I don’t think gp was implying rendering as such to be racist, but was more concerned about people taking these renders as fact and using them to justify a prejudiced world view.

If someone is prone to accepting the idea that caucasians are superior to others they may use something as seemingly innocuous as this neat project to justify their positions and the lack of disclaimers towards the inaccuracies of certain aspects of these renderings may do a small harm societally.

On its own it’d be fine but in conjunction with other symbols and narratives it can become part of a larger, more sinister narrative.
I assume they disambiguate using the zip code. If you've got the correct zip code (or even just part of the correct zip code) you can really narrow things down.

I don't have the best handwriting, but I always try to write the zip code legibly on the assumption that if my letter gets to the right neighborhood, the local post office will be able to recognize the full address easily enough.
Make it public and put it in version control, every time a vote is counted you publicise a new revision, everybody with an interest can download regularly and check for tampering?
Sure, it was only a “friendly” presence because we installed a government there after the last invasion.

It is, nevertheless, the case that Trump changed that into an invasion again.
Issue 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17... up to N for N registered voters.
Mix them up and hand out randomly. So let's say you get 5 and I get 7.

To vote, you cast your prime for a candidate, thereby consuming it. No two candidates can share a prime, because their checksums will have a common factor, which is not allowed.

If we both vote for candidate A, his checkproduct is now 35.

If ballots 11, 13 and 17 vote for candidate B, his checkproduct is 2431. Because 2431/5 = 486.2 (non-integer), you can verify that your vote was not counted for B, but it was for A, because 35/5 = 7 (an integer). And because 2431 and 35 don't share any factors, no two votes were counted twice.
how are people who still live their cis-lives, happy and don't really plan anything medical trans? Or is trans today just a catch-all phrase for everything a little androgynous?

> but many trans people use language to describe themselves that other trans people would be offended by.

this seems very much like some orthodoxy trying to prescribe their opinion. What's the problem with that language as long as (I assume) people are happy with it?
Maybe they should maintain the postal boxes, have enough sorting machines, maintain the necessary manpower/processes, and remain independent enough to deliver the fucking mail.

I'd pursue a different avenue honestly. Autism as I understand it is a difference in brain development, it is not something you can cause by wanting.

Your same logic has previously been tried on gay men too varying levels of insistence, it hasn't stuck yet.

Autistic people somewhat commonly experience Alexithymia, which is an inability to understand their own feelings. The common example is an autistic person chronically dehydrated because they cannot identify their own sensation of thirst. Emotions are also physical sensations.

I think a much more promising angle is to look at incidence of Alexithymia and gender dysphoria.
This is only a risk if ballots are not issued privately.

You absolutely do not want consensus anywhere near an election. Consensus is not about agreeing on the total balance of transactions, it's about agreeing on individual transactions. It implies that multiple people know what your vote was which is absolutely not what you want.

Great news, Building on this idea. Is it also possible to calibrate an electric tongue to detect COVID-19 from a breath test? COVID-19 has a very specific smell I think.
Breath and saliva test would be quicker than PCR and would probably be important to protect the elderly as many who have COVID is asymptotic.
If you see my above comment on a "Right to Vote" token system, which would abstract away the identity of any given vote, there is a solution for this:

Because the Right to Vote tokens and the accounts that they are voted with by are anonymous, no third-party knows which vote belongs to which person (except for arbitrary public-key strings). However, if a voter wants to check that their vote was counted, they can easily see that the token sent from their account was used to vote for a certain party.

Now, if a second layer of privacy and abstraction is needed, zero-knowledge proofs can offer that. This, however, is a completely different ball game.

Am I the only one still against network-based, and to a lesser extent electronic-based, voting?

It's near impossible to rig or suppress a physical election without a lot of effort, but one person can DDoS an entire network and no one can vote and the whole election needs to be scrapped.

Not even the strongest cryptographic or software systems are free from exploits (especially over time) and there's no way to be sure the open source code for the system is the same code actually being served on the system.

A lot of software has died by its own hubris by assuming their systems are secure and then a single 17 year old on 4chan finds a bug and ruins it all. You can't afford for that to happen in an election. Forget hackers, some skilled social engineering gets you the votes of thousands, but you cannot do that in person so easily.

I'm sure the problems have been discussed extensively but other niche problems include lack of availability for rural areas (which has been a huge problem even with paper voting). I think the only reliable voting system at scale is in person.
Adsense has one small info button on the top right where you can click and report, however, for Youtube video ads, there's no visible way to report them as well, especially softcore porn. What's worse is that Youtube doesn't care whether the current audience is suitable or not as long as the ads were shown at the intended target ( ie gaming related video )

Surely it depends on how the decision to look both ways was made?

If you do it out of instinct and immediately think "oh yeah, forgot I only need to look one way" then it wasn't logical.

But if you know it's one way, yet think "I've witnessed bikes and even cars going the wrong way before, better check both directions" that seems like it could be a perfectly logical action.

The article is very good, and has some pretty obscure information, although those aircraft had no impact on WW2.

Note that Japan at the end of WW2 had a severe shortage of trained pilots (ie. none) and fuel.

Both Germany and Japan flew pilots until they died, so there were no experienced pilots to lead the next cohort.

The USA cycled experienced pilots back to the States as instructors, and the USA had an essentially unlimited candidate pool due to the overall level of education, health and farm equipment experience of that era. Japan in the pre-war years were only graduating around 100 pilots/year, so you could compare them to samurai or ninjas, not a broad force.

Giving a jet plane to a pilot with 40 hours of training is suicide, when for example a qualified Navy pilot needed 650+ hours.

Also, the B-29 was designed to fly high, but due to clouds and accuracy, was more successful at 5,000'. So any fighter plane could reach it, if pilots were available.

Ultimately the US military had to carpet bomb urban areas because people were building Zeroes literally at home, and Japan always had at least 10,000 available.

Another thing most people don't realize is that each country improved airplanes over time. So the Zero at the beginning of the war was not the same as the end, and even added modest armor. Both the US and Germany did a tremendous amount of work on wind tunnel testing, water injection and turbocharging that incrementally doubled engine performance.

Unlike the Axis, the US actually shipped dominant production airplanes in volume - P-38 (Kelly Johnson), B-29 and P-51.

The US P-38 won the Pacific War. It used two piston engines to obtain almost jet speeds, and had nose-mounted guns that projected a solid rod of steel through enemy planes. And the pilots were experienced bounty hunters from the Flying Tiger days with absolutely no hesitation. Charles Lindbergh came up with the LoP settings to double fuel efficiency, thus doubling range.

My apologies, but I was not trying to imply what you seem to have read. My point was -- how do we define any of these things? Neurodivergency is a scientific term, and it ios reasonably well defined -- but the other set of terms ("lazy", "stupid" etc) are labels that have been used to generalise some, for lack of better term, "traits" perceived -- by some people, in some historic periods -- as undesirable.

Or to put it another way: neurodiversity is a real thing; "laziness" and "stupidity" probably isn't.
That is brilliant. And you can even run it remotely (e.g. on a VM somewhere) and have your old vintage machine connect to it.
I asked for specific problems and you provided none other than a vague statement about politics. What _specific_ problems do you believe privatization would solve? Would delivery costs go down? Would speed increase? Why? Would a private corporation held to the same rules and standards (e.g. the same pension obligations, contracts, etc.) function better? Why? If what you're saying (as I believe) that the new corporation would run under different rules and standards, then why could those same changes not be made to the current system?

> I’d ask you how you’d even go about “changing the system” when you’re participating in that system with people that violently disagree with you.

What does this statement even mean? Literally every law passed, ever action taken by the government, etc. changes the current system. You're acting like "changing the system" is impossible when it's clearly not. Hell, _privatization_ is even a "change of the system". Just like partial privatization is. Just like changes the the postal system are.

Please help me understand your thinking.

I agree that this deal is good for Nvidia only and will hurt ARM CPU usage.

Nvidia is right now not in the same league as Intel/Apple, but having the most successful consumer and corporate GPU business along with control of Arm architecture CPUs puts them in the same league in my opinion.
That kind of dominance is never good for consumers.

Having worked for a company that was acquired and became a daughter company, such a setup is not enough of a firewall.

Slowly, the acquiring company will modify internal systems and internal processes until there is not much left of the original company. And many key employees will leave as they don't identify with the way things are being done.

I would like to think that acquisitions can be a good thing, but that's not the case in my experience.

This setup seems mostly pointless to me. Instead of publishing the product, why not just list the primes themselves? Both should be roughly equivalent and just publishing the list of primes would be simpler. And then once you do that, why even use prime numbers? Just assign unique tokens to voters.

I have always wondered why GitHub doesn't add such functionality, its a no-brainer how much it would help to have a way to right-click a function and see how has it changed through history, it could use an interface where you scroll through time (eg the most you scroll the older versions you see, until you reach when it was created); same thing for files.
That's fair enough, but this is why I'm not recommending this to someone who is not willing to spend half a minute searching for this one-liner. I'd also wager that the intersection of such people with the people who would even consider using Mutt in the first place is basically empty.

My point is that if you don't have those two constraints, it's trivial to do and it works perfectly.

You can read a some of my comments in this thread addressing various concerns. That said, I would still agree. At least for the next 5-10 years (until we have Starlink-level internet and advances in cryptography/UX), electronic voting systems are not feasible.

The nice thing about blockchains is you can avoid DDoS by only allowing people who are "authorized" to "talk to" the blockchain. This can be done by ensuring that "Right to Vote" tokens are only sent to those who would otherwise be participating in the election, and ensuring they can only submit one vote, and one transaction, by sending that token to a specific burn account. This way, with 300 million voters, you would have a cap of 300 million votes. No one else could "submit" a vote, because they wouldn't have permission to on the blockchain network.

This is how blockchains avoid DDoS attacks already, but open and public blockchains have the problem that anyone can buy their native currencies, and with enough money can spam the network. With a "permissioned" system for elections, this risk would be mitigated.

EDIT: I would appreciate if the downvoters engaged with me or explained their reason for downvoting.
It's certainly not a ridiculous argument. Anonymity is a cornerstone of fair voting systems, and any system that allows votes to be deanonymised increases the risk of coercion.

The same type of risk applies to postal voting, although with less severity, as with postal voting there is only one opportunity to check the coerced vote. Blockchain based votes can be checked after the fact.

Still, for this reason, postal voting is rare, and most countries that allow it do so only for citizens living abroad or who cannot travel to a polling station die to injury or illness.

Countries like the UK and Australia that allow any eligible voter to do so by mail are rare.

For international, they have GSP. It's different from Amazon in that sellers ship send items after completed order to eBay's shipping center, where it gets forwarded to the buyer. A nice thing for the buyer is that the predetermined price includes customs clearance fees.
It's not a UX issue, it's a logic issue. Voting has to count each vote exactly once, must be easily (!) verifiable at every step, and must be anonymous. Every blockchain systems violates at least one of those constrains, mostly the verifiable part.

Estonia is more or less unimportant on the global scale. There is very little incentive to manipulate an election from the outside.

It can be verified with a pencil and piece of paper and a calculator, so anybody can do it. As long as you agree about the number of sequential primes issued, you can calculate how many votes are still outstanding and keep voting booths open until 99% has voted. By issuing ranges of primes to states, you know where you have to keep booths open.
