- He may be forgiving but that doesn’t mean you ought to disrespect Him. My family is forgiving but I oughtn’t say nasty things about them.

- Forgiveness is open to all and unlimited, but requires repentance, which involves resolution to work to do better.

- It takes lightly what is in and of itself a holy act of creation, treating casually an integral part of God’s design for us, talking as though it’s something foul to cuss with.

The earliest that I can find using "stolen" is from 2004, it refers to both the 2004 and 2000 elections as stolen:

Is this article unduly alarmist (the URL target is certainly inflammatory)
"Since...the 2020 election" is also not much of a precedent. That's three elections, only one of which would have been for a Senate candidate (in some states), and presumably at most one gubernatorial one except in states that might have had a special election (unless there are states with 2-year terms that I'm not aware of). Given how many more people vote in presidential election years compared to other years, and presumably fewer still do when there's not a statewide election either, it's hard to feel like there's enough info to infer much about whether this trend will hold this year.
Human counters can be biased, and they're definitely more inaccurate. Machines, unless actively exploited by a third party, will always do the same thing, time after time. I don't believe it's worth the extra expenditure to hire tens of thousands of counters (again, human counters adds manual counting into the process, meaning another place for it to go wrong/be manipulated) when machines do the same thing with no fuss.

Is there a replacement for the CarThing so it will continue to work in my car?
It would probably depend on constitutional interpretation as to what a state legislature could do nowadays. South Carolina's legislature picked their electors until 1860 and if they wanted to revert to that an orignialist interpretation of the constitution would support it. One could make an argument that taking the right to vote away after granting it isn't in line with other later amendments or the spirit of the constitution and the justices seem more than capable of picking and choosing to make whatever outcome they want to happen, happen.

All that being said, switching to apportioning electors according to the popular vote winner would make many more people's votes count given that we're realistically waiting on the results of 7 states to decide the upcoming election.

The Electoral College only affects the election of the President, who does not (despite popular misconception) actually run the government the way a CEO runs a country, rather he represents one of three equal and (ostensibly) separate branches of government. The Electoral College doesn't determine the distribution of representatives in Congress, nor the election of judges.

Obviously rural states would not cease to have a voice in government if the President were elected by popular vote - which is in essence what the Electoral College is designed to prevent - because most Presidents have been and yet rural states somehow persist, pass legislation and maintain political power.
- Counting machines should print on each ballot the running count for each race at the point that it counted that ballot. This would allow for manual sampling of N pairs of consecutive ballots to check that the counts never differ by more than one, and never by less than zero.

- Counting machines should be dead simple, and should be one per ballot style. We should go back to precinct-only voting and forget county-wide voting.

- Reconciliation is an absolute must -- as it's always been, but we seem to have stopped doing it in many places.

- Every day of early voting should be treated like election day: with results published for each day. This would reduce the risk of ballot stuffing after hours because one the ballots are counted for the day there are no ballot boxes to stuff.

I have the WH-1000XM2s and they do not have volume or pause buttons. Double tap to pause, slide up and down for volume. I can't comment on them compared to yours, but the touch element works extremely well on them.
> 4han, reddit, and HN because they were humanity's only honest repositories

They are interesting, valuable records of humanity in the early 21st century, but they - and other social media - contain a higher volume of misinformation and disinformation than anything the world has seen, and I'd say a higher proportion than anything since (the Middle Ages? Hard to compare.). Think of the infinite conspiracy theories and just plain bad information on Reddit, for example.

Well, in every team-based PVP game one side has to lose (or a tie in sport games sometimes).

This isn't even a match-fixing because while outcome is predicted, nothing beyond matching "weak" team against "strong" team is done to ensure that outcome.

I mean, it's shitty that blizzard decides that you had enough fun crushing it and now it's someone else's get that dopamine. However, on other hand, it's nice if you're on the otherside sometimes. I will admit that sometimes it matched us against team that was so weak it wasn't even funny.

Try to find a reference. The date component makes it sound like Pennsylvania Democratic Party v. Boockvar, whose decision lead to both the case I mentioned and SCOTUS requiring such ballots to be held separately so they could be removed based on the decision of that case. The major discrepancy is that you’re talking millions and that only affected thousands.
One use of an AI tool potentially would be to try to correlate the angle that a publication would benefit from by pushing a particular viewpoint.

I don't read How to write horrible code and what to do when that's your codebase. I do have to know the latter a bit, but no more than necessary.

Disagree. Mandatory access ramps exists because we have decided it's a problem to be fixed by society, not the individual. The result is far greater access for people with wheelchairs.

I don't think the AP made an error here. Unless I'm misreading those articles, the situation is:

- Republican early voting has increased since 2020.

- Republicans have more in-person early votes, while Democrats have more mail-in early votes.

- Nationally, Democrats still have more overall early votes because early voting is dominated by mail-in votes.

I think it depends on how different it is, as to whether it will be a violation. And just how different is going to be a subjective decision made by a judge on a case by case basis... if anyone ever bothered to take the issue that far to begin with.

If it's found reasonable to assume that a certain 'copy' of the code could be indistinguishable of that made by another person who didn't look at the original code... then it's probably not similar enough to be infringing.

I would even go so far as to say that I think if such a case _was_ ever brought, that unless someone paid enough money to hire subject matter experts to testify, the case may likely be thrown out because the judge is not able to make an informed decision with such lack of evidence.

The (New) Excel Turing Machine
At the risk of sounding snarkier than I actually intend, this is great example of why so much Tesla criticism online should be ignored or at least taken with a huge grain of salt.

I could criticize your coworker for driving a vehicle off into nature and dangerous weather conditions without taking a few moments to learn how to operate its most basic functions. But I don’t need to, because all I really need to point out is that they could’ve just clicked the button on the turn stalk to turn on the wipers. No touchscreen needed.

In all seriousness, though, they need to be a more careful driver. Driving a vehicle without knowing how to drive it is the fault of the driver and puts other people in danger.
This was my first thought as well. This might be an indictment of how obscure/confusing some git invocations are...hence the alias to human readable names.

It is kind of interesting that there is much interest, work and maintenance on these over-complications...There seems to be a related repo - git-extras - that does the same as this repo, and has 17k stars.
Well it's one of the most popular languages in the planet so it cannot have gone that bad.
To be honest, I would expect most small open source projects to just vanish, because of the lack of discoverability. The users won't be able to test them easily, and probably won't be paying for the shipping of a tiny tool that they have not yet tried and don't know whether it's useful or not.

Large open source projects can survive, but I'd imagine it will lean much more towards being developed mainly singular organizations. Without the internet, we don't just lose contributors, but also a lot of testers. The feedback loop will probably shrink, such that the software is mainly based on the need of the organization itself, and the perhaps a selected few collaborators who are very involved.
Sure, I’m not saying trolls don’t try to cover it up. I don’t see any particular issue calling them out for it. That doesn’t mean there aren’t also bad-faith nutcases who can and will cause problems. The internet is a big place and there’s no test of basic sanity to log on, and few jobs or schools would want the reputational risk of defending even someone who was using a word in a factual discussion.

I don’t think there’s any virtue in using it when it upsets people. I also don’t think there’s virtue in refusing to use a word, even in discussions about that word. There’s a line of reasonability: using it to express hate can and should be frowned on. But substituting a euphemism in all contexts is excessive.

The person that comment referenced doesn't seem to be a troll and obviously wasn't writing in a hateful context. Ironically, the fact that he used a euphemism pretty much proves that.
For BRICS it's just business, for NK there is immense value in getting some combat experience without formally entering any war.. NATO countries do this all the time as well, look back at the GWOT and lots of lesser known skirmishes where especially non-conventional forces are cycled through.

I also don't think the US and EU have pure motivations in any of this, particularly the US the EU just seems gullible.. the anti-Russia talk from the politicians is just fodder for the masses so the grift can continue as the actual actions and inactions tell a different story.. send complicated weapons systems ($$$), complicated weapons system doesn't work better start working on some new ones ($$$), oh that's some nice farmland you got there better let our corporations buy it up ($$$).

One of our local grocery stores has a different brand of plastic bag, This one has a small adhesive spot between the layers near the opening of the bags. As you pull the bag off, the adhesive pulls the next bag open a little bit. Each bag is slightly open when you pull it off. It works surprisingly well.

I may try to suggest that the other grocery stores adopt this brand but they are big national chains and I doubt they would be interested.

I think this sentence makes more sense if you are talking about Ukraine and its partners.
And Ukrainian partners don’t even wait for that. Lands are being divided and bought out by BlackRock and the like for pennies on the dollar.
India isn't funding anything in the war, AFAIK. Just because they're BRICS doesn't mean they're doing anything in the war.

And Russia's "partners" are a shit country stuck in 1880 (North Korea) and, well, China. China's great at intimidating third world countries, but in reality their support and capabilities are limited. As for India, well, back in the old days India would have taken Eastern Russia, since the Russian armed forces are busy trying not to get killed.

At least China and India seem to have cooled down their border issues.

> how would we stop them in the slightest when we can't stop the seizure of Ukraine?

We (US) could have and can stop the seizure of Ukraine fairly easily, imho. We have chosen not to do so directly in an effort to prevent WW3 and/or nuclear weapon use.

> No-one has convinced me yet that Putin isn't going to start executing generals (or falling from 3rd story) until one is willing to push the button when he's finally on his deathbed.

You’re not wrong, but his successor, or whoever thinks they may be his successor, will probably prevent that from happening. So many of them have czarist ambitions, and Putin has laid the groundwork.

China is playing both sides here. They want to go for Taiwan - but they aren't forming anything like the WW2 Axis powers.
If Ukraine falls because USA cuts off aid expect every mid power in the world (South Korea / Japan / Australia / Italy etc) to begin their own nuclear weapons program immediately. “Losing its reputation” is an enormous understatement.
It’s pretty amazing that we’re almost at the point where a single laptop computer with no internet connection can contain (1) most of humanity’s recorded knowledge and (2) an intelligence that can explain it to you.
Standardized terminology is an awesome step. I'd love to see some of standardized file format for setting up the right keys on different devices. In the past I'd had annoying issues getting all the messages to decrypt on multiple devices, especially if I wasn't using the same client every device. Honestly though I suspect I was doing something wrong.
>No, they all do it for cost reasons

You think this (incorrectly) because you're being either willfully ignorant or just naive. Apple have more insight on their devices and consumers than you could possibly imagine.

Apple know that practically no one connects their iPhone to a computer through the entire lifetime of the phone (less than 1%). So there is no reason they should include a USB3/4 cable when the only thing people do is charge their phone with it. It's added cost, and waste.

Likewise, the ports on their laptops often go unused. They collect anonymized data on how often people plug something in to any port on their device. They know what people are doing, and what is worth spending money on. There is a reason they got rid of their extra I/O to begin with.
Honestly, I hated Prisma for a while. I've tried to actively rip it out of multiple projects. But, typed queries + views being supported have rally started to change my mind. Prisma is great for basic CRUD operations, and those two features give me a really solid, type safe escape hatch for most of my complaints.

Dropping the rust client will solve another big complaint. I definitely feel the issues languishing problem. I've submitted a few confirmed reproducible bugs that have hung out for a couple years. Still, I'm happier with their recent direction than I would have expected.
Turn stalk controls have been standardized over the past 60+ years. Why change something which works for everyone already?

Maybe telsa should switch the brake pedal and the accelerator next.

Maybe cocacola should switch which way you twist the bottle cap to get it off? Surely it is the user’s fault if they cannot open the bottle.
Yes they totally could. I auto-format all my code and it works mostly without issue even in relatively complicated languages. Why would you turn of images in the source? A comment with a diagram would be useful. Rewriting class variables isn't something you can even turn off. It would just be an option in the right-click menu to refactor code. Everything I suggest is based to some extent on existing features. It is just a more complete implementation of them.
More no-code than programming language but Lotus Notes totally blew my mind.

Lotus Notes blew my mind completely. A truly amazing application at the time.
