There is basically zero public evidence of election fraud in the US. It's irrelevant. What matters is the people who are in charge of developing, handling, and operating the voting machines and systems. There is zero public information about the chain of custody and potential vulnerabilities in the chain. This should be vastly more concerning.
> invest $40k earning 7.12% for at least 6 months

I'm sure you know this so this comment is more for the casual reader: "I bonds earn interest for 30 years unless you cash them first. You can cash them after one year. But if you cash them before five years, you lose the previous three months of interest."[1]

Worth keeping in mind these aren't really short-term investment vehicles. But earning 2x inflation rate is pretty decent for a low-risk investment.

I don't know anything about Virginia, but based on your comment alone I see clearly what the problem is. What you described is a system that disenfranchises everyone that satisfies tree simple rules: doesn't drive, don't travel internationally, and don't work for a large company. E.g. urban poor service-industry worker (outside of chains, no restaurant issues employer IDs).

They're being forbidden by the university to testify.

How can testifying be one of their official duties?
Exactly my thoughts. They're inefficient, overpriced, and outdated models. From what I've seen first-hand, homeschooling or similar schooling methods, in community efforts (not home schooling in isolation), is much more efficient and healthy.
Are they really accountable to those folks in the sense that they're running the universities / telling people they can't testify like this law?

I think there is a big difference.
You two have opened up my eyes. These actually sound better than pine nuts to me
I have TreasuryDirect set up to purchase $X in I-bonds quarterly. It's been set and forget. I consider them the "medium term" component of my emergency fund, rather than an investment I expect significant yield from. They generally perform better than CDs, worse than corporate bonds, and are inflation protected. They're not too bad tax-wise either. The interest is subject to Federal income tax but not state or local tax. All of the above have their place in a well-diversified savings strategy.
They also made some entry into the R space with adding their MKL / BLAS library:

Right, the base rate never changes for the life of the bond, and it generally outperforms cash while also being zero-risk.
As long as the drivers are portable wrt the platform specifics (endian-ness, memory model) then yes, it "should" work. However there's a lot more varied use cases; for instance when you boot your PC straight into UEFI, the UEFI runtime environment doesn't have a full blown nvidia/amd/whatever driver you install like your OS, but it can still display graphics in this "pre-boot" environment through your HDMI cable.

To do this, the UEFI runtime is configured (let's say magically) to run a little bit of x86 code that AMD/nvidia provides, very early on, which will essentially initialize the GPU for this specific mode of operation. Your PC just does this every time you boot into UEFI, no issue. But because this opaque blob is a piece of x86 code the UEFI runtime picks up, it wouldn't work out of the box on ARM64, but you can actually work around it. Some ARM64 platforms for example, actually compile QEMU as a UEFI application, and run that x86 pre-boot code under QEMU through emulation; the emulator translates memory accesses, the peeks/pokes, to ARM64 code and this allows you to initialize graphics normally. AMD/Nvidia could also provide ARM blobs too, of course.

Naturally not every GPU has restrictions like this (Nvidia might be completely different?) and there may be alternate solutions, but it's just to give you a taste of the things PC users take for granted. The fundamentals should work but there are use cases beyond that.
I don't think we're disagreeing here. I did say the devil is in the details. I'm putting forth Virginia as a state that does it well (i.e., there are multiple independent sources of valid ID, so we can't pull Alabama-like DMV shenanigans), and pointing out that voter ID has value in ways not often discussed, particularly in making the voter check-in process go more smoothly.

There are interesting trade-offs to consider in the voter ID discussion.
This is a civil case. There are no prosecutors.
Nope! It's electrostatic repulsion.

On the surface, it is kind of wild, but I want to suggest that it's in some ways beneficial for work like this to be supported directly by the companies that benefit from them (including core dev work and engine improvements).

There are downsides to only having Google/Apple/Mozilla participating in this process, and it's that (regardless of whether you think they have good or bad intentions) they are extremely insular.

There are dangers to this as well of course. We don't want things getting derailed or worsened just because it makes life more convenient for some company somewhere. But in general I suspect it's good for more stakeholders to be getting their hands dirty engaging with both the standards processes and the minutia of actual browser development. They had a problem, they gave money to developers to fix it, and it got fixed with approval from upstream. In terms of Open Source, a pretty clear success story to me. We should encourage this.

Hello HN!

I've been online since BBS/Trumpet Winsock days, landing my first dev job way back in 2000. Since then I've done a lot, seen a lot, and built a lot - I've been fully remote since 2007.
On several occasions I've built apps from scratch, by doing analysis of business processes on-site and delivering apps that bring order to chaos.
Performance monitoring and optimizations are my favorites these days. Willng to do on-call night shifts for PST/EST.

Technologies:

Fullstack (Frontend, backend, APIs, server apps)
Favorites: php, .net (c# or vb.net, web/desktop), vue, jquery
Hosting: bare-metal, Hetzner, Linode, Leaseweb, AWS
Databases: MySQL, MSSQL, Redis
DevOps: Ansible, QEMU, HAproxy, ProxySQL

CV and past project specifics available on request.
Sure, I'm not saying the problem is completely solved. But for most people using the nth percentile most used tools, the problem is solved. There will always be holdouts or legacy programs that are not HiDPI aware. But if you ask 100 people to list their 10 most used tools, I'd wager a bet that 95% of the unique entries on that list are not blurry when used scaled.

> Dogs used to be kept outside.

I don't know if you've ever seen any Victorian back-to-back terraced housing - but there is no outside. There is the house and then the street.

> This applies to all dog breeds. Dogs that attack humans are culled even to this day, I'm not sure why a "bull dog" would be special in this regard. The only thing unique to fighting breeds is they were bred to be good at killing without reason.

This was a specific multi-year cull aimed at removing human aggression from the bull breeds. One reference to it is here: https://jackalsoldcountryblood.com/the-history-of-the-staffo... (although I'm not too keen on the guy that runs this site who sells really crappy training guides)
Hyperinflation is Zimbabwe or Brazil during some periods. That's not what I'm comparing it to.

High inflation is what we had during the Carter years. People who lived though it say it was awful. Five per-cent may be on the cusp, but 8% is getting up there where it eats up a wage earner's buying power.
Which accusation specifically do you think is not supported?
> Especially in a non-linear dynamic and chaotic - hence very difficult to predict - system like Earth's weather and climate system.

It's because it's a highly non-linear and chaotic system.

If earth's climate was a linear system, then indeed your gut feeling that 0.04% change is small would be warranted.
There are many, but the problem is that they are just textbook definitions. For example, you can pick out two Labradors where one is super crazy and needs constant action and strict training and another that is super chill and is super easy to work with as it will only want to please you. However, certain generic characteristics will apply to both.

If you adopt, then make sure you know what you are getting (though this is a bit of a surprise bag usually). Especically when adopting at young age, the dog might change over time and calm down.

There are certainly certain breeds that are generally not recommended to beginners.

CRediT – Contributor Roles Taxonomy
Don't speak for the rest of us please. I personally believe there to be a massive societal disadvantage to the existence of "educational institutions" with hidden political agendas.
People that believe that are substituting feelings for evidence, so passing laws to assuage their concerns doesn’t make sense. That’d be like requiring drug testing for people to get public assistance, but worse because voting is so fundamental.
Guessing its SoFi.
I find it useful to refer to "price inflation", "monetary inflation", and "asset inflation" to distinguish between them all. Monetary inflation may or may not create asset inflation and or price inflation depending where it flows.
I use typescript almost daily. It's certainly better than Python or Ruby, I'll grant you that. But I don't think Python is a good language either.

Ultimately I want a langauge with value types like structs and arrays that you can use to do computations without allocating things on the heap.

In Go I can write a function that returns two numbers.

In Javascript I can only return two numbers by allocating an array on the heap with two items. These two items themselves are probably pointers to two number objects allocated separately. So that's 5 allocations to return two numbers. It's insane.

This means fundamentally it's impossible to create applications in javascript that are both sophisticated and high performance.

A great example to illustrate this is the tooling around Javascript itself.

There were all kinds of bundlers: webpack, rollup, parcel, etc. Rollup was considered the fastest and lightest. They were all programmed in Javascript itself. They were all slow. But no one really knew how bad it was because there was nothing really better.

Then esbuild comes along, and blows all of them completely out of the water, out performing them by 100 times. And it's written in Go. A language that supports structs and arrays as value types.
Even medicine is an inefficient system of schooling in the US (and very hypocritical if you consider what med students and residents go through and its impact on their health). It can be redone to be cheaper, quicker, and safer, with less burnout rates.
My company went public and was acquired, all while doing basic database shit hilariously wrong and just strapping in memory caches everywhere instead of using indexes.

There's some reality that knowing this stuff matters but it honestly doesn't for a huge number of tech startups, at least in this market.

Given what you say, I don't understand why you don't understand.

For one, it's now quite clear that all network infrastructure has backdoors controlled by the respective producing governments. I know for fact that alcatel do, for example. Why else the strict purge against huawei; a spy can spot a spy.

And I think there are quite serious implications for free and open markets in certain sectors.

In the original context I read the statement "either google is screwed or society is screwed" as referring to the lawsuit, not Google's behavior.

That is, to project some of my own opinions: If something like this is not enough to cause major consequences for a big company like google, there is little hope that anything will.
Make districts competitive. As long as the measure (votes in an election district) can be shaped such that winning the primary (initial election to determine the rep. for each party) basically promises a win in the general (an election where one rep from each party competes), polarization will go up and moderation will go down. Once districts are competitive, reps will face more pressure to the will of the people, as opposed to the people in just their party.
