A list of requirements to help make the OPs vision a reality might be:-

1. Separation of concerns (ie, make it trivial to separate the Data and the View components from the surrounding html clutter). Currently it can be a pain to extract data from the DOM.

2. Allow the Data component to express arbitrary data shapes, including at least:
- 2-D tables
- n-dimensional data tables
- groups of related tables and schema (for a relational database)
- sparse data sets
- lists
- trees
- graphs

A lisp-like representation of data would provide adaptability to arbitrarily shaped data.

3. Make it easy to use:-
The webpage coder would write
<html>
<head>
<data name="data1">...lisp-like-data-structure...</data>
</head>
<body>
<view name="view1" data="data1">...view-code...</view>
</body>
</html>

If no View-code was provided in the html then a default OS/browser View would be used.

3. Ideally HTML would provide native support for the Data and View primitives.
Failing that then it could be provided by a script (hosted on a single website, to ensure consistency of interpretation).

4. Ideally the OS would provide support for the Data and View primitives, in the GUI and in the command line.
Failing that then these could be provided as user programs.

5. Encourage webpage developers to use the new <data> and <view> primitives by deprecating <table> ;)
My doorbell broke months ago.

Eventually I decided I like it much better this way.
To comment on the app itself rather than the original title...

Predicting next day's cases doesn't seem like a good use for the wisdom of crowds. It's too easy, since there is so much inertia. (Basically all the errors here are from people not taking into account the biases from day of week). And the problem with predicting further into the future for a site like this would be that it will delay gratification for too long: I can wait until tomorrow to find out how well I did on today's predictions, but I probably don't care to come back in two weeks.
This was just to get the conversation started. It was very accurate that the Treaty of Versailles was inadequate, but us evaluating this concept is the same as people 100 years from now evaluating some random map on a Medium article that got 2 claps. Its relevance is not worth entertaining, while it can be used to see the sentiment of the day.
The Chinese have flotillas of hundreds of illegal fishing boats that travel across the globe to devastate local fish populations. They recently illegally entered the area surrounding the Galapagos to terrible effect.[1] So as sensible as this concept is, it needs enforcement, and at this point I’m not sure what, shy of direct violence, will get this to stop.

To me, I fail to see how "ads.linkedin" is possibly for "technical purposes." Pretty basic common sense and I don't need to apply some 'innocent before proven guilty in a court of law' standard to my own opinion.

Out of curiosity, why would they employ bots...when they could employ engineers?

The reason I point this out:

Hackers can simply disassemble the bots, better to have someone that knows how to engineer around the hackers
Things like guns and drugs are contentious though, because availability in one state of an "open borders" zone enables smuggling into other states, where they might be banned.

One could hope that the system would tend towards overall liberalism, but IME with the EU it's the opposite.

Over recent years, we have got mandatory registration of SIM cards right as an influential neighbor state did the same (official explanation by our government: because of terrorism threat, which is essentially nonexistent here), EU-wide ban on many useful chemicals which have been used in terror attack mostly in Britain and France, and I'm hearing that the Swiss (a Schengen member) are having their own problems with the EU over firearm regulations, even if they aren't an EU state.
Fishing is not amenable to enclosure. Unfortunately that's how our society has managed resources in the field for the last 500 years. Worse, the ocean laughs at Westphalian borderisms. It's not only our economic traditions: our political institutions are not up to the task. Stalinism relies on borders too.

We have some arrogance about our recent social achievements, as a species. In a few centuries we went from clashing empires to a semblance of cooperative and democratic internationalism with a general if superficial repudiation of racism and imperialism. Some people, both pro- and anti-capitalist, have suggested that we are within sight of a long-term equilibrium of social development. It's humbling in these circumstances to remember that we still don't even really know what to do about... fish.
Goodbye, Mr. Trebek. You will be missed.
As long as the content is coming to your eyes, you can use another device to record it.

If you have a separate phone that you use as a second factor for your 2FA, you have a convenient way of photodocumenting any screen that you see.

People shakily recording their TV doesn't win any awards, but is evidence enough in a serious pinch.
Textbook "tragedy of the commons".

I understand Iceland and New Zealand has systems with property rights for fishing grounds, which has solved these problems.
Compliant is anything which government do not fine companies for under GDPR. Non-compliant is anything they do. Any other definition isn't relevant in practice. So far I haven't heard of governments fining over this and so it is effectively compliant. So if you have an issue with this behavior complain to your government representatives.

RIP Alex. Your show had a profound influence on me as a young adult.
An infinite loop as you described however is not really an error condition; in fact this is the premise of the Halting Problem [1] which is not solvable as far as we know. There's no way for the media provider to know if the loop will ever resolve and it may just be the case that you have an absolutely massive photo library that takes a lot of time to load. You could argue that they could add some sort of background timer that triggers an error if the provider takes too long to deliver data, but then what should that timeout be? What if the user's device is just naturally slow or the photo library is stored on some sort of external storage device (SD card maybe) with awful bandwidth? If your timeout is too low, it will prevent users from legitimately accessing their photo library; if it's too high, it ruins the point of having a timeout in the first place.

In this sort of scenario the better choice rather than implementing error detection is just fixing the original problem that caused an infinite loop so users don't need to fix anything in the first place. I think the reason why debugging/resolving issues seems so complicated in modern times is in part because we already did fix most/all the "easy" issues from the past generation -- the only remaining issues are extremely hard to catch or, in the case of the Halting Problem you experienced, mathematically impossible.

RIP, Alex. You were one of a kind and inspired millions. I am incredibly glad to have had the opportunity to meet you (and grateful to my wife for making it happen, as I would never have indulged myself). You played a huge role in making nerdy cool, in addition to bringing credibility back to trivia game shows.

You were an incredibly kind, witty, and passionate role model. Your ability to be simultaneously no-nonsense yet fully human was was second to none. You will be missed greatly.

(For Jeopardy! fans, I believe the show producers approached Jennings earlier this year and he expressed interest in taking over as host.)

Classic tragedy of the commons.

> The tragedy of the commons is a situation in a shared-resource system where individual users, acting independently according to their own self-interest, behave contrary to the common good of all users by depleting or spoiling the shared resource through their collective action. The concept originated in an essay written in 1833 by the British economist William Forster Lloyd, who used a hypothetical example of the effects of unregulated grazing on common land (also known as a "common") in Great Britain and Ireland. The concept became widely known as the "tragedy of the commons" over a century later after an article written by Garrett Hardin in 1968. In a modern economic context, "commons" is taken to mean any shared and unregulated resource such as the atmosphere, oceans, rivers, ocean fish stocks, or even an office refrigerator.

To me the wild thing is the first sentence:

>IN 2018, THE most recent year for which relevant data are available, people consumed more fish than they did either pork or beef or poultry.

The lede isn't buried, it's right there, but it goes unremarked. We already converted land mammals to human food:

> Earth's LAND MAMMALS By Weight

> A graph in which one square equals 1,000,000 tons. Dark grey squares represent humans, light gray represent our pets and livestock, and green squares represent wild animals. The squares are arranged in a roughly round shape, with clusters for each type of animal. Animals represented: Humans, cattle, pigs, goats (39 squares), sheep, horses (29 squares), elephants (1 square). There are other small, unlabeled clusters also. It is clear that humans and our pets & livestock outweigh wild animals by at least a factor of 10.

If we're pulling out more fish from the sea than all those pigs, cows, chickens, ducks, etc., that's gonna leave a mark, eh?
Sorry, I meant the idea that we're on the right side is more real for fishing than taxation.
I can't say with confidence but I suspect using government to artificially create the conditions.

Yes, really. This PR partially reverted this behavior (or rather made it less intrusive): https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/54115/files , but from there you can easily track "rebar3 hermecity patch", which had introduced it.

Isn't that common sense? Why do we need The Economist to tell us that?

If seas were privatized (or leased) there would be no more fishing than necessary.

The split keyboard, if you already touch type, really doesn’t require any retraining at all. Give it a try. Going orthinear is really tough though.
Get to know your neighbors, local businesses, make ties to people. Attend city council meetings or whatever similar opportunities you have to get involved in minutiae. Pick an issue you care about like education, parks, bike lanes, whatever, and approach advocacy and learning like a hobby. The more people get engaged with face-to-face networking or organizing, the more the city is empowered to change. A lot of the real or perceived random violence and intractable social problems are really predictable outcomes of racist and impoverishing policies and habits.
I'm done with android. The final straw for me was when i needed to call 911 for my grandmother and android thought it was a good idea to play notification sounds in the middle of the conversation. Couldn't even hear the operator over all the loud DING DING DING.
For me, the greatest pain of postgresql is upgrading between major versions. You need to install both versions to the same db server at the same time and then Tthe data must be copied (using pg_upgrade) between the two clusters, something that leads to downtime (that is proportional to the size of the data ie how much time it needs to copy and run some maintenance commands). If you consider that our cluster hosts databases for like 15 apps and each needs to be changed to display some "maintenance mode" home page you'lln understand my frustration and fear of major upgrades...

I know there are some ways that reduce the downtime, like hard linking the data between the clusters instead of version, or using logical replication between the clusters and switching to the new version cluster. The problem is that since I am not a full time DBA (and my organisation doesn't have one) I don't trust myself with these techniques and rely to the trusted pg_upgrade method that will leave the old cluster as it was with all its data intact in case anything went wrong!

The only good thing is that postgresql supports each major version for a lot of time (5 years) so such updates don't need to be very frequent :)
Depends on how bad you consider the issue:
1) Ballot is sent to dead person -> not great, but I think this is apparently not illegal (and makes sense, since people don't die on schedules, and don't need to notify voter registration when they do)

2) Ballot also sent to alive person at same address with same name -> good

3) Living person fills out their ballot, turns it in -> good

4) Living person throws out dead person's ballot -> good

5) Vote counting accidentally records Living person's vote under Dead person's entry -> bad, but pretty easy to imagine as clerical error

6) Living person's entry never has a vote counted -> good (sort of, as living person's vote only gets counted once, just under wrong name

Result:
A) No change in voting results (living person's vote gets counted once)

But
B) Is this fraud? -> my opinion, no. There was no difference in vote count, likely no intention to make the mistake. If it was intentional fraud that's pretty useless

C) Is this system? -> Not sure, the list of thousands of 'possible dead people' certainly looks like worth investigating, but unless some real reports are gonna go look at every one I'm not sure there's gonna be a real answer for all of them

"If they had the means to detect the error" -> quite possibly because they're busy doing other things, like counting the votes. "skeptical that they would have detected the error" is pretty speculative, but again an error that results in no vote count difference is not the kind they should be correcting. They should focus on correcting errors that affect the vote count, right? (ie, execute the main thread rather than spend cycles garbage collecting. Garbage collect when the main thread is idle.)

Because Austria was a German state. We are talking 1920, mind. A national Austrian identity separate from the wider German one did not develop until after the second world war.

Growing up, My dad wasn’t allowed to make personal calls at work.

Calling and hanging up didn’t count, so that is what we would do. We would know to call back.

Years later I ran reports for call centers. I would run data every which way.

Found an agent that would dial a disconnect number hundreds of times a day.

Went to big boss, as I couldn’t figure out the rational.

He took one look at it, and cursed “well know we know how he has top numbers.

Found so many ways agents would mess with metrics
Except all that is bull. Look at Iceland and the Cod Wars. Massive areas of the ocean can be pulled into the direct control of nations and it would have an enormous impact on the oceans.
Yes, you can buy a brand new BMPCC 6K camera for under $2000.

It shoots RAW video. And directly onto a USB SSD drive, so you don't need to spend a fortune buying ridiculously expensive fast memory cards.

For comparison, RED 512GB mini-mag alone is $2,400. And it's just a regular $60 SSD repackaged.
Pro tip: if the loan is paid off, go to your local dmv and get them removed from the title as a lienholder. I bought a 1971 motorcycle that still had the bank on the title as a lienholder, and it was a royal pain for both myself and the seller. If it wasn't an extremely rare bike, I would have backed out of the purchase.

A bank will repo a car if it isn't paid, but if the loan is paid off then their name can be removed from the title. This doesn't happen automatically in all states though, so you may need to do some legwork. However, when the time comes to sell the car having the bank's name on the title is almost worse than a salvage title. Most car dealers will absolutely refuse to take the vehicle in on trade, for example.
Google and Apple already have the power to remove apps from your phone, I don’t doubt they could do everything else, should they want to.

Additionally, what this app does has definitely been possible forever through device management certificates; this is just an application of it.

It allows you to move them really far apart if you want. I actually put my mouse (that I use a lot less than the keyboard) in between the two halves.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that unlike most split keyboards, this one snaps together such that you wouldn’t even know it is split. This is useful when you do want to pick it up or when you let someone else type on it
Yes, it's a good point.

However, it sounds like an unenforceable thing. As secret votes have been around since ancient Greece, one could have said "I voted for X" when the real vote went for Y, and no-one would've been any wiser.

We need to implement Pigovian taxes that is related to the number of fish. Ie taking up fish is not free it’s related to the amount of fish in the ocean. If the fish is endangered the price of fishing increases exponentially for that species.

Proposals for such inoperable [perpetual motion] machines have become so common that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has made an official policy of refusing to grant patents for perpetual motion machines without a working model. The USPTO Manual of Patent Examining Practice states:

With the exception of cases involving perpetual motion, a model is not ordinarily required by the Office to demonstrate the operability of a device. If operability of a device is questioned, the applicant must establish it to the satisfaction of the examiner, but he or she may choose his or her own way of so doing.

I think there is a big misconception about what Emacs is (or is not). Many see it as an editor with advanced capabilities, and then they start comparing it to IDEs or editors like VS Code and the like, and finally they think Emacs falls short in comparing to these tools.

The thing is: Emacs is so much more than editing. Just to give an example: I keep a list of meds for my retired parents in on org-table, and every few weeks I need to request a prescription from their doctor and order the meds from their pharmacist. I have a few lines of Elisp to select the meds that my parents need, generate a message for the pharmacist, generate a Fax document for the doctor, and a bunch of tasks (* TODO Send fax to Doctor, * TODO Waiting for prescription from Doctor, * TODO Send prescription to pharmacist, * TODO Waiting for meds from pharmacist, etc) in my org-agenda task list. Triggered with one key combo. By being able to start python or shell scripts from within Lisp code, I am able to automate everything that I run on my Mac, and pass data from one workflow to another.
We're slipping into a whose worse argument. OK, Obama/Biden admin was largely style over substance, and I can't think of anything major they got accomplished. His whole "I'm going to change the way the game is played" was just bluster. Nothing came of it for eight years. He got incremental stuff done like any other president. Obamacare was a giant gift to the insurance industry. And he got a peace prize on top of that? Are you kidding me?
The effect of GSM phones on analog audio equipment was actually an oversight in defining the standard. Fully compliant equipment had that effect.
