The difference is that if they were winning they wouldn't do this. This is textbook vote buying. They are absolutely terrified of the election season after the market collapse, inflation, housing situation, war in ukraine, etc. Easy to lock in quite a few votes throwing a bone. Republicans did the same thing last election season and capitulated (temporarily) on a lot of their positions in order to pull in the independents.

I wish you were correct. But there's a difference between doing something because you know it's right (implore congress to pass legislation on marijuana immediately) and because you need the votes. Only one of them is virtuous even though both ostensibly benefit the people.

> Ranking the voting systems: STAR Voting > Approval Voting > Ranked Choice Voting > Plurality (“pick only one”) voting.

I’m going to disagree. For essentially single-winner, public, candidate, secret ballot elections:

Any Condorcet method* > Bucklin Voting* (without limited # of ranks) > Instant Runoff Voting* > Majority-Runoff** > Plurality Voting** > Approval***, Score***, or STAR*** Voting (or any other *** system)

For public, secret ballot, legislative elections:

Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) using PR-STV* + Party List for leveling) > MMP using any single-member district system + Party List for leveling > Single Transferrable Vote (PR-STV)* > Party List PR (optionally, using STV to minimize wasted votes, but vote-for-one is close behind) > single-member districts with single winner systems in the order above (but, compared to the preceding proportional systems, all are close enough as to make no real difference) > any system using some or all multimember constituencies (including staggered elections in the same district for multiple seats in the same body) not described earlier in this list.

For public, secret ballot, chief executive + designated successor elections:

The single winner methods, in the order above, modified to use ranked ballots if they don’t already, in two rounds where the first elects the chief executive, then that winner is eliminated from all ballots, then a second counting of the ballots is done to chose the designated successor > The single winner methods, in the order above, separately for each office > The single winner methods, i the order above, for slates of pairs of one candidate for each office > Plurality voting** in a two round system (with normal, vote-for-one ballots), where after a chief is chosen on the first round, the successor is chosen by eliminating all ballots for the prior winner and taking the highest remaining vote count.

(methods with * are ranked ballots methods, methods with ** are vote-for-one methods commonly in use in the US, methods with *** are either artificially limited-ranks or more-detail-than-ranks methods, which for candidate elections have no clear, unique honest mapping from actual preferences to ballot markings; they are very good when their particular system of ballot markings maps to something concrete – e.g., for approval for selecting group activities in non-secret-ballot elections where approving is a commitment to participate if that option is selected or disapproval forfeits the right to participate, or, for score voting, where chosen score maps to a commitment of resources in the event the scored item is chosen.)

Have clock speeds really plateaued? Sure it’s not “double every 18 months”, but in mid 2018 I bought an Intel 8700K that turbo’d to 4.7GHz and could (with liquid metal, dark magic and luck) overclock to exactly 5GHz. I remember people saying progress was slowing down, that we might not make it to 6GHz.

4.5 years later and Intel is bragging that their upcoming topline CPU will run 6GHz stock. I suppose one could call this a plateau compared to the good old days of the 80s and 90s, but it’s definitely still progress.

The day I bought my Samsung S22 ultra is the day I stopped lugging around my full frame Nikon. And I took it everywhere, all hikes and skitours, many climbs, got with it to 6000m altitude on Aconcagua too. Last time I took it to vacation to Egypt and literally didn't take it out of pouch for 2 weeks. Good pictures as it does, the pain of carrying 2.5kg camera around all the time, looking weird in small public spaces and all the freakin time wasted post-processing ain't worth it for me.

I have phone camera with 16x zoom range altogether, small kids and I strongly prefer making (sometimes) sub-ideal pics of almost all situations rather than a bit better pics of few of those. Often it does properly great photos. And much much much better videos. While weighting 200g and fitting (so-so) in my pocket.

I literally couldn't care less about mirrorless cameras, for me cameras are over.
The G-Shock square is important because its history and can be had for peanuts, making it a must for a collection. But I argue its not the Casio you want to wear now. It's bulky compared to the display, the buttons are small, the interface antique, the straps are not the most comfortable.

For a beater sports watch I wear a Pro-Trek PRW-60Y https://www.casio.com/sg/watches/protrek/product.PRW-60Y-1A/
Tough solar movement, more comfortable, better dial to body ratio, large buttons, better interface, has barometer, altimeter, compass, thermometer, looks better and mature.

For a casual watch check out the Casio Oceanus line.

Also check out the premium G-Shock models mentioned in the article: MTG and MRG. The MTG in natural metal color is a very mature G-Shock you can wear with almost anything that is not a formal suit. And has a fit and finish that is unbeatable for the price.
That's rather personal but it is non zero.

All of the CDs in my old collection are fine, but I’ve had major problems with my DVD collection. I haven’t spent any time trying to figure it out, but it looks like some kind of unusual mold that I’ve never seen or some kind of deterioration of the substrate occurred inside some of the discs and they became completely unplayable. Attempts at cleaning completely failed to solve the problem. Is there really a major difference between DVD and CD manufacturing on a commercial level?

Paper is a good one but the media is low-density and fragile. Although pre-industrial forms of paper (e.g. cotton paper, or papyrus) might have more long-term resistance than modern wood paper.

Fired clay tablets are much more resistant, but lower density (because clay), unless you use a dedicated press maybe (most of the ancient Near East clay tablets were actually fired fortuitously e.g. by a building burning down, that was only rarely intended and most tablets were used as erase-boards). But obviously non-tablet pottery can go through millennia in rather good conditions.

Carved wood is also a good idea, but it still needs good conditions and maintenance. Still, in the right storage it can last for centuries (see the Tripitaka Koreana for instance).

Leather, parchment, and vellum too, but I think then your main concern will be the degradation of the pigments.

If your focus is on longevity above all else, then you can’t beat stone. Though that can still be destroyed. I guess above stone would be highly non-reactive metals, however you’d need a metal which is not very precious as well (e.g. not gold, or silver, or platinum). I’m not very versed into metals and metallurgy, but I’d look towards titanium (it’s extremely reactive but not at normal temperatures), or bronze.

At one point there were disks made out of glass (versus the conventional polycarbonate), in theory that gives them infinite lifetime short of being physically destroyed. Though it does assume a compatible drive device.

As a POC, some have. Here's Peter McKinnon [1], and Tomorrow's filmmakers [2]. The wedding is also a very controlled lighting scenario, allowing the dedicated camera to maximize its advantage. Shutter-speed matters too, which Phones have closed in on but not yet eliminated. (In my post, I called out brightly lit conditions.)

Large camera bodies are also about looking "professional". Like most people don't wanna go to banks where staff is dressed in t-shirts and shorts.

This article is a good example (to me) of presenting a "maths result" as an incorrect fact.

The "5,472,730,538" is the number of different (under symmetry) completed grids -- so are we saying we could make a (hypothetical) book with 5,472,730,538 completed grids and say "Here is all your Sudoku"? Or, that we are only allowed to create exactly one Sudoku from each finished grid? Neither of those seem like reasonable claims.

A more reasonable question would be, how many partially completed sudoku grids are there which have a unique solution. We don't know the answer to that.

Even if we did do that, I've done some research on measuring difficulty of Sudoku -- many Sudoku grids are unsolvable by humans -- they are far too hard.

A different, and interesting, question would be how many Sudoku are there which can be considered human-solvable. That's an even more open problem (we'd have to exactly define human-solvable to start).

I know that the idea of the 10x engineer is somewhat eyebrow raising, yet in most fields I ever have been in there where those people who would get shit done n times as fast/efficient or throughly as others, all while yielding better results — be it Camera or Light people on the film set, programmers, designers and architects, writers.

The differenciator rarely was the pure skill at the profession, but an ability to mentally plan ahead and maybe even see the final "thing" in their head. So instead of going try and error or just using what worked last time those people tended to be able to see the clear outlines of the whole thing in their head before they do it, which has the benefit of not having to do things you know will not satisfy. Couple that with a willingness to not waste your time and then you get someone who looks magically efficient to people who "just do their job".

In my eyes those people are not inhumanly good, it is just that most other people are quite average both in their skill and in their motivations.

And even if you are average and just do your job you can easily compare against those people by investing persistence and time.

> every wedding photographer

I wouldn't be surprised to find that some measurable percentage of "official person tasked with photographing a wedding" are just using phones. These are not professional wedding photographers, but they are acting as a wedding photographer while using a phone camera. (And they are friends or family doing the task for free.)

Surely many weddings are not high expenditure events. An average person with a modern phone who takes a LOT of photos at each moment or scene will produce some good images. They may not be of the quality where you could print large poster size, but most people probably don't print larger than 11x14.

There's no doubt that a skilled photographer with good gear that is suited for the environment can do better. Phones are not a replacement for this if final result is the only criteria. But not only are not all "professional" photographers great, but a lucky amateur with a good phone cam and lots of snaps may end up with output that a layperson, including the subjects of the wedding, might not be able to see the difference of.
Not if they were given the same power i.e. moderation tools that Twitter et al have behind the scenes.

Right now I have to use ridiculously blunt instruments and trust in moderation that is well known to be biased and, frankly, useless.
The only way I could see this working is if the app was more passive where the could save stuff in the app and discuss it.

For example say you found a really cool recipe on the web that you want to save and share, you would then share that link with the app and add relevant tags for category and time and place.

Later you also found a cool hangout spot that you'll want to go, share link to app, add tags and done.

Use Case:

Now you meet your partner and you have an hour together but don't know what to do ?

You can now open the app, sort for 1hr time and it shows all the things you both have wanted to do say cook a particular recipe or go to that place.

This could very well be achieved by any planning app or something similar but having a dedicated app would work who knows!
This is exatly the problem with pseudoanonimity. The moment you start tracking actions with unique identifiers, even if those identifers are not connected to real names initially, you're opening a big box of privacy no-nos.

You just need one instance where you can connect a pseudonymous identifier to a real person, and boom, you have the whole history and future right there.
Tell HN: Zoho Blocked Outgoing Emails with No Support Response
I am using Zoho Mail for more than a year- happily, until today.

Today I woke up and found that I can no longer send emails from my main work email. Outgoing emails have been blocked with no explanations.

I have reached out to them through email and forum post, but there has been no response from them in half workday.

I am going through hell and a lot of pain- as lot of the emails I am sending are dropping in their spamboxes, and I have to call them to let them know.

Something as critical as email should not be blocked without any warnings.

They say that they block outgoings due to spamming, and I have spammed ZERO people ZERO times. This email is strictly direct communicational.

There has been recent posts putting Zoho on a positive light, I just want everyone on HN to know the pain I am going through, and that Zoho is not reliable at all. Email is critical, and outgoings should not be blocked on whims or stupid algorithms.

I see, thanks for the context, it seems like a PITA.

But given that each database system has its own flavor of SQL, vanilla TPC benchmarks may not work out of the box so one needs to tweak them a bit and this might be what actually disqualifies the published results from all of the clauses from above being applicable.

I can also anticipate that combination of clause (2) and (3) is what some that publish the results are also taking advantage of.
