My Norwegian ancestors arrived in the US as Nordhus surname, and left immigration with a completely unrelated -son surname. That happened a lot and I understand it's because they didn't speak English and the immigration officers had busy lines to process so they used a default name of sorts on the paperwork.

Why do I need to get congress? Congress isn't some magical body that is somehow more responsive or well run than the executive. They have more special interests. Why would I want a delegate from some state have a say that the government should have less of a reach into my life? That just means id have to essentially bribe this person with some special carve out for his state which is how we got into this whole mess. Lot simpler to just have more or less a national referendum for delete power

I normally drive a 15 year old car, and recently traveled and had to rent a car at my destination. This thing was infuriating and constantly annoying in so many ways. I had to return the first one because I couldn't figure out the touch screen (!!), and the replacement I got just beeped and booped constantly for reasons unknown. I couldn't even figure out how to use the radio. It kept asking me to log in (to what??) just to use the nav system.

> to even have a rheumatologist referral to begin with, some previous combination of [doctors] would have had to have suspected an autoimmune possibility and created some documentation to that effect

This is a good point. Even when a diagnosis is obvious, a doctor may not say it outright and instead make a referral to a specialist because it’s not their specialty to diagnose that condition. This is a good thing because they’re not that specialist so they could be wrong about it, and if they are right, then they should make that referral anyway - and end result is the same i.e. a referral.
Hi derangedHorse, thanks for your insight. The anomaly is that there appears to be a heavy shift in votes only in (1) early voting, and not in (2) mail-in ballots or (3) Election Day voting. Additionally, the anomaly only appears for all tabulators after 300 or more votes are cast.

Here's the image that represents the anomaly in early voting: https://img1.wsimg.com/isteam/ip/9087f51c-d3bd-4002-9943-797...

> There is no respectable statistician who would ever draw a conclusion from data. You could say 'may indicate evidence of unfair elections,' but it is impossible to deem whether something occurred or not with 100% certainty.

The originators of the analysis are claiming that this indicates manipulation. Perhaps they should have given more qualifiers in that image of their analysis, but the data is alarming and it is an up-hill battle even to get their analysis noticed (other than the press release to WCIA, only Newsweek has mentioned it). We can say 'maybe' but given the current political and media environment right now, it is likely that that qualification would have doomed their analysis from getting any coverage at all.

Here is a video from the group that discusses these issues and is worth watching because it speaks directly to your concerns and others: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOQ-GxJyJN4

Edit: I haven't fully absorbed their analysis, so I've gone back and they do make those qualifications to the data ("Data Suggestive of Vote Manipulation", etc) within the PDF: https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/9087f51c-d3bd-4002-9943-797...

"The pattern above shows an inexplicable spike in vote distribution that is statistically unlikely based on typical human voting behavior."

And while discussing alternate causes ("Deep Red" Areas)
"While such a deviation in the data could potentially still emerge, this does not explain why the pattern is limited to Early Voting, as in that scenario it would be reasonable to expect the same deviation to appear in Election Day results. Instead, Election Day results indicate a normal, expected variation."

After being accepted to both for my PhD, I started at Berkeley but then finished at Stanford after my professor moved.

Both were excellent. Stanford is more isolated, meaning it has more community, but it’s also harder to get to the city. Stanford also has more budget. I’d give the slight edge to Stanford. I don’t know the quality of their quantum optics faculty and research, though.

> I think broader acceptance of trans people has increased as long as you view acceptance as "do whatever you want with your body."

Between Trump's repeated executive orders and Facebook for some reason feeling the need to explicitly call out that you can now call trans people mentally ill (but not other groups!) on their platform, we're well beyond riling up people who don't know anything and aren't impacted into nevertheless buying into this moral panic. We've 100% moved backwards on the "acceptability of trans people."

> For performance reasons it lived in the NT kernel, together with the Window manager (which also draws windows using GDI).

Only from NT 4 onwards.

NT 3.1, 3.5 and 3.51 ran GDI in user space.

NT 4 moved it into the kernel.

NT 5 (branded "Windows 2000") and NT 5.1 (branded "Windows XP") kept it there.

It is interesting to consider is as moving back out again; it never was, in my understanding, and even today in "Windows Server Core" it still has the window system built in.

But GDI was not so much moved back out of the kernel again as replaced in NT 6 ("Vista") with the new Aero Compositor.
Hey HN,

We’ve been working on AI Kode Sherpa, an AI-powered tool that helps developers create secure Solidity smart contracts through simple, interactive conversations. Instead of manually writing every line of code, you answer a few questions, and the AI generates optimized, secure smart contract code that you can review and modify.

What makes it different?

Conversational Code Generation: No complex prompts—just a natural Q&A flow that tailors the contract to your needs.
Built-in Security Checks: Identifies vulnerabilities as the code is generated, reducing the risk of costly bugs.
One-Click Audits: Once your contract is ready, you can audit it instantly with a single click.
We built this because writing and auditing Solidity code can be time-consuming and prone to human error. AI Kode Sherpa aims to streamline that process while keeping security at the core.

We’d love your feedback! Whether it’s about the concept, technical approach, or features you'd like to see—we’re here to learn and improve.

Join the waitlist here: https://www.astrakode.tech/kode-sherpa/?utm_source=hn

Ask us anything—we’re happy to dive into the technical details!

Funnily enough, a while back (may be different now) I somehow lost my license between the car and the terminal door and didn't have any backup because it was a last minute trip. Guessing it's not the case today post-RealID but I was still able to get through TSA. The kicker though was that I had to go through all sorts of machinations to check into the Travelodge near the airport and pay in cash. Ever since, I use a generally useless global entry ID as identification at the airport and keep my driver's license well secured.

If your goal is to show that the gene variant causes violence, you probably need to compare violent vs nonviolent prison populations, not prison populations vs general public. We already know that there are aspects of genetics that affect likelihood of being imprisoned, all else being equal.

The general practice is to round up or down to the nearest unit when paying cash. That means if you only have nickels, you either round up or down to the nearest 5 cents. It should average out. Absolutely no one is getting rich off of this.

The entire world is already moving to digital currencies and even if you do everything with cash, rounding up and down to the nearest nickel - per total transaction is not going to make a dent in anyone’s budget - even the poorest people.

If you make 4 cash transactions a day and your total transactions are always rounded up, you’re going to be out of $3.60 a month and that’s the worse case.

>"There is no single metric" translates pretty much into "there is no objective meaning of life that can be proven".

That seems a rather robust baseline, if "objective" means something like "absolute certainty on which we can practically leverage on to reach absolute understanding of everything we might have to deal with". That is, it’s one thing to admit there are some universal truths, it’s an other very different faith step to believe any human can ever be able to construct anything close to the latter.
