A downside of score voting (aka range voting) is that people are likely to have less influence if they vote honestly.

If we image the 2016 election replayed under range voting, I can easily imagine a lot of Clinton voters rating her 6/10 or whatever, and most of the Trump voters rating him 10/10. Even if you have a lot more voters that prefer Clinton, Trump still wins. An advantage of approval voting in that scenario is that it forces everyone to take an extreme position, yes or no, which is what a strategic voter would do. So, you'd have strategic voters and honest voters voting the same way and having the same amount of influence.

Range voting would be great in a primary, though.

> when the whole reason Apple shifted to Intel 14 years ago was thermals? Wouldn’t ARM be better?

The move to Intel wasn't because the instruction set is, for some reason, superior (it isn't), it's because IBM couldn't keep up with Intel's fabrication technology. The G5 chip from 2002 was at 130nm, while the Intel design introduced in 2006 (when 4 year old G5 was the best IBM had to offer) was at 65nm.

The chip they aim for is built on a 28nm process (which has some impact on voltages used and minimum conversion of power into heat). That's definitely not top-class, but good enough: it's about a factor 3 to the state of the art (compared to factor 2 between G5 and Intel Core in 2006), but in absolute terms it's so much closer.

There are enough ARM laptops out there, this provides another venue for more vendor independence (ARM still exerts tight control over its ISA while PowerPC is a close cousin to Power9 which was opened recently). In short, for a project like this, the goal isn't the very best performance on the market, it's "the more the merrier".

France has a .gouv.fr second-level domain but it's not a TLD, and I don't see any reason why it should be .gov.fr instead (.gov is reserved for the US government). France speaks French and the visitors to these sites speak French as well, why not use French names?

There's no need for voting machines, at all. As shown in Scotland, it's perfectly practical to hold an STV election with voters ranking candidates by writing numbers on their ballot papers. This can be adapted straightforwardly to approval voting, IRV, etc.

Also, Scottish voters use four different multi-winner voting systems, showing that even the problem of voter education isn't insurmountable.
It feels like maybe your bias for Obama is clouding your judgement for computers to discover and reproduce patterns in general. Like, what evidence do you have that Obama's speech patterns are easier or harder for ML to discover and reproduce patterns? And if his patterns are harder, what evidence do you have that the increase in complexity is meaningful?

My comment was because of what the article is about: "mayor, public advocate, comptroller, borough president and members of the City Council, starting in 2021"

Maybe you could do PR for City Council, but the other positions are single person positions. I thought your comment was related to the article, which is why I replied like I did.

Also, however... PR has its flaws... it makes the party the unit you are voting for, not the person. Maybe you like one party member but not another; with PR, you can't make that choice, the party does.
Author here. Thank you.

The point is really about docker, not docker swarm. Kubernetes is integrating the whole ecosystem vertically and it's being leveraged to push out docker. There are lots of actors at play incentivized and actively working against docker (not just docker swarm).

I guess it's more of a business and marketing lesson if anything.
People not understanding how their vote affects the outcome is usually considered a downside.
The problem isn't estimates per se but how estimates are used:

1. A commitment that can't change

2. Manipulated to pressure people into work unreasonable hours

3. If something will take "too long", estimates will conflate level of effort with duration and be used, again, to manipulate people into doing unreasonable things

4. Used to cover up a failure to manage projects well

Yes, I suspect we'll see AR on phones/watches well before we'll see it in glasses and associated wearables. There are some AR-ish apps today but they're very limited.

There are a lot of challenges to get glasses right--both from a hardware and a usability/acceptability perspective. But people are already used to using their phones for things so it seems a very natural transition.
Yes. You can look at US Cellular, of all companies, as one on the "bleeding edge" of part of this trend.

Someone will make a lot of money with a much simpler cell phone with a lot of white glove handling of security and OS updates, and just a curated set of apps. Apps designed for these populations and their unique problems (but sensitive to their age related disabilities) will be big, too.

The wider range of voices in the upper houses is due to multi-member electorates, not preferential voting per se.

Australia's hung parliaments are historical aberrations; I expect that the historical pattern of clear lower house majorities to resume over time. The economics of bloc formation and ordinary logistics create constant pressure on any party. It's possible that Labor will be replaced by the Greens, or that they will form a permanent coalition like the Liberals/National/LNP/CLP chimera. But that will still be a de facto 2-party system.
One reason is constitutionality. The "One man, one vote" principal likely has to be upheld for a voting system used in the US to be ruled as constitutional.

Most big business use older software, and the small amount of it that does have an API often does not work correctly or is stable. Sad but true. I've ran into a lot of instances where people automate through the GUI because it is the best option. Developers don't realize this because they don't like working with older technology.

Also, at large orgs, software updates can take _forever_. I know of some examples where updating to the newer version of a B2B software taking 7+ years.

And a lot of those automations will need things like OCR or NLP. Even just out of the box Excel integration is a huge time saver. UiPath has activities built in for that. It's more than just GUI interaction. There's a ton of partner technology with out of the box integrations, and you get frameworks to build your automations on, as well as all of the infrastructure and orchestration.

> The argument is, it is year 1981 of internet in cryptocurrency world.

Fair enough!

> And rate of innovation in cryptocurrency might not be as breakneck as it was in networks.

Any thoughts on why that might be? It seems like there's a whole lot more people looking to carve out businesses in that space than there was in 1981, although I was -2 years old in '81 so I don't know for sure. There is definitively a lot more opportunity for globally-dispersed people to collaborate on things than there was in '81.

I'm really excited to see the "Mosaic" of cryptocurrency, if it ever comes to pass.

> But smart contracts are going to be big, given enough time. Smart-everything requires them to work, and we want smart-everything.

I'm not sure I follow what "smart-everything" means, nor how smart contracts are required for that to happen. It seems like there's a lot of large companies who would be delighted if smart-everything was dependent on long-term subscriptions paid to centralized entities :)

They're caching the resource based on URI only or on HTTP method and URI only is the problem.

If you're caching 400 (which many people have noted is against the RFC and can be troublesome) then you need to make sure you're only caching it for a matching request. If I send a poisoned header and you cache a 400 for my full request including that poisoned header, then that's one thing. If I send a poisoned header and you cache a 400 for all accesses to that URI whether or not they include the header that caused it to be a bad request, that's vulnerable to this BS.

I usually do not let any header through the CDNs. I need to try this attack out on some of our infra, not sure if any of those are affected if you have tight header policy.
Dad worked at a bank (just below CEO). He once said that McKinsey was most useful when you wanted to kill a project diplomatically, and make sure it would stay put. Have McKinsey come in, make the recommendation that X project was no good, and kiss it goodbye with McKinsey absorbing the blame. Other way around was to give projects some extra push and credibility.

There are 1.2 millions houses built in the US every year. I could see the applications pretty vast actually. Another possible idea is for landscaping. Often times a tree will be planted that ends up too big or too small for the space. With an app that can show a tree in the space at various stages in it's life, it could really help in landscape design.

The age of Social Media deception has arrived
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHHQl3ND6bk

Sorry for the chosen video, it may appear to be controversial to some because of who delivers it. I am more concerned about the subject matter presented by it. This video details how Tulsi Gabbard had her YouTube channel pulled at a specific strategic time to influence up-coming elections.

While I am not at all advocating Gabbard as a candidate in this post or IRL, the issue is real, and it signifies an era where manipulation is happening on Social Media. This not only happens for politicians, it can and is happening for people on these platforms regularly now.

It's time we start holding these private companies more accountable, and we start putting pressure on law makers to educate themselves on technology to keep these companies honest before things get much worse.
This is being worked on. The problem is we are terrible at engineering biosystems, CRISPR currently works mainly to knockout genes rather than the kind of enhanced evolution you describe, and upscaling a solution to the point it can have a planetary impact is non-trivial.
This a great resource, I use it regularly as a reference and it would work well as a textbook too.

It's also comprehensive, from traditional statistical methods, linear models & context-free parsing right through to modern neural network-based approaches.

There's been a lot of progress in the past 18 months (mainly the transformer/self-attention model) that I don't think is reflected, but that's probably because it's so recent. I assume this will warrant a mention in future editions.

Out of curiosity, why do you use IntelliJ instead of VSCode for a TypeScript codebase? VSCode was practically purpose-built for TypeScript.
I agree with your criticism, but this still seems like an improvement.
It is depressing how many discussions of voting systems in the US are (a) always being theorised from first principles instead of referring to a century of experience over thousands of elections at all scales from local to national, (b) focus on one (1) mayoral election as "proof" that IRV is "worse" and (c) assume that all counting methods are equal in terms of the logistics of actually counting the ballots.

As an Australian living in the USA it drives me fairly bonkers.

So it was “GCN” for Europe as well. It could be somethings like
“GameCube de Nintendo” in French and Spanish, “GameCube da Nintendo” in
Portuguese, “GameCube di Nintendo” in Italian. Maybe they've decided
that the European and Romance-langauge markets were more important for
some reason?

Either that, or some entity has copyrighted “NGC” in the US or Europe.

Maybe the cache's upstream requests should be normalized with the same routine used to normalize the request into a key to lookup in the cache.

> how much more difficult it is to create a fork that will be discoverable over the original

Part of the problem has been GitHub being unable to even show a fork graph for highly-forked projects. If that instrumentation was in better shape, one might imagine there would be more convergence.

A related challenge is the lack of conventions or infrastructure around describing the intent of a fork.

So instead of a transparent single page summary of a repo's forks, their original vision, actual activity, and relationships... individual consumers each do their own exploratory flailing around - "the github dance". In isolated repetition, as there's no convention/mechanism for sharing "I just spent an hour examining all these forks... here's what I learned, to spare you doing the same".

Perhaps a minimalist alternative to a codeshelter, might be linking to some persistent discussion forum thread, to bless an coordination process, rather than one particular result.

Though which forum has adequate properties... Perhaps use an Issue? Perhaps with some naming convention, like "Relationship to other forks"? "Related Work"? "Forks"?

I've felt GitHub started well, was building out needed infrastructure... but then stalled out with much left undone.

I'm just not sure codeshelter has the right shape. I've found people being briefly motivated to take something over, and then vanishing, to be a common case. So is "simply transfer ownership" the right model? Sometimes no one person wants to own it, but several would be willing to variously chip in, but the coordination barrier for that is currently unnecessarily high.

But maybe someone has already created a "github fork network summarizer" service site, and I've just not yet heard of it? Perhaps the transition from a startup, to a "we're not pathological anymore, really truly" Microsoft, has changed the incentives around supporting parasitic services exploring and addressing niche needs? Could "a better github" information design exercises/services become a thing?
Each platform is independent and tries to fund itself. If I was working/forcing subscriptions, it would be different; I would likely offer a universal access to subscribers. Currently, each platform is friendly priced. On the web, users donate what they want; on mobiles, price is fixed around USD 10 for a lifetime access to all sound generators, current and future (currently 200+). The difference is that I program the web myself and it is my responsibility to live from donations. Mobile apps are subcontracted to a professional coder, hence the difference in models. I know, it is not easy to understand, when you don't know where the project comes from. I can understand your frustration. Feel free to send an email to me if this answer leaves you unsatisfied.

I think part of the issue is the cost of those kinds of movies.

I heard Jackie Chan talk about in an interview. All those great funny stunts aren't really due to anyone's amazing talent. They would just shoot as many takes as they had to. And that's just more expensive.
Indeed, physical comedy is alive and well in the theater.

It may be that physical comedy has a better impact in theater, where it's live, and they're taking the (apparent) risks right in front of you. On film, modern wire work enables a lot of great action, but undercuts the immediacy of it. Jackie Chan did amazing physical comedy on film, because you knew that he was taking Harold Lloyd-type risks.

Physical comedy in the theater is a bit like stage magic: it's practiced carefully and controlled so that they can do it safely every single time. Professional wrestling is also a kind of live physical comedy, taking much bigger risks than any actor would do (and way more than the actors' unions would tolerate).

The Attorney's General Offices are government institutions their budgets and their salaries are set by the legislatures. They don't get bigger budgets and employ more attorneys because they are investigating Facebook. Its the same as any DA/state attorney office, they don't get more money or hire more attorney's because they file more criminal charges.

If anything the government attorneys are hurting themselves professionally because they will be blackballed from ever working at Facebook and likely many other big tech companies.

Was the 1990's MS antitrust investigation and case all smoke and mirrors by attorneys for some private gain also?
