Minuscule number of potentially fraudulent ballots in states with universal mail voting undercuts Trump claims about election risks

~ https://archive.md/gLi2e

analysis of data collected by three vote-by-mail states with help from the nonprofit Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) found that officials identified just 372 possible cases of double voting or voting on behalf of deceased people out of about 14.6 million votes cast by mail in the 2016 and 2018 general elections, or 0.0025 percent.

You're mistaking citing secondary sources for being a secondary source. In this context, Wikipedia would be a tertiary source. Yes, I get that this is their mission statement, but I find that when citing secondary sources as truth, you have to be even more careful.

A better way for this article would be "newsletter XY reported on a poll that said ABC", instead of pointing to the poll but linking to the newsletter.
Is that rhetorical? It's the de-facto choice in most liberal democracies for exactly the reason I mentioned.

There are two ways to not sell more tickets than you have seats. One is to jack up the price of seats, the other is to add more seats.

The latter in this context would be to e.g. build higher density housing so more people can feasibly take mass transit, as opposed to congestion pricing which is just a tax on people who can't afford the artificially scarce housing in the areas where mass transit use is feasible already.
Great example of the pitfalls of RMSE.
This is not true for Google at least. I have been locked out of a secondary google account because they thought it was suspicious that I logged in from a new IP address after 6 months of disuse. I have the password, I have the TOTP codes, I have the recovery email (in fact I even have the email for that account, as it forwards to my primary account), but login is just not allowed until I accept a push notification on a destroyed device.

For some reason, my primary account was not subject to the same probablistic lockout, maybe because it had a more constant record of use, or maybe because it was a GApps account.
Oh I'm just astonished reading this article how Apple can spend a huge amount of money and lot of time making a private cloud LLM yet can't be arsed to implement simple things like USB C without literally having the Europe force them to do.
I do. I've always felt that I'm doing something wrong when I do this, but I much prefer not having to switch files all the time and navigate folders etc. looking for things. With everything in one file, I can just use regular within-file search (and M-x occur in emacs which is a bit like clickable (and editable) grep). If I need "focus", I just use narrowing in Emacs (shows only the highlighted part of the buffer, with handy shortcuts for narrowing to current function/class). If I need to see something side-by-side, just split or clone the buffer. I loathe working on those java etc. projects where you have a zillion classes each in their own file, many with maybe a handful of members each; whenever I switch files I feel like I'm losing context.
I agree on the principle, but I want to argue a small point. You say intelligence, when I think an average IQ person who studies policy as a hobby and puts time and effort into being informed will be vastly more capable of proper governance than a 115-120IQ person who doesn’t put the time in. I think the main thing here is education and information distribution and how (in our case, poorly) we set up the infrastructure and social mechanisms to perform these.

So, maybe even HTML is not that relevant in many cases.

Doesn't make it less true.

>I'm also tired of people saying the American dream is about becoming a billionaire. It's not. It never has been. It's always been about having the opportunity to improve your wealth and living standards.

True, but that's what is argued that has regressed (and the numbers back this up).

>On a related note, I'm tired of hearing people say they can't afford to buy a home. Buying a house is a very expensive and slow way to build wealth.

Which is irrelevant. People want to buy a home to have a shelter and not be subject to raising rent, evictions, and insecurity. Not necessarily to "build wealth". And, in past decades, they used to be able to buy a house, without huge mortgage costs, and pay it off quite early too.

Data not present.. 200

Mutated invalid data... 200

The idea that once a schema is done nothing else needs to be done on the BE.. As a BE dev you're constantly trying to optimise, and handle mutations. It adds a whole new level of complexity. REST is just so much simpler. Every endpoint can be cleaned up and optimised. Endpoints that are slow can be streamlined. Endpoints that return too much can be curtailed. Data can be preload and cached on the server, with zero config beyond Redis.

I'd argue that the quality of a fry/chip does depend on the type of potatoes used. My experience is frozen fries are mediocre at best.

Even on a commercial scale, its a peeling machine and a cutting/chipping machine, no worse than a mixing machine for making dough or similar industrial kitchen machines.

> Compulsory voting removes an important signal where participation indicates the legitimacy.

Total utter rubbish.

Australia has compulsory voting .. meaning 98% of people turn up or mail in a "vote" and have a barbeque on the day.

The "signal" you falsely claim to be missing is right there in the donkey votes and duds - anybody that objects to the candidates presented is free to draw a dick and balls on the ballot or pencil in a candidate of their choice .. and that signal is anonymous, counted and logged.
This is already happening all over the place. Most notably in chat bots everywhere. But I see gpt/claude in every company I visit these days and replacing employees. Not given a title yet, so maybe that will happen?
What is often missed in Y2K mitigation is just how much software was discarded in favour of something more modern.

I had a happy customer that was using software that I built in the early 90s. I was asked to 'Y2K certify' it, which I couldn't do for free, so they had to ditch it before Y2K. Even though I would have used proper datetimes, there may have been a couple of places where there were problems, such as printed reports or displaying dates on the screen. I certainly couldn't underwrite that it would work without reviewing it extensively.

Apart from cobol/mainframe projects to fix bugs, a significant part of Y2K preparation was throwing out whatever cobbled-together software businesses had, and replacing it with SAP. Indeed, a large part of the SAP sales-pitch in the mid-nineties was 'Y2K ready'. The number of SAP licences sold in the mid-late nineties is useful data for Y2K mitigation that was often overlooked.

It was highly likely that various applications within any particular business had Y2K problems, as with my little application. If they didn't, you get the original vendor to certify them as being 'Y2K ready'. For many people involved, it was quicker, cheaper, easier, and less risky to replace with SAP, rather than review and fix everything.

I am convinced that ERP (SAP, Oracle) and CRM (remember Siebel?) were given major boosts in adoption due to Y2K alone.
By structure I meant the dirt mound with a concrete wall inside it, not the localizer. Entirely normal to have a localizer, but usually on a frangible structure if it needs to be elevated.

Well, winning with checkmate in just a few moves is also possible (d4 d5 - c4 dxc4 - e4 d8xd4 and after d1xd4, d4c4, c4xc7 and c7xc8 won by checkmate).

I guess playing 'good' chess is not the point, the point is that you can play at all using regexp. (The 'move a2a3 and lose as not considered legal' is more serious then it not actually playing well).
Yes I agree, in the US specifically it would proabably be the lesser evil to have compulsory voting. And especially if it was coupled with some sweeping reforms to convince everyone of the integrity of the election (The problem not being the integrity, but that people lack faith in the integrity which is an equally important problem!). For example, ensure absolutely everyone has easy and free access to ID. Then ensure everyone votes with that ID.
Democracy is not perfect, but it's better than the alternative.
Take the same idea and apply it to gambling. Does it hold up well?

In any case it's a moot point, to an argument nobody made.

Trying or not trying, and understanding that the (documented) cases of social mobility are worsening are orthogonal.

In fact, with that understanding, a society can do something to improve that, which will also make it easier for people trying.
> Even if we’re being super conservative, the current capabilities of AI - like Claude 3.5, GPT-o1 - are already powerful enough to disrupt nearly every industry we know.

Skeptic here. The disruption might not be that large if the most ambitious applications also turn out to be fundamentally un-secure-able against malicious attacks, since "prompt injection" is not so much an exception as the fundamental operating principle of the text-fragment dream-machine.

But that is a big ask and I might not like it when I see it.

Either way, encouraging stupid people to participate is not the way. At best it is a harmless no-change manoeuvre.
It really should. I'm a PhD student (which does not overly qualify me anyway) but the more I look into works with quantitative measuring methods, the more I have a hard time trusting polls and statistics in general. Even in academic papers, or at least the ones I reviewed, more often than not the data is massaged in some way and leaves a lot to be desired.

It's best to immediately get suspicious if a polling company is owned by some parent firm with a clear conflict of interest.
Yup, I think the "has the {thing} already started" is, for many people, the most useful function of precise time anyway. All sorts of work and personal meetings, transportation schedules, doctor's appointments, and so on.

Knowing the ballpark in the form of "it's 15:30-ish", even if more precise, is strictly less useful than "you're late to the 15:30 meeting with your manager".

Fun article nonetheless, and interesting perspectives on both sides!
All these issues have better solutions than congestion pricing.

Cars blocking intersections and/or sidewalks can easily be solved with automated traffic fines - that's how Zurich and London does it (the former without any congestion pricing!)

Many cities also have special lanes only useable by some classes of vehicles - e.g. busses (or sometimes taxis as well) - I guess ambulances could also use those.

In fact, congestion pricing doesn't solve any of those problems, it's just an irrelevant (as in, it doesn't solve any specific problem directly) regressive tax to "drive less".

I agree 9/11 bred a lot of security theater, but I also don't buy the "one single thing" stopping terrorists from hijacking a plane is fear of a battle with passengers.

Pre 9/11 an attempted hijacking would "just" be a harrowing tale (because of your own reasoning). Post 9/11 even an unsuccessful attempt would create an overwhelming wave of fear, panic, and paranoia for the very same reason you argue people would be willing to fight to the death.

We just had two terrorist attacks this week and it's already falling off the news cycle: I don't think that'd be the case if the public had been given flashbacks to 9/11.

> anybody that objects to the candidates presented

You are missing the point. It's not about objecting to candidates. It's two separate signals sent by on the one hand abstaining, and on the other hand filling out a blank votes.

Blank vote means "I think this is a legitimate election, I just don't like any of the candidates".

The distinction between these two signals is important enough that most democracies around the world preserve it by not having compulsory voting.
Superficial vs. Insightful
Synthesizing research findings into actionable insights is profoundly shaped by the researcher’s domain knowledge and perspective, determining if the reports are merely superficial or truly insightful.
Tip: Deepen your domain knowledge and develop strategic thinking skills to enhance the quality of your insights.

Researcher vs. AI Tool
Researchers will be easily replaced by AI if they cannot analyze the reasons behind the data and provide valuable recommendations.
Tip: Leverage AI for fundamental research tasks, focus on strategic thinking and actionable insights that impact decision-making within your organization.

Data-Driven vs. Personal Interest
People often accept research findings only when they match their beliefs, resulting in decisions swayed by stakeholders' interests rather than actual data.
Tip: Align your research with business goals and use storytelling to connect findings and insights to these goals with concrete evidence.

Cost vs. Value
Research can be expensive, and its value is often indirect and unrecognized, resulting in a low priority for organizations.
Tip: Set measurable metrics for your research and demonstrate its impact, such as # unmet needs identified, # recommendations implemented, and # new features or product changes based on research, NPS, revenue increase, etc.

Taxies in general. I know medallions already limit their numbers but if you've ever been locked in traffic surrounded by yellow cabs, count the passengers. Each one —mostly empty IME— is 120sqft of road. Cars trolling around for patrons is a bad system.
