Hey guys, you done messed up - no more lack of disclosure. Your company will probably be dissolved due to this hilariously well publicized failure.

> The company’s mission is to help advance Democratic causes and candidates, and its employees were excited to have an important role in Iowa’s historic presidential caucus.

That sounds noble and all, but also pretty silly - how was your solution ever going to help "advance Democratic causes and candidates" purely by serving as a drop-box for everyone to upload voter tallies to. The employees at your company can feel excited to be working to support the DNC - but it's really a stretch to claim that your vote tallying solution was advancing Democratic causes. It's like claiming, as a car manufacturer, that you're excited to help advance the cause of addressing back problems because some of the people who might buy your car end up driving to staples and buying a new office chair.

Pointing out that the currently default structure could be replicated by other means currently available is no argument for keeping it the default. It is not in fact some God-given design to which all paths must inevitably converge. Clearly the author is proposing that it be discouraged one way and another over a period of time; your characterisation of that as an impossible task is backed up only by speculation.
>Why isn't the DNC harder on crap like this?

Well, for starters, because the DNC doesn't run the Iowa caucus.

The DNC is composed of Clinton loyalists who want to stop Bernie Sanders from winning the nomination. John freaking Podesta was named to the Rules Committee for the national convention in Milwaukee.
I really don't think its okay to be criticizing the job history of people. Everyone did something before they were a developer. You used to shit yourself daily, but we don't bring it up during code review. So i don't see how a previous position that lead towards being a developer is grounds for derogatory commentary.
Only best. Aged meat tastes better.
This is a political response but I think it's important to highlight that the DNC seems quite enthused about Buttigieg, lowering the likelihood that they'll pursue anything about a connection between his campaign and Shadow when compared to more fringe candidates like Warren, Steyer, Yang or Sanders.

Apparently you also have to trust all the other anonymous users of the exchange. From their risk disclosure:

Trading the Futures exposes you to credit risk. This is the risk that one or more of your counterparties have deposited insufficient Collateral into their Account(s) such that you may not receive some or all the Digital Asset they owe you

So this exchange lets you place a trade, but even if you win, the counterparty might not pay you! This, coupled with their ludicrous 100x leverage, is a recipe for disaster.

The US Navy (USN) has fielded the W76-2 low-yield submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) warhead, John Rood, US Under Secretary of Defense for Policy said on 4 February in a statement.

"In the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review, the department identified the requirement to 'modify a small number of submarine-launched ballistic missile warheads' to address the conclusion that potential adversaries, like Russia, believe that employment of low-yield nuclear weapons will give them an advantage over the United States and its allies and partners," Rood said.

"This supplemental capability strengthens deterrence and provides the United States a prompt, more survivable low-yield strategic weapon; supports our commitment to extended deterrence; and demonstrates to potential adversaries that there is no advantage to limited nuclear employment because the United States can credibly and decisively respond to any threat scenario," he said.

Wow, I was just about to argue that this is not about the Russians - but the DoD claims that it is. So the battle scenario is that Russia uses a small nuke on a US carrier group. What's the US response? You can't immediately escalate to full MAD, a proportionate response is needed, hence the small nuke.

It definitely does lower the threshold for use of nuclear weapons though. Personally I feel a better solution would have been renewed SALT talks and an agreement from nuclear states to not go down this path. More and a greater variety of nuclear weapons is bad.

No, because half the vulnerabilities are in device drivers, which are unfortunately device specific binary blobs. Lineage OS has no choice but ship them as is, so they'll not be updated.
It would definitely use more energy, and container shipping is all about efficiency. It's a non-starter.
Use of nukes is punished with annihilation. That's the unwritten rule. Since it's unwritten, a lot of the fine print is unwritten too, like how soon and by what mechanism. Maybe, if you nuke your 150m radius it sets in motion a chain of events that five years later culminates in nuclear war. You have no way to know whether you would be opening the door to that. Since the loss is effectively infinite and the probability is finite, the expected value of this action is infinite and negative.

People want certainty when it comes to nuclear weapons. The only way to get that is not to use them.

Perhaps there could be a strong evolutionary pressure to adapt to meat eating AND it could cause a slight increase in certain illnesses if consumed regularly by certain populations? If we look at blue zones where people live the longest, one commonality is 95% of their diets are vegetables, grains, and legumes, with limited meat consumption. At the end of the day it comes down to goals and priorities. If performance is a priority, I think meat consumption can be a good thing. If longevity is a priority, limiting meat consumption is probably a good thing. We have to take a nuanced approach. Nutrition science is difficult, and different populations naturally respond in different ways to a variety of diets. Some will naturally thrive on meat heavy diets while others will not.

Broker fees are particularly awful to new arrivals, who probably are probably going to have short tenure at their first couple apartments. A fee is more forgivable if you can amortize it over several years.

There are some risks of how it may distort the market if fees are internalized into market rents, but I think it's worth the risk for eliminating the huge barrier to tenancy created by the lump sum broker payment to get a place, on top of first month rent and security.

I think you're limiting yourself too strictly to the equations and missing their application. Suppose, not a causal model, but a causal question. My question is if I put a mass weighing X on a spring with spring constant k, what will the displacement be (after oscillations stop, under standard gravity g, blah blah)? That's a causal question, answered by hooke's law. You can construct analogous questions for all sorts of scenarios. I'd say a model can be considered causal if it can answer all (relevant) causal questions about what it describes.

Take something more dynamic, like a ball being thrown on a level surface (uniform gravity, ideal vacuum, etc). If I throw it with some force, it'll follow a perfect symmetric parabola and land with that exact same force. The force it lands with (y) is exactly identical to the force I threw it with (x). It's basically time symmetry, but simpler. The equation here is the symmetric y = x, so it won't help you define causation. But clearly the usual version of causation says that my cause is x and the effect is y.

Maybe where we differ is that you say it's "the causal model is assumed, then observations are made and a law is formed which can be used to make predictions," while I'd describe it as "interventions are made, then observations are made and a law is formed which can be used to make predictions (and the law itself doesn't depend on the intervention taken)." That's what makes the y = x scenario not symmetric. X is my intervention.
So what? Informed consent is also "a real challenge" for some medical studies, does that mean we should let doctors carry out unethical studies?

I'm actually pretty sympathetic to Wacom in this instance, more sympathetic than the blogpost author at least. But unethical actions are unethical regardless of whether acting ethically is "a real challenge" for some companies.

I get what you're saying, but with both these scenarios -- (1) "going out when you don't feel like it because a friend needs your support" or (2) "telling a friend you don't feel like going out because you're feeling down, but they realize they have the energy between the both of you to buoy your low spirit" -- these are both important social negotiations that make us better at human'ing. An app that attempts to take them away is one that makes us less good at being the best sort of human to one another, imho (and more likely to fall behind on the practices that keep social anxiety at bay).

All just my opinion of course, and spoken from a place of care :)

Random note: the word "kava" is Tongan, not Fijian. In Fiji, it's called yaqona, pronounced "yanggona".

I also don't think kava is ever going to take off worldwide until they figure out a way to deal with the taste and appearance. It's not actively terrible, but it really does look and taste like a muddy puddle.
I suspect the effects may differ a little from person to person. A friend of mine, who is a recovering alcoholic, said it was like being drunk for him, only not drunk.

> developed on a system that isn't designed to intuitively express the degree of logic required

The poor souls are such because they usually fundamentally do not have the knowledge required across the broad spectrum of responsibilities an ERP does and how that all ties into managing a business.

> I predict that millennials, who increasingly refuse to interact with anything below "app quality,"

This makes no sense. What do millennials have to do with anything? I fail to see how a generation label makes any difference to how ERPs are involved in business management and how accounting and finance in general work. How supply chains are managed isn't going to change because of a bunch of woke millennials.

> everyone will build their own faulty but usable ERP systems.

Always said by people that do not understand what an ERP does and the complexities involved in managing a business. I used to think this way myself, until I actually had to deal with these issues in a senior management position with investors breathing down my neck. My naivety was amusing in hindsight.

On 26 September 1983, the computers in the Serpukhov-15 bunker outside Moscow, which housed the command centre of the Soviet early warning satellite system, twice reported that U.S. intercontinental ballistic missiles were heading toward the Soviet Union. Stanislav Petrov, who was duty officer that night, suspected that the system was malfunctioning and managed to convince his superiors of the same thing. He argued that if the U.S. was going to attack pre-emptively it would do so with more than just five missiles, and that it was best to wait for ground radar confirmation before launching a counter-attack.

> Some claims, such as that the Iowa caucus app was funded by Buttigieg, mischaracterize what we know.

no physical law implies causation. most laws describe relationships between measurable quantities. there is no causation implied e.g. in e=mc2 or e=hv or maxwell's equations etc.

the causality is imposed post-hoc depending on your application, but it's not explained by the law itself. alternatively, causality is a prerequisite in order to have physical laws at all.
I wish that shareholders would frequently vote on what data is included in the financial reports. Either that or have the SEC be much much more pressing on the issue.

Perhaps even a minority of shareholders (say 30%) should be allowed to enforce data publication rules.

Why should the management decide on which data is disclosed and which is not? It should rather be entirely decided by the management's supervisors, this is the shareholders or the regulators. Makes no sense to me otherwise.
