So let's come up with a couple of scenarios here.

Probably the hardest one to catch is where they have access to the voter rolls and submit ballots in the names of people who were legitimately registered but didn't vote. The stealthier way to do that would be to have real-time access and then inject the ballots at the last minute in the names of people they know didn't vote, so there wouldn't be duplicates.

The scattershot method would be to predict who isn't likely to vote, e.g. because they didn't vote last time, and submit ballots in those names. Then they would have some duplicate ballots, but if the predictions about who wouldn't vote were mostly right, they could submit thousands of ballots and only have a small percentage of duplicates. There would be some duplicates, but then what do you do? You could throw out the duplicates, but one of the two was a legitimate ballot, and the majority of fraudulent ballots wouldn't be duplicated and would still get counted. It's also not obvious how to distinguish between whether a small percentage of duplicated ballots out of millions cast are a result of a single act of intentional fraud or many independent acts of incompetence.

Another alternative would be to register people who didn't request to be, e.g. people who are institutionalized and a worker at the institution is in a position to register them and then intercept their ballots and submit them.

Some privileged positions would allow someone to do this at greater scale, e.g. postal workers. A postal worker in a high density city could have many thousands of residences on their route, each with multiple eligible voters. Get a copy of the voter rolls, register every eligible voter on their route who isn't already in there, use their real social security numbers obtained from a copy of the Equifax leak or similar, then request mail-in ballots to take and submit.
>I don't think a source-less opinion from an anonymous internet commenter (even if it's on Hacker News) is a proper rebuttal of a rebuttal

You need a source attached to agree with an argument that a vlog is not a rebuttal of a paper?

>Sources are what count. She shares many.

Sources are a dime a dozen. Bad/happy/fradulent papers also have tons of sources, and even peer reviewers don't ever bother to check them...
If Apple is so good at chip design why don't they just pivot to that? Then we can all standardize on the single (objectively superior) software stack that is Android. There is a lot of money to be made with licensing and they wouldn't need to run a huge supply chain anymore. It doesn't seem right that the best architecture in the world is locked in to a very specific ecosystem when the whole world could be benefiting from their innovations.
Part of privilege or equality is free association.

A lot of people want to freely associate just like anybody else without it being seen as ironic.
> The Steele dossier includes information from Russian sources. It was not "paid for" by Russia.

Literally in USA today today my man: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/11/10/we-d...

Quote: When the FBI obtained the dossier in September 2016, compiled by a former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, Comey told lawmakers he was unaware Steele's primary source was a suspected Russian agent.

A Russian agent is someone paid by Russia. Hence the dossier was sourced from misinformation spread by a paid Russian agent.
It's the password required to decrypt the secret key that you would not need to disclose. They'll likely end up with the encrypted secret key, but no way to access it. That's because the password is something you know, and divulging it could mean self-incrimination.

Courts have ruled, for example, that the police can compel a suspect to put their face or finger up to a phone to unlock it through biometric means, but a suspect cannot be compelled to divulge their PIN. That's why using biometrics, while convenient, is a bad idea.
Should we also penalize people who cycle to work, and pack their lunch at home? On paper they are no different than people working from home.

It's not just for politics. For example, it's used frequently in public health. There have been a ton of polls about mask wearing, whether someone would take a vaccine etc. that help guide public health policy makers and give them a semblance of an idea of where the public is at versus just guessing.

I'm not entirely certain that you're defending the gear. Or blaming the users. In case you are, I'll share two of my personal experiences.

I hot fixed the VVPAT for my poll site's touchscreen. The cheap bent metal got warped, preventing correct operation. Imagine you had to change the thermal paper for a cash register made by lowest bid contractor designed by grifters who've never seen a cash register. These units were worse.

I attended a handful of the "logic and accuracy" tests. One time, both the printer and memory card reader failed, of the the unit randomly chosen for testing. So they swamped parts and cards until they got it to work. Deemed a success. In truth, the only thing proven was that one of their printers could make marks on paper, given enough fiddling.

Your second paragraph begins with "The main reason is that" by what follows is not really a reason, though it's an interesting tidbit. When kosher and/or halal adherents accept the others' standards, it's because they believe it is at least a strict as their own. Kind of like how a vegetarian will eat food labeled as vegan.

But like another commenter pointed out, interpretations of these rules vary widely among practitioners so making blanket statements about who might eat what is difficult.

if by quality of public education you mean the quality of the floor. which is kind of my point-- i think the people at the ceiling can raise the tide for all boats, and the "randomly choose the benevolent leader" strategy is an explicit rejection of the idea that people can be distinguished or qualified in any way for anything.

What is up with constitutions in that part of the world?

Does anyone know why articles for maintaining state unity, conflicting with and undermining all rights in those constitutions, appear do commonly?

At one point I thought China had a rational history of dis-unity to support its constitution, but neighboring countries are the same.

Is it the derivative of stage I communism that requires it and it just stays there as the country integrates a market based economy?
(a) it doesn't quantify what level of impact these diagnosis talk of ("anxiety" can be very mild),

(b) doesn't qualify what kind of "survivor" we're talking about. Are people that were force-fed tubes to breath counted, or are people who just got it light and had just mild symptoms counted?

(c) "The study also found that people with a pre-existing mental illness were 65% more likely to be diagnosed with COVID-19 than those without" - was this properly accounted for in the results?
I liked how an election advocate buddy said it one time:

"GWB doesn't lose his right to speech when he makes another gaff. Under no circumstances should a voter lose their right to vote for a mistake."

I feel like it's up to the consumer how much he wants to be influenced by ads.

I use an ad blocker online. I never see ads. I rarely shop on Amazon because of the counterfeit risk and overall mediocre satisfaction. When I do it's for something specific that I've researched in advance.

I don't watch TV and I have Youtube Premium so I don't see ads there.

I do most of my shopping at local retailers and buy the brands I've bought for years.

Companies die on average after about 15 years. IBM had a set of core principles that helped it survive, even through tough times like the depression. IBM was known for its excellent management training (ask about the Monkey lecture) and promoting from within.

In 1995, they hired Lou Gerstner (aka the cookie monster) from Nabisco as CEO. He did not share the core principles. My whole department was laid off. It was amusing to have an exit interview (aka getting fired) sitting across from a manager with a sign that said, in essence, IBM doesn't fire. They used to try to contact other managers to find a "better fit" for your skills. Gerstner basically felt that unemployment was a better fit.

After that the company was lost. It has never recovered from Gerstner. It never will.
Leveraging General Adversarial Networks for material sciences
I was under the impression that this was never a software problem, just that they are attempting to fix the problem with software.

If you get a faulty AoA sensor, or maintenance installs it poorly, there is nothing the software can do to fix that.

The problem was dual AoA sensors were sold as an additional feature instead of a base requirement.

Since the problem was not caused by software, the best you can do with software is to try and build some workarounds.

I think the only way to fix this with software would be to use the other AoA sensor from the secondary MCAS, making the backup system no longer fully redundant, but that's just a guess.

Would be interested in feedback if this is accurate.

At any rate, the software will never be 100%. The biggest change in regards to safety is that pilots are now aware they can turn the MCAS off. Which is the necessary knowledge that would have prevented both crashes.
I don't think that's a problem with Apple. I have a Dell XPS with an i9 in it, work gave me, i don't use it because idling in Windows the fans ramp up... If I use a laptop I end up using my personal Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme (gen 1) which doesn't have fans trying to take off into space.

Your argument hinges on interpreting it exactly as YOU read it, while the grandparent argument only requires that multiple readings be possible. As multiple readings are demonstrably possible, your logic shows flaws.

Historical fact is determined by examining sources for how the authors and other contemporary people interpret them, not applying your own snap judgements to them.

Yes, that's what the parent said.
A constitution anywhere is just a piece of paper. What matters is not what's written, but rather that folks in power choose to abide by it.

Xi is a totalitarian, and he has his plans, and no piece of paper or law will stand in his way. Extremist states have ways of retrospectively crafting laws that justify what they've done.
I don't think actual human beings want the purchase of a toothbrush to turn into a potentially life-long decision.

Nonsense. Consider where government jobs are--and the massive economic effects of those jobs: there are substantially more federal government jobs (on a per capita basis) in the cities than the rural areas.

Seeing as the article is about the NYT newsroom, it's not limited to the readership. And the article directly says it's not just the readers: "a large portion of the paper’s audience, a number of its employees, and the president himself saw it as aligned with the #resistance."
The non-programming programmer thing is kind of astonishing.

Are there actual CS programs somewhere where people can graduate without actually writing any code? Maybe theory, HCI, or hardware tracks? Those could still be great employees.

And don't many candidates have code on github where you can just look at the commit log and ask them about the code they wrote?

Moreover, tech companies seem to be infatuated with awful technical interviews that not only make you write code but often require you to solve some difficult algorithm puzzle at the same time.
> you're put into isolation and quarantine for a minimum of 14 days

Many countries have the same measures in place if you come into contact with someone who later tests positive, and then require a negative test before you are 'released', so it should be easy to study how much an affect quarantine alone has.

The Rust business appears to be stuff to generate compile-time constants identifying addresses of peripheral registers for (Rust) code written to run on the core. Apparently the addresses change as you add and remove various peripheral gadgets.

It is doing AES rounds sequentially. It might be that real-time generation of round keys uses up a lot of LUTs.

Great writeup.

I am very surprised that police officers transport the ballots. When I was a poll judge, we transported everything ourselves, in pairs. Sheriffs did do traffic control and such at central count, like at a sporting event.
I just don't get it. There are legitimate issues you can bring up about china. Crazy silly propaganda pieces aren't going to cut it. What happened to the ughyur propaganda nonsense? Did that get aged out of the propaganda cycle? Did the "nazi genocide" turned into "cultural genocide" turned into camps turned into reeducation centers not work out too well for you? Now we are on to the mongols? Can't get John Oliver to do another propaganda piece?

Bitter winter is an anti-china propaganda organization created just 2 years ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CESNUR#Bitter_Winter

The funny bit here is that just a few months ago these same propagandists were calling Xi the new genghis khan or was it new xitler?

All this propaganda does is make it blatant obvious that western actors are trying to destabilize china. It actual works in china's favor.

Edit: And of course the only comment with sources pointing out the obvious propaganda gets flagged.
We do take a reducetarian approach to murder, it's called ethical warfare. For a number of reasons most people accept that warfare is a reality today, despite wishing it wouldn't happen. Even so, they attempt to minimize the damage where possible, and they attempt to create rules limiting how evil war should get.

Same in terms of delivery. It was bad for awhile, but got better a few months back. I'm in the southwest; local warehouse is about 30-40 miles out but not everything is in the local warehouse so I often get stuff from other states' warehouses. Still getting the 2-3 day thing in general for those, 1-2 if local.
It depends on the state. For example, Massachussetts has semi-open primaries. If you're registered R and show up at the primary, you get an R ballot. If you're registered D, you get a D ballot. If you're registered "Unaffiliated", they ask you which ballot you'd like. That would be something like 55% of MA voters, last I checked.

Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_primaries_in_the_United_S... it looks like 17 states have completely open primaries. 4 more are like Massachusetts. 3 more have open or semi-open primaries on the Democratic side only.
It isn’t really more advanced as it is different. What typescript achieves with structural typing it loses in terms of good error messages and the encapsulation benefits of nominal typing.

I’ve gotten used to typescript, but I still enjoy using C#. Some things I really miss in C# (limited operator overloading) that will never come to typescript (not because of the type system, but because of javascript source compatibility).
Ask HN: Does each individual have a social duty to better themselves?
All collective issues require individual action. Whether that action be a change in behavior (climate change) or a change in mindset (critical thinking).

I wonder if it follows that each individual has a duty to others to always develop themselves? We see this "duty" pop up in a economic or political sense - "study and get a good job"/"serve your country".

Only in religious, spiritual or philosophical texts do I see any reference to a duty to be morally/ethically better.

Why hasn't duty for individual progress and betterment become prevalent in society?

For PA

Joe Biden: 3,376,367
Donald Trump: 3,326,687
Jo Jorgensen: 77,922

So, for every Jorgensen voter, there are approx. 43 Biden voters.

I mean, if mail-ins were proportional, you'd expect Jorgensen to get what, between 100 and 200 mail-in ballots? But we know that Biden has a much higher ratio of mail-in ballots than Trump, and maybe Jorgensen voters are closer to Trump than Biden, in their voting habits?

Just speculation. Same goes for Kanye West. Who knows how many of those votes were serious and planned, and how many were just for the "lols" at the polling station.

Points is - both Jorgensen and West are so few compared to the rest, that seeing just tens to a couple of hundred votes per TEN thousand doesn't really seem out of place.

> The fingerprint on the yubikey is really just a possession check for the yubikey in case it was stolen.

And one that only depends on the tamper-resistance of the hardware.

It's possible to use error correcting codes to extract deterministic secrets from fuzzy data like fingerprints, but no one (virtually no one?) implements that.

Instead, the fingerprinte reader has some cleartext fingerprint fingerprints that it compares the fingerprint to and just makes an accept/reject decision. Extract that data and you can make an acceptable input, or glitch the processing and you can just bypass it.

Presumably it's better than the button that literally any touch activates, but I think a conservative security analysis would pretty much just treat it like a button.

Do you not think that the mainstream Republican party has moved radically rightward over the past 12 years?

It's not spending its energy discussing Laffer curves and energy policy, and whether or not someone can be fired from their job for being gay, or if we should invade another Middle Eastern country anymore. It's spending its energy seriously talking about QAnon, and how the COVID pandemic is over, and and how there's a vast liberal conspiracy that destroyed the integrity of this country's elections, and how their president will think about whether or not he will step down if he were to lose the election.

These aren't weird views held by a bunch of powerless cranks on the party's fringe. This is the sort of stuff that the party bet the farm on this year, and has largely paid off with the voters.

In any sane world, an impartial observer would look at that, and conclude that it is all absolutely crazy. But we no longer live in a sane world, so there's now no shortage of people apologizing for, cheerleading, or just ignoring that kind of behaviour in their elected officials.
