The Daily Signal is published by the highly partisan Heritage Foundation and this person's account does not appear to be substantiated by any other evidence. The person who witnessed the events he relayed may be a lawyer, but he is not an election lawyer and also not from PA, so his specific knowledge of their rules and regulations may be lacking.

Assuming the person making these claims accurately relayed his observations, what he saw sounds just as likely to be workers setting up & testing the machines for proper functionality.

Of course, there's a chance that's not the case, and something else was going on. But lacking evidence to the contrary, this account seems explainable by something other than election fraud.
Ignoring the problems with this pop article:

> This argument and the other regarding protein powders not being "real food" stands beyond reason to me. If you're eating vitamins or protein in food or in a pill, what would the difference be? Are smoothies or soups not food?

Nutrition studies are quite difficult to perform, and the biology of digestion is not well understood. Certainly different foods eaten in different ways are absorbed by your body differently. Your smoothie example is a good one: fibrous vegetables travel farther through the gut* and their nutrients are absorbed differently than when the fibres are chopped up so that they travel through the lower intestine faster.

> ...The only way I could imagine they're useless is if the the vitamins themselves are structurally different and indigestible?

Likewise an iron supplement alone (or just iron from a piece of meat) will not raise iron levels as much as when taken with lemon juice or, yes, vitamin C.

You can measure this effect for yourself by measuring glucose rise when eating various foods: a raw apple, for example, vs the same mass of apple sauce vs the same mass of apple juice.

* of course it all makes its way the same distance from mouth to anus! I mean arriving intact, or less processed, in the lower intestine and spending a longer time there.
Apple can get away with it because the devs are willing to put up with it.
True, it's one of the downsides. You have to also be in the 'short-lived branches' camp for it to work well - which you should!
That's because I'm trying to remove any emotional or moral appeals from the answer and try to focus on the rational answers, because people usually don't respond to moral appeals if they don't hold the same morality worldview as one would. It's like both sides not understanding each other, such as pro choice and pro life people.
He explained it in the article and it makes sense:

> The party affiliation is used as a signal that something fishy might be going on if the ratio of R to D is very different from the votes recorded.
But none of those sources says that e.g. search or planning are not AI fields. That was your original claim, if I'm not mistaken? Anyway it doesn't matter. It's a very strange thing to say and I was just trying to understand what made you say it- strictly out of curiousity.

I too can quote Hinton -from memory and without a link. I remember him saying that the next big thing in AI will come from a grad student who distrusts everything he (Hinton) has ever said. Unfortunately, I won't be that grad student- I haven't heard everything that Hinton has ever said.
it strikes me that the serious bug here is the design of GDM to check accounts-daemon for existing accounts, and if that check times out, start account creation. Regardless of the nominal protections afforded by the system, if you rely on a daemon that accepts unprivileged user input to provide security-critical answers, and fail open if it doesn't respond, that's a bad idea.

This comparison is vs. InfluxDB. This thread is about a new project called InfluxDB IOx. It's under development and we're not producing builds, so any kind of operational comparison would be very premature.

Its architecture is dramatically different than InfluxDB. You can do a comparison of the design goals. Read the post this thread refers to. I think you'll find it has very different goals than Postgres, an OLTP database, and Timescale, which is built on top of it.

Thermals and sustained performance. I expect 10 W passive CPU in MBA body to throttle quickly - I now have 2017 12" MB, and for about 60(winter)/15(summer) seconds of sustained load it's the most awesome little machine in the world, and then becomes a slog.

It has 7W CPU in slightly smaller body than new Air, so I expect Air's performance review to be 'the story about throttling'.

I'll be honest, I was really hoping they'd pull a DeX-like thing out of their pocket at the end of that presentation. "Oh, those iPhones you all have? Especially the new ones with MagSafe chargers? Yeah, plug it into/set it on this lapdock/stationary dock and it's running macOS."

Yeah, I know they'd never do it. It's not their style. But they're in the best position to do that well out of any of the major phone manufacturers.

> So how is dropping privileges done correctly to avoid getting killed by the user?

I was wondering this too. What is the way to "correctly" drop privileges? Is it even possible to drop privileges within a process in a way that's immune to this?
You know what, my mistake actually, but the tone seems unnecessarily derisive. I was looking at the 13" and scrolled all the way down to see 4 thunderbolt ports, but that's on the "2.0GHz Intel Core i5 Quad-Core Processor with Intel Iris Plus Graphics", so not the M1 processor. I guess that shouldn't be too surprising that they're still selling it, but I'll return to being peeved about the regression to 2 ports.
An example of this that I noticed just recently:

Here's the doc for a deprecated `launch` method of `Process`: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/process....

It's deprecated, and there's no note on what the replacement should be. Xcode, however, has a hint to use the `run` method. This isn't documented anywhere. If I don't use Xcode, I wouldn't know about this replacement.

And here's the replacement document for `run`: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/process....

"No overview available".

This is beyond embarrassing.
Why are you confident that this is not a placebo effect?
I think it's more of a possibility that a date is transactional than it is anything like a tendency.

Like, lots of people have spent lots of words talking about how problematic it is to overtly treat it as transactional.
The argument probably is that in various populations certain vitamin deficiencies are so prevalent (e.g. vitamin D in African Americans) that you can pretty much assume that a random person is most likely to be deficient in one or more categories and would benefit from a supplement to fix that.

Of course, that argument is valid only if the supplement would actually fix the prevalent deficiency, as you refer in your example about vitamin D.
I don't know how votes work in PA, but where I'm from the voter picks the machine.
Then I guess I'd be happy to take them even if I get "some benefits and nutrients from them", super easy to take, relatively inexpensive and like I said, I do take them with various foods, as you said sometimes nutrients are absorbed best in combination with others, so my logic is sometimes I might have breakfast containing more vitamin C, this day I'll get some extra iron, seems like a win to me?

I'm not a doctor so maybe my views are overly simplistic? Seems like a good insurance policy to me more than anything else. I still strive to eat a healthy diet, but why not cover all bases?
I had a friend that was a high school drop out that got a job with an A+ video game company with no experience. An ex girlfriend got a job as a Designer at Microsoft with a portfolio of a essentially stick figures. An old college friend got a PM job at google with a sports science degree. SPORTS SCIENCE. This isn't about skill, it is about falling in line.

Those people aren't in my life anymore because of that. These people succeeded in life without trying and is unacceptable for companies to hire in a world with an abundance of skill.

Forget about passion. That has never mattered when people with not understanding of how software works gets a position in a software company. Plenty of people are passionate about tech, but also want to work in operations.
You'd have to trust their key in that case. Otherwise they could be collecting your biometrics for reuse later on. Between trusted friends - probably ok. Secure facility - probably also ok (we already share the fingerprint readers). For public use... I wouldn't touch that.
I think Poland is better off not using Cyrillic for political reasons. One less reason for Russia to exert its influence by preaching pan-slavism and "russkiy mir".

On a practical side - even if you know Cyrillic, lowercase letters are kinda awkward to read at a glance - very blocky, way less a/descenders, many look alike and they are a lazy copy of upper case.

And Cyrillic cursive is a nightmare.
I guess you could fork first?
Might makes right, so sure, if you were able to enslave someone, why wouldn't you be able to keep them? You just have to fend off from people who'd want to take them away from you, right? After all, we do that with pets, they're our slaves basically.

It's clear that you're trying to say that animals and people are equivalent, that animals are slaves. If I don't believe in that world view, you can't make me care. You could show rational reasons like, eating a vegetarian diet is better to combat climate change, which I accept, but having a moral appeal doesn't move me to change my meat-eating ways.

If an alien can overpower us, sure I'd try to escape because I obviously want to live, but I'd be under no delusion that I deserve to not die. The alien captured and wants to eat me, so that's going to be what will happen. There is a difference between how I feel, what would happen, and what is morally right. I posit that morals don't matter in this case, only power over other beings, which the aliens have over us in this scenario.

Said another way, why should morals matter in this case? I'm genuinely asking, because whenever I ask this, people don't give an actual answer and instead say something like, it's the right thing to do or it reduces suffering, but this uses morality to explain why morality matters, sort of like using the Bible to ask why things that are said in the Bible are true.

Generally agreed. This specific issue seems most likely to be a problem in a computer lab environment, where you'd likely be detected if you tried to take the case off the machine, but might be able to get away with anything that looks like normal computer use behavior.
It is sad.

Is the solution to ban selling the reaction, or is the solution to work towards a society where fewer people are inclined to buy it?

It's probably not the case that the availability of the reaction is the thing that leads to the hollow transaction.
I wish there was a tool to sandbox Windows applications; not primarily for security reasons but mostly because of the immense amount of trash left behind all over %APPDATA% and other random disk locations, the registry, etc.

I wish I could start a command line (terminal) that will virtualize the file system in a "workspace" such that any crap that would otherwise pollute my system drive ends up in a neat box on my "work" drive (I know there's a Windows Sandbox thing but that explicitly deletes everything on close, whereas I'd want to go back into that workspace later to continue work on the project).
Scary - you would have to trust EVERY fingerprint reader not to capture your fingerprint AND you have to trust that you don't leave it anywhere for pickup. It's very hard to change your fingerprint as well, so having images of it out there is not good in general.

an example for `PreviewProvider#previews` uses `.previewDevice("iPhone X")`, and i'm guessing that that string gets turned into a `PreviewDevice` via one of those `fromBlahLiteral` methods it implements? my guess is that `PreviewDevice` is some kind of opaque handle thingy (which is why it has no visible members/methods) but that... really should be documented
I'm not sure it's "clearly" sincere in this case, since he also had a persona as "a rock climber known to others in the area as a politically progressive vegan named Jesse James." Though I don't see any reason to give him the benefit of the doubt here either.
I don't disagree with you, but I've been attacked for stating too bluntly that "dating is a polite form of prostitution." (You will note I swore off "dating" nearly four decades ago -- as stated in a separate comment by me here.)
> SF strikes me as one that may never be what it once was

The history of SF is literally that it never reverts exactly to any of its previous incarnations. After the gold rush, it didn't return to being a sleepy fishing village, or whatever it was, after the 1906 earthquake, it didn't rebuild exactly as before, nor did it after the 1989 earthquake (where the rebuild only ended a few years ago).

When you say "what it once was", are you referring to the Haight/Ashbury scene of the Summer of Love? The Church of Satan at its Heyday? The gay scene before the arrival of AIDS? SF before Web 1.0? SF before Web 2.0? SF DURING Web 2.0?

I don't doubt that SF will be different a few years from now. It's not a given to me that it will be worse. And in fact, maybe letting some of the excess money evaporate and have some of the more opportunistic fortune hunters move on will create breathing space that will help SF hit its next groove.

I've been waiting to upgrade my 2015 for 5 years now! It's funny, when I bought it I only went with 8GB ram because I figured I would replace it in 2 years-ish. It has served me well, but, it's struggling with only 8GB these days. Now I'm ready for 32GB, because I'm planning on keeping the next one for another 5 years. Let's hope the 14" MackBook Pro in 2021 (with mini-LED secreen) rumors have legs to it. Hoping this is only the interim state of the 13" Pro and is due to really needing a different ARM cpu that is not available yet.
I did not vote...I've found similarly that issues-wise discussion is not bad, but more often than not conversation is always about the candidates themselves as a package and support for one particular policy means you support all of them.

So what? Again, moral appeals don't move people who do not subscribe to the same world view as you do. If I'm pro choice, I could yell all day that a woman's right to life matters more than a fetus', and if I'm pro life, I could say the opposite. It won't change the minds of people who don't hold those same moral positions.
This looks pretty interesting! How difficult would it be to have the documentation pre-fill data per person who's trying to execute some operation so by following the documentation, they can actually conduct their day to day job, as opposed to using it simply as documentation?
> majority of users on the mainstream end of the spectrum demand protection from those users

This “demanding protection” is one of the root problems with online discourse today. I refuse to concede that words on a screen will ever be something anyone “needs protection” from (short of actual doxxing, stalking and IRL harassment).

Have people forgotten “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me?” A block/ignore button should be sufficient. We don’t need platforms editorializing or censoring content.

People seek out content that makes them angry (ragebait) and then blame the platforms for disseminating it.

Walk away from the screen. Close your eyes. [0]

Maui Project – Free and Open Source UI Framework
From my understanding:

He found that the more a republican a county is, the more republicans voted for Gop candidates, and against Trump.
But only after the first 20% or so of the vote was in. In the first 20% of the vote Trump was doing better than the Gop candidates on the ticket.

Comes to the conclusion that an algorithm is syphoning votes from Trump to Biden. In a predictable linear fashion after the first 20% of the vote is counted. And flips more votes in more republican counties in an almost perfect linear way.

It doesn't make sense because Trump was polling better than the Gop candidates before the election, and was popular with republican voters.

The tallying software has a weighted vote feature. Where votes can be weighted for example 2:1 for one candidate over the other. Thinks that this was kicked in after 20% of the vote was in. Which would produce a linear drop that the graphs show.
No. That's not a general rule. Many universities have computer labs. The computers are in a locked cabinet, with a keyboard, mouse, and monitor exposed.

For that matter, many shopping malls have information kiosks, retail stores have demo laptops, banks have ATM machines, airlines have automatic check-ins, etc. If you're typing away, no one will care. If you're opening up the device with a crowbar, or even screw driver, you'd better have a nice orange high-viz uniform, lanyard, and clipboard. Without those, security will drag you awat.
That makes sense, the placebo effect is very potent when it comes to pain.

To be fair, there's only a few highways in BC and if you're going in one general direction, It's all one big road that kind of connects. We've got few very long roads that stretch out north and east from the coast, that work their way around the communities of BC.

BC's highways and roads remind me of tree roots all leading from Vancouver or the border.
PilferShush Jammer
ya, would pay money to get rid of the touch bar for sure.
To me, this article highlights how much of a moving target weighting polls, and political prediction is. Shor here speaks about how Democrats get oversampled as both in 2016, and 2020 due to different levels of engagement and trust over the election:

>> It used to be that once you control for age and race and gender and education, that people who trusted their neighbors basically voted the same as people who didn’t trust their neighbors. But then, starting in 2016, suddenly that shifted. If you look at white people without college education, high-trust non-college whites tended toward [Democrats], and low-trust non-college whites heavily turned against us. In 2016, we were polling this high-trust electorate, so we overestimated Clinton. These low-trust people still vote, even if they’re not answering these phone surveys.

Is this shift partially because Trump and then QAnon have shifted Trump-voters trust in institutions - thus the voters that don't respond to pollsters are shifting as the Republican party becomes more radicalized?
I'm not sure of another method to achieve similar results considering that this could be a placebo effect.
I'm not attacking you for it, but I'm disagreeing. My point above is that most dates do not have a transactional pretext and are not similar to prostitution at all.

Some dates probably are like that.
If political parties see, through polls, that their platform is not resonating with the populous, they will change their platform and policies. Decisions about future direction of the parties are not made in a vacuum. Polls are one of the feedback methods determining them.
These are good points. The Japanese (and probably many Chinese) cuisines certainly fall into the micronutrient-rich category (with seaweed, fish, etc.), have seemingly been tested for centuries and are awesome. Difficult to have these diets in the Western world though.

As for the science factor, I am a bit suspicious of people who have made nutrition their life topic. I get vibes of eating disorders or very controlling food choices. Like the formerly obese or anorexic person who becomes a dietitian because they did not manage to get rid of the cognitive addiction (they chose a profession where they can talk about food all the time). This might explain the tendency for these research areas to go with diet fads, or promote food very poor in nutrients like lettuce while rarely talking dangers like pesticides or issues how you should even come close to the daily recommended values with modern-grown veggies.

Also, there are some shoddy science practices in highly promoted studies. They often seem
to work with mindless questionnaires („how many grams of potato did you eat last week?“). Then there is a huge correlation vs. causation problem. In some countries only rich and educated people have time and money to cook or even think about their food choices.
And this comment proves a lack of confidence by apologizing to a random person, thus demonstrating that confidence also doesn't matter in this modern world.
