The thing is is that ballots aren't permanently stored at the polling location, they eventually need to be transported to a central location for auditing and storage.

In the past, polling places with lax security could "lose" an entire box of ballots. Nowadays, if a couple thousand ballots disappear from a certain zip code, the authorities would be on it pretty quickly.

In Washington state where I live and has email balloting, the central location is a secure county election facility that invites citizens to visit in person and through the internet to watch the counting process as it happens.

>Sure, but batteries are far more 'core' to Tesla's businesses than trucking or car carriers.

That's true, but I'm not sure it makes any more sense than car carriers. The cells that Tesla users for their battery packs are commodity products. Why would you bother to try to manufacture those? I mean, batteries are core to Apple's business too, but they aren't producing them.

The value-add is in their pack technology. The move back to vertical integration is odd.
Believe it's 4 hours. I have a pair and always find time during the day to recharge them if need be. Usually lunch is a good time to put them back in the case.

Testimony Before the House Antitrust Subcommittee
> It seems perfectly reasonable to me that people would want to protect themselves if they don't have any assurances that developers won't just build ugly tower blocks.

If developers want to build ugly tower blocks, and people would actually buy those blocks, why stop them? Just because I bought my house ten years ago doesn't give me the right to stop someone from building something "ugly". At least, it shouldn't.

It's important to remember that just because the law says, "you can now build a thing", that doesn't mean the thing will get built. First, the current property owner has to sell, and sell at a price that it makes sense to build the ugly thing. Then a developer has to want to take the risk of building the thing.

It turns out, making it legal to build things doesn't really mean they spring up instantly. It's a slow process that takes decades to play out.

In the 70s, a section of San Francisco that was zone single family only was rezoned to dual/triple/quads-allowed. Since the 70s, only a few of the single family have been torn down and replaced with quads.

If you're interested in the project you can still access the source code.

Hell, the author asked for volunteers to pick up where he left off.

Yet, you're only complaining that he is no longer working for you and complying with your personal whims.

That's the problem. A guy volunteers himself and donates his expertise and work to give you a gift, and in return some moochers just want to mooch off of him and, worse, attack him for not complying with their whims.
I think the real feature is that you're in full control: the Transparency option is basically the opposite of noise-cancelling, giving you full operational awareness in a noisy environment without taking the headphones out. It's even trivial to switch between them (pinch and hold the stem).

The real use for noise-cancelling isn't city-walking, but airplanes, crowded coffee shops, etc. :)
Absolutely. When I'm in a controlled space but it's noisy, noise canceling is great. I just can't empathize with cutting myself off from my surroundings like that if I'm walking down a sidewalk in a city.
It's that a RISK of increase, is being substituted a guarantee.

And, I should clarify, I was speaking about the authors range of starting a family around age 35.

> Additionally: do you want to deal with a baby when you're 25 or when you are 40 or, worse, 50, that keeps you awake all night?

I see that as personal choice, and each family should be able to make that choice for themselves by understanding and weighing the risks.

Not be scared into making a decision with misleading statistics.

Me personally, I had the means at age 38, that I could hire a night doula (and nearly did). Infants usually begin sleeping through the night ~6 months, coinciding with them starting solid foods (breastmilk tends to go through a baby quickly) while solids take longer to digest. As I was on the cusp of my little guy starting solids, I tried a couple different things first:

* Used a sleep sack

* Moved his pack-n-play outside my room

Both helped him sleep through the night.

So ~6 months wasn't terrible. I also have a unique situation that helps me cope with elevated levels of stress.

For our first child, we had a live-in nanny.

I got to enjoy living for myself from 25-35, that when I settled down to start a family, I was able to focus on that.
Around 11 years. Sorry, HN suggested I “repost” this Show HN. I should also repost the description I wrote!
The RT article doesn't say anything about disgust, so why bother linking to it?

The Politifact article does involve aversion, but only aggregated with disinterest:

"The percentage of women who responded they were not interested in sex at all or felt an aversion to it was 60.3 percent for ages 16-19 and 31.6 percent for ages 20-24. Combine the age groups, and the average response was about 46 percent negative — the figure that drove attention-grabbing stories in Western media."

To interpret the numbers differently, a net 30% of Japanese girls aged 16-19 become interested in sex within 5 years.

I tried looking for the original report to disaggregate lack of interest and aversion, but I only found it on Amazon and don't feel like buying it. https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4930807085

> Obviously the stakes are wildly different

This point pretty much invalidates your argument. When making a moral decision like this, determining the stakes and the consequences of remaining silent is a critical part of the moral evaluation.

In the case of the rollercoaster, silence could have deadly consequences for the riders. Not so much for the code. (Sure it's possible that someone might use it in a life-critical situation, and it could fail in a way that would cause loss of life, but assuming from the outset that this is a strong possibility is quite the stretch.)
In Poland about the same, but with an interesting twist: it's not the company, or CEO, or HR, that risk a fine; the first person fined is your direct manager, personally. Works like a charm, I have to admit.
The MWP was a local phenomenon; per wikipedia

> The Medieval Warm Period (MWP) also known as the Medieval Climate Optimum, or Medieval Climatic Anomaly was a time of warm climate in the North Atlantic region lasting from c. 950 to c. 1250.[1] It was likely[2] related to warming elsewhere[3][4][5] while some other regions were colder, such as the tropical Pacific

.. which implies that Japan may have been slightly colder at the time.

(Neatly illustrates that computing global average temperature from a set of local measurements is not as simple as it sounds, because there may also be local climate phenomena)
So, stop buying them? As long as people continue to value absolute cheapest crap over quality, even if it means frequent returns, Amazon will continue to do what it does.
No, it's reasonable to criticize them no matter what because they're preventing other people from having the same opportunities that they were afforded.
I wish all company execs made straightforward and human-sounding statements like this one in response to questions about difficult matters.
There's a reasonable case for the impact of climate change here: the drought in Australia has been partly caused by the reversal of the Indian Ocean gyre, which is linked to climate change, and the fires occurred during a heatwave, during a time when heatwave are becoming more common, which is also linked to climate change.

Like you I'm also frustrated by the dogmatism around climate change. I think the majority of people on both sides have chosen their position on the basis of political allegiance and social identity rather than a consideration of both sides, and that's a really big problem because it moves the debate away from observable reality and into the realm of politics.
I dunno, I think it might make them more fun in internet discussion forums.
> tax advantages of moving states is just too trivial

It’s not. For a family with $85,000 a year, getting rid of state tax could mean an extra several hundred dollars a month in income.
"When asked about colleagues’ reactions to taking time off, he adds: They would react negatively. They will not say anything directly to that person but they will speak ill of that person behind their back"

This nails it. That pang of guilt and horror knowing you'll be reacted to in such a seemingly viscous way just stops you dead in your tracks.

I think the silly thing is it's always framed as "maintaining the group harmony" but it's more like maintaining the group misery.

Why do the co-workers react the way they do? It's such a bitter way to react. "I can't take time off because you'd be mad at me for doing so, because it would put you out, yet you're ok with taking time off and putting me out? What kind of bullshit is that? I'm definitely very mad at you!".

So the idea is that you don't want to do anything that would make anyone mad at you because "that's not what Japanese do".

It's just so circular.
Unfortunately what has happened is we've reached such a tipping point of inequality (and red tape) that it is no longer worth the investment of catering to the middle class. The windfall from selling just one luxury apartment is greater than the profits from selling ten middle class houses, and there are enough plutocrats buying their daughters' tenth condos to make selling the luxury apartments feasible on the market. Welcome to endgame capitalism.
Edited mine to correct this. I think the Berkeley case has had a chilling effect on other universities, such as Stanford. They also have not released lecturers since then as far as I can tell.

Great synopsis of the article. Nothing about GP's comment relates to the article's points. In case anyone's reading these comments who hasn't read the article, it's super worth reading.
As a direct answer, a few friends built Project Wren to do exactly this! You can offset your own carbon footprint (or some multiple of it) and gift offsets to others. They went through YC this summer and are doing great work to make this easy and transparent.

Programming shouldn't exist. Problem solving, algorithm development and logic decomposition/recombination should exist instead.

To me, and I presume to the author, "no code" doesn't mean no engineering but the exact opposite: do away with mechanic vocabulary to vocabulary translation work and focus on the actual skills, which are decomposing requirements into atomic units of work and (re-)combining them in a manner making the domain understandable if expressed as code.

Forgive me for I live in a bubble so I don't know a great deal about why someone would spend that many years in school to land a 77k job. I also don't know much about compensation structure (ex: is comp == salary or are there other components?)

Yes, and you're making the same mistake that you're railing against: if you're going to invoke some sort of moral imperative to do something, you have to examine the risk of what can happen if you do nothing. In the case of something like Heartbleed, yes, the consequences of silence could be quite high. But I just can't see the same argument against remaining silent for this web framework.

It's also a matter of degree and thoroughness. There's a huge difference between "I've found a specific exploitable vulnerability in this security library and here is a proof-of-concept exploit", and "after a cursory look, I see this rust code uses a lot of `unsafe` and I'm uncomfortable with that".
The decrease in fertility with age is a biological reality, but I also suspect it's influenced by attrition selection and stress, and looks worse because of it. Fecundability seems to be roughly linear with age, and gravid women have significantly higher fecunability ratio from 40-45 than nulligravid women do.

> In this preconception cohort study of North American pregnancy planners, increasing female age was associated with an approximately linear decline in fecundability.

Yeah that’s the point of it, if you grab a country near the equator and drag to the poles it will balloon.

It’s about showing relative sizes of countries by placing them at the same point on the projection than it is about creating a projection with accurate absolute sizes.
Can someone help me interpret these two graphs? The updated one seems to be a lot smoother across the frequency range if a bit less effective on average. Maybe smoother noise cancelling is better in some perceptual way?
I found the argument that this was self-refuting fairly convincing.

If you're a boltzmann brain, then anything you think you know about anything is illusory and based on nothing at all, including the idea that you could be a bolzmann brain.

I think this also applies, although less convincingly, to most theories that the world is illusory or a simulation.

In any case, it doesn't matter because you'll stop existing momentarily.
Software ones can be good or bad, but software adjacent ones can be downright ridiculous.

I grew up in Central California and then lived in the Bay Area from 2001 until 2010. Had kids, and a online job, so we next moved to the Sierra Nevada foothills, where we lived for a decade.

We moved to a suburb of Houston, Texas about a year ago. Best decision ever.

In a nutshell:

Overall, quality of life has gone way up.

Taxes have gone down.
Wages have gone up.
Everything is cheaper, which means we all get to do more fun stuff.

On the negative side of the equation: The avocados are smaller here.
My Bose QC20 from 4 years ago have a specific function for this in their noise cancellation (so eg you can ear and talk with the flight attendant for your food, while still having strong noise cancellation of other things like plane engine noise).

So not only what you're talking about is entirely possible, you can also have it done by type/frequency of noises.

This is sort of one of the metrics James Fallows outlined in his book, "China Airborne". In order to build a competitive airliner, it requires integration of so many discipline: metallurgy, software, aeronautics, engineering, etc. He argues that when China can build a competitive airliner, their development can be said to have to be on par with the West.
Oh wow you're right, the "stuffed ears" feeling is gone! This is great! I've been using transparency mode for a while so I didn't even notice.

This is the only mention of anything associated with his work, and it's not even hyperlinked. It's a fund at that, not a platform, and he doesn't even make an attempt at any kind of solicitation in the post. If this is an attempt at advertising it's a pretty poor one.
I've been guilty of that myself. Question is, which problem? There are so many problems (some of them personal, some of them management won't say out loud) and everyone has their own priority queue.

Maybe the real problem isn't even technical. Maybe Jim and Tom just hate each other because something happened when they first met. We can keep arguing about haproxy vs nginx 'til the cows come home, or I could say to myself, "Hey, they both listen to Kevin, I'm gonna go ask him for a favor..." but that's kinda passing the buck.

My biggest success not falling back to other people for this was Ben, who yelled at me - in an open office plan - the first time I asked him for help. It took most of a year of me making smalltalk at the coffee machine before he was happy to see me coming, instead of avoiding eye contact. I think at some point he figured out we think alike on certain BS technical limitations, and then I started getting smiles.

If you can't tell from this that I'm fond of cats, especially shy or cantankerous ones, well...
The original argument was that electoral college "localizes" statewide corruption. I pointed out it didn't. Whether a popular election is also susceptible to statewide corruption is a different matter - of course it is, but unlike electoral college, a corrupt state can never wield disproportionate power.

Between the two of you, why did you stay in workforce?
Because of a change in direction of the company. People often have skills and ambitions that relate to specific tasks. If the company no longer wants to do those tasks, those people can become redundant.

As a wrinkle to this conversation, Amazons product and treatment of customers/vendors causes even more harm to the environment. People buy more things that they are unsatisfied with than ever before. There are more returns than ever before. There are likely millions more frivolous purchases and many thousands of tons of cardboard and non-recyclable plastics generated each year thanks to Amazon Prime.
If I had a dollar for every time someone mentioned prestige for why we should be doing something I'd have had enough to fund one of those dumb projects.
The NOAA system has a name: SAME, or Specific Area Message Encoding[1]. As the name implies, those three bursts actually contain a whole packet of information regarding the incoming message, including areas of effect, hazard type, duration, source of the alert, etc. There are pieces of software out there that let you decode the packets, and some let you encode your own, like minimodem[2]. Do be aware that transmitting valid SAME packets over broadcast media tends to be very poorly viewed by the FCC because it actually triggers mechanisms in the broadcast system, as GP noted.

__jal's comment was ambiguous. I think they may have been saying the opposite: that not all conservatives are bigots, and that it's unfair on conservatives to brand bigotry as conservatism.
Which part of Texas? I feel like the heat, humidity, and conservatives would get to me.

Edit: What I meant by "conservatives" was not the people. They are entitled to their opinion. What I meant was how they would affect me and my kids. For example, by choosing what textbooks my kids get to use (which are basically the California textbooks with all the "Americans weren't the good people here" parts taken out).
The issue is that the listing is for a genuine product, but then you get sent a fake (even when 'fulfilled by Amazon')

Yes from her description it does seem like childcare would help a lot. But one of the other things she mentions is the moving (city/state) as well as travel. But sure looks like childcare would go a long way in helping.
