This claim started as a tweet by Donal Trump Junior but can be easily fact checked by looking up the voter count for 2020 and the voting population of Wisconsin (3.2M against 4.5M), or in a desperate time a quick Google.

Plenty of states already count ballots early without leaks. If that can’t be trusted, can any aspect of the process?

Even if a minority of the vote was known, how different would that be from public polling that also represent a slice of the electorate (which also is likely not 100% representative of the actual results.)

That is false. Washington and Utah also vote primarily by mail and both allow ballots to be received after the election.

Washington allows ballots to be postmarked the day of the election:

Utah allows ballots to be postmarked the day before the election, so long as they are received before noon of the day of the county canvass (generally, the day after the election but as late as ten days after the election, depending on the county). https://www.vote.org/utah/

If you look at RCP's polling average for Clinton in 2016, she outperformed that average for just about every race.

But, what the pollsters got crazy wrong, was Trumps polling numbers, by wide margins, far outside the margin of error.

I think they got it wrong this time too, and I think it all comes down to their methodology for actually getting a random sample of voters. Many polls are still married to live interviews and also to landline contact, and also tied to live interview polling - I think there is a partisan slant that they are not accounting for that includes a "propensity to answer a polling survey in the first place"
I think the main problem is that some forecasts gave an overwhelming amount of “hope” for certain races. This costs real money, as political operatives make decisions on where to spend money based on these forecasts. The closer a race is, the more likely more money will help shift the race.

In a sense, this was a bit of a worst-case scenario for the GOP. Trump is out of office and wounded, but not destroyed and so able to try to play kingmaker from the sidelines. A large, centrist portion of the GOP would probably have liked to see the end of Trump, but now they are going to have to wait for his conviction and imprisonment to finally be rid of him. Some will try to claim the mantle of racist-in-chief but Trump is a jealous god and will now allow another to steal focus from him, so I expect some rather petty knife-fights for a year or two while Trump goes through a few state trials but eventually some minimum security prison will finally take the phone out of his tiny hands (or at least force him to hoop it if he wants to tweet...)

Nah, Biden said it himself in the last presidential debate:

One could argue the strategic mistakes of the Clinton campaign (ignoring the rust belt) and near fatal mistakes of the Biden campaign (which looks to be on issues swinging voters in battleground states) were driven by bad polling.

When I hear the conversation about "the polls were wrong" it's never been "the predictions were outside the error margin" so much as "voter sentiment was not accurately measured in regions where voters were most likely to flip and why they would do so."

>It's funny. For all the useless Java "factory" patterns, the one thing there ISN'T a factory for - Futures[...].
>It's a bit of a puzzle to me why this isn't just standardized.

It kind of is. A `FutureFactory` it's pretty much `IO` (as in, Haskell's IO).

It just so happens that a lot of implementations don't want you to call `unsafeRun` (so that `unsafeRun` in only called at the edge of the world) and some implemetations don't like, but nothing stops you from having a `unsafeRunToFuture` that returns a `Future`. This is actually pretty common in Scala.

Some examples:

- Cats-effect: https://typelevel.org/cats-effect/datatypes/io.html#unsafeto...

- ZIO: https://javadoc.io/doc/dev.zio/zio_2.12/latest/zio/Runtime.h...

- Monix: https://monix.io/api/current/monix/eval/Task.html#runToFutur...

I guess that this is not very standardized in OOP languages because they lack some of the ergonomics to use such factories (namely, do-notation).

"because of something it disagreed with" is a mischaracterization of "because of provable falsehoods dangerous to public safety, and democracy".

A President with a massive angry following with guns, tweeting falsehoods about the lack of integrity of the electoral process (And I don't mean the vague things, I mean the explicitly false things like his party not having access to view vote count processes, which they do) is about as close as you can get to yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theater on the internet.

Not only is it Twitter's prerogative to act accordingly, I'd go further and say it is their ethical duty.

And yes, if Biden did the equivalent "from the other side", Twitter would act in exactly the same way.
It is very strange how he, a master manipulator, missed the obvious danger Covid could cause to his presidency. I mean, really?

It's probably true that public use of such technology can be dated to LXC. But cgroups, and the initial (private) userspace implementations, definitely come from Google.

There were many efforts to get some kind of container technology into Linux, from the early 2000s (and probably earlier). VServer, OpenVZ, etc, were all trying to support full server virtualization.

Cgroups was different from most of them in that it wasn't trying to present a virtual server environment, just facilitate resource control. At Google, all the jobs we ran on Borg (the internal system that later inspired Kubernetes) knew that they were in a shared environment, so there was much less need to fake a private virtual environment. The low-level libraries linked into all Google binaries did a lot of coordination with Borg to make the sharing fairly painless. But we were trying to run tens of jobs on each of our increasingly-larger machines, and some of the batch jobs would inevitably end up hogging resources, which would hurt the important latency-sensitive jobs. CPU and memory isolation were the main things that we cared about, with network/disk as secondary elements.

For a while (in 2005-2007) in Borg we approximated this by using the kernel's "fake NUMA" support (originally intended for testing the NUMA code) to break up the system into a bunch of fake NUMA nodes, and using cpusets to reserve CPUs and memory chunks to important jobs. It was pretty ugly and rather coarse-grained, but it worked rather well and was the first widespread (running on millions of Google Linux servers) userspace system for controlling a cgroups-like system.

Essentially, cgroups piggy-backed on to the existing cpusets mechanism/API which had already been accepted into the kernel, and expanded it into a more generic way of creating a hierarchy of groups and mapping a process to a group. This was a lot simpler to get accepted than an entire virtualization system. Given that mapping, making other resource scheduling be group-aware rather than just process-aware was much more straightforward. The same userspace support in Borg that had been used for controlling cpusets worked pretty much as-is with cgroups, since the basic API was the same (just more resources were supported).
It is one of the big mistakes of US politics that the sides are treated as if they are equally compromised. It is really a strawman argument without any merit.
>First at this point I don't trust many of the groups and institutions

The Trump Administration itself couldn't find evidence of widespread voter fraud.[1]

>Also I don't know anyone that is claiming "widespread" voter fraud, no one believes there was "widespread" voter fraud in this election it was targeted specific voter fraud at particular places and counties is the contention. Everyone knew going into this what states needed to be won for biden to win. Many of these states were decided by less than 10,000 votes.

The 2016 election was one of the closest elections we have ever had and it still would have required roughly 100k votes changed to change the result. This election is even less close. Biden is winning PA by 30k, MI by 150k, and WI by 20k. That alone wins it. You can ignore the close states like GA, NV, or AZ and Biden still wins. This would have needed widespread fraud in order to switch a true Trump win to a Biden win.

>The fact of the matter is that the more room for error in the voting process the less likely people are to trust the outcome.

This flows the other direction too. Voting being suppressed makes people trust the outcome less too. How can an election have integrity if people who want to vote can't? If that is the outcome of strict voting laws, shouldn't we require some higher level of evidence of voter fraud in order to justify this cost of people losing their vote?

Please give us an example of a Tweet from Trump that was removed and that was just remotely debatable.
I think it's more fundamental than numeracy. If the polls suggest there is a 2/3 probability you are going to win an election, but you lose, does that mean the polls were wrong? What if the probability was 9/10?

I think the problem is trying to make sense of outliers and uncertainty, and that, in an election with 150M+ variables, you will end up with a result that isn't quite what anyone predicted. In other words: it's not numeracy, it's epistemology.
I use Samsung Pro Endurance microSD cards [1] in most of my Raspberry Pi 4s. My RPi devices don't see the wear and tear of my main computers, so I can't speak with authority on the matter of durability. But anecdotally, I have had none of the microSDs fail or show any evidence of degradation.

Theoretically the Pro Endurance cards are slower than other Samsung SD cards. But in my usage, I've not noticed a difference in I/O versus the one Raspberry Pi 4 that I've got with a "regular" microSD card.

My issue with polling is that many races were well beyond the margin of error. The Senate polling in particular was bad this year.

Sara Gideon was favored to win the Maine race in the polling, because there hadn't been a single poll showing Collins in the lead since July. She lost her race by 9 points.

It's also strange to see the region makes a difference in the poll error. The polls in Minnesota were basically spot-on, but in Wisconsin (demographically very similar), the polling average was Biden +8, with one ABC news poll showing him +17, the kind of outlier result you'd expect with a +8 average. He's gonna win there by ~1 percentage point.

There's something wrong with how a lot of these pollsters determine samples, or how they judge someone's likeliness to vote.

> Traditional antidepressants take days or weeks to have an effect, and the effect is very different from psilocybin.

Which is fine. Double-blind is great when you can pull it off, but it's fallacious to dismiss control groups just because they can't be perfectly blinded.

Active control groups and non-blinded studies are still used frequently in these situations. There's no excuse for discarding control groups completely.
You could also fit the same data with "people polled thought they could vote until their vote was preferentially suppressed". So the polls will never match outcomes. And that it happened in the same direction two cycles in a row leads credence.

“Widespread” and “nearly every” are notable wiggle words. In a tight election in a few states swung by a few counties, “widespread” has never been a requirement.

Anyone can be forgiven for doubting the integrity of our election process in the face of worrying anecdote. The answer isn’t to call for blind faith by ignoring the red flags, but to shore up the process and improve its systemic integrity.

What would your standard be if this concerned the finances of your own company? You wouldn’t be telling the organization to not worry and ignore warning signs.

Some states eliminated witness signature requirements on absentee ballots; some states allowed new votes with no postmark up to a week after the election; videos showing the eviction of poll watchers, political placards posted at the entry of polling places; a “reporting error” with an extra zero corrected only after being called on it, software “glitches” resulting in 3000-vote over-count in one county corrected only after being challenged; a box of ballots produced after Election Day, 100% of whose contents went to one candidate; counting paused in the middle of the night. None of it helped by being refereed by a media plurality that clearly wanted a specific outcome all year.

There’s enough widespread questionable anecdote to warrant a top to bottom audit, which nobody can afford.

Every time the media (trusted by the public less than Catholic priests and politicians, btw) says there’s “no evidence of widespread fraud” in the face of this, it doesn’t help - it only raises another red flag.

And this isn’t just the Presidential election, btw.

That we are incapable of building and executing a process with inherent integrity is getting increasingly risky/dangerous.
They're going to get figuratively laughed out of court like have been so far. The handful of cases they have won are so non-controversial, they could have been equally brought by the Biden campaign, eg: observer distance in PA. These aren't serious people. They never have been, they never will be.
