Meta: Recently on HN I've seen big discussions about voting systems. The commenters appear to be experts on the jargon and acronyms, which I've never heard before.

Does anyone know a good and concise introduction to the topic? Perhaps submit it for discussion as well?
It matters when the point of the idea is to ensure that the alignment of incentives between producers and consumers, which requires that producers be paid by how popular their content is. If you forgot the history, you were trying to cite libraries as an example of something following the model I described, which it does not[1], and now you're bringing up how low the tax revenue is, which is of dubious relevance.

How is that even remotely better? It doesn't address... any... of the behavior that led to this type of CoC.
Then use an unopinionated, hackable/pluggable static site generator like Jekyll (written in Ruby).

One thing that's nice about having dozens of actively-developed static site generators is that if you don't like one you'll probably like a different one.
To all of the people who hate CoCs: Just don't patronize any forum, software repo, or conference that has them. Not so easy to do, right? Same thing with people who get harassed all the time: It's not so easy for them to complain and have anyone take them seriously. Are CoCs perfect? Absolutely not. But allowing decades of harassment to continue unfettered until the most perfect solution is found, is not going to work, either. Of course, the people who hate CoCs don't think there have been decades of harassment. Or, if they even acknowledge harassment, they probably believe it is the victim's fault in the first place, or the victim's fault for not speaking up. I don't think minds are going to change either way. Just one more thing in our increasingly polarized world, that tech is actually making worse, not better.

Agreed, but I don't see it happening. There's very little chance of any conference organizer setting up some sort of quasi-legal institutions around CoCs.
In American English, all of those should be capitalized. I assume this was just an editing error.

But it's not though. They aren't apologizing for dragging him through the mud, they're apologizing that people got the impression that they had already rendered judgement on these complaints. They're still "under investigation."

It's really not an apology at all.

Who asked for this?
The context here is Federal elections for President and Congress--Maine's Federal Senate race is also via rank-choice, as mentioned in the second paragraph/sentence of the linked article. To another commenter's argument that switching to ranked-choice voting for those elections would require bipartisan support, you had retorted that

> Maine voters passed [ranked-choice voting] via ballot measure, no partisan politicking required. Likewise, the two states voting on it this year, Alaska and Massachusetts, are also doing so via ballot measure.

My point is that for Federal congressional elections the legal capacity to use voter initiatives to institute different voting rules, bypassing partisan state legislatures and Congress, will likely be extinguished in the coming years. The same is likely true for Presidential elections as the relevant constitutional language is nearly identical: "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors...."

My comment about Thomas' view (uncited--I could be misremembering the nuances) about who gets to pass laws controlling state legislature elections was merely to suggest how likely he would be to overturn Arizona; his opinion about the Constitution's and SCOTUS' role in dictating/safeguarding a very specific form of representative government extends beyond a simplistic plain text[1] interpretation of the aforementioned constitutional clauses.

[1] I feel like I should point out that no justice, conservative or otherwise, subscribes to a "plain text" philosophy of constitutional interpretation. Conservatives justices tend to espouse either a so-called Original Intent philosophy or Scalia's Original Meaning philosophy, where "Original Meaning" is not the same thing as "plain text". And justices of all political philosophies will make a "plain text" argument when it suits their interpretation. All things being equal (though they rarely are), everybody tends to agree a plain text defense is the best defense.
I am deaf too and I echo the sentiments of the article. I’ve found Microsoft teams vital for me as it has auto captions enabled. Zoom doesn’t have this, so we have shifted away from using zoom completely.

Back in pre covid times, customer calls were done in a room over a conference speaker phone. I would be totally lost and would need to rely on my colleagues to help.

With Microsoft teams, I can run customer calls myself, relying on the captions (and the patience of the customer).

Massive thanks to Microsoft for spearheading accessibility. I hope you guys see this.
I'm not familiar with pg, but the choice of case sensitivity is a fundamental property of collations in other DBMSes like MSSQL. Web search does make it look like pg only got case-insenstivity-via-collation in v12 (2019), and also requires you to make your own collation with case-insensitivity since it doesn't have any built-in ones with it.

The Tyranny of Structurelessness is an HN perennial, but I think you would do well to read it if you haven't before: https://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htm

CoCs are problematic like much of lived human experience, but they're better than a structureless void that allows people to discriminate without a formal process that makes sure they can be held to account.

I think the crux of the issue is that the elections are held by each state, and each state can't enumerate its own eligible voters due to the lack of a 100% comprehensive ID system. Think of European Parliament elections, but in this case there is no concept of "home country". However, I certainly do agree it's not ideal.

If you're caching partials for example, you need to make sure you provide correct caching keys so are you sure it wasn't misuse?
Ask HN: Seriously, how do we stop Covid?
The last few weeks have been very disheartening as the disease is spreading more and more rapidly, to the point where any hopes of "getting back to normal" are feeling quite far out of reach.

How the hell do we actually/pragmatically solve this thing? Is a widely accessible vaccine the only option? How long will that take?
It is happening before our eyes! The organizers have admitted they made mistakes and are working on improvements. I agree a full-on court system would be ridiculous, but what that means is that the CoC needs to better thought out to reduce ambiguity.
Future of Data Science
hi guys,

in a world day by day more interconnected and in which tech will domain, I'm trying to figure out what will be the sectors in the future that will need most of the data science knowledge.

I know that media, social networks, e-commerce are the main milestone, but I'm trying to imagine also other sectors. For example: in a world more tech-dependent i think cybersecurity will need to grow at the same rate in order to prevent attacks and similar stuff.

So, I'm trying to understand in which sector (excluding the main sector written above) will be valuable to spend time, to study, in order to be more ready for the next future.

In my opinion innovation in sector like e-commerce is "finished" (given that society (like amazon) cannot go too much over a more sophisticated recommendation system).

So, what do you think will be the sectors most interesting "data science" speaking? cybersecurity? blockchain?

In which one will be better to spend time in order to have a job in it?

thanks all
This isn't an apology, this is damage control.

The tone is all wrong. You don't "issue a public apology" you say "We apologize for ... " or "We are sorry for ...".
This is just due to lack of feedback. If I get sent a zoom invite and there isn't a clear reason I know of to accept , I always ask in chat if a meeting is necessary.

although well-meaning, I believe this is a shallow and Anglo-centric interpretation of history. Slaving was practiced across the world, and is generally regarded as "barbaric" because, well, it is. BUT the "West" did NOT make African Slavery.. Its incomplete to say that, and points fingers at modern people in the USA. I cannot start to give examples without a complete treatment due to the seriously toxic nature of this subject. But since I personally am descended from people in the USA that opposed slavery for the last 300 years AT LEAST, in EVERY FORM, I am sensitive, and strongly opposed, to a "guilt by association" on this topic.
gRPC requires HTTP/2 while many load balancers only support HTTP/1 on the backend.
This comes down to language, specifically what differs an opinion from a belief. Which is quite complex and I cannot fully wrap my head around it. But here's my take nonetheless.

In this case, placing the "I think" would make it a belief. This could also make a statement an opinion, but from what I understand, beliefs have a non-zero chance of being proven or disproven, whereas opinions cannot be proven.

"I think gentleman11 is nice username" is a bit different than "I think gentleman11 is a man". Something being "nice" is a bit harder to prove, and possibly impossible without additional context. Thus, it is an opinion. Someone being an man, cheater, alcoholic, etc have the ability to be proven, so it's not as much an opinion as a belief.

I'm not a linguist, but I'd be interested in what language specialists have to say on this.
I am not a huge fan of a lot of Microsoft products, but I have been very pleasantly surprised by the Teams desktop app for video calls.

Perhaps. I can't really speak to his career before he came to UT Austin in 1984, he was already very famous (Bjarne Stroustroup at Texas A&M/Columbia or Brian Kernighan at Princeton famous); if I remember, his chair was created for him as a full professor and without many of the usual duties of a professor. (One of his stipulations was that he not be made Chairman of the department.)

According to the article, as a young researcher, he was

* A "programmer" (something like a research assistant, perhaps?) at the Mathematisch Centrum (Mathematical Centre) in Amsterdam.

* Professor in the mathematics department of the Eindhoven University of Technology from 1962-1973. (As I understand, the "external funding" thing is less of a problem in mathematics. Also, I have no idea how tenure works there.)

* Finally, research fellow at the Burroughs Corporation.

It's true, he didn't have many direct PhD students (two?!), but his collaborations were many. (I don't know if the Tuesday Morning Group at UT is still active,[1] but it was rather well known and its members produced a great deal of what is now "theoretical computer science".)

If you're trying to compare Dijkstra to J. Random Young Researcher, J's gonna have a hard time any way you look at it.

[1] UT no longer requires automata theory or formal logic for CS undergraduates. They're dead to me.
I believe that the data-collection should be publicly escrowed for safety-critical research such as for autonomous vehicles, therapeutics, and so on.

It's too easy for employees to subtly edit or shape data to please their managers / directors / shareholders. It can be as subtle as "cleaning" the data by removing records with "noisy" or "unreliable" data, or "correcting" outliers.

In the Waymo case, I consider self-disclosure to be self-serving.
Bank accounts already have contracts and terms regulated for the actual legal obligations.

We "need" nothing else for shouts to the void as nobody gives enough of a shit to set up and use more guaranteed terms and any arguments are just as timely, sane, and useful as saying we need to make blood oaths legally binding and have notaries for them. No we don't we really don't.
> Having rules that are written down and apply to everyone is a liberal value

A Liberal is anti-arbitrary power. In the context of formal governments and legal systems, that includes having written laws.

I would argue having a vague CoC which is designed to be interpreted and applied arbitrarily by power tripping bureaucrats actually increases arbitrary power.

Through the CoC, the committee here was empowered to persecute any action they didn't like. That's the opposite of Liberalism.

This must be handled by the city or county level as where I live in California there's usually (always?) a little "4 way" sign under the stop sign when it's 4 way.

Either way, this should be made consistent across the state and all of them definitely should have it added if they don't.

I recommend immediately establishing a Code of Conduct Enforcement Team Code of Conduct. And since any CoC is meaningless when not enforced, there needs to be a Code of Conduct Enforcement Team Code of Conduct Enforcement Team.
Neither of us denied any of that.

OP just said that conservative predictions are better than aggressive ones, as they're more likely to come true and thus build trust.
This seems pretty cool -- but one issue to me is that (similar to the chasm that exists in low-code app building once the magic doesn't suit you) that if I already have the skills to create a mobile app that integrates tensorflow, I probably also have the skills to train my models. It would be cool if feature-extraction (image pre-processing and first network layer(s)) could run on the front-end, and the rest of the network/search on the back-end, similar to how distributed speech recognition works. Then I could use a canned lib on the device that integrates w/the camera, and get my results via a websocket. (Of course, I could still run everything on the client still as well.)

The statement "there is no tactical incentive for a voter withhold or falsify their second choice" says nothing about a voter falsifying their first choice, which is exactly where IRV broke down in that election. If Republican voters who preferred the Democrat to the Progressive candidate had falsely specified the Democrat as their first choice, they could have changed the election outcome in favor of a candidate they would have preferred over the winner that IRV elected.

I don't think anyone would argue that first-past-the-post would have produced a better candidate in this election than RCV did.

I don't think so either, but I also think that's a straw man argument. The Condorcet winner would've been the Democrat. IRV elected the Progressive, but according to that same Wiki page FPTP would have likely elected the Republican, whereas the Democrat would have likely won under systems like approval or score.

2016 wasn't a black swan event. It was a polling error, which do happen, if rarely. It was not unforseeable, and 538 included a probability of that happening which is why they gave Trump higher chances than most others did.

And 538 does do backtesting on elections back to 1972. That's not particularly trustworthy since it invites over-fitting, but internally they do have a little bit more than N=3 to work from.

> Csv is not standardized and the quoting rules are weird (and not standardized)

There is almost always some normalisation ("scrubbing") needed to prep a CSV. But CSV is viable and awk can rip through massive amounts of data. It is a brilliant and powerful tool.

> It's small enough to fit in your brain, unlike Perl

Perl is also brilliant and powerful. Setting aside the bigotry of people who dislike sigils and using braces for scope, many people who fail to learn Perl well have not tried to use Perl-OOP objects as primitives. Once you do this, Perl's versatility and speed are hard to beat.
What I find positive in this outcome is that Jeremy Howard challenged the organisation to live up to their principles, and they are apparently going to do so. Without the CoC, this would not have been such a clear-cut issue.

For those who would do away with CoCs entirely, I suggest you read the HN perennial The Tyrrany Of Structurelessness: https://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htm

CoCs are complex in many ways, but it's much better to have a formal process that allows people to be held to account rather than a structureless void which enables people to discriminate without the ability to challenge them to something they've explicitly signed up to.
What fascinates me is that all companies and organisations (at a certain scale) will have to decide a governance structure that is better than - that guy is in charge.

Co-ops are one step forward but that was basically a century ago and stopped. What's the 21 C answer?
I'm not sure what the ideal % of people should actually start a company is. It certainly isn't for everyone. Perhaps a helpful topic would be "Should I actually be a founder?" or "Should I start a venture scale company or a lifestyle business?". I think many more people would be happy with the consistency and regularity of a small lifestyle business than pursing an opportunity that's billion or bust.
