Well as far as I understand, temporal tables usually have either a valid time or system time. TimescaleDB is geared towards something you'd call measurement time, and most modifications are inserts to recent measurement time. In contrast, temporal tables are often still update-heavy and there is often no correlation with recent time, especially for valid time fields.
"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."

This is absolutely true. Inhaling propylene glycol and glycerine daily for thirty years might cause you to grow three heads or have babies with 27 fingers. But the results of every reputable report I've seen until now has indicated that vaping is much, much better than smoking cigarettes.

> HackerOne should start requiring companies pay researchers for duplicates

That would create a perverse incentive for researchers to tell their friends about the vulnerability so that they can resubmit it and also get a bounty.

The problem could be solved on the side of the researchers by splitting the bounty among all submissions of the same bug, but anyone else with access to the report (employees of either HackerOne or the relevant company) could try to get a share by having someone create a duplicate report.

First come, first served seems like it would be the hardest to game, as the first reporter is guaranteed to have actually done the work (not counting rogue employees who create bugs to "find" and report).

There should probably still be some kind of reward for duplicate reports to avoid discouraging researchers, but something symbolic like publicly acknowledging that they found a bug might be enough to provide validation.

The evolution from MaximeVM, which is now increasingly being integrated into OpenJDK as part of project Metropolis.

As for the CLR, it supports VB.NET, C++ and C# since day one, including a Common Language Specification and Common Type System.

Then alongside its history got COBOL, Eiffel, F#, Ruby, Python, Nermele, Clojure,....

IBM and UNISYS mainframes language environments support a mix of COBOL, C, C++, Fortran, RPG, NEWP, also with a common type system for interoperability.

While UNISYS documents are a bit hard to come by, IBM ones are available as RedBooks.

Winner takes all refers to the fact that in most states, the winning candidate gets 100% of the electoral college votes. Even though the candidate may have gotten just 50% plus 1 of the votes.

This is the main reason a popular vote winner can still lose.

You could be the 51% winner in most states but lose by nearly 100% in the more populous states and still win. Which is why this keeps happening to Democrats. They win by landslides in NY and CA but then eek out a loss in some of the swing States.

> Alaska with a population around 700,000 also has 2 senators

As does:

1. Wyoming (Population: 572,381)

2. Vermont (Population: 627,180)

3. Alaska (Population: 735,720)

4. North Dakota (Population: 760,900)

5. South Dakota (Population: 892,631)

6. Delaware (Population: 975,033)

7. Rhode Island (Population: 1,056,738)

8. Montana (Population: 1,074,532)

9. Maine (Population: 1,342,097)

10. New Hampshire (Population: 1,363,852)

These states combined control 20% of the Senate with a roughly combined population of 10 million people. That's only 25% the population of California alone, or 3% of the total country.

Now obviously the Senate/House power balance was designed with this in mind. But the House hasn't reapportioned representation by population in a century.

Seems to me like the American democratic system has a very large bias for rural voters, especially when you consider where in the country presidential campaigns start every 4 years.
Eh that one is on you I think. How long did you wait? If we have 5 researchers report the same vulnerability in 30 days we're going to count it as duplicate and still expect to have a full 60-90 days from the first report to deploy a fix.
So? There are many other external investors in the US companies, most importantly from China and Saudi Arabia. This is not illegal. And US-Russia relationships were a lot different in 2011.
Wyoming would still have a state legislature - I am not sure I see your point.

I don’t really buy that premise, at least for some significant definition of many (some definitely, but many?).

>They are also an attempt to keep ineligible people from voting.

Which is not a problem. There were less than 100 cases of voter fraud in the last twenty years: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2014/10/13/th...

Preventing ineligible voting is red herring for suppressing legitimate voters, by creating extra hoops to jump through for certain classes of citizens.
Why should people residing in any geographic group intentionally be given outsized political power when picking the president? Giving equal input to every voter is not advantaging non-rural people over rural people, it's advantaging more popular political policies over less popular ones.

While people living in rural areas may have distinct cultural values and may face real inequities when it comes to infrastructure, economic opportunity, education, health care access, etc., this seems completely unrelated to deciding the fairest way to pick a president.
Exactly so. That and continuous denunciation of the free press by a certain category of new politicians.

Actually, this article differs in no way from similar articles written since printed news was invented. Which of course means that all the other criticisms, including imprecision, are still valid. It just means that it is not the source of the recent spike in media dislike.
This campaign doesn't require changing the constitution. States can decide how to divide their electors, which is exactly what is going on here. See https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/written-explanation.

The biggest limit is that their "chunking" of data by time-slices may lead directly to the hot partition problem -- in their case, a "hot chunk." Most time series is 'dull time' -- uninteresting time samples of normal stuff.

Then, out of nowhere, some 'interesting' stuff happens. It'll all be in that one chunk,which will get hammered during reads.

Like, imagine all the telemetry data and video that was taken during a single moon landing. Most of the data made into a time series is from the days in transit. 99% of it will be "uninteresting." But the moment Neil Armstrong puts his feet on the Moon surface, and the moments leading up to and subsequent of that event, will be the "hot chunk."

Advice: Take Zipfian distributions into account for data access.

> I'm all for rural representation, but people in rural areas essentially have their vote count more than people in cities, right?

Yeah but maybe that's a good thing. Otherwise you have a situation like New York where NYC gets to dictate everything since it's super high population density even though the majority of geographical NY state is farmers. So the farmers get screwed over by the interests of the city folk who have never even stepped foot out of the city. For example, city folks are more likely to vote for increases in property taxes - not that they care too much since they only have a tiny apartment - but it hits the people outside of the city with lots of land (for farming) really hard.

It's just like the "rich getting richer" conundrum. Once you have a large city, it will gain more people faster than a small town just by virtue of the properties of growth. So pretty soon you'll have a few megacities that get to dictate the government of the entire country and if you live anywhere else; too bad, the city folk are in charge now.

I'm not saying it shouldn't be done as well, I'm just pointing out that having some bubble-wrap around one of the eggs near the bottom of the basket isn't the same as having an egg in another basket on the table. Or in a basket in another room entirely.

PS: the background of the SOMA storyline.
I turned 30 this year,and the Republican candidate has won the popular vote once in my life,and he was an incumbent. There has been a Republican president 14 of the 30 years of my life. Now,the first president of my life ( Bush 1) won the popular vote before I was born, but if we don't count him, no Republican has entered office with the popular vote in my life.

Tesla Has Failed Massively as a Public Company
Even if you took the side that disproportional voting power to rural voters was a just goal, does this argument even make sense? The electoral college leads to winner take all situations such that many states are not contested and thus not catered to.

If you're a swing voter in a heavily partisan district, it doesn't matter how dense the district is, you won't be campaigned for.
Taxes.

Vaping is really hard to tax unlike cigarettes. State and local governments are addicted to cigarette tax revenue, but that has been evaporating quickly, so outlawing vaping and not cigarettes is really profitable to them, even if causing more harm overall.
All states get one electoral college vote for each member of Congress they have.

All states have two Senators and at least one member of the House, with additional House members based on their population.

This is why California (with it's large population) has 55 electoral college votes, while Alaska only gets the default minimum of three.
They're opposed to ID verification laws that act as a poll tax. Not all voter ID laws carry the same burden. 11% of Americans do not have any form of government ID, yet they have a right to vote.
If the chain of custody is correct, it should be readily traceable which precincts were the sources of "ballots found in a dumpster".

And besides, "countless stories" are just stories. Show me one that's been investigated by responsible, neutral journalists. Just because everyone knows it's true doesn't mean it's actually true.
Firstly, I'm an independent - I actually have a great deal of issues with both major parties. My concern with abandoning the college starts with this observation:

Swing states are the states most likely to have divided government. And if divided government is good for anything, it is accountability. So with the Electoral College system, when we do wind up with a razor-thin margin in an election, it is likely to happen in a state where both parties hold some power, rather than in a state controlled by one party. The Electoral college system focuses a great deal of energy on states in this condition when an election is close.

National Popular Vote (NPV) rewards states with high population - the higher the turnout, the more power for that state. Additionally, under NPV, each state would certify its own "national" vote total. What would happen when there are charges of skullduggery? Would states really trust, with no power to verify, other state’s returns?

I have other concerns as well but feel the EC system is superior. Just as an observation, the parliamentary systems of the UK, Canada, Israel, (& others) have the parliament elect the Prime Minister and likewise don't elect their leaders by popular vote.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoliberalism#Current_usage

My specific concerns are regarding deregulation & privatization, as well as a lack of attention related to the consequences of the (relative) free flow of trade, people, and capital across national borders - these (potential downsides) are not discussed in the mainstream. Rather, it is typically reported that "free trade" is an undisputed good, and implies that anyone that disagrees must believe that economics is a zero sum game. (See how the MSM initially reported on Trump's complaints about China's trade practices, until something seemed to change behind the scenes and they all simultaneously got on the anti-China bandwagon).

The problem is not rural vs. high population states. It is whether a state has a strong party lead or not. Those who have not are the so-called "battleground" states. So some rural states get a lot of attention, where the outcome of the election is not already decided, while other states are completely ignored in campaigning. This is not bound to the size of the state.

What you say about electioneering is true.

It's also true that errors (aka fraud) happens with the machines.

Just one example: Voter Action proved in court that New Mexico's touchscreens didn't count Spanish language ballots in 2004. Kerry would have won the state.

Paper ballots cast at poll sites tabulated when the polls close is the best available system. Our gold standard (per the Election Verification Network, which is everyone).

By comparison, any digital tabulation system is irredeemable.

" you must have something you trust in the system."

No. You don't.

> The founders had a very good rationale for putting it in.

Well, it had a reason: like the per-state represt in the Senate which was locked in against amendment, like the 3/5 compromise, like the prohibition locked against amendment protecting the slave trade for a set time period, and probably like a handful of other things I'm probably not remembering off the top of my head, it was a mechanism of politically securing slavery and reassuring the slave states that the more populace free states, where ethical objections to slavery were already common, would not be able to band together and demand that all people be treated as people rather than some being treated as property.

(Before anyone starts quoting the Federalist Papers, I'll point out that those weren't working documents that the Constitutional Convention made decisions based on, but campaign literature to sell ratification particularly in New York. So they weren't going to say “A lot of this document is about mollifying the slave states to get them to stay by giving them as much assurance as possible that it will never be structurally possible to abolish slavery.” But, not saying it when selling the document in New York doesn't stop it from being true.)

The mainstream hypothesis of pilgrims, or very possibly travellers or traders (carrying very light, very valuable goods?) getting caught out in severe weather seems far more probable.

None of those are rights inherent to a human being. As can be showcased by almost every non-democratic government of every civilization in history.

If you invented it,it's a right you're enforcing on your own initiative. Human rights are self-evident and widely accepted across cultural boundaries. Which why they are universally accepted as human rights.

The criteria here is ability for the majority of humans to agree that after obsetvation if historical practices against modern context something can be considered a right a person enjoys just for being human.

Freedom of speech is a right you enjoy for living in a country that allows it. It's not a right you attained for being a human but because some people signed the bill of rights (for americans).

This is an innumerate talking pointing point repeated endlessly by Republican talking heads. There is somewhat of a numerical advantage to small states, but it helps Vermont, Delaware, Rhode Island, New Mexico etc for Democrats, and it hurts Texas, Florida, Ohio, Georgia etc for Republicans.

With winner-take-all allocation of states' electoral votes, politicians are incentivized to put all of their effort into battleground/swing states, regardless of size. Presidential candidates spend 99% of their time in swing states, except for when they go to NY/CA/TX/FL to fundraise. Iowa gets attention because it's the earliest primary, not because it's rural.
