My mom nearly died to Dengue fever. Twice. This shit is incredibly dangerous.
This is inaccurate. The next older upon entering office, after Joe Biden, will have been Donald Trump.

Biden: 77 years, 353 days

Trump: 70 years, 220 days

Reagan: 69 years, 349 days
Score voting results in tactical voting where only the most extreme scores are given, instead of revealing their "true preferences" on a grayscale. In fact, those who provide honest scores are disadvantaged, because the deciding-power of their vote would be lower than those who purposely exaggerate their scores to the extremes!

It works in situations where there are few voters and their votes are all publicly visible.
Ermm, I read parent's comment as an appeal to moderation. I'm not sure how AOC is going to help anything?
Elections are run by the states and so in almost all instances the federal courts will defer to the state courts when it comes to things like determination of fact. So far there has been no evidence of either fraud or misconduct and the thin claims put up so far have been laughed out of court. Lacking any claims of fraud or misconduct the only other option is to somehow be able to prove a miscount and since everyone learned their lesson with the hanging chads of the butterfly ballots this is exceedingly unlikely. With no claims to be made by anyone with standing the states are on a clock in terms of exercising their Article 2 powers.

On the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December (Dec 14) the electors are going to meet in the respective state capitals, whereupon they will cast their votes and attach six copies of their vote to six Certificates of Ascertainment which will go to the president of the Senate (Chuck Grassley), two to the national archivist (David Ferriero), and then one to their secretary of state and one to the chief justice of whatever federal district their state it in. Voila! Now at 12:01 on the 20th of January anyone, even you, could deliver the oath of office to Joe Biden and swear him in as the 46th president.
The author of this article was so incredibly dull to read. I gave up once they started listing of chapter headings one after the next.

Whatever point they were try to make is immediately dismissed by any casual reader with a single thougt: How will I know what's going on?

You are right that obtaining recent news is essential to survival.
I am questioning - why even bother?

It's not like we do elections every month to test out their probability distribution against empirical data. The distribution collapses into a binary outcome at the end.

I have a dice. I claim the distribution is of equal outcome for each side. Well...we don't get to test the dice more than once. 1 sample size does not prove that the 538's predictions were right (or wrong).

Thanks for assuming I can't do math, no way to argue with someone but I am actually pretty bad at it. :-)

Unfortunately every voting system is flawed in some way and strategic voting is still rewarded. Not trying to sound like the current one is an intelligent option though, there are plenty of schemes that are strictly better, like the one you linked.

Just not in California. But it would be different federally, right?
Trump has been blatantly slandered by the mainstream media as racist evil orange man, it was 4 years of '1984' style brainwashing by the left.

Everything else is secondary when the media controls the masses like 'Ministry of Truth' in some dystopian novel. Just watch real-time CNN headlines when president Trump speaks on ANY subject.

One of the big reasons for voting Trump was standing up against this propaganda machine, lies, censorship and intimidation. 70M people thankfully did just that, which gives hope in the future of this country.
Thta is not what they were implying. They were refering to power imbalances, not trade by itself.

> There are a lot of anecdotes of fraud, and they keep coming up, enough to undermine the integrity of our elections (as evidenced).

Two data points is not "a lot" in a country with 150 million registered voters.

If there were actual evidence of enough voter fraud to move the needle, the Trump administration's law suits would gain some traction, particularly after four years of packing the courts with friendly judges. But they aren't [1]. Hell, not even Fox News is taking this seriously any more [1].

Killing the two party duopoly requires significant constitutional changes to how elections are held. One way to do that would be ranked choice voting as implemented in e.g. Maine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked-choice_voting_in_the_Un...).

However, the key point is that such a system would mainly benefit a potential third party, but any changes to the system need to be agreed upon by the current representatives whose interests and reelection would be hurt by such a change.
The whole thing annoys me, but this is what really grinds my gears:

Frank again disagreed and so I made him an offer: If his client promised that it would charge no more than $15K in attorneys’ fees, then we would agree to use the NVCA forms. Frank agreed, but on the condition that we draft the forms.

Although we had secured a legally enforceable right that no more than $15K in attorneys’ fees would be charged to my client, it didn’t matter. True to form, the IPO deal team ran a heavy due diligence over the next six weeks and amassed a six-figure legal fee. To get the deal done, my client was told it had to cover at least half the deal team’s fee, at which this point was well over six figures. They said the “$15K was a mistake” and the “spirit of the deal was always to cover half of our legal fees.” What’s ironic was that we had only one enforceable term in the term sheet and it was the $15K fee cap.
You're making the incorrect assumption that people want the same thing for their local government as for their national government; this isn't correct. One should expect centrist candidates to dominate national elections and more extreme candidates to win state and local elections. When you're trying to sell something to the whole nation, the more bland, the more it'll sell, extreme is niche, this applies in music, movies, and political candidates.

Local candidates answer to local populations, they should be what that population wants; national candidates have to represent everyone, they should not be extreme in any direction or they'll be despised and hated by half the population that swings the other way.
True. My memory confused population census tallies with voting rights. Still, measured worth of a person is fairly proportional to weight of their vote. Limit either, and you limit both.
SSD / Flash becomes more fragile with node shrinks, so flash (currently) kind of has hit the limit on shrinking, and they do "layering" to get more storage/density.

Not sure how much they can keep pushing layering, I think they are already at 96 layers at consumer and are having problems above 128, but I haven't checked the state of ssd in 6 months.

I suppose the investment cost will age out and ssd multilayer will continue to drop, but flash supply (and HDD supply) is effectively a cartel these days of not-that-many players/competitors.
I live in California. The state Republican Party has not "moderated" at all, despite being a permanent minority with no power at all. It ain't happening.
Voters vote against their own self-interests all the time. It does not invalidate the OP's point.
A voting system needs to be accurate but it also needs to inspire confidence. I think the U.S. failed on the latter point. Let me be clear that I don't think this affected the outcome, only the confidence in the outcome.

Mail-in voting has existed for a long time, but it is being done at a larger scale and in new ways and new places. It was a mistake to do it during such a contentious election. Covid is not a good enough reason: it's easy enough to drop the ballot in a county box so the secretary of state has a chain of custody for all valid ballots. I would actually prefer voter ID as well as people standing there to do a brief check. In addition to preventing fraud, it also helps remind voters if they forgot to sign or something.

Also, I think it needs to be said that a lot of people hate Trump. Hate can cause people to do things that they would never imagine doing otherwise, like election fraud. It doesn't need to be a conspiracy... just a lot of individuals doing small stuff (post office employees throwing away likely Trump ballots, etc.).

And it doesn't help that the map looked quite red on the day of the election, and that the poll numbers were WAY off, and that the media was rooting for Biden. It all just erodes confidence.
His preference was to sacrifice the lives of Americans in order to save the economy, that feels pretty authoritarian to me.
compile it for avx2 and you might still win
Trump got more votes this election. The "anyone but clinton" line is a falsehood. The real reason Trump won is because huge swaths of Americans feel disenfranchised because we no longer control the entire worlds economy like we did for the 30 years after ww2. They're entitled brats who feel they deserve more even thought they're already the wealthiest group of unskilled workers in the world. And the republicans realize that and are willing to lie and say they can bring that America back.
It’ll happen, but nobody’s going to hold up on calling the election, certifying results, and choosing electors in the meantime.
This sounds like an only having 2 parties problem, rather than a union problem

It's not like the tech entrepreneurs are from the same class as people who are in unions. The ability to take on risk to start a business is an economic privilege, so what's the point of this comparison? Rich people have more freedom in capitalism than poor people. Is that controversial?
This is absolutely mind boggling to me. I've written a normal quine before and that was a fun challenge, but this is just so incredible I have absolutely no idea how it's even remotely possible.
It makes their lives worse because it puts the workers in competition with workers in those other countries.

Since you asked for metrics, here is a site for working remotely as a freelancer [1]. You'll quickly notice the pay rates are abysmal. $7/hr for a three.js developer. $250 (or lower, possibly as low s $30) to make a fully functional & tested app on android+iphone (would normally take an entire dev team probably well over 1 or 2 weeks).

These are rates below minimum wage for highly technical skills.

This is even more true for hardware too but it's hard to quantify, because e.g. you can't just compare the price of buying capacitors wholesale from Shenzhen with the price of buying capacitors wholesale from Cleveland, because Cleveland doesn't manufacture capacitors.

However, I do have some data (though it's not the most sophisticatedly obtained). Sticking with capacitors as a benchmark, I was expecting there to be 0 US companies manufacturing capacitors, but apparently there are 7 [2]. In contrast, there are apparently 228 Chinese companies manufacturing capacitors [3].

All of this is just to say it's pretty clear that globalization has moved these jobs overseas (and significantly dropped the market rate for those who remain local).

Because vote tampering is a partisan issue.
The complexity will always live somewhere. Just because you are a frontend developer, and GraphQL magically makes your life easier, it doesn't mean that complexity is just gone. That backend you're so dismissive of is what powers your site/app, and it needs to be developed and maintained, and has to be performant etc. etc.

And yes, GraphQL makes backend significantly more complex, fragile, and prone to significant performance issues.
I agree. I also have a hunch that you are in a very different bubble than I am, and the worldview that I convey from your bubble does not make sense to me at all. I think I used to be in ”your” bubble when I was a lot younger.

Point me to the seats that progressives won in red and purple districts?

Drug decriminalization and minimum wage increases are in the party platform already.

Biden beat Bernie when it was 1-1 in the primary, Bernie could only win with the moderate vote split. The voters picked.
I do indeed. Thanks for the fix.
Yes and now you can’t own the hammer, you have to call a cloud provider to bring you one each time you need to use it, assuming your hammer subscription is paid up.
The problem was that more progressive policies were divisive even within the party, and out of the more moderate candidates running Biden has the most name recognition and probably the most "we know we're going to get".

If by "someone better" you mean more progressive, then you're exactly right: you need to convince a portion of the moderate majority to be more progressive. That is a difficult & long term process.
Enjoying my moonlander [1] which I bought after reading about it on HN. I went the whole hog and switched to a colemak variant as well. Typing speed is still far from my peak but feel I'm on track to a longer term pay off. The configuration software is pretty impressive too.

Idk why my company chose it but it's indeed bearable if you just talk to the API and make nice overviews with `jq` instead of trying to use the web interface which will trip you up eight ways from Sunday.

Follow Up: The NY Post editorial board, one of the few boards that endorsed Trump has offered the following advice:

"Get Rudy Giuliani off TV."

Even the Post doesn't give Giuliani credence. Trump will get recounts, none of them will move the numbers in a meaningful way, just like every other recount in the history of Presidential recounts.

This sounds like a divisive unsubstantiated rant. Do you have anything to backup the claim that Californa D's want to have no republicans on the ticket? If not, please refrain from even mentioning it. Not even as a rant. Thanks.

Also why would that happen? There are tons of republicans in California. Obviously, California republicans running for state offices should have a platform that might resemble a D platform. Because as I said - you adjust to the elctorate. What parties stand for isn't written in stone. Parties that think it is will become irrelevant. Annd no, not because they are banned from running.

If they bothered to break democracy, why hold elections at all? There is no legitimacy coming from a one party election.
Multi party and ranked choice I hope will bring some sanity to the system.
I didn't like how both VP candidates dodged that question in the debates. It's a legitimate concern.
The function of both parties is to convince their constituents to believe in policies against their own interests.

As someone not steeped in it, I think the charitable interpretation is that these people like working a job for the dignity of supporting themselves. The jobs went away, but the desire for that dignity hasn't. So social welfare policies remain uninteresting. In fact any top-down analysis sets off their "government handout" detectors, so they're left pining for the age before the need for labor dried up.

IMO a lot could have been done (and perhaps could still be) by decreasing the definition of full time work. With technological progress, offshoring, and women entering the workforce, full time employment should be around 10-15 hours per week. It's a radical departure from the status quo, but that's due to progress being held back so long. Instead we're stuck between a rock and a hard place with an economy tuned to force people into working 40+ hours a week, but little actual work to do.

(BTW the work in cities is more about communication, so the same trend manifests itself as the creation of non-producing bullshit jobs. There is less financial pain, but similar existential pain)
If there were a candidate who was going to demolish Trump, as you suggest, they should’ve easily demolished Biden for all the reasons others have mentioned about him being completely uninspiring.
> CN was measured in Wave 4 using a five-item version of the Collective Narcissism Scale (Golec de Zavala et al. 2009; Golec de Zavala, Cichocka, and Bilewicz 2013). The items were: “If the United States had a major say in the world, the world would be a much better place,” “The United States deserves special treatment,” “It really makes me angry when others criticize the United States,” “Not many people seem to fully understand the importance of the United States,” and “I will never be satisfied until the United States gets the recognition it deserves.” All items used a seven-point scale ranging from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (7).

I dunno, that doesn't sound sound to me, and people tend to draw bold conclusions from such matters.

I've seen quite a lot of such papers, proving that "conservatives are knowing liberals better than vice versa" or similar, but diving into methodology it seems like people are trying to exacerbate what the data says.

People voting for Trump are regular blue collar workers loosing from globalization. Hence they want walls. I don't think there is any good in demonizing them.
At this point, having seen so much nonsense and idiocy on all levels and everywhere, i bet my money simply on laziness and stupidity. Guess some boss' favorite play thing has been promoted to project manager, cuz it's trendy, and the people that did the actual work just didn't care beyond the paycheck at the end of the month.
I agree with your last sentence, but this is very clearly the intention. Small states threw a fit when they were writing the constitution so now we're stuck with this bullshit.
I've had my Moonlander for about a week now. Would recommend if you're willing to spend that much on something like a keyboard.
There is zero evidence that Biden has had any type of mental decline. He has battled a stutter for his entire life. His stumbles in his public speaking appearances are almost assuredly related to his speech impediment and not an issue with intelligence or coherence.
Do you live in SV? That might have something to do with it. I have plenty of friends on the right and left who don't think in absolutes.
> GitHub was flakey, some things didn’t have error responses

That just seems like API problem rather than GraphQL problem. The equivalent would be REST API that just returns 500 without any additional info. You can be lazy in both stacks, I don't think any one of them particularly prevents you from being lazy about handling errors / typing useful error messages.

> Mutations would screw up encoding “ character and it was just painful.

Interesting, haven't heard about this. Also cant come up with how this is related to GraphQL, as you are just transferring string, just like you would do with REST. It seems more of an problem with some proxy/grapql framework layer that didn't handle the character correctly?

> REST api was much more deterministic and easier to work with. POST/PATCH/PUT/DELETE map well.

I don't see this as a big win, in GraphQL you just have `somethindUpdate` `somethingCreate` `somethingDelete` mutations, it is true that it is up to you to keep the naming consistent but nothing really that would be big trouble, or win for the REST.

> I wish graphql didn’t invent its own quirky language and stuck to good ol json.

If they did that you would end up with some quirky JSON query and schema syntax that would look like json schema or the mongo query schema. It is true that if you do new syntax you lose some json tooling that could be used (eg syntax highlight) but I don't see that much stuff transferable to the problems that GraphQL is solving.. so you would still end up with bunch of custom tooling on top, and when you need that you might as well go the way they did, with new syntax, that is not as quirky as whatever mongo/json schema like thing they would come up with.

> There is a lot of over complication.

This is definitely true and one of the most overlooked things by GraphQL evangelists, the "additional complexity layers" are non negligible.
We have had more than a decade of social media and internet message boards to learn that this whole 'expose the lie' myth promulgated mostly by free speech absolutists turns out to be complete bullshit. Masses of people are dumb, easily manipulated mobs whether they are in the public square or in some online echo chamber. The truth will be buried in a pile of a thousand lies.
You can support people of color without actively denigrating straight white men.

Or, you know, we could stop focusing on race, gender and sexuality so fucking much.

On the contrary, it's the bipartisan stuff that's allowed to slip past the radar. If there's fire behind this smoke, the GOP insiders aren't going to want to look into it if it means calling attention to what they did in Ohio in 2004.

Zig is a boring language. As in, if you already know another programming language, picking up Zig is going to be very fast and simple.

Sure, it introduces some new concepts, comptime being the main one, but these are very easy to grasp, and you will immediately use them and understand their value.

It’s a replacement for C as the compiler doesn’t get in the way, but still brings you safety features that C never had: checked arithmetic, slices, checked pointer casts, tagged unions, nice error handling, better memory management, defer, etc.

It also has excellent support for WebAssembly.

I must confess that Zig is the first language that I’ve been so excited about since Rust.
