Why would California have joined a union of states where their votes mean 1/4 of Wyoming's?
It’s not an issue at all, the system does not regard popular vote by design.
useful infrastructure. I see plenty of vanity projects floating around, hate to see Germany implementing some.
The EC supports battleground states, NOT rural states. Maine is very rural, Florida is not, but Florida is where the campaigning occurred.

This distorts our national priorities. For example ethanol subsidies are so high because Iowa is a battleground state.

We could conduct a popular vote where a Wyoming resident gets 3x the vote of a California resident. This would be an enormous improvement over the EC and I would support it.
52Wh vs 64Wh and the claim of same battery life under a synthetic test while getting more power hungry with each generation?

Exact same position, but in a different metro area. I've decided to wait. My main deciding factor was if this going to be a "forever" home and I just don't think whatever I would be buying would be.

Interesting so if my BP crashes I should smoke or vape :-)

We currently have minority rule at the federal level. Is that better?
The EC is a check on populism, and very clearly still needed.
To get the benefits that you would get from such a union (whether they see those as benefits is up to them):

* access to single market and currency

* federal loans/money

* territory protection from other countries military intervention

* freedom of movement (including study, work, living, etc) within all the other states of the union

If states want to do some things differently that's why there are state level laws. If those states don't find that they have the right amount of freedom at the state level and think those benefits above matter less than being able to outvote 3:1 a citizen in California when it comes to presidential election then, I guess, they are free to leave the union?
Perhaps Rust, using Pin? I'm not entirely clear on the guarantees made there, perhaps an expert could weigh in on if that's a viable option?
Hmmm

1) Didn't the money also support causes and do what it was expected to do?

2) Isn't his predatory nature with this access only visible in hindsight? There are incentives not to be repeat offenders of the same kind of crime, let alone any crime as a prior convict.

3) What is the appropriate response here? Don't let any convicted felon try to redeem themselves via donations? Shut them out of capital based networking just like poorer convicts that need the workforce are shut out of it?

I don't see this is a valid response or a piece of a coordinated response. We should try to prosecute sexual assaulting maniacs better. But I'm open to you all's thoughts on this scenario and what I think the open questions are

I applaud that the author wants to try to use his voice to raise money for victims, this has nothing to do with having been a recipient of Epstein money previously, except for the possibility that the author's projects got funded and they were able to use that validation and project success to have a voice to begin with, instead of disappearing into the rat race of wage work like most of us.
> There is no conceivable logical reason why citizens in any particular state should have more or less say in such matters than those in any other.

So should we abolish the senate too? Not being snarky just wondering what those who support NPV think.
That's certainly fine for state-by-state issues, and it is the case for most of them, like state income tax, sales tax, most laws, etc. Unfortunately there's only one President, which is why this NPV issue concerns the presidential election and not anything else.
Great idea, maybe you could write a report on it.

Seriously, what is it going to matter what a few semi-anonymous comments on the internet are going to say? The news media has all the exposure and presumption of telling the truth, whereas people writing blogs and posting comments do not.
Is there any research on what other chemicals might be addictive?
Not a startup. Free service for schools, parents. Built by parents, community-run, not for profit.

I think the real problem is incentive: the school has no incentive to digitize the form - it is easy for them to just copy the old form and send it out each year. If we build a database of common forms and give parents/schools easy ways to digitize old forms, it gets them over the hurdle.

Plus, docusign, etc. don't build a structured database with the data to make it easy to access.

Exactly. I live in NYC. I still vote, but really it doesn't matter whom I vote for since there's an approximately 100% chance of New York's electoral votes going to the Democratic candidate. On the other hand, Kansas hasn't voted for a Democrat since Lyndon B. Johnson; I'm sure people there don't feel particularly enfranchised either.

A big problem no-one seems to talk about is 'consistency'. This is undervalued variable to capital intensive business.

All these supply and other issues are readily solvable with time/money but why would you when you don't know if these tariffs will double tomorrow, go away or stay as is for the next 6 years. Who will invest huge capital when a political whim seems likely to change the landscape at any point.

Nitpick all you want, a 16 year old cannot legally consent to prostitution.

And if they could, the laws would need to be rewritten, because that would make child rape legal.

Repeat after me: a 16 year old having sex with a 55 year old for money is child abuse.
The EC never fulfilled that function. Faithless electors have never changed the outcome of an election. The notion that the EC exists to ensure that popular sentiment doesn’t elect someone deeply unfit for the office was definitely disproven in the last election.
You do "or <parameter> IS NULL". It makes the query plan uncacheable or requiring a godly cache, but it's fine for searches.
The problem isn't that schools don't have options, it is that they don't have the incentive. The easy thing for them to do is just send out the same old paper forms. We need to build the template database and give parents the tools to do the form conversion.

Especially when I want to look up something later I have to search in 4 different places and hope their search isn't terrible. There was one short period of time where Gaim/Pidgin/Adium worked.

I understand the benefits, but I feel like the main reason these are viable is because email was ruined.
I very much understand the point of the electoral college and the point of the NPV movement. And I don't necessarily disagree that a constitutional amendment would be a better way to change the policy.

There are a couple of options for making a "deploy to Azure" button. Both rely on ARM templates (declarative, parameterized deployments powered by JSON files):

1. Follow the steps at https://deploy.azure.com. This one greases the wheels for linking from a GitHub repo README for code that can be deployed straight to an Azure web app - you can just link to the site and it gets the repo URL from the referer header and uses a premade template to deploy it. You can also provide your own templates with custom parameters.

2. Link to the Azure portal ARM template deployment wizard using a deeplink that preloads a template from a public URL. I've never seen any official documentation for this, but https://www.noelbundick.com/posts/deploying-arm-templates-fr... covers it.
Hi @dima_vm, we've found that users have really embraced the full SQL and reliability you get from TimescaleDB's approach leveraging PostgreSQL. But we're aware that its standard on-disk format can be more space intensive than others (although many do deploy with ZFS to trade-off some CPU for I/O).

Recognizing this, the engineering team has been hard at work bringing native compression to TimescaleDB, which is also in private beta right now.

Huge wins, but more details & performance numbers in a future blog post =)
Woops! Late answer.

~/ is backed up nightly and ~/.dotfiles is on github, have some other configs on there too that I don't keep in .dotfiles, not that it matters.

The remember part is just that it doesn't really do any difference in the end, I will install what I need when I need it anyway, the important part is to keep the config that I have spent hours and days making mine. :)
This.

I have a little bit of experience with almost everything, so my resume is all over the place — consequently, its very difficult for me to get a job. It doesn't help either that companies usually don't usually define what they're looking for well.

Recently, a friend referred me to an iOS job. In the call though, they really told me they were mostly looking for embedded C++ and someone who could dabble in iOS. So, I prepared for the wrong interview. Now all of these things are on my resume, but, I haven't done any serious iOS in 4 years, and the last time I seriously used C++ was in college.

My interviews always go like this-- because technology X is on my resume, the resident X expert grills me, and correctly concludes I'm only somewhat familiar with it.

The only people to get me were Disney Research. They went about it the opposite way, "What can you bring to the team?" Despite ultimately not being quite right for the position, they wanted to everything from could I weld, could I 3d print, could I 3d model, could I sew? It was absolutely refreshing. I got tell them about a lot of orthogonal skillsets.

However, I've concluded I need to pick a specialty or a new career.

Hey Erik, thanks for the post. In this vision, would this cluster of servers be reserved exclusively for timeseries data, or do you imagine it containing other ordinary tables as well?

We're using postgres presently for some IoT, B2B applications, and the timeseries tables are a half dozen orders of magnitude larger than the other tables in our application. Certain database operations, like updates, take a very long time because of this. I've wondered if by splitting the timeseries tables onto their own server I could handle updates independently, with the main app gracefully handling the timeseries DB being offline for some period of time.

It's more than just about downtime though. If through poor querying or other issues the timeseries db is overloaded the customer impact of the slow down would be limited.
There's research that the heat alone in some forms of abuse of smoking things can cause lung issues.

The difference I've found with vaping is both a) I use a very cool setting so it's not nearly as hot as a cigarette (which you can't control the temperature of) and b) I used far less nicotine, starting from 24mg->3mg in the course of a year.

I can easily stop vaping for days at a time now without having a strong pang of nicotine dependency which I used to have.
"For a fictional portrait to be actionable, it must be so accurate that a reader of the book would have no problem linking the two," said Mr. Friedman. Thus, he continued, libel lawyers have what is known as "the small penis rule". One way authors can protect themselves from libel suits is to say that a character has a small penis, Mr. Friedman said. "Now no male is going to come forward and say, 'That character with a very small penis, that's me!'"

Genius! I wonder if there are other similar rules out there that I am not aware of?
So... the EC empowers the states, but the states shouldn't have power?
I've been eyeing TimescaleDB at a distance for some time now. I'm curious if you have seen it used in finance as an alternative to KDB+ installations anywhere?

Have you thought to release any benchmarks against KDB+?

> "Rural issues" do not deserve special protection if that protection results in a tyranny of the minority.

"Tyranny of the minority" gets this issue exactly backwards. The problem the Electoral College was designed to mitigate is a tyranny of the majority.

> Why are the concerns of the people living in LAC less important than the concerns of the people in Nevada or Arkansas? What is it about their geography that makes their issues unimportant?

Why do any of these concerns need Federal intervention to solve? Why can't LAC and Arkansas and Nevada manage their own affairs? I understand rare emergencies like natural disasters require pooling national resources, but everyone talks now as if no locality at all can survive from day to day without Federal benefits.
In the US they were rural. The founders and early lawmakers took much inspiration from the histories and travails of other governments around the world.

It would be unfortunate if states felt they wanted to secede because their citizens were given the same political influence over presidential election as citizens of other states.
Since Valve stopped producing games, I wonder what their net income per employee is based on assets they own less revenue produced by third-parties through Steam.

I've been developing apps for the school systems for years now. There are existing systems that can handle their forms. The tech isn't the problem. Implementation, and making it easy for all levels of staff in a district to use are the challenges you would need to resolve. Sending papers home with kids and getting completed papers back is archaic and unreliable... but easy on teachers.

Also, keep in mind that not all families have computers. Not all parents have email. A solution that doesn't work for the low income, or homeless children, is a non-starter.

The idea is good... I'm not trying to discourage it. Just that the problems that need solved likely are not what you think they are.
>An argument I heard recently against this is, if abolished, politicians won't have incentives to campaign in rural territories, and they won't be accountable to rural territories. That basically makes sense. The EC is the only thing that really gives rural territories any stake, as the majority population has shifted to larger urban centers.

With the modern ratio of the voting to the total populations being about the same across rural and city populations the EC doesn't do that much for the rural territories. The EC was specifically made to give huge political weight to the very specific rural demography back then - plantation owners in the South states - i.e. the time and place of extremely low ratio of voting to total populations. Without EC the south states would back then have political weight of about 0, ie. equal to its share of voting population - white male landowners; with EC - the political weight of those states was its share of all the white population plus 3/5 of the slaves.

Of course with universal voting rights and slavery abolishment the EC is just an obsolete undemocratic remnant of those old times.

Why not? You have one life to live, and laws certainly impact it. If you’re a young adult interested in having children, and not blessed with working at the handful of companies with generous parental leave laws, why live in a state that doesn’t have paid parental leave laws? Or if you want access to assisted suicide, or marijuana, or abortion, or proper sex education for kids, etc.
>>Wyoming would still have a state legislature - I am not sure I see your point.

It means that California would have more influence at the federal level than it does now. And since federal laws apply to all states it means that indirectly California would have more influence on Wyoming.
No, but again, it means you don't get to play the "I didn't know anything" card later.
Which would be the case if the tariffs were China-only, but the current presidential administration is enacting tariffs on many other countries, like Mexico, Brazil, and S Korea.

Also, the upcoming Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) meeting in November could be used by China to unify most of APAC against the U.S. The U.S. TPP was a blocking move to prevent the RCEP, which in it's current form covers half the world's economy (India, China, and others).

Negotiations for RCEP have been slow but with the U.S. now burning trade bridges with it's partners, we're probably going to see something interesting happen in November.
It depends on if by "immutable" you mean the only operation you are performing on the dataset are reads.

Writes is a catch-all term usually used to describe either updates or inserts. If you are inserting new data and a single chunk is hot because a you are inserting a lot of data into it, then replicating won't help. You can imagine a scenario like a single device is going haywire and starts sending you a ton of data points.

If you are only performing reads on your dataset, then replicating will only improve performance.
Yeah, the mortality rate of people in this condition (resting O2 levels in the 60-70%) is probably at least 50% 1-year mortality (half will die in the next year).

Which is not exactly the population this paper is trying to shed light on, but thanks for sharing his experience.
Do you really think I would argue that is well-intentioned—no matter what company it is? Did my comment really leave the impression I’d give that a thumbs up? Companies shouldn’t be permitted to do that, regardless of their product—so fine them exorbitantly, and let’s do the same to the morons who accepted such a proposal while we’re at it. What I’m pointing out is this is standard behavior for corporations, and nobody does a thing to go after them or their profits when they behave badly—instead, people use this for lame think-of-the-children arguments against the products, calling for public bans, suggesting we force adults to get prescriptions for an e-cig, when what we ought to do is aggressively go after the bad corporate behavior—or make it illegal to manufacture and sell things if we don’t like them. But in the case of e-cigs, let’s start with cigarettes first, or admit we aren’t going to ever do that, move onto more productive conversations, and stop acting like e-cigs and actual tobacco products are at all equivalent—aside from the very narrow category of nicotine-delivery device.

Out of curiosity, are most people that use ecigs going for the expensive mods, or are they going for the more popular brands that are closer in quality to the epuffer?
This is known as the "Winner take-all effect". The electoral college also has a small-state bias (smaller states get more electoral votes per person than larger ones).

Historically, these two have often approximately cancelled eachother out as they favored opposite parties. But there's no guarantee of that - when Reagan won with 58.8% of the popular vote, he took 97.5% of the electoral vote.

Similarly, sometimes the small state bias is a substantially stronger effect: when Trump won with 56% of the electoral vote, he had only 46% of the popular vote, largely due to Clinton's higher "wasted" margin of victory in larger winner-take-all states.
So those people in California are citizens just like you who pay the same federal taxes and have the same rights yet when it comes to voting for the President they do not have have those same rights. It might be annoying to us that they are all "liberals" or whatever you like to brand them with but they are people with equal rights and deserve equal vote. If it means that the majority of the country is made of these "liberals" that we dislike or disagree with then so be it, but that's what it means to have a representative democracy.
