> Maybe we don't need the Electoral College?

As someone who designs distributed systems for a living, I can say very confidently that the electorate system is a very good idea indeed.

Why risk the entire system if a single small part is corrupted?
Update: happy to say my statement was wrong, and that I had no intention of using HN’s proclivities against itself to keep the comment score above water.
Historically this just isn’t correct - for example in accounts of labour agitation and union formation in the 19th century it’s noted time and again that the organisers and ringleaders were often the cream of the workers in each industry despite the attempts of capital to put forward the impression you have. The very best of humanity can see further than their own little bubble.

All salaries should be public record? I get your point and why this argument is made but personally, no thanks. I don't want my personal financial information or income information to be shared with just anyone. No thanks.
And they pay less as a result. It's always been out there that MSFT, Apple & Amazon pay less than F, N & G unless your a special case. But you get paid more if your special case everywhere anyway.
I've given up finding a KVM that has this support for emulation. I've got a Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB and even for the better ConnectPRO KVMs, there are just too many USB endpoints.

I found that X-Keys make a range of keypads that are specifically designed for KVMs. I have it setup for KVM switching and the remaining keys have other macros. I'm glad I got it, but it's expensive compared to DIY kits.
it goes deeper than having laws against police abuse though.

As I understand it, the police investigates police abuses. I find that very shocking. My own country has lots of the same issues, but at least it is a separate branch of police which investigates abuse, not a colleague who will have to deal with the backlash if they report dirty acts.

Also DAs have to prosecute these crimes. The same DAs who have to work day to day with the same police department.

There are huge conflicts of interest in there. We need both to end qualified immunity (I did not go into this, but it has soo many issues as well) and have an organization dedicated to investigate police abuse. It needs both to have the authority to do so and to be entirely independent from the accused.

note : in the context here this is not just police corruption (even though that's something that should be taken seriously) but any kind of police abuse.
I like it! Thank you for sharing the code!

By the way, I have that same USB switch. I have tried a number of them, and that is the fastest I've found. The only major flaw is the status lights -- they are too hard to see from far away.

To fix that issue, I drilled a hole in the top of the case, over the lights, about the same size as the adjacent power button. I put a small piece of foam inside to separate the two lights, and covered it with tape. It works perfectly now and it's so much easier to see the status from a typical usage angle.

The whole modification took maybe 15 minutes, and I didn't even bother disassembling it first.
Also a thing: intentionally committing a crime for the sole purpose of getting healthcare in prison.
My point was that we all observe blatant corruption all the time. Very often, we don't even think about it until somebody calls it out.

Here's another example: When was the last time you saw a big shiny 4-door 4x4 with a company placard hauling a boat on a weekend? The company placard is for a construction company or something that is unrelated to towing boats on non-business days. Does it even register with you that this is probably committing some kind of tax or business impropriety? The truck is written off as a business expense, but its main purpose is personal. Do you even care? Does anybody care? Probably not too many who pass the boat doing 10 miles over the speed limit. Probably not the LEO who passes the people passing the boat. Probably not the guy at the marina who notices that the registration on the boat is expired, but sells beer to the 20ish-year-old kid driving the truck without ID.
All new skyscrapers will come only in high-growth places, not high-wealth places. IMHO that's because high-wealth places will settle down to generalized universal veto and stagnation. High-growth places haven't yet had a chance for established players to stall everything.

The reason why we won't have NYC or SF looking like Star Trek¹ is that the people are already wealthy and they chose to live here in the way it is so the people who would want Star Trek SF won't come to present-day SF to make it into Star Trek SF. Star Trek SF may be some unassuming town in America or (more likely) one of the emerging economies: maybe East Asia, but maybe if African nations capture their demographic dividend (unlikely IMHO) maybe them.

¹ I will have someone LongBets this on my behalf if someone wants to take the other side. San Francisco will never be like Star Trek's hyper-developed San Francisco. Willing to nail down specifics too.

EDIT: Maybe I should make an exception for high-wealth places with dictators/monarchs. There they can bypass any normal human process.

EDIT 2: No bets. Bets are off. Looks like I'd just lose money on this one because of NYC.
Voting gets the violators out of office (rarely works, but let's say it does) but it does not punish them for their explicit malicious violation of the law.
This is a good question. With a public company it's easy to treat vested stock comp as cash. I would not expect newly issued grants to be included if they depend on continued employment.

Are you suggesting we embrace police giving certain members of society more rights or ability to break the rules more than others?
Police corruption is a nebulous issue prone to outlier emotional anecdotes. It can never be “solved” and can be used, as seen in the parent post, to justify virtually any policy. It is incredibly difficult to accurately study and the data can be highly subjective.

M4A is very popular, with 69% support in the US. The reason it hasn’t been instituted is that the US is an oligarchy. As such, policy is formed according to the desires of the oligarchic class rather than broad public opinion, and they oppose M4A.

Regarding voters, an aside I find pretty rich is that among those 65 years and older, i.e., voters who currently enjoy Medicare coverage, and overwhelmingly regard the program positively, support for M4A is only 46%.

No they didn't, look up Shay's Rebellion and the Whiskey Rebellion as examples. The US government has never been successfully "held accountable" at gunpoint.
>Each of us can want / advocate for whatever changes each of us prefers in any given moment.

I understand that. I'm saying you need a reason to go through the effort of changing the constitution and a 240 year old tradition. This is why I asked what all that effort in getting rid of the pardon would do for the world. And it seems, the answer is not much if anything at all. So my argument is, maybe find something more worthwhile to concern yourself with?

> By default, GPG keys expire in a year.

This speaks to the article's complaint that GPG is usually the wrong tool for the job. For example if you just need to transfer a file securely (and have a fast, reliable internet connection on both ends and don't need to worry about active tracking of metadata), you can use Magic Wormhole (or a similar PAKE system) to do it. Imagine two scenarios: one with GPG and one with PAKE, and in both cases an adversary captures a ciphertext. With GPG if they can get your private key 6 months later, you're screwed. With PAKE the keys used to exchange the data are ephemeral, and so this isn't even a possibility.

> > Broken Authentication

> I've never heard of any of this.

I believe this is referring to authenticated encryption (AEAD), which is definitely valuable and GPG does not provide. AGE does.

Most of the other stuff you mention also falls under "wrong tool for the job". If you want a better argument, I'd talk about GPG having a web of trust system built in. On the other hand I think it's an open question whether this has ever brought real value to anyone. We have enough other secure messaging systems that it's no longer necessary for a single program to get there on its own. Usually you can count on some other mechanism to confirm your contact's identity.

For the camera example, I would rather do:

Camera camera = createCamera({"rotation": 90});

If you need another camera with different parameters then create a new one. You can build the options before the creating the cameras to avoid duplication.

Bitmap bitmap = createBitmap({data: data, samepleSize: 4});
ImageView imageView = createImageView(bitmap);

In the case where you are mutating image view, it's an optimization to reuse the same memory that could be handled by your language/framework so you don't have to think about it. For example, like with react it could create an internal representation of what is rendered and then diff it with the new rendering and reuse the internal representation of image view and mutate it for you so you don't have to think about doing the optimization yourself.

1. It's not. The work on "category-theoretic foundations," say HoTT, is (sociologically speaking) a highly niche topic. Most professional mathematicians who work on the foundations of mathematics do so in the framework of set theory.

2. ZFC is fully adequate for all the mathematics 99% of professional mathematicians do (and probably more than adequate in terms of strength). Also, all the mathematics 99% of mathematicians do is insensitive to foundational issues, so if you swapped ZFC for another axiomatization of similar strength, no one would notice.

3. I don't believe ZFC was the first to avoid the paradox, but yes, it does not suffer from Russell's Paradox.
> And while throwing Congress in jail seems unworkable, disqualifying members from reelection in egregious cases might be doable (though of course it would require a constitutional amendment).

I don't think so. Do you really want the executive and the courts be able to disqualify representatives, essentially for political reasons, because they proposed legislation or supported legislation that a president has signed into law?

> If anything, it does insure you against catastrophic loss. ACA took away maximum benefit amounts.

This statement is nominally true, but it doesn’t stop insurers from trying.

For "emergency"-type catastrophic loss, it's not always clear when your "emergency" ends. Once stabilized, if you’re in an out-of-network hospital, you may begin to accrue costs that are not going to be covered. And of course, sitting there in your out of network hospital room, with out of network tubes in your body keeping you alive, talking to out of network nurses and doctors, your first thought should not have to be “how do I get to an in-network facility?” And when you do finally get home, and get balanced billed, and every conversation with your insurer starts with you re-explaining your heart attack, or stroke, or pregnancy complication, and you are on month three of $75k bills from your out-of-network hospital (in month five it goes to collections!), it is small comfort to know that your insurer is technically in violation of the ACA, and that with the help of a lawyer and your state’s insurance commissioner to sort things out, you might get them to reimburse your $75k payment to your out-of-network hospital.

For medium- or longer-term illness, this is more true, but the onus is still on the patient to stay on top of shifting networks and shifting plans, shifting adjusters, all typically while sick.

The ACA plugged a bunch of holes in the previous disastrous patchwork, including absurdities like annual and lifetime limits, pre-existing condition exclusions, plan nonrenewal on illness, etc. Those were necessary bandaids, but there are still holes.

Ask me how I know.

Maybe people are favoriting Ask HN items because there are no external links.

I know that when there's a good HN discussion of a link, I usually bookmark the link itself, knowing that I can easily use that to look up HN discussions of it later. But if there is no external link, the only option is to bookmark the HN discussion itself.

Ask HN are just so hugely valuable. There are so many smart, experienced people here who are generous enough to post hard-won insights and information.
> The namespaced part of the import.

To me this is the primary benefit (although the file mapping is convenient).

As to python... it is impossibly more flexible than C. I have done silly stuff like reading all the files in a directory, then i imported all the python files I found.

I think C is not very deep, but it is very well known.
Apparently not explicitly mentioned: rsync over ssh.

Windows now comes with real sshd - Mac has it, and linux/bsd of course has it.

For small files (less than 10gb?) generally scp - but trying to get in the habit of using rsync. Generally scp isn't a very good idea.

For larger filesystems zfs send over ssh.

For streaming: dlna/upnp over zerotier vpn.

Shame Firefox send service imploded - for smaller files and where ssh isn't an option - it was a nice service. But a little too much hassle to self-host.

> If the Constitution says "Congress shall make no law..." and Congress still makes a law, what are you going to do, throw Congress in jail? That's nonsense.

Actually, it's nonsense to think anything to the contrary. Either our founding document matters as the backbone of our Laws or it doesn't. Your outlandish logic nullifies any power that the government may have over it's people. It nullifies the social contract.

> The Constitution, for the most part, just states norms and procedures that the the country and government have decided to follow voluntarily, not because some authority will punish it if it doesn't.

It's not a document of 'norms' and 'procedures'. It's a structure of how our Republic is built. Either we have a structure or we undermine it. That's really it, full stop. Amendments are apart of that structure to build or take away for what that structure is to be. Not 'ought to be' not 'suggested' not 'maybe if you'd like to follow', it's a mutually agreed upon Law.

Exactly this.

Furthermore, I would add the following considerations (in no particular order): documentation existence/quality, possible use of CI, reasonable coverage (if shown/known), use/inclusion in other projects, outward quality/appearance of code (can I read it, could I fix it, could I maintain it), licensing (clear/compatible) — outside of the repo: are there articles about it on the web, are there videos about it on Youtube.

It varies depending on what the repo is, and what I might intend to use it for, as to how in-depth I will actually go with each of these. But it's always worth a quick scan. There is much that can be inferred from examining such things.

A state can be both a de facto oligarchy and a flawed democracy. Thus, your comment does nothing to rebut the GP assertion.
Even middle schoolers are taught that there are "reliable sources" and "unreliable sources". Wikipedia (pretty good usually) is not considered a reliable source, let alone Twitter or Facebook.

Even a reliable source, like an academic article or a nationally syndicated newspaper, can be wrong, and are, frequently. Basic logic and rationality would be enough for people to realize that "I saw it on Facebook" has basically no informational value.

If anything, therefore it is the "reliable" sources which should be fact-checked, since they have greater credibility and influence, and because no one with any sense would believe something just because they saw it on Facebook and Twitter.

The fact that many people appear to do so says, to me, that when people are on Facebook and Twitter, they really don't care about the truth of the matter, they are looking for things to fit their confirmation bias. Therefore we would expect "fact checking" on such platforms to accomplish very little, except for irritating people who are semi-consciously already aware that they are consuming right-wing propaganda, and see left-leaning propaganda as informationally equivalent, just a product for a different audience.
