Based on my long experience in California, I have no idea what you could be referring to. I am given ballot(s) in an opaque folder, mark my choices in a booth enclosed on three sides, and feed the ballots into the machine myself. There's no way for a poll worker to observe me making the choices, or the marked ballot. I suppose in theory they could use the order in which people enter to locate a ballot after the fact, but that would involve riffling through a stack of ballots!

Voting is county by county, and it is run by human beings that make mistakes, but in the dozens of times I have voted the secrecy of my ballot has been entirely up to me. Party affiliation is not a secret, true, it is a public record. But the actual Please provide a lot more context than "how easy it can be" or please delete your post.
I think the passenger miles statistic is baloney (calculated by multiplying the number of passengers by the number of miles travelled), and I'm a bit sick of seeing it trumpeted everywhere to claim flying is vastly safer than driving. The collective risk of everyone on board the plane is meaningless to calculating risk to your personal safety. At least for me, the fatality rate per journey, per hour of travel, or at the very least per mile I myself am travelling, is far more relevant. According to one source, flying is actually three times deadlier per journey than driving (fun fact, this is the metric aviation industry insurance companies use), but about four times safer per hour travelled. So flying certainly can be safer than driving in the right context, but these crazy "100x safer than driving" stats are kinda useless and take a lot of "creativity" for airlines to arrive at.

> Anyway, just to clear your thinking,

Don't you think that this comes across as quite arrogant?

I wrote quite clearly that most people interested in free-speech aren't purists and might expect "limits to free speech" in certain circumstances, but that we'd like to discuss what this means with respect to the actual goal of a relatively level playing field for discussion.

You tell me that you've not strawmanned anybody, but within your first comment you wrote that "if you're a free speech purist you are OK with [Twitter] responding to free speech with their own free speech". This suggests that free speech is merely about being able to speak and that advocates would be happy for their speech to be stymied in other ways - and, in fact, pleased when all their speech has mandatory notices about its invalidity. Clearly this is not what free-speech advocates believe, so it certainly is straw-manning or as another put "some gymnastics".

Apart from that, the rest of what you said is relatively coherent and you did at least try to unpack the platform as-is.

It is true that the President of the United States is also an authority. However, are they an authority of Twitter? Well, they can't ban people or add editorial notes below the tweets of their opponents so perhaps not.

You also mention that "Trump is given special privileges on Twitter, and is exempt from virtually all the normal TOS", so shouldn't he be held to the same standard as everyone else? Well, yes. Why not?

As for whether new ways of adding editorial comment below people's tweets are "special abilities" I think so (because normal users can't do this).

However, I agree that Twitter was never "a free speech platform" and that by design it always amplified particular voices via crowd-sourcing. But, there is a difference between crowd-sourced amplification and centralised editorial oversight/amplification. While Twitter has "never been even remotely about [free speech]" the new features are clearly changing what it is from a crowd-sourced amplification platform to a platform with significant editorial oversight.

Is it better for there to be a centralised bias for or against different messages or identities or is it better for the bias to be crowd-sourced? Is the editorial oversight US-centric only? Who gets this power (e.g. governments, institutions, HR, etc)? When should there be limits to free speech? When some speech needs to be inhibited should this be done in the open or behind closed doors? Should infractions be explained? Does anybody get to break the rules?

I and many others would like if these questions could be answered by the big social networks. It's annoying when people simplify all of this into some primitive desire for everybody to be able to say whatever and have their voice amplified by a platform, since that is not what I am saying.

Apple developers are a captive audience, they will pay their annual hundred bucks and develop for iShiny no matter how crappy the docs are. There are just too many rich users and clueless PHBs demanding apple development to miss out. If those reasons went missing and Apple really had to compete for developer mindshare, docs would improve.

Which leads to the solution: Quote a lot more for Apple development or don't develop for Apple, and as soon as the stream of app updates and releases dries up, Apple might react. But not before.

I think this sentiment is primarily exacerbated when people live in lower CoL areas. Folks routinely balk at typical mid-level comp of ~$500k even here on HN so it doesn't surprise me that the knee-jerk reaction is that ~$4M is out of reach.

Frankly, the software industry has an incredibly low barrier to entry compared to other high paying fields (medicine, law). Sure, not everyone will reach some "distinguished engineer" level but you don't really need to in order to live a life of abundance. Nowadays, if you grind enough leetcode you can land something to the tune of $250-300k (in Seattle/Bay Area). Once you factor in stock appreciation and job hopping every 3 years, comp only goes up. I don't make the rules; it is what it is.
Well, $450,000 a year doesn't get you far in the bay area.
He mentions his VCs have always been available and engaged, so I think it's reasonable that they knew he would be open and public about the deal; he always has in the past.

It's not just party affiliation (which is public I think in at least most states) but also the procedures in place for discarding incorrectly filled ballots. Poll workers need to recover them and mark them as voided. It is not terrible, but it has a lower threshold of security than other electoral systems I am familiar with.

Dropping a mail-in ballot in person seemed to have no plausible subreptitious election integrity attack I could think of though.
A right is always obtained (sometimes with force), not given. Whether it is a basic one depends on how many people wants to obtain it. If few cares about it, then it's a luxury.

I sometimes blame the compiler. Having said this, I do occasionally find bugs ib g++ and clang (most often, it does not behave like it should - copy g++ behavior).
If the colors/hat had become a signalling mechanism by the political movement and were being used to make a political statement, I would say wearing them would be in bad taste. Especially if a member of law enforcement or the military was doing it.
I think you are getting the primary round of elections confused with the general election itself. Your local board of elections probably has sample ballots that you can take a look at online if you like, and that might clarify some of the confusion.

While you can register as a member of one particular party in order to vote in that party's primary election, you certainly don't have to, and it has nothing to do with how you vote in the general election. In some states, even if you are "unaffiliated" you can participate in one party's primary in that state as well.
I can relate, and I don't think there's a way around learning Git properly. Here's a quote from a post of mine:

> Version control is an underrated skill. Most software engineers use it daily, and yet, many are not willing to invest more than necessary to learn it. That’s fine, but knowing more than commit/push/pull will at least make you more efficient. It will also help you solve issues you (and your colleagues) may encounter.

I've had this issue a lot in the past, but mostly at work. So yes, I will spend the time to help my colleague debugging their issue. Eventually, they will get fewer issues, but the time I have to spend for their "learning by doing" would have been better invested in learning Git fundamentals.

I've also had some open source contributions during Hacktoberfest, and I went with the easy way out of doing the clean-up work myself. But as you've stated, people might not learn from this, so that's not optimal.
> In the 20th century warfare evolved trench warfare to asymmetrical war.

I think you mean "back to asymmetric war" which appears to have been the norm through history, even taking in the extensive literature of set-piece battles. In fact the American revolution was primarily an asymmetric conflict.

(Otherwise I agree with your comment)

These days when Google itself doesn't even support a phone for longer than 3 years, you get to think phones are disposable assets and not something you're supposed to love keeping like in the old days hardware.

This. The side effect is OP is likely humble which is a great side effect. But I’d say it should stop there and not extend into thinking others are better than yourself. A lot of $$$ is people making different decisions and those decisions end up on a bell curve of chance. Some end up making peanuts, a lot make something ok, and some others make millions. I’d say there’s a big fallacy with equating “I got a good dice roll on joining the right startup” with “I am a higher class of individual”.

For all the hate it gets, I think the way PHP does their documentation is ideal. Easy to search for what you need, it recommends other, similar classes/functions, gives a good description of the inputs and what something is expected to return. Then, in addition to that, there's the user-supplied examples and commentary to help further clarify things. I really like the model they went with.
I loved Samsung laser printers mostly because they can reliably print on heavier stock than any other printer I have tried. They also were able to print peel-and-stick forms without melting the adhesive.

And then, about a year ago, their OEM toner cartridges suddenly became almost impossible to find and more expensive than the printer itself and the cheaper, third-party cartridges just don't work well at all. So, I had to reluctantly abandon Samsung. I am still looking for a good replacement.

WASM is their weaker part. On the flip-side the WASM takeup is also rather modest so the net loss is not that big.

Eventually they might come up with a solution to get their huge WASM files down to bearable size. Sure its because they have to ship the bigger part of their VM with it.

I can't say for HN, but the general answer is yes. Social systems tend to produce a lot of novel behavior, with plenty of surprising second- and third-order effects. Dealing with jerks, trolls, griefers, etc, is an arms race; they're always looking for new ways to mess things up. And the tools in this space are constantly evolving, too; for example, there's a lot of interesting ML work being done for automated content tagging.
Don't print so damn much. Problem solved.

The printer companies are milking the vestigial cohort of people that just can't not use masses of paper for everything. I struggle to find a lot of sympathy for their self inflicted plight, and I'd really like to quit hearing about it.
SwiftUI is not great in any sense, other than looking great to people who've never written non-trivial software. When your criteria for 'great' is whatever 'content creators', 'software journalists' (email newsletter 'creators') and apple's marketing team pump out this week, 'great' is anything a marketing firm puts dollars behind that seems 'cool' and 'fresh' and 'hip', or is it 'dope' this week?

It is quintessential form over substance - like Apple's fucking 'butterfly' keyboards.

SwiftUI is butterfly keyboards of software - wait until you want to write non-toy code with it, you'll be needing 'hack #235 by content creator #563' to make trivial features possible.

>I believe technically if they followed the runaway trim in memory checklist the system would have been disabled? This is how the pilot of the Lion Air flight the day before prevented disaster.

Yes, but the failure they experienced feels absolutely nothing like runaway trim. It's great that some pilots were able to troubleshoot the failure in time, but that's not something you can really expect from everyone. Adequate training may well have prevented the mishaps, but the airplane as a system was still poorly designed.

The format is documented and there are open source "emulators", as well as (many) other Fantasy consoles like Tic-80 and Quadplay that are also open source. Even if you don't want to use Pico-8 for moral reasons, if you have an interest in fantasy consoles, there are many FOSS options. It appears like you aren't really trying, and just complaining about Pico-8. I'm sure you had no problem finding an open source text editor, open source OS, open source compiler, etc. Do some research, or alternatively admit you actually don't care about fantasy consoles or game development, and are here to complain about random software being closed source.

It's not common for investors to write off $800k out of good will (doesn't seem like something in the best interest of their LPs).

Edit:

> It’s a really exciting day here at Baremetrics! I’m stoked to announce that General Catalyst has invested $500,000 in Baremetrics, as part of a new fund they’ve created for businesses on Stripe.

Turns out there is more to the story.

Baremetrics got their cash from a fund specifically intended to promote companies integrating with Stripe. In other words, the goal of the fund was to promote Stripe moreso than to generate returns for LPs

rustdoc has the ability to embed usage examples in the doc comments, and automatically test them. also module-level documentation is doable via doc comments in the module main file. rust doesn't force you to write good documentation, but the tools are all there and I often see great documentation for rust crates that was generated with cargo doc. For example the Rocket docs are full of code examples on both the module and function level: https://api.rocket.rs

I think there's something to be said for javadoc, cargo doc, etc encouraging documentation to hew closely to the structure of the code as opposed to a free-form documentation system that can include multiple pages about tasks, getting started, etc. But the vast majority of projects don't bother to set that up, and the javadoc approach makes it very low friction to add docs to existing code that probably already has comments explaining how to use it.

IMO, the most important work that upvotes and downvotes do is to move comments up and down the page.

In that context, HN consensus on downvoting jokes makes more sense. I like a good joke, but they belong on the bottom of the page after the "serious" conversation. It's unfortunate that it's overloaded with karma, but complicating the upvote/downvote system has other drawbacks.

The HN community is full of incredibly intelligent but often young tech-centric people. I used to be part of the latter, but the reality is they lack a huge amount of context and experience. Being a talented developer-employee, even an early employee is jut not the same as being the founder / maker / starter. I sincerely doubt any of these people spent every single day of the past seven years worrying about the fate of their entire company; if you did, you're an incredible employee but you should have been running your own gig.
