> It is grotesque to call 2% a strong signal.

It's a pretty strong signal of who won the election, given that we know that submission of fraudulent ballots doesn't work at scale.

> As for voter fraud, I'm curious how you think it is insignificant without an audit.

In is audited, continuously, by the fact that voters have to be registered and can't vote twice. Voter rolls are regularly audited by state election commissions to remove people who have died and/or moved out of the state, and there's no evidence of a non-negligible number of fake people making their way onto voter registration rolls. When two ballots are returned for the same person, or if a ballot is returned for someone who is known to be dead, etc, it prompts an investigation into how that happened. Not every registered voter votes, but by and large people register to vote because they intend to vote, so it's infeasible for a systematic effort to submit fraudulent ballots to avoid colliding with the real votes of the people being impersonated.

> And even if it was, shouldn't the fraudsters be prosecuted?

They are prosecuted.

And really, "grotesque"? That seems pretty rude.
I struggle with this. For me, computer is the issue. There's always something to do on the computer, and the reward always comes faster than for any other task. There's no such thing as doing a single thing with it, then moving on. There's always an email, a notification, a feed.

My computer-free days feel a lot like the old days.
Exactly - for example, resizing photos.

Imagine a resizer object, that could be used:

- to implement resizing in various interfaces for image objects

- in a script (think unix pipes but operating over real image objects, not streams of bytes)

- wired up to various events and data sources for automation (when my aunt emails me a picture, resize it and put it in this folder)

The resizer wouldn't be hidden behind some app's implementation - it would be a first class object you can inspect and interact with ("ok, looks like this resizer objects takes an image object as an inputs and outputs another image. i'll drag an image onto it right now to try it out")
> Does anyone use Mutt with gmail or alikes today? Is it worth it?

I use mutt with gmail account (and with everything else, although primarily I use my self-hosted email server). Works fine with gmail.

> But gave it up for Gmail web interface.

The web interface is so inferior, I can't imagine using it by choice (I'm forced by $EMPLOYER to use the gmail web interface, so I suffer through that pain daily).

Anywhere that I have a choice, I use mutt.
But entropy is relative to an attacker (it measures the attacker's uncertainty about your password). The 1.2 bits/character measurement is about grammatical English text that occurs in a communicative setting. That means that before you get there, you probably already know what word goes at the end of this sentence.

You can measure this with human native speakers, or with a compression algorithm, or with a naive letter n-gram or word n-gram model, and get different statistics -- each of which is correct in the sense of each model's uncertainty about how the text continues.

In the password setting, words can be used in all sorts of ways, some of which are very unpredictable to an attacker, so it's plausible that each word adds at least log₂(len(dictionary)) to the password entropy when it's chosen at random from a dictionary, even when the attacker expects that the password selection method could have used that dictionary.
You bet? How very scientific of you.

These days I don't use mutt much because I need to mark some emails as 'remind me later' and bluemail and gmail offers this functionality. Is there a mutt alternative?

Yep, browsers ship with native libraries for DRM, which are closed source and aren't available compiled for aarch64. Pinebook, raspberry pi etc can't use Spotify (or Netflix) out of the box. There are some workarounds, which are all quite inconvenient and perform poorly.

You seem to be affected by the exact thing the post you replied to is alleging. As an outsider who reads both sides' arguments all the time, I am convinced that Republicans currently lean towards supporting freedom of speech and personal liberties, civil discourse, equal rights while the Democrats are the exact opposite. They are supporting and defending violent protests, looting, segregation(!), vowed to make lists of Trump supporters to deal with after the election etc. etc. ... Perhaps this is "truth and decency" for some people, but to many it's not.
Thankfully there are already quite a few written in something else, but yeah C will survive as long as UNIX clones are kept around.

That's one valid reason but it's unfortunate IMO to see it that way.

Mutt (and similar, although I use mutt) are just so much inherently better than any web interface can ever be. The configurability and access to pipe content to other processes cannot be matched.

> Just like regular flu. It kills lots of people every year

The worst flu killed 80k people in a year, and normally kills about 20k a year. It hasn't even been a year and three times as many people have died compared to the worst flu season, and 1,600+ Americans die every day from COVID. This epidemic so far has been more than twelve times worse than the average flu season.

> So do car accidents - lets just ban driving

About 38k people die in car accidents in the US, and the average person drives 1 million miles before getting in an accident. And that's with practically every person in the country driving that can. In contrast, only 3% of Americans have had COVID, yet 237k of them have died in less than a year. If the majority of Americans get COVID, millions of people will die.

I'd say MSNBC was just as complicit as Fox over the decades.

In 2009, they purposefully cropped video of the main protester outside an Obama town-hall meeting to only show his back and slung rifle, and then used the footage to immediately launch into a panel discussion positing that the primary motivation for the protests against Obama was racial animus. The protester was black.

You've got a logic bug. When dragging something from Quadrant 2,3,4 to Quadrant 1 it doesn't go positive until you let go.
I think the Supreme Court Justice issue is way more complicated than that. When going down the nuclear option, both Reid and McConnell knew this was going to happen, it was just a matter of who ended up on top.

There was always going to be a scramble for one side to change the rules, get a leg up, and pull the ladder up behind them. I suppose that's endemic to a 2-party system, but that's what happens when hard-earned consensus is destroyed. Not blaming Dems/GOP here, I'm just saying this was the inevitable consequence and it's more complicated than you're letting on.
You are completely right. But that was not what were talking about. When Hollande said he wanted to be "normal" he meant "less snobbish", or more precisely "not like Sarkozy". However, both Hollande and Sarkozy were "reactive", in the media making statements non-stop. Hollande organised a panicky press statement on a Sunday evening, during the apex of the "affaire Leonarda" (explanation for non-French : 'should this 16-year old get to stay in France').

The point that GP was making, was that perhaps a president should not be the only one in the spotlight, and that his interventions should be more "rare". And I simply pointed out that a similar discussion had taken place in France.

Actually the coronavirus does not exist at all.
The important thing that has to be avoided if you want to perpetrate voter fraud is accidentally submitting a ballot for someone who actually votes themselves. Given that most registered voters do in fact vote it's not a workable approach to just print out ballots and submit them, you also need a reason to believe that the targeted voter isn't going to vote, such as having intercepted their ballot.
Not sure what you're driving at here, could you explain? To put it more simply on my end: iPhones use biometric authentication to secure your data, and the eye-scanning swarm of spider robots are from a 20 year old fictional movie.
Trump got 71,000,000 legal votes, most ever for a sitting president.

Biden is the hugest illusion in American politics. You will probably get very angry when the truth comes out (in a few weeks), because Trump will (OF COURSE) stay president.

Nothing is as it seems. Illusions will go away. Only the Truth will stay forever.

Taking care of my breathing pattern, among other things, is what helped me reduce/eliminate anxiety - especially while programming. I always had some anxiety and social awkardness after working. Taking care of my breathing, posture, being in sync with the breath, this is what helped me eliminate these issues. The mind is more cooled down, detached and objective, whereas previously, the mind was at the whim of whatever thoughts were running through - which was the source of anxiety.

One candidate supported bombings in the middle east that resulted in deaths of hundreds, thousands of civilians including children. I'm pretty sure killing children is worse than keeping them alive. Why would you support that candidate?

You're playing a rhetorical game, rather than having an honest discussion.

There is real evidence of Steve Miller being a white supremacist; notably, emails have leaked where he warmly cited _Camp Of The Saints_. Reportedly, Miller was instrumental in the Trump policy of using family separation as a deliberately deterrence rather than a grotesque expediency. The burden on accusations against Miller has probably shifted towards his defenders.

Bannon is a goblin but I preemptively concede that there's not much evidence of his problems being racialized. But Miller you can't say that about.
I'm not sure how you can come away from any observation of politics and not conclude that lying is absolutely rampant. Are there politicians who are relatively honest? Sure, but while they may have loyal grass-roots support, they tend not to be the most successful and they are most definitely in the minority.

Most any person with a sense of political history could provide a litany of examples just for recent politicians, not to mention past eras.

I don't think the main difference here is Trump's ability to lie, though he does have an impetuous manner of speaking that makes it hard to sustain elaborate lies. I think the main difference is the willingness (or lack thereof) of people in respectable positions to cover for his lying, because he is not considered respectable.
I think studying and publishing this now is a disservice to the cause.

The pharmaceutical business model relies on continued treatment, not the cure. So, publishing studies like this is a surefire way of getting a whole lot of sponsored studies which show the exact opposite or some other dangers and side effects which will make sure those substances remain banned for ever. That or legitimacy of the studies or the people involved questioned or fired.

At this time, this should be attacked as "legalizing for personel use as a part of defunding the police". Don't involve scientific studies AT ALL. We can get to that later.
I don't subscribe to any side, but on this topic I much prefer the freedom of movement that I get to enjoy in the U.S., especially in some states. I'd hate to be locked up like they were in Australia and now Europe. Even the bay area was getting a bit much for me with their random restrictions on outdoor spaces.

There is no doubt that the virus is deadly, and more deadly for certain age groups, but let's not treat it like the great plague. On top of that, with mask use and distancing the spread is negligible, especially outside.

When did we get so risk-averse where every death should be prevented no matter the cost? Many people die for various reasons. You can maximize your age by sitting inside a cushioned room all your life to limit injuries, but I prefer to not live that way.
As an engineer, I love your idea. The original use case for this tool is daily self-prioritization and I wanted to keep it really, really simple.
Planning in general is overwhelming and I wanted to take that pain away, coz I found myself spending longer in planning than actually doing. By only considering the impact/urgency of a task, you take away the effort/time cost and only focus on the task at hand, irrespective of how much time it takes. As an example, if you have a task that is extremely high impact and high urgency, will you drop it in favor of another task that is quicker but lower in impact/urgency?
Since you are defining your own task, the expectation is that your mental model takes care of impact/ effort and (somehow) fuses that information into one value.

I will keep your feedback in mind and think of a nice way. Thanks for the kind words

>People on the left think that anyone on the right is a lunatic, and everyone on the right thinks the same thing about the left.

I firmly disagree. Not all political climates and discourses are as poisoned as they are in the US.

That said, not all political disagreements are created equally. We can have a rousing polite disagreement about immigration levels, national financial priorities, cultural values and so on, but if the discussion is premised in a fundamental disagreement about whether or not certain people deserve dignity as human beings then there's very little common ground to build off of.
I’m working on a tool called Amna - and it can help with this. For example, I always have too many tabs open, or sometimes I forget why I opened a new tab. Amna pins the current task you’re working on up top, and saves your browsing session by task, so even if I wander it can all come back.

> Those networks must limit themselves to neutrally reporting the news and let the people make up their minds.

Impartial coverage is important, but neutral reporting is dangerous. Good journalism requires analyzing evidence, not treating all opposing views as equal (false balance).

When evidence is clear (such as in the case of the safety of vaccinations, the role humans play in climate change, etc.), "neutral reporting" can be misleading or even damaging.

It's the responsibility of journalists to help their audience understand view points, but that doesn't require giving them equal weight.

For example, in the case of vaccinations it's important to acknowledge that vaccinations were at one point believed to be linked to developmental disorders, that the study which did so has been debunked, and that the consensus of the medical community is now clear: there is no link between vaccines and autism.

The same holds true in the context of an election. For example, journalists should be (and, in many case, are) explaining that while some believe that votes were cast or counted illegally, no evidence of this has been presented. While it appeared that Biden "took the lead" after election day, this was an illusion resulting from the way in which the Republican legislatures in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania caused votes to be counted: they did not allow counting of mail ballots to begin earlier, despite knowing that record numbers would be received this year, and despite knowing that mail ballots would favor Democrats. While convincing reasons were presented for these decisions, such as earlier counting posing problems for volunteer election inspectors, it had predictable effects on the time period over votes were tallied and it is disingenuous for Trump to refer to these as "surprise ballot dumps" and either willfully ignorant or intentionally misleading for him to attempt to claim victory on election night before these ballots had been counted.

I'd argue differently. Yes, his name is dropped often in the press.

However, if you compare the number of interviews, speeches, or other public interventions, they have been greatly reduced since the hyperprésidences of Sarkozy and Hollande.

As Dominique de Villepin predicted at the time (2010): a president that is omnipresent, managing everything directly, ends up being isolated, and paradoxically powerless since he is overloaded.

Yes. Mosix was the kind of black magic that makes you think software today is still several generations behind the times (like Plan9 before it). Even its distributed network filesystem is superior in ease of use to all others. But the devil's in the details, and distributing threads and shared memory is just really difficult, and the patchsets never made it into vanilla. So there goes yet another amazing design down the drain.

It reminds me of how electric cars are a 190 year old technology whose actual peak popularity was 120 years ago. Yet here we are, with manufacturers predicting they'll finally be popular again, in 10 to 15 years.
