Make IDs free and mandatory for all citizens — like in those European countries — and there's no problem.

Until then, IDs are a poll tax — and to put it mildly, that's a problem.
The state of Georgia was a basket case when I was still active (10 years ago). Per my friends who are still in the fight, it's still a basket case.

As Andrew Gumbel wrote in Steal This Vote [2005], America experiences recurring amnesia.

As a burned out election integrity activist, I've really struggled with the recurring incredulity.

My local newspaper called me a "sweaty paranoid kook", because I dared to explain how our jurisdiction's central count actually worked (per their procedures manual).

And all the risks we identified and tried to mitigate? It all happened. All of it. (Where's my parade?)

Some free, unsolicited, hard earned advice from a recovering activist:

Focus on "errors", instead of "fraud". Just because. The moment there's a hint of partisanship, the conversation is over. And really, at the end of the day, fraud is indistinguishable from errors. So just grit your teeth, for the greater good.

Focus on appropriations, aka follow the money. The very minor victories I've had were argued from a framing of good governance. Transparency, accountability, anti-waste, etc.
I wonder if something serious happened for him to take a leave of absence. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if, by tomorrow, sexual allegations came out.
Laptops become thinner and thinner. The XPS is 0.46" thick. Your laptop is 1.2" thick. That's a lot of extra height to put larger ports like Ethernet.
You can test this yourself. Test your blood pressure prior to vaping and then after. If you choose to ignore all else you could argue the rise in BP is transient and not concerning. I personally would not bet my life on it.
I'll wait while you explain this. This only works if you are OK with an immutable record of how you voted which the US officially isn't.
This depends on the relative harm of smoking versus vaping.

Uk government estimates risks at 95% less than smoking which means we're still winning health wise by quite a bit.

As far as I know Stalingrad was a big ego trip of both hitler and Stalin. They sacrificed a lot of lives for symbolism and not for military value.
From all available evidence females across most mammalian species strongly prefer and reproduce with the most successful males.

In humans women strongly prefer men who are more successful than them, are the gatekeepers of reproduction, and generally a greater proportion of women are able to pass on their genes than men.

By Darwinian logic this will inevitably result in a subpopulation of men who the most highly accomplished in certain sex selected traits in the species. This isn't excuse making its nature. I am consistently bemused at how the selfanointed intelligentsia of society that pride themselves on their rationality and scientific acumen refuse to accept this. You might as well cry about Gravity and hop up and down hoping you eventually fly up to the moon.
Ask HN: Instant Startup Stack Deployment?
Not too long ago I saw a post about a service that will instantly deploy a full startup stack (hosting, db, cdn, analytics, email, etc). I can't find it any longer. Does anyone know what it was or of any similar services?

Thanks.
You may have been downvoted, but the the developed world has yet to provide a good retort to your point.

Such a question is answered by blatant hypocrisy every time.

sorry if this comment is against the spirit of the community (i don't think it is, but I have been blocked from posting in the past oblivious to the fact that I wasn't contributing anything meaningful), but that being said...

am I the only one who isn't surprised that someone managed to find that if you introduce something into the body that isn't generally there, that there is obviously going to be an acute response of some sort? seems sort of like a simple "you introduce a thing to your body, your body responds to it" type thing, though perhaps I misunderstood the nature of the acute systems that were measured? they just didn't seem too horribly negative to me from my reading of it. granted, that being said, im all for further testing and gathering of further evidence, as a vaping enthusiast myself i think it's quite important that science keeps studying it so that we know exactly what it does, especially over long term exposure. and perhaps maybe I'm just being unnecessarily reactive against some imagined people that might take this and say "hey look it's proof that vaping is bad for you because things happen when you do it!"
Not in the same sense as the article.

Also, "optimizing"?
What is this supposed to prove?
It seems like you're just not listening. They're not a tech company because they, while they may use software for some things, it's not their differentiator.

Tech companies are valued at higher multiples because software doesn't deal with scarcity. It costs Microsoft virtually nothing to sell an extra copy of Windows. So each extra sale is pure profit. WeWork sells OFFICE SPACE—something with real world scarcity, and each additional sale / customer they get has very real costs and overhead associated with it.
We've been using it on Docker and love it.
I think that the main reason that WeWork has been referred to in the same breath as other tech companies is because the offices they build out resemble the nice, cushy offices that tech companies are famous for (and that lots of their tenants are software companies)

I think you would be surprised about the scaleability of Relational Databases. Most of the large scale applications you use rely on Relational Databases, even at the largest scale. Modern distributed SQL system such as TiDB or the open source database Vitess are capable of serving any amount of traffic and they are really easy to use and very well understood.

In fact Quora uses a relational database
> I doubt WeWork will reach positive earnings and a market cap of 5.3 bln anytime soon.

No one said anything about "anytime soon"

(1) They are a US company.

(2) They raised at a $40bn valuation in their last funding round, so I don't know why you think a $5.3bn market cap is out of the range of possibility.

(3) The float will be whatever it is.

(4) WeWork is a real estate company. Real estate companies tend to make profit. The biggest issue most people have with WeWork is that their profits look small.

(5) Whatever that means. They will be in an active market, but reasonable is in the eye of the beholder.
Use the stats to do it. Oregon does. Results come in fairly timely, and finals can take a couple weeks, depending.
Connection issues and MITM are a different things. Connection issues is just bad ISP. This mozilla blacklist does nothing. They'll generate new certificate, put it on website, enable country-wide MITM for few days until protests calm down and then turn the whole thing off. And Mozilla will blacklist that certificate few months later, LoL.
Why the GOP so against election security? It seems insane that any group would be against your vote counting properly.

Of course they're also pro gerrymandering and disenfranchisement, so it does make sense...
The Killer AX1650 is an Intel chip and without the Killer software is the same as an Intel AX200. You just need a version of the Linux kernel that recognizes the AX1650 as an AX200, 5.2.2 or later.

I smoked for ~3 years and one of my favorite smoking memories was with a doctor in San Diego.

He was going down the standard visit questionnaire and asked if i smoked, so I said yes. He put down his pen, looked me in the eye, and loudly said "STOP". He looked back at the form, picked up his pen, and we carried on.
I guess the parent comment isn't very interesting...
If I understand the proposal correctly, it should actually be possible to auto-generate safe glue code.

These interface types can describe, eg, how to map a Python String or list to a generic representation (pointer + length), and Rust can then take this generic form and map it into a valid Rust string safely - with the intermediate guarantees verified by the WASM runtime.
> except for the part where requiring ID to vote

The reason should be obvious, people without ID are likely poor, and likely to vote for Democrats. Voter fraud is just misdirection on the part of Republicans.
There are a huge number of engineers and other technical professionals in the executive branch of government. It is actually one of the largest employers of engineers. But it would help to have a few more engineers in the legislative branch.
I don't know if identifying whether or not something transiently raise my blood pressure is a better measure than a comprehensive report by the UK equivalent of the NIH.
> The problem with that is most people don't have the time or inclination to open up and review and learn about every aspect of all the issues facing the world today. Because of that people with large audiences should be careful of trying to be a neutral platform for ideas in general because just by bringing a person on you're saying something about the worth of listening to that person.

Nah - I don't want, need, nor trust someone else to tell me how to think - unless I ask for it (example: I won't read ALL of the the data/studies on vaccines, so I'll choose to trust the 99% of authoritative perspective on the topic that they're good for society.) Recall the metaphor that is often used against censorship:"Just because a baby can't chew his/her food doesn't mean I shouldn't be served a steak."

> just putting a person on your show is taking a stance on saying these ideas are worth listening to (at the very least).

This is pretty specious reasoning. Saying "this position exists or can exist" and that there are real human beings that hold that idea is not the same as _endorsing_ that position or idea, or even saying that every idea deserves equal weight.
If you describe negative interest rates as "forcing people to invest their money", how would you describe deflation?

Money is debt. You hold something now and expect somebody else to give you something of value for it in the future. But the future is always uncertain. You may lose out on the deal by holding on to your money. But you seem to be demanding that somebody somehow should guarantee that people never do lose by holding on, no matter what. Who would that somebody be? How could that even work?
Vaping appears to have stalled progress towards smoking cessation:

> For decades, the percentage of high school and middle school students who smoked cigarettes had been declining fairly steadily. For the past three years, it has flattened, according to new numbers released Monday.

It may also encourage relapses:

> Adults who smoke cigarettes may have an easier time cutting back or quitting altogether if they start vaping, but a new French study also suggests that vaping may make ex-smokers more likely to relapse.
How does one “simply replace the firmware” is a way that isn’t trivial to spot by an observer?

Assuming there is no external IO such as USB or Ethernet, someone would have to disassemble the machine and solder a programming header in order to re-flash the device.
Not sure if anyone saw Dr. Robert Epstein testimony. It was scary to hear that Google not only introduced bias into search that could affect 15M voters, and Facebook could send selective "Go vote" to one voting class or another. I'm encouraged to see that Epstein's team has been building monitoring systems for these scenarios.

I’m in the same case as you. I switched to vaping 2 years ago (August 14th). Started out at 9mg of nicotine, and now at 1mg. Switch to 0.5mg is planned for early September.

Every time I lower my dosage, I notice I vape 2-3 times more than usual, and after a week, I stabilise again (at around 15-20ml per day). I exclusively vape on an RDA.

Over the weekend, I was invited to go to a shisha bar. After 3-4 tokes, I was high as a kite. Hadn’t experienced such a nicotine high in a very long time.

I can’t wait to finally be off nicotine completely. I’m already noticing that I often forget my vape when leaving the house, and when I notice, I don’t really sweat it. It’s a slow process, but for me, it works.

And yes, I know that it’s possible that I might grow a 3rd arm 20 years from now. But I’m playing the odds: cigarettes will kill me dead for certain. Vaping, maybe not.
I’d replace the word “Free” with “Try it out” because it looks more like a tier to make sure it’s worth paying for rather than something you’d perpetually use. That way the plan can be kept tight.

That said, I’d consider opening up the free tier to be almost the same features as pro except you need to include the a “get Mead” banner on the site.
I have the XPS 15 9560 with Ubuntu 18.04, and the Killer WiFi in that has been stable (I am handy with electronics, and I bought an Intel WiFI card, but I haven't needed to change it yet).

Apparently the Killer WiFi has serious problems running on Windows.
Cocaine is also in the same drug class as both nicotine and caffeine.

Drug class is irrelevant in this situation.
With diversification you decrease the risk of losing everything and increase the risk of losing something.
Awesome! Love from YC Startup School 2019!
Individual investors still can buy. For example, if I am sitting on too many dollars and expect that Euro will be significantly stronger than dollar in 30 years, I can diversify a little bit. Same applies to other currencies.
I meant communist texts from Eastern Europe where they expressed the attitude of having advanced beyond capitalism.
Many companies do that. That's apparently was OK. So Mozilla fully supports MITM when it's a US company, but it does not supports MITM when it's a foreign government. Talk about double standards.
> Of course, that could never ever ever happen in Germany? Not even in 30 years? Let's hear an explanation.

well anything can happen.
I mean I live in germany and I can totally see that happen. our biggest industry needs a lot of breaking changes or else they will fail pretty hard. and they have less than 30 years to do so
Yes. The difference in interest rates implies that the EURUSD exchange rate is expected to rise (slowly) in the coming decades.
This is a systemic thing, not the work of a single villain with a face. Getting an ID is inherently more difficult for lower-income individuals for a variety of reasons. It doesn't have to be a specific GOP politician stopping people for it to be discriminatory.

Such scanning machines save the time of people counting votes (it takes at least several hours), but you cannot know if the machine hasn't been tampered with. To require re-couting the paper ballots you will need some kind of proof that the results are invalid.
I think you're misunderstanding. It doesn't count for squat because it generally won't be listened to if it comes out of the wrong mouth. Much like this point has been misunderstood by a whole chain of people below you circle jerking over this comment, seemingly because they are generally inclined to defend Joe Rogan.

I don't have time to read a Wikipedia article on a subject I've been studying for decades. I have my own understanding, based on my own readings and my own experiences. Wikipedia is not the ultimate source of truth or final word on any one subject. It's a great resource, but it's far from comprehensive, and it's still subject to narrative slant.

Calling out Wikipedia as non-capitalist is superfluous. It's bizarre, because you still fail to acknowledge that non-profit institutions have existed for centuries, and no one ever bothered to label them "non-capitalist". You are conflating two orthogonal subjects. Sure, profit is an essential component of capitalist economies, but the exclusion of profit does not make an organization non-capitalist any more than it makes it non-communist or non-feudalist.

In general, you should avoid being condescending. I don't give power to anyone, those are my words.

P.S. You must have a valid passport when you reach a certain age.

Any thoughts on auto-detecting the language/framework so that’s it’s just git push and you don’t even need a dockerfile? For a zeit or Heroku like experience.

It might require a lot of conventions (which might not be worth it finally) but as a quick deploy and experiment solution, it’d be super awesome.
Vote-faking is not a problem. Elderly people who have extreme difficulty obtaining an ID (that they otherwise do not need) is an actual, real life problem.

I find it odd you are so concerned about a non-problem but not concerned about the actual problem of eligible voters being actually disenfranchised.

Interestingly, this feature is only two years old.

Can you think of another major social networking service without Direct Messaging of some kind?

Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, Flickr, Snapchat, Tumblr, Pintrest, and the list goes on, they all have DM functionality.

That sort of choice is disappointing because it's always nice to be able to contact content creators. Without direct messaging it's more like cable television where you're just there to watch and feedback isn't welcome.

Perhaps that's the idea here - YouTube will be the cable television of the Internet era. Obscure channels aren't recommended by the algorithm and the channels YouTube deems most profitable will be suggested.
Yes! It's a vast conspiracy! In fact, that's Hacker News' true business model.
Concrete example:

void foo(const int* const p1, int* const p2) {
int a = *p1;
*p2 += 42;
int b = *p1;
return a == b; // b = a + 42
}
int main() {
int x = 0;
return foo(&x, &x);
}

Inflation. So I guess it is like taxing everyone who holds cash in the currency that the government is printing with a flat tax.
Like most economic and finance topics on this site, there seems to be a lot of people posting opinions/"facts" without really understanding the subject matter.

The reason why bonds are trading at negative rates in the EU are the following:

* The ECB deposit rate is -0.40%. Everything else is benchmarked against that

* The majority of the EU is either currently in a recession or rapidly heading there

* Inflation expectations are weak

The opposing party (in the US) will make the offices where identification is offered difficult to get to. Times when the DMV or RMV is open will shrink, some states will require an extreme amount of paperwork in order to get identification. We might see some states close some DMV or RMV offices.

Keep in mind that DMV and RMV office _assume_ that people have vehicles. In the case of voters this is not the case.

It's like gerrymandering but in this case what's being manipulated is the ability of voters to get these cards. In many cases it is racist.
I'd argue that you're doing this all at too low-level - users shouldn't have to see JAR files - they don't know what those are.

You should encapsulate the JAR and the JRE in a package.
I think the problem is they're not entirely innumerate but they have precious little time or resources to really do their articles justice, and they aren't as facile with numbers as engineers are so they botch them a little bit.

> vape for 30 min

That seems like an excessively long time. I don't vape, but I have a few acquaintances who do. None vape for 30 minutes at a time - typically 5-10.

I imagine if you inhaled cold water vapor for a solid 30 minute time frame and ran, you'd see a similarly bad outcome. Doesn't mean it's bad for you.
Uber, Lyft, AirBnb etc. offered technology as their major differentiator when they entered large, already established industries. They are all pure online marketplaces, and don't deal with physical assets, inventory, contracts or whatever else.

WeWork is different because its primary day-to-day operations consist of purchasing/renting/renovating/managing offices. Yes it could pivot to an Uber model in the future, but we are evaluating all of them as they stand today.
Modern minified javascript is just as inscrutable as anything else.

For example, please try to read this code: https://apis.google.com/js/client.js

You would need a "decompiler" to make anything out of that.
On the surface I like the idea of the knowledgeable and intelligent having more say, but I do not think it would work in practice. It is misleading to frame it as there being a "correct" weighing out there and that we just need to find it. Any non-equal metric used for weighing an individual's vote will be gamed and exploited. And there is the possibility of creating a class divide of intellectuals if the metric is intelligence.

I believe a safer solution is to overhaul education. This way we get both the equality of democracy and the better decision making of an educated populace.

This is an internal passport (not for travelling abroad) and everyone has it because without it you cannot buy a train ticket, open a bank account, enter the college etc. Also there is a fine if you don't get it when you are 16 (or 18, I don't remember the exact age).

Also, young people cannot buy alcohol and cigarettes without it (to prove that they are adult) so some of them are motivated to get it as soon as possible.

Here is a Wikipedia link in case if someone didn't hear about "internal passports": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_passport
