Cost of elections is not an issue, but replacing FPTP with ranked choice makes candidate less dependent on the party.

Remember Trump 2016 elections, when Trump disagreed with the way debates were conducted. Trump had to bend because there could be only one Republican candidate.

Not saying Trump was right, but making candidate less dependent on the party (i. e. redistribute the power from the party committee to the candidates) would be good thing.
Sorry, I left a key part out- the issue is combining ranked choice voting AND a multiple party system. If you only had 2-3 parties, I agree with you. However I think what the RCV people are hoping for is a multiparty system, yes? So once you get above 4 parties, the odds of multiple states all having picked a different candidate increases, so that no one gets a majority.

Extremely simplified example- the South all chooses the Republican candidate, the West Coast all chooses the Democratic candidate, the Midwest all chooses the Populist candidate, the Northeast mostly chooses the Whig candidate. Alaska chooses the Alaska Independence Party candidate. Vermont and New Mexico chooses the Green Party candidate. See the problem now?
Rand Grail was very cool to see on video. The fact that it's 'assembly' did not seem that bad to me. What was painful was watching the demo of writing the equation and all of those parentheses being drawn around. Maybe RPN or some other prefix would work better.
The idea that a higher power would care if we ate shellfish, but is ok with us beating our slaves (as long as they don't die straight away), is really hard to rationalise.

The humble position, when faced with something you don't know, is to say "I don't know." Too often the religious position seems to be "I can't know, therefore I will believe something someone else has told me" which seems entirely non-humble to me.
Strongly agree that AI isn't magic, but I think you're making too broad a statement here. AI can certainly be superhuman in some areas, eg. chess and go. Whether or not human-level is the maximum depends on how the training data is created. If you have to rely on human experts to produce the labels (this is a dog, this is a cat, etc.), then it's going to be hard to design a system that can beat human performance. But for chess and go, you can get around that by using self-play.

In the case of matching writings, you can get around it by having a bunch of people create several pieces of writing each. Even if no human expert could tell whether two pieces were from the same person, it's still possible to give the network the correct labels when training because we know the ground truth of who wrote what.

Of course, a model can only work with information that actually exists. My gut says that writing leaks plenty of information about identity, so it should at least be possible to identify the author of large chunks of text (over 1000 words, say). But I could be wrong about that.
Funny :)

I can do this too: Amazon is feudalism to their employees, demanding totalitarian fealty in exchange for insulin.

They even ban membership in professional organizations by their employees in a rapt, paranoid, control fantasy.

Amazon even has cameras in some their homes, steals their wifi, and receives much their internet traffic.

Any voter friction is an attack on democracy.

What you deem "adequate" friction is just your opinion that only "the right people" can vote.

Maybe that's an opinion that people should have to put on clothes to go vote, but then, if this was actually a lot of people, don't they deserve a societal voice?

Democracy is only democracy when everyone has the vote, because otherwise it's just another variant of the King asking his small council.
No, you don't want dumb people to have representation, because idiots will spread misinformation (everything from climate change being fake to masks being unnecessary) and adopt corrupt practices to garner their votes. Smart people are less vulnerable to misinformation.

You want people who believe science, have a sense of foresight for several years, understand international politics, and how resources and economics work to decide the future of the country.

You definitely would have made some sales instantly with your userbase. The only way this can be true is if you refused any payouts because you saw it would be bad PR. I judge based on intentions. The choices Brave makes over and over show you guys are a shady affiliate type company with a mask of developer and privacy friendliness.

> Compare this with traffic attribution

This is really not the same thing. It's barely relevant. What Brave did is much closer to cookie stuffing. ie: zero value provided to the businesses. I have to now ask you to please not reply with a myopic technical or legal definition of cookie stuffing as you will otherwise do so. You are missing everyone's points on purpose. It's a strange coincidence and is only easy to understand when one realizes you are paid to do so.

Lastly, the first screenshot you linked is egregious. Thanks for providing an honest one. That is absolutely insane. You have an aggressive legal team, for sure. Anyone else would put "AD" float:right on that menu item. (If this was there and you cropped it out then actually I take back this criticism.)

You have a tough job mate. You have a shady employer and your job is to trick everyone into thinking they aren't shady even as they relentlessly do shady things.

I actually don't care about any of this stuff, I just don't like this community being lied to or manipulated. Hackernews is smart but can be manipulated just like reddit as you are seeing. You're only having luck because everyone here hates Google and tracking so much and so desperately wants to believe. But even if you guys do shady stuff I'm all for more competition in the browser and search space.

Anyway, what are the CPMs on your pops and the min daily buy/commitment and is anyone else actually making money with them? Is it pops or more like PPV (url based targeting?) I buy Opera and recently looked into your program.

I've been disappointed at how limited the pen input is on the iPad. Few apps support it and its built-in understanding of text has a very simplistic model.

The Teamsters understand exactly what they are doing here. The press release was well done and clearly coordinated by savvy people with lots of expertise and good understanding of game theory fundamentals.

I'm not sure if it's good or not, but if the Teamsters can't do it, I don't think anyone can unionize Amazon.

If I were Amazon, I'd be shaking in my boots at the moment.
It's ridiculous to compare RISC-V against x86 as serious competitors in the same market. Shipping RISC-V chips are currently about 25 years behind x86 in microarchitecture (similar to Pentium) and 20 years behind in performance due to using more modern process nodes and higher MHz.

Similarly, shipping RISC-V chips are currently six years behind ARM's A53.

The P550 closes the gap to ARM to 4 years, and to Intel probably about 12-15 years with P550 and A15 both most similar to Core 2 in the Intel line-up.

That's a highly-usable level of performance, especially when paired with more modern RAM, SSD, and GPUs than were available in Core 2 systems.
You think saying that women have a harder time speaking up and leading has nothing to do with engineering?

Where exactly have you worked as an engineer where leadership didn't matter and people weren't encouraged to speak up?

EDIT: To be clear about the point here, none of these claims are sourced! He's just insulting women in 'kind-sounding' language! I think women are very unprotected in modern society! I think women LOVE systemization! The insult is the unsourced claim!
> Cardinal even having more flexibility

I thought Gibbard-Satterthwaite (or maybe just Gibbard's version) applied to cardinal systems as well. This seemed likely to me for some reason, as if an ordinal method could approximate any particular cardinal discretization by just including "ghost" candidates that can be packed (ordinally) between your actual candidates.
> Anyone voting for another candidate is simply saying that's who they /REALLY/ wish would win, but most people aren't willing to throw their vote in the garbage to virtue signal.

Interesting to apply the term "signaling" to a behavior which other people cannot observe.

He’s smart enough to do the job he has because he has done this hobby work his whole life. See also Peter Norvig.
I mean... are you suggesting that some system where someone could get elected with only 25% of the vote would somehow be more democratic? If a party or candidate can only get 25% of the vote in an election for a single position, like mayor, they aren't going to get elected, that's just democracy, right?

RCV makes it more likely a third party could get 50% of the vote though, since people can vote for it without worrying about "throwing their vote away", or throwing the election to a right-wing party when they want to vote for the lesser left-wing party.

This graph made the rounds on Reddit: https://i.redd.it/vv4ws1848t671.jpg

Toxo is no joke. Apart from opening the door to other diseases and chronic inflammation, it also induces neurological changes we still barely understand.

It might be a contributor to depression. What we do know is that it correlates positively with motorcycle deaths and risk taking behaviors [1]. Postmortem tests show this. (My old immunology professor used to say that toxoplasma indirectly leads to more organ donation.)

Keep your cats indoors. Or get a dog instead.

Toxo evolved to fuck with mice brains and make them not fear being eaten. Your brain operates on similar biochemistry.

Be careful.

Yeah, that's not what Critical Race Theory is or how it could be applied to schools.

The irony of you bringing this up in the context of propaganda is amusing.

Even more interesting, I wonder what all the demographic indicators are for HNers.

And lower than 90% turnout is better, right?

Because when people are forced to vote, they are on average more likely to vote for a random name they heard on TV than for a candidate with a program they read and the background they studied.
No one questions that the people who are bullish on BTC are in on it (some).
The question is why would I pay you to lend me BTC when I actually want to send my BTC to someone.
It literally adds a third party in what should be a p2p transaction. They replaced the "evil third parties" called banks with their own liquidity pool.

Funny how they figured out that you cant make money with money services if you remove the third party, so they added it back in.

On top of that there are countless other blockchains/DLT that have cheap transactions on the first layer. Cheap as in fractions of a cent. To compete with that you would need to lock your BTC for free but then you still have the on chain transaction that LN needs sometimes that cost way too much.
I think you're looking at a different type of grader than the services I'm referring to.

You're paying for the grading/encapsulation as a service, independent from any future sale plans, so they have no stake in under or over-grading any individual coin. They got their service charge (typically $15-100 or so depending on estimated value and turnaround speed) and they'd lose community trust if they were consistently too lenient.

The market only trusts a handful of firms, most of who have been around since the 1980s or 1990s and certified millions of coins. Most other brands are "price it as you would an uncertified coin, caveat emptor" or perhaps even worse, as some sketchy dealers would set up a fourth rate grading service as a means to make low-quality inventory more appealing.
The fact that this was deleted is more interesting than the sequences themselves.
Isn’t this just lobbying?
Was awakened one morning by a horrible shrieking noise coming from somewhere else in the house. When I got up to check what had happened my wife was freaking out because there was something under one of the orange trees in the back yard that she didn't like.

One of the neighbors had a very fluffy cat they would let outside, who liked to loaf in the lower branches of our orange trees and my wife likes watching cats lounge about.

Well that particular morning she witnesses a coyote appear from nowhere and snatch the cat. By the time I ran it off, the only thing left of the cat was a pile of fur and it's tail. The coyote jumped over the 6ft tall cinder block fence with the rest of the cat like it wasn't there and ran off.

It was pretty common for cats to go missing in the area and very few folks would heed the warnings about small pets being allowed out.

Then there was the article he wrote ""Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy" where he argued that the pill made women fat crazy and promiscuous and then declared his birthday "World Patriarchy Day"

Then the time he said that being gay was "a lifestyle choice guaranteed to bring pain and unhappiness." Just reroll as hetrosexual folks!

Then there was the time he said it was OK for sexually mature 13 year olds to have sex with adults then claimed being the victim of sexual abuse made him say it. He also said abuse victims were "whinging selfish brats" for "suddenly" remembering they were abused, and "suddenly" deciding it was a problem, 20 years after the abuse occurred.

How about the fact that he used his tenure at Breitbart to court white supremacists and promote their views.

He was canceled in fact by none other than Breitbart not for this of course but for the pedophile comments which was apparently a bridge too far.

Is this an example "cancel culture" gone too far?
Do you mean to say that fossil fuel driven climate change is an opinion or do you mean to say that the effects of that climate change are an opinion?

Human induced climate change is generally accepted by experts. That climate change is and will cause massive disruption and economic cost is not really a controversial opinion/projection, except by those who seem to want to weaponize the denial for political gain or short term profit.
Reminds me of how OneNote worked in... 2013, I wanna say?

Funny how different people still act equally as blown-away by technology that's been around for decades, but I guess that's retrofuturism raison d'etre.
I'm going to be even more controversial and contend that neither historical context nor primary sources should ever be necessary to legitimately criticise an idea. Primary sources and historical context are certainly valuable for the study of history and culture—but any idea worth its salt should always be able to stand on its own. By way of example, one shouldn't need to have studied the Rigveda, or understand the historical context of ancient India, in order to have reasonable ground as a proponent or critic of modern yoga practice.
I understand your point. It's probably a grey area in which the need for surrounding people to feel safe outweighs the risk of someone accessing this data and using them against us. Also, any discrimination based on that data would also be against the law.
Having been infected with Covid19, and subsequently hospitalized for nearly 2 months in a Covid ward after a road accident [0], I've seen scenes of death and panic, but also negligence from denialists, therefore I believe it's our responsibility to be as much clear as possible with information so that they know what is going on and can feel safe thanks to correct information and not by ignoring the problem.

0: (I beat symptomatic Covid at home, then tested negative, then after 3 weeks had a road accident and the mandatory ER triage swab told I was positive again, although this time with no symptoms).
Good question! To which I respond with another question: Why not both? ;)

Actual example code from my current project (with the actual object type anonymized by renaming it to "thing"):

const result = await prisma.thingInstance.findMany({
where: {
thingTypeId: {
in: thingTypes.map((id) => id.childThingTypeId),
},
thingInstanceChildren: {
none: {
parentThingId: {
equals: args.parentThingId,
},
},
},
},
orderBy: {
thingTypeId: "desc",
},
take: 120,
});

Returns an array of ThingInstance objects. It can also return joined relations (giving you the "Object Relational" part of ORM), or filter on joins, or what have you.

It's because Prisma (in this case) is an ORM that fully understands the data architecture that you can layer a full automation/code generation/GraphQL server on top of it. Not all ORMs have this feature, but you mostly need to start with an ORM in order to bootstrap this functionality.

I guess you could do what you're describing by creating tons of highly specialized code given a schema without adding the ORM/query building features--but adding the layer that gives you a Data Mapper pattern ORM is a tiny amount of additional effort at that point.

I did mention elsewhere: Some people seem to think that the ActiveRecord pattern is the only "ORM" approach, but Data Mapper is another approach--and one that is usually referred to as another view strategy of an ORM. [1]

> - People are likely to respond in a much more civil manner, they're not just going to yell at you

People are going to ignore you and leave as well, because they (a) want to go about their day and have no interest in what you have to say, or (b) actively fear physical violence because you're within arm's reach of them, or (c) [my favorite] I'm actually in the office (or worse, with family) and still need to work with this person (or deal with them for the rest of their natural life), and would like to avoid an adversarial campaign of passive-aggressive retribution or (maybe worse?) an ongoing daily update on the dangers of chemtrails or whatever.

Basically, people who think dialogue happens better in person I don't think are necessarily being very cognizant of the fact that in person I'm equal parts trying to mind my physical safety and mind the overall environment I have to work in.

So am I self-censoring? Aggressively. Continuously.
The baseline performance for any sort of react-based web app is going to be pretty bad if you're comparing it to a state-of-the-art game engine. The build status page for the CI/CD pipeline we use at my work has around 2x the CPU usage as this demo, for instance. It would be surprising if cljs's persistent data structures are incurring any real user-perceivable cost over JS arrays and maps, given how small this project is.

That being said, it would be interesting to know how much of a penalty you pay as N gets big using a deeply nested persistent record vs a flatter component system with immutable persistent structures vs a pile of mutable structures.
