What if you:
1. Send a voltage through a fiber optic cable, and make thousands of miles into compute.
2. Predict gravitational waves, measure them with a laser, and build a resonator to heat up or generate a voltage.
3. Work at the extremes. That semiconductor grounds itself to the Earth, and that semiconductor is at the scale of the Planck length. Everything here on earth is the same. Everything out there sees a black hole that's not really black. Perhaps before humans have the tech, nature has had it all along through quantum chemistry and biology, solar radiation and orbits.

----------

Newton thought radiation was what happens when two things are close to the same temperature. The temperatures fluctuate back and forth, making a medium of their own. A few hundred years later, by accident, electrical potential and magnetism became the same thing, matching closely to the delay Galileo found when viewing Jupiter's moons. Newton's model began to fall apart, predicting a closed cupboard of cast iron pots and pans would cause one to radiate white hot and the rest to grow darker and colder.

Industrialists paid Max Planck to determine how bright a light bulb filament can be. Planck looked at the kinetic theory of gases, and created a model where matter needs to charge up a little bit before radiating light at a higher frequency. Connect two conductive surfaces, or focus light somewhere, and it's like putting a tiny soup can around an area. What's inside is either hitting each other, hitting the walls or hitting nothing, and probability of internal state relates to the external temperature and pressure to contain it.

Einstein looked at Planck's model, and said you have a start, you have an end, you have a particle. Think about it in reverse. You have heat transfer collapsing to a point, the topology, providing the particle. The medium of radiation is the relative clocks of separate internal states. Nature will speed up and slow down clocks to transfer heat just the same as colliding matter. That's what a photon is really. The model is particle emission but the nature is very different.

Electrical potential transfers through the medium. The actual electron is really slow. The photoelectric effect requires frequency regardless of intensity. It really is the opposite. Not building out of components. What on the surface balances out to create the internals for what the outside is containing.

I know this isn't written anywhere. I would say it's more the easier thermal path of what's grounded to than it's internal atomic state. You're pushing back on what your grounded to with the relative clock.

Electrons and photons are really counter intuitive. Not little particles traveling in between. A filament holds a voltage, a spot on the wall gets bright because it's the easiest path of thermal transfer.

Just to clarify, people suffering from schizophrenia are much more likely to be victims than perpetrators of violence, and not all schizophrenia is accompanied with paranoia. but they are prone to delusions. Given my layman's understanding of schizophrenia, it strikes me as particularly irresponsible for Bannon to take the paranoid delusions he peddles and mix in this violent hyperbole.
> removing the electoral college today would guarantee that certain places (coastal/densely urbanized states) control the election.

You're still arguing in terms of places. Coastal urbanized states will "control the election" only in the sense that they have the majority of population and their average preference will have greater influence than the rest, when you average the whole area. In other words, they will control the election in the same way "people living to the south of Minneapolis" or "people who ordered Chinese food in the past year" will control the election.

Statements like that aren't 100% true.

I've been witness two sleepwalking events with different peopl. Both were fully conversant and aware of their surroundings, they just did odd things and we assumed they were drunk. Later we found out about the ambien and how neither had any recollection of the event.
Great effort, interesting perspective. What a lot of people miss is the purpose of the election college and the fact that it is working exactly as designed, framing it as "voter suppression" is an unfortunate way to frame it.

The founders anticipated most people living in cities and so used the college to give more weight to rural votes. It can be argued they miscalibrated but America would be much less conservative if we decided the presidency by popular vote. Change the system and you'll be handing the country over to city dealers, the fact that people that live in cities call themselves Democrats in cities DOES NOT mean there is voter suppression of democrats.
Interesting, that's probably a big factor. Counterexample: Georgia, which started processing mail-in ballots 15 days before e-day (as far as I can tell): https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/battleground-states-process-...

HEPA filters are a good idea, but they can be in short supply and they need to be replaced on a regular basis.

Box fans are not good for attaching filters too because they are not designed to deal with static pressure from a filter. The gaps between the blades and the case mean if you put much/any obstacle in the way, it will just recirculate unfiltered air.
Sorry if this is an aside, but I mean... practically speaking, wouldn't a ban on encryption basically be useful and impossible to enforce? The US export controls on encryption in the 1990s were largely ineffective, no?

Forcing Apple/Microsoft to build in backdoors in their implementations of encryption packages might be one thing, but software developers surely have local copies of openssl, libsodium, etc, so what will this actually be able to achieve?

There’s only a single tipping point state. It’s the one that puts you over 270 EV. In 2016, it was PA. I agree knowing which swing state is going to be the tipping point state can be harder to predict, but even if you have to spread your bet, it’s still fewer votes to sway than the popular vote.

The bug report was for not being able to screenshot in situations when it wasn't actually disabled.

The fundamental problem that the GP is referring to and that demonstrates the loss of control over one's own devices is that it _is_ possible for apps to disable making of screenshots to begin with.

Ex-professional weightlifter of about 10 years here, checking in to add a note.
The whole section on physical health and deadlifting is borderline redundant.

Don't get me wrong... It's an alpha exercise and you feel amazing doing it. But the only physical reward you get from deadlifting is the ability to deadlift more and alongside it have a severely higher risk of injury.

If you want a correlation between sitting at a desk and building strength to offset that, look at squats in all it's forms, and hamstring and quad dominant exercises. Your lower body is in much more trouble than your lower back from sitting at a computer.

Hipflexer stretches with resistance bands will also do you wonders.

Trust me folks. Doing deadlifts because you see the gym-bros on youtube doing them is a big mistake. Take a book out of Eddie Hall's playbook who says the exact same thing... And he's literally the strongest man in the world.

"There's no middle ground on abortion when there's a number of people that won't even accept the abortion of a fetus that is already dead."

You're missing my argument here.

You are highlighting an example of an 'extremist' view - this doesn't in any way indicate there is 'no common' ground.

Maybe own views on abortion might have triggered you to miss this (?) and that there are extremists on the 'other end of the spectrum' - there are those who believe that a baby, near the point of being born, possibly even 'past due' is merely a 'fetus' and should have no rights.

3rd trimester abortions are quite rare, but they do exist and there are some who push for them.

The point is that abortion, which is a really difficult moral issue with extremism on either side, actually does have a huge common ground.

The vast majority of Americans, outside of hyperbole, would essentially accept 'early abortions' as fairly unambiguously acceptable. Beyond that, it would be more contentious.

The 'hard anti-abortion' camp would obviously not like that, and the 'hard fetus is only a fetus' camp would be livid that there were restrictions on later abortions.

But the 'centre ground' would hold, at least in terms of popular acceptance.

Of course it won't happen because the 'far sides' war with each other on it. We may, over decades, arrive at some kind of result that looks like that, we mostly already have.

"I personally know someone who firmly believes that an immigrant overstaying their visa has committed a crime, is now a criminal, and they (and their family) need to be deported immediately."

Again - this kind of misses the 'centre ground' argument.

That you know someone who thinks 'any overstay should be aborted' only indicates that there are people who feel strongly about it.

It says nothing about the 'common ground'.

Here is the evidence [1]. Even a majority of Republicans support DACA.

I'd encourage everyone to spend a lot of time in Pew Research, it's amazing. There are a lot of surveys in there with respect to so many issues that one might find surprising.

It is frankly Pew Research that has made be understand how much common ground their is, and my OP is really based on quite some time perusing that data - I should have probably referred to it - but on every one if the issues I highlighted, there's Pew data to support it.

Ask HN: Online Linux Course for Teen
My son wanted to build another PC, so I bought him the parts under the agreement that he'd turn it into a Linux box. (we didn't really need another PC in the house, but he wanted to build another) Christmas school holidays approaching quick -- wanted to find an interesting/useful online linux course for him to do during holidays.

What are contemporary course recommendations? I've seen a lot of lame stuff, especially course that just cram lots of incantations down your throat. Any recommendations for a course that is interesting and sets up the initial seed that will allow him to later move in whatever direction he wants with it. (For example recently I heard him speculating perhaps the box could help him do streaming, etc)
But I would also not want the method of storage of secrets to become obsolete. The important thing is that I’m able to keep a secret, not how the secret is stored. For example, say quantum encryption comes to be known as “q-store” and is always said to be different from encryption. Now, what does that do to my rights if I move from traditional encryption to quantum algorithms?

That's right to privacy, not right to encryption specifically. And governments cracking down on encryption will, of course, claim that it is a matter of national security, and is a proportionate action to fight terrorism, child pornography, and other crimes.
Dead people will vote in every election that allows absentee ballots, because people die after they mail their ballot but before election day. Atomicity. It's a bitch.

Every state has an electronic pollbook that tracks voter eligibility. Votes for dead people will arrive, but they should not as a rule be counted.
I like pre-recording hypotheses when these things happen. In this case, my top hypothesis is that the user picked a name that is common for online game communities (maybe something like xxHardcoreGamerGod420xx and extending to including slurs perhaps) which falls afoul of Facebook's Real Name Policy, causing them to shut off the account.

>No, California [...] always vote Democrat

Except 1988, 1984, 1980, 1976, 1972 and so on. Aka in my lifetime (yes, I am old).

Georgia always votes Republican, except in this election (probably) or when Carter is running.

An acquaintance who hails from Indiana recently told me Indiana always votes for the Republican candidate, and was surprised to find out Obama took Indiana in 2008.

The Rust belt is deeply blue, except in 2016 when it was more purple with a tint of red.

Kennedy defeated Nixon in Georgia and New York and Nevada, but not in California. (And New York had more electoral votes than California until 1972).

The South used to be Democrat. The West used to be Republican. Except again when Johnson, Nixon, Reagan took essentially the entire nation.

Another example: Support for gay marriage between 1996 and now went from 68% opposition to 67% support. Proposition 8 in 2008 banning gay marriage in California was accepted by Californian voters just 12 years ago with 52% voting against gay marriage, and only 5 years later in 2013 that opposition had dwindled to 34%.

Even parties change: Republicans went from the party of Lincoln to the party of Trump with many stops in between. Demoncrats went from the party in favor of slavery and segregation to the party that claims to be all about racial/gender/sexuality justice.

Demographic and ideological shifts do occur regularly, often at a sluggish speed but sometimes quite quickly.

My point: don't say always.

(That isn't too say that I am in support of the electoral collage or the first-past-the-post voting system resulting in a defacto two party oligarchy; both are bad in my humble opinion).
Yep. My Mom who is her late 70's has watched both for many years. She loves them both for different reasons. This stupid assumption game is just another "I'm better than them" BS that creates artificial barriers.

Numbers for each state since 2000, every 2 years, available here: http://www.electproject.org/home/voter-turnout/voter-turnout...

Philadelphia, Detroit, and a number of other cities are notoriously slow in counting their ballots.

This happens every election that I can remember, going back to 2000.

If I had to guess, the complexity of counting may increase in a non-linear way after a certain number of precincts.

I'm unconvinced the proportions should be consistent at the state level or any level really. There have been GOTV events that have thousands of attendees, then there's the "souls to the polls" event every time, I can't think of a way to slice it where I would be convinced by unbalanced batches.

Presumably the platform can guarantee anonymity a little more than that. For instance, you could uniquely generate a Google Form for each person you're emailing and so that removes the 'safety' they'd feel responding.

However, if the platform said "The user you're giving feedback for has received 10 unique pieces of feedback over 15 different links" you skip reviewing that guy but if it says "The user you're giving feedback for has received 10 unique pieces of feedback over 1 link" then you feel more like it's trustworthy.

The platform could have a "which email did you receive the request from" and you could punch it in and the platform can tell you how many unique feedback requests the person has and so on and so forth.

> First, we do detect a small number of voter fraud cases. People have gone to prison for it.

Fair enough, though now I'm wondering why I keep hearing "no shred of evidence of voter fraud" from so many people.

> But voter fraud, on the "retail" level, is heavily penalized and extremely unlikely to impact outcomes.

There are currently four states (AZ, GA, PA, WI) with less than 1% margin between the candidates. Georgia is at 0.2%. It wouldn't take a high percentage of fraud to flip a state.

But let's suppose that retail voter fraud is rare. How are we even detecting wholesale voter fraud? What's the method to detect when someone with access to the voter rolls slips an extra crate of ballots into the count, or fills out and mails in thousands of ballots in the names of people who never asked them to?
