In Australia it's all hand-count, with machine count for verification. Specifically ballots are sorted by volunteers on election night to do the preferential voting, and then the stacks are counted and checked by essentially bill-counting style machines. Discrepancies mean someone else does a count and recount.

The key to all of this is involving as much of the public as possible though: democracy is government by the people for the people, the people need to be involved in its operation. The only way you dispel the idea of rigging is by ensuring a large plurality of your population was involved each time and would attest to their neighbors that they saw no misbehavior.

Electronic voting is based on trying to take people out of the process - it misses the point.
Why wouldn't it? It's not obvious to me one way or the other: it's a small perturbation, over billions of years, of the same period as the period of the orbit itself. It's plausible that it might be unstable.

Quora makes the edit history of everything related to a question public. In this case, the question was asked by John Fish. His profile looks like it could be fake, but it's not clear. If it is fake, they waited several months after asking the Quora question before adding other non-setup questions as cover. https://www.quora.com/profile/John-Fish-49

Like many others in this thread, I've got ddg as the default search engine and sometimes fall back to google (maybe once a week.)
I think google is "smarter", specifically sometimes about the context of the query. However, I usually don't prefer that: it's sometimes very difficult to find something on google which resembles, but is not, something popular that people often search for.
In that situation, my brain can play ddg's results more easily. Perhaps it's relevant that said brain was wired for web search in a simpler time, on altavista.
They're also (anecdotally) wrong about coupon codes. As a consumer, I am most easily "converted" by a tasteful, non-spammy email campaign (maybe 1 or 2 emails a week) that offers short-term, deep discounts on products that I already want to buy. And I don't mean stuff like a LABORDAY25 discount. I mean "You're a valued customer! Enjoy 30% off for the next week, use code NERDPONX30 to save!"

I know the economics of every industry is different, but if you're just interested in moving a lot of product (whether it's digital or physical), it seems like the good old "randomly mail people sweet coupons" works great. Lyft, for example, does a great job of this. Lucky Jeans and West Elm have great sales but they send me too many damn emails, so I never bother.
Or there are a lot of hidden unemployed that are not captured by the statistics.
No, you haven't. The issue with touchscreens isn't the machine total, but rather the lack of a mechanism for validating the machine total. Machine-read paper ballots can be and are sometimes hand-counted to validate the machines.
A lot of that cost is driven by fear (regulatory requirements, risk of lawsuits/stalling by environmental groups, etc.).
In most cases, the employer establishes the hours worked. Working fewer hours would have to be negotiated with the employer.
This is definitely one of those things that divides locals from visitors; Edinburgh is a walker's city. I walk a mile up one way and downhill the other as part of my commute. But visitors or women in heels are not going to do that at the end of a night out, and that's also when public transport stops, all the taxis are booked, and Uber is on 3x surge pricing.

The festival makes this worse; the city as a whole becomes overbooked.

But the gentrification wave is heading into Leith. You can practically watch it progressing down Leith walk. I suppose the giveaway will be when someone builds a luxury hotel in the old dockyards.

Gravitational waves aren't how gravity propagates, however. They are really only relevant in exotic situations like mergers of massive compact objects, where spacetime is warped enough that orbits aren't stable and the bodies spiral inwards, radiating their excess gravitational potential energy in the form of gravitational waves.
This is very helpful, thank you and I hope you continue to broadcast this message. It is definitely changing my thinking and I don't see major media outlets working to explain the technical advantages of these new technologies. It is, after all, a public outreach problem to get new sites approved.
For brevity, maybe I went too far in my reduction-ism. I stand by my assertion however that "network news" isn't covering it enough (leaving most in the dark) and cable news is creating a divisive atmosphere due to the mixing of commentary and actual factual news which leads both sides to believe the "others" are lying to them.

I think you need to broaden your social circle, as the Americans I know personally aren't as connected as you assume. Every revelation I share with them is responded to with shock and disbelief. "What do you mean it's illegal but no one is doing anything about it?" or "If that was true, shouldn't those people be arrested and in jail?"

I only know a couple "cord cutters" and even those that have cut the cord, still watch network news; CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox. Facebook we know is an echo-chamber, not open to dissenting opinions by design.

Furthermore, these people aren't on Twitter, they don't even know what a "web forum" or blog really is ("is it like a website?").

If you work less, you'll be less stressed! Although this article superficially looks like it's full of facts, it's a bit thin on anything beyond what can be guessed through common sense.

The interesting questions are: what length of work-week best balances everything? "Every weekend should be a 7-day weekend, because studies show that workers will be less stressed." What length of week would be good for workers, good for the economy, etc., etc.?

One thing that I've realized, having become an adult, is that just because your job makes you work 40 hours, doesn't mean you only work 40 hours. There are many other things in your life that you have to do that are also work: running errands, parenting, cleaning, cooking, etc.
For solid-fueled designs like the Integral Fast Reactor, the fuel is metallic uranium in steel-encased rods. For fast molten salt reactors, it's pretty much just pure fuel, since it gets melted into the liquid reactor fuel.

After startup, the fuel can be unenriched uranium, so there's no concern about an explosion, or any significant security concern. The only part that requires care and high security is the startup fuel, which has to be enriched to about 20% U235. (Bomb-grade is over 90%.)
>I take full responsibility for my own situation and the outcome.

This pisses me off (not at you! just the sentiment).

Every one around you (people you trust and respect) says buy a house before you can't afford it. Your experience is housing prices rising for 10+ years. Nothing in your environment suggests the party is nearing a close.

Society creates a system where home ownership becomes not just a way to keep a roof over your head, but an investment. Moreover, it becomes one of the few investments attainable by the middle and lower-middle classes.

Mortgage brokers abandon all pretense of due diligence and devolve into a sophisticated scamming machine. They offer financial instruments to people they know cannot fathom the consequences of. They advertise and amplify the societal pressure to get in now before it's too late.

You are not a rational super-human. No one is. (Any one who thinks they are just lucky, and humans are awful at understanding luck)

I don't blame anyone who signed their name to a ARM one bit. To do so is to completely ignore the intense societal and economic pressures of the time.

We used to understand that moneyed interests were not interested in the welfare of every one else. We used to ban snake oil. I don't know what changed. Maybe it was Reagan and Chuck Norris movies.

CTO is just a title. I'm not in these groups but I think (and hope) it's not about the title, but about the things you would talk about.

You could be CTO in a company of just 1 and having a lot of interesting things to bring to a discussion, and could be a CTO in a company of 10'000 and be dull and worthless in a discussion. You could even not be a "CTO" but a skilled dev with experience and a lot of interesting things to say.

> If Senator Sanders et al want to target all companies who pay below a certain wage or offer/don't offer a certain benefit or whatever broad category of social/economic ill that the legislature wants to end, have at it. Just so long as you don't torture a combination of such factors that, low and behold, it happens to only apply to the individual / company that you have it in for.

Sorry, but what you're advocating for a is a barrier towards fixing these problems.

If the legislature only talks in terms of abstract situations, all of it will feel theoretical and will be far less likely to spur real action. On the other hand, if you have concrete examples of problems, that makes the problems feel real. Real problems motivate real action.

Rest assured, whatever bill Sanders writes will target the broad problem at all companies, because he's forbidden from writing a law that would only target Amazon explicitly.

I had a cheese-grater Mac Pro G5 for 8 years that still worked beautifully when I gave it away. I did upgrade memory at one point. An external display had a power supply problem after a few years. I replaced the graphics card. The ability to replace parts does help but I’ve also had a MBP since 2013 that has no accessible parts that also works fine.

Of course, on the flip side I’m grateful for this reliability because there’s no way I want to replace my 2013 MBP with any current Apple offering. They’ve truly screwed their product line and I figure I can only wait one more generation for them to come up with something sensible.
I don't feel we have a track record of responding well to elections where irregularities are suspected. Especially after a winner has been declared, and the loser has conceded.

I mean, the 2000 US presidential election had a recount... that was cancelled. The Brexit referendum had a bunch of spending irregularities... but the result stands. The 2016 US presidential election had allegations of Russian interference... but the result stands.

It's pointless having an early electronic result and a late paper result if the early result always stands - the late paper result gives you nothing except a false sense of security.

We used to think the same about PCs, but now I haven't found an excuse to upgrade in seven years (this is equivalent to the time between the 3dfx Voodoo 1 and the Gforce FX 5x000 series!). I see absolutely no reason why the same isn't happening with phones, it just isn't that visible because of wear and tear replacement (and the various obsolescence tricks).

IMO Contributor is still pretty new, and without users the time and effort spent implementing it probably isn't worth it yet, especially because many of those running adblockers just ignore it entirely (I can't even count the number of times I've read "why pay for contributor when adblockers are free?).

If/when it hits a critical mass of users, suddenly it will become a lot easier to justify the cost of implementation.

Hopefully tools like this can help get some sites to implement contributor or something like it so paying for access can get a foothold and become a viable option.

Why does everyone ignore the fact that employment at Amazon is voluntary? When the employee was hired, they made an agreement that the payment was a fair trade for the work to be done. If it turns out that the pay was not fair after all, which it sounds like it isn't, then the employee should simply stop working there, because Amazon isn't holding up their end of the bargain.

The reason this continues to be an issue is that the government is stepping in and saying "$7.25 per hour is what's fair, plus we'll provide food stamps, etc."

Amazon says, "this work isn't actually worth $7.25 to us, so we'll have to cut corners to keep growing since we're a publicly traded company."

So Amazon cuts out lunch breaks and whatever else to try to make the $7.25 back, and the employee is able to just barely scrape by with this crappy job because they're making $7.25 plus food stamps.
I live a few miles from a Walmart distribution warehouse, and had a good friend who worked there. It really started to affect his health.

OTOH we now have 4K screens on laptops where you don't really need antialiasing anymore. Maybe Nextspace is simply ahead of the curve here.
It really depends on the profession I think. Sometimes you're forced to work really long hours just based on your business.

For example a dentist might choose to work 3-4 days a week, but be open to seeing patients from 9am to 8pm to compensate for people unable to go during normal business hours due to their own work schedules.

Then again I think that business is a lot different than software development. Technically we could sit there and work on 1 thing for 12 hours, where as a dentist is hopping between patients and has a bunch of small breaks through out the day in between patients. It might not be "goof off time" breaks, but it's something that breaks up the day.
If radiation sickness is your concern, then you're better off replacing coal (which spews radioactive material into the air all day every day) with nuclear (which does not normally, and even with the very few nuclear disasters in Earth's history doesn't do so at anywhere near the scale of coal).
My team checks for types, not for null.

`const isString = myVar => typeof myVar !== 'string'`

This is more reusable and more idiomatic in my opinion than null/undefined checks
Remember that Newtonian concepts of gravity such as the equation g = Gm1m2/r^2 are only strictly valid within the Newtonian framework which, among other things, does assume that the effect of gravity is instantaneous. To derive accurate equations of motion under finite propagation speed of gravity, you need the machinery of general relativity. Of course, in mundane situations like the Earth-Sun system the two models give nigh identical results.
Do you think that branding is important?
I noticed a trend after working with several startups on branding projects.

Most of the founders have no idea about branding. Or they simply neglect to brand their business.

My question is: Why is that? Do you think that branding is not an important part of the business? Or is it because it all sounds vague and difficult to understand when someone explains it?
