>My main criticism is that as it is it could still feed the card with the wrong vote to sign. The (state-provided) USB reader should have a small lcd screen to sum up the thing being signed "Vote for Ms.Ryjavik on election #123" "Vote for Yes on vote #432" and a confirmation button.

You can check who you cast your vote for through online voting. You can do it 3 times for half an hour after you voting. You cast your vote on a PC and at the end the voting software shows you a QR code. You can then use an app on your phone provided by the government to check who your vote was counted for.

Essentially, Estonia gives 44% influence of their country to a system that cannot be verified to have almost any relation to what people actually have voted for. The people have will just look at the results and have to think "well, I hope weren't hacked this time" and move on.

Did you notice any improvement on this in the Key2?

I have the KeyOne and while I love the feature and it works somewhere between OK and excellent, I have trouble correctly using the typing-oriented gestures (auto complete, delete word). I end up avoiding them because I just can't make them work with near 100% accuracy (accuracy being one of the main points of a physical keyboard to me).

I thought you'd still need to reboot on Windows? Last time I tried to do any changes to the system partition I had to reboot for it to take effect.

If this is still the case then it's not really a far comparison to Windows because you could then do the same thing from a boot media in Linux (ie boot into it, resize and you're done). In fact you probably could also do that via a GUI (maybe gparted?).

In any case I do agree that Linux does still leave a lot to be desired when it comes to making some of the more advanced file system operations far more complicated for end users than they need to be.
To be honest I think lots of systems in the body are working less well over time?

Changing the CEO's attitude is indeed impossible, even with multiple people that he respects.

If you are seen as a replaceable work horse, you lose a lot of leverage indeed.

Here in Belgium there is a huge shortage of software developers, which places the programmers in a stronger position than the companies.

I can leave a company and instantly get the same or a higher pay somewhere else.

A company on the other hand, first has to find somebody, and then still overpay the first few months before the new employee becomes productive. From that point it's a bad position to be in.

They are wrapped in plastic so they can source them from even farther away, where it's is even cheaper. So the entire supply chain gets longer and less efficient (pollution, energy, and sustainability-wise) because it is cheaper for producers. In short, more profit. This is capitalism.

Worth pointing out that the FAA bought Boeing's claim that the 737 MAX 8, 9 did not require a new type certificate, and so did EASA. However, from what I gather, the Brazilian regulator deemed the MAX with MCAS sufficiently different from prior generations.

So, there is some regulatory independence.

Well, no they the main proponents of e-voting figured a long time ago that it's easier to eliminate those concerns using propaganda. For example if you are against e-voting media will brand you as a backwards russkie who hates Estonia.
Not needed anymore since DO supports custom OS images now but I found this script quite interesting, setting up a "blockplan" and applying it from a minimal root FS in RAM to entirely replace a Debian OS with an ArchLinux install unattended and without rebooting (except as a very last step to actually boot into the Arch kernel using the replaced GRUB2)

https://github.com/gh2o/digitalocean-debian-to-arch#how-it-w...

I forked it to try and convert Debian installs from ext4 to btrfs. Unfortunately while it does work, that's a very bad idea since btrfs-convert produces a fs that fails to operate properly on the long run (IIRC there is - was? - some increasing random space usage that cannot be reclaimed, ever).

https://github.com/lloeki/digitalocean-ext4-to-btrfs/blob/ma...

BTW, the process to convert to btrfs is excellent, only creating btrfs metadata in unallocated ext3 space, writing the btrfs header at the last minute, and using subvolumes allowing you to keep the ext3 metadata around as long as you want to roll back (obviously losing any subsequent modifications) because barring the header the whole ext filesystem and data is untouched.

https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Conversion_from_Ext3

I suppose Apple did something similar to convert from HFS+ to APFS so swiftly and so reliably.

Considering Estonia's history, paper voting isn't exactly amazing either. The Soviet era showed that election fraud happens anyway. The problem with paper voting is that mistakes in counting happen very often. During the election that just happened in Estonia officials wrote the candidate number into the box that said how many votes they got.[1]

In the 2016 US presidential election officials basically typod the election results in the town of Hazelhurst in Wisconsin, where almost half the votes went missing until a citizen volunteer noticed the mistake. The party officials nor election officials caught the mistake.[2]

If mistakes like that can happen then how often do they go unnoticed? How often are these mistakes deliberate?

Would crushing a melatonin pill and adding it to suncream work?
I understand what you're saying, but it's not just pedantry.

You do have to be specific about what you mean when you say "Ireland" in any context where it is important that you are understood.

"Ireland" can quite correctly either mean the island of Ireland or the country called Ireland (aka The Republic of Ireland). In a political or business context you are likely to be specifically referencing one or the other.
If the default option allows a fallback then yes, only split dns (where you get different results internal and externally) will be affected.

You keep deflecting from the original topic because you have nothing to say on my point, and are simple minded enough to think I don't see through this.

To your question: if I was an unfit parent, say an additct or abusive or schizophrenic, and maintained enough reflection to realize that, yes, absolutely. Otherwise there is no reason.

Now answer my question: are you really looking forward to wiping shit on an immobile incontinent patient for 15 years? Not asking if you would do that mind you, but if you dread thinking it.

OSI generally requires that the license steward/author submits the license for review if they want it to be approved.

Upon being asked about this by OSI President Simon Phipps, Kyle Mitchell responded that Blue Oak has no plans to seek approval (https://twitter.com/kemitchell/status/1104579340732264448). I would have found anything else surprising, given that last month Mitchell had this to say about the OSI (in the context of SSPL review):

> I've lost confidence in this body's ability to make rigorous decisions, or even facilitate focused debate, […]. So I've otherwise stopped responding, and focused my efforts where collective time and talent have hope of yielding practical results.

For fuck's sake, please don't post dangerously incorrect information.

1) Self-harm is the best predictor of death by suicide, so the fact that some people make a "suicide gesture" means their risk of death by suicide is significantly higher than the general population. By trivialising self harm (which is what you've done here) you further increase their risk of death.

2) The common methods of death by suicide in places without guns are i) hanging followed by ii) self-poisoning. Self-poisoning is very dangerous, and always requires emergency medical attention. The fact the US has an opioid crisis with huge numbers of people dying from overdose should be enough evidence.

3) Stop posting links to pro-suicide websites. Your actions kill people.

Online voting in elections has been around since 2005 in Estonia. I think you're making it seem worse than it is. On the other hand, I wish Estonia did not have online voting as well. There are some attack vectors you can't defend against.

There is a rift between people, where there are some who can do just about anything, but they lack great ideas (which makes them unhappy), and there are people who have many great ideas without the ability or determination to implement them (which makes them unhappy). People who can do both are really, really rare.

Both former kinds of people struggle in their own way. Daydreamers don't work, implementors can't dream. They plan, they invent, they struggle and fail. I wonder if there is any skill set behind that, at all. If you can learn to dream, or learn to just do it, at all.
The Case for an Older Woman: How Dating Preferences Change with Age
Agreed. I'd love to examine the map as of today, or 2021, say, in some detail and whoops - it's gone. Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, there - aaaand gone. No controls to stop it or skip to a specific year. Very annoying.
The law is not broken, it's just that no one has bothered enforcing it in the last few decades.

One reason is that much of the mainstream economic discipline has pronounced that antitrust is "a jumble of economic irrationality and ignorance." to quote Alan Greenspan.

As an example of how views changes is a quote from the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890:

> Every person who shall monopolize, or attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with any other person or persons, to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and, on conviction thereof, shall be punished by fine not exceeding $10,000,000 if a corporation, or, if any other person, $350,000, or by imprisonment not exceeding three years, or by both said punishments, in the discretion of the court.

But today, the business mode of almost every startup is to monopolize some part of the trade or commerce, preferably all around the world. The announce it publicly without any concern about antitrust enforcement.
Takeoff and landings are the most dangerous part of the flight though, so comparing based on number of flights may in fact be the salient metric.

Ask HN: Does a Linux distro that “just works” even exist?
I've been distro hopping for weeks, both on my desktop and laptop, in hope to find some magic distro that would just work out of the box like mainstream OSes like Windows and macOS do.
Maybe not the best strategy but honestly I don't really wish to spend hours to get the audio working just so I can move on and go fix the next issue.

I really want to use Linux for work so bad but all the issues I've encountered are setting me off:

1) Audio not working or distorted playback or recording
2) Not smooth animations and everything feeling jittery and laggy in general
3) Low battery life
4) Running jobs preventing the system shutdown for whathever reason on a fresh install

Also I've had problems with files management (eg: I once needed to copy a 1GB file to my USB drive, KDE showed an instant 100% progress but hanged there for minutes before I got frustrated and gave up) and window managment (eg: some programs are not maximed when I click on their icon in kde).

I've done everything in dual boot alongside Windows and, to be honest, booting back to Windows after trying a new distro made the difference really clear, Windows works much better out of the box. This is unfortunate because Windows will never provide the same development workspace that Linux can. But right now, it seems like the best solution is running an Ubuntu server VM.

Has anyone else experienced the same problems?
It's a problem of scale, convenience, hygiene, etc. "back in the day" stuff like paper bags or waxed paper was a lot more common, but the volumes were also much lower, the availability of luxuries like idk, takeaway food and soda was much lower, etc.

Going back will mean going to the market, getting fresh vegetables and potatoes and shit, and put them in either paper bags or reused burlap sacks. I think an individual's biggest contribution would already be changing their food habits; stuff like keto, primal diets, vegetarianism / veganism are a step in the good direction. Assuming you cook your own food, instead of idk, grabbing a McD's salad (in a plastic container) or pre-packaged vegetables (plastic bags).
I think in this context (cables landing on an Island called Ireland) we're ok to use simple terms and be understood.
