Depends on what you mean by "should."

As far as legal, historical, and constitutional reasons go, the original idea of the US was sovereign states under a limited federal government. The federal government inherently had no power except that explicitly granted to it by the constitution. Several part of the constitution (most notably the commerce clause) have been stretched far beyond their original meaning and purpose to make the federal government far more powerful than the states.

As far as moral reasons go, I've personally always been of the opinion that government should be as close to the people as possible. National governments (and international ones like the UN and EU) make it almost impossible to truly hold elected officials accountable.
Could governments insist that PDF software they buy be screen-reader friendly? If this were rigorously done, you'd have all government documents be readable by default, and then anyone else who ran the same software commercially would, too.

You could also impose requirements on public companies to provide corporate documents in accessible formats- these sorts of documents are already regulated.

There's various levers that could be pulled, maybe those aren't the right ones. But you could do it.

True, but that's arguably just as difficult a change to make. Either getting enough State's to swap that the ones that don't are insignificant, or amend the Constitution. If it comes down to state-level changes, the threshold for that popular vote compact may be lower.
I think there's a quite strong argument that "I don't like it when the outcome doesn't favor me" is one of the worst available reasons to make major structural changes to a system of government. Major changes can easily be made for short-sighted, petty, power-seeking, partisan, or other unwise reasons. The US Constitution is difficult to change in no small part to guard against these.

Every time I see someone advocating for an Amendment on the basis that they think it will favor their brand of partisanship, I inevitably find myself thinking that they're exactly what the system was designed to stop.

Which is really deeply unfortunate on many levels. These are very often kind, compassionate, caring people who have correctly identified a very real problem in dire need of addressing.
Yep. Kari in Tamil also means meat, I'm not sure if it is of a specific animal (maybe mutton - which is goat meat in India), or a generic term. But AFAIK when used in that sense, it does not include chicken, fish, etc.

It's not obvious that deleting the electoral college would cause US presidential elections to have more representative results.

Firstly, US presidential election results are largely determined by turnout and switching from an electoral college to a single, winner-take-all bloc wouldn't change that underlying reality.

Secondly, even if you accept that "most votes wins" produces representative election results, it turns out that there are all kinds of wacky situations that can emerge in seemingly simple voting systems based on that idea.

Finally, there's a very strong argument to be made that "most votes wins" results in significant minorites being perenially underrepresented, increasingly ignored, and then ultimately disenfranchised.

The problem you have is that its likely, increasingly likely, that your CV is the exact document that will next be 'read' by computer rather than a human.

>Stop pushing your small government agenda on HN.

Then tell OP to keep their anti-electoral college agenda off of HN

The EC isn't inherently broken, most critiques of it miss the point that it was explicitly designed so that the states, and not the people, elect the president. Representatives were the only federal office holders intended to be directly elected by the people

We[1] did S20, here are a few thoughts

- Pro: The YC partners and staff went out of their way to make the remote experience as good as the in-person experience. We're in Singapore and the partners would make time whenever we needed it on our schedule/timezone - even though it was late/early for them

- Pro: The tooling is awesome. I didn't know this before the batch, but YC has a whole software team building tooling. They have some amazing systems in place, and as this article points out they are constantly improving it.

- Pro: Fundraising was better/easier (at least for us). This isn't particular to YC I guess, but because everything is on Zoom you can line up the meetings back-to-back, instead of commuting around the Bay instead of in-person meetings. This may be personal preference, but I find commuting exhausting and don't mind pitching over zoom.

- Pro: even though it's remote, you still get many of the things that make YC great - the brand, the network, the internal forums, the knowledge base, accelerator deals, advisors etc

- Con: Timezones. This is only relevant if you're living in a timezone that isn't handy to ET. Since we're in Singapore at the moment, most of the batch talks ("YC dinners") were midnight-2am. This is understandable - they chose a timezone which is best for the majority of the batch, and it would be tough to cater for everyone

- Con: It's harder to make connections with your batchmates.

Overall it's a strong recommendation from me - definitely worth doing.

The CBP tweet says they're seizing them for not being Apple.
The threshold for changing the constitution is exceptionally high, requiring 38 states. If the Electoral college gives more power to smaller states, why are they going to give that power up? Why is Wyoming and North/South Dakota going to give up their more valuable electoral votes to get rid off the electoral college? Also it benefits one party over another. Unless there is overwhelming broad appeal, this isn't going to happen. The only way it would change is if the party that benefits from this structure were to suddenly lose because of it. Why would that happen? I understand how pro-democracy argument, but the logistics required to make this happen is far removed.
>PDF is PostScript++, which means that is is a programming language.

The big change that came with PDF was removing the programming capabilities. A PDF file is like an unrolled version of the same PostScript file. There is still a residue of PostScript left but in no way can it be described as a programming language.
The word democracy doesn't appear anywhere in the US republic's constitution.
The USA was set up so that the electoral college had the final say over any populist choice of leadership, ie veto power. This is similar to the way the far more recent unelected EU commissioners are the senior decision and strategy makers.

Except it isn't a straightforward relationship between production and environmental degradation. The 'how' matters quite a bit namely in terms of efficiency. To pretend that producing a new genetic therapy is the same as grazing one million more goats is asinine.

The awkward truth is that we have always had an impact on others even back in ancient times wrongly considered isolated arcadias in tune with their environment. Mega-fauna didn't become extinct from running out of food but from humans running out of them as food, and the Sahara fertilizes the Amazon rain forests.

I just don't see how 'preventing such attacks is just to annoy jailbreakers' follows from any of this, though. Like, it's a narrative but the logic doesn't add up to me. There are really good reasons to also defend against complex attacks, attacks that require physical access, you name it. I don't want my iMessages leaking stuff because someone sent it a funny message, I also want my phone to remain reasonably secure if I hand it to a TSA agent.
How would they shuttle out that much traffic undetected?
I think we should split the executive into three. Have one person responsible for economic matter, one person for international affairs and the military, and one person for all other domestic policy. Have 6 year terms and stagger elections (like the Senate). That way, power is more divided and elections can be focused on policy. Each position would be less susceptible to a “cult of personality,” and it would be relatively clear what would qualify a person for the job (eg. economists & businesspeople for the first, military & diplomats for the second, lawyers & activists for the third).

For the legislature, I’d go for a lower house that would be a form of proportional representation. Each representative would have voting power in proportion to how many votes they receive. There could be thresholds and limits, and could allow people to split their votes for representatives (so you could get single issue candidates in).

The upper house wouldn’t vote for bills at all. They’d be regional, and regions could easily design themselves (so a city could form its region and expand with expanding suburbs, or split off from its suburbs). They’d basically be glorified lobbyists to promote local issues, or delay a bill if their region would be adversely affected by it. Regions aren’t as important as they used to be (Phoenix and Atlanta are politically pretty similar), but you still want to preserve their voice.
Yes, there are reasons for it.

There is a note at the end of the article:

"The proposed transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals for the U.K., China, the European Union and the United States. Completion of the transaction is expected to take place in approximately 18 months."

Hopefully, the EU does its job, laughs at this and tells Nvidia to either go home or forces them to FRAND licensing of ARM IP.
I do wonder whether the electoral college system somewhat insulates the US from election tampering or voter fraud. The current system disaggregates election certification to the state level, which is then made official by a discrete vote of the electoral college. For instance, if Donald Trump wants to claim that the election was rigged or tampered with, it's sort of moot as it's ultimately up to the state electors.

It feels like in the face of this, it's very hard for one candidate to dispute the election, as it's ultimately resolved by electoral vote. If we were to change the system to one based only a national first past the post poll, even one certified by vote totals from individual states, I wonder how you'd ensure an impartial certification of the final result.

Maine and Nebraska are the two states that don't do winner-take-all. Most states won't switch to proportional allocation because the party with the most political power in a state is likely to lose electoral college votes by switching.

> In forty-eight states and D.C., the winner of the plurality of the statewide vote receives all of that state's electors; in Maine and Nebraska, two electors are assigned in this manner and the remaining electors are allocated based on the plurality of votes in each congressional district.[1]

Why do you think pandemic response or wildfire are national in scope? Both can be handled at the state level. For example California, Oregon, and a Washington could perform necessary controlled burning (https://www.npr.org/2020/08/24/899422710/to-manage-wildfire-...) or harvest trees on a timely basis (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/19/us/california-today-100-m...), or at least stay in target with even their existing forest management target, which they haven’t (https://www.washingtonpolicy.org/publications/detail/to-stop...). Whatever states cannot accomplish on their own, they can certainly invest in - whether it is purchasing PPE or hiring loggers.
I made no mention of how likely it is. As far as I know, I’m the only one who wants to do it. Movements have to start somewhere though.
Coincidentally just watched Capital on NetFlix. It’s not a great watch, but a decent way to absorb an abridged version of the book. Pairs well with The Social Dilemma for a documentary night. Mark Blyth is an economist with plenty of content on YouTube that touches on similar topics.

For adjacent book recommendations I highly recommend Goliath by Matt Stoller on the subject of capital and monopoly power in the US over history.
Video calls are not remotely (no pun intended) the same as meeting face to face. In the office I can casually joke with the person sitting next to me, and it is usually visually evident when they are busy and I shouldn't bother them. If we both need a break, we can take a short walk, go for a lunch together or something. Video calls are limited, akward and uncomfortable compared to that. Video calls have their place but they are not the same thing.

I think the world should also start noting methane emissions . That gas is 400 times more potent than CO2 in trapping heat and is escaping rapidly from fracking sites everywhere . The United States is leading the pack in methane emissions but I think no central agency is tracking that.
Just out of layman's curiosity, what would be the problem or difficulty of somehow connecting a more compact type of radio telescope that detects some level of cosmic background radiation and hooking that up to a computer. Would this not be a guaranteed way of generating truly random numbers for any need flawlessly?

I know that serious radio telescopes cost way more than any random person could afford to pay but I've certainly seen plans for smaller DIY homemade models.
I just saw a Michael Moore-affiliated documentary (directed and hosted by some guy I've never seen before - Jeff Gibbs) . It might only be a bunch of hype. But, it drew attention to a huge source of renewable energy that I've never heard of before: biomass plants. One of the theses of this documentary is that biomass plants mainly run off of forested timber, so the use of these power plants (as a primary renewable energy resource in Germany and seemingly Michigan) is far from green/renewable.

Is this a "haters gonna hate" kind of situation or are biomass plants legitimately an evil in disguise?
I know people who worked (full time) for Oracle who didn't even need to go to the office, they just did stuff remotely from time to time (never more than one hour/day). They actually had a second full time job that they went to.

Looks like Texas has California beat on that metric: https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/public-scho...

One of the largest school districts, LA public schools, is notoriously bad.

Maybe, it's Texas throwing us scraps.
For people that complain a party won without the popular vote under the current rules, if you changed the rules for what defines winning, then that party would have campaigned in a completely different way

E.g. under the old rules, maybe the winning party purposely didn't campaign in a state they knew they couldn't win (a logical use of campaign funds), dragging down their countrywide vote. If the countrywide vote was important though, they wouldn't have campaigned like this.

You could argue that the current rules for winning don't accurately match the general will of the people but it's illogical to me to argue that the party that won under the current rules would have or should have lost if the rules changed.

Making it easier for people to vote and getting more people to vote seems like a no-brainier improvement though.
How large or little of boost does this give the likes of RISC-V?
I was interested to learn there's a sort of workaround to resolving the electoral college without a constitutional amendment, and it's some 70% of the way implemented:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Intersta...

Essentially, a block of states with sufficient electoral votes to determine the election legislates that they will cast their electoral votes in accordance with the national popular vote. It's interesting because it takes advantage of the large freedom states have to regulate their own electors, and substantially reduces the number of small states that have to get on board, as compared to an amendment.

Obviously somewhat more fragile though, as states could in principle leave the pact later on.

Like most things, it’s not what your education makes of you, but what you make of your education, specifically your ongoing self-education.
Serious answer: it is hardly a given that a "higher power" will favor your idea of "good" over your idea of "bad". Or even if it does, that it will always continue to do so and will always continue to enforce your preferences, even if your preferences someday change.

All that a higher power will enforce is uniformity, which could just as easily be (or later become) uniformly bad for you as uniformly good for you. Without the enforcement of uniformity, you might still have the option of choosing for yourself by moving elsewhere instead of having the choice imposed on you wherever you go.

Perhaps Apple has some sort of model where this is helping, but as it stands this makes the lives of security researchers and jailbreakers annoying and it does not close a hole that previous attacks were using (they are still using the same techniques!) Neither of your examples involve patching the kernel–the first is finding a bug in iMessage in userspace, and the second is handled by an entirely separate chip. My perspective is literally just "I want Apple to prevent exploits against my iPhone, and also not make jailbreaking worse for no reason" and this feature is "makes exploits no harder because no attacker cares that this exists" and "makes jailbreaking way more annoying". There's no balance between the two here, it's just negatives all around.
