He hasn’t been certified as the winner of even a single state yet. Trump called the bluff, soon the only vote that matters will be ACB’s.
Because minorities are unable to find polling locations? I don’t understand your claim.
I doubt it. And if there was I get the feeling that Murdoch's machine will be fired up to set the result, which is bad. So we're fucked either way.

The only thing we have now is the bungling twat and the gremlin pulling the strings that are running this shit show are getting their options radically limited. Hopefully there will be an internal revolt against them.
What % chance did the polls/forecast give the republicans gaining seats in the house (I actually don't know but from reading pundits it sounds like very little)? I think the interesting thing this cycle is betting markets were pretty much also at odds with pollsters/forecasts on Trump's chances, basically baking in a pro-trump (R?) polling error. Perhaps there really are issues with some of these forecasts / uncertainty estimates?
Presidential election results of a major nation is extremely relevant despite being political, thus the qualifier most.
Nah, he and Harris are senate insiders who will work relationships across the aisle and get things done.
> Do you realize no one thinks it has legal significance?

Almost everyone does.
Donald Trump was called the Republican nominee for months before the convention even though you could say that was the "media" making the call. In fact, he didn't become the nominee until the vote at the convention was certified.

But it is completely irrelevant. Biden will be the next president.
What I’m really curious about now is how the GOP are going to position itself wrt Trump and his rhetoric and claims when he’s no longer in office.
Anyone else get weird vibes reading that? If feels like that comment was written yesterday and an eternity ago. It's feels like 4 years just passed by in a jiffy but at the same time, it felt like it was the longest 4 years of my life.
That was already the policy and was happening before the ruling, the ruling basically just formalized the policy. Doesn’t change anything.
To be clear I am talking about their entire approach to voting and not just counting them. Limiting mail in ballots, limiting early voting, limiting polling places, pushing for voter ID, pushing for a more proactive pruning of voter rolls, pushing against same day voter registration, and simply requiring registration at all. One side wants more people to vote and one side wants less people to vote. I can't get over how that latter side isn't considered un-American.
Today you can fit (with off-the-shelf components) four 8TB M.2 drives (in RAID) in the volume of a 20TB spinning disk drive. Yes the cost is higher, but when it comes down ... Isn’t the industry expecting solid state density and cost might eclipse that of disk drives in the next 5(?) years?
It's a real shame that far too many people's opinions can be made by simply arguing the four horsemen of the infocalypse[0]. These are the same types of arguments used by certain groups to promulgate their own agendas at the cost of individual liberties.

I’m sad the author has never worked with good marketers. Yes, data collection is imperfect, advertising dashboards lie about attribution, and any metrics that aren’t connected to valuable, verifiable transaction data are terrible if your marketing team follows them the wrong direction. Marketing- finding the people that could use your products and communicating value- is a real skill and a soft science. Great marketing teams understand how to show value to the human beings at the other end of these digital processes, how to leverage tech to communicate most effectively, AND how to create directionally useful predictive models that connect noisy, messy data to valuable outcomes. There are plenty of bad marketers, but don’t confuse the lack of skill in the teams you’ve worked with for the upper bound of what’s possible in the discipline.
There really aren't; as that article says, the state was already doing what the GOP sued to require, and those ballots are both small enough in number and likely enough to favor Biden that even saying there are "questions" is overblown.
They were already doing that; and even if they weren't, it would not change the outcome.

Remember that when it comes to non-emergency motions, courts are unlikely to grant the form of relief requested when doing so would be moot.
I've seen some claims of voting irregularities that I find credible. But think more local guy decides on his own to do small scale cheating, rather than an organized campaign. And I suspect it's not big enough to matter. For Trump to declare himself winner is certainly reckless.
Important information. I would have suspected that they would be about the same. Unfortunately they don't include brown rice in the study; presumably it would have resulted in lower blood sugar levels than the white rice.

Looking below the main article note the mention of lentils -- probably much better than rice or pasta.
Fox News was not the "controlled oposition." Murdoch, the owner of Fox News, was Trump's original booster and Fox News's coverage of Trump's 2016 campaign is the reason Trump is even president.

For the past four years, Fox News has essentially operated as the propaganda arm of the Trump White House. Trump had a direct line to the owner of Fox News. Half of the Fox News commentators were personal advisors to Trump.
I am distinguishing between the popular vote...

I honestly don't recall much in the way of news about the popular vote projections. Probably because folks were more concerned with other things.
Dec 14th is a better deadline to watch. That's the date at which a state's "Certificates of Ascertainment" is due. If they miss this deadline, the electorate votes are forfeited.

Keep in mind some of these swing states don't have strong one-party control of the state legislatures, and there could be a strong appetite for a recount or closer scrutiny of the ballots.

No no that’s why you got downvoted. The media decides the election, not the Electoral College.
"Plain old hate speech" is subjective though.

May I censor those calling for my country to become more diverse? I consider that an explicit declaration of racial hatred and indirect incitement of violence.

May I censor those advocating abortions? I can hardly think of a more violent action than butchering an unborn baby.

I could go on. I'm sure you see my point.

Do what you will with your power, but don't insult us by claiming the moral high ground. And don't expect any favours when the pendulum swings back.
News organizations have always made the call before the vote was certified (hence the famous "Dewey Defeats Truman").
In life, only death and taxes are mathematically and legally certain
it is close
The big difference is that 2000 revolved around a disputed recount, in a race with a margin of fewer than 1000 votes. There will be recounts in this race, but:

(1) There's no reason to believe they'll change the outcome much (recounts in 2016 didn't) --- states have learned since 2000 and have moved away from faulty ballot designs.

(2) The recounts will be occurring in multiple states, and Trump needs to sweep them.

(3) The margins in those recounts are much bigger than in 2000 --- tens of thousands of votes, not hundreds.
I think I only saw projections for Dems retaining control (which was high). I think GOP gaining seats was always in the cards.

I think it’s interesting too how some of the qualitative predictions (like Sabatos crystal ball) were pretty close to the outcome in the Pres race.
Closer relations with China. Reverse on immigration. US attracts/accepts more foreign workers. Probably a raising dollar and lower stockmarket. The high taxes might see some flee high tax states/regions (living in New York city making 400k will cost you 60%+ of income tax) to lower cost states or out of country or remote.

Overall remote work should increase with a different lockdown tone at the federal level creating uncertainy in commercial real estate.
Which projection was off by 7 points?
Futher, Donald Trump's wikipedia page is currently fully-locked, a rare classification for a wikipedia page. Biden is currently only under extended-confirmed protection.

Of course this is necessary but one of my favorite pasttimes is to look at vandalism changes in the history, and I would have loved to see some of the stuff people came up with on either side.
Hey, I would encourage you to follow politics more closely! If you want a broad overview, I would start with the wikipedia page for Donald Trump. I'd also spend some time reading about media literacy and bias - your comment about Nobel Peace Prize nominations stands out as a bit of red flag that you may be uncritically repeating something you heard from a far-right editorial source. Good luck, there's a lot of information to synthesize, but this stuff is really important!
Just to add for the curious, the wiki on "President-elect of the United States" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President-elect_of_the_United_...
I'm fairly sure he wasn't antagonizing everyone. Mostly it seemed like coastal elite journalists and twitter mob that got the most antagonized.

Did US foreign policy get affected because Trump tweeted something mean?
I just realized that Trump could become presidential candidate again in 2024 for a second term. So it might not be over yet.
They don't matter. Biden's margin in PA is without those votes.
Well they’re going to try to challenge lots of mail-in ballots that were either processed without poll watchers being able to see the signatures, or allegedly backdated by USPS, for a start. The first suit will be filed on Monday according to Giuliani. We’ll see how far it goes, but should be fun.

This is just announced today so I’m not sure how “experts” could have weighed in already, whatever that means.
If it were only that, it could still be autonomic (breathe while not swallowing). The hypotheses in this thread seem likely: speaking, or hiding from by predators/prey.
Very wise, it sucks to end up trapped on an island first politically, then economically and finally socially.

The US understands that stick very well when the topic is its opponents.
Still a bit early to say "much more": Arizona can still flip (it's been inching ever closer and is at 0.6% difference at 90% counted) and Georgia has already announced a recount because it's so close.

If those do both actually end up in Trumps favor, that puts him only 11 electoral votes short. If the voting machine errors in Michigan do turn out to be a thing (and the error is large enough), or he wins legal battles there or in Pennsylvania, that's enough to flip the whole election.

It's a very long shot, but this isn't actually over yet until everything is counted and verified.
Joe Biden has added "president elect" to his bio. When Trump tweets that he won, Twitter flags it.
Not surprising at all given Wikipedia's political leanings. I wonder what Wikipedia says about Antifa?
You need both SSD and HDD, the latter for archival storage and data replication. And that only works at data center scale.
The Electoral College votes on the first Monday after the 2nd Wednesday in December; so the 14th. What happens on 6 January is Congress ratifying the electoral votes.

And it's the state legislatures that effectively elect their state's electors, which needs to be done before 14 December.
How I Lose 20 Pounds by Eating More in 2 Weeks’ Time?
That is patently false. There are no allegations at any level that would legally alter the election results.
You're not wrong, but arresting people for possession doesn't help them either. And I can definitely tell you drugs aren't hard to find as it is.
What I can't quite glean from the docs is how you can do row-based security, ie authZ on user ownership of a row when you're trying to filter by certain things other than the ID.

Another thing is mutations - does WunderGraph support mutations at all yet? Security for those is also even more important, as you might want to restrict what entities you can attach to the entity you're creating etc.

I guess the root of my question is how much business logic can you achieve with WunderGraph itself? It's probably not something that's necessary if I really think about it, if it just handles the authN and then passes tokens with claims nad user IDs to the data sources, Hasura/Postgraphile et al can handle the row-specific authZ and business logic, and then WunderGraph can just be the BFF for each app client. I'd still definitely use it in that setup, as the generated clients and federation subscriptions would be a marked improvement over Apollo for me.
It's coming either way. Once a country with a similar representitive system hits 80% urbanization, it's government tends to be more progressive, especially on certain hot topic policies like gun control.

You can already see how the popular vote for president is consistently Democrat. There is also a pact of states that promise to vote for the popular vote winner once their ranks have 270 electoral votes. A good visual way to view this divide is the map showing the county-by-county vote allocation.
>The fact that the presidential race is close enough to still be under contention days after election

There were a number of factors that pretty much guaranteed the delays we've seen, all of which had lots of press coverage long before election day[0]:

"There’s a good chance we won’t know who won the presidential election on election night. More people than ever are voting by mail this year due to the pandemic, and mail ballots take longer to count than ballots cast at polling places. But because each state has its own rules for how votes are counted and reported, some will report results sooner than others. Those disparate rules may also make initial returns misleading: The margins in some states may shift toward Democrats as mail ballots (which are overwhelmingly cast by Democrats) are counted, while states that release mail ballots first may experience a shift toward Republicans as Election Day votes are tallied."

It's extremely hard to make use of qualitative data without context.

For example, 36% of UK users may use an ad-blocker, and 90% of them may be a tech-oriented audience, which makes a different if your site is targeting moms.

I found the most valuable marketer's data to be qualitative data from people who've done something first-hand (I'm collecting such data on acquisition channels [1]). Qualitative data puts number-based-data in context and something you take take action on.

Yes. This is the way that the public choice theory of government explains the success of special interest groups - an issue may have a majority of voters against it but if a small minority care enough about it to change their votes over it (whereas the majority who disagree are unlikely to do so because they don’t care enough about it), it can make sense for politicians to offer strong support to unpopular special interest positions.

I suppose there’s a sort of deranged case where every issue a politician supports falls into this category though it’s probably not the norm.
> If people agree it was tumultuous why was the race still so close?

It wasn't all that close. Of six elections (including this one) since 2000, at least 3 and possibly 4 (votes are still being counted) were closer in popular vote, and 3 were closer in electoral vote (based on what has been called so far, regardless of how the uncalled states go.

But it was particularly actively contested, with both high turnout and high passions on both sides, which is exactly what “tumultuous” means.
The biggest problem I have is “legitimate” communications from companies I have nothing to do with.

I actually think that fragility and the things people actually call tech debt are two different things. No one cares if an architecture is perceived as clean and elegant, but takes a long time to implement anything (due to many levels of abstraction and indirection). Just as long as it's (perceived to be) clean and elegant! Tech debt is unfortunately rarely measured or quantified, it's usually a gut instinct.
History has shown that recounts rarely change anything beyond a few hundredths of a percent, if that (see: Florida 2000). The margins are wide enough, and there are enough states that tipped blue, that it is extremely unlikely as a matter of pure mathematics that there would be any change in outcome -- even if Trump's fans were granted every legal challenge on their wishlist.

Courts are generally loath to grant relief when the outcome wouldn't change. ("Void as moot.")
This is what happens when you let the far left grab power. Some of us already lived that. Now it's your turn.
Georgia and Pennsylvania don't have laws preventing faithless electors from voting against their state's winning candidate.

It's looking like the lead will be big enough that even in the (very) small chance things go wrong it won't matter.
in theory.

in practice, VCs are freer with legal fees, esp when bigger (big fund, corp, inexperienced, etc). article is right that lawyers reinterpret cap as 'target', so only choice is moving to VC's side, so any waste above cost of signing stock forms (...the excess) is borne by the VC. if it is say a corp vc who doesn't ultimately care, the inefficiency is kept out of the deal. if the VC doesn't want the inefficiency either, it is now squarely their responsibility. it can still get put into the invisible valuation math by the VC, but at least now in a comparable way across term sheets, and pressure for more competitive (efficient/low) pricing.

jumping legal for 0k-10k into 20k-100k can sound like nothing to the VC side, esp the bigger ones, or maybe a reader here who is a FAANG employee, but to a lean startup, that is significant headcount. deal efficiency at preseed/seed is a real thing.

No one really knows.

A big factor will be who wins the Senate, and that won’t be decided until January due to two run off elections in Georgia.

The two possible outcomes in the Senate will still leave questions about what, if any, additional stimulus legislation will be passed, and my guess is that this has the potential to impact the markets and exchange rates significantly.

There is no easy answer to your question, so I would start reading up on the potential outcomes and relevant legislation if it might have a material impact on you.

I think the big issue was the "margin of error" in many of these cases. For example, when Quinnipiac did a poll a few days before the election [1], they said Biden was winning Ohio by 4 points with a +-2.5 point margin of error... which happened to be very far off. And this wasn't isolated-–if memory serves me, Wisconsin was even further off?

Please point to where I gave advice.
Historically, when the President and at least one house of Congress are opposing parties, the federal government tends to be gridlocked except in time of national emergency (e.g., 9/11).

This, I believe, is why the markets are reacting rather optimistically to the election results. Market makers clearly believe that a Biden presidency and a Republican Senate will get very little done, pass very few new laws, and spend a lot of time quarreling. This allows the economy to essentially run on auto-pilot, which in a free market system is rather conducive to growth.

If however the Senate swings to the Democrats after all the votes are counted, it may be a different story.

Remember when slashdot was interesting? Keep dragging divisive topics into HN and it will turn into the sh!thole that slashdot is now. I'm not just talking about politics, an article about vim vs emacs is (usually) just as worthless.

There are places to discuss politics. But I come to HN regularly because the topics are usually about things that stand or fall on their own merits and inherently promote further exploration of a topic, often linking to related resources that readers may not be aware of.

There is nothing new in politics, it's the same competing agendas recycled over and over again. I worry HN is slipping more towards that genre of tribalistic topics that achieve nothing more than virtue signaling and mud slinging.

That’s not really a comparable situation. Right now, we are waiting on a recount in Georgia and the final results in North Carolina and Arizona, not to mention any court cases or recounts that inevitably arise. The media mostly called this because people got tired of waiting, IMO.

December 14th is the deadline to watch. That's the date at which the state must deliver the "Certificates of Ascertainment", signed by the governor. If they don't deliver by this date, the votes are forfeited.

From this point to Dec 14th we're likely to see some interesting legal proceedings before the supreme court, such as whether or not ballots received without a postmark after election day can be legally counted (this might have impact in certain counties in Michigan and Pennsylvania).

There’s a lot of work that needs to be done for mail-in votes. I only have first-hand experience with the German voting system, but from what I read the US system is similar: The actual ballot is in a sealed envelope. This envelope together with a signed paper (“Wahlschein” in Germany) is in a second envelope that goes in the mail. The process of counting that vote starts with opening the outer envelope and verifying that the ballot was issued to the person signing. Then verify that the inner envelope is properly sealed to ensure that the vote is actually secret. Collect the inner envelope with the actual filled-in ballot. No counting has happened yet, but this verification costs considerable time. All of this could be done even before Election Day with no effect on voter suppression - no one at that point can actually know the vote.

In theory, even counting could be done as long as no result is leaked, though there’d be a risk.

Explicitly not allowing the preprocessing - and as far as I followed the news, that’s what happened in PA - seems like a pretty clear cut case of “we want to draw the count out.” to me.
