The difference between in-person vote and mail vote is chain of custody. Basically, when voting by mail you can never prove that your vote has not been tampered with in transit. With in-person vote there usually are procedures in place to ensure that no one messes with the ballot box.
I didn't say it didn't exist. Considering how many Chinese and Chinese Americans work in the tech industry how many famous entrepreneurs, venture capitalist or programmers of such descent do you know of that the average hackers news reader or even the average person will know of? I bet that for most people it's few.

The argument was that investigating "tech bro" culture is frivolous because the tech industry is made up of immigrants and that is simply not true. It's still very much a prevailing culture. Heck, this entire discussions stems from "what is Elon Musk going to do (next)?" after replacing the CEO of Indian descent.

I wouldn't say the same thing about hardware. But that also isn't nearly as influential and also not a hot topic either.

I was pretty surprised to find C++Now's FAQ entry on interruptions:

Why don’t they just let the speaker speak?

A common question/complaint concerns how often C++Now speakers are interrupted by questions (and sometime by comments that aren’t even questions) from the audience. Sometimes viewers are thinking, “I’m not watching this to hear you, I’m listening for the speaker.” This results from a misunderstanding about the nature of our conference. C++Now is very much a collaborative conference.

At most conferences, the assumption (usually correct) is that the most knowledgable person on the subject at hand is at the front of the room. But at C++Now, a speaker may be discussing features that were added to C++ based on proposals authored by members of the audience. The collective understanding of the speaker and the audience is what makes a C++Now session such a valuable experience.

Questions and comments by the audience are not distractions, they are the reason that C++Now exists and why it is a different experience than other C++ conferences.

It feels very "um actually we know more than you". I think it probably works fairly well in person but it absolutely doesn't translate to recordings. It seems other folks agree (I found it via reddit)[2].

To be fair, some of his early comments indicated that all legal speech was to be allowed.

That was obviously wrong, as lots of legal speech makes the platform worse (eg, spam or spam-like behavior), but it was one of the claims made.

> the federal reserve does not belong to the USA

Come now, that's legal fiction designed to maintain the independence of the Fed. Congress created the Federal Reserve System and could remove it or twist it to whatever shape it sees fit tomorrow if it wants.

There's a good argument to be made that the Fed ran easy-money policies for too long in 2021 in order to secure Chair Powell's reappointment in early 2022; this gives you a clue as to who they are in fact beholden to, despite their nominal independence.
Thanks for your comment, and apologies on the delay here.

> what specifically, or HOW specifically is your therapy different than the therapists I have already spent $$$$ on?

First I want to re-clarify that we are not providing therapy. We providing coaching services for ADHD-related symptoms and skills (like executive function). However, coaching (along with therapy) definitely does not cure ADHD, as ADHD is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition.

Answering your question directly, our approach is rooted in Health & Wellness coaching, and incorporates large amounts of positive psychology and behavioral change science. The way Shimmer works is that you pair up with an ADHD coach and each week you declare 1 focus area (2 or 3 if you're feeling ambitious) that you're going to work on. It could be implementing a habit or system, or practicing a skill. Throughout the week, your coach helps you fight fires if something comes up.

Specifically re: Therapy, it's different in that it's focused on the daily actions and routines/habits you will try out and implement. It will require significant effort or at least commitment on the member's part as well, as our coaches cannot make the changes for them.

Really appreciate your question, and thank you for your patience as we work through these comments.
UHT is a bit cheaper and of course, shelf stable. I understand the reason why it is so popular.

Personally, I use both. I usually buy a bottle or two of fresh milk when I go shopping, and I keep a pack of UHT in case I don't have enough fresh milk. This way, I will not run out of milk, and I will not let my fresh milk spoil because I bought too much.

And yes, fresh milk (whole and half-skimmed) can be found in almost any supermarket. AFAIK skimmed milk is almost exclusively UHT, and raw milk is very hard to find but not illegal.

- subscribe button doesn't allow interval settings

- no feed categories

- no feed ordering

Alarm on What Happens If Musk Launches Paid Verification Before the Election
CEOs have a ton of leverage and use it to use to their personal benefit. But they really are important- stock prices will change the value of a company by hundreds of millions of dollars based on a good or bad CEO joining or leaving, and it's not like the investors are all in on the scam.

There are mechanisms in the existing system to fight high CEO pay, EG activist investors will get involved with companies and occasionally force CEOs out or cut their pay.
What I said last time is still true of this version: it's neither Free Software nor Open Source, and it doesn't even work for its stated purpose, since Microsoft is already willing to let Copilot violate licenses, e.g., by not providing attribution, which they virtually all require.

You do know Twitter hasn't existed for that long, right. It was founded in 2006.

The @POTUS account wasn't created until 2015.

Twitter in the political space is still relatively new. You're getting flagged for naked partisanship.
If Twitter’s business model had been advertisement, Twitter would not have banned people with money to spend.
I believe the Taliban has an account and has not been banned, which seems tough to justify from any human rights perspective. Probably best to just not operate in these markets at all.
Without knowing what you actually do, that sounds like the Amish way of coding — defining an arbitrary point in time where you deem technology to have been „good“.

It’s not one bridge it’s thousands of bridges, it’s just not know how critical each bridge is. Or how critical it becomes when another one is down.

Look at all the other major engineering failures in history, it’s always small things (a gasket) on a bad day (too cold?) that somehow works day after day until one day it magically doesn’t and you get the Apollo incident. Everything goes catastrophic over tiny things. Imagine if NASA fired half their team before that incident. The only guy who knew the gasket can’t get cold might not still be there because Ned got laid off.
That's partly the point though, isn't it? You're not accountable for your performance, you're accountable for the performance of the company. And the performance of the company could be extremely good or extremely bad, very much independently of your contributions.
Well, you could downvote - but, given as the first paragraph seems to be biological fact, perhaps you could instead mount a reasoned defence of gendered personal and social roles, and why they should have primacy over sex as defining components of the identities of “man” and “woman”.

As someone born in the 60s, a time when gendered roles began to be considered limiting and harmful, I would genuinely love to see a defence - at least one beyond “It makes people with gender dysphoria happy” (which is a good thing, but not obviously the right thing given the opportunity for discrimination between genders and expected conformity to normative gender stereotypes).
the problem is voters are uneducated, or rather the distribution of education will always be uneven so there will always be undesirable selection effects that every elected politician must definitionally survive
This is missing something critical: It shows tags, but does not allow to use them like tags. Instead it only allows to use them as categories. One should be able to narrow down results by clicking multiple tags.
A fun example along those lines is the Green Bay Packers[1]. They are a public non-profit whose shares are largely owned by members of the Green Bay community. Shareholding is mostly a matter of community pride, as it confers very few rights[2].

Twitter actively, intentionally, hamstrung third party clients. First in 2010 with the stupid “Twitter inflection point" and subsequent multiyear decay in the API, followed by enforcing a hard limit of 100k on application tokens (ie, your app could have up to 100k Twitter accounts authenticated to it, no more). Ostensibly done to drive more traffic to the official timeline for ad insertions.

Meta actively discourages third party clients for Facebook and Instagram, IIRC an iOS Instragram client was just spiked in the app store after a complaint from Meta.
I had the same experience. Id say they just don't approve most of the reviews.
I would think most (real) people only leave a good review when things go EXTREMELY WELL. Not the same for bad reviews though, which means real people will more often than not leave reviews pointing problems and shortcomings than praising a product. That, at least in my head, would result in less sales and so making the review workflow painful for the user is by design.

It is ironic that the very link [1] you provided proves you wrong. The top 5 countries of origin doing IP scanning in the last seven days are China (120k), India (67k), US (52), Iran (44k), and Russia (27k).

It would be good to have sane conversations in this country about what we can learn from the past few years (in which I think both this administration and the previous one could be accused of serious blunders and politicking) but pointing fingers is not a helpful contribution.

And the Windows XP issue where if you installed a fresh copy, unpatched copy connected to the net. You'd receive spam popup messages.

I think there’s a massive difference between correcting something that is untrue, and just deciding you want to have your own say because the truth isn’t representative of what you feel is the broader issue.

Sure, we can say it’s due to an old law passed by republicans. But then the dems can argue that the modern GOP no longer support that… so really this just turns into a mess. Was the fact true? Yes. Was it representative of the broader argument? Depends who to you ask.

I think there are prices of fact check you could’ve put in there - for example nominal vs real terms, but this wasn’t that.
I wonder if the supposed free speech absolutists will excoriate Twitter for this, as they have in similar situations in the past?

(How you could believe Twitter adding their own message to something is against free speech I have no idea, but it was often argued before. I suspected at the time many people were claiming to be for free speech, but were actually only interested in defending speech they agreed with. Now we get a chance to see if that's true.)
I think the point will be that law enforcement doesn't enforce them (or a great many other laws, such as substandard housing conditions which don't get fixed by landlords)
So they have to wait till the stuff is out of copyright to distribute it?

Right, that's what I said.
I have worked in companies that it was true. And others where it was not. Even in one company we moved from not true to true, in about 8 years (there was of course not a hard cut).

The companies where it was not true, was a pleasure to work in. The management, from C-suits downwards knew what they were doing. In the others, it was a total chaos.

Of course, if everything is fixed with duct tape, you need firemen ready to act. If everything is solid and robust, there can be small outages, but nothing too critical.
A large company is like an oil tanker. Its never clear whether that oil tanker can be turned fast enough to avoid the ice berg. And thus, its never clear whether its the CEOs fault, or the circumstances. Too much complexity.

You might think that paying a 45% marginal rate tax instead of 94% would mean you could be paid less while keeping more! How did lowering personal income tax increase compensation?
Fakespot does its best, but Amazon and similar don't expose very much information to determine if a review is fake (be it manual review OR via a service like Fakespot).

Plus there are two kinds of "fake reviews": Automated reviews ("spam"), and then reviewers who got free samples/paid. The second is almost impossible to detect as real people are really writing the reviews (and even calling them "fake" is hard because the person may still give an honest review sometimes).

You can sometimes spot fake reviews, but that is just due to laziness, if they're trying even a little bit it could be very hard to spot in particularly at volume. I will say one good trick is to read "new" reviews rather than most helpful/liked, since they game those too.
>It's like someone's constantly watching the metrics, and every positive blip becomes a candidate for being a talking point.

I would add "or negative", and I wouldn't qualify it with "it's like". As far as I can tell, this is the one-sentence description of how the public face of politics works, everywhere, always.

That was a more general comment about niche tech like this, but the costs I included were for grid scale battery storage.

So this is more cost effective than batteries at the current price but also less flexible and requires more engineering up front, and the price of batteries keeps dropping. It makes sense today but is going to feel the squeeze in the long run.

Online reviews and rating systems do need an overhaul. I once tried to leave a review of a poor experience I had while staying at a short-term rental property, sticking to the facts with no melodrama; and the platform rejected my review as being "against policy". There's clearly no incentive at all for the platform to accept anyone's poor review, since that would mean less business for the platform.

Not to mention all the e-commerce reviews that are along the lines of, "1-star: item was perfect and was everything I wanted it to be but it arrived three days late" or "5-stars: item sucks so bad that I returned it but the platform's return policy is great".

Don't lose the "Biden administration" context.

The majority of Covid debt originated prior to January 20th 2021, and with a GOP majority in the Senate. Of the $1400 stimulus sent to individuals, the previous President, the previous Senate Majority Leader, and the 2 incumbent Senate candidates (that didn't win) each campaigned on the equivalent of the $1400. The previous administration is also on record as rejecting audit measures for the Payment Protection Program. The previous administration nominated the fed chairman that increased the federal reserve balance sheet and tools well beyond 2008-2009, while also not adjusting the pace despite the federal stimulus above (and other stimulus until Fall 2021)

My question then is, would/will the same fact-checking apply to a different government that Musk does support? He’s been pushing for this equal fact checking and equal platform for both parties, but as far as I can tell we’re not seeing these banners anywhere on politics Twitter besides official government accounts.

We’re all learning what civilized mean. If anything.

We’re established that all life are equals and each humans deserves rights.

Not out of kindness but because it yields more cohesive and resilient societies.

All places are civilized in one way or another, more in some aspects depending on the locality .

In my books, Démocratie in Switzerland is more advance that anywhere else in Western Europe for instance.

But more robust social nets would help shield workers and their families from hick up in supply chain or markets. Preventing unwanted ripple effects.

If that make it socialist, so be it. That word has lost most of its meaning from me. Let’s talk policies and not political classification.
