The NBC news article I quoted explains exactly what you are asking:

> Close Results In Paterson Vote Plagued By Fraud Claims; Over 3K Ballots Seemingly Set Aside

> A county spokesman said 16,747 vote-by-mail ballots were received, but the county's official results page shows 13,557 votes were counted — with uncounted ballots representing 19 percent of all votes cast

> The spokesman later told the Paterson Press that the additional 2,390 disqualifications were due to the election board comparing signatures on the ballots to those previously on file for voters, and the new ones not matching up. The spokesman also would not explain the breakdown of what ward those ballots were from, or which candidates were voted for in those disqualified ballots.
According to the Paterson Press, four wards had more votes go uncounted than the winner's margin of victory — meaning the uncounted ballots possibly could have tipped the election in favor of one of the candidates.

I think it’s not worth debating political topics on HN because all I get is comments flagged (aka disappears), downvoted and people being intellectually dishonest. Seems like no one clicks on any of the sources before downvoting and attacking.

Probably.

My mum was a New-Age type, so I grew up with homeopathic pills explicitly labelled as “sodium chloride”, “silicon dioxide”, and “titanium dioxide”, while being told my brother and I were “typical” for our astrological star signs. She was big on dowsing with wands and pendulums and thought crystals had personalities and could jump out of your hand. When I was young she expressed sadness that my older brother no longer believed in chakras, and the last time she met my (now ex) girlfriend, she expressed sadness to her that I didn’t believe in Orgone energy. She was also taking Bach flower remedies for memory right up until she got Alzheimer’s.

>A one-time, permanent cure is clearly superior

If you think that big bad pharma companies are keeping people from taking one-time cures for depression, by all means come up with a one-time cure on your own. How do you think one pill can create a permanent structural change in the brain that makes the just-so changes necessary to cure depression forever?

Beacuse if I spend $1000 (even $2000) I want to get that much value for that purchase. Or I can spend significantly less and be that much less married to that purchase.

Between Apple's missteps, Intel's not ideal products/roadmap, and AMD's lack of uptake, the current products do not seem to offer the value for their costs.

The 2015 13" rMBP was by far my most favorite laptop I have ever owned. I have never regretted spending what I did on that machine.

If a Raspi + Nexdoc costs $300, I'm not going to be very broken up over replacing it in a year or two. I cannot say the same for a $1000-2000 laptop.
Let's take a look at the tweets in question:

> There is NO WAY (ZERO!) that Mail-In Ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent. Mail boxes will be robbed, ballots will be forged & even illegally printed out & fraudulently signed. The Governor of California is sending Ballots to millions of people, anyone living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there, will get one. That will be followed up with professionals telling all of these people, many of whom have never even thought of voting before, how, and for whom, to vote. This will be a Rigged Election. No way!

This composed two tweets. It's from an authority figure (granted, one known to be extremely untrustworthy). There are many statements of "fact", or what any reasonable reader would take as assertions of fact.

Sentence one:

> There is NO WAY (ZERO!) that Mail-In Ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent.

This is clearly a statement of fact. It's asserting (and context is important here, because Trump has repeatedly said mail in voting is rife with fraud) that mail-in voting is rife with fraud. Even a charitable interpretation would have to see this as intended to degrade trust in our voting system (to what end?) and discourage voting. If I say "The sun will rise tomorrow", it's a statement of fact, even though it's about the future.

> Mail boxes will be robbed, ballots will be forged & even illegally printed out & fraudulently signed.

Again, this is a statement of fact. There is no qualifying clause to make this opinion, such as "I believe", or "I think".

> The Governor of California is sending Ballots to millions of people, anyone living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there, will get one.

Another statement of fact, this one clearly about the present.

> That will be followed up with professionals telling all of these people, many of whom have never even thought of voting before, how, and for whom, to vote.

Statement of fact.

> This will be a Rigged Election.

Again, a statement of fact.

That's five lies in 6 sentences.

I'm a big fan of Nim, but I really wish it supported cyclic type declarations in separate files and out-of-order functions without forward declarations. As it is, I'm constantly structuring things around those limitations. Big projects often end up squeezed into a single huge file (or a few huge files).
> My opinion is that this should work on a per-content basis, where the platform only becomes legally responsible for a unit of content once it associates itself with it by promoting, modifying, etc. this content.

Such ideas are certainly worth discussing, but I don't see how it would work. If the platform is suppressing some items then it is in effect promoting all the items it doesn't suppress, so would be responsible for them. The only way to avoid responsibility would be to present everything to the user, including the most blatant spam, in no particular order. Or you could allow certain kinds of "curation", perhaps, but if the curation is anything other than filtering by application of a published algorithm, then probably the platform would have to take responsibility for anything that doesn't get filtered out. But filtering with a published algorithm wouldn't stop professional spammers.

Here's a random idea: delegate the filtering to lots of separate smaller companies which would be a less juicy target for lawyers and it wouldn't matter if they went bankrupt every now and then.
(1) Phones have your data, settings, apps, etc. on them. Syncing things sucks.

(2) The ARM in your phone is probably faster than a $250 laptop CPU. It can be plenty fine for most tasks.

(3) Many of us aren't CPU-bound in the first place. The only thing holding our phones back are software, keyboard, and display.

Done well, it'd be awesome. I definitely want something like the NexDock. However, I'll probably wait for V2 or V3. I think V1 will be good for people who would use it like a Chromebook.

My V5 NexDock would look like an actual dock, and plug my phone into:

* a pair of 4k monitors

* a keyboard, a mouse

* a pair of external HDDs (keeping my data backed up in RAID, and holding larger files)

And have good software / application support.
I agree with your statement on principle that we should make these drugs widely available when we find efficacy.

I disagree that we shouldn't try to separate psychedelic effects from therapeutic action. There is a body of research on ketamine metabolites. Some of these metabolites may have less psychedelic effects and more anti-depressant action.

I need to take ketamine almost every day. This means there are several hours when my ability to read, think, and remember things is impaired. I hope we are able to discover better drugs.
One of the great tools to use here is `functools.partial`

After that, it's a question of taste. Agreed, callable objects can be useful but if you don't modify your "self" during function calls, partial funciton aplication might be clearer.
From the description (“make any website editable inline”), I expected this to be a browser extension or similar that would allow you to change the content on any website. I find instead that it’s a CMS sort of thing, and is just a way of editing content on sites that you control and set it up on.

But in case anyone wants the other:

document.designMode = 'on'

It’s pretty cool. Basically it makes the whole page a contenteditable. Many years ago browsers had more involved UI wrapped around design mode (which was also exposed in the menu), with a formatting toolbars and such.

(a), (c), and (d) seems to be about exposing the algorithm's state and a function that performs a single step of the algorithm, rather than about having a class.

(b) seems like quite a bit of trouble, since the clone function must either copy the underlying graph by default or provide a mechanism for swapping out the underlying graph that fixes up the internal map of (node->distance) and the internal priority queue to refer to things in the new graph.

Defects are not the fault of programmers
It occurs to me that the although they were aimed at different uses cases the language that's actually closest to Nim today is Julia. Python-like syntax, compiled to native code, significant meta-programming capabilities, some native support for concurrency. The biggest difference seems to be the approach to types, since Julia is a dynamically typed language (with optional type annotations) and Nim is statically typed, but Julia's type systems is powerful enough that in practice the difference may not be so big.

Anyone out there who has used both and has more observations?
Thanks, that was the one. This looks like a more fundamental axiomatic than lisp meta-circular evaluator. I'm surprised it didn't give birth to more experimentation (maybe because i remember it had some very weird properties and things that looked a lot like inconsistencies..)

Elements of Style is not authoritative. Widely cited, widely praised, widely criticized.

Find an author you enjoy, subject their work to an analysis strictly driven by Elements of Style, and you'll find they fail to measure up. Even if the book in question is Charlotte's Web, by the way.

I'm not saying the book has no value, but it's far from authoritative.

The A in ADT can stand for both abstract and algebraic, so it's an unhelpful abbreviation in contexts where both algebraic and abstract datatypes are relevant.

Functional programming languages tend to have good support for algebraic types (which I think you mean) but they can often do data-hiding too! In Haskell, for example, you do this by not exporting the data constructors for your type, so they can only be used within the module that defines the type.

This is not helpful. People have the right to ask questions without being asked to devote a lifetime to develop some arbitrary authority (which would then in any case bias them to look for positive results).

Hold on, do I understand correctly your comment about the 20% false positive rate? So even if exactly ZERO Americans were experiencing depression, a random sampling would indicate 20% of Americans are showing signs of depression? And if it's 20% for both tests, that would would correspond to a 36% false positive rate for at least one condition [0]. So the headline that a third of Americans are showing signs of anxiety or depression is consistent with what you'd expect to observe if there was zero (or very small) true prevalence? How does that work out?

[0] assuming test results for anxiety and depression are uncorrelated, which seems unlikely. But even if they were 100% correlated, the joint FPR would still be 20%.

It still looks really bad. If you're going to copy and kill off [1] an OSS project, when you're a major company who owns the platform, with a long history of this sort of thing, after baiting the developer for information, then copying the name on top of it is just cruel and in poor taste.

The most worrying thing I found about this article is the seriousness of the review - as if the pseudoscience is real and the review is checking if the fake device works against the fake science.

This is very worrying it made it into the BBC.
This is trivial to do right now: Build a software program that recognizes the problem it is being set(limited list of problems it can handle at first, ie. extract text from an image, tell me if an image is a cat or a dog, play a chess game, play a go game) and once it has identified the problem get it to call into a specialized program for that problem(chess playing, OCR whatever).

As you want to support more use cases, you just need to plug in a new subprogram and modify the top level problem recognizer.

A chat bot sitting on top of a bunch of specialized systems, basically.

This is clearly still not general intelligence and probably not super useful, but hey.

The true benchmark for intelligence is a piece of software that is presented with some pattern and told to turn it into some other pattern and then figures out how to do it. This probably requires general and deep language comprehension(ie. get me a list of emails for environmental managers at US public water utilities. system needs to have some idea about google, some idea about the EPA and their web resources as a starting point for getting that dataset, some ability to google, read and understand web page data etc).

Obviously you can cheat by just having a giant database of information, but at some point you have to be able to answer questions that are not in the database.
