we could be called a 'micro-blogging app' as Afari supports posting short text statuses, links and photos. You use it in a manner similar to twitter or facebook.

Regarding the who the app is for, "We built Afari to give people who value privacy, data ownership and censorship resistance, an alternative to centralized social media like Twitter and Facebook. In future, we plan to integrate a token network to help content creators of all audience sizes monetize their content more easily."

Thanks for your feedback. The app login page definitely doesn't do a good job at explaining the app to people in its current state.

I'm not sure how the need for graphql follows from the ideas/solutions. You could have graphjson, which enforces publishing a schema in the standard and forces a structure which allows easy validation. Graphql can be as "wrong" as json. If I write `query { query { query { foo`, it's not any more correct than `{"query": {"query": {"query": "foo"}}}`, but at least I've got existing tools to format the second one and generalise the inner fragments between multiple queries.
