That, and have an UNOFFICIAL digital count as well, the one that's done quickly for the news and everyone making planning, with the official, double-counting verified recount reaching the same numbers as the electronic and previous hand count (within a very small % for human error).

If there's a disagreement the human counts are repeated until within 0.001% and then they're official.
And you're brushing off all the conflict that Native Americans brought to bear against white settlers (do read some accounts of Apache or Comanche raids some time), and the concessions given to Native Americans after they were conquered (namely their own sovereign nations and plenty of carveouts to hunting and other laws so they can continue to practice their culture unhindered).

They "weren't even given citizenship" because they were considered citizens of their own sovereign nations, not because the US gov't were acting maliciously. For this reason they also weren't required to register for Selective Service to be drafted into WWI (despite this, many non-citizens waived their exemption and registered anyway - maybe they didn't hate the country as much as some might suppose).

I don't know what you expect the US gov't to do when attempts at peaceful coexistence between white settlers and the natives tribes failed. Run away as far as the Apache would chase them (to the Atlantic)? No, they went to war as needed, and even allied with other tribes in doing so.
The "app list" in GNOME is a database of XDG desktop files which you can create manually if you want. Refer to the freedesktop.org docs.
Yes this is true: federalism being applied to control of elections is probably good for election security. But there’s only a small handful of vendors and if an attacker was able to crack one of them they might be able scale the attack to many deployments of that vendor’s systems.
After their disaster in Wisconsin I'm going to wait till they actually spend the money before considering it newsworthy.
There is a little LED that lights up when they open. The door latch is controlled via software and so is the light, though I would assume in the case of power failure they'd unlock for fire safety reasons.
Maybe it's different with a "nation". If a Frech national comes and builds some fences in Maine that stay for 10 years, can he claim they've moved the border of France?

A little absurd, yes, but I'm not sure adverse possession applies so cleanly to state boundaries as people seem to be implying in a few HN threads...
From my understanding it's not just a dummy input and somehow adds noise because some computers won't pick up the input unless there's a signal.

I’ve never had it not work in the browser.
so, I'm curious, do you write the type of the function first?

When I used to write haskell, I'd very often write a function, iterate on it until it did what I want, then infer the type of the function and insert that into the program. Now, I was relatively new to haskell, so was probably less comfortable writing types than reading them (so I assume it was nicer to have the compiler do that for me, eyeball it to check it's what I meant to do, and put it in).

I'm wondering if someone more familiar would think "alright, what type do I want my function to be", fill that in, and then write the type out?

I definitely agree that a program is more readable with types, which is why I always filled them in (I just did it afterwards!)
OMG! It really whips the Llama's ass!
Better yet, Lenovo has a little plastic cover built into the camera under the lens.

I don't need to trust the implementation of some switch, I can physically cover up the camera with a nicely integrated cover. No trust required for about 0.01¢ of plastic.
Somehow I am doubtful that you can trivially build what dropbox does. I am on their pro plan, I have tried running Syncthing on my own servers but the cost is quite prohibitive.

I have about 300GB of photos there. Some of the files change, sometimes generating quite a lot of space - e.g. I think calculating the deleted files it is quite possible that I have few terabytes of data at any given moment. I looked into getting that space on Digital ocean and it would be way more expensive.

That is not including the price of my own labor, how much time would I spend on managing my own solution? Can I guarantee the same level of safety as Dropbox does? They have people thinking about security, I don't even have time upgrade my servers - beyond automatic update..

We did not even get into weird corner cases... Couple of months ago I was running some machine learning experiments and misconfigured the logging process and ended up with about 15m small log files in my dropbox folder. I had contacted the support and it was dealt with. Had I been using something like SVN I would have to manually purge the history or something like that.

IDK, I am very happy for the value I am getting out of my money. For me the biggest value is that it works and I don't have to do anything about it.

I remember back when Visual Studio 2012 shipped with black & white toolbar icons, and main menu in ALL CAPS. This was all backed by studies that supposedly showed how most users prefer it that way, according to the lengthy blog post about it.

Let's just say the community's reaction was not in line with those studies...
Do you think it would be right for the government to fund a competitor to an American business? Wouldn't it make sense for the government to just use or license Libre Office if it was good enough to meet their needs?
No, it wasn't. The claim was whether it was implemented correctly, as the entire conversation started with examples where it was not implemented correctly.
It is the mentality not the thinking. In china no one trust anyone really. Hence security strangely is no 1 priority. Hence the cover is in Lenovo portable, but not apple. You are guilty somehow somewhere and to be checked out, and vice visa.

Like fish said to be the final species to discover water, one mainlander comes to hk and surprise to see us so relax about security. What the law even assume people are innocent until proved otherwise ...

the mentality of hermit in One of the largest population of ... hermits. You just put on your shell.

As now become one of the hermit by force and talked as a hermit, may I suggest they just do it away with the camera. Use a wireless or usb based one. No hacking possible.

Economically (if not ethnically) trust is important as it lower the transaction costs. Chicago school heritage I guess of pre NSO HONG Kong. I switch to my two mac Mini of intel and arm. Unfortunately still have the old 3 cable apple monitor (work well with both 2018 and 2012 MacBook Pro) that have a camera. Guess a cover is ok.

If we're talking about common, I'll add:

3: to normalize anonymity so that people in groups 1 and 2 stand out less, have less peer pressure to compromise themselves, and so that attackers have to spend more resources than if they could focus their attacks on the few people they actually want to target (compare HTTPS Everywhere and other "Encrypt all the things!" efforts).
In terms of giving some kind of supply chain assurance it's not a bad idea by itself. I'd prefer a non-bricking variant with a red boot screen warning about non-original spare parts, or something to that effect.

Apple is making the right decision here.

My iOS device has never once shown me "this website requires Chrome." I get to use the mobile web without needing Google. And Apple is the only reason why.

Maybe some day, web apps will become so undeniably awesome that Safari's position is untenable. But the agitation is not coming from iOS users missing out on awesome PWAs. Instead it's web developers, who are just annoyed that they have to actually respect the conventions of the platform they're building for.
I find that using black electrical tape works just fine and fits within the space between the display and the keyboard without any problems at all.
I actually was thinking more in line with how you can download Android APKs and install them directly. More like F-Droid, especially for a platform like Apple that doesn't allow third party app stores.
I don't know Japanese, but aren't there also cases where you would want the original spelling? Glancing at a list of English loanwords in Japanese, I'm guessing that for words like batā 'butter' or chāji 'charge' you could plausibly want the original instead of the romaji.

Perhaps it's hard to say much more without knowing who these transliterations are supposed to serve. If it's a general Japanese-speaking population with limited knowledge of English, I'm not sure whether they'd prefer romaji or the original spelling.
Based on my personal programming experiences, if there's no fundamental problems and they're just fixing minor edge cases then about 90% of the work still needs to be done

Sure. Once a stock is listed on a major exchange, those stocks make their way into various index funds. 401ks most typically offer a very limited selection of funds there's no way for an individual to choose to own funds that exclude a particular company.

It's rigged in the sense that the banks know the stock is worthless, but if you grease the right palms, you get to IPO, and the money you receive from the IPO is not investors that believe in your company, it's the fund managers that are managing other people's money, and they don't care about fundamentals or sound investing. It's the political class siphoning money from the working class. Do you think Warren Buffet is going to participate in this IPO?
On MacBooks Apple says their microphone disconnect is "done in hardware alone", so it might be that closing the lid disconnects something physically.
I haven't voted in Oregon, but the vote-by-mail I have done has a two envelope system. The outer envelope has identifying information, and that can be used to give you a notification. It is then separated from the inner envelope, which goes to the counting.

Observers are present to ensure nobody correlates the the information with the ballot or tampers with the post-opening process.
I prefer aluminum foil under the tape that's over the lens so it can be flipped up out of the way easily but still block the view. But the cover does the same thing and doesn't take the effort of putting in a piece of tape.

If a company like Monsanto cured cancer, couldn’t you laud that effort even if you still disagree with other practices of the organization? Things, people, companies are rarely all good or all bad. We should applaud Facebook for their FOSS projects, while, for instance, pushing back against the walled garden and other data practices.

> the distinction between "human level" intelligence and "human like" intelligence

I 100% agree with this and think it is a important distinction. I'm glad you brought it up. One of my hobbies has been reading a lot of linguistics and about languages. There's the whole linguistic relativism topic at hand. When you learn just a little about linguistics you find that embodiment is embedded into our language, as the last sentence gave an example of (the use of "hand," which was likely unnoticed). There are lots of cultural references (especially with Americans) that make things more difficult too. Much of our language is dependent upon this multi-agent factor (I'd argue that language itself was born because we are social creatures). There's general language patterns that arise because of embodiment, environment, and culture. This affects the way we think. So I think this distinction between "human level" and "human like" is an important one. If AGI is not trained in a similar fashion to human growth and history it would have very different thinking styles, wants, and needs. But that wouldn't prevent it from being hyper-intelligent. I'll leave with an overly simplified saying

Except we are lazy and will come to rely on the digital system, then we will never care to recount unless there's a lot of pressure, and even then it might take so long that we will probably not wait. Already a US presidential election was decided on the wrong count, when the proper count came out it was too late.
Talking about countries versus companies is a different argument depending on whether you are inside or outside Chinese borders.

I'm not at all in favor of the US government banning apps unless the US government publicly and transparently shows the proof of security risk first. Anything short of that just appears to be politics and is likely to just be a negotiation tactic.

I prefer more privacy controls and transparency (which gives consumers / Attorneys General the ability to sue the app company), but I don't want my government to see the Chinese government's policies as the thing we need to compete with.
I have a bit over 8 gigabytes of space in my Dropbox. You could get extra space by creating VMs, then inviting your secondary email accounts to Dropbox and installing Dropbox in a VM. I don't know if this still works.
Maybe not with the official tools, but it works great with rclone [1]. Which to me is far superior to any official tool but hey, to each their own.

One thing about the old menus is that they were extremely configurable. Like, you could not just hide or reorder items, but reorganize the hierarchy if you wanted. People mostly used that for toolbars, but Office menus are technically a kind of toolbar.

Some of that still lives on in Visual Studio, where it is even extended to context menus:

It also works on Linux. Specifically on ext4.
I sort of like the idea of avoiding exactly representable floats (you typed 4 but maybe you get 4-ε) to remind programmers that errors creep into most expressions and compound, and tight error bounds require numerical error analysis.

Sure, in hindsight. I would argue that all of those stocks had their negatives in 2010 that could easily cause investors to look elsewhere though. The real question is what stocks are you going to buy today to beat the S&P over the next 10 years? It probably won't be that same bundle as in 2010.

This works for me, but might not work for you.

I can't pick up and learn an entire how-to book. But I can use a how-to book to help me complete a project. Once the project is done, and I have an incomplete mental schema for how the new language/platform/framework/tool works, I'm ready to read the book.

At this point I can quickly sail through it, skipping the parts I already learned during the project, and then diving deep on the parts I didn't. The key is using the hands-on project as a reason to build up a filing system in your head. Then as you're reading, you know where -- and whether -- to file all the new information.
Teacher salary is dependent on how wealthy the school district's tax constituents are, because education funding in the US comes from property taxes.

Given the amount of education, time and their own resources they're expected to put in to do their jobs, I wouldn't categorize them as "good", and would say generalizing their compensation as poor would be accurate given those points.
Dropbox sells one thing: easy to use drive space in the cloud.

Dropbox failed to do one thing: give people compelling reasons to put a growing amount of stuff there so they would keep paying for and upgrading their accounts.

Imagine these scenarios:

- A user dumps their photos into dropbox and automatically is granted a flickr quality site with all of their photos there and organized. They can add metadata in the site and dropbox just makes it "work". Now I want to keep putting photos up and need to keep upgrading and paying for my account. Dropbox could have taken on Flickr and any number of other photo sharing sites.

- A user dumps their music collection into dropbox and automatically get a private site they can use to listen to their collection. Now I have to keep paying for their service and upgrading to add new music. Dropbox could have taken on any number of music services.

- A user dumps the music they created into dropbox and automatically get a soundcloud like experience to share their music. Now I have to pay to keep sharing my creations and upgrading to add more. Dropbox is now taking on soundcloud, and any number of other music sharing services.

- A user dumps their videos into dropbox and automatically gets a youtube like channel they can use to share their works. Now Dropbox is taking on youtube...and video takes up a ton of storage.

Give a storefront now people can sell their music, art, videos and now their livelihoods are tied to paying for Dropbox to exist.

And on and on and on. Dropbox could have been hugely disruptive to any number of other sites and instead is a languishing file sharing site that's targeting enterprise customers (meanwhile enterprises are actively trying to block dropbox from their systems as it's an easy exfil route) -- and it's in a crowded space competing with companies who are making it necessary to have their file sharing services because they're tying all kinds of productivity applications to their storage (OneDrive, Gdrive, etc.) that enterprises are willing to approve even given possible exfil risks.
I'm surrounded by leased BLM land around here but the parts I've seen are not overgrazed. The lessees are very long term and their livelihood depends on the quality of the forage from year to year. If not overgrazed, cattle have a very positive effect on the landscape. They cultivate the ground with their hooves and excrete fertilizer and seeds. A well grazed lot grows more cow food than an ungrazed one. Even the ranches that focus on elk hunting graze cattle to improve the land for the elk.

ISO-8601 does not allow replacing the T with a space. You are thinking of RFC 3339 “Date and Time on the Internet: Timestamps”, a profile of ISO-8601 that does allow replacing the T with a space.

From https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339#page-8:

> NOTE: ISO 8601 defines date and time separated by "T". Applications using this syntax may choose, for the sake of readability, to specify a full-date and full-time separated by (say) a space character.

Without any idea of what your infrastructure looks like, I can't give you anything actionable, but that might be enough advice in and of itself: go after the low hanging fruit first. What are you spending on? Look at the top two or three services by spend and dig a little deeper.

Are you spending on bandwidth? See if there's compression you can enable. Ec2? Can your reduce instance sizes or autoscale down instances you're not using overnight? Elasticache or elastic search? Tune your usage, store smaller keys or expire things out.
