1) It is called a printer. The voter prints his own ballot out.

2) Voter validates ballot visually on printer. If voter is unhappy with print out matching his ballot, he makes notes.

3) Voter mails print ballot in, regardless.

Voting by mail is cheaper than voting in randomly selected first world location:
http://californiawatch.org/dailyreport/cheaper-popular-mail-...

So worst case scenario is you are paying for the internet system + the paper mail system. That is still probably cheaper than just a paper system.

This system already exists and works without the issues you raise.

So what if it is compromised? If the printout doesn't match, a voter can manually correct it.

I'm uncertain why you would argue simultaneously:

1) Existing paper systems are good enough.

2) Existing paper systems used to verify internet ballots in the event of a dispute would not be good enough.

When I was 15 I started having major mood shifts and quickly realized that I have a personality disorder (I'm manic and suffer from bouts of mania, thankfully hypomania). I've contemplated suicide before, while I never got into divying up percentages here are somethings I realized:

- It's ultimately illogical and selfish. I got into computers because I loved solving problems and I had a problem. The problem was that I couldn't solve my problem...at least not on my own, and not yet on my own.

- I've had no less than three panic episodes and emotional breakdowns where I would weep uncontrollably for hours. This is typically the culmination of an intense sadness, loneliness, and apathy.

I'm 34 years old and am still battling manic-depressiveness. Still waking up feeling like I got punched in the face, there are days I write shoddy code, and there are days where I do get feelings of suicide. But the reason why I never acted upon it is because there's always the light at the end of the tunnel...the issue isn't if there is a light, the question is when will the light come about. And yes, it does show...for me, it took a while but it came and it came beautifully.

For starters, I targeted behavior that I knew was self-destructive. I began practicing religion again (or whatever you're into), I began practicing martial arts - going to the gym was, like you said, a distraction. Martial arts is a community workout, everyone participates and you can't help but build friends. Since I'm a practicing Christian, I found a church and began meeting people there. In short, I looked at self-destructive tendencies and reversed it. Because of my introversion, I simply created borders and notified people that, sometimes, I like to be alone. However, I made sure to be around non-technology people (which gets me out of thinking about work) and I like to find people who are eccentric and outgoing (extroverts, especially).

Even small changes that I've implemented in my life have made huge impacts. I forced myself to be less shy, I would gladly pay for a friend's dinner if it meant not eating alone, and I got better at planning outings because I know that it's easy to slip into apathy and depression. So I surround myself with people, build trust, and create lasting friendships.

You honestly can't quit your job just now. First you need to build a support system before you do that. Believe me, there's hope, there's always hope.

Introducing the Web Audio Editor in Firefox Developer Tools
Yes, now we are in agreement. For the users of google it matters, but those are not the people that are currently screaming blue murder, it is the webmasters who had a ton of traffic from google before and that lost it (fairly or unfairly is a case-by-case thing).

If users no longer find relevant content then that is a real problem but I think that in this particular respect your goals and google's goals are very much in alignment. In other words, if they could do better they would.

it's a fairly ridiculous idea that slander and libel are "illegal". Yet when you explore it more deeply, you find some of the laws actually make sense.

Yes, the flaw in the above scenario is that for capital gains that have a cost basis that began prior to becoming resident in Puerto Rico ("built in gains"), you will owe taxes at both the US federal and Puerto Rican levels.

3 scenarios:

If the business was started and sold prior to becoming a Puerto Rican resident, then taxes would be owed at US federal and state levels like normal.

If the business was started while resident on US mainland and then you moved and became resident in Puerto Rico (the OP's scenario), it gets a lot more complicated. Just considering capital gains from a sale of the business to keep it easier, you will owe taxes to both the US and Puerto Rico. These are called "built in" capital gains. You can look up details on this, but taxes are owed to the US and to Puerto Rico at rates that change over time depending on how many years you are resident in Puerto Rico before selling the business. This is the most complicated scenario.

If you start a qualifying Puerto Rican business after becoming resident in Puerto Rico and after having been accepted into Act 22, then you would start with a zero cost basis. This is the best case scenario. When you sell this business, you could owe 0% capital gains. However, during the lifetime of this business, you will still pay FICA taxes (15.3%) on earned income to the US Federal government up to the regular cut off levels, personal Puerto Rican earned income taxes on a portion of your income, and 4% corporate tax on business income. This is the easiest scenario since it starts with a zero cost basis.

Btw, IANAL.

TLDR 1.) Started & sold business in Cali, no capital gains tax benefit. 2.) Started business in Cali and sold after becoming resident in PR, crazy complicated, but taxes do apply at both federal and puerto rican level. 3.) Built and sold business in PR after acceptance into Act 22, and after becoming resident in PR, 0% capital gains tax, but other taxes apply during the lifetime of the business.

For those interested, residency is 183 days per year.
Is it possible that if someone has a different point of view about some issue after having given the matter some thought that they are not trolling?

If that's a possibility then you already have your answer, I would not put this much time and effort into a discussion if I were merely doing this to piss other people off.

Trolls typically don't go around with their name and reputation in full view on controversial topics.

A just-for-fun script for Amsterdam Airport Schiphol Public Wi-Fi network 
The other day I got stuck in Amsterdam Airport Schiphol for more that 10 hours due to a flight delay. I was very disappointed. "Will work from here" - I decided. Once I connected to public Wi-Fi spot a message welcomed me stated that access would be limited to 30 minutes per device :( I didn't give up and wrote this small script that would reset mac address and would reconnect to the desired Wi-Fi network automatically every 30 minutes. I hope it can be useful for someone else.

Yes, if the traffic on the street lessens then you will lose (some) business. But where is the unfairness in that? You don't actually have a right to business.

And if people are not loyal that's a serious problem with either the line of business you are in or your relationship with your customer.
Of course. In hindsight it's obvious - Apple does something right or not-at-all, and Touchscreens on a normal desktop interface isn't "right". Hence the MS invention of Metro interface and the new shallow-slanting all-in-one devices to avoid gorilla-arm.
Ask HN: Which of these ideas is more likely to get funded?
I am a programmer/entrepreneur located in Brazil, and my current goal/dream is to move to either USA or Canada (reasons being the quality of life and the economic/business landscape).

I figured that the best way to achieve that is to launch an interesting product/prototype from here, and once it gets some traction start talking with investors until I find someone willing to put the money in and help us make the transition.

Currently we have three ideas on the pipeline, and I wanted to get your feedback regarding which is more likely to get funded. They are:

1. Weight-loss mobile app - I know it's a crowded space, but I we have some innovative ideas to help people lose weight using the app. It would be a freemium model (basic version free, paid for Pro).

2. Reddit for Deals - A site where people can submit deals and bargains, either from sites or from offline stores. The deals get voted up/down. Revenue source would be advertising and sponsored deals.

3. Email Marketing Automation for physical stores - most email marketing services are focused on online sellers. We would create a platform targeting specifically physical/offline stores.

Any feedback is appreciated.

It's definitely an interesting option for schools with a need for larger computers that also have space for labs. For schools with smaller budgets and space constraints, it's hard to compete with Chromebooks for price and portability. It really comes down to the intended use: students working on graphics, game design, video, etc. will benefit greatly from iMacs; students learning typing and/or basic programming do well on Chromebooks.
Reviews on Play seem to be full of "I only installed this app because <friend> told me about it."

It's actually kind of interesting; you don't really need much of an onboarding flow because either you play with it to figure out how to use it (and apologize for the accidental notifications later) or you are told by a friend and they tell you how to use it.
Yeah, if the cube walls are low enough that you can see over them -- or if there are no cube walls -- it's just a disaster. I was in a place like that once and hated it. Eventually I found a spot where I was facing a wall; that wasn't so bad.

Rights can come in conflict with one another, and when this happens one has to yield. The public has the right to open court records, and defendants have the right to know who's suing them. These rights usually outweigh any right the plaintiff may have in suing anonymously. It is possible to sue anonymously in the U.S. (e.g. "Jane Roe" of Roe v. Wade was a pseudonym) but IANAL so I don't know by what standard this is determined or whether the TrueCrypt dev(s) would qualify.
I probably should add this is why I said it would need to be re-written to change the USF funding mechanism so it makes sense. Likely a flat fee on the ISP bills. People will complain, people will always complain...but it isn't raising taxes, just changing how they are paid.
Very cool. Wish I knew about this a few days ago.

Based on the pricing page (https://www.authic.com/pricing), it looks like you're capped at 100 paying users. Is that right?
Perhaps for iOS devices, but the desktop stuff can run for a long time on older hardware.

This is inaccurate. The 4% number is a figure that applies to businesses that are export related and that apply and receive approval for Act 20. It's a 4% tax on the inc's business income and is unrelated to capital gains.
You say to use a credit card over a debit card for the added security, but then advocate paying cash instead of relying on that security. Why?

I've had my Amex number stolen once or twice and it was fantastically easy to straighten out. Amex noticed it and called me. They next-day'd a new card, and provided me with a list of places I autopay so I could change my CC#.

The whole ordeal cost me maybe 20 minutes of my time -- well worth the benefit of not fretting over account security.

I used to sysadmin for a place doing high performance computing. They were working on a different problem domain than neurology, but still required loads of computational power.

The tech they used:

* GPGPU programming (CUDA, etc)

* Fortran (old code base dated back to the 80s)

* C/C++

* Matlab

* MPI & OpenMP

There was a little bit python but mostly from the newer grad students.

Scientific Linux (https://www.scientificlinux.org/) provides a pretty good base OS though not everyone uses it. Some places use RHEL or CentOS instead. For the GPGPU things the developers used Ubuntu because at the time it was the easiest way to get CUDA running. I have no idea if that's changed.

I'm not even in the security space and I'm sometimes afraid of tptacek's rebuttals to my comments.
If you follow the references, the story seems a little bit saner than CNBC makes it sound: Or Arbel didn't raise 1MM from institutional VCs, but rather (FT reports, without any details on the terms or confirmatory details) from his former boss at a company called Mobli, who apparently has an "angel fund". That boss, Moshe Hogeg, had in the same time frame commissioned an app from Arbel.

So, contra the impression you'd get from second- and third- hand reports of this story, some unknown guy did not spend 8 hours coding an app that just says "Yo", tour it to venture capitalists, and pick up 1MM.
So this spacecraft you're linking to makes radical 8g maneuvers, changes direction at a 30s/ roll rate, and can change altitude at will?
I can see the value in this, it's the same value that agencies get from metadata.

I might be sending a "yo" cos I'm home, I might be sending a "yo" because I'm out of weed, I might be receiving a "yo" because my pizza is about to arrive.

In all these cases it's the metadata that matters, I can infer the rest from that.
I'm not sure why there are so many negative comments here. This seems like a very well-executed collaborative document editing system, especially with "the button" that allows you to edit anywhere. Sure you can use Git or Word or whatever, but I feel this is super lightweight and easy. Great for small team/startup blog posts where you want to get everyone's feedback.
Well fortunately we can ask him. The F-117 was downed by Colonel Zoltan Dani, former commander of the 3rd battery of the 250th Missile Brigade in Belgrade, on March 27, 1999.

Question: "How did you manage to spot the stealth fighter?"

Zoltan Dani: "To that end, we used the Soviet-made P18 meter band radar which is capable of tracking any warplane irrespective of the configuration of its fuselage. The radar started to emit and we discovered a target at a distance of 15 kilometers – something that our operators were distinctly seeing on a display. I was quick to order the launch of a missile which destroyed the target."

I had a hackintosh Dell Mini 9 netbook that I used as my primary machine for 2 years.

As far as hackintosh's go, I think it's accepted that piece of hardware is one of the best supported ever. All the hardware worked flawlessly, all the time. It even slept and work up.

Even still, there were a hundred little things that it did (or didn't do) compared to Apple hardware running OS X. After all those years, the choice was very simple. I bought a MacBook Air, and I've never regretted it.
"those people are only at the mercy of negative SEO when they stand in the way of an SEO practitioner and financial gain."

In practice this is almost never. If you're SEOing in a small niche it's very easy to simply outrank the competition if you know what you're doing. It would take many more resources to knock out the dozen of sites in the SERPs above you, and even if you did it's not guaranteed that your own site would replace them.

The only time you would want to knock out your competition with negative SEO is if you're hovering around 5-10 on a high value high volume keyword, but in the real world sites that rank for those kinds of keywords have millions of legitimate backlinks, and it's next to impossible to negative SEO them.

So personally I've never seen a situation in which the time and resources expended in negative SEO would be justified. Even for reputation management it makes sense to rank dozens of your own sites rather than knock out all the "bad" competing site.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Lamson enables those hooks/workers as well - but integrates with an FSM and a queuing mechanism (Celery) to get this done.

Additionally, there is Apache James (Java) which does something similar.
> My grandma doesn't want

I strongly dislike when people use the "my grandma" argument. So what you're saying is either you're also as technically challenged or you're just an ass for not helping her and letting her go with the less optimal purchase because it's easier to set up.

Dropping $1k to browse Facebook does not make sense, and it never will, I'm sorry.

Disclaimer: I own a late 2013 rMBP.
The reason people "assume" it is expensive is because realistically, even small groups of average citizens, cannot afford to pay for a lobbying effort on things that matter to them.

I never said the process requires ridiculous amounts of money. I just pointed out I fully expect the process to result in rather large loopholes that are in the ISP's favor.

Ah well, it seems we more or less agree, so I probably should stop pestering you. ;)

Oh, so do I (and I'm more often on the receiving end, too). No question, there's a cost to being interrupted. Personally, I have to actively push back against my own displeasure at being interrupted.

At the end of the day, though, the value those interruptions bring to the project make them worthwhile. Problems are avoided before they become problems. Knowledge is transferred without forcing someone to learn it from the ground up themselves. Time is saved (maybe not my time, but project-time).

(Obviously, if you're consistently being interrupted with low-value, easy-to-answer questions, that's a bit different... there comes a point where you say "ok, spend a bit more time, and if you can't get it then I'll work more with you")
I would suggest that going to work for "the/this government", even on a contract basis, may and probably has all sorts of implications including perhaps a majority of which and the most concerning are not actually spelled out in the direct contract, itself.

Just trying to evaluate what those might include could be a very extensive and unachievable exercise.

I can imagine someone in a position like that of the TrueCrypt developers being loathe to enter into a scenario bringing with it such ramifications. Even setting aside any personal ideology, it has the appearance of a swamp in need of the obligatory sign, "Here Be Dragons".

Just my blue sky speculation, but based upon a number of years of casual and outside observation of facts and anecdotes that make it into the sphere of public knowledge.
