Lot of generalizations and stupid assumptions in that video, like where he argues that of course the ballots will be uploaded over the internet without any authentication/checksum.

I don't see why a digital counting machine which is kept completely offline and is transported physically cannot be used, specially if we can verify it's counting functions by randomly verifying a few of those machines (also keep paper ballots, just use the machine to count ballots), or statistics, and use an external randomization/derandomization module.

Are you? Wouldn't you prefer that software vendors can support themselves selling the software, and thus be able to update it?
No mention of the rails:update rake task, which is a very valuable tool to get your boilerplate updated. I'm guessing at GitHub there is so much customization over the years that they wouldn't get much out of it, but it's still a valuable exercise to run through, and it's worthwhile to keep your boilerplate aligned as much as possible since it makes gems, documentation, and everything else more likely to align with shared community experience.

Also, I want to add a big proviso to the lesson "Upstream your tooling instead of rolling your own". Historically in ruby, and now even moreso in node, the ease of pushing new packages and the trendiness of the language at times has led to a lot of churn and abandoning of packages. The trick is to include stable dependencies, and that requires quite a bit of experience and tea-leaf reading to do right. Often times maintaining your own stripped down internal lib can be a performance and maintenance cost win over including a larger batteries-included lib that ends up being poorly supported over time. For example, a lot of people got burned by using the state_machine gem that at one time was very hot and actively maintained but went on to get left in an aggressive limbo (https://github.com/pluginaweek/state_machine).

Using the conditional boot loading, aren’t there structural differences in ActiveRecord queries/scopes that would run under 3.2 but not 5.2?

Did GH just rewrite those scopes in their respective models and maintain a ton of if/else blocks for the different versions? And if so, didn’t they run into issues without the code not being DRY, e.g. someone fixes a 3.2 query, but not the corresponding 5.2 version?

Pence, pounds, and guineas were actually three independent monetary systems: copper, silver, and gold. This reflects other multi-metallic monetary standards, including Rome (Ag, Cu, Au), and China (silver, gold, copper/bronze, and iron, as well as several fiat regimes).

These correspond, roughly, to retail, wholesale, and financial (banking, government) commerce.

It's helpful to recognise that virtualy all names for money refer to either weight (penny, pound, shekel, drachma ...) or some impramateur of quality (royal, crown, mark, dollar, ...). Another set are based on divisions (denarius, dinar, dime, ...).

In the English system, the silver pound was 240 pennyweights, wth subdivisions corresponding;

Farthing: 1/4 penny, 1/960£

Happenny: 1/2 penny, 1/480£

Pence: 1/240£

Tuppence: 1/120£

Thruppence: 1/90£

Sixpence: 1/40£

Shilling (bob): 12d, 1/20£

Florin: 24d, 1/10£

Half crown: 30p, Florin 6d, 1/8£

10 Bob: 120p, 4 Half crowns, 1/2£

The system is designed to prevent (certain) people from voting. So while a national holiday would make sense in the abstract, it goes contrary to the goals of those who make the laws.

As much as electronic voting has its issues, it allows for quick counting and would allow for more fairer ways of voting, like priority lists (I mean, you could do that using paper, but it is a PITA and very subject to mistakes)

> It doesn't take into account that the Northern Ireland is really a problem of the EU.

As somoene who grew up in the UK with the IRA blowing up bits of the country, some rather close to me, I disagree. It's likely that the communities that would be split by a new border in Ireland would disagree too.

The EU is negotiating in it's best interests, as is the UK. There aren't going to be any favours traded on either side.
If this had an actual impact on the election you would see one side push for changing the day as a strategy if they are more popular in the poorer populations than their opponent. Republicans would definitely want this more now considering Donald Trump's voter base was mostly lower income people. Same could be said for Barack Obama during 2014.

This actually a bad idea: The reason for in person voting is poll monitors there are watching to make sure nobody knows how you voted.

There are have been cases of "vote for me or I'll break your legs". When you vote from home someone can come by and watch you mail your vote the "correct" way in.

The HN consensus seems to be that digital voting is very difficult to do right. I trust the consensus opinion, but this also makes me sad. The bigger picture that I think we’re missing here is the opportunity for huge-scale direct democracy. I know the usual debates against DD, but I think there’s ways to safeguard against those problems. E.g. you can’t vote on an issue without hearing both sides of it and passing a test that demonstrates that you understand the pros and cons of each side. Idealistic, I know, but I’m a firm believer that most people act more responsibly when you give them more responsibility.

People work on national holidays, though.

I assume there is some correlation between people who are unlikely to receive paid time off for voting and people that have to work on unusual days, so I'm not sure changing what day Election Day falls on will fix anything.

The solution is to mandate that employers give you a couple of paid hours off on Election Day. I would be surprised if this was not already the case in several states.

States can also help out by keeping the polls open for longer hours, so that someone who has to work an 8 hour shift has plenty of time on either side of their workday to go vote. (Last primary, I forgot in the morning, then worked late... and still had plenty of time to vote after work. The same is not true in every state.)
It's a cool idea, but when you sick it on something that uses numpy, a very common use case that people would want, it basically dies.
As funny as this opinion piece is, it is still just that: an opinion piece.

I highly suggest people read the SEC filing for yourself, without bias, if you want to see the SEC's point of view on this.

With that being said, this opinion piece collates a bunch of news that happened yesterday, and can provide context to what is going on. But I still feel like the SEC's filing is the best primary source document to this TSLA news event. Besides, the "meat" of this opinion writer is purely copy/paste quotes from the SEC document.

I trust good digital voting systems more than a paper ballot.

Specifically, the system should be auditable in a way that makes it difficult to trace individual votes back to voters, but allows individual voters to verify that their votes are counted correctly.

There must be a good way to accomplish this while also addressing potential voter fraud. Does anybody know of any research in this area?

With paper ballots, I have no way of knowing whether or not my vote was counted correctly. And I find that really unsettling.

This is only true in cases where a single ownership model makes sense. In cases where it doesn't, there is a definite overhead. I think even the strongest Rust advocates would not deny the existence of this overhead. They'd just point out that you'd have the same overhead in C++, but without the compiler helpfully telling you when you've made a mistake.

I'd also add that there are (small) warts on Rust's current implementation of borrow checking which everyone agrees are minor annoyances, even to experienced users:

People get confused when they read or watch movies or books from the time, because the majority of them focus on the 1% of the intellectual elite.

I live in Colorado.

A couple of weeks before the midterms I'm going to get a packet in the mail containing my ballot, instructions for filling it out, a pamphlet where every candidate on the ballot gets a paragraph or two to make their case, and a prepaid return envelope. I fill out my ballot at my leisure, stuff it in the envelope, sign the envelope underneath the flap, and drop it in a mailbox. There's a receipt with an anonymous serial number in the packet that I can go online and use to verify my ballot has been received. If I'm worried about missing the deadline there are also dropboxes in most government buildings I can drop my ballot in up through the day of the election, along with a few traditional polling places open on election day.

Voter turnout here is about twelve points above the national average.
