You are the first person to engage me with intellectual honesty, so thank you.

I don’t care who commits the fraud. I want my vote to count as it should. So that’s a why I believe we should be vigilant about mail in voter fraud.

Your Native American example is an example of a corner case that should be addressed properly. Indeed it is unfair if there were no other ways for Native Americans to vote (surely they could vote in person? If not, I’d classify that as a violation of rights). But this doesn’t extend generally, not does it nullify general mail vote fraud concerns.

And I would add more evidence under the claim ‘majority of fraud committed by Republicans’ in order to be more convincing.
Can confirm.

Heck, I’ve been given an interview day for a c-level position at a billion dollar company by the entire executive team and board only to never hear back from them again.
I find it unlikely that even large companies put their superstar famous hires through the same hiring process.
It's partially the fault of the sources, but I also feel like there are unrealistic expectations. Most people I've seen discuss it online expect a lot more details with a lot more certainty than could possibly be available.
The 0.4% fatality estimate is from the CDC, presumably full of credentialed experts. My spreadsheet is a collection of studies from experts who have presumably dedicated their careers to virology and pandemics. The 0.2% number is also from the CDC. I’m not out there doing science, I’m just looking at the data.

I’m not sure what the basis is if your criticism. If a medical doctor wants to submit a PR I would review it based on merits.
The only rational option I see is Americans must be some of the healthiest people. Kidding aside this is a hard problem to solve. Some states are over reporting some are under reporting, there just isn’t much consistency. And of course there is tons of political bias so who actually knows.
OpenSilver is built with C# compiled to run on the web using https://bridge.net

Think web based enterprise applications, written in C#+XAML, without requiring a line of html or javascript.
I find in BugCrowd that most of these reports that are spammy or useless in nature are from researchers in developing countries and have a limited grasp of the English language.

They simply don't take no for an answer.
The 300+ page document you cited to proves my point - almost none of those cases are related to states with mail-in voting. Absentee ballots =/= mail-in voting. ALL states have absentee ballots, regardless of whether mail-in voting is a statewide practice. And nobody is suggesting getting rid of absentee ballots, especially not republicans or Trump, because it is how many enlisted persons vote. Of all the states that have statewide mail in voting, none have voter-fraud issues that are unlike states without mail-in voting. All of this is very well demonstrated by the extensive PDF you posted.

And I certainly did not claim that mail-in voting favors one particular party, simply that it enables more people to vote and is at least as secure as any other system of voting that we have in the US. That said, I think it is worth asking - why is one party, with truly zero supporting facts, so vehemently opposed to voting by mail? And why is it the same party that so unabashedly gerrymanders voting districts: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/how-the-...

I know political rants are semi-frowned upon these days on HN, but it is deeply important that we as a society figure this stuff out.
by that logic, (desktop) safari, edge, and IE are not currently major browsers. Assuming that your 2% figure is correct. 2% of everyone that uses the internet is still a lot of people. And considerable amount of effort and money are spent on developing the linux desktop.
When a company seeks to acquire another company, the executives of the target company are sometimes promised and given a disproportionate share of management roles in the reorganized entity as enticement to grease the acquisition. The alternative is more expensive payouts. And of course, no matter which approach is taken, cash will be tight post merger so there'll naturally be an emphasis on cost cutting and "synergizing", which McDonnell Douglas executives were well practiced in, likely drawing favor from the board, despite that it was still 2/3rds Boeing post merger.

Also, despite the narrative, it may very well have already been the case that Boeing's culture was going down the gutter, its acquisition of McDonnell Douglas a reflection of that rather than the root cause.

EDIT: Here's a 2002 article that suggests it was all of these phenomena--disproportionate leadership roles, a claim to cost control expertise, a skittish board, and evolving business strategies. https://www.seattlepi.com/business/article/Hard-nosed-Stonec... Some former McDonnell Douglas executives, like Boeing President and COO Harry Stonecipher, were well placed to take control when the inevitable cash crunch happened. Stonecipher replaced the Boeing CFO with a GM executive. See also this contemporaneous 1998 article describing the same event: https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/?date=19980715&slug... That article says it was Stonecipher and the board chairman, Phil Condit, who forced the CFO out for his overly conservative accounting. Condit, AFAIU, was also CEO at the time and had been CEO of Boeing prior to the McDonnell Douglas merger. In fact, Condit led multiple acquisitions before MD, which suggests to me he and Boeing were already following the "acquire rather than innovate" playbook.
I'm not sure I get what you're saying?

I think you're saying that having html returned from the backend "seems questionable" and is a "type of bad programming".

But that can't be right because that's mostly how the web works? Make a request to a server, server returns html.

Is your issue that it's partial "random" content? How does that make it worse? It's a tried and true solution. The hamburger menu in amazon.com does just that.
You're entitled to your opinion.

My opinion is that if you read the page, which is only like 10 paragraphs anyway, you can clearly see how it works and decide for yourself if it's useful for you.
Is that Thiel getting his fangs into Zuckerberg again or is Facebook simply too afraid of the administration to do anything
Good to know, it'll be interesting if it ever does get tested.

Even then there's always the analogue/human loophole I suppose, similar to captcha mechanical turks.
Which example can you understand? How about laundry soap. That’s a necessity. Store brands go up by 50% because people can afford it. If anything a UBI shifts money from the taxpayer to corporations.
I agree up to a point, but disagree there is no value in analysis at all.

Lots of authors have intentionally inserted contextual references to their poems which are worthy to point out. Since lots of old poetry was written in time when everybody was supposed to be familiar with a certain classical body of work the poems might need some explaining sometimes to fully be read as the autor intended.

In our pop-culture filled context you could have a poem about a car called Falcon and a cat called Chewie and you would go a-ha, I wonder what deeper references are there.

But actually treating poem as an algebra problem really is taking it too far.

Probably because it's hard to trust public health experts in a crisis whose very existence has already demonstrated a failure in their authority.

If I wanted to reduce the risk of acquiring or transmitting an airborne infection back in February, I would wear a mask and avoid enclosed spaces without waiting for CDC's permission. Indeed, I would ignore their advice to the contrary, which stood until April (!)

It would be really nice if we could defer to competent technocratic experts, but they earn their trust by having credible track records, not by collecting credentials.
I looked at the linked study. It's not very complicated. In fact one could argue their method was too simple.

They estimated the number of illnesses by dividing the number of hospitalizations by a series of probabilities (the probabilities constitute a funnel from someone getting an infection to someone being hospitalized - for example the probability you actually seek hospital attention, the probability your test accurately detects influenza, etc). The probabilities were uniformly sampled from a range of plausible values (derived from their survey data). They did this process 10k times to arrive at an distribution over the number of illnesses (this is a Monte Carlo simulation).
I'd also label it that much of go concurrency control is intrusive, in that you need to write control-flow code into whatever it is you're trying to accomplish, or (typically) give up type safety or understandability. That's unavoidably more error-prone than not writing your own control-flow code, and I spend quite a lot of time discovering and fixing issues around it in libraries, even from some very skilled and careful teams.

Of course there are ways to achieve both in any language, but the massive educational pressure of the official docs and tutorials and examples cannot be ignored, and has profound impacts on what the community ends up building in the language.

It's roughly equivalent to manual memory management, IMO. Terabytes have been spilled claiming that C is safe if you're careful enough or use safe patterns, and CVE after CVE provides evidence that nobody is sufficiently careful. It has its benefits, but it also has its downsides.
Thats correct; thanks for summarizing. I (the author) was mainly aiming for the one-time setup.
From the CDC report making those "estimates"

>The parameters in the scenarios
.. Are not predictions of the expected effects of COVID-19.

They are demonstrating ways of modeling the effects based only on the the available evidence of the viruses biological and epidemiological characteristics. These can later be used in more detailed models.

The observers using them to support reopening the country are misusing them, but this article is also missing the point.
Can I have some of your net income largess?
There is an extension (which is part of the main repo) that supports using front-end templates to consume JSON from a back-end. Looks just as simple as the replace feature. See: https://htmx.org/extensions/client-side-templates/
Windows file system performance in general is abysmally bad, we are talking Linux being 10x-100x faster on mass operations on small files for instance.

Due to this lots of Linux stuff is based around huge masses of tiny files (build processes, VCS, docker, etc) and there was just no chance the windows kernel was ever going to come remotely close performance wise.
You may have to think a bit outside the box to make this cheaper and easier. I have seen it done by just asking people with offices near the two of you to let you rent office space from their offices. Many places may have surplus space. Not sure of your exact location since you did not mention it but even a super small studio apartment or backhouse on a month to month basis would end up cheaper in most places.
There are people who periodically propose this - so you could say your observation has been seconded. In fact there's already an acronym for that (which I've heard once or twice), FAMGA.

The platforms themselves are an established authority. Giving them power over what the media and politicians can say should be recognised as a real transfer of power. Objecting to such a concentration of power in the hands of three unelected American tech companies (Google, Twitter, and Facebook) who have billions of users and whose products cannot be avoided without significant difficulty is not exclusively right wing and has nothing to do with tyranny of the majority.
I think the problem is that tons of people get infected without bothering to get tested. It's not a simple process to get tested and if you are not very sick, you just won't bother.
I agree that the objection doesn't hold up given how many websites are made, but I think they mean that a REST API shouldn't be returning HTML, which is true. Unfortunately using the replace feature would mean rewriting existing APIs.

Or, you could use the client side template feature of htmx which supports rendering JSON into HTML using a templating language: https://htmx.org/extensions/client-side-templates/
I’m getting downvoted because most people here are high earning white guys that think a UBI is the cool thing to do because it will never affect them. I believe there is a lot of fantasy blindness that a UBI will make everything better, that simply doesn’t take into account actual economics.
guy_ro, no. After seeing Zuckerberg on the news tonight, I don't believe you at all.

Y'all "fact-checked" the Lincoln Project and barred them from placing ads on Facebook because they were critical of Trump. Meanwhile, the Zuck says he'll let anything and everything go with absolutely no fact-checking whatsoever.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Fuckerberg.

Your social media platform is quite literally driving the wedge into America, and you don't care. Your bottom line is PROFIT. That's it. You don't care about anything else as long as you avoid liability.

That's your job as VP of Integrity -- keeping Facebook looking "good" while it foments distrust between its users. If you were SERIOUS about integrity, you would have started cracking down on toxic groups and ideologies a long time ago.

You didn't.
There are two use-cases: project pages (from github repo README) and blog-posts (coming from .md files in blog-posts repo). You can choose to not have blog-posts and it will still generate a blog-like site from all your github project READMEs.
I do care, but maybe our current views differ. Can you be specific about what you think the lies are? I believe mail in fraud is a real concern, and here is a list of convictions for mail in voter fraud (and other forms): https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/whitehouse.gov/files/docs/p...

On C# not achieving popularity for desktop apps, I think the problem is rather the lack of new desktop apps rather than C#, all new development tends too be web based even for internal apps. The problem is still deployment. I think client side blazor has a potential for creating internal applications quickly with zero deployment required without havint to touch javascript.
They don't for sure given a certain point. It is known. Have you ever heard of a formal interview process for execs.. No.
I'm sorry that Rubicon was crossed a long time ago. When you told businesses who they must serve. Hilariously, many people want it both ways, they want it illegal for a bakery to not make gay wedding cakes, but also want twitter et all to stop people from saying bad things.

I am not a free speech extremist, and recognise you need to balance the competing demands as these platforms are defacto digital town squares. There are several problems that currently exist. They are:

1) Who decides what is and isn't on the platform
Now that the web has effectively been centralised into a handful of organisations, being locked out of a platform can be seriously harmful. There are no appeals, or arbitration on decisions made. No courts to provide an independent check.

2) Asymmetry of rule application
The biggest issue is rules are not applied fairly. Certain types of people seem free to repeatedly break the rules on platforms without recourse.
You raise rents until you maximize profit, the person who’s out, well then you lower it and take the next person.

It's definitely possible. A few of the researchers I've seen on BugCrowd that we help foster good relationships with, e.g. paying out quickly and with sizeable bounties, easily make 5 figures USD from us in 12 months.

And I'd hope we are only one of their many clients. We might be an outsider though, my company does very well to address the bugs that are brought to us fairly. We understand the need to encourage the top 100 researchers on the platform an incentive to look over our stack. That's where the value is.

We do get a lot of spammy notifications too which sucks but it's part and parcel with the issue mentioned here. We leverage BugCrowd to help filter the chaff from the precious metals. :)
So I wanted to check out a picture to see what you were talking about - incredible to imagine building something that last so long looking so nice, really: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2a/Einblick...

But the woman and man in the lower right of the picture are weirding me out. It seems there are two men almost identical walking one in front of the other, next to two women who also look almost identical walking one in front of the other - but the woman's clothing has changed colors. I'm assuming it is some panorama software weirdness as I see other strange artifacts, but changing the colors to give the impression of different people following each other is... interesting.
We have just breached the zero integrity event horizon.

How about combining reward splitting with having some way to show a count of recent submissions (no details, just count), so people know before submitting that there is a chance someone else already submitted the issue.

Or a mechanism for companies that use email to register the researchers submissions in HackerOne. The details will be sealed and non-public, with researchers having no way to know it exists unless the company provides a link to it as proof of work. HackerOne thus acts as a kind of notary against accusations from researchers that it wasn’t really a duplicate.
If I am to believe the poster, this is a draft of an Executive Order anonymously sent to her. As per:

https://twitter.com/klonick/status/1265850206396076033?s=21

The implications are fairly dramatic if this is legitimate and were to be adopted / executed.

Specifically it would declare that sites like Twitter and Facebook are subject to the Communications Decency Act by virtue of their editorializing the content vs acting in more of a common carrier capacity. This is a really big deal for them (much more significant than losing federal ad dollars).

Tesla – How to Enable Developer Mode and Other Secret Modes
One of the most interesting aspects to me is the native GPU support. I haven't seen too many attempts at integrating GPU constructs as first class citizens in high level languages, especially ones that target optimising data transfer and pipelining etc. I am quite curious if anybody has used it and whether it stacks up or not. The fact that it compiles to cross-vendor OpenCL is especially appealing, if it works.
So it's not worth it. Why be less careful than companies in the hope they will be good citizens, when it's easier to be careful and not have to hope?
Your example is hogswash. Absolutely, the perceived long term value dropped 30% as people feared a million deaths (with lockdown) and dead bodies piling up outside hospitals across the country (with lockdown, and not just New York City). The stock market is rising now that people realize the pandemic, while still bad, isn't going to be as bad as those predictions. Our perception/understanding of the pandemic has rapidly changed.
The constitution is just a piece of paper if no one follows or enforces it.
They already have MSI though?
Maybe Americans are just way less social than everyone thought? So there’s less viral load and less deaths.
I guess I have not seen any factual basis to conclude that mail-in voting is problematic. I get the theoretical argument, and can imagine all sorts of USPS conspiracies to rig the vote, but the fact is we have multiple states that allow mail-in voting, where millions of voters have cast ballots by mail, and both parties have won and lost elections while watching and recounting numerous votes... and there is no indication that this process has been problematic, ever. And certainly no evidence that it is not at least as secure as the voting machines we have, while still facilitating more people voting.
Have you considered the possibility of finding a larger company or startup in the area with extra space, and then renting out space from them for the 1-2 days per week? It might be easier than finding someone else to split an office space with.

Rent does not increase when yo get a raise, of of course not, my landlord doesn’t know that I got a raise. But if my landlord knows that everyone is getting universal basic income, then what do you expect them to do? Leave profits on the table? Your argument does not consider actual economics or societal behavior. It assumes real life will be simple: take from one to redistribute to the rest and all will be well. Yet you’ve shown zero facts or resources to back that up.

UBI is a theoretical fantasy that hasn’t worked every time it’s tried.

I think you need to vote Donald Trump out of office.

We look from afar and are perplexed by his ruinous actions on the United States of America.

These actions feel vaguely like authoritarianism. Originally I thought these actions felt like fascism, but I appreciate that fascism's victims would laugh at this comparison... but I think it's a slippery slope.

Is Twitter's flagging censorship? People can still make their own decisions.

If a piece of text is just wrong, shouldn't the expression of a differing opinion be allowed?

Sorry for your shitty experience. Really reminds me of Robert Kearns who's windshield patent was stolen by big auto companies [0].

Robert patented it but still megacorps tried to screw him over because they thought they could. He did win but only after an exhausting trial that took years.
