Voting security is now a political disaster area. Sensible people have been pointing out problems for years, since the Bush vs Gore "hanging chad" business and before. One example is Schneier: https://www.schneier.com/tag/voting/

However, in the most recent election, there was a spate of bogus claims of election interference by Republicans presenting no evidence and trying to get the election overturned by various executive actions at various levels. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2020/11/undermining-d...

People can understand paper voting, but will they? Or will they just listen to their favorite partisan news source telling them that the election has been stolen and to march on the legislature with their guns?

Again, as a DO customer I want to be able to see any complains fired against me. Point in plus for them from the perspective of a potential customer.

...you seem to misunderstand what the desired attributes of a cloud provider are. Besides at most having marginally more spam in the world, how you seem to say the ideal cloud provider should behave is really worse for everyone. You're playing a "oh but think of the children" argument but with "spam" recipients instead of the children so it's hard to have any sympathy for such malicious reasoning.

The simple model consist of buy and sell orders, buys come with a max price, sell comes with a min price, both come with quantities.

Just have to meet in the middle by dynamically accumulating orders by quantity from both sides and after the prices met, set that as the actual sell price and discard the rest of the order as not filled.
Don't forget that the use-after-free used was also artificial - ie. OP didn't discover one, he added a UAF bug to go exploit.

The fact he got KASAN working and talks about fuzzing suggests he looked for one, but couldn't find one, which is a good sign.

The vast majority of my monthly spending (with a few notable exceptions like mortgage and electricity bill) goes on a single credit card. That card's website and app also gives me an overview of my spending and categorizes it. What you say can work in the credit card world.

And as the other commenter's reply says, all my credit cards pay me cash back or a points system which is redeemable for things with high cash value. There's a real quantifiable cost to not using them.
>Most people have a solution in mind before they even look at the problem, and that solution is usually

"put it on the blockchain"

But to your point, you're absolutely right. If you want to actually deliver valuable solutions, you need to have a good understanding of what unmet need you're trying to address. Otherwise you end up with a bad problem-solution match, and you waste everyone's time. Too often, technically minded people put too much emphasis on what's novel instead of what's valuable.

The second one is interesting for using hexadecimal in its new syntax format, even though octal is a natural fit for a 15-bit word and was used in the display. The reverse was common back in the 70s and 80s, so I guess it's always been about which is understood rather than which is correct.

>Once we go back to paper, a ranking system becomes quite a bit harder to implement

I assume your "yes/no" for each candidate is designed to make it easier for a machine to count? If you get rid of machines and have humans who can be observed to show they're doing it correctly (which I think is the best way, since then the whole process can be easily understood by every voter) then it's not harder, it just takes longer as you have to run another round of counting as you eliminate candidates who didn't get sufficient votes.

Vote counts don't need to come back same night or next day, the media can drum up drama in some other way than an all-night results watch. Obviously you have some pretty large districts with vastly more votes to count, but in those larger districts you also have a larger pool of volunteers to count.

Ranking candidates in preference order also works the way that people think: "I want X, and if I can't have X I'd be OK with Y, or failing that with Z".

None of these solutions will stop the bad-faith actors in the political system claiming that everything is rigged, but you'll never make those folks happy unless their candidate wins with the level of landslide they want
Would something like `flomat` have helped?

https://docs.racket-lang.org/manual-flomat/index.html
When I was a kid, I had a similar noise (and resistance to turning). I took apart my bike with whatever tools I had and at some point found the ball bearings. Took them out, wiped off "all the dirty grease" and put them back in and tightened it all up. Needless to say, it got worse. It was a good lesson, though- only take apart your spare bike, and bring the prod bike to a real mechanic until you know what you're doing.
You are probably pulling firebase into your preview code somewhere. You should structure your previews to depend on mock implementations of your model (or mock data). It will make the previews much faster and more reliable.

My app also uses firebase and SwiftUI with hundreds of files (views, view models, and more) with no problems.
This looks similar to what I'm doing with DocUI, which sends JSON over HTTP to a Flutter engine. https://nexusdev.tools

I'm working on getting a release out in the next month or two (Open Source).
If you use SwiftUI at all, the app has to start with the SwiftUI lifecycle (Edit: May not be true, see replies). But then you can wrap any UIView or UIViewController in a SwiftUI wrapper (UIViewRepresentable and UIViewControllerRepresentable). So that view/controller will be presented by SwiftUI's navigation logic, but inside that view/controller, you can write a whole UIKit app if you want.

The new Cadillac Lyriq is a step in the right direction.

But I also must say that the 59,995$ MSRP Gasoline Corvette C8 is a step in the right direction as well.

When people dream that's the sort of cars they dream about: attainable luxury of a Lyriq or the attainable C8 which is essentially an affordable Ferrari made in Detroit.

People don't want to own a Tesla which is plain on the outside and frankly speaking very empty and low quality once you step inside
Wood biodegrades, and yet we still build houses out of wood. It's not that wood rot is never a problem, but it's far from apocalyptic.

> In an 18 month, placebo-controlled study with 40 subjects (age 51–84 years), researchers found that 90mg of curcumin twice a day improved outcomes of verbal, visual, and attention test scores by 28%.

> Dr. Gary Small of the Longevity Center at the University of California and a team of 15 other scientists tested the compound on 40 adults aged between 51 and 84, all of whom had mild memory problems.

> For a total of 18 months, the participants were randomized to one of two groups. One group took 90 milligrams of curcumin twice daily, while the other group took a placebo. The curcumin used in this study was a bioavailable form called Theracurmin, which the researchers describe as a “form of curcumin with increased intestinal endothelium penetrability”

The highlight here, for me, is the "all of whom had mild memory problems". In pretty much everything I've seen about cognitive performance improvement, "fixing a problem" is way easier than improving performance. I wouldn't expect a 30% boost for patients that don't have mild memory problems.
> Compulsory voting. You have to turn up to the booth and receive a ballot paper, but it's then up to you what you do with it.

This is untrue. It is not only a crime in Australia not to properly fill out your ballot paper, but part of properly filling out your ballot means fully ranking your choices. Encouraging others to not fill out their ballot paper or rank all choices is a crime.

I don't completely understand why everyone who thinks the Australian system is good gets this wrong. Ranked-choice voting in Australia compels Australians to choose a preference between the two major parties, creating support for them on paper that doesn't actually exist.

edit: it might even be criminal for you, if you were/are an Australian, to have posted here that it is legal not to completely and properly complete your ballot paper.

If you want to de-polarize America, bring back meaningful federalism. The government in Washington is no longer federal in its character. It has become the national government our founders warned us about. The individual 50 states ought to be doing as much as possible, and the federal government as little as possible. But that's not what we've got.

We're a nation of some 330 million people, of diverse religions and ethnicities, geographies and economies. Who in his right mind believes one-size-fits-all solutions should be expanded to include every aspect of life? We need political diversity to go along with the diversity I just described.

What that means is that Americans are going to have to get used to leaving one another alone. In other words, New Yorkers are going to have to allow Alabamans to live in their "ignorance," and Mississippians are going to have to allow Californians to live in their "sin."

The upside of this political diversity is what some have characterized as "50 laboratories for democracy." Each state will have the benefit to try, and to succeed or fail; and, just as importantly, to see what neighboring states are doing and learn thereof.

But I'm arguing that no shuffling of chairs at the national level will do anything to reduce polarization. We need to stay out of one another's business. Good fences make good neighbors.

This reminds me of when I unstuck a drawer using thermodynamics.

The drawer was getting locked after I pulled it out X or so inches, where Y is the full length the drawer can come out and X < Y.

I thought, "this is an implicit restriction on the degrees of freedom the drawer should have". Then I thought, well, if this system has fewer degrees of freedom than it should have, then I need to add degrees of freedom to it so that it may come unstuck.

How to add degrees of freedom? Well, I could attempt to add entropy to the system, so that becoming unstuck could asymptotically become a part of its configuration space, and it may come free!

I shook the drawer vigorously.

It came unstuck.

We don't have "a credit score" in the US either. We have a credit history, much like you describe. For the businesses that review someone's credit history, the credit agencies provide some assortment of algorithms to help quantify it for them. This is colloquially called your "credit score", but in reality, there isn't a single credit score, there's a bunch of different algorithms and everyone uses a different one. The equivalent to a US "credit score" in Norway would be, a creditor's formula for determining creditworthiness from your credit history.

The alternative to algorithmic scoring is often worse: someone making a subjective judgement call. Which, historically, is fraught with discrimination.

I think that's true only as long as the only electric cars you have driven are Teslas. The BMW i3 has pretty much resisted this tendency. Ok, it's already a pretty old design at this point and getting phased out, but it has lots of physical buttons (even for the seat warmer!). And I don't think electric cars that are variants of existing petrol cars (which are more and more common) will eliminate the physical controls just because they put an electric engine into the car. Or, otherwise said: if you buy an electric car from a tech company (or somebody trying too hard to emulate them), you get a touchscreen. If you buy an electric car from a car company, you get physical controls...
> While the book is focused towards those with programming experience, previous knowledge of Crystal itself is not required.

How much is Ruby knowledge assumed though? I was very interested in Crystal, but was put off by how much of the learning material was written as a sort of diff against the way Ruby does things - implicitly assuming that we know Ruby and only mentioning things that differ from it. I understand that's probably an important audience for Crystal, so perhaps there should explicitly be two versions of the learning resources - one for those who know Ruby and just want the differences, and one for those who want to learn Crystal as a fresh new language of its own.

Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey, and Cathie Wood have been putting these livestreams on YouTube where they talk about the future of Crypto and offer BTC to lucky viewers. These go on for like 5 hours and are largely Elon talking with the other two nodding. To me, it comes off like an attempt to pump up the price in the short term, because Elon knows he can do that.

Ten years ago I used to play PlanetSide 2 a bit, which is pretty similar to what you descibe. Just gotta swap the RTS-part with FPS :)

But there is war waging back and forth the planetary map, 24/7. Well it was like this when I played, I have no idea what changed since then.

After a while, the constant back-and-forth appeared kinda meaningless though. First it was amazing being part of some coordinated move to take over 2/3 of the map, but the next day it was all gone and the cycle repeated itself.

Once you get the pattern, it is still fun of course, but the fascination wears off pretty quick, honestly.
But it does seem like the motorists who are angry blame the bikes, not the politicians.
As far as I know they're sticking to it.
There are elements of a vicious cycle in all this, but that doesn't absolve voters. Politicians lie about a lot of things, but in the US at least the two main parties are pretty consistent in their overall approaches and ideology. You may see opinion polls that Americans want this or that policy that never happens, but when they vote, they vote for candidates whose policies are very clear. It's like if you want government to take strong action on climate, then vote for a guy who very explicitly wants to do nothing about climate, then you don't actually want the government to take strong action on climate. And that's besides the many millions of voters who have access to all the information they could need to make an informed decision and still explicitly don't want to take action against climate change. And who is to blame for the millions of Americans who think the election system is rigged? Are they all just hapless goons under the thrall of a madman?

Notable: no direct reference to "conflict" or related terms in the original paper, but the conflict statement comes at the end of the discussion:

Drs. Small, Satyamurthy, Huang, and Barrio are among the inventors and have financial interest in TauMark, LLC. Dr. Small also reports having served as an advisor to and/or having received lecture fees from Allergan, Argentum, Axovant, Cogniciti, Forum Pharmaceuticals, Herbalife, Janssen, Lundbeck, Lilly, Novartis, Otsuka, and Pfizer. Dr. Heber reports receiving consulting fees from Herbalife, and the McCormick Science Institute. The manufacturer of Theracurmin, Theravalues Corporation, provided the Theracurmin and placebo for the trial, funds for laboratory testing of blood curcumin levels, and funds for Dr. Small's travel to the 2017 Alzheimer's Association International Conference for presentation of the findings.

They saved the worst conflict for last, of course. This paper earns a pretty easy Flag.
I found the book "get things done" helpful. i don't follow the system closely but it's a good mental model. It's especially helpful to have a list of medium and long term goals with associated next steps for when there's time.

> For most of US history the parties were ideologically and geographically mixed

This is simply false. For most of US history there was, with brief interruptions, both a stark ideological divide on the salient political issues between the two parties (even as the identities of one of the two major parties changed a couple times) and a sharp geographical divide between where the parties were dominant (both on the level of states and on the level of substate geography.) The big (in terms of a continuous block of time) exception is the long period of realignment between the 1930s and about the 1990s when the New Deal and then, before the effects of that had fully settled out, Johnson's support for Civil Rights shook up both the ideological and the geographic bases of the parties. (There are several shorter periods of realignment, especially around the transitions between the identities of the second major party, and even a short period where there was effectively only one major party, but all of those were shorter in aggregate than the 20th Century realignment.)

> with one party typically having a northern conservative and southern liberal wing and the other party the opposite

That's really not true, at least in terms of the salient issues of the day, outside of the long 20th century realignment (an aberration that lots of people have thought of as normal because it spanned much of their personal experience)—while parties did have distinct regional and even state characters, the local parties would be ideologically separated by the same axis as the national parties, but offset by local concerns and also divided over issues of local salience that lacked national salience—and it was particularly common for only one of the major parties to be remotely viable in most states (and sometimes, where that locally dominant party had viable competition, it wasn't from the other major national party.)
