Please try to think here in terms of probabilities, not absolutes and about the threat model.

1. Closed source and loaded on an USB stick is the simplest case. But in the end, how will you still know what is the actual code that the eventual tallying system is running?

2. Verification of votes is not about encryption. If you allow it to be unlimited, then you can actually sell your vote. In Estonia, you can verify your vote 3 times for 30 minutes after your vote was cast: https://www.oiguskantsler.ee/sites/default/files/field_docum... (point 14 on page 5)

3. Mostly agreed with you about the rate of vulnerabilities. But the issue here is that voting is such an important of how democractic society works that there should be no obvious vulnerabilities or any exploitations of vulnerabilities can be easily discovered. E-voting has neither of these because again, how can we know what code is actually being executed?

4., 5., 6., 7. Yes, one vote can get lost. Hell, thousands can get lost. But on average, I can still count on the process eventually working out due to the observability. Somebody will find ballots thrown in trash, pre-filled ballots, 117% of eligible people voting. Sure, in those cases the country is unsalvageable, but you will at least know that it is happening.

8. OK, but that is neither here nor there.

9., 10. If you open up Google Maps and look one country eastward, you will understand. As a reference, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_cyberattacks_on_Estonia Not sure on what their planning divisions are cooking up, but I do not doubt that they will use any angle they can. What is the going price for a Windows 10 0-day anyway, on the order of a few hundred k to 1M, I assume? Peanuts.
I think the goal here is to lower the costs by increasing robotics- assisted tooling. So in theory, with time labour costs could go down or become feasible.

Readability has multiple dimensions, of which "difficulty" is only one. The parent post is not talking about golang being confusing, but rather being verbose and low density, which makes it easier for bugs to hide when reviewing.

The fallacy of the A380 was the hub and spoke model.

Airbus thought people wanted to fly from a small airport to a central airport, to transfer to a A380, then fly to the other side of the world, then transfer to a smaller plane to get to their final airport.

Thus, your trip ended up becoming 3 possible transfers!

This is insane that I can’t imagine why the designers didn’t think this through.

And airports had to upgrade their facilities in order to handle the increased weight of the jumbo A380. This was a non-starter to begin with.

Boeing correctly realized that people want a direct point-to-point travel, with no transfers in between. Thus, they won out in the next generation airplanes.

But, whatever happened to those Dreamliners anyways? I don’t hear much about them anymore.

> In case of SanFrancisco, the supply of good engineers that are available to be hired used to be limited compared to the demand.

If this were the case, salaries would rise until the supply equaled demand.

People have been calling this "shortage of engineers" for decades. A shortage means that demand exceeds supply at a given price (salary). If the market were free to adjust there can't be a long-term shortage. Salaries would quickly rise to the point where supply and demand were equal. If there is really a persistent shortage, why hasn't this happened?

When you talk about goods, long-term shortages can happen when either the supply is artificially constrained or there are some kind of price controls in effect. Which one is causing this shortage? There is no labor cartel in software. Nothing like the AMA keeping the supply of doctors limited. Anyone can learn from online sources and become proficient, and universities graduate truckloads of developers. So there's no artificial labor constraint. There is also no externally-mandated maximum salary for developers. So how can there be a long-term shortage?
Unless and until we start regulating cloud providers and social media companies as utilities then these issues will continue to present themselves.
> 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.

I am saying this as gently as possible: the majority of bigots don't walk around thinking or saying "Wow I sure am a bigot!". They mostly just think of themselves as normal people with normal values.

> Do you really think NASCAR, a big business, would have previously allowed it to be flown if it was universally considered a hate symbol?

>Do you not believe that people can stand on a public street corner and express their ideas freely, where many people will likely see and hear them?

The Government can restrict you on the street corner too. Take Covid, states/counties/cities/municipalities across the country are enacting curfews, so violate the curfew and they will arrest your chilling your speech...assuming you consider that an edge case as well, then just read the case law from the good old "soap box" days, which deal exactly with people setting up their soap boxes on the corner to talk to the public and yes the government can regulate that speech to a certain extent.

>Are you suggesting that the only way to exchange free speech online is for each passerby to create their own website and respond on their respective websites?

Do you have a website? Can I freely post on your website without your consent?

>Where is the online public square?

The web is the public square, you want to set up your own soap box (website) do it, but you have no right to take over someone else's soap box (website), and if they do give you some rights to stand on their soap box they certainly can place restrictions.

>if you think having domain name and hosting is a public square, then you are ignoring all of the precedents of those things being removed by private entities.

You are ignoring self hosting from private servers.
True. But you could host on a Pi via Tor, as an onion site.

Surprisingly, there are multiple causes to dysfunction. There's a certain tendency to prioritize the individual aggressively in the US - there are liberal failure modes as well as conservative failure modes.

My perspective is that California got eaten by NIMBYs and an ideology of trying to freeze in time to about 1970ish. Also, it seems that CAs adopted a lot of the neoliberal project, with commensurate successes and failures.

I also think that general expectations differ wildly from city/county to state to federal. Anyway. There are a hundred thousand books on "Why Does America Have Issues". This is what I've culled from my reading and observations of life.

edit: The GOP is most full frontal on it. The Democrats tend to approach things via "private contractor". Because, ideologically - in both of those cases - the private sector works better.

I don't believe that you don't actually understand the difference between "shoe or shirt color" and flashing hand signs for a photo.
The US laws about free speech are greatly liberal (if extended to protect non-citizens). Even something more restrictive like outlawing hate-speech is still a complete no-issue.

But privatizing those laws on the hands of a few companies only work as long as (besides other constraints) there isn't a mob pushing those few companies around. So, I'm completely in favor of letting MS police their platform, but the universal ones ought to be declared public services and there should be guarantees of universalization there.

1 - Not only ISPs, as for example an app store on a locked phone is universal to that phone's userbase.

Sure, happens all the time. You think waitresses and restaurant managers like belligerent customers? They often tolerate them anyway.

Like I said, this specific instance wouldn't concern me at all if it weren't for the over-arching trend, and my post was specifically targeting a (frankly hypocritical) type of reply that comes up every time this topic is broached.

I'm cynical enough at this point to wonder whether the states will add these terrible losses to the COVID-19-related statistics to advocate for stricter and longer lock-downs.
Hardly a surprise, I'm sure suicide rates and alcohol consumption are going up as well. It's a combination of loneliness, lack of supervision (can't find a better word, I mean someone who could help in case of an overdose), despair about the future. This pandemic is unprecedented for the modern people, many don't have the means to deal with it psychologically.
It's easy to bullshit yourself into thinking your ads are much more effective than they really are. It's even easier to bullshit the people who pay you to do ads for them. Advertising and analytics platform happily oblige both use cases.

As 'sokoloff wrote, it's easy to get a measurement on the screen. But gaining real insight from it, or even knowing whether that measurement makes sense, requires a certain amount of analytical thinking and knowledge of statistics. Maybe among corporate marketing departments such skills are plenty, but in my experience, it's not usually the case with small marketing agencies serving smaller companies. Bullshitting has a better effort/reward ratio, particularly when your customers understand statistics even less than you.
Sure, this practice is probably the reason they did it in the first place
> you cannot reason or meditate everything away

Yes, there are external events that are beyond one's control, but often one's reaction to those events is amenable to reason and/or meditation.

(A thought expressed, e.g., by Epictetus: "ταράσσει τοὺς ἀνθρώπους οὐ τὰ πράγματα, ἀλλὰ τὰ περὶ τῶν πραγμάτων δόγματα" — people are disturbed not by events, but by their opinions about events).
Check Lighthouse CI: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse-ci
Not gonna happen, surveillance is infrastructure, many have invested in this stuff, and it is actually working, you can catch lots of events. At this point many violent crimes, kidnapping have been solved using street footage, right out from the surveillance infrastructure.

Also, it is a technology, it is out of the box, nation-states, security forces are just two big players, MANY private organizations have their own surveillance systems deployed, even capturing nearby events of all kinds (cameras are just one type of sensor available, for few extra bucks you can catch as much wifi, gsm, bluetooth, infrarred footage data as you want).

Do not forget the millions of (personal) cameras already deployed maybe 10 years ago and its coverage enlarged in the last years (now most are wifi or connected to DVRs).

Not that I like it a lot, but this stuff is here to stay, not because anyone says it, but because everyone is asking for this technology.
Are you really saying that if i gave you a picture of a pirate with no pants on, you wouldn't notice unless i asked you what color his pants were?

A glance at the image would tell you those kinds of things, a 'glance' at a mental image should tell you the same, but it doesn't.

I agree that our experience of sight is an illusion as well, but its demonstrably different to the illusion of our experience of imagined imagery.
I don't understand the premise. Why would one expect to be able to interact with the world without any consequences ? That makes little sense, philosophically, at least to me.

Even hosting via Tor can have consequences, if the government has enough incentive.

However, practically speaking, I think the OP would probably be fine posting on AWS, as others have remarked.
That’s a partial attempt to walk back a central point that received vast amounts of criticism from many actual historians.
I've switched from a Kindle to Kobo a few months ago, and it's one of the rare features that I miss. Pocket integration gets me close enough, but Kindle really nailed the magazine approach in my opinion.

On the bright side, Kobo at least makes a distinction between a book and an article, while Kindle just treats everything as a book.

Last month we reached the top 5 social networking apps in the Apple App Store, and this is just the beginning. We are hiring for multiple roles:

IOS ENGINEER: You are interested in working with SwiftUI and also have UIKit experience too. You understand unidirectional data flow architecture and have worked with AVFoundation. You are able to take design comps and bring them to life with animations, transitions, and pixel perfection.

ANDROID ENGINEER: You have experience with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, because you want to build modern android apps. You've got some experience working with android.hardware.camera2 and are already exploring CameraX.

GAMING/GPU ENGINEER: You have experience with Metal Framework and ARKit on iOS. You'd like to work on both 2d and 3d camera experiences, as well as interactive mini-games.

You can be anywhere in the world. We give full benefits and unheard of equity compensation for the right talent. The time is now to come join our small team and help us grow into the best space to build communities for influencers and their fans.

Contact me on twitter https://twitter.com/samuel_mueller (DMs are open) or shoot us an email to jobs@blink.cm, we'd love to hear from you!
I think what the plots need is an option to show or hide each curve. It’s a rather large increase in complexity compared to just generating images, though.
Can the Apple App Store Support Bidding with IAPs?
Are there any writeups on how you can use IAPs to support bidding? Did a quick google and can't find any.
Maybe we could think of this like dieting. To not go off a diet, you need to keep some amount (10-20%?) of the stuff you like to eat. It's too hard otherwise.

In the same way, "Stop doing everything you find fun and fulfilling, and just stay home" is a tough sell. But if everyone cracked down 80%, we likely wouldn't need to crack down 100%.

The problem is with those who refuse to crack down at all. I'm not sure how to persuade them, short of arresting them. And even that would lead to something like bootlegging during prohibition.
This is also the case in the 49 US states that base their legal system on English Common law.
Yeah, police are just not that entrepreneurial in enabling crime.

BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP. Yes, I know it can involve more than that, but the real worth is in the data and just taking the time to do PROPER backups and verifies will kill 90% of the ransomware attempts out there.

Apple doesn't need dominance to hold back the shared web while driving forward its proprietary platform at full speed, it only needs veto power, which Safari-by-any-other-name on iOS gives it. I don't want Google to be able to just do whatever they want, either, but if Apple really cared about improving the web, they would be better known for making their own proposals for improvement than for mainly blocking others' proposals.
I think they mean custom/managed+locked-in solution.

EG: I can move HA PG to any provider but if I build around RDS specific tooling I'm boxed in and any migrations are OOM harder.
Sure, "full ownership" means owning the entire stack.

And it's a limited concept, in any case. I mean, you'd have no problem hosting anything as a Tor onion site, or on Freenet. You don't "own" either platform, but they're designed to guarantee decent anonymity, and takedown resistence. However, it's all too easy to screw up and lose your site, and perhaps your freedom. So you gotta know what you're doing, and practice good OPSEC.

It's like people have either been gaslit into thinking that there's no sane alternative to the current nightmare or are so shortsighted that they don't understand the horrors lurking around every corner that wouldn't be there if they stopped to consider the consequences of [checks notes] "google maps doesn't require you to to paste the address in before it starts to route" and "dash can drop a markdown formatted link". Because saving you one click is surely _so_ important that it's worth giving up everything for.
