I can't see a way of that working without breaking down somehow:

- If every time you vote you get a receipt for that vote that can be checked if it's still valid then you can send that receipt to the buyer and he can then check that your vote is still according to his purchase
- If you can only check that the receipt was registered but not if it's still valid you can't check that your vote was correctly counted because you don't know if the vote has been changed after in multiple possible ways
- If you can check that the vote actually is for candidate A at any time you can sell that access to the buyer for him to confirm
- If the only way to avoid all this is to also cast an actually secret vote on election day the buyer now just needs to make sure you don't go to the polling place. Posting spotters at the door is not too hard.

I don't see a way for you to actually be able to confirm your vote was counted and not having at the same time the ability to sell your vote in a verifiable way. Perfect verification isn't needed either. If you're selling your vote to the mob you'll have second thoughts about failing to deliver. If you make the process easier "honest" sellers will create the market.

> Note that frauding vote buyers this way is also possible in most election systems that have non-digital preliminaries.

Most I know are actually harder because you only get the single mail-in ballot so you can't do the double or triple voting. If you can show up on the day and invalidate your mail-in then part of same can be done. Depending on how the invalidation of the mail-in is done it can be even sketchier. But I don't consider mail-in and absentee paper votes to have enough security guarantees either way. Paper ballots, in a box, counted by adversaries is the gold standard. Everything else has a high burden of proof.
I'm glad you at least phrased it as a question rather than as an assertion then! There is little more infuriating than a *nix fan blasting Windows in 2019 based on their experience with it 15 years ago.

> Especially when it's a new aircraft, perhaps pilots need time to adjust, same as when you and I get in to a new car, it may have different response when you hit the gas, different mirrors, different sounds, different steering wheel sensitivity, etc.

This again pushes the blame back onto Boeing who insisted pilots didn't need to be retrained / trained up against this model aircraft as it would've meant extra expenditure by the airlines.

I have a hard time grasping this concern. How your codebase ends up depends on how you set it up. The introduction of hooks doesn't magically replace half of your class components with functions using hooks. You can introduce them when and how you want to introduce them.

On the other hand, people who are fine with having state managed both via class components and via hooks (and why shouldn't they be?) can gradually introduce the concept and refactor existing components as needed, if and when they see some advantage in using hooks at all.

If you don't want milk with your coffee, it's not a problem that there's a pitcher of milk at the table.
Like other commenters added: it's not the 737 that has been flying for 4+ decades, this is a new update to the 737 that has been flying for less than 2 years, this version has had 2 catastrophic accidents since its first delivery on May 2017.

Flying is safe because we had the time to learn from past accidents and create safeguards around their failures, this could be a new kind of failure we haven't been prepared for and if so there is a potential for risks higher than the usual.
Randomly initialized life quickly collapses
into stable structures, most of the time.

Is this true? That would be a very profound finding. Any papers that discuss this?

Looking at a random game of life with 10^6 cells, I get the feeling that it will not loop for a long time.

Maybe it is a misunderstanding. I do not mean to find a self-replicator of size c in a field of size c. I would expect that the field is big. Very big. Let's say 10^80 cells. That is the estimate for the number of atoms in the universe. The self replicator would be way way smaller. One manually constructed replicator (Gemini) is just 10^7 cells. And that is certainly not the smallest replicator possible.
I’ve been using React for almost 4 years straight - I couldn’t disagree more. Hooks are incredibly useful in removing things that pollute the component tree like higher order components or components with render props which are hard to visually parse. If you have a common state pattern that multiple components use, there’s no good way to share that pattern without one of the solutions I just mentioned.. and hooks are by far the cleanest way to do that. Avoiding prop drilling is so easy with something like useContext.

And hooks are always called.. there is no “maybe” when using them.

> using tax money to directly fund his lavish lifestyle

I am trying to find references for this lavish lifestyle claim. His Wikipedia entry says

"His home and office at Azizia was a bunker designed by West German engineers, while the rest of his family lived in a large two-story building. Within the compound were also two tennis courts, a soccer field, several gardens, camels, and a Bedouin tent in which he entertained guests. In the 1980s, his lifestyle was considered modest in comparison to those of many other Arab leaders."

I guess it's hard to say whether this amounts to a "lavish lifestyle" for a dictator.
That's always been my impression of the US. Cultures seem ridiculously segregated - voluntarily. And that applies to hobbies and interests as much as it applies to race and politics.

It's not that people don't mix, it's more that they define their identities by multiple tribal affiliations. And "tribal" doesn't just mean race, it means anything from Mac vs PC vs Linux, to frat houses, to financial traders, to progressive academics, to LARPers, to indie musicians, to YC applicants.

Plus the usual political camps.

There's a patchwork of scenes and monocultures which don't seem to have much to do with each other - which is a different and less permeable dynamic to just being interested in something, or working in some field.
777 with Malaysia Airlines. But in one case it was highjacking by the pilot and in other anti aircraft missile. But it was not problems with the airplanes per se.

Maybe you missed the point of the article. The author is describing a common issue where people have lots of ideas, plan them out in their heads and get the reward in form of pleasure (anticipation of success, power, beauty, anything). They don't imagine or plan actually doing the work, they plan for wonderful outcomes. They never do what's necessary and become quite frustrated, not knowing why. There was even psychological research into this phenomenon if I recall correctly , and it yielded the somewhat surprising result that this is a strong habitual behavior and thus fairly hard to change.
> does Trump own the American Treasury

No, Congress controls that, and they're elected by the American people, who ultimately own it.

Here's a more interesting example: https://www.thecrownestate.co.uk/en-gb/resources/faqs/

> The Crown Estate belongs to the reigning monarch 'in right of The Crown', that is, it is owned by the monarch for the duration of their reign, by virtue of their accession to the throne. But it is not the private property of the monarch - it cannot be sold by the monarch, nor do revenues from it belong to the monarch.

I agree 100%. I think hooks turn pure components into their impure cousins which will eventually make following state changes a nightmare.

You keep dropping the second sentence of my reply to keep arguing your strawman:

Noone puts their folks to elders home just for fun of it, I thought that much is clear. The freaking article we discuss here describes demented, incontinent elderly, yet you prefer to ingore the context.

Regarding "unrealistic" scenarios, I know people who lived through what I described (and worse).

Now, you did not answer my question, which is outright rude. I am not in an interrogation here, questions go both ways. Now of course I know your answer already, and it's uncomfortable enough for you to keep deflecting. But if you are unwilling to face it, this conversation is over.

Haven't tested, but it looks interesting.
What a waste. You can buy premade 300mcg melatonin pills for $0.03/pill (Sundown Naturals on iHerb), so the time you spend measuring melatonin yourself is just wasted time.
Note that the codeine you can buy OTC is very weak, and compounded with paracetamol (acetaminophen).

> The later arrival of Europeans in the region was the final nail in the empire's coffin.

> :( Of course

We're talking here about an empire that tracked 12,000 slaves both ways across the Sahara. Most regions the Europeans colonized were plenty capable of inflicting the suffering on their people that the Europeans managed, the Europeans just industrialized the practices.
In a way, they are merely syntactical sugar.

I agree with the parent poster. Before, you had functional stateless components. Now you have components that look functional and stateless, but are in fact stateful (and impure).

Thank you for making me double-check, you're right that ZFS can't shrink volumes but you can use resize2fs to shrink EXT2+ volumes offline relatively easily, see for instance https://blog.shadypixel.com/how-to-shrink-an-lvm-volume-safe... for a LVM + EXT example. What makes you say that it's poorly tested exactly?

Of course if you want to shrink the rootfs without rebooting you'll have to do it while mounted and I'm not sure if that's supported by any Linux FS out there (outside of NFS I suppose). That being said I think that's understandable, implementing resizing of a live FS seems very tricky to get right and not extremely useful IMO.

Can Windows really let you shrink NTFS while mounted? That's a pretty impressive feat if that's true, I wonder what motivated that.
Also, a lot of the XHCI hardware is itself buggy. Linux has so many workarounds for different issues with XHCI host controllers that they had to increase the flags variable indicating which needed to be enabled to 64 bits because they'd run out of bits: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10421969/

The problem is not the questionable safety record. The problem are the latest revisions 8 - 10 of the flight software, which enabled the new anti-stall feature by default automatically.

Previously anti-stall just signaled a warning, now it automatically turns the nose down, fighting the pilots attempt to ascend the machine after a start.

This is a serious security defect.

#1 anti-stall being fooled by some strong AOA sensor signal on initial ascend. This is not a stall, this a normal start procedure.

#2 anti-stall turned on by default automatically.

This already caused two major crashes with zero survivors. The attempt to blame the pilots not reading the updated documentation is also criminal behavior. Boeing might go bankrupt over this. I hope so.

First relevant looking link I found on Google:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-libya-gaddafi-homes/aband...
> Why? Because 2 737s went down in the past few years?

In last 6 months, to be more factual.

2 brand new aircraft of the latest model went down shortly after take off in less than 6 months. That is not normal and a proper investigation needs to take place. Until the investigation is done and it is proven that both of these crashes where just freak incidents and not caused by design flaw of the plane the planes should be grounded.
Eh, this works fine (on Python 2.7):

class A(object):
def foo(self):
return 'foo'

a = A()
a.foo() # returns 'foo'
a.__class__.foo = lambda self: 'bar'
A().foo() # new instance (!) returns 'bar'

You're correct for list ("TypeError: can't set attributes of built-in/extension type 'list'"), but that's more a implementation limitation than a principled stance.

This is getting borderline pedantic, lol.

This is the first time I dropped the second sentence. I've only quoted it twice and I quoted it fully the first time.

I tried to answer your question by trying to inform you that the scenario your painting is incredibly, incredibly unrealistic.

I also feel that the context of the argument changes when you take into consideration what my top-most statement was.

I was expressing disbelief at the prevalence of old-age homes in western civilization. I took the article as a way to express that sentiment.

I acknowledge that dementia can be rough, and even I have had one or two extended family members who have gone through the same. My own grandfather passed away from Alzheimer's and yes, the last year was difficult. I'm not uncomfortable to face the question. What is a hypothetical to you was a brief reality to me. I'm just trying to make you see things from a different perspective.

All I was trying to do was to understand what I felt was a dissonance in your world view w.r.t how we treat our children vs. how we treat our parents with regards to professional care. That's all.

EDIT: The only reason I omitted the daughter-in-law statement is because it paints you in a poor light if you think that it's her duty to take care of aging in-laws. It came off as a bit sexist and I didn't want to derail the conversation.
> watch as people put their ballots in

This is not allowed in many jurisdictions. You can watch the before and after part easily, though.
Sometimes I need to create the props at a different level/location and not directly on the component. The interface for the (class component) props is then very useful.
10ms is way too long. Think about 3D graphics drawn at 60fps. That's 16ms you get for each frame. But 3D graphics calculates a LOT of stuff for your whole game in that time.

In trading you're not calculating nearly as much stuff.

In trading it's probably very sharp, the line between making and losing money. You want to be under 100us for sure. That's micros. Depends on what you're doing of course but 10ms is OOM to slow.
As far as I know, most airlines are seeing the 737-MAX 8 and its predecessor, the 737-800, as interchangeable (or they did until yesterday), so I doubt they will be able to say with certainty which aircraft type will operate a given flight...
I saw it mentioned on HN at least 12 mos ago. What is the story behind it? Does not appear to use Google or Bing.

In a way, it has the effect of being something like "AMP" before that project was started: a way to encourage or filter for smaller, faster webpages (but even better, without the injected advertising).
I rewrote my side project (https://robojs.com) from Typescript/Redux/React (class based components) to Typescript/Mobx/React (hooks) in less than a week. The process was really simple (mostly deleting code). In the end the source code is so much smaller (at least 50%), simpler, easier to read and reason about, largely because of Mobx, however hooks is so much nicer to work with compared to class components, and I doubt that I would ever want to go back.
This is not a planet-scale phenomenon, though. Any student of geography would know that as nations become more mature their birth rates stabilize to more or less match the death rate. It is the less-developed countries that would suffer first in a world where our planet can no longer support our population, in which case I would expect that either they would go to war with each other over whatever resources can be taken from each other (and also reducing their populations in the process) or else face starvation (again, reducing population). Either way there's a large difference between starvation and saturation. The human race is not endangered by the fact that we'll soon saturate our planet, and those that do starve as a result would simply join a long line of people who have already met the same fate.
>It's far more generic but also practically useless for an end-user.

Do end-users really mess with partitioning usually (outside of formatting brand new disks I suppose)? I'm not asking rhetorically, I suppose there must be a use case if MS implemented this (tricky) feature but I can't really imagine any of my non-techies friends and relative decide to shrink a partition (actually most of them probably aren't aware of the concept of partition in the first place).

I'm mostly backend developer like you. I experiment a lot to find something looking good!
There are probably many factors, but there seems to be too little negotiating power on the demand side, even with the bigger insurances. And I assume the bigger buyers are getting better prices, right? Are those buyers bigger by the number of insured members or just according to expense volume?

Again, mostly the government should tell the industry to knock it off, mainly by empowering the demand side rather than the supply side.
I doubt it. Finding problems in e.g. a small-sample, 22-month study is one thing, finding problems in studies that cover entire nations over several decades is quite another.
They asked a permission and for me to fill a form so that they could remote connect to my NAS, and after investigating gave me on the support chat/list thingy the commands that they thought would fix it but they wouldn't run them themselves. Ended up working (issue was that a power failure happened during a shr2 reshape, and while the lvm volume had recovered mdadm hadn't and was blocked in a failed reshape loop, since it was a mix of mdadm and synology's own shr2 [which uses lvm to achieve its goal] trying to find help on the internet was next to impossible, which is why without them I would have wiped the whole thing).

Was as a personnal customer and no paid support (beside having bought the product of course), within the second year of my purchase. Overall I've had a fair amount of support requests with them for my personnal NASes and the couple dozen I manage for professionnal purpose, and I'm very happy with that relationship.

PS: my original support request was very detailled though, I did not just go and ask "doesn't work, fix it !"
The point of view that I'm attacking, whether it is shared by some of the parents or not, is "I don't know where I am, and I don't care, all that matters is that I am inconvenienced by X, and therefore X is bad". If someone were to ride a road bicycle through a mountain trail, and complain about it not being paved, I'd be similarly aching to ask "maybe you're the problem?".
