This sounds like what Kevin Kwok was describing[0] in his recent essay, The Arc of Collaboration. Even down to using the Discord metaphor. Kwok says that Slack ended up being more of an exception handler when normal processes break down. Contrast to Discord, which is more of a meta-layer around games and integrates within game platforms. I wonder if Tandem is what will make collaborative communication ubiquitous, i.e. sales talks to engineering talks to design all from within their various environments.

From TC: Tandem provides a virtual office for remote teams, complete with video-chatting and messaging capabilities, as well as integrations with top enterprise tools, including Notion, GitHub and Trello.

US and EU bonds are denominated in different currencies, and the cost to hedge the currency risk with a forward contract eliminates the difference in interest rates. In other words, the effect of the US raising interest rates isn't just to put pressure on EU interest rates, but also to put pressure on the expected future exchange rate.
What about I-know-what-I'm-doing const_casts in critical software like operating systems and kernels? Do you think developers should distribute binaries they know work, or let people maybe cause bugs with compiler options?
I had something similar happen with a Macbook. It ended up being the battery expanding and pushing up against the case/trackpad.
probably due to all the insecticide used in agriculture killing off the natural predators of mosquitoes. but i am sure the wealthy are rubbing their hands in thinking of the number of their companies that can profit from this.

Any swelling could be a potentially dangerous battery issue. Definitely have it serviced.
In Minnesota, the problem of individual untrustworthiness is handled by putting multiple people on every task - and those people must be from different political parties. So any time ballots are handled, marked or unmarked, members of at least two different parties are present.

So simple, so effective.
The US does not have a national ID due to privacy fears. Stealing an election by casting fraudulent ballots still requires forging documents and hundreds of conspirators willing to commit a felony even in the tightest races.
This!

I fight against this craziness by mocking "wide" screens as being "short".
Incentivize engineers/technologists to join the government, that's what China has been pushing for the past 3 decades.

I'm not sure this map is trustworthy given CA's propensity to label everything under the sun as unsafe. I bought a turning signal to fix my grandpa's boat trailer and it had the famous CA cancer advisory. Crying wolf, man.

How about this: is the turning signal more likely to give you cancer than living with an indoor smoker? Unlikely. And yet living with secondhand smoke is associated with a ~20% increase in risk, i.e. from ~6% lifetime risk to ~7.2% lifetime risk
I also have an xps 13. great machine but finances were tight at the time so I only got mine with 8 GB of RAM. I've been reading the reviews so I'll know what to get when the time comes to upgrade. the x1 carbon looks like a pretty obvious alternative.
Sure, and we should be able to criticise their choices... Especially since they pride themselves on giving the user choice, freedom, bla bla bla.
Anecdote of one but my one-year-old XPS 13 doesn't have it. Returned the '17 model it was terrible.
I'd argue we've ended up here exactly because people are impatient and won't wait for results. If you design a system that declares e.g. the presidency two days later, you're going to run into a lot of resistance.
I have a real problem with people "deciding" who "gets" to have a platform.

I have no problem with individual social media sites setting their own policies as to who they will allow a voice on their site.

I have a big problem when people go further than that, and try to prevent certain people from having any platform anywhere. They'll go after hosting, after advertisers, after anything they can to completely shut a person down.

It is so unbelievably naive to think that those tools of suppression won't be used against everyone at some point in the future. The collective track record of human governments throughout history with regards to human rights has been, and currently is, absolute dogshit.

Whether the true point of "common carrier" should be the internet backbone, I don't know. But there needs to be a point where anyone can run a site to put forth their views, no matter how any individual feels about those views. The problem with restricting speech is that everyone's idea of acceptable free speech infringements is different, and the devil is in the details with something so vitally important.
Expecting the price of something to rise in the future is not the definition of a bubble.

When people were selling houses in Detroit at the bottom of the housing crisis for $1000, the people buying them were expecting the value to rise in the future.

It's almost like profiting off of fear not greed.

Is there a good solution that covers voter anonymity, guarantee of record, immutability and verification without exposing the voting process to vote stealing? I haven't seen one that seems to cover all the bases in terms of security and, while I adore computers, I think while we're on paper we can rely on societal pressure to cover up some of the more minor defects in our system while transitioning voting to blockchain opens us up to computer based attacks... to reword, we're sort of benefiting from security by obscurity simply by the volume of how many checks are currently on the system and how difficult it is to simultaneously break all those checks - my concern is that in an entirely electronic system executing a time sensitive attack where multiple actors need to be compromised in a co-ordinated manner before they can communicate their compromised state becomes much more do-able... if your attack relies on Sharon transferring the ballots to a secure van at the same time as Leonard in the next county over then it'll fail since people are unreliable, but computers are more predictable.

Not sure that’s true. Apple Card gave me an APR lower than every APR shown here:

Most technology IPO were of companies that were losing money, people bought what they might become one day. Nothing new here, maybe they will change the way they operate when they establish the brand and optimize the operations.
Really? How would they know?

I'm asking sincerely, I've not deeply read into this (or the Epstein story). I just always suspected that rich and influential people would generally be able to keep secrets under wraps.

I guess I just think it's kind of odd to assume that everyone who ever posed on a photo with Weinstein knew he was a rapist. That's quite a far stretch of "guilty by association"
Also, today an observer can take a video and instantly publish it on the Internet if something fishy is happening in the polling station, but nobody can see what happens inside a voting machine and whether it counts the votes properly. Electronic voting is a perfect tool for falsifying election results.

I've been hearing about the return of Zeppelins since the 1980s. Still hasn't happened.

> But for all their high-tech advances, Hunt said, the new airships would still get their buoyancy from hydrogen, a highly flammable gas that is 14 times lighter than air. It’s the same gas the Hindenburg and the other big zeppelins used in the 1930s.

As a reminder, the Hindenburg was originally designed for helium. They were unable to get the US to lift its ban on the export of helium under the Helium Control Act of 1927.

> As an additional bonus, Hunt said, the fuel cell would generate as a byproduct water that could be released as the craft passed over regions hit by drought.

That's isn't much amount of water, and certainly not enough to affect a drought.

Figuring 2km long x 200m x 200m that's about 3E9 mol of gas. You need some lifting gas for the vehicle weight - call it 1E9 mol or 5E8 mol of water, which is 30K tons. That's 27 acre feet, which appears to be enough for about 15 acres of potatoes for a growing season, using numbers from https://www.ardentmills.com/media/1725/colorado-quinoa-susta... .

And I think I'm highly over-estimating.

Blaming women for the wage gap because they supposedly don't date poor men certainly is one take.

The reason is that we don't have any universal ID and some people think requiring an ID is a burden on exercising your rights.

Others like you worry that, without ID, there will be lots of fraud. I keep hearing that there is not very much fraud, but I don't know how they know without a baseline that's verified with ID.

I also don't know why voter ID is too much of a burden, but IDs for gun purchases are not. If they are both rights shouldn't they have similar standards for checking eligibility?

What's the supporting evidence for your concern that "attacks on vaping are for the purpose of driving smokers back to cigarettes"

Philip Morris (now known as Altria) put $13bn into Juul to do the exact opposite. The margins on vaping are higher, the current perception of vaping is that it's better than smoking, and it's way easier to get kids addicted to vaping than cigarettes.

I see too much evidence to the contrary... that big tobacco is now big vaping (which is really big nicotine).

We dont know just how bad vaping really is, it's hard to say its better than smoking, and its impossible to say its not bad for you at all.

I think you are correct and the original poster has it backwards.
Again referencing Minnesota, because I've been an election judge and we have the best system in the US...

Mandatory random audits are part of the system. We get automated counts from the Scantron machines, but those are unofficial, preliminary. On election night, there are random audits of some number of voting machines for hand-counts, to detect systematic fraud. And the total number of ballots in each machine is hand-counted to make sure it matches the totals given by the machine.
Also some states have restricted early voting times and reduced the number of polling places open in some (typically poor non-white communities that vote more democrat) as a way of making it harder for certain minorities to vote. [0]

> The U.S. Supreme Court rebuffed a Republican bid to revive a strict North Carolina voter-identification law that a lower court found deliberately discriminated against black voters, handing a victory to Democrats and civil rights groups.

> The appeals court found that the law’s provisions “target African-Americans with almost surgical precision” and “impose cures for problems that did not exist,” concluding that the Republican-led legislature enacted it “with discriminatory intent.”

The trouble is that studies haven't reliably shown vaping to be the superior smoking cessation aid. And if it's more dangerous than the patch...
Georgia also only had problems in heavily blue districts. They "forgot" power cables, left machines unused in warehouses, and rejected thousands of early votes due to "glitches".

There is nothing odd or mysterious about it. It's the logical conclusion of being a political minority clinging to power and it's been happening for decades both openly and less openly.
Honestly asking... Is the USA just ahead of everyone else when it comes to not disenfranchising voters?

edit: ok, I don't get the hate... weird.
Calling the absolute numbers re subprime loans a "garnish" is subjective at best and wrong at worst. Even if the subprime-to-prime ratio hasn't changed much, a large increase in the ballooning subprime total may still be newsworthy in its own right.

I appreciate your honest feedback, so thank you. The free plan is pretty locked down right now. I haven't really had the bandwidth to fine tune it so I wanted to start out more strict and loosen up, rather than going the other direction. I'm still tossing around the idea of opening up the free plan more and keeping a low-profile branded footer at the bottom of free sites.

Can I reach out to you for future feedback when I'm reconsidering plans?

I admit it's a failure of imagination on my part, but in what context would a human never need to interpret the result? It seems to me that for anything with human consequences, there's going to still be a human in the loop somewhere.
Paper and mail-in ballots aren't without their problems too - vote harvesting comes to mind.
Then you could wash off the stamp and vote again
Both sides of the political spectrum are increasingly believing that elections are not fair, and it's far easier for people to believe conspiracies (true or not) when electronic voting machines are involved. At some point we will lose the ability to peacefully transition power.

A successful voting process both accurately counts the votes, and is trusted by the people. Computers can count, but they are not seen as trustworthy by the people. Paper is more understandable and trustworthy. Even as a computer programmer I'm not sure I can trust electronic voting.

Thus, even in the absence of any actual hacks or fraud, electronic voting is inferior at a primary objective of the voting system, being understandable and perceived as trustworthy.

I'm a strong opponent of WASM because I think that WASM will break the internet the very same way and same reason ActiveX and Java applets broke it over 20 years ago.

An untrusted executable code, no matter how much sandboxed, virtualised, and isolated it is, would never be a good thing. It wasn't 20 years ago, and would never be, invariably of what "tech sauce" it is served with.

I advocate for proactive removal of WASM lobbyists from standard setting bodies, and countering their promotion of WASM.

There is no guarantee it would work if it relies on undefined behavior--that's what undefined means, and also the reason the optimizer acted the way it did.
In that case, adding flags that defines what happens when particular undefined behavior hits would probably be the way to go, or rewrite it in a way that doesn't rely on undefined behavior.
The paper you mention in [3] is brilliant. Worth a read -- very good work they did.
Not just any rando, but a lowly-paid gig worker.
My claim is that the overwhelming majority of people have no problem understanding the label. The term is not precisely defined, and can be debated in slim gray areas, but the term does not in practice cause miscommunication in the vast majority of cases.
For all the negative rhetoric around subprime loans, they enabled me and others I knew who were young and self employed to own homes.

They aren’t always bad, they aren’t always crazy balloon loans or predatory instruments. Sometimes they allow someone who has an alternative life circumstance to not be excluded.
So, the solution is to make more or less every foreign call unsafe. That's pretty close to the state of the art without wasm.

I'm not sure how satisfactory that is, especially when it is fairly idiomatic for many calls in garbage collected languages to both keep and return a reference (eg, builder pattern), which may lead to rust calling a destructor where the other language doesn't expect it.
I like the idea of a hybrid approach.

10 years ago when I was in school, we took standardized tests using Scantron forms (https://www.scantron.com/). It's basically a piece of paper that can be run through a machine so the results of the test can be measured.

Something like this would still retain the benefits of an electronic system, while also leaving behind a paper receipt that can be stored separately from the electronic results in case votes need to be audited / recounted, etc.

Paper ballots (with electronic tallying) is also not susceptible to things like power outages, networking issues, software bugs, etc, since you'd always be able to fallback to the paper ballots if a component of the electronic system fails.

Side note: if I had to guess, the biggest risk with paperless machines is the possibility of software bugs that skew the results in unexpected ways. I would love to know what kind of quality checks + testing goes in to voting machine software... can't imagine how to test a system that's only used at full capacity on 1 day every 4 years.
The problem is that smokers --> vaping is being offset by non-smokers --> vaping.

> The CDC conducts an annual survey of tobacco use by middle and high school students, asking if they’ve used a tobacco product in the last 30 days. The most recent poll, released in February, found middle school use increased from 5.6% in 2017 to 7.2% in 2018; among high school students, it surged from 19.6% in 2017 to 27.1% last year.

> Almost all of the increase comes from e-cigarettes. Among middle school students, use rose from 3.3% in 2017 to 4.9% last year. Use nearly doubled among high schoolers, from 11.7% in 2017 to 20.8% in 2018.

> In other words, the number of high school smokers dropped by 1.2 million, while those using e-cigarettes rose by almost 3.5 million. That more than wipes out progress in reducing smoking during the last seven years.
