The biggest is that in real molecular dynamics simulation you need the position and velocity at the same time. If you want to calculate the total energy, for example, you need both positions and velocity at one time moment. It's not a big deal for a simple project to simply average the 'before' and 'after' velocities... but again, those are tiny details. There is the initial state issue, again, a tiny detail. You may find more...
I saw value in being able to confirm the public record matches what you did in the booth.

When you vote there would be a record of the registration Id voted for this particular election id. Information that you voted is already available... so this component is not a change to the system really.
> Members of the public will also be able to use the cryptographic values to independently tally the votes to verify the election results so that tabulating the votes isn't a closed process solely in the hands of election officials.

This sounds like they are using homomorphic encryption?
There is enough differentiation in virtual DOM designs[1] that I don't think implementing a lowest common denominator that is flexible enough to support competing strategies would be useful. Being a browser API it would need to be a rather timeless, low level design. Essentially, we already have that – the imperative DOM API.

With WASM the performance gap between libraries and native browser code will be reduced even further. Focusing on that has the benefit of lifting all boats, not just a particular DOM building paradigm that has been popular recently.

[1] Just some examples that come to mind:

- logic that decides when to update an element vs when to create a new one (including but not limited to having the concepts of components, thunks, deciding to look at class names, ability to move nodes, etc.)

- design of lifecycle methods and hooks, as well as any performance-oriented optimizations such as asynchronous / delayed rendering, short circuiting logic, etc.

- handling of props vs attributes vs reflected attributes
Yeah, absolutely. Especially coming from a modern software developers POV. I always think it would be fun to get into electronics, but it just seems so much to take in.

What sites could you sign into with a cryptographic second factor before Google launched U2F? All that was out there were easily-phishable TOTP tokens. Now you can register a security key and use it as a second factor on desktops and phones. It's pretty impressive, though unfortunate that ultimately the industry picked a similar-but-different standard.

What sites currently let me authenticate with WebAuthn? (Github still uses U2F, it seems.)
Does this mean I can finally use my Yubikey in Firefox on Linux as my second factor authentication with my Google accounts?

> in the brain

you focus only on single brain, when really we need to look at many trillions brains and experiments with complex reward function(real world): billion years of evolution * billions of various creatures born and died within every year.
All this giant sequence of experiments converged to current human brain.

In ML terms: to achieve result similar to human brain we need to run that many hyperparameter optimization trials. Or find some better shortcuts than human brain biological structure.
Unless you push out a bug that is triggered by some combination of events so distant from the release that you could never have caught it in testing. Perhaps a bizarre interaction between multiple unrelated systems from different vendors that all work tested in isolation and only fall over when a series of 1 bits in a certain pattern in the real time clock chip creates a blip on a bus that gets corrected in a way that was interpreted differently by two different teams and the fallback system tries to take over but the primary system comes back online at just the wrong time and trips a bus contention bug that was never seen because testing never hit this perfect storm of race conditions and, well, the front falls off.

The point of me making up a stupidly improbable story is that stupidly improbable events keep happening despite all the clever people in the world. And of course the people on hacker news who know even better.
Thanks :)

I've kept this project to myself and would only describe it occasionally to some coworkers and friends. I never thought that many people would find it cool. And always thought that people with more knowledge than me would find a lot of flaws.

Because of the reasons explained in the article - you can verify that your vote was recorded, and you can calculate the total yourself. There's also no need for recounts, it uses less labour and you know the result immediately.

No. Running a company is a more attractive experience for most employers than a degree, ESPECIALLY in a place like Stockholm.

About the other stuff, the guy is 31, there’s plenty of time. And I don’t think the question was even about that, it was about work wasn’t it?

Also, not that many people in Sweden will have saved hundreds of thousands at 31. I would say that most younger people with apartments in attractive areas borrow or received money for the down payment from their parents.

VNC over the internet is not pretty. Plus X Windows has to be installed on what might otherwise be a headless server. Windows is lightyears ahead of Linux on remote desktop, so it would probably be fine on that.

>All politics is identity politics.

Oh really? All politics is a matter of changing no policies or social structures at all, but instead pushing for "representation" of the voters' demographic groups among the tiny power elite? Or did you mean that all politics is a matter of antidiscrimination laws?

Your statement is a deepity: it can either be interpreted as meaningfully narrow, but false, or as true, but so broad as to be meaningless.
Tremendous improvement!

Thank you for sharing your hard work with the world.
More often than not, working seriously through vnc/remote desktop is miserable and a last resort. Some people don't seem to mind though. I'm curious if their productivity suffers? It works fine for checking on things, but it's a window-in-a-window, copy/paste never consistently works (no matter the server/client software), I haven't seen good solutions for audio, scaling/resolution, and bandwidth/latency vary greatly. It's made me get much better with ssh/terminal/vim and pushed me further away from an IDE. I can see a webapp being a decent compromise. I think most people are fine with Gdocs over Word/Excel.
I've always wanted to write. I started this year with the goal of writing one - two pages per day. I read somewhere that Stephen King shoots for six pages per day. My goal for this year is just to establish some kind of writing habit and produce any kind of manuscript at all. I like science fiction and fantasy.
I understand that, but I assume both of those are still "shallower" ways of resetting than actually switching computers, which I've done several times (for unrelated reasons ofc) and I've seen no improvement...
> Removing books from a "book" marketplace, that do not break any laws, aren't lewd or pornographic, and simply present alternative information on a subject, is not on the same level as spam.

From the Article: 'Wired magazine noted that Amazon is crowded with titles promoting unproven treatments for autism that include “sex, yoga, camel milk, electroconvulsive therapy, and veganism.”'

Removing books that contain outright lies isn't censorship. It's simple denying a platform for bald-faced liars to profit off misleading the public.
> The first will be a ballot-marking device that uses a touch-screen for voters to make their selections. That system won’t tabulate votes. Instead it will print out a paper ballot marked with the voter’s choices, so voters can review them before depositing them into an optical-scan machine that tabulates the votes.

That seems backwards. Touch screens suck. Why not build a validation machine that voters can feed manually-completed optical scan ballots into, before they go to the tabulator? Clear feedback would help catch incorrectly filled out votes before they're cast, no touch screen required.

The validation machine could have a very clear and user-friendly display, which candidate pictures are large type. That would definitely be easier to verify than a computer-generated optical scan ballot.
Friendly reminder that the definition of censorship is not limited to the government.

This isn't a reminder, it's an assertion that uses rhetoric to make itself sound more factual.
I live in the Raleigh-Durham, NC area and we heard Google Fiber was coming to the area around 2015.

A couple of months later Time Warner upgraded my cable modem speed from 15Mb to 50Mb download for the same monthly price.

Then 2 years ago AT&T came through my neighborhood installing fiber and turned it on 3 months later.

Google Fiber is concentrated in a few small areas. AT&T Fiber is expanding all over the area. I know 1 person with Google Fiber and about 15 with AT&T Fiber.

I would prefer Google over AT&T but the AT&T Fiber works and is reliable and Google is so slow at expanding that nobody cares anymore.

In this case Kindle is the platform and it’s far more dominant in its market than iOS is. The book publishers had to conform to Amazon’s terms.

https://www.dailyherald.com/article/20140608/business/140609...

The disagreement spilled into public view last month when Amazon tried to dissuade its customers from buying Hachette titles on its website, removing discounts from some books or delaying shipments by as much as five weeks when items typically ship within three to five days. By refusing to buckle under the pressure, Hachette is leading the charge for publishers' fight against Amazon.

That's incredibly fascinating. It seems counter-intuitive that a random placement would be superior to a more regular one. Does this merely optimize for minimal length of the datalines?
In Leapfrog we iterate

v <- v + a(x)dt
x <- x + vdt

With Euler initialisation this is equivalent to:

v <- v + a(x)dt/2
x <- x + vdt
v <- v + a(x)dt/2

(consider a sequence of steps: we'll have two v <- v + a(x)dt/2 updates next to each other, which gives v <- v + a(x)dt)

This is exactly the same as velocity verlet, if you substitute the value for v computed in the first update into the next two equations:

x <- x + (v + a(x)dt/2)dt
v <- (v + a(x_prev)dt/2) + a(x)dt/2

Wow, no surprise there. I'm sure you recognize how privileged you and your children are to be able to grow up this way.

One size fits all advice is necessary because it is not economically feasible to provide individual expert advice to every single person. Many people unfortunately use a phone/tablet as a cheaper form of child care ignoring the child as long as they are quite and entertained.
Congrats on the launch. The solution looks much simpler than https://www.angaza.com/ I guess. That said, angaza does a lot more than just offline keycode based payments. Do you plan to do similar things as well or stick to core payments experience?

I'd like to see a video or a how-to page, to be honest, that sells the simplicity... like one on angaza [0] but I'm not your target user by any stretch of imagination.

I do have some qualms around claims in the security section like

"Verified by Google APIs"

"Bank Grade Security"

"Your mobile PIN travels through your telecom's encrypted network"

"Create a NALA PIN in addition to mobile money PIN"

It'd not hurt to detail these claims in a more digestible manner instead of what looks like hand-wavvy sales checklist? Again, I'm not your target user.

On top of it, they weren't entirely truthful about how the block would be implemented. A couple text-only tumblrs I followed had long been voluntarily marked adult, and the announcement made it sound like they'd be in the clear.

Not only were they not, the implementation was to simply turn on the safe-mode filter and remove the setting to turn it off, while still allowing the adult content on subscribers' dashboards. So they had no idea they were blocked from the public until someone told them, since subscribers could still interact from that one page.

I expect it to continue to drop as more realize this.
I agree. I am very glad Yang is reaching the debates stage. Bernie comes from an Old Left tradition in which strengthening the working class just will solve our economic problems, because the underlying cause is diagnosed as being an imbalance of power towards the owning class over the working class. Yang prefers to look at technological change, which is itself an important structural factor that requires examination.

If you know a bunch about Yang, could you tell me: what's his diagnosis for why the automation revolution doesn't show up in productivity numbers?
Brian Acton and Palmer Luckey are not even close to the level of "high profile departure" as Chris Cox.

Acton and Luckey both joined Facebook in 2014 as part of multibillion dollar acquisitions. They are like hired mercenaries and were never on the inside, or even close. Chris Cox joined in 2005, fresh out of college. He has been a true believer and one of Zuck's most trusted lieutenants since almost day one.

Of the people who worked there early, like pre 2008, I am not aware of a single one who is outspoken in criticism of Facebook.
If you read the article that you're commenting on they make it pretty clear what this “inches under ground” thing means and why it matters.
When gmail was invite-only, the threaded collapsing feature was amazing and perfect for what I got my invite to do (roleplaying). Since then after innumerable redesigns and behavior changes, I don't even remember what the old behavior or look really was like, except I liked it and had fewer complaints. These days I'm annoyed that gmail doesn't collapse messages enough, i.e. the "random" threading or not threading of emails that seem like they ought to be part of the same thread (some seem only different by time). I get annoyed with their UI on multi-party emails. And you have a point about marking the whole thread as read when you didn't even scroll the wheel once, though you do have a number indication before drilling into it of how many message are there. Make the number bigger? If you try to reply it's also obvious there are more messages. At least it knows you read earlier messages in the thread and collapses them by default.

There's still a lot of improvements for mail UX. I don't expect google will be the one to make them, but maybe they'll copy the other people who do.
Hmm. First heading in the NHS fat guidance is "Why we need some fat", then a breakdown of what and why https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/eat-well/different-fats-nutriti... . A very balanced and well written document. As for a keto diet, it has a number of well documented and researched side effects the proponents forget to mention such as cognitive issues. On diets, most people are looking for ideologies rather than facts and those are easy to sell.

Fuck suspicious people. They're idiots. And you should point at them and make it known. Not only are they idiots but they are actively harming someone and that's a prime violation of the ethic of reciprocity. To allow harm to continue is as bad. Seriously bad. I know someone who's parents skipped the MMR vaccine, they got measles, lost their hearing permanently. That was totally avoidable and physical harm came to someone. Actual life-long disability. And there are LOTS of people who go through this.

If you put your arrogant self-interest in front of logic, data and research then the child will come to harm one day.

> As are studies showing that bugs are correlated with more lines of code.

Sure but do those same studies look at code with the same character count (ie longer but fewer lines) or are they just subtracting characters via subtracting lines. The ones I've seen were the latter in that they basically just said "less code == fewer bugs" - which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

> [single line code] is much more readable and strictly less error prone than [multi-line code]

You know, had you said that 10 years ago I'd have completely agreed with you. But these days I've read so much Go code that I now find the multi-line equivalent more readable simply because that's what I'm more used to reading these days. But we're not really talking about significant margins in either case. I mean you'd expect any developer to parse either statements with ease.

I will say that I have always hated reading the ternary operator - which is the preferred way of doing single line if statements in some languages. I'd take the multi-line approach over the :? syntax any day. However from a strictly artistic perspective, the single line version with bracketed blocks is the nicest looking. So I can completely understand why people would prefer that method. Honestly, if gofmt let me, I almost certainly would write code that way too.

> What makes more sense is: " some string ".TrimSpace()

Your now arguing the benefits of OOP over other paradigms and while I agree that Go's implementation of OOP is half-arsed at best(!!!) I still have no intention of entering into that kind of ideological debate. Sorry.

At many traffic light intersections, you can see where the trenches are used for inductive loop car sensors, with wire in them.

https://www.traffic-signal-design.com/vehicles_detected.htm

The trench is narrow, cut with a diamond saw, and the filler (tar?) doesn't come out.

The example photo of a failure in the article, showed a relatively wide trench, presumably width required for the microduct for blown/jetted fiber.

So maybe they used a trench that was too wide, and a filler that was unsuitable.

I have also seen microtrenchs used in New Zealand across private driveways (low traffic use).

I wonder how good the trials were of the filler? I sometimes see paint tests on the road (multiple lines of different product and different thicknesses, being tested by heavy, real traffic use).
