> No, that was not the point, why do people keep saying this? The framers were very open about the purpose. They thought that the average voter could not be trusted to choose a president, and that a direct election would result in "tumult and disorder". Instead, the decision would be made by "men most capable of analyzing the qualities adapted to the station", who would not be so easily swayed by the "heats and ferments" of the people.

That was part of the purpose; a part that we have since mostly neutered. But the number of electors was definitely chosen to compromise between small and large (population) states.

Senate representation is apportioned constantly per state. House representation is apportioned approximately proportional to population. The electoral college is a compromise (sum) of these too.

States have gotten to choose how to select their electors, and most have chosen winner-take-all (in part because this is a strategy that is strategically powerful). So it remains a forum of state-chosen electors, with a weight that is a compromise between per-state and per-population representation, like it has always been.
It's not just my point of view - it's well known in the research community, and has been for decades.

For FOSS, have a look at MonetDB. For research-oriented systems, look for publications regarding HyperDB or VectorWise/Actian Vector (VectorH in the cluster version). Other commercial offerings are Vertica (formerly C-Store) and SAP Hana.

PostgreSQL is not even something anyone compares against in analytics...

Please describe for me what your ideal rules would be for political contributions and/or expenditures.
You can't discount Trump's stadium tours as an important part in his campaign strategy. It's essential for emotionalizing the base. Almost the same way a Spotify stream compares to a live arena concert. I would even go so far that offline events have in these digital times a much higher voter activation potential.
This wouldn't be anywhere near as severe a problem as it is if Steam's service wasn't running as something as ridiculously privileged as NTAUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

On the plus side, reading the writeup [0] it seems unlikely that this affects the Linux client (or even if it does, it's at least limited to the current user account). So I guess Steam can continue to live on my machine for another day.

I saw plenty of examples that westerners who do the same...it's just not reported in western medias.
It could be the interaction between the MAOIs and the nicotine. Or more accurately, the MAOIs altering how your body handles nicotine.
As discussed before, biometric data (used by WebAuthn) will never be used as the single factor for authentication, due to the fact that you can't revoke your face or fingerprint once that data is hacked or leaked. Also, single encryption key is risky (in the way as using the same password across all websites) as it could be hacked or leaked. Username/Password would still stay as the primary authentication method at least for near future IMO.
While I agree with most of the sentiment, it should be noted most companies don’t ‘hyper-focus’ specialization like that.

There are always going to be interacting systems and having knowledge of other systems only helps your job performance.

When scoping for a client, there are many legal concerns at play. The scope, handed from the client, cannot be too specific technically. The concern is, if the systems change(due to firm changes, etc...) or one part of the implemented functionality is turned off (typically a free, or exit fee cost) certain technical verbiage would require contract arbitration and renegotiation.

Maintaince fees are different.

Most firms are paid significantly for the software produced, if they employees are not paid a proportionate amount, that’s the firms problem not the client.

Unreasonable internal scopes are different then client scopes. You just emphasized you worked in a client facing business, I thought it was an interesting topic to discuss.

Sorry, I meant in a universal vote program, i.e if there's no electoral college.
I wish someone with $$ would start plastering this message everywhere the absurd "get rid of the elctoral college" debate comes up. We are not a democracy, seriously no one wants a democracy of 300 million plus. We are a federation of states that is supposed to have most of the control in their region and sacrifice a little bit of control to the federal government for purposes of defense and commerce. Your "democracy" should be your state legislature, but sadly authoritarians of the past have taken that away.
The apology letter is clearly meant to have us believe he was not aware! Through omission and indirection.

> I was never involved in, never heard him talk about, and never saw any evidence of the horrific acts that he was accused of.

But fine let's say you're right. "I knew he'd done this, but at his house I never saw evidence of rape or trafficking" isn't much better. He should resign.
Would you have come to the same conclusion to wait 2 years ago, or 4 years ago, or 6 years ago? At what point will you decide to stop waiting and buy?
Two things:

1. I’m gonna take a hard line that people deserve a vote, dirt doesn’t.

2. Louisiana is the 25th most populous state and I think 25th densest. So, I’m not sure the electoral college is protecting those less dense states’ environments. As the sibling points out, sometimes coastal liberals want environmental protection, while natives want to exploit the environment for profit.
Why? Who cares whether something is a tech company or not? How does that change the conversation? Is it no longer a startup?

There are enough things wrong with wework that this is just muddying the issue.
It is weird then, that the all world wants (and feels entitled) to come through our borders and live under our western rules instead the other way around.
I don't smoke the juul vapes, they're not the only company that makes nicotine salt juice. Nicotine salts are made by adding an acid to freebase nicotine, which is still made originally via extracting nicotine from tobacco and processing it with ammonia. If you smoke nicotine, you're inevitably supporting large tobacco producers, there's not really much way around that.

Then there's the matter of, freebasing an alkaloid makes it more bioavailable to your brain, you may be smoking lower concentrations, but your body's absorbing more nicotine per puff.

Kind of like the difference between snorting coke or smoking crack. Cocaine hydrochloride is cocaine in salt form, crack is the freebase form. Both are addictive nasty drugs, but with crack, you need less to get high, the high lasts longer and in the long term tends to really fuck people up from what I've seen.

Also, the first time I ever heard of freebase nicotine, was when I was reading about how it was added into cigarettes to increase the addictiveness and rush you get.

That cake flavoured one still sounds unappealing. I'd really prefer some kind of savoury or smokey flavour. I've never really enjoyed sweet things.
When compiling to Wasm (esp. in the context of blockchain), small bytecodes are less costly than fast but short-lived programs.

However, in terms of maintainability, I’m happy to foist a few extra kB of bytecode on developers to produce an idiomatic (i.e. serde-using) library.
For NPM they should make it optionally inverted to highlight the one line node packages that you can get rid of!
Hello, I Am a Developer Advocate
“The gold standard for democracy has always been one person one vote”: it’s much more complicated than that. At least for US legal history, the idea of “who has the right to vote” has changed significantly, from land owning white males to citizens who haven’t committed felonies (and a few other exceptions like residents of Puerto Rico or citizens who live abroad and a few more). If you look even further back, Athens, the creator of democracy, would generally view our government as oligarchy (rule by the few) as popular vote elections were viewed as possible to be games/bought by the wealthy or connected. You can see echoes of that in today’s politics with dynastic families (Clintons, Bushes). To solve the problem, the Athenians employed the concept of “sortion” or essentially a civil service lottery where the ruling council of the city was chosen at random from all eligible citizens. A modern example of something close to sortition today is Jury Duty.
That end result is probably strongly favored by gerrymandering.
Good example, but that's not I$ specifically.
Cargo compiles dependencies in parallel so if you have lots of cores you'll hear your fans spin up.

Not arguing. I did say vice versa applies to my example.

But this is the point to the whole system. It's supposed to attempt to keep everyone's needs in mind. Gov body structures were originally figured out for countries the size of... Florida. Maybe California. Thus, your nation has roughly the same "issues" and "needs". But the USA is the "same" country for 3,000 miles of driving. West and east coast Americans are not the same. New Englanders and Southerners are not the same. West coast and is not the save as Mid-westerners. Hell, even folks on the Pacific Northwest are not the same as Californians. Then you have Texans. Shit, let's not forget Hawaii and Alaskans. Different land. Different climates. WAY different industries and lifestyles. I learned this first hand since I've traveled and lived in different parts of the country every 1-2 years (roughly).

So yea. Pretending like axing the electoral college is just a simple fix that solves this super simple problem... you're out of your god damn mind.
Except AirBnB does not have any long term obligations wrt the properties. If the market for short term residential renting takes a dive, AirBnB has to fire some people. If the market for short term office space takes a dive, WeWork is stuck holding a bunch of property and lease agreements that they have to fulfill.

This is not true. Go read about the formation of the Constitution.

It doesn't even make any sense. States were just as capable of holding elections and sending six-digit numbers to Washington as they were holding elections and sending two-digit numbers to Washington.
> In 2015, the Kazakhstan government attempted to have a root certificate included in Mozilla’s trusted root store program. After it was discovered that they were intending to use the certificate to intercept user data, Mozilla denied the request.

This strikes me as odd. Does this mean that political authorities (or major tech companies) can get their roots in the program, as long as there's no direct evidence they're using it to MITM? Seems like you'd want the opposite policy, where to get your root in the program, you have to sign a bunch of agreements about how you're going to use it and submit to regular audits to make sure you're not misusing your new authority.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this though.
In times of low interest, house prices inflate because the payments are lower and the compounding effect is slower. This leads to bigger mortgages with long durations. During times of high inflation house prices go down because less people can afford it. Paradoxically you will end up paying far more money than you will save through the lower interest rate. Therefore it's best to buy your house when interest rates are high.

As usual, if you wait too long then you will miss out on potential gains. Starting as soon as possible tends to be more important than the specific time you start investing.
At the risk of being slightly tangential, I've been sorely wanting to air this particular grievance with Rust for some time. It's somewhat related, since the author mentions their package system. Its package ecosystem isn't nearly in the horrible state that node's is, but having a package system shouldn't be a substitute for designing a useful standard library for a language. I think that the attraction to 'small languages' is very much misplaced. If I can't get through Rust's official documentation without being recommended the use of third party packages for basic functionality (getopt, interfacing with static libraries... Etc) then the designers have made a terrible error.
From my PoV, the protesters should target the big families instead of targeting the mainland government/people. I mean why give your support to anyone who blames you, and unjust-fully?

Let alone that many protesters are indeed violent...
They're all from an era where javascript couldn't do everything. Those various crud of "like Gecko" were to get servers to deploy HTML that fit the pattern of another browser. There were websites that gave you error pages if you weren't Internet Explorer.

Nowadays it is far less necessary, but there are still browser-specific stuff involved.
If the House was chosen randomly from the population, it would be a big improvement.

For (5), I'm pretty sure they not only foresaw it but specifically designed the system this way. This is why they created both the Senate and the House. CA has 53x as many representatives as Vermont.

Ask them to read many sources. Point out that it costs too much to manipulate many media.

Careful with asking this as you are risking their life and their family/friends: Ask them when they started hearing about the HongKong protests (China initially censored HongKong protests)? Are they aware that HongKong had been seeking democracy and/or independence for a long time even under UK rule? Have they read about Wukan Democracy experiment and Tiananmen Square (Both asked for democracy as a peaceful resolution)? If they do for either, are they aware of the list of demands from protestors (China has been trying to portray the events as destructive people and censor the demands).

All of this is on Wikipedia and many news websites. Which are censored in China for a good reason.
> It makes some feel attacked and reaffirms what they were taught in China: The West is biased and hostile.

It's easier when you want to believe something, to believe it. No matter what the source is.
It's a Steam issue, given that background services don't have to run as SYSTEM, and yet Valve decided to have Steam's background service do precisely that.

Thankfully, the Linux version doesn't seem to have this problem (AFAICT).

Do you know how to not do this "default"? I would love to try it.
I agree with most what you analyzed. However this is somewhat debatable,

their poor demographics lack of youth due to family planning means labour heavy manufacturing is on the way out...

I am not sure if you are aware that the family planning policy (aka 1-child policy) has already been lifted years ago. The declining birth rate has to do with the young urban population don't want to have offsprings as much as their parents (social-economical changes, education cost etc.)
Or how many Russians don't understand why Ukraine for example is upset.

Is as if propaganda works. Who would have thought.

Once I was discussing with a Chinese colleague and the Tiananmen subject came up (it was in the news, I didn't bring it up), and he told me that the students were not that innocent either, that they killed 150 soldiers the night before. I asked him, how could some students with rocks kill 150 soldiers with machine guns, but he said it was true. As suspected, I couldn't find any reputable sources for this later when I did extensive googling.
Judging by the shape of the API responses, looks like ElasticSearch is handling the metadata querying.
> National Popular Vote (NPV) rewards states with high population - the higher the turnout, the more power for that state.

Well, it rewards people who vote. If more people in my state turn out to vote for the candidate that I didn't vote for, and who didn't get the majority of the states votes, I and most of the people that voted in my state are not rewarded by NPV.

OTOH, getting more Democratic votes in a Red state, or more Republican votes in a Blue state suddenly makes a difference in the national outcome; national elections no longer are about doing the minimum necessary to keep a majority in party-dominated states while focussing primarily on narrow appeal to the particular perceived interests of “swing state” voters, but about getting as much support as possible nationally.
Cool, so it doesn't really matter.
> biometric data (used by WebAuthn) will never be used as the single factor for authentication

WebAuthn doesn't use biometric data, the authenticator does. You can just as easily use a PIN or whatever you want.

> Also, single encryption key is risky (in the way as using the same password across all websites) as it could be hacked or leaked

The difference is that one compromised site can't leak your encryption key, someone would have to physically get it from your computer or steal your security key (and, probably, need to guess the PIN in three tries).

Have you tried sccache [0]? It doesn’t always choose to cache a dependency, but it helps about 70% of the time. Anecdotally, it hastened a release build of a pretty standard CLI tool (with incremental compilation) by almost 4x.

In the context of resource-constrained machines, one can always host it remotely on S3. (or mount an NFS share as the CARGO_TARGET_DIR, if you’re feeling adventurous or want fast CI)

It's actually a typical stack.
Wyoming gets 7 electoral votes per million people, while New York gets only 1.9.

That's a 3.6x difference -- I would hardly call that a "small" edge.
Actually I was trying to find a simple question, and I came across an example of the same sort of spouting of Chinese government propaganda. Check this out: https://www.quora.com/Are-children-in-China-taught-about-the...

I think it's interesting to ask people who are educated in China what they think about the Tiananmen Square Massacre. For instance, what do they think about this photo? https://i.imgur.com/0zAQqAO.png

Though, this line of questioning may be met with hostility. So I suppose you could ask them why they're angry about evidence of a massacre of their own people.

It would be all voters across the country electing the president, regardless of which state they live in. Right now, you have state electors directly electing the President, and certain states have extremely disproportionately low influence, and those states don't even secede.

It seems unlikely to me, but perhaps some states would try to secede if the system changed such that their voters receives the same influence as every other voter in the country. I would not support that decision.

If there is an observer in the polling station, how are you going to throw ballots in a box without them noticing? You need to find people who would pretend that they are voters. It only works when nobody is watching (when nobody cares).

Also, here in Russia, voters put a signature in the voters registry when receiving a ballot.
In the case of Louisiana, we (natives) have been screaming for environmental protections for decades, because erosion has been eating away at our state.

Uber is a tech company because their primary business is providing an app. If they owned or leased a million cars to provide their service then they would not be a tech company.

If WeWork was AirBnB for work spaces then I'd call them a tech company. But they're not.
No that position is wrong, because the analogy is wrong. If the baseball bat would hit the customer in the face every time he tries to hit the ball, that would get fixed pretty quick. Allowing privilege escalation is an unintended side effect of the product being used and should be fixed because the customer never asked to be exposed to that risk.
As you'd expect there are (or were, a few years ago when my account was temporarily banned for a few days) cracks to unlock the executables. You might need Steam still installed for this to work the first time, I'm not sure.

Legally I don't know where that stands, but morally I'd say we have a right to play the games we paid for.
Agree. I no longer read Players Tribune because they killed their RSS feed. Several teams I follow don’t have an RSS feed, therefore, I don’t get news from the official team sites. I don’t even care if the RSS feed makes me click through. Give me a title, the first sentence, and tags. Then I can filter and click through as I like.
I had a similar experience chatting to my former coworker (who moved recently from China) regarding Taiwan. I said Taiwan is pretty much an independent country given it has it's own currency, military and democratic government. She looked at me like I was telling her the earth was flat. She was smart and good natured, and didn't have any opposing reasons, but she insisted Taiwan was simply another province of China.

Really made an impression on me. I bet most of my beliefs are baloney too, but I have no idea which ones they are.
I like this more than my own answer. Asking them if they understand the motivations of the protesters is an excellent line of questioning.
Your argument is the company can pivot post-IPO to something it's never done and it's magically a successful tech company?

I feel like you didn't read the article or being purposefully dense.
> Maybe we should just ban advertising to people so no company can try to hook young people on their products to expand their markets.

Yes, we should.

Advertising works. It influences you, affects your behaviour. To extract money from you. For someone else's benefit. Without your prior informed consent.

We should ban it.
