More importantly, anonymous voting presents a machine trust problem that does not come up often.

Imagine the computer is a person in a secure room alone. You approach them and say your vote, or press a button. Whatever.

They say and or show you your vote through a window, and then they make a private record outside the view of anyone.

That private record determines the election.

You, the voter are forced to trust your intent was duly recorded.

With a paper ballot, the chain of trust between voter intent and the record to be used in the election is intact. You the voter know your intent is captured.

We have no solutions to this, that do not also involve personally identifiable votes.

Honestly. I used to build the buildmaster for Ant builds back in the day. They could actually be quite incredibly elegant (if you used Ant-contrib). The reason was actually a lack of magic. SURE, ant was very verbose compared to modern build systems, but it did a lot of things relatively straightforward. You invoke tools in the chain you want.

Today it is very different. There is a huge chain of auto-wiring tools with very cryptic error messages. To just build a basic ES6 javascript webpack project with React I need over 800 libraries, many of which are automagically invoked via convention.

I literally have no idea what my build does, and hope my lucky underwear actually works today. Most of the time I am browsing through weird bug reports trying random snippets on the internet because there's no sane way to debug anything.

So the point is, explicit is a huge virtue. It is code you can trace and debug. Sure it adds a bit of time, but it is time up front that saves A LOT down stream. Meanwhile today's tools are built to save time up front and waste time downstream. You either follow the exact formula the original developers wanted or you're shit out of luck.

Allergies are caused by the activation of white blood cells called mast cells and basophils such as ImmunoglobulinE IgE, an antibody in response to exposure to normally harmless environmental elements. Testing the skin to determine the presence of IgE levels is one method to check the level of allergic reaction, and treatment varies from allergen avoidance to prescription of anti-histamines, steroids, and immunotherapy in order to desensitize the body's response to the allergen. Here some of the more common causes of allergies.

This is something that is actually interesting to me. It does simplify the whole get a web service up part of development. The one thing that isn't touted enough on the page is how much this was brought about by interns.

I know I'm just piling on (positively), but this was such as excellent post. Honestly, I think my biggest reaction after reading this was how amazing the engineering culture must be at this company. Working at a startup, with a relatively small team, but still having the luxury of all that time to try out multiple different approaches, get feedback, can the ones that didn't work without making it feel like a "failure" in any way.

Major, major kudos. This is how engineering should be done.
I disagree, Trump wasn’t a president that should really trigger the failsafe of the elector college. That’d be more if we were electing someone that was a clear threat. Trump was and is not a clear threat to Americans. He’s pretty incompetent and honestly still don’t know if he’s worse than the alternative(s).

You forgot to add the most important reason which should be at the beginning of that sentence - track record.

And also, hiding important financial details e.g. the so called "friendly fraud" case is not a serious mistake, which implies that somehow it all "just happened" and could have "happened to anyone". It was deliberate, a lot of people were complicit, and it is exactly the kind of issue that crosses the fine line between what is merely a "serious mistake" and goes and sits squarely in the realm of "intentional, systematic and deliberate fraud" to pump up the company pre-IPO. And the fact that this came to light about 7-8 years after the actual incident suggests that we have only yet seen the tip of the iceberg on these kinds of issues.

But let us suppose you are actually right that it was just a "serious mistake".

My view is that right now there are a lot more shady things going on inside FB even as you come and write this.

"Well, how can you be so sure?" is what people generally ask. That's exactly what people who were defending FB were asking as early as 2016 on these forums. But over the last 2-3 years, the skeptics have been vindicated, and those folks who were previously defending FB are nowhere to be found on threads which discuss Facebook. As the saying goes - their silence is now deafening.

The Game of Thrones battle with the Night King seemed utterly devoid of tactics. For example, it started with a suicide charge.

As a male rider, I don’t consent to have the cost of that camera coming out of my wallet. If it increases the price of a Lyft from $10 to $15, it’s not worth it to me.

You can pay for it if you want, ask shareholders to pay for it, ask the banks to pay for it, or create your own premium ride sharing with cameras startup. The main point of Lyft/Uber is that they’re still cheaper than a taxi.

Right. The problem of interpretation arises when the qbit has value 0 with probability 75%, and value 1 with probability 25%. In what sense can the universe be said to have branched into two, yet the probabilities are not evenly divided? What can probability even mean if both branches are in some sense realized - is one branch 3x as "real" as the other?

Whoosh! pwonp was saying that it's all about him, like similar posts.
Divining original intent is weird because it's from an era where not even adult white males had universal suffrage. Prior to the mid 19th century, nearly all states required you to be a land-owner to vote. I've always viewed the electoral college as an enlightenment-era hack to work around a scenario where one state would "liberalize" suffrage to garner outsized influence during a national election. If this was 1790, non-land owners deciding an election would be the feared "tyranny of the majority" the founders sought to prevent; and that's not even counting suffrage for women and non-whites.

At least in theory (putting aside any voter suppression efforts), the US today has near universal suffrage for all adults, with the only remaining restrictions being placed on felons (of which we have many). So it really doesn't make sense: We functionally have the popular vote, but we have this weird legacy layer on top that, in 2000 and 2016, selected someone who lost the popular vote.

I would guess that, of the people here, something less than 30% would accept natural law as an accepted authority. Of those, I suspect that a large fraction would not accept the doctrine of double effect, or perhaps even know what it is.[1] (I had to look it up; I'd never heard of it before.)

While I disagreed with the substance of your post, it was the form that most annoyed me. (You could say I should focus on the substance, and you'd be right, but... I didn't.) Saying "theory X (that most people don't agree with) says Y about this subject, which supports my position" isn't a very effective argument unless you give reason why people should believe or trust X. As I said, I would hopefully have been less annoyed by it, except that I just ran into the same form on a completely different topic.

[1] Here I am presuming that the doctrine of double effect does not absolutely and automatically follow from natural law. I suspect that natural law is not unambiguous enough for that. I am not an expert, though; feel free to disagree if you think I'm wrong.

I myself do not accept the doctrine of double effect. When faced with a "do I or don't I" decision, inaction is just as much a choice as action, and you're also responsible for the (foreseeable) consequences of the inaction. If Truman had not dropped the bomb, and the US had not invaded, Truman would have borne some responsibility for the continued deaths in China, which his inaction allowed to continue.

Or, to use a different example, if you see the crime happening and you do nothing, you are to some degree complicit. You're not in the same category as the person who commits the crime, but you still have some responsibility.

(Hey, look, I'm giving unsupported assertions too! It's really hard not to, because nobody's got time to go back to first principles, agree on them, and then derive conclusions.)
I think you may be confusing the words populist and popular.
As I was trying to understand this space coming from a 'docker user' background I was incredibly confused by the two different definitions of "privileged containers" ("what do you mean if I don't add --privileged it's still privileged?") -- so I figured others might appreciate the pointer as well.

Now that I understand what's going on better, I definitely agree that docker does not abstract the kernel APIs in a way that makes it easy to understand what's going on underneath the hood. Is that a good thing? I honestly don't know.

The Falklands War offers an even better example of logistics than ships: Operation Black Buck extreme long-range air raids. 10+ aircraft took off and made a series of aerial refuelings to ensure that the last one of them was able to reach the target. The main aircraft had to be refueled no less than seven times on the outward journey and once on the return journey. The last tanker itself had to be refueled three times.

Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.

Exactly. This is how it has basically been for the past 230 years. The ruling in no way "kicks at the foundation of how America chooses presidents".

A few states recently enacted an unconstitutional law to attempt to void the faithless electors vote, and all this ruling does is clarify that those state laws were indeed unconstitutional.

How to Engage Your Team and Overcome Your Company Challenges
This piece is a bit unsettling, most notably for it's being being barely coherent in structure, picking out seemingly random observations and facts.

The observations and facts all would fit nicely into an effort to cast Mann's intellectual mission in a negative light. Tying him to russia as the closing paragraph for no discernable reason? Suggesting his ideas were self-aggrandizing? Suggesting that he was trying to induce a system of false-belief through myth-matking? They're all observations thrown together without comment or an assertion of a common thread, and represent a remarkably cherry picked subsample from the book that supposedly forms the core of the article.

It feels like an opening salvo in an ad hominem attempt to dismantle a core figure in anti-Nazi thought? Coming from a journal intimately tied up with the neoconservative movement.

(Yeah, that's also an ad hominem, but the point about the article stands: it's barely coherent and the things it's suggesting form the start of an unsettling attempt to frame a narrative.)
It's the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, so it's not binding on the rest of the country. It would be good if this went to the Supreme Court and was ruled on while it's just one elector, and isn't going to actually change an election. (Lawrence Lessig is on the side that won this ruling. He's trying for a Supreme Court decision, one way or the other. But the only way to get that is if the other side appeals this ruling, and the Supreme Court agrees to hear the case.)

What's it take to actually run a model like this, hardware-wise? I've been toying around with a gpt2 discord bot (https://github.com/ScottPeterJohnson/gpt2-discord) using just a CPU calculation, and already it takes up 2 GB RAM (and is slow obviously) on the 345M model. I might be able to get the 774M model running, but there's no way I can afford the full model, assuming linear RAM use. And that's just for CPU compute, I can't even begin to imagine how expensive GPU would be.

This is awesome. One question though: how does it handle the same resource (e.g. image) appearing multiple times? Does it store multiple copies, potentially blowing up the file size? If not, how does it link to them in a single HTML file? If or if so, is there any way to get around it without using MHTML (or have you considered using MHTML in that case)?

Also, side-question about Rust: how do I get rid of absolute file paths in the executable to avoid information leakage? I feel like I partially figured this out at some point, but I forget.
Almost. If this were a Supreme Court decision, I would agree with you. But it's "only" the 10th Circuit. It doesn't apply to most of the country unless the Supreme Court agrees or unless and until the other districts adopt the same reasoning when such a case comes before them.

Even though it's still famously not cool to logisticians, who tend to have favorite desk calculators (as do I), novelty within logistics, I hope you can see, is quite different from novelty without. Novelty without logistics often appears as pure chaos to the logistician, because their entire order of things can be destroyed with the stroke of a pen.

Also, imagine that your supreme leader is a logistician by psychology, and is presented with a choice: Cast the solution to the current problem as a logistics and force stabilization issue, or cast the solution as novel strategy. Human trait psychology shows us that they will tend to err on the side of logistics and sameness (sameness preserves logistics efficiency and is its friend). This gives their enemy the upper hand to the degree that the enemy can nurture broad and dynamic conflict while tricking the logistically-advanced side into wasting logistics resources and getting comfortable. The enemy ends up forcing short-lived novelty onto the logistical opponent in order to cause paralysis.

This is a good introduction but the rest of the article seems to side heavily with the latter (vehicle makers and startups like SmartE) while criticising the "homebrew" market for being "disorganised".

I'm going to disagree for two reasons:

1. From a workers rights point of view, I'm not sure that drivers renting their vehicle from a startup is better than drivers owning their own ride.

2. On a technological level a varied market with many alternatives can sometimes better facilitate innovation as opposed to an oligopoly limited to 2-3 larger actors.
