For all the conspiracy theorists out there who still think there were more than seven million fraudulent votes cast in 2020, I wish I could give them the opportunity to try and vote fraudulently, with no legal consequences. You can do whatever it takes (caveat: no violence) to get those fake votes in. Document everything you did, record it all, present it when you're done and there will be no legal repercussions. We'll thank you for pointing out how easy the system is to game.

Give it your best shot, talk is cheap.
Requires coercion to enforce, like all contracts.
Thank you, you’ve explained this better than I could
This is amazing, love it!!
> They can't just make people up. They need to have the name and address of the registered voter who's voting.

To quote further up:

> and also cast fraudulent votes in support of Myers’ preferred candidates on behalf of voters she knew would not or did not physically appear at the polls.

And:

> They can't just re-vote at the same precinct. The EJs will absolutely notice a person coming in and voting more than once. If that gets noticed a single time, the EJ calls the sheriff (in Cook County, at least).

From the article:

> Beren, who was charged separately and pleaded guilty in October 2021, was the de facto Judge of Elections and effectively ran the polling places in her division by installing close associates to serve as members of the Board of Elections.

The election judge was the one doing this, didn't have to get past anyone.
I was in a gifted program but it was poorly executed and I deem it to have been detrimental to my growth.

I was randomly pulled from normal classes in order to hang out with a few other gifted students and do weird puzzles or whatever. Then later I’d have to figure out from classmates what I missed, including what homework to do etc. My social skills already sucked, and being labeled as special to the classmates whom I’d have to spend most of the day with certainly didn’t help.

I’m sure there a ways to do it better, but having no gifted program is better than a bad gifted program.
I can get Windows hardware for dirt cheap. Much cheaper than any Mac hardware. So if I am using the computer as essentially a dumb terminal to connect to a service over a network, there’s no reason to buy Mac hardware. Yes the hardware is janky and the OS is bad. But I’m getting what I pay for, and here my needs are modest, so why pay more?

Besides that, some people actually like Windows, or dislike Macs, though I’m not one of those people. I prefer the Mac. I just see when the Mac is a poor buy compared to Windows.

I don't think your last point is a significant lingual difference, it's a cultural difference. We have those words (you wrote them, just leave off the "person" part), they're just considered offensive to use that way.

Which, in your example sentence, they really shouldn't be - it's just a convenient way of describing appearance. But, well, turns out the culture didn't go that way.
One of us misunderstands what visual anchors are. I consider the staggered drop downs visual anchors.

I don't disagree with a single point you made about the anesthetics, and still passionately believe the ux is worse now. The new one would look better in a luxury furniture catalog but humans using it would take longer to complete tasks and produce more mistakes.
> "but for the majority of people who are of age to be posting here, if they were in a gifted program, it likely is because they had parents who helped them study for the tests to get in by spending money."

Source? It's certainly not the case for me individually, having been an immigrant child who got through on my own since my parents didn't know enough English to help me on homework and we were too poor to afford tutoring.
The design of the existing and previous mac mice and the new System Settings app in MacOS Ventura tell a different story.

You're making a massive assumption that she didn't already need to use React and may have been confused at how she would make the two systems work together correctly.

So, you're saying that school is an unpaid bullshit job and ought to remain that way? Why do you think that's acceptable? It's almost as if you want today's kids to suffer the same way that we had to when we were their age.

I've worked for LittleCo, and now I work for BigCo, a F100. I outgrew the LittleCo. There was literally nobody I could talk to about my work, and doing stuff at a higher level was probably threatening to a business with no succession planning.

Sometimes I amuse myself by imagining things from a management perspective, which I'm supposed to represent. I'm a physicist, not a software dev, so I don't know VM or SSL, in their particulars. But still, if the company has a process for making those things, in a way that's manageable and secure for the business, then it's a step towards automating them. From that perspective, the tasks that you did at LittleCo are seen as things that could, if not should, be automated. Or delegated.

One comment in this thread mentions BigCo turning people into drones, but viewed from a couple levels above you, doing work that could be automated or delegated, is drone work. Each "side" has its own view of what drones are and do.

It may take some effort, or even just patience, to get over the annoyance of "friction" that doesn't seem to bother the higher ups, and focus on the things that they care about, or you care about, or both. After nearly 25 years at BigCo, the friction actually has a negligible impact on my work. I avoid taking an emotional stake in stuff that isn't valued when viewed from above. What I take away is the learning that's of more widespread or lasting value.

Or you might like LittleCo better. In Man and Superman by George Bernard Shaw, two people are in heaven and hell, respectively, and neither one can stand it, so they agree to trade places. A couple things I've liked about BigCo: 1) It's unlikely that I will ever be the smartest person. There are world experts in my skill areas, whom I can talk to. 2) They've managed to stay in business, whereas not being able to stay in business was why the company had to sell out to BigCo in the first place.
This is PIR. You do have to download the whole database for information-theoretic security, but not for computational security. If you assume the hardness of some problem (in this case, lattices, but it is also possible from RSA, ECC, etc) it is possible to do much better than simply downloading the entire database.
You're not going to get it right. At worst you ll make the same mistakes and at best you ll do the opposite mistakes.

No migration, sunsetting, "this is legacy, let s redo it all" will ever fix anything. Fix what doesnt work.

LOL, this is about the time someone points out that faking the moon landing would be more expensive than just doing it. Tell me how you coordinate a pause across even a few different precincts, much less states, and then it'll be worth discussing whether you could invent 80K fraudulent votes in just the right places.
I highly recommend the movie Stray https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/stray_2021 It follows the life of some stray dogs in Istanbul.
It still is the vanguard of all those things, fortunately. The good news is that it seems the pendulum is beginning to swing the other way. For example, last night San Franciso booted the progressive soft-on-crime DA. This mirrors a trend in other progressive bases too. The mid-term elections will at this rate represent a chastising of the progressive left. Good riddance!
In the past I've used a timestamp key for the org. Create a key like f"org_{org.pk}" that has a timestamp. Then append that timestamp to the `get_users_for_org`. Now all you have to do is invalidate the org timestamp to generate a rolling key (requires more memory).
Yep. I respect this definition, and I tried to clarify things a bit here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31676102.

I am sorry for the confusion. We have internal abstractions that deals with the problem you described (especially in simpler forms, the example you have is fairly managable actually).

EDIT: I can see why it gets complicated if your data model and query is very complicated.
Everyone talking about how much this would simplify their workflow from going from development with type-checking to the browser ignores that you can run a single command and remove all type annotations already... I'm not sure what this proposal solves? Perhaps there should be an added item to vscode context menu that is "copy without type annotations". I feel this would be very easy to implement...
I haven't seen any of those near me, are they regional?
It's funny, Twitter should know when a tweet comes from an third-party API connection or not. If that information exists, wouldn't it be a great way to heuristically exclude posts a bunch of bots (even if users who use e.g. Nitter would have posts excluded as well?)
Can this functionality be implemented as a peer-to-peer (or federated) service?

I'm assuming it'll depend on breaking down questions into hierarchical sub-questions that can either be recomposed locally or in another homomorphic context. But can that sort of thing be done without data-leaks, or prohibitively expensive inter-node communication?

Are there any introductory resources (that you know of) on homomorphic encryption and compute that'll turn this into less of a mind-fuck?
Not sold on this vehicle. A cursory google search brings up a 9.6kW battery system for $4260.

I also was surprising to not see the solution to the cache invalidation. The blog post describes how the tracing/logging mechanism works, but what about the actual cache consistency/invalidation strategy? I.e. what about many-to-many where one fetch returns inconsistent results.. how do you even know it's inconsistent? What about data queried while there's a transaction rollback.. when is it updated in the cache?

Sorry if it sounds like silly questions, I was genuinely curious to learn about the strategy since the blog started with "When it comes to cache invalidation, we believe we now have an effective solution to bridge the gap between theory and practice"
Yep, Excel does something similar where it asks you "you have a large selection copied [(marching ants)], do you want to keep it available after closing Excel?"
Being able to recycle the vps for other self-hosted apps is nice (eg vpn, dns-level adblock, etc).

Also not having to learn another tech for something you'd only have to set up once every year or few years.
Based on the wide disagreement over whether or not this solves cache invalidation, this post provides strong evidence that the hardest bit is in fact naming things.

Passion for a subject can indeed propel you far ahead of your peers in that subject, but intelligence is what allows passion to continue and grow. No matter how much time you spend preparing the dumb kids they will struggle with difficult(or often easy) subjects and get frustrated - because of this passion will never develop, and it’s entirely reasonable to not become passionate about something you’re not capable of doing well at. I was a very smart kid, although very far from a genius. My parents were young earth creationists who knew nothing about science or computers and shielded me from science because of themes like evolution. The town I grew up in was in poor rural TX, so my teachers barely knew more. I certainly wasn’t well prepared to understand science, but yet I developed a passion for that and computer programming and became a voracious reader of everything I could find on it in the school library, acquiring knowledge far beyond my grade level. The less smart but wealthier and better prepared kids I knew growing up never caught up to me.
I commonly watch dev talks and walkthroughs on youtube at greater than 2x speed because the talkers make an effort to talk slowly for non native English speakers.

2 distinct strains "adding to health experts' confusion" LMAO! Maybe they aren't experts?

Can we skip the preamble this time? This isnt spreading in Africa. It's spreading in the highly vaccinated West.

14 of 29 Portuguese people who disclosed sexual orientation had AIDs. Several were hospitalised.

It's pretty clear that this virus attacks immunocompromised individuals, and that the world now has a shittonne of immunocompromised individuals.

How else to explain 2 strains in circulation where previous the longest recorded human to human transmission chain was 6 people?

Maybe this will come across as yet another Australian telling the Yanks how to suck eggs at this democracy thing (because I'm sure you haven't had enough of us tut-tutting you about your gun laws or health system), but I believe there are several key factors that mitigate against large-scale electoral fraud in Australia.

1. We have a single federal, non-partisan (ie. beauracratic not political) electoral commission, governed by federal laws that ensure that every federal election is managed the same way, uniformly across the federation (doesn't matter what state you are in). The Australian Electoral Commission is truly the jewel in our democracy. Check out https://www.aec.gov.au/

2. We don't use voting machines. Our system (whether via polling booth or postal) is entirely paper based. We have one of the slowest counts in the western world but also one of the most accurate. A slow count isn't an indicator of fraud - it's an indicator that the system is working.

3. We have compulsory voting. As another commenter pointed out, one fraud vector is harvesting real people's votes when those people haven't actually voted. Compulsory voting largely eliminates this vector. It also has the benefit of "centralising" the political compass as most people tend to be fairly reasonable. In optional voting systems, the political distribution is skewed to the edges due to the correlation of motivation-to-vote with more-extreme-political-position. Do you want to encourage centrists and discourage extremists? Implement compulsory voting.

4. We have preferential voting i.e. candidates are ranked. It's not the candidate with the greatest primary vote that wins the parliamentary seat for that electoral area, its the candidate that is "most preferred" i.e. garners the greatest overall preferences compared to other candidates. e.g. in the recent election some government MPs lost their seats even though they had a higher primary vote, because the rest of that electorate preferred the other gal/guy. I may vote Green as my first preference but my 2nd preference is for the Labour person and then the climate-change independent candidate ahead of the incumbent.

But like so many other things in the US, the cultural history of the primacy of the individual's right to vote or not, and the primacy of the states to define their own rules for how elections are run, along with the benefit to the political duopoly of your current system, means the chances of the US implementing any of the above is probably close to zero. Then again what do I know? Literally a month before the Soviet union fell apart I insisted to my then-girlfriend who was Lithuanian, that they would never be free and to stop wishing for fairy tale endings.
Not every agricultural operation is diversified like that. I don't have a great source, but this one is kind of ok if you flip back and forth between the maps. They have a better map that only works on desktop, and they have the raw data too.

Ask HN: What stops me from making an “NFT” with PayPal?
Seems to me I could do the following: stand up a web site where people can register and then buy the "rights" to an image on the site.

If people want to trade an image they might agree that A pays B $200. I make A pay $230, pay $200 to B, pay $15 to the payment processor, etc.

That updates the record in mysql or DynamoDB and now B has bragging rights that they own the image. I am sure the cost of running that database conventionally is less than doing it on Etherium.

Why not?
The parent post capitalized Certificate Transparency, so they probably meant the Certificate Transparency project, as described here: https://certificate.transparency.dev/

That's my bad, you are correct!

My assumption was that frame delay exploits the fact that CPU are way faster than original hardware (hence you can defer computation later since it will take less anyway) and since the most common trick to increase battery life is to slow down the CPU, eating away at your extra budget, you would want frame delay disabled, but that is definitely not correct.

If anything, Automatic Frame Delay would probably help letting you tune in CPU speeds without worrying too much about adjusting the Frame Delay as well.
Yes, that makes sense, and is fair enough. Can you see how that stands out as a strange decoration on an otherwise sound argument though, and why someone may point it out?

I also feel the need to acknowledge that I'm slightly entertained to be conversing with "antisthenes" under the handle "seneca".
Pseudocode should be one’s first computing language - if one cannot describe the behavior as intended, one cannot assess as to whether a given implementation works as good or better than those intentions.

> It’s believed that there are a good number of people who would prefer to take something like the Novavax vaccine over the less-established techniques like mRNA and adenoviruses.

I worry that all of the pro-vaccine propaganda and the attacks and dehumanization of people who chose not to get the vaccine (or people who merely questioned it) has resulted in people who won't listen to this at all and won't change their mind.

The shaming of people who didn't want the vaccine just pushed people further from wanting the vaccine (and in many cases any vaccine) instead of trying to embrace them and make them feel comfortable taking it.
