They are doing some door knocks. They stopped by my house recently and left a card thing, I wasn't home.
That's not why you sign a credit slip. You sign it so the vendor can match it against the signature on the back of the card, because they are on the hook if you later claim fraud. If it matches the back of the card it is a lot harder to claim fraud.

The fact that you can put any doodle you want in there is because the vendors have decided it's cheaper to absorb the fraud than to check the signatures.
Sounds like a bad ups. Lead acid batteries can be discharged pretty far while still being rechargable..the same can't be said for lihion.

Car batteries are lead acid/gel cell batteries. They last for years and can take a very large discharge while still being rechargable.

Also, by cycle I meant a single vharge-discharge cycle can be more useful when larger amperage or more power is needed between charges.
Was the roll count correlated to multiple votes from the same address?

Where I live, you request a ballot and it gets mailed to you, so there is some controls in terms of people registered at old apartments. The voters vulnerable to shenanigans (nursing homes, etc) are equally vulnerable.

Personally, I think vote by mail is driving more turnout and is ultimately a good thing. I’m surprised that the GOP is so against it, as it will benefit them in local elections imo.
Uber and Lyft ordered by California judge to classify drivers as employees
Republicans know that requiring ID to vote will prevent poor people who are legally eligible to vote from voting

If it costs $15 to get an ID and you need an ID to vote, then it costs $15 to vote. Poll taxes are illegal.
> The voter rolls not dependable. It's not by design, but its a hard problem to solve.

I'm not sure why it has to be such a hard problem? If I file taxes in tax year N at a given address, and then file taxes in tax year N + 1 at a different address, then it's pretty clear that I am no longer a resident and should be removed from voter rolls. I'm aware that this doesn't cover everybody, but if you combine a few different such datasets that the government already keeps track of people moving, then you should be able to easily assure that most stale entries are removed in timely (<1 year) fashion.
The malicious intent behind any Voter ID law is that they generally don't include enough funding or accessibility to get a Voter ID itself.

In the USA this generally disenfranchises minorities, people from lower socioeconomic status, or those for whom English (and navigating complex information in English) is not a primary language.

If the government would MANDATE voter ID but then also gave 4 years for everyone to get one and made it nearly free, then I think much of the opposition would be gone.
I thought the point of this was to preserve technical knowledge. It's not poetry. You can translate it from language to language and it should all be isomorphic, because there is something measurable and concrete underlying both expressions.
Unless someone is using those dead voters or moved-out voters to actually vote, this isn't an actual changing outcomes.

If someone eligiable tries to vote but can't then that _is_ changing outcomes.
I don't need days of power, but I wanted a few hours. I ended up getting a Belkin Battery Backup REV B, BU3DC001-12V off of ebay and modified the barrel connector to fit my cable modem and router. I can get at least 3 hours (I haven't tested it longer than that). I'll probably get another while they're still available.

As for my server, I have it on a UPS big enough to allow it to shut down (with some slack for battery degradation). That's all I really need.

Famously, telegram has a bounty program- but was widely criticised for it, and for not doing a formal audit.

Criticisms here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6940665

I don’t doubt that they have more independent security analysis than just the bounty program; but using it as an argument that they’re paying people is not realistic.
Some Suggestions for Managing the Stress of Bootstrapping a Startup
The state of Massachusetts seems very likely to be able to process ballots by mail for essentially all voters in the primary (September 1!) and general elections. You will be doing your civic duty best by voting by mail rather than going to a polling place in person.
Why do you think this? I've only ever seen Democrats push more people to vote and republicans less so.

I was being hyperbolic much as the people who are against this policy are hyperbolic, but the idea is true at any level of governmental abuse. If we fear government overreach, bad record keeping is never going to offer much protection.
I don’t bother with the backup codes. Instead, I store the QR code used for setting up the 2FA functionality.
When I get a new phone, I can scan all the QR codes and immediately be back ready to go. If I lose my phone for whatever reason, I can do similarly. Although in that scenario I would also have to redo the 2FA and regenerate codes, considering the lost phone to be compromised.

I do the QR codes rather than whatever recovery codes just because every site seems to do recovery codes differently. The QR codes work consistently everywhere.

As far as how i store them, I keep encrypted digital copies. Not synced with cloud or anything.
I moved out of New York State two years ago. I registered in my new state and have voted by mail in my new state multiple times.

New York State still has me on the voter rolls there. I tried to find a place to have myself removed but I couldn't even find directions on what to do so I gave up and continue to get spam from candidates in my old district.
The Google internal wiki system solves this by showing you when the last update was and when the last review for staleness was. A user is assigned as the owner for a document. They get pinged when the article hasn't been updated in X months. They look it over and fix it, and the cycle starts over.
I think your approach is underestimating the reputational cost of a half-baked product. I've seen this with a few products, most recently Roam. I see a product with an intriguing concept, I try it out, and I discover there are some fairly severe limitations. In the case of Roam, it was not having a great way to export data. I then put down the product, and, in all likelihood, I won't go back. In addition, I've pointed out this limitation to several friends of mine who had expressed interest, and at least two of them have stated that it was a deal-breaker for them, and that they were significantly less likely to use Roam as a result.

To go back to your point, was "lack of export functionality" a "nice problem to have"? Arguably, yes. You don't have to worry about exporting data until you have users entering data, right? But, as Microsoft found out way back when it was building Word, users won't come to your system unless they know they can get their data back out again to share with others. [1] So just like Word's market share only really took off when it was able to write WordPerfect files, I predict that Roam will remain, at best, a curiosity until they implement an export system that allows the user to take his or her notes and use them in a different application.

Instead of thinking about problems in terms of what prevents users from signing up, or what prevents users from using the product, it's better to think about problems in terms of what prevents users from accomplishing the tasks this product is supposed to help them accomplish. In the case of Roam, the lack of export functionality (which at first might seem like a triviality) is actually a big deal, because the utility of a personal knowledgebase is significantly diminished if there isn't an easy way to get all the knowledge back out of it again. As a result, lots products in that space (not just Roam) suffer from marginal adoption because while it's easy for a user to sign up, it's much less obvious that the product is worth investing any significant time or effort into learning and using.

No. First of all, attitudes toward Chinese and other immigrants to the U.S. in the 20th century were formed, in part, by the language that was used by those in power. That Chinese immigrants were "dirty" was not fact, it was a racist stereotype.

Second, I do not contend that describing anything in negative terms is racist. I am linking the specific history of describing Chinese immigrants as dirty with the Clean Network's choice of names. It behooves us not to think of it as a benign coincidence but rather an intentional act to signal the Trump administration's commitment to xenophobia.

In general, my experience is similar in the USA.

However, I think your parent is describing what happens when the previous resident at your address doesn't register a new address. The Elections Department doesn't know if they died, emigrated, moved residences, or they now co-habitate at your address.
That’s a quite good analogy, yes.

The votes are counted in public. The envelope is verified and then put in a pile of verified envelopes. Someone else then removes the ballot from the envelope. In theory they do this face down so they can't see the name, which is verified by the other people watching them.

Then the ballot is placed in the same hoppers that the in person votes are put in and they are commingled.
Why are we tracking it via residency? If you're homeless, that doesn't invalidate your citizenship.

We need to move to a unique ID per person with password, that you can link to email(s), phone(s) or both. And then we can have on-line voting.
In my experience XDMCP/X11 forwarding works reasonably well, as long as your network is fairly quick and reliable.

Bernie’s defeat is an indicator that the Democratic Party has no appetite for someone who isn’t an insider, and older voters prefer the status quo. This is clear from exit polls, and is no surprise. Progress occurs one funeral at a time, some people will never change their belief and value systems.

One needs only to look back at the last 100 years of the United States both to see how far we’ve come and far we have to go.
Okay, I'll assume either negligence or innocence for the OP; but one important point is: Is there a lack of industrial zoned land in that region? Why didn't you buy or lease an industrial area to build whatever you are going to build.

Where I live, industrial lands run at 5-10 times the price of an agricultural land. So someone might justify going through the lengthy process (and bribe officials along the way) because he is going to profit at the end of it. At the detriment of people living or running their farms nearby.

My guess is that many people here are sympathetic because they didn't have their lives ruined by someone opening up a manufacturing unit next to their homes.
>> If I am a shoe maker and I make one shoe per day, and you invent a new process that makes 10 shoes per day, and my customers start buying shoes from you instead of me, have you "taken" my money?

No. But if you are a shoe-maker who employs 10 people to make shoes, and you pay them less than their skills are worth or take money for yourself beyond what is required to run the business, you are taking their money.

If you get a machine to make the shoes and fire the workers, and continue to charge me the same price for the shoes which now cost you less to make, now you are taking my money.
Why is that concern unique to vote by mail?
How could you have 3-4 families registered at a single address? Can't you validate against IRS, or drivers license, or utility data to narrow it down? I know that my utility payment info was used when I went to register in a new state - I punched the address into the gov portal and it said "are you eyegor? This information provided by xyz power"
I think your point stands as for why we don’t want such a database but between Social Security which is now tied to the new federal driver’s licenses, taxes, and the census I think it’s a tough sell that the government couldn’t assemble the same data.
I think that this is a fair question, especially if you don't live in the US.

The context is that certain populations in the US are known to be disenfranchised from getting ID. Here's an example from the Washington Post in 2016: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/courts_law/getting-a...

I actually really like the process that Elections Canada uses. They verified that most Canadians have ID (86% have Driver's Licenses). They identified the most common issue (proof of address) and added a mitigating process (mailing Voter Information Cards). And finally, they have a fallback: as a third option, a person's identity can be vouched for by a person who does have ID.

No problem being mostly anglophone centric and english being used as a common ground, otherwise it would complicate too much everything.

But i have a problem with the lack of representation of great books and cultural achievements/standards that are not anglo-centric at all.

I miss a lot of great works of the human kind.

This is so important that they should have specialized people to curate that list and not just get "the list of great books that are on the top of your head when you only have an average capacity to do so".

Where is Cervantes, James Joyce, Kafka, Rimbaud, Pessoa, Homer, Goethe, Proust, Shelley, Voltaire, etc..?

It doesn't need to be that much inclusive of course, but it would be cool if it was a small window to the broader human soul instead of a subjective perspective that seems to be missing a lot of the common ground that helped to shape the civilization the way it is.
So that's exactly 20 years older than I am; it seems things have gotten a lot better since then, see also e.g. [1] – looking through some of the specific lessons [2] it doesn't shy away from telling students that the Dutch were "the baddies", so to speak, pretty much from the get-go at groep 5 (aged ~9/10).

There are perhaps still some things that could be improved – I don't know the "facts on the ground" beyond my personal experience 20 years ago – but it certainly doesn't seem like an "ignored topic", and I'm quite surprised that in Britain the education system seems to mostly ignore this. Then again, I lived in England for a few years and the number of times complete strangers went off on some unprompted overtly racist tangent to me is quite shocking, so perhaps I shouldn't be so surprised...

I've never seen a reasonable (or any, in fact) person claim there's going to be "no more ice" on really any timeline. Could you link one of these studies? Sometimes people will make claims that are wrong, but I would think twice before doubting the consensus of (practically) the entire scientific community (the consensus being climate change is real, and is real bad. To the point that we need to do something immediately)
I think this was an example based on the op example.
Julian Assange is charged by the US for conduct that did not take place in the US.
What, this is real?! I already thought it was a Hollywood movie plot.
Down for weeks? That's pretty crazy. I wonder why.
And roughly zero deaths in the last 3 weeks, and low double digit new cases daily.
Then perhaps the federal authorities should push for federal ID cards so people can actually identify themselves when voting. It is beyond me how the State can enforce a non-voluntary tax liability on a citizen but has no way of reliably identifying said citizen - it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. 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. If they can't, they can ask a friend or election official to validate their identity at the election booth. I'm sure the government could provide ID cards free of charge cross-referenced with biometric data to avoid duplicates. This isn't a difficult problem to solve but it seems like the Democrats are trying to stonewall it any chance they get.
The issue with 1-1 communication is not the retention part but the exclusive and not complete part. If you have no retention but allow 1-1, the same person will just keep asking the same question over and over. Which will make everything worst.

Also as the sibling comment is saying, you won't change the culture of an organization only by an UX change or a software change, that can help, but that won't be enough
Ah I wasn't trying to say these are all primarily lager-producing countries, but I worded the sentence stupidly. Main thing is even the mass-produced and popular beers in these places are far better than ours. While taste is subjective, I don't think anyone would argue for Carling over, for example, Pilsner Urquell.
Yep, I didn't mention it because it is just the name of the pairing, not a specific product, and I'd already mentioned a lot of names.
There is a reason we don't see lihion car batteries, or fork lift batteries as a default. (Yes, Tesla's are li-ion, but that's a scale where the weight savings begins to matter. Iirc those battery packs can't deliver peak amperage quickly or many times in their life, e.g. ludicrous mode.)

Additionally, li-ion has non-neglegable disposal costs, so I don't think it's fair to count that solely again lead acid batteries.
You can use Authy, the restore feature works great. You simply have to save the recovery key somewhere safe. You also have to thrust the developer here (Twilio) in this case.
I’m sorry for your loss.

It sounds like you used a Back-UPS unit instead of a Smart-UPS, which I’ve heard switches to battery 10x faster than the Back-UPS.

After learning this I won’t use a Back-UPS for anything where meaningful data loss might happen. They’re great for lights, cable modems, WiFi routers, etc., though.
In the Netherlands we also require ID. But everybody already has an Id card because you need it to travel abroad. In the US, a lot of people dont have a passport, especcially the less wealthy ones.
They could also have any number of ways of secretly associating normal in-person ballots with the voter's identity. Perhaps the most obvious would be hidden cameras in the voting booths. There's no unique threat here.
> The problem with the testing aspect, though, is that test failures are most helpful when they're deterministic.

Let's not let `perfect` get in the way of `good`.

Certainly having a 100% traceable system would be ideal, most systems are not that.

There is still a TON of low hanging and easy to find issues that would automatically fall out of a system of random fails. Even if engineers have to spend some time figuring out what the hell is going on, it would overall improve their system because it would shine a bright shiny flashlight on the system to let them know "Hey, something is rotten here". From there, more deterministic tests and better tracing can be added.

> We built Repl.it to make it easy to explore and learn languages and programming paradigms. We were, however, surprised by how slow-moving the programming language space seems to be. Given how fast software is growing, shouldn’t we see more innovation in programming languages?

Isn't this like saying: "the construction industry is growing fast, how come there are no new hammers being invented every other week?"

I, too, love to learn new languages that introduce me to new ways of thinking and don't want that influx to dry up, but I don't think it is necessary from the perspective of programming as an industry.
Well, we would know that if we could try it.
The most frustrating thing is they seem to know—or be able to get if they want—everything about us until that information would help make life easier, then suddenly they're clueless and you have to go round up all the info for them, sometimes from other branches of government.
