I asked about this when I was interviewed about my own research.

Journalists generally believe that it is inappropriate, or even unethical, to let "sources" see, let alone edit, an article before publication. Some don't even want the copy leaving the newsroom at all.

I think this is derived from more investigative/adversarial types of reporting. If Mayor Quimby accidentally mentions that "a friend" gave him a new car, you don't want him to edit that out of a story about bribery allegations. However, it's a weird fit for writing where seemingly similar words may have very different meanings.

More here: https://www.poynter.org/reporting-editing/2020/should-journa... I'd note that this seems much more...flexible than the journalists I spoke with.

> If, at any time in counting process, an individual could successfully insert a single valid but fabricated ballot into the process

This varies by jurisdiction obviously, but where I'm from the procedure for counting must be done in an area which the public can access and it begins with a single person taking ballots out of the box one by one and giving it to a chain of 2-3 other people.

This way you can count how many ballots were taken out of the box and check with the totals at the end

And obviously the box is always in the presence of observers from various stakeholders

> less than 43,000 votes

Unless you can predict where these tiny margins will manifest with perfect accuracy you'd need to add a lot more fake votes, or at least have thousands of conspirators ready to add them at a moment's notice, that's ridiculously hard to organize discreetly
It's also not 4x faster. It's only 4x faster at the very beginning, until all the weird bugs get in the way and everyone's too scared to make changes because every little change breaks the customer experience.
Also, maybe it's worth it for the company (I still don't think so), but it's not worth it for the engineers :)
Telephone companies exchange legal liability for the content of what they carry, for not changing fee or pricing structures based on the use of their lines. However, they also charge fees for the use of their service to their end users.

People do not pay for the services in question here, so the idea they have a right to them is on shaky ground to begin with - i.e. if I give away free lemonade, I'm under no obligations to give it away to any specific persons.

But more importantly, there's a big difference between a transactive exchange between two parties, and a broadcast one: the telephone company is not obligated to advertise who uses their services or how they use them, whereas Facebook is a publishing platform that does - which goes to the question of association. You can discreetly use a telephone line: you cant discreetly use Facebook without Facebook branding.

So what does the proposed law then look like? Facebook is obligated to host your content next to the "Facebook" logo? Does the logo have to be there? Does the service have to be similar? What if Facebook decide your content just doesn't qualify for their branded tier, and instead will be hosted on "QuietBook.com", which they don't SEO optimize? Suppose you have a comment section on a personal website - why are you now allowed to remove comments there but Facebook isn't allowed to remove comments from it's service?

Which is why mail in voting is a bad idea

Australian Aborigines descend from modern Humans just as Europeans and Asians do. Genetically that is trivial to show. Also we interbreed easily. So there is no benefit for any use of the term "speciation".

Their "genotype and physiology" isn't that unique by the way. Genotypically there are tribes in Africa that diverge more from each other than Europeans diverge from Aborigines. People who think otherwise tend to overvalue skin color...
That’s the difference between perception and intention.

If this is the first time, at the same company, it (probably) does not matter, that much.

When I was an interviewer for a (second) technical phone interview at Google, one candidate performed pretty bad at one question. Later that week, or maybe the following week, that very interview was in the pre-HC meeting and one of the other pHC members pointed out that I had repeated a question from the first phone interview. At which point I pointed out that I had not been provided a list of previously asked questions, the candidate had not highlighted it, and the candidate's response was still sub-par.

Not mentioning the repeat counts against character and responsibility.
Not performing better at a repeat question a week later counts against competence.

That was an easy "let's not bring this candidate on-site" decision.
I went to look at this expecting it to also have excellent thermal conductivity (due to the low resistance z-axis conductivity through silver particles). To my surprise, it does not. The published range is 0.16-0.20 W/mK, which is pretty much what you get for most tape products.

We use specialized thermally conductive tapes in a range >= 1 W/mK. I am always looking for interesting developments in this domain.
> The machine can't know before that it will be audited so if you test thousands of machines and find no discrepancy it's highly unlikely a significant portion of the others did cheat

> It also shows that in 2013 they audited "only" 20k machines out of almost millions yet found no discrepancy. Statistically that's probably good enough if the choice of machines audited was random

So how do you protect against the corrupt actor manipulating every machine except the percent that will be checked?

> With a paper ballot you have to trust that the poll workers are going to notice/stop/not help ballot stuffing etc

There's a simple and straight forward solution: Have people from opposing political parties count the vote and check each others result. If you have members of the far left, far right and everything in between sitting there, checking each others results, theres about a 0% chance any vote will be miscounted.

> In these cases a machine outputting an auditable digital model of the votes cast would greatly simplify counting procedures. You could have every polling station just publish a signed file with the votes in their station and everyone could run the election algorithm

There is no difference between a machine publishing the counted votes and the poll workers publishing the counted votes, is there?
Webassembly is also gaining steam for server workloads due to several advantages (less overhead, better capability based security, composability, ...).

See Spin [1], Wasmcloud [2], Lunatic [3], etc.

My system is based on a distributed Webassembly runtime.

The reason for taking inspiration from Kubernetes is making deployment of distributed workloads on that runtime easy.

A nice benefit for a Kubernetes alike system is that the equivalent to operators and controllers can be much more light-weight WASM actors that are easier to develop, deploy and scale.

How do they charge more profitable customers more in that case?

Market segmentation by ability to pay can mean cheaper imagery for a chunk of the market than a flat fee.
This really isn't too different than what is already done, but it does as you say add more layers of indirection.

Consider: Prior to Docker, you'd typically go to AWS or a virtual host provider, spin up your OS of choice, install any relevant system dependencies, language runtimes, set up a CI/CD pipeline, and finally deploy.

The only real difference between what I just described and Docker / Nix / additional layers is that we (as an industry/profession) have not yet built sufficiently ergonomic tooling to make this trivial.

AWS and similar cloud providers did away with much of the server and network setup. Docker has done away with some of the application environment setup.

All that said, Nix does seem to be trying to replace something we already have a workable answer to (host/app config). Whether or not the additional overhead is worthwhile even after ergonomics have caught up will probably depend on your own use-cases.

I can see it being useful for high-trust environments (finance, medicine, anything else regulated). It could also do a lot to improve the general security of the OSS ecosystem by giving projects a path forward to truly reproducible binaries. Outside of those contexts, you probably don't care until tooling gets to the point where you can opt-in and get those guarantees "for free".
In Inkscape you can exports an Optimized SVG and set the precision to reduce it and output a smaller file.
The author points to 30 eyewitnesses he has spoken with and that the current evidence doesn't rule out his proposition.
This is a really interesting process you have figured out! Thanks so much for the thorough walk-through!

I'm seeing a pattern here (including from other things I've read recently) of these long pauses, that instead of it being a constant nag or being tossed out entirely, using it as a temporary put-aside, so we can potentially regain interest in it, or at least have a refreshed outlook, etc..

This is really good stuff, thanks again!
> I’m expecting within ten years to see gas stations closures stranding isolated communities, with the phenomenon becoming commonplace by 2040.

Gas stations make most of their money as convenience stores, often selling gas at very narrow margins.

Additionally, the average age of the cars on the road is >10 years. The sales today are not supportive for your thesis unless the price of gas continues higher.
I'm on a streak of not buying anything from Amazon for about two years now. I've paid a few dollars more for each item through other vendors most of the time but it's worth it.

> CentOS, have you missed the news?

Alternatives popped up literally days after the annoumcement of centos stream. We got back to original point. If you know the history of rhel and its clones, you surely know they used to be tenth of projects similar to centos, some much more active/reactive. The redhat funding of centos as a perfect rhel clone is more a parenthesis in history than anything.

So in the end freeloaders still get exactly what they want.

> Yeah there is CentOS Stream now, but that isn't what freeloaders want.

I would say that isn't what some freeloaders think they want. All the feedback I get from people deciding to stick to centos stream and trying it out before a potential switch to something else has bern mostly the same: a lot of fuss for nothing, their life hasn't changed and centos is still meeting their needs.
For a new company, product features tend to overlap current or future needs of the users. If they didn't think of other people, they would probably not be billionaires. I suppose once you're a large company you can influence users in a way, but not really in a mass mind-control sort of way.

>What we need is more competition. How we do that? Not really sure. Though I think nationalism is a good start.

The companies don't want the kind of competition you're proposing though. All these companies spend massive amounts of money in loss-leading markets just so they become the ubiquitous platform of choice in all markets. Also, given that we don't have a world-government - what exactly are you proposing?

I could be completely clueless here, but it looks to me like a lot of the Lyft/Uber/etc cut is going to:

1) Overpaid, wasteful software engineering (no offense to us). Like someone here said, there are a lot of cheap software solutions out there to handle this stuff

2) R&D into crazy moonshot ideas

3) Advertising

4) Making a completely opaque techno-dystopian game out of people's livelihoods in order to manipulate drivers into working harder for less money and riders into paying less up front and as much as possible in the long run

If I'm right, I'd ideally like to completely destroy this market for good. Fragment it into a separate crappy home-made app for each city that you find out about via a poster on the wall in the airport when you land. I'm hoping that with enough transparency and flexibility, riders and drivers would keep each other in check and come to a happy and sustainable middle ground without making any VCs rich

(Or maybe Uber/Lyft are operating on a level of efficiency that would make my half-baked idea look like a joke. Ain't nobody disrupting Amazon or Apple from their basement any time soon)
You'd still notice a difference between two lineages diverging for a few hundreds or thousands of years and a two lineages diverging for hundreds of thousands of years or more.

It's not just size or deformity, but other features that will diverge.

Don’t they use past decisions as juris-prudence? With centuries of constitutional decisions you start to have a good amount of records to base your judgement on.

But generally speaking I feel that the “interpretation of the constitution” where judges have the responsibility to interpret century old documents is a very US thing, other democracies generally have a more recent constitution, and see it as a living document.
The long term plan of conservatives is to make taxes as frustrating as possible, then change tax day to November 3rd.
> but that soapbox will be kicked from under you in the form of...

Right. Just like a real-life soapbox.

I don't think you understand what it would mean to go into a public square - at ANY point in history, and start screaming the kinds of things that get you banned by Cloudflare, ISPs, and AWS.

We're not talking about stuff like "I have a different perspective on who should be chief of our tribe". The kind of political rhetoric that will inspire future generations of enlightened intellectuals to say "I disagree with what you say but I will fight to the death for your right to say it".

We're talking about content that has NEVER been acceptable to be preached in a public sphere. The kind of content that societies have always intolerated. Nothing is different. Nothing has changed about that.

It's trivial to have fast compilation speed if all you do is transpile to C (naively, i.e. without any program analysis) and use TCC to compile the C (again, naively, that's why it's so fast). Such "languages" are often written as CS homework assignments.

But even with the transpilation step, the V transpiler is still unable to output correct code on trivial examples, demonstrated in other comments. The fact that you have thousands of tests (Alex's words) and the trivial examples still fail, makes me completely sure that something about the whole approach is fundamentally wrong; which lead me to the "testing whether your regex parses html properly" comment. Tests are useless if the thing you're testing does not prove anything.

The fact that the author is pushing this unfinished mess as a completed achievement (instead of work in progress), without ever mentioning any downsides (except when presented with undeniable proof, at which point he makes up another justification for the issue), only shows the author's inexperience and disconnection from the community. V compiler is a toy project wrapped up in a pretty box to look like something serious. And when faced with criticism, Alex seems to turn to his three different accounts to argue with the commenters, instead of reading the damn Dragon Book and fixing his damn compiler.

To me, personally, V language is the perfect example of an overhyped griftwork.

Rocking a Asus vivobook flip tm420. Ryzen 5700u, nvme storage, 16gb memory. Enough grunt to run a VM win11 ontop of base win11 install. Cost me 1300 bucks, battery lasts 6-8 hours running VM and main os both with your average admin workloads (browsers with 50x tabs and a few office apps).

It also has a 360 hinge so it can become a tablet. Love it. Great for work, any workloads that are heavier and I'm on a desktop. Only downer is no usb-c charging but eh that's barely the end of the world. Rig gets treated rough like the tool it is. Cops a thrashing. People overthink laptops imo.

I advise my clients against any major vendor lock in or bs high priced gear. Also having worked fixing Dells and lenovos under big corp contracts I advise against those too. Their support/diag is terrible. The money you save not buying their overpriced bs you can use for a few hot spares and still have coin leftover to spend on your local IT guy.

Deadset go do it on a desktop if you need more grunt than 1500 bucks can buy you. If your doing long haul sessions of work 8+ hours go use a desktop with a real keyboard and mouse too your ergo w/ a laptop is probably terrible. I'm not a fan of having laptops used as desktops, short runs sure but if your leaving it plugged in at a desk 8 hours a day get a desktop. Less ruined batteries, less headaches for me as your IT lol.

Tldr dell are AVG, Lenovo are AVG, apple are also AVG. Buy something cheap that gets the job done you'll replace it in 36 months anyways.
> On the other hand who cares? Free Software does not need to grow

Sure, there's no VC breathing down the neck of Debian, but arguably the purpose of free software is to provide software freedom for users. If people aren't able to use that free software, it's a bit pointless. Further, a (small) fraction of users grow into developers creating more free software.

To the extent non-free firmware allows more people to use free software, I don't think it's clear at all that a puritan approach to firmware is a net win for software freedom.
Irony of fate is that our history is documented on vertical videos. For me it is proof that it is only about consumerism, quantity and emotions.

Everything you say is true but I think the weights on your arguments are off.

A well funded adversary WILL take over your Google account. They'll do it by installing a keylogger and stealing your cookies, they'll do it because they know what signals the account recovery process is looking for - much better than you do, they'll do it because hacking you is far easier than hacking Google. (Two-factor authentication done properly, with printed backup codes in a safe location, can prevent hijacking most of the time.)

Second, Google accounts constantly do get hijacked every day. This draconian status quo might have been justified if it would prevent all hijackings, but it doesn't.

Third, my Google account is not my most important account. My bank account and portfolio which hold my life savings are arguably more important. But somehow I'm not worried at all about losing access to them.

Again, no system is perfect and it's mathematically impossible to identify the correct person for every account. But I still believe you can get the same false positive and false negative ratios without getting blog post after blog post from people who are completely stuck.
I'm really not sure what your argument is here.

LinkedIn serves pages containing their users' info, and users are made aware of this. These pages require no authentication, presumably because they're a marketing tool. People built scrapers to obtain that public info. LinkedIn said that was illegal, the court says it isn't.

I don't see who loses here, other than LinkedIn and other sites that want the benefits of listing information without the downsides.
