What if I move during an election year, before the election? The IRS wouldn't have my new address.

If I don't update my driver's license, the DMV wouldn't have my new address either.

If I move in with roommates and I pay my roommate for utilities, the utility company wouldn't know my new address either.

Just a few reasons why it is a hard problem.
What's amazing about it? They make by far the best marmalade (although it's true that a lot of the commercially-made stuff is mediocre, so if that's all you've tried then you might not understand).

Anyway, if the people in Seville are prepared to part with their treasures, we're delighted to take them!
Ask HN: Who Did Separate a Django's Front End?
I need some advice and general thoughts on how to move my Django monolith's front-end to a front-end library. Is it a good thing in of itself? How should I approach it? How did you approach it? What did you learn from doing it?
Trying to wrap my head around "Poverty is not an excuse for government malice". Poor people are to blame for Republicans trying to disenfranchise them? Certainly those who vote for Republicans I guess...

Seems like you aren't in the US so maybe you don't know the history. Basically the US has a very long history of white supremacists protecting their own power and wealth at the expense of non-white people through disenfranchisement. This continues today. I'm arguing from the point of view that this is bad and should not be a basis for policy.

It's not that it's impossible for some practical reason, the problem is that the republican party (which still holds a huge amount of power at the federal, state, and local level even when they don't hold the presidency) actively wants to deprive people of their voting privilege because they suspect those people might decide to vote against them.
AWS 2020 budget is $40B and that's just one cloud provider.
Source on number of openings? You can also do a lot of data science/engineering on open data. There is a huge amount of open data out there.

Edit: Downvoted for a question. Keep carrying on with the idiocy.
Just need to look out for Republican police officers from Minnesota casting illegal ballots in Florida. How do people like that even get registered without suitable documentation?
I would assume said code should never be part of actual deployments or only part of unit tests, maybe an external project even.

Congratulations. You have now instituted both a poll tax/at least obstacle to voting and a Federal ID card. You have pretty much managed to alienate the entire political spectrum in the US.
DRM also has an amplifing effect here.
HN loves productivity porn, to feel like you're productive without actually accomplishing anything
When I lived in King County Washington half the time my vote was sent back due to mismatching signature. Heard similar stories from others. Maybe it stops fraud, but the high false negative rate is egregious.
Not necessarily. If you have 0 customers but your MVP already depends on a bunch of external services, you have hard lock-ins or running costs from the beginning. Scaling and putting everything on scalable infra should be reserved for projects that make it past a couple of paying customers (= validation).
That's fair, but the point is Uber tried to meet all of these. The ball is in the state's court now to test and enforce.

My feeling is (2) is overreach and has caused unnecessary collateral damage to many non-rideshare businesses. As a non-rideshare business owner myself, I hope (2) gets struck from the law as a result of the rideshare legal battles.
The central database would be useless because a significant numbers of Americans think requiring proof of who you are is voter suppression.
For what its worth, if you have the space for it, I can't recommend a pair of gymnastics rings enough. Unbelievable amount of versatility for $50. I've had powerlifting equipment, adjustable dumbbells, kettlebells, bands, access to gyms, and with a little bit of volume I feel like I'm getting more work done with rings than I have without about anything I've used in a decade; and they haven't completely sold out of everywhere yet...
Did you mean Command + D? That is what works for me (thanks for the tip!)

- Password manager for both password storage and 2FA OTP generation. (Not the best practice, but the convenience is worth the trade-off.)

- Password manager for almost all 2FA backup code storage. Both the best place and the dumbest place to store these. "The best" because it's pretty secure; "the worst" because it's a single point of failure AND if I can access my password manager I already have access to my 2FA OTPs. I regularly make an encrypted backup of my password vault.

- Authy for 2FA OTP generation for my password manager.

- A printed card in my wallet for 2FA backup codes for my email account and password manager. Password manager master password is kept in a safe (in case I get hit in the head and forget it).

This isn't perfect, but it fits my risk profile.
I don't think a Turing-incomplete language implies that programs always terminate. As a counter-example, imagine an obviously Turing-incomplete language that contains only a single instruction which simply does nothing in an infinite loop.
Yeah I think you're definitely right, and Algorithm W is how HM was introduced to me when I studied it.

kevincox's comment sums up my misunderstanding.
When the power goes out on an APC UPS, just press and hold the "On" button until it chirps. Alarms are silenced.

Now imagine the sound at the APC factory, when the power goes out and thousands of UPSes on the charging racks start beeping in sync...! (this is not a hypothetical)
Are you allowed to "print" (ie. not use cursive) your signature? If so that would go a long way to making your signatures more recognizable, especially if you don't normally write in cursive.
I really don’t understand why there is so much opposition to online voting in the US.
I think people fetishize voting as this super hard problem whee it must be anonymous, must be verifiable that the vote was counted and was correct but in such a way that a person can’t prove to someone else their vote or even that they voted.

It’s just exhausting. Just have an account with the government, fill out your ballot, hit submit, post the votes publicly that are counted and let people find their ballot by some ID number if they want and call it a day.

I’m willing to bet that more people than not are more than willing to use this system.
For sure, but this page is also trying to position the US government as a trustworthy provider of equipment for other governments. Given some of the historical work done by the US secret services [1] it's laughable that another government would take this seriously.

It's not any more problematic for the voters, yes, but what about the poll workers? They stay there all day and skew older. The big concern is that reliable poll workers are going to skip this year because of COVID (not unreasonable) and we simply won't have people to facilitate the voting we normally do.

Seconding all those saying resistance bands. They are the perfect complement to daily walks or jogging since weight is minimal and they easily sling over the shoulder. I see more people using them every month. For ideas on how to use them I suggest looking up Undersun Fitness on YT.
Oh my God, the end of the article is absolute gold! What a lovely tradition. I'm going to start offering piggyback rides to everyone I meet. Here's an excerpt of Alexia's experiences offering piggyback rides to various notable people:

> The Mighty Piggybacker

Marvin Minsky Lofty pioneer in artificial intelligence. "Great view! I could almost touch the bottoms of the traffic lights!"

__Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie __Creators of Unix. "I looked up to them as an undergrad at Cooper Union. Who would have imagined I'd actually get to meet them, let alone offer piggybacks! And afterward I got to fly with Ken in his plane!"

Zvi Galil Dean, School of Engineering, Columbia University. "Very fit. Jogs umpteen miles a day. Carries well."

__Penn & Teller __Comedians. "I carried Teller. But Penn (the big one) could not be persuaded that his weight was not an issue."

Calton Pu Massalin's PhD adviser. "Excellent piggybacks. Carried me 30 city blocks once! That's my longest piggyback ever from a single person."

__Neil Reynolds __Fellow grad student at Columbia. "At 6' 6", 350-plus pounds, the heaviest person I've carried. His rides are spectacular. He hardly notices it when I jump on."

__Renate Valencia __Massalin's girlfriend. "Much more than piggyback rides: also in-her-arms carries, over-her-shoulder carries, assorted spins and tosses. She can grab me by my armpits and twirl me round in the air!"

__Mort Meyerson __CEO, Perot Systems. "Not only accepted my offer, but did so with much enthusiasm. Restored my faith in humanity."

Richard Stallman Founder of the Free Software Foundation. "Impolite shrug; I did not even finish offering the piggyback when it became clear that further conversation would not have been appreciated."

__Douglas Adams __Author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. "Unceremoniously ignored an offer of a piggyback, as if I was crazy or something :-)"

__Nicholas Negroponte __Director of the MIT Media Lab. "Very politely declined several offers."
What kind of threat scenarios are you looking at ?

> If you are not storing them in a secure manner, then using 2FA is not really an additional layer of security.

Even if you simply have them written on a post-it note glued to your monitor people would have to physically break in your home to access them, which to me sounds like a very big additional layer of security for most people (as in: it won't happen unless you're a target for something big). Back them up to an off site (physical or digital) locations in case of a fire/flood/&c.

> However, even using your password manager would not make much sense, as if someone gains access to it, 2FA will not protect you from anything.

If that's how you see it then nothing is "safe". Memorising them ? Storing them in a physical bank safe ?

I wouldn't sweat it unless you're a person of interest in which case you'd probably already be in contact with security professionals.
That headline isn't anything to be proud of, I'm not sure if 10% is supposed to sound significant or insignificant, but at any sort of scale 10% is enough to potentially change a close election.

What we don't have for comparison a similar breakdown for elections in physical polling places. Politicians engage in all sorts of squabbling and shenanigans every election in attempts to knock votes off of opponent's tallies. I'm sure the difference between votes cast and votes counted is pretty substantial in any election.

If the rates are similar then this is not much of a headline at all.
Working class people get the opportunity to go to the top universities as well - which university you went to isn't a definitive statement about your background. I came from a working class background, went to a generic local comprehensive, then was accepted into the University of Cambridge.
With the FCC 2.5 GHz Rural Tribal Window[1], I would expect a lot of the tribes (or their designated org) will be trying to put up their own data networks. Its nice to see others that have already succeeded, as it seems like a pain to get any information on what equipment is needed.

This sounds like a very bad software for pdf creation. Notice that the pdf standard contains the jpeg and the png formats as subsets, so you can embed such images directly into a pdf file.
>but neither has anything to do with making "50% of global FF users are based in DACH " anywhere near an accurate statement.

DACH is not just Germany neither is it just Germany, Austria and Switzerland it's the German speaking world (and that isn't just DE, CH, AT, LU and LI either) Those reach nearly 30-40% of worldwide users go look it up yourself.

>25% is indeed greater density than 10% and bicycles have two wheels

Someone seems mad his useless comment got debunked. You tried to "well actually" while not understanding the irony of your own post.

>HN isn't the kind of place for your closing comment. Also you replied to yourself by accident.

That should be a reply of mine to you seeing you are literally just posting for the sake of posting after realizing your argument is beyond useless. Your post could literally have been "I LIKE SPAGHETTI" and it would have contained the same amount of valuable information as it does now.
We also don't call, say, the Spanish conquest of the Netherlands "colonialism", yet we still celebrate our independence from Spain (indeed, our entire royal house is based on this).

I think it's mostly just a bit of a bikeshed over terminology to be honest; we could also call it "European conquest of Africa", or whatnot, but that's just the same as "colonialism" with a different name.
The difference is the US is a liberal democracy and the Chinese Communist Party is a group of thugs.
Re: home weights, we used to use barbells made from steel pipe and concrete during rowing practices. The concrete "weights" were molded with paint buckets.
This is a really interesting point - that the progressiveness of a taxation system can favor or inhibit certain business models, not just the volume and velocity of commerce in general.
I've always used line-interactive aka double-conversion UPS. Both because of the battery failure issue, and to protect equipment from crappy generator power. Basically there are rectifier and inverter circuits, with batteries on the DC side.
I would have never imagined someone saying the PL space is moving slow.

I can’t keep up with all the advances, in practice or research.
I like your desire to restrain politician's incentives, & watching folks like Joe Biden takes these kind of steps (selling all his stocks thirty years ago) is a good thing to do.

At the same time it seems wholly insufficient. Whether Betsy DeVos has stocks is not really that relevant, when she still is going to act on behalf of her ultra-rich clan & other extremely well-monied interests.

I'm all for raising standards but I think there's a huge continent of politician who exist only to be bad guys, & some large large amount of people seem to love them for their wretchedness.
BeyondCorp is essentially a VPN but a different structure. That puts security on all the machine nodes. It's more secure than a VPN because it doesn't have a gooey center being a single entry point.
Even with testing, it’s still just hope; to quote Buzz Lightyear, it’s hoping with style.
Dude - I went to your side. I looked up a random word - it had a 3 word definition with 12 seconds to interaction, at least a second of blocking content, a pageload time of 25 seconds (!! for three words!), 352 requests! 1.5MB page size, and content farm crap filling out the rest of the page.

I mean, I'm a user of the web, and I hated sites like this.

You score terribly among all major search providers I tried BTW. Your page-speed score was an F.

You have something like 50 redirect chains on a page with three words!!

Some of these chains are 20 items long (ie, 20 redirects). I mean - how does this even happen?

Quick heads up - This is going to rank terribly everywhere.

Yes, google does "penalize" content farms, and they did a big redo a while back to really try to push this type of 99% repeating content off their index. I've no doubt they hit some good sites, yours doesn't look like one at first glance, but even if I just go unlucky there were tons of sites (review sites / how to sites) that just had endless repeating content with very little originality.

How do folks at google even have time to deal with sites like this and these types of complaints "I confronted Matt" etc...
Apologies. That's just what I thought of when the comparison with indigenous was brought up.

But that's not the only reason it's a bad comparison. When Manhattan was purchased there was no market. Chinese are buying things at market prices. Which I was taught are fair.

Yes it is, but if "leading functional language" means "on the cutting edge of research into functional languages" then that might well be used to describe Haskell.

If leading refers to overall usage in industry, then sure, it's not really relevant.
The point isn't that the US government has never done anything evil or will never do anything evil again. The point is that you aren't going to stop someone determined to commit evil by making it slightly more administratively difficult. If we fear that eventual evil, let's work to prevent it. Let's stop allowing this potential abuse to be the sole deciding factor against us doing good work today. It didn't stop us when we built the interstate highway system, which was largely built to facilitate military transport, so why should it stop us now?

Also I'm not asking for a database including every possible detail about a person. I see no reason why something like race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, or an number of other traits should be recorded. But a simple database with names, DOB, most recent address, a national id, etc would be extremely helpful.
>ID cards in Sweden cost roughly 350 crowns, which is around 40 USD. If people can't be bothered to get one of those cards to vote in an election then I see no reason to accommodate them as the fee is so low and 99.9% of people can afford it.

A $40 poll tax that "99.99% of people can afford" is still a poll tax.
The list also missed formalware which, I assume, is still a thing.
Nah.

I think you may not understand their intent which is to bring innovation to programming language design.

Language design is one of those "hard" problems that most feel is meant for "rockstar developers" like Rich Hickey or José Valim.

To me, it appears that Repl.it is doing two things with this hackathon:

1. supporting existing language designers creativity

2. encouraging "regular" devs to try their hand at proglang design
> Uber and Lyft say drivers prefer the flexibility of working as freelancers

What would prevent Uber and Lyft from continuing to let employee drivers set their own hours?
Not exactly. "halt -f" depends on some variant of power management working. For extra fun, you could also have partial power-offs, like say a power cut to the motherboard, or any combination of other devices with their own power lines from a power supply. (in a current PC these would typically be PCI supplementary power, motherboard, SATA power, 4-pin 12v molex power, supplemental CPU power.)

Granted, most of those are out of scope for cloud development, but the concept of externally cutting off a VM is different than even calling whatever power service you have to cut power. In the 'real' world, enough of those failure triggers above would probably also trigger an automated power cycle if you're in a managed environment.
Oh you, sweet summer child...
It's hard to understand from other countries but voter ID laws and a lot of voting changes (eg: eliminating voting days and polling places) have been specifically [0] targeted at minority populations and by proxy at the Democratic party. [1] There's a long history of this happening and when the Supreme Court removed a law requiring some states (in the south) with a long history of extremely racist voter suppression to get approval for changes a few years ago there were suddenly large reductions in voting sites, days, and attempts at instating voter ID laws.

[0] As in we have emails where they talk about specifically eliminating Sunday as an early voting day because it's heavily black and disproportionately Democratic.

Interesting, one of the guys that worked on my Uni's DC told us that the fire suppressor system is interlocked: to enter the DC, you need to open a door using a key. Upon opening the door, the fire extinguishing system is disabled, and is only enabled when the door is closed. The people working in the DC are supposed to keep the key on themselves. Also, they used Halon 1301 instead of Argon as the gas.

It's not a matter of users picking privacy vs no privacy. It's just one point in the package Apple are offering. For some people it's a major point, and for some people it's not. But it's still a point, and it's one nobody can compete in so it's particularly strong. They are just leveraging a competitive advantage, but it's not the only one.

Phishing, Pharming, Vishing, and Smishing
Since we're a wildly speculating about herd immunity (without concrete evidence like widespread antibodies testing and a clear proven link between antibodies and long-term immunity), in all likelihood, Sweden can afford to be lax because all of its neighbors are not being lax.

If Germany decided to adopt Sweden's or the US's lax approach, the virus would have ravaged Germany like it is the US, and would have rapidly spread into small neighboring countries like Sweden. This isn't just the case for Sweden, It applies to all the small Nordic countries that are seeing good outcomes. The policies they enact are ultimately a rounding error compared to the impact of policies enacted in large neighboring countries like Germany and France.

This is basically what happened in the US, where states like Texas and Florida appeared to be doing well early on, but only because lockdowns in New York and other areas with early outbreaks temporarily protected them. Once everything reopened, those states were inundated with the pandemic.

Canada is only doing better perhaps because it still has entry restrictions on visitors from the US. If they open up their borders to US citizens before the pandemic is brought under control in the US, their efforts will be for naught.
Based on my extremely biased view from HN, Reddit, and Twitter, it seems like nearly every dev has their own toy language project. The number of language announcements and compiler tutorials on HN is astronomical, several of which are from myself.
Watermark: I worried that the free version adds a watermark.

Resolution: I tried with a smaller video. 720p is probably fine.

>> It would be nice to see the options before I click upload file.

The landing page only says "Upload file..." and after I click it I get the options like 8/50/100Mb. Why do I have to click "Upload file"?

The advanced options like "mute" are hidden by default. I think it is a good idea to hide them initially.
> Why are we tracking it via residency? If you're homeless, that doesn't invalidate your citizenship.

How do you decide which elections a person is eligible to vote in? There are district, city, county, state-level polls and your residency determines which elections you're eligible to vote in
