Forgive me, I don't know what you're advocating for here. I greatly appreciate that you're chewing on the policy, problem, tech.

For the USA, I no longer think polls are useful predictors, nor are exit polls useful audits or verification. For polling to work (be useful), like is done in Germany, requires the whole system to be designed as such.

Our gold standard is the Australian Ballot. Private voting, public counting. We weaken this system to extend the franchise, eg absentee ballots.

But the real kicker is our FPTP (winner takes all) election system. It's so brittle. The inevitable error rate intrinsic in any form of voting (casting ballots) coupled with durvergers law virtually ensures drama.

Said another way, my militant defense of the Australian Ballot, this recurring national spaz attack, would be mooted by switching to a more robust form of elections. Ranked choice and proportional representation have the most interest and support, though I prefer Approval Voting for a better balance of fairness and simplicity.

Back to your point about disclosure, if I follow you: I very much would like to see tech, POCs, research into time boxed privacy. Like maybe all election materials, including ballots, are released when an election is certified. Versus hidden and then destroyed a few weeks later. My motivation is to find other balances, equilibria, between people's privacy (and protection) against society's need for confidence in the results.
> she was not particularly bothered that Krauss had touched her breast without permission. That does not make the behavior appropriate.

> It's for Krauss's employer to decide whether that's a firing offense, not her.

Yeah, I think you've made your standpoint abundantly clear.

2 adults had an interaction, both are fine with it, then and now, but being a woman she is clearly not capable of deciding for herself if this was offensive, so you are happy to feel violated on her behalf.
I think you're overthinking it. Throw something out there, try it out, see if it sticks. If it doesn't iterate on it. What won't get someone an icon is if they make it out to be some crazy, specific science that requires years and years of mastery to create. Creating artificial barriers for yourself never gets you closer to your destination.
Today I spent quite some time looking for the mobile app created by my town to allow people to anonymously denounce street harassment and catcalling when they see it. Then I found out it's just a website, and they call that "an app" for some reason.
Life itself is competition...
It's a lot easier to hijack online voting infrastructure than it is to start digging through everyone's mailboxes at the correct time when they happen to actually be sending a ballot out.

The voting period in Washington is 18 days. So someone would have to either be constantly looking through my mail for the better part of three weeks, or have the best luck when it comes to predicting when I would actually send it out, and that's if they got the correct mailbox and I didn't, say, go to a post office or the ballot dropoff boxes. It would be hard to do even for an individual, and much harder to scale up.
But do you see the difference between Boston Dynamics (BD) and {Savioke, Fetch Robotics, Bear Robotics, MiR} ?

BD's robots move using limbs while others use small-er wheels which limits the terrains these robots can be used in.
I've tried it but never got anything but crazy anxiety for my troubles. Maybe I'll try something light on the sativa and heavy on the indica sometime.

I train for maybe ~12 hours a day, some days, especially around Christmas I didn't. I also lost a lot of days when trying out different stuff or when the weights didn't save to drive before the Colab timed out.

Having said that, I was training the full model with an accumulated batch size for a while so it was taking > 10min per step. I've also been using pretty low learning rates for most of the latter stages.

Overall the model is currently at ~11k steps and the loss can actually go down further but after playing with different checkpoints last week, the best one didnt seem to be the newest one so I left it at that one.
This is idiotic beyond belief. Unless you have a verifiable, re-countable paper trail, elections can be made to go whichever way the person running the elections wants them to go. It's as simple as that.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised though. I vote in WA and most people on the ballot seem profoundly unqualified for the positions they're running for. For me it basically boils down to picking the person with the most robust education credentials, unless they're a commie, in which case I pick the next best thing. It's pretty bad. If I were hiring for myself, I wouldn't hire most of these people.
I actually met couple of Vietnamese (not in Vietnam though). They were not very fond of Americans to speak softly. No real hatred either (well they're very polite and I do not really now what their actual feeling were). I do believe that modern Vietmamese people are tolerant and welcomed to a tourists including the Americans. Tourists are income and people that actually did suffer war effect and immediate aftermath are mostly dead now.

Also the US did not bring "the piece and prosperity" to Vietnam unless you mean withdrawing from that murderous war that they started in a first place. What brought a relative prosperity was that their communist government did soften their stance towards market based economy. And feeling some guilt US probably contributed few pesos.
What a beautiful advise, it remembers me of two friends with major depression who stopped taking their meds and thus will not have a bad long term experience with their anti depressants.

Oh, I hear you say that they only should have stopped taking them “if they possibly can”. I’m sure their families now know that they possibly couldn’t.

helm is a vessel that opens up many other things to shine... swoop is fantastic and uses helm for that, the ability to add spaces to your search and it do a match on two fields independently instead of a rigid string match is great too. many things use helm to show lists of things.

Been using YNAB for over 5 years now, since back when it was a pay-once desktop application. Can't live without it at this point.

The best part for me is how it handles where money you earn goes, it always goes to next month, not the current month (granted, after I graduated college it took me a bit to actually get back into this because of living with effectively 0 income for 4 years), so you know that you're already budgeted for the month when you get into it. That feeling is super comforting for me.

Well, I would guess FireFox, sort of. If I recall correctly Rust was created to rewrite FireFox and make it better.

1) I think Apple could easily argue it was planning on leveraging it's chip design and manufacturing expertise into other areas. That's pretty reasonable. I could be seem them exploring licensing some of their IP to other manufacturers for example - ARM servers are gaining traction and Apple is a leader in the ARM space

2) Seems like the whole "rival" piece is not material to the lawsuit itself and is just a bit of editorializing on Reuters' part. The lawsuit probably centers on duty of loyalty and breach of contract
The point was that drone strikes / bombings were dramatically increased under Obama and never really stopped. I also noted that it didn't decrease with Trump.

In either case, offering cloud services to the Government isn't really an authoritarian position.
> in California, Proposition 13 lowered the legal tax rate and also changed the assessed value to be the price that you (or your ancestors thanks to Proposition 58 and 193) originally acquired the property, adjusted for inflation.

No, it didn't.

It's the lower of the actual fair market value or the value at time of qualifying event (mostly purchase and other non-exempt transfer, but certain improvements also are included at their full value) plus 2%/year. The actual rate of inflation is not a factor.

My brother and I once toyed with the idea to build a website that explored, compared and offered sources for commercial, or at least, higher-grade alternatives to consumer-level fixtures, valves, switches, HVAC and appliances. A site aimed at people who are doing remodels or building anew. Why not the marine-grade brass quarter-turn valve for the water mains or toilets? Or the much-superior commercial-grade sillcocks? Gas furnaces with electric/gas fan motors that continue to function in a power-outage?

In the scheme of a remodel or new-construction adding the high-quality, durable options is a small expense and saves on very expensive repairs down the road where you have to pay $2,000 to replace an item that would only have cost a few dollars more to install one that will almost never need replacing.

Alas, we never did anything with the idea.
> What you're missing is that this is not akin to the teams you have lead at work. Those teams are working towards delivering some product: the team exists for some outside purpose, and has an exterior goal.

Good call.

> As an aside: when someone has said, "I experience this bad thing," it's bad form to continually questions them on the dimensions of their experience of that bad thing. I assume you are doing this in good faith, and haven't thought about it from this perspective.

It seems I need to find a better way to recognize when a conversation has gotten into this territory. This could be one of those social-interaction observations that many find intuitive, but I need to have explained. I'm genuinely grateful for you pointing this out.

When someone makes a "Show HN" post, I've been assuming that they're interested in discussing the project's motivation in some depth. I gave some thought about whether or not I was drilling too far into the motivations, but I couldn't think of any likely answer that would be too painful to bring up in a public forum.

I also hoped that phrasing my question as "Would you mind sharing a bit about what those topics are?" would clearly indicate that I wasn't sure how far down this topic the author wanted to go, and that I didn't mean to pry. I figured worst-case scenario, the OP would ignore any questions she felt went too far.
Zygna did something similar to CA, so have previous campaigns. Plenty of blame to go with engagement algorithms and suppressing things with Orwellian terms like "unbiasing" and filtering auto complete results and having execs allow behavior since they're on the same side. I think the past is being looked at through rose colored lenses. New media enables more people to capture and share as opposed to the official mouth pieces of traditional broadcast media setting the story. Tech is just a thing, people inside echo chambers and settling for the first thing that agrees with them is the exact opposite of critical thinking.
Being emacs, there's a bunch of different ways to do this.

I use Cask: https://cask.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/installation.htm...

Let's consider Homebrew bundle etc outside of scope and assume you have some workflow that works for you to init a new machine with emacs and some other apps, and you're just worried about the zillions of little emacs packages you are testing or using.

So, I have a file called at ~/.emacs.d/Cask, that is just a list of packages on which I depend. This is the only way I install packages. Update the file and do "cask install".

This also means if you're packages get weird, or you have some sort of transient .elc problem you can just blow away ~/.emacs.d/.cask and do a 'cask install' (basically .cask ~= node_modules)
As an Emacs neophyte and vi vicenarian, I'd love to know why you ended up ditching evil alongside the other goods. I see the ortholinearity of e-mail and vcs in an editor, but evil seemed to me living within the editor, rather than atop it. Appropriately: a minor mode rather than a major. Like, say, editorcfg. Was this not your experience?
A big challenge I'm seeing is when it comes to tests. Even though it is documented in the contribution guide and - I'd like to think - fairly easy to get running (Clone, `npm i`, `npm test`) many first time bug-fixes or features do not include tests.
I'm with you on that one. The original murex syntax was very Javascript inspired. In fact it was even object oriented and originally called "jsh". The ironic thing is I hate JS as a language - though that's less about the syntax and more about other specific grips.

Anyhow, first I made quoting strings optional, because mandatory quotes were fucking annoying for regular use. Then the parentheses disappeared. Then the object orientated model was dropped.

Murex is a very different language now to what it was when it started; though there are still some legacy features in there which are throwbacks to early designed (eg the default data-type is called "generic", which made sense when it was OO as generic was meant to handle any content but makes less sense now that it's a first party type in its own right).

There's definitely a lot wrong with murex though. It's a long way off being a proper language. But for shell work, it has been my default daily shell for a few years now. I also use it for writing any shell scripts albeit just stuff for personal use.

From what you've posted, I'd be very interested if you ever designed a shell language. It sounds like you and I have similar desires for what the next iteration of UNIX shells should look like.

A bunch of engineering directors were brought in from external sources a few years back, and that really changed the atmosphere.

Before then, we seemed to try to hire smart engineers and give them independence to solve problems. Those new directors lowered the hiring bars to grow their teams, and the culture got way more rigid and corporate.
Here's a recent anarchist podcast on the subject. I note the political orientation because clearly that impacts the interpretation of the events, but it was an interesting listen, I thought:

Arguably, though, an app is more than just the sum of its feature list. Also, even if a feature is desirable when considered in a vacuum, that doesn't necessarily imply that adding it will improve the product.

Somewhere in between $very_long_ago and $long_ago, I stopped using a well-known personal finance app because I grew dissatisfied with it overall. It gained all sorts of genuinely useful capabilities over that time period, and didn't shed any, but still managed to become less functional (for my purposes) at the same time. I ended up replacing it with a competitor whose feature list was much, much, much smaller.

My point was, the subject at hand isn't really necessarily about what is happening with DoD, and if anything would more likely be reduced harm.

I'm not a proponent of our foreign engagements at all... however, this isn't the place where such a line should be drawn. I find that anywhere the government can more effectively reduce costs and/or improve it infrastructure should generally be preferred.

The purpose of a law designed in the interest of individual privacy, yes, but at least in America companies get a huge amount of say on what gets passed because they vote with their profits. The reality is that most of the laws are bad because they're considerate of private profit accumulation when, in reality, that profit directly harms the privacy of individuals. We continue to pretend as a society that these two desires can be reconciled.
According to https://keybase.io/blog/chat-apps-softer-than-tofu ephemeral messages are indeed forward secure, but normal messages are not, strictly speaking.

IMhO, Keybase is adequate to protect against spying from ISPs, Ad agencies, journalists, etc but doesn't offer resistance against a formidable foe like a state actor, but then neither does most of the devices on which Signal is run.
I think as awful this sounds, it is also why often adhd people can synthesize a lot of information very quickly because their brains have this rapid association chain which can lead to absolutely lucid insights, downside is that it's hard for them to stay on topic and not go into rambling monologue mode.

I've read significant portions of Butler's work, most of the basic recommendations on Critical Theory, Legal Critical Theory, and post-third way Progressivism.

And to be honest, despite all that, I still genuinely can't comprehend this argument.

If you accept this argument (and it seems you do), then I really encourage you to deeply study it's foundations with a critical eye because it rests on a faulty basis.
The primary reason I boot into Windows is to play videogames, especially VR, which just isn't stable on Linux yet. But that's not a bad compromise either; my Windows boot is for companies that are happy to sneak rootkits onto the OS to detect cheaters, and honestly I'm totally okay declaring my Windows partition unsafe, and booting back to a sane OS to do real work.

It's really a shame, because the core OS underneath Windows 10 is fairly solid. It's specifically the user interface and Microsoft's behavior around telemetry and advertising their own products at the expense of the end user that turns me off Windows as a platform. Like, I feel like if they focused on making Windows a solid and boring OS that was so stable and reliable that no other choice made sense, their overall brand image would improve so much. Experiment elsewhere, the OS is not the place to tarnish your users' good will.

Setting aside this abhorrent behavior and the entire question of "smart" appliances and anti-consumer behaviors, I would like to point out:

It would be trivially easy - as in, as easy as Legos - to use push fittings (such as sharkbites) and a short, extra length of hose and cheap in-line filter to insert a pre-filter just before the refrigerator.

You would then gain the ability to change the filter with any you like, anytime you like, and the interior filter of the refrigerator would last, basically, forever.

Seriously - no plumbing involved - you are putting together 2-3 pieces from the hardware store, like Legos.
Came here to say this. I use both and Personal Capital works better for investments than Mint and Mint for other things. I am still not satisfied with Mint Budgeting and I am currently trying YNAB. Mint sync with banks works better than all and YNAB is not intuitive to use (at least for me) . Maybe I am not the right demographic.

This is institutional, i'm not suggesting just 'talk it out' with people. You need a complete paradigm shift in legislation to even begin talking about the structures needed to be put in place to help educate people.

Did you miss the part where I specifically said, "Personally, I do think our foreign deployments and presence should absolutely be dramatically reduced."
I think the precursors are very important in understanding this. In India, before the current Modi regime, there was a strong need for a strong leader. Congress (previous ruling party) suffers from Family rule and sycophants. Modi looked like a god-send to the masses. Now with a strong majority and into the 2nd term, the Fascist undertones are starting to emerge.
