If you wish to share it, I'd find it interesting to know how it went. About the fear and thoughts of not doing it right, they are more stuff to watch and do nothing about.

In person voter fraud requires a large base of conspirators who are never caught, committing a federal crime on behalf of a political actor who also needs to somehow incentivize them to do so without being caught.

Whereas suppressing turn out just requires making it difficult for someone to have a bunch of ID they normally don't need on them in any part of their lives.

These laws are never just "photo ID" - they're always a box truck of weird edge rules about the type of ID.
Wow...I basically never let webpages use my location, but I did for this one, and it landed about 200 feet from my apartment. That's crazy accurate! How can an IP be linked to a geolocation that closely?
Drinking the same amount of OJ will also make you fat. If OJ is too tart choose another type of orange like mandarin oranges. They're just as cancerous to rats and you can drink them like fruit punch as they are not tart.

The point is "gives rats cancer" bascially has no meaning. As another example chocolate is poison to dogs. Does that mean humans shouldn't eat chocolate foods or drink chocolate drinks?

Humans also eat plently of things that are toxic. Most spicy peppers are toxic if eaten in the quantities needed to induce by other substances in rats. So is vinegar, wine, cheese, pickles, ...

Ever heard of that super toxic dihydrogen oxide. About 360,000 people die every year from it, some with as little 120grams (1/2 a cup)

Benchmarking a full sweep with 0 objects to free in Julia:

julia> @benchmark GC.gc()
BenchmarkTools.Trial:
memory estimate: 0 bytes
allocs estimate: 0
--------------
minimum time: 64.959 ms (100.00% GC)
median time: 66.848 ms (100.00% GC)
mean time: 67.062 ms (100.00% GC)
maximum time: 73.149 ms (100.00% GC)

Julia's not a language normally used for real time programs (and it is common to work around the GC / avoid allocating), but it is the language I'm most familiar with.

Julia's GC is generational; relatively few sweeps will be full. But seeing that 65ms -- more than 300 times slower than 200us -- makes me wonder.

It would be an investment and an asset, yes. If you take a loan for the smaller house you can pay it off using the rent of the bigger house. At the end you will have two houses. It can be a gift to your children as they do not have to struggle in life to buy a house which is a real pain.

Comparing it with education, you cannot transfer education and its value. It will die with you. In IT there is a chance that your education will get outdated really soon with no value. This is similar to the housing market but atleast in this case there is a chance that the market will go up. In case of IT education there is no chance and the value will hit zero. For your retirement a house giving constant rent is I think your most valuable asset as you never know if you outlive your retirement savings.

Everyone thinks about things in their own way I suppose, but perhaps a way to parse it could be to think about whether you're approaching data from a "load and store" mentality or a "truth and snapshot" mentality.

In my mind, unless you wrap the entire programming round trip in a transaction, all data sitting in variables are a snapshot of the past and thus stale by definition.
That is correct, sort of. If you have never had a credit card or taken out an auto loan (or student loan, or mortgage,etc...) then there are no data points on your credit report. You are still "tracked" though - you would simply have a low credit score because there is no data to determine your credit worthiness.

I was in college then. My first internet connected app that I wrote was gopher based in 1994. You couldn’t find any useful information from most publications, it was basically useless for research, you definitely couldn’t do too much shopping. Shopping for computer equipment was still done by browsing the huge Computer Shopper magazines.

There wasn’t an easy way an easy way to search Usenet until 1995 when DejaNews became available. You would have never had the investment in internet infrastructure that allows everyone to get internet speeds at home that were unheard of even for businesses that were usually connected via a T1 if they had any internet at all.

Is this really true? Do millenials or younger people in general have an aversion to meeting strangers in public? Perhaps teaching kids not to talk to strangers has gone too far; I fear that if society has default_distrust_strangers=True, that could be pretty harmful.

Personally I love meeting new people in real life. It's quite refreshing compared to the highly curated experience of "discovering" people online, if that's even the right word for it.
Ummm. HCL (google contractor) is making a ton of money... they did 1.4 BILLION in net income. Stock price from 76 to 1,000 INR. They are doing fine working for google.

I'm not aware of almost anyone (network infra contractors / team build soft touch providers) who historically haven't been paid very reasonably for their work working for google.

And Google does business with contractors who have unionized employees. I'm not aware of them caring too much about that either.

Google does thousands of H1bs and has something like a 99% approval rate even under trump so they don't mind working with international folks.

Socially we are conditioned to not question legacy admissions, while being very critical of affirmative action. Your comment is an example of this.

Consider: Table 6, which you cited, shows that legacy dunces (3rd decile) have a better chance of getting into Harvard than academic toppers (top decile) who aren't legacies. Yet you chose to focus on the much smaller gap between admit rates of African Americans and Asian Americans.

San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley Named Most Expensive US Region
Having known lots of people in the lending industry not a single one of them believes that the current credit rating system (with many I’ve talked to pointing out FICO in particularly) had any real net positive impact on the average person not so they seem to believe that banks or other lending institutions have derived any other even fit than a loophole for setting interest rates high for as many people as possible.

I think we should just go back to what we did before credit ratings, which was basically best due diligence and requiring just a little bit more documentation for a loan application

I also think in lieu of this the government can be a net positive here. In the EU this is the norm from what I understand
A credit score is different from simply a registry. A registry is just a record.

A score is opaque based on proprietary models, and scores can still be derived by private companies.

I just binge watched this. It was a really nice documentary.

Some of the things I didn't know about Bill Gates -

1. He loves diet coke! At one time he opens a refrigerator and it's only stacked with diet coke cans.

2. He reads a crazy amount of books. And he reads them, takes notes and is able to retain all that information. I found that remarkable.

3. He works hard. Really hard. And he takes on problems which seem insurmountable. Whether it's polio eradication, clean water, or nuclear reactors. And he approaches the problems from a technical point of view.

Some of the lines which I liked -

Director: I looked into the most prevalent criticisms of you, and this one actually seems the most relevant. "He's a technophile that thinks that technology will solve everything."

Bill: Yeah, I'm basically guilty of that. Any problem... I will look at how technical innovation can help solve that problem. It's the one thing I know and the one thing I'm good at. And so, you know, that's my hammer. And so lots of problems look like nails because I've got a hammer.

Director: Is there a part where you say, "This is way too hard, I took on too much, I quit".

Bill: Sometimes, you really do have to say, "Let's give up". And sometimes, you have to just say, "I need to work harder"

Mary Gates (Bill's mother): "Each one of us has to start out with developing his or her own definition of success. And when we have these specific expectations of ourselves, we're more like to live up to them. Ultimately, it's not what you get or even what you give. It's what you become."

My state lets me get a state ID even if I don't have a driver's license. The ID has my current address on it and my face too. I think that's plenty of proof.

Also, the DMV offices, where I can get my state ID has plenty of locations and they're open often enough and long enough every day that it doesn't prevent people from getting their ID.

Between those two, I think we're doing a pretty good job of keeping enough people honest that voter suppression or voting fraud aren't big enough issues here.
The minorities argument is hogwash. Read the list of things you can't do without a government ID and ask yourself how many are not doing any of those: have a bank account, getting a cellphone, buy alcohol or cigarettes, apply for food stamps or welfare or medicaid/social security, apply for unemployment or a job, rent/buy a house, drive/buy/rent a car, fly, get married, etc etc

So what is the real story?

This makes no sense. Banks can set whatever interest rate they want. It's in their best interest to give trustworthy people as low as interest rate as they can.
Anecdata: I recently read a thread in /r/NYC about using the subway. A comment there really rang true that many people would rather use google to figure out which direction a station's trains are heading than simply ask the people coming out of the station. If you assume people who would be savvy enough to do this would skew younger than yes, I can see it as true.

Second anecdata: I manage a fairly large team of millenials, and to the person they generally describe themselves as highly introverted, to the point that it seems radical that when I'm in meetings with customers simple things like asking customers questions for clarification seem crazy to them.
I heard this fraud implemented in Texas forces low income people without vehicles to travel 400+ miles by bus to the nearest DMV to get the correct replacement voting documentation (many seniors/disabled).

When conservatives (racists) attack voters using economics (in this case a voter tax), they know precisely which non-white voters they are targeting.
Voter ID laws to start. It’s a modern day poll tax to require ID to vote which prevents a crime barely anyone is even committing that doesn’t scale easily to sway most elections.

I haven’t seen Republicans calling for easy access to IDs though and their efforts to suppress voting from people who side with the left are notorious.

Their gerrymandered maps are being struck down in places like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and N. Carolina.

They conveniently close polling locations in minority neighborhoods.

They oppose election security bills. (McConnell until recently).

They oppose informing the public about election interference (McConnell).

Their PACs refuse to disclose donor information.

They’re pro dark money in elections.

Trump just tried to pressure the Ukranian leader for dirt on Biden.

The electoral college heavily favors Republicans and has given them at two Presidents in the last twenty years alone who lost the popular vote.

When Democrats are elected they’ll obstruct their Supreme Court nominations until they can put in their own.

The Senate heavily favors rural populations with the Dakota’s receiving four Senators with a population just over one million while California gets two with just under forty million people.

McConnell won’t even bring bills passed by the House to the floor of the Senate and has referred to himself as the Grim Reaper.

Republicans do not support making election days national holidays.

Republicans consistently try to scale back poll hours and early access voting.

Republicans are anti-democracy and a grave danger to our free nation at this point and it’s terrifying. They use every trick in the book to undermine the populace’s ability to elect leaders that do not serve the rich and the rich only. They stand for absolutely nothing except tax cuts, profits, unbridled corruption, and the selling off of America’s resources wholesale to the highest bidder.

Sure, if you had a free and convenient citizen ID card, requiring ID to vote might be just fine.

As it is currently, it's absolutely a way to suppress the vote of low-income (and minority) people. In many areas of many states getting photo ID is non-trivial, especially if you're in a shitty job.

> Because even if you don't use it directly, you might use some code that uses it.

It seems extremely unlikely that any general purpose code you might adopt, which happens to invoke malloc() at all, would be fit for purpose in such a restricted environment without substantial modification; in which case you would just remove the malloc() calls as well.

> And even then, it might not ever be called given the way you are reusing the code, so...a dynamic check is the best way to ensure it never actually gets used.

In such a restricted environment, it is unlikely you just have unknown deadcode in your project. "Oh, those parts that call malloc()? They're probably not live code and we'll find out via a crash at runtime." That's like the opposite of what you want in a hard realtime system.

So, no — a static, compile/link time check is a strictly superior way to ensure it never gets used.
The way Python has macros, sure :)

You would have to keep everything in variants, or wrap/unwrap manually all over the place to get similar functionality.

And C has tagged unions.
That's plausible, but not how OP defined it:

> a system where malloc() was forbidden. In fact it always returned null.
How about all the uninhabitable land from other power sources? There’s plenty of Superfund sites from traditional power generation.

If you’re going to criticize, be sure to apply the same standard to all methods.

When you dig into it carefully, you’ll find nuclear to be one of the cleanest, safest solutions, taking into account cost to build and externalities, cost for waste, lifetime of the plant, etc.

And modern designs don’t render a place dangerous after failure. That’s 1950 talking, not 2019. Google nuclear reactor safety and read about it. You’ll be surprised.

It’s not the terror so many associate with the word nuclear.
I started with C actually, but good ui is hard, and I decided to use Lua for a reason of not writing it all in C and hand-optimized style. I was forced to write ugly non-allocating code anyway, which defeated that idea completely. To focus your efforts, there must be a reason for these efforts in the first place.
