Without mass mail in ballots this kind of fraud necessarily has to happen on camera in polling stations.

Edit: downvotes are welcome but doesn't change the fact that mass opt-out mail in ballots are a disaster for democracy, given they destroy the secret ballot and chain of custody guarantees we expect in fair elections. this was well accepted just a short while ago by anyone reasonable regardless of political leaning. seeing people on camera being caught cheating because of centralized polling stations putting cameras on them is just one of a million things that should wake people up again why we, up until a few months ago, ran elections the way we did.

If you have a hypothetical country with a huge swath of empty land, and a single city with the population density of Hong Kong, the population density of that country will appear to be low, but in fact all the people living in the country live in a highly dense city. Perhaps a better measure than population/land area would be the average of the population density in the square kilometer surrounding each inhabitant (or something like that).
Please don't end your comments that way. I had already upvoted your comment halfway through but then on personal principle had to flip it to a downvote.
Anything opaque would work. But aesthetically that's not always preferable. Maybe an opaque central region with blended borders would be a good balance.
How does the "redundant" mode work? You cannot just double TCP packets as within that protocol it's a sign of congestion, it will drastically reduce the throughput. Does this include VPN-ing through some service that can understand duplicates and clean them up?
Wrong. Your implementation loses all parameter typing, defaulting to "any". IDEs have correct TS definitions for .bind().
What are you actually getting at here? If I had to pessimistically guess, it sounds like you're trying to signal "I'm part of the group that can see through the drone marketing hype. They can't fool me."

Drones are much faster than cars at getting to remote places. There are many, many villages throughout the African continent that can take several hours to get to due to lack of paved roads (you need a 4WD, and it'll be a bumpy, slow ride). Sometimes the territory is dangerous to drive though. Drones can also be used even in more developed areas when roads have been completely washed away by a flood/hurricane/landslide/etc. The industry certainly has been hyped, and it's still early days, but your claim that they're not useful is absurd.
Your entire point is that the narrative that industrial-scale carbon producers are chiefly responsible for carbon production is itself faulty, because it obviates personal responsibility. Because those businesses are doing it behest of consumers. Is that right?

It seems like a false dichotomy, because one can affirm personal responsibility and place the blame on the main culprits of an activity. And to claim that businesses are forced into do that because of consumers- well when do individual consumers get a chance to express their feelings at how carbon is produced by the businesses they patronize? How transparent is the production process to consumers? There is information asymmetry at play.

Reducing such a complex issue into a simple moral judgment about personal responsibility (or the dodging thereof) would seem to be an oversimplification.
> To truly make the claim that nix allows reproducible builds, it needs to provide: - a way to specify versions that don't depend on the commit hash of a "nixpck channel" whatever that is

I don't see why a commit hash in insufficient to declare a package reproducible. For my system, I just use channels, but for anything mission critical, I think most people pin their commit hash of nixpkgs [0]. A pinned commit of nixpkgs will produce the exact same set of packages, forever.

> a way to actually properly pin package versions

The way you do this is to pull in a specific commit of nixpkgs (you can install packages from many versions of it at the same time, if you want). Alternatively, you can manually vendor the package file, which is what I usually do for one or two packages.

In that context it may not be an overkill. If you're 2-3 days away from nearest wifi enabled spot, then having a solid backup strategy might be a good idea...
If you don't have radar systems detecting them long before the border guards hear them, then you can't do anything about it anyway. Accurate detection is the key part of any anti-air system - if you're sitting at the controls of an anti-air system and your first notification of an enemy jet plane is a call from someone who literally heard it, then you still can't fire anything at useful at it, and the only thing that you can do is walk away before your (apparently useless) anti-air system gets bombed.
Why Is 4-Year Stock Option Vesting Getting an Overhaul?
From Trento but speak for myself obviously... Please don't ruin a nice place with tech-bro imports, just to satisfy your need to selfishly consume the beautiful nature we have fought hard to conserve and our beautiful well kept and well lived cities. These places are beautiful and well kept because of tradition and respect for the past. Try building something for once rather than just moving to better places and usurping what others have built and maintained through generations of commitment and diligence.

At least you're using the awful new development on the outskirts of the city center, which has so far been mostly empty, possibly due to its cold modern aesthetic, ridiculous proportions, with the worst coffee shops in town, right next to the highway.
The HN post isn't linking to the comments. I wonder if the mods can look to see which countries the flags are coming from.
I don't have a problem with jobs doing crappy things (obviously, they have to get done). As far as manual labor goes, I tend to do things myself rather than hiring someone. What I do have a problem with (and what people mean when they say "crappy jobs") is the terrible compensation and lack of worker power.

The people doing these jobs generally don't complain (they know their situation sucks), and when they do are ignored (everyone else knows their situation sucks). So what stands out in your mind is when someone who seems to have no vested interest in crappy jobs complains about crappy jobs.

People who haven't been forced into living hand to mouth have not internalized the rules of the system as hard. We're therefore more able to envision changing the system's workings, rather than having fully resigned ourselves to living within its rules in spite of its problems.

You worked some crappy jobs, and then succeeded out of them. So you believe you have found a template of success. But the problem is that while it worked for you, it cannot scale to work for everybody. And not because most people are too dumb/lazy/whatever to get ahead, but rather because the system ranks everyone against each other, and then only allows for a few winners - economic position in a debt-based economy is zero sum.

Meanwhile, I fully recognize that in order to have my position as being relatively economically comfortable, there are other people out there who cannot be. So rather than "guilt", which implies some sort of irrational emotional state, it is actually continuing to have concern for the people stuck below me in the system that I am forced to help maintain.
> I feel the law is doing more harm than good to the general public.

Seems like you don’t know how the law works (see below).

In terms of “good to the general public”: there are meant developers whose code you depend on who have various sensory restrictions. Since this is an Internet site, I’ll give an example of Vint Cerf. Aren’t you glad he was able to be productive, attend university etc?

> If ramps are not available, does shutting down the building's access to the general public justify it?

The ADA does not work that way. Nobody has to make prospective changes. But if you build a new building, or do significant renovation, then you must do that work up the the modern code, which includes ADA accommodation. If you rebuild the building entrance you must include ramps, modern crash bars etc. That doesn’t also mean you must add elevators, to other floors, etc. This is common in other countries I’ve lived in as well.

There’s an additional wrinkle: unlike MIT (the original OCW), the UCs are government institutions (specifically of California) and that adds more stringent requirements. A private business (like MIT) have more nuance: they both has to serve anyone yet can refuse service “for any reason” (modulo some constraints). Taxpayer dollars are supposed to be spent on things that benefit everyone. There are limits (ballots don’t have to be printed in Aramaic; speed limit signs don’t have to be printed in Braille) but it’s a good fundamental assumption. And all the UCs can afford to support their mission; it’s their choice to make a petulant point by withdrawing the OCW site.
Assuming you're referring to AOC going to the MET Gala, I feel you're implying she spent $35k of taxpayer money to get there, while she was in fact invited.

Calling it "nihilistic" is a bit strong considering the robe matches her policy positions and congress votes.
Once you've founded something you can't un-found it, so aren't all founders founders for life?

AFAIK multi-path is not too common, though most people who do multipath are using MPTCP.

Last I checked, It's part of LTE standard, but used exclusively in South Korea. Some providers across the world provide multi-path gateways: in France, OVH has OverTheBox which is line-provider agnostic, Free has ADSL+4G aggregation where fiber isn't available. In Switzerland, Swisscom also has some multi-path offer.

Also, Apple's Siri uses MPTCP. (And developers love the fact that only Siri can use it, and not other apps).

Google/Android said no to MPTCP, saying QUIC/HTTP3 already has the provisions needed to do multipath, but I don't know if Google actually uses it somewhere.
An excellent question. It seems interesting, and like it has a reasonable social consensus, but I do wonder if everyone'll just be going hunting for LTSB 5-10 years from now.

(Where "existential" applies to both "the project might be dead in a few years" and "they disable Windows Update, so not actually Arch Linux" :D)
> Being on the top of Google is an attractive proposition because it means many eyeballs and lots of ad revenue

Hence the proliferation of 'splogs' or Spam-Blogs. Also in terms of social media, most people who experience a viral blogpost that spreads like wildfire throughout the net, invariably try to recreate that past success. It's the sole motivation of clickbait and sensationalist articles. More eyeballs, more AD revenue and also fake Internet Points in general to be had.
I agree with everything you write, but this is very subjective:

> and it's a lot more fun than cardio.

I, too, try to lift weights regularly, and acknowledge that it's important for health. But I detest doing it. Running, on the other hand, is incredibly rewarding for me and gives my brain a wonderful "reset" that I sorely miss without it.
This is also always interesting to see with submissions that are critical of CCP/PRC :)

Though it's probably more obvious where the flags are coming from in those cases.
FWIW, if the WordPress or email address requirements for this turn you away from it, the Calibre OSS ebook management software supports pushing RSS feeds on your ebook reader as well.
I got distracted by all of the other great comments on this thread and made a mess of my point.

What I was trying to say is that I think that ultimately social media will eat your traffic and blog. I think that the peril of using social media to promote your own content is that you will ultimately depend on social media.

I think that the best route to take is to find a way to promote your content without it.

This section of the EM spectrum is non-ionizing. So unlike, say, X-rays, you won't get cancer as the waves aren't strong enough to strip an electron off an atom and therefore change your DNA. However, they will heat your cells to some degree (since 2.5GHz is the same freq as a microwave). This can cause cataracts over long exposure to high enough power as your eyes can't regulate heat.

Generally accepted by who? You can find some people who are concerned about this stuff. 5G truthers and all that. But nobody in the evidence-based medicine community.
Has the tech industry been particularly pro-housing? It doesn’t seem to be where they’re focusing their lobbying efforts, despite some recent actions.
I mean it's possible that it could have happened, but I feel like if you're going to make claims like this, there's a pretty high threshold of evidence required.
The 8 sockets are opened only towards speedify "VPN" server. Once you're out of speedify network, you only have one standard TCP connection, so destination server only sees one connection as expected.
Objective reality exists because "I" exist. Something exists that is generating this feeling of I. And whatever that something is, would be what we are calling objective reality.

For example, I could be a brain in a vat, being fed sense signals through wires that is making me feel that I live on this blue green rocky planet revolving around a big ball of fire. If so, "I am a brain in a vat" is the objective reality, even though the "I" inside this simulated universe may never be able to perceive the true reality.

It's true that we can never be 100% sure that our sense signals are truly objective and not something emergent (spacetime of our universe) from a more fundamental reality (say, brain in a vat). Then what should we do? I believe the best thing we can do is to follow the data. As long as we continue to observe that our universe is consistently and precisely obeying the physical laws we have discovered, we can axiomatically assume that we do live in objective reality. As we dig deeper, we may make new observations indicating we exist in a Matrix after all. We'd then have to update our mental models accordingly.

Piracy is result of unfair prices. Music used to be pirated all the time but then Spotify came along with subscription based services. I don't know anyone who still pirates music. Maybe people with IP and copyright claims should learn from Music industry.
I feel the same, running is like meditation. Lifting weights feels downright stressful.
Of course, why would it be?

The idea is to get past all the government-imposed nonsense, improve public image in the process, and get on with one's business.

It seems the Guardian fanatics are upset that Big Tech doesn't believe. Compliance is a necessary, but not sufficient condition!
I did not want to take away from this 'launch' ; We are redoing the front-end (as it looks 15 y/o) and are almost done redoing it. We integrated a lot of to get a bit more modern in that version and we have an API now that allows x origin so it can serve serverless. For the API you will have to email: have 1000+ companies using it, however, I did not advertise it until the site has been redone. It is mobile unfriendly but it was never meant to do that.

My main goal, because I use it for everything, is speed: entry speed, reaction speed etc. So apologies to xata, I do not see myself as a competitor, but here is the link [0]. Just email me for the new version, the api and cors.

French generation is ~70% nuclear (10% wind/solar) and German is ~10% (~40% wind/solar). Yet their prices track each other closely. So I think this explanation is too simplistic.

Possibly there are large interconnects between the French and German grids levelling out wholesale prices, but my assumption is that they cannot carry enough power for this imagined scenario where nuclear makes a big difference.
It's not about value systems, it's about rumination vs. non-rumination.

Sinatra and Hefner simply believed in their own mind that they were special and acted on it, whereas people like Munger , they ruminate for hours on end thinking about whether CPI would come out at 2.7% or 2.5% while already sitting on 5 billion dollars.

Also constantly pricing the odds of every move and generally thinking about stuff too much instead of acting and let the chips fall where they may.

Artists don't always use realistic perspectives, especially not that long ago. The swimmer isn't inhaling, he's blowing into the goatskin to keep it inflated.

My first PC I ever owned was scrap gathered from my friends.

My only HDD was 120MB Conner Peripherals HDD that fell on asphalt out of jacket pocket of my friend while he was riding a bike (no kidding!) and was crisscrossed with bad sectors.

I put up an ambitious (back then) plan to map out all broken sectors and then try to fit Windows 95 and Delphi2 onto the rest.

I remember I was left with something like 70MB of usable disk space and most of it was devoted to Delphi 2.

I have spent a number of days iterating moving some Windows files, restarting to see if it still boots and does the job, restoring the files if it did not.

I was left with something like 20MB (? I assume, I don't remember exactly). There was not a single file that I could remove without breaking it, I have edited a lot of registry and INI files to disable features to let me remove as much as possible. There was no sound support, no plug&play, no unnecessary tools, nothing.

Hats off if you can do the same to Windows98 and shrink it to 5MB.

Noob question. What does it mean to say that a language is "python-based"? Python is itself a language. Does it mean the parser/compiler is written in Python?
Same thing happened while I worked at Turo. They pivoted from "If we all shared our cars, we won't need as many! Less traffic and better for the environment!" to "We need to optimize for people who are buying cars/fleets and renting them out like a business, as they bring us the most value"
As someone mentioned you can round-robin connections, but then you don't get failover (without interruption, anyway).

What I think most of these solutions do is use MPTCP or a custom homebrew protocol to a server that then holds the actual TCP connection you want. So a slightly more complicated VPN. There is an open source project for this:

The point about number of MAC filters is fairly moot as when you do bridging in hardware you are not going to utilize any kind of hardware MAC filtering capability anyway. Also the issue of flooding tends to be solved by the physical switches in the network.
