> How many more votes would the party in second place at the last election have needed in order to have won instead?

It's a multiple party proportional representation system so who "wins" doesn't really matter that much.

> Is there a mechanism by which the election could be run again (before the winners of the election have a chance to prevent this)?

I'm not an electoral law expert, but complaints about election process go to National Electoral Committee, which can have its decision contested in Supreme Court.

> Or it's an argument that a voting system should have both hand-counting and digital counting, because rigging both counts is at least twice as difficult as rigging one.

The e-voting over here is actual e-voting - the vote is purely digital and done remotely. Not in any way related to the digital vote counting machines used in the US.
To read the clipboard, website needs explicit permission to do so, no way to go unnoticed.
You can just turn the toggle on in Firefox on Android and it stays on in that tab until you turn it off (or close the tab)
> just because I _can_ (and did) leave Facebook doesn't mean that Facebook will somehow be responsive to the needs of its users.

I think this statement assumes that the majority of end users are similar to you. Perhaps you're (unfortunately) in the minority.
I live pretty close to street level, actually - sometimes people on the corner by the Kress are playing music too loud, but this is a city: you're going to hear some noise.

I walk two dogs here a few times daily and while the litter has been worse post-COVID, it wasn't always this bad due to the city cleaners.

In general I agree with your shelters idea, Seattle does not do nearly enough to help these people.

Without knowing what part of Seattle you're specifically referring to I can't really explain more. If you're referring to Pioneer Square... well, I won't fight you on that one - that area needs help.
On reddit there's a bot on some reddits that replaces the n-word with 'basketball americans'. It has this effect.
React Core team's discussion on rewriting React internals in Rust
Surprising things about working at Skype, Skyscanner and Uber
If you don't mind seeing the desktop interface, prepend "old" to the domain on any reddit page (i.e. change the domain to old.reddit.com) to bring up the legacy interface. Loads quick and works fine on mobile if you don't mind zooming.

That said, it's ridiculous that this is necessary.
Why would you assume that? It makes no sense.

Definitely not considering history of that shooting interpretation.
Why do people go on /r/asktrumpsupporters and ask the same questions for the past 5 years? It's cathartic. You get an adrenaline rush from arguing, and satisfaction if you feel you've proved yourself right. It is the same primal emotions from our childhood schoolyard argument days creeping back into adult life.

Very interesting psychologically how facebook is tuned to tap into these primal and tribalistic tendencies, but also very terrifying how wired we are for this.

> I find it pretty well stuffed with appropriate information. You're looking at an ontology, not a wikipedia article, it's supposed to be dry (subject, relation, object).

We're talking about a research project with a large amount of funding to go from the former to the latter. But pretty much none of the stuff on Earth's Wikipedia page is represented here.

> applies to part: equator

An equator (the general concept to which the ontology links to) has no given orientation. Earth's Equator is a human construct distinct from an oblate spheroid's equator, as are the specific locations of the poles. Nowhere is it specified in the ontology that this is measured at a specific Equator, not just any equator.

This is all human context and understanding that we've built on top, and it's part of what I mean when I say that the data is kinda pointless. All of these facts depend on culture to understand.
The freighter version was offered, it was never developed because the small number of orders it received were cancelled when it was realized it would not deliver economies.

I believe I read that the dead weight issue would not have been as important if freighters didn't stop for refueling because of A380's range; that's why I brought up the stopping.
Handoff really is awesome though. You start browsing a website on your phone, unlock your Mac and boom you can switch to the big screen. Copy a phone number from a website on your Mac, pull out your phone and paste it into the phone app. Once you’re used to it, it seems so obvious

A more interesting question is what if advertisers did not come back? Does Facebook have a "Plan B" for how they would sustain themselves?

What would happen if advertisers pulled out and Facebook fell on hard times? Would someone else acquire every detail of your life that you shared with Facebook? What happens if Facebook fails? Do they send your data back to you with a note saying "Thanks for the loan"?
I always feared sites would do things like this so I clear the clipboard/fill it with garbage after usage
You think everyone building tools like k8s, terraform, etc. are fools? That's a pretty myopic worldview.
Pretty much all of those rely on federal funding, and homelessness in SF is well documented as being impacted by other states policies.
I believe that's called "Julia".
In addition to this, voting means that you're participating in the same polity as people that might have completely different interests from you. Sometimes the majority is wrong (as has often been the case in history). In a democracy, there is no recourse for the minority. With the private sector, the minority in theory has the option to break away.

Don't get me wrong, democracy is great, but it is a means to an end, not an end in itself.
I absolutely agree with this and tend to fall much more on the pessimist side regarding any solution to suffering.

My point is that the author claiming "I don’t think this last idea even crosses most of our minds" seems off given that "change yourself not the world" is arguably the dominant theme regarding suffering for most philosophies throughout human history, from religions to pop-psychology self-help books (even the idea of "self-help" implies working on yourself to solve your problems).

Even deeper, the clear divide between the "external" and "internal" is pretty suspect in nearly all Western philosophical traditions in at least the last 200 years. This is something I would expect a PhD in Philosophy at Oxford to at least be passingly familiar with.
>>The Covid-19 pandemic threatens to leave their manufacturers scrounging to find buyers for the last jumbos built.

This is imply not true. The last 747s built are freighters. Freight demand is at an all time high due to COVID and constraints on supply chians. Even passenger vehicles are being called into freight service (which is far less efficient yet still economical).
> The person who wrote "Dehumanization is alive and well, even among progressives" was responding to someone who wrote "But that policy is not even talking about racism, however defined; it's talking about hate. Hate is hate, no matter who it's directed to. Prejudice is prejudice." (That is literally the entirety of their comment.) So at least the way I read this thread, "dehumanization" was introduced as a rhetorical device to equate "prejudice is prejudice" with "dehumanize your opponents."

With respect, that's not at all what's happening. I started this sub-thread with this comment [1] criticizing the wording of the policy which emphatically does not focus on just "hate is hate", and "prejudice is prejudice", but is worded specifically towards protecting "marginalized groups".

And it's quite clear on reddit that it's not applied even-handedly to both minority and majority groups. If you think otherwise, go try defending Trump supporters as an experiment and see what happens.

So my comment here [2] to which you objected was not "restating what the other person said as something worse", but was raising the additional point that, despite the policy, hating on the majority is accepted as perfectly fine on reddit, and plenty of other places (Twitter, Facebook, etc.).

Why not ban the players? The game platform will do fine without them. Accommodating them --- tracking the number of "strikes" they've received, etc --- costs resources. There's a finite amount of resources; why spend any of them on these particular players?
I read something recently that gave the impression browsers didn't allow this and they could only modify the clipboard?

I'm not saying this is true, rather asking if I got the wrong impression.
Nobody was interested in what mass murderers have to say. It just inspires more mass murderers. Did anyone read the manifesto of the New Zealand mosque killer? It was censored for a reason.
That's 1.9 trillion in MBS on the balance sheet now. It seems like you have counted those eggs before they have hatched! If we could really make money on these we would get them off the balance sheet, but that is proving to be impossible to do.

I guess you could argue that we're making money, but that's only because we get to print money to buy these for free and de-value everyone else's dollars.
A great list. I'd also add Common Sense by Thomas Paine, which was a huge influence in the zeitgeist of the time.
that's fair, although i will say that people tend to complicate these things to a ridiculous degree, coming up with a laundry list of reasons they can or cannot make strides towards these goals.
This is so obviously, blindingly true that I am amazed it’s even possible for apps to do this.
I think it's dangerous when platforms function like a public utility and is yet allowed to do whatever it wants

This is a race car game.
I agree, but battery tech has a long way to go in weight and capacity to become the every vehicle, unless hot swapping stations become as widespread as bird scooters. When I was looking for a commuter, I was initially leaning e bike, but was disappointed at most ranges being <30 miles. I ended up just buying a road bike and getting in better shape so I don't sweat when I bike in to work.
Oh for the luxury of an internal locus of self evaluation! Repositioning my perspective on who I was - changing the goal posts of happiness as it were was all so easy once upon a time and then I got married! I find this kind of transcendental juggling a good bit harder now that it’s not just my own happiness that needs to be accommodated ... anyone got any tips?
Ironic that this post is coming out of the Internet-Rationalist movement, which IME the participants are infamous for putting out huge amounts of written content of questionable merit.

I'm not exactly sure what the relevance of the producer/consumer ratio is, especially for digital content. There are popular people with hundreds of millions of fans. There are active bloggers with 0-10 monthly readers.
In general, I had a good experiences. There are a few annoying things, however: my Estonian bank (VUB) discriminates against non-Estonian customers (even if they are EU citizens/residents) by applying a foreigners fee. Also, the local business register seems to be above data protection laws and sells your information. I receive lots of spam just by being in the register. Also, if you think that because your company is private your financial statements will also be private, that won't be the case. They will still sell the information to anyone for a few euros.
Very not cool. I am a medium LinkedIn user, but now it is going to be limited strictly to a PC browser, where I have some control. I just uninstalled it from my cell. I got caught in the siren song of convenience.

Now how many other apps do this.
Yeah, I'm in a similar situation at the moment.

It's incredibly frustrating because during code reviews I will request changes so it's not such a broken hack job, and the response will basically be "No, it's not worth changing". At which point I'm the one "holding up development". We wasted hundreds of development hours during the last project because of this persons "inventive" code, and nobody seems to understand what's going on.

Shame the job market is a bit crap right now.
Is it possible to double check some basic interaction of the searching engine so this kind of mistakes can be avoided. Not just favicon?
As an Architect, I would so appreciate it.
I taught myself framing earlier this year for some antique maps that I own, and it is surprisingly hard. Cutting the passe-partout, the glass, picking the right kind of frame, getting the proportions right. Even something simple as getting 45 degree corners is really really difficult as the required precision is really high. In the end I did some decent ones that I'm happy with, but I'm still a one-trick pony with the (basic) materials that I used. Love working with my hands though, and it saves a bit of money compared to getting it done professionally.
When most people are "insane", the term "insane" has little meaning.

Strictly in terms of appearances, I think Antonovs look really nice. Granted, it was rare to see one in a western airport even in the best of times.
Right. Firefox and Safari (iOS and desktop) haven't implemented the Clipboard.read functionality yet either, only Chrome has and it's only available on use action such as a click or keydown (and not available on touch or scroll events).

But they can copy to your clipboard for you, a lot of services use "Click to copy" features. But reading is much harder.

iOS before 14.0 appears to have allowed apps to read clipboard contents without making that clear to users. Now that you get a notification whenever an app reads the clipboard, it has become fairly clear a lot of apps are reading clipboards constantly. For what… we all wonder.
I think you're looking back at this from the modern perspective of cheap hardware and open source software. We didn't have Sun workstations as desktops - we were using FreeBSD on cheap Dells. Our production servers cost something like $200k each. And the http server cost money - we didn't have licenses to run copies locally. These days you can just run things in Docker and have a reproducible environment but it wasn't that easy back then.

The fact that it isn't a symbol of southern heritage for everyone doesn't mean it's not a southern symbol for many.

Are you suggesting that African-Americans identify with the Confederate battle flag...?

No, and nothing in my comments suggested that. It makes sense that they wouldn't since their relatives probably didn't after the war. For many people, their relatives did identify with the flag. It probably started as something racist by the survivors of the war, but morphed into what it is today, something that isn't considered racist by most around where I live. Do you really think NASCAR, a big business, would have previously allowed it to be flown if it was universally considered a hate symbol?
I have no dog in this fight, but I was at LinkedIn at the time, on teams that worked closely to this. I can assure you that these changes were not made to force log in. It was a recommendation from the security team.

I know it's Hacker News and it's easy to criticize LinkedIn for shady growth practices and get praise for it. They often deserve it, but assigning malicious/growth intent for every change they make is misguided.

This case seems to involve a white supremacist jerk experiencing road rage, then tricking a Latino guy into making the hand gesture, taking a photo, and then publicly lobbying his employer to fire him. Both the white supremacists and the intolerant and incurious (exclusively white) investigators/managers at the man’s company end up looking horrible.

But this doesn’t seem too relevant to the confederate flags in video games case.

Not everyone knows that white supremacist internet trolls have appropriated the OK hand gesture, but everyone living in the US understands that the confederate battle flag and other confederate symbols represent slavery, white supremacism, and treason.
Too bad you can't get them in the U.S.. Even the cheapest chinese e bike on amazon is like $500 with very cautionary reviews, and the more sane models start north of $700, for the no name dime a dozen chinese clones. None of the excellent xiaomi bikes either.

It's way more efficient to just keep a graphic from being uploaded, than it is to set up a super-cool AI ML system that constantly monitors every car for unapproved imagery.

If we hypothesize that it would take X level of effort for MS to centrally detect and alter the graphics of every car, we can conclude it would be at most X/accounts effort (way easier) for each human player to detect and remove the same graphic from each of their own cars.
Though not originally. Upstairs used to be the first class lounge. Over time this generally under-utilized space got changed into business class seating.

(The lounge dates to before business class existed. That said, modern international business class is more comfortable in most ways than first class was at the time.)
Something to do with volume limits versus weight not being in it's favour IIRC.

That is, you'd fill up it's max weight limit way before filling the empty volume inside the plane with most normal cargo.
iOS very early-on took on a model of not trusting the software you install on it, and for good reason. Android and the web followed soon afterward. This is the expectation today. Doubly so given Apple's chest-beating about privacy. This clipboard scandal is unacceptable.
The Return of the Native Son
Momentum would keep them going for a long time but they’d eventually stagnate if they lost the majority of their best workers – look at other once dominant tech companies who can longer get the best talent, even with their deep pockets. This doesn’t mean they’d collapse completely of course.

I realise this is just a hypothetical though – highly unlikely since it would require the top employees leaving en masse.
The British Caribbean held (far) more slaves than British North America did, and did not abolish slavery until 1833. One of the principal reasons that these Caribbean colonies did not follow the North American colonies in revolt was that they were far more terrified of slave revolts, as slaves were a much larger fraction of their population than the case in any North American colony.

Personally, I think the existence of the nonrebellious slave-driven plantation economies in the Caribbean undercuts the argument that protecting slavery was a major motivation for those colonies that did revolt.
When I worked in aerospace I was told by a Boeing old-timer that he was sure Boeing only made the 747-700X proposal last as long as it did in order to force Airbus into making the A380 mistake, and that none of the Boeing insiders thought a plane that big would ever make real sense to spend money developing. Naturally I have no way to verify this, but it's a fun corporate strategy conspiracy theory.
People can speak freely without restrictions using their own resources.

What you are asking for is to force other people to set up platforms for people to speak, which is a very different thing.

Freedom of speech has always applied to the former, but never the latter.
The 747 was updated recently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_747-8

The major issue with the jumbo planes' (passenger) variants is that twin-engines now have significantly increased range, and have half the fuel consumption to boot. It's a lot easier to sell premium direct tickets rather than convince people to transfer onto a large cattle-class jumbo jet. Even pre-point to point, actually filling up a jumbo jet could be quite difficult, so now the death knell has been a long time coming, unless you're a Middle Eastern carrier operating the super-long-haul hub model.
It was not used as a racist symbol in the show. That's what this whole discussion is about. For example:

"After the first season, it distressed producer Gy Waldron that the cast was entirely white. So in subsequent seasons, visiting federal agents that investigated Boss Hogg were black, as was the sheriff of the adjoining Chickasaw County."

Freedom of association is important for all people, I believe. If Asian people have been victimized by other groups in American society, they should be allowed to congregate and live with each other, where they will be able to have the power and influence to protect their people and interests. If black people cannot trust the white police force to not kill them, they should be allowed to move to black cities with black police who will less likely kill them. And if whites feel that they cannot live amongst blacks due to their poor relations with eachother, who are we to stop them from leaving? Because forcing two opposing groups to live with each other only breeds more violence and suffering. I wouldn't shame them or call them racist. It's pragamatism at worst. You could bring up statistics all you want to say why x or y is not the case. But that doesn't matter to individuals. People decide these things on their own, in their best interest, for their family's safety.
I don't think I understand this question. Why doesn't Facebook limit the number of impressions? I assume the premise is that fewer ads will be worth more?

Again, the ad market is insanely efficient and competitive. Restricted supply doesn't correlate with increased prices. If 1000 impressions is worth $20 to me, and it costs $30 on Facebook, I can take my money elsewhere. I don't even need to push a button, I have software that could automatically change my budget minute to minute.
That's pretty funny. It might as well say “sucker”.
