Youth culture is alive and well.

And as for music subcultures, I'm a fan of several genres which have distinctive fashions, art styles and world views - rave, psytrance, drum and bass, hardcore punk, metal. It's great to go along to gigs and meet people from those different groups.

I think what has changed is that those subcultures are no longer exclusive to young people. It has become more acceptable for people to be outwardly "alternative" later in life, so people remain in the cultures they found when they were young.
Except that didn't happen in 2020 where poll watchers even suspected of not fitting the desired demographic were excluded.

And that looks to be a continuing trend judging by stories like this.

Regardless of the usefulness of sports in schools (and I do believe they are useful), you point out that they are "often limited in participation by elitism" much as I suppose the critics of gifted & talented programs would say of those programs. If so, then they must be studied to make sure they don't disproportionately exclude certain racial groups. If racial imbalance is a guideline for cancellation then it should apply to every program and activity.
Most new companies now are on generic TLDs ( or .nets, .orgs, etc). Don't think .com matters as much anymore
Exempting motor vehicles is also pretty terrible in my opinion, as someone who knows how to build one from parts but needs to go get fleeced by dealers thanks to all the obstacles they create for self repair.
And also: Poor folks don't survive long enough to become seniors who vote.

> At a high level, Polaris interacts with a stateful service as a client and assumes no knowledge of the service internals. This allows it to be generic. We have dozens of Polaris integrations at Meta. “Cache should eventually be consistent with the database” is a typical client-observable invariant that Polaris monitors, especially in the presence of asynchronous cache invalidation. In this case, Polaris pretends to be a cache server and receives cache invalidation events.

I'm a bit confused here. Polaris behaves as a regular cache server which receives invalidation events, but isn't the typical bug related to cache invalidation that a service forgets to contact the cache server for invalidation? So this will only catch cases where (1) you remember to contact Polaris, but you forgot to contact other cache servers [which Polaris happens to know about], OR (2) you're not handling errors during invalidation requests to the cache server [and the request to Polaris was successful]? Or are you cache servers "smart" and might have internal logic which "ignores" an invalidation?

What am I missing?

EDIT: Reading through "A real bug we found and fixed this year" and I'm still a bit confused. It seems like a very contrived bug directed directly to how you deal with versioning (e.g. you allow the latest version to be present with stale metadata, or something?). My main concern with cache invalidation is what to invalidate at what time.

Wow, I wonder how they got him to leave a 46 million per year job. I'm guessing a lot of equity..
I'm not saying there aren't holes...but there is a lot of evidence shown that can't really be disputed. I'm certainly not saying to take it 100% what they say...but it should be investigated further. Why take pictures of the ballot boxes after dropping off a bunch of ballots at 3AM? Why go to so many different ballot boxes one after another after another? Why use gloves and then throw them away right next to the ballot box...all starting right after someone was charged with voting fraud by using their fingerprints? I don't believe the numbers they calculated for sure...but individually the video evidence shown is damning.
too late for me, it will forever be "toyt"
Every company lays off their own way. When I've had to get involved in layoffs the decision comes from upper management. It's either "Shut down this department or project" or "Cut x% from your payroll." If a whole department or project gets shut down then some of the people working in that group may have the opportunity to move to another group. If the layoff is about cutting payroll I've always seen it as a spreadsheet ordered by salary with some names hilited because they are considered too valuable or irreplaceable, or get to keep their jobs for some other reason. Some people get laid off regardless of salary because it's a convenient way to fire them.

Any money spent obtaining a visa like an H1B is already spent, it's not part of the ongoing payroll expenses, so I doubt it comes into the equation. Some companies pay people on visas less because the visa is tied to the job, reducing the employee's options and bargaining power. Finding yourself lower down on the salary spreadsheet may work to your advantage.
> Are the parties causative?

Or is it the other way around? Commenters occasionally often point out the "red states" are the biggest recipients of welfare in spite of being the ones that vote most against it. To me, it seems that the most likely explanation for this is that the voters there see the negative effects of welfare and the ones who are voting for it are insulated most from the unintended consequences. It could just as easily be that the voters who see the most death are voting for the party they most feel will enact policies that will lead to less of it.
You asked "Why didn't that sort of analysis find fraud in Philadelphia in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018?" And I answered it. Is that a sufficient answer or not?

To your new questions, yes, there are well-established ways to detect monkey business from machine-maniputation or ballot-stuffing. Basically, you make sure that the results line up between the paper ballots and the machine counts, and that the number of paper ballots you have matches the number of voters who checked in at the precinct. https://www.vote.pa.gov/About-Elections/Pages/Post-Election-... By law, elections generate a lot of data across independent sources. Rigging an election undetected is hard because you need to make sure those data sources remain consistent.

If you're skeptical of elections, I encourage you to volunteer to be a poll worker. Learn your state's procedures and carry them out more faithfully than how you think they're otherwise done today.
The end of the piece makes it pretty explicit what the point is actually: authors believe democratic policies are better and should be pushed to republican regions.
They then go on to talk out of both sides of their mouth on this front, that "health care shouldn't be enmeshed with politics" but hoping that politicians will
"listen" to them.
Google Chrome Extensions That Improve My Coding Workflow
Seems like a problem that will solve itself eventually, admittedly with much collateral damage.
Generally alloys can selectively corrode, so with a combination of gold and iron the iron may still be attacked. But certainly some gold alloys provide improved hardness without being very vulnerable.

For a boat the gold coating would need to include all metal parts in contact with the water (rudder pins, prop shaft, etc) and it would be an interesting experiment to learn whether it really prevents fouling (I can imagine that wear and damage to the coating might provide cervices for growth to anchor)

I think this is a question about becoming dependant on abstraction rather than where the abstraction is run.

I don't think that being "in the cloud" makes abstraction that much more pronounced. You can have manually configure dev VMs in the cloud or automatically configured dev VMs locally, the later will probably use more abstraction.
Oh no that's fine, I just didn't like the initial seeds for a new 2fa enrollment being magically transferred to the authy app without my control/intervention. See https://authy.com/guides/twilio/ and note that it's not the usual "scan the qr code". The seed is transmitted straight to authy, which, safe or not, takes away control from me to add that same seed elsewhere.

You need some amount of this sort of practice to build numeracy. It's great to represent things in more accessible forms but at the end of the day it's useful for citizens to instantly recognize 3+5=8.
This seems implausible at first: A 34 year old Unix-based platform with no previous Doom port. I spent a few minutes furiously googling this, pulling out all of my tricks. Nope. I couldn't find a previous port. Please someone else try it. There must be one, right? I want to live in universe that makes sense.

Yes and no.

If everything needs 5 databases, 4 queues, 3 caches and all of this is written in 7 different languages, then yeah I guess cloud is the way to go.

If you just shove shit into postgres and pull it out again using something like postgraphile then I don't think cloud does much for you.

The Flipside of the "computers gets faster and faster"-argument is that more and more can be done on one machine.

Compute supply is growing faster than demand. Today's apps are not that much more complex than the apps of 10 years ago, but computers are much faster. Human beings read and type at the same speed today than 10 years ago so I don't really see this changing massively.

Obviously all the BigCos listed can't run on one machine, but a very large percentage of stuff can.
When you generate your world you can change the amount of layers per layer zone.

I don't know the minimum off hand but it is probably around 6 normal stone or cave levels, minus the levels used for open sky space and magma sea which I don't know the minimum for. Trees are multilevel now and I don't know that they will grow on a single layer.
It certainly creates conflicts of interest with the goal of an election, or rather a mixed group decreases the motivations for collusion
The gloves one is easy - some people took Covid as a serious threat to themselves and wore gloves - I saw many people wearing gloves to shop and then throwing them away before getting to their car.

It's also interesting that the map of ballot drop boxes was wholly incorrect in 2000 mules.

Finally, one of the alleged mules was reached out to - and it transpired he was not, in fact, a mule, but was dropping off the ballots for himself, his wife, and adult children, which is entirely within the law.
it sounds like you may be getting tripped up by a setting that will expand your selections automatically, even when you don’t want that. Try disabling this.

Excel (or any spreadsheet) is good for calculations if you set things up responsibly. Don’t throw things together casually and expect it to just figure it out. Build your formulas in modules so that you can check results. Test the model. This is a kind of programming and will do better if you treat it like that.
Yeah but those aren't called blockchain!
Yes. But in reality it was more "write once, debug everywhere". It was actually quite a nice concept, but the resulting UIs were inevitably clumsy and had that distinctive (ugly to me) look, no matter what the platform promised. If it doesn't look good out of the box, it won't look good later either.
> General purpose computation on your own machine is probably going to be illegal in 20 years...

This - to me - is the worst part of the article, because as much as I loathe the idea, I fear this may be correct.

I am very afraid that, at the very least, you'll likely need some sort of carry permit to be allowed to write code on a machine connected to the net and where everything the machine does is connected to that permit and your identity.
Before looking for cause, you always look for plausible co-variates. Here, there are a ton: red counties tend to be rural. Rural places have huge problems with health care access, obesity, addiction, poverty, and many other issues that predict poor health outcome.
Well, what's interesting is that Rimworld has a good UI/UX and has the same formula/gameplay loop at DF. Last I remembered, it had the highest user rating on steam for awhile. Many, including myself, consider it as one of the greatest games ever made.

DF is also occasionally listed as a contender for "best game ever made" - but the fact that it's inaccessible will always force it to be obscure and nearly mystical among gamers. I'm also convinced that the modding community in rimworld has overtaken its DF equivilant, meaning that modded rimworld is probably more filled with content (and therefor, emergent possibility) in 2022 than DF-with-mods is...

---------------------------

I always thought that Dwarf Fortress should be compared to Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead (CDDA) on the UI/UX front.

I think CDDA is the gold standard for ASCII/CLI/TUI style of control - and I find that I can extremely quickly do things in that game all on my keyboard, almost like a tiling window manager.

I'm sure this sort of nirvana is possible with Dwarf Fortress (with the LNP) - but I was unable to achieve it, despite having sunk over 500 hours into rimworld and nearly as much in CDDA before playing DF.
This comment and the replies are based on incorrect assumptions.
Is this context the words "hierarchy" and "authority" are used exclusively to refer to the coercive aspect that can exist. Anarchism does not oppose social organization in itself!

The whole point about "unspoken social popularity" and tyranny of of structurelessness is based on a misunderstanding.
I can even see this applied to human existence. Thinking out of the box is basically glitching your ideas.
Not sure if the parent author meant a specific company or was just referring to the general domain of certificate verification. There are certificate verification projects in the blockchain space that go beyond what you describe.
Yep. I have done quite a bit of work in the SDoH space. It's pretty widely discussed thst there is a negative correlation of SDoH measures like ADI and age.

Tragic.
Even if the entire German populace woke up tomorrow in full support of nuclear power, that would not change the immediate issue. We need a lot more electrical energy very soon to phase out combustion as a power source across all sectors (from residential heating to mobility). Waiting for 10+ years for nuclear reactors to be constructed is not a viable solution.

As an example for that "10+ years" timescale, you can look at our direct neighbor France: They are now starting the planning phase on new nuclear reactors that are supposed to go on-line in 2035-2037, so 13-15 years from now. And that's in a country that's a) pretty much all-in on nuclear and b) already experiencing power shortages (that are only offset by the ability to import power from other countries such as Germany).

There was surely a time where constructing nuclear reactors went quicker in Germany, around the 1960s-1970s, but that's because we had an experienced industry at the time. Once you stop building specific things like this for some time, you lose the specialists required to do so.
How both of these can be true?

> Data in cache is not durable, which means that sometimes version information that is important for conflict resolution can get evicted.

> We also added a special flag to the query that Polaris sends to the cache server. So, in the reply, Polaris would know whether the target cache server has seen and processed the cache invalidation event.

To make special flag work, cache server need to track not only current version state, but also past versions. If it tracks past versions, then conflicts can be resolved at the cache server level, but whole premise of article is that cache servers can't resolve conflicts by themselves.
Yes, it is. It compares age-adjusted mortality rates without taking other factors into account. What this study shows is that upper middle-class urban and suburban voters - who are more likely to vote D - have a lower mortality rate than lower and lower middle-class rural voters - who are more likely to vote R. While the article states that [r]egardless of whether we looked at urban or rural areas, people living in areas with Republican political preferences were more likely to die prematurely than those in areas with Democratic political preferences it fails to notice that 'areas with democratic political preferences' in rural states tend to be more urban and as such have more upper middle-class D voters which resemble their ideological compatriots in coastal urban areas more than they have in common with the small town and rural R voters elsewhere in their rural states.

This may be just a classical correlation =/= causation error or it is campaign fodder for the upcoming elections.
I know for a fact that where I vote it is impossible to vote more than once (or close to, Berlin managed to fuck up voting last year for some reason). How is it impossible? Everyone is centrally registered with their primary residence. Based on these records, invitations are sent out prior to elections. With that invitation, or passport or ID, you show up at your voting local (of which there are plenty, the school just across the street has three of those and it is far from the only place in our town). There volunteers check you invitation or ID, hand you your ballot, verify you drop in the ballot box and strike from the voting list for this election. Not on the list? No ballot. No documents? No ballot. Since there are thousands of those locales, preliminary results are available in the first two hours after voting closes. We have no waiting lines (most of the time, Berlin is the exception that proofs the rule but then we talk about Berlin...). Mail-in voting works just fine and without any constraints. ballots are archived (for a very long time, I'm too lazy to check the exact duration), so if there are any doubts everything can be rechecked.

No idea how the US just fails at the most simple thing in a democracy, voting. Or rather I have an idea, with gerrymandering and such shenanigans it seems to be by design to keep certain demographics from voting too much.
Tarn is outsourcing the UI and art. I think the art looks fantastic, better than any DF tileset I've seen.

They can say what they want. What is realistic is that Qualcomm is ahead of any Intel and AMD offerings by using Cortex-X2, they just have to go ahead and build that SoC.

There's two steps to the process:

Step one, check the signature, the voter roles, and remove the envelope. Throw the ballot into the bin to be counted.

Step two, count the ballot. This ballot now has no identifiable information on it at all. There's no way to verify that a person's ballot was correctly tallied.

So if you wanted to ballot stuff, you could do so prior to step two. Recounts wouldn't identify fraud, you're just counting anonymous ballots again.

The NY Times wrote about the possibility for mail-in voter fraud back in 2012: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/07/us/politics/as-more-vote-...
Compression techniques have vastly improved improved since those days. Encoding requires fast processing to be done in realtime. I didn't check their math, but we sure weren't streaming audio with our 2400 or 9600 baud modems back then, and we couldn't encode mp3s at play speed on our PCs in the early 1990s.

Having been in public school for most of my life I can say unequivocally: yes. It is not uncommon for teachers to purchase books and classroom supplies out of pocket since there simply is not enough funding.
Adjustable rate loans and all kinds of investment products don't make good financial sense, but that's not the same thing as a scam. An ARM is not fraudulent, it's just dangerous, in the same way that credit cards are easy to abuse but aren't scams or ponzi schemes.
