True. My memory confused population census tallies with voting rights. Still, measured worth of a person is fairly proportional to weight of their vote. Limit either, and you limit both.

That's the way it was originally, when only people who owned land could vote (not the men-only part). It was a basic test of responsibility, similar to the 501-karma downvote requirement on HN. Holding land wasn't that hard, but

Mostly it looks like the discussion devolved past the point of value.

So what does this mean for potential recounts? Would they still mean anything, or is it pretty much known at this point?

I'd render a guess that the 'ugh' has to do with the general assessment that systemd falls prey to the same flaws that GP identified in the onion layers of orchestration and containerization systems: it's unnecessarily c

It was on topic to what GP was replying to, though. It's fine for discussions to wander.

I'm surprised you're being downvoted. This is an important facet of the history of slavery that people tend to forget / ignore today.

If someone wants to check, I'd bet he at least forked or starred the github repo. A script to pull the list of those people, minus anyone whos been active since april 2017, would probably show his account.

I imagine that google can do on-the-fly translation because they can eat the cost of the servers running the translation. Best I've seen for firefox uses deepl, which I've heard (on HN) is better than google translate. https:&#x

Indeed. However, note how small the sample size is, which makes it extremely difficult to draw conclusions. Quote from p14: > Finally, we considered the possibility that seniority may be at play and that gender simply coincides with seni

I wish people would emphasize this more. Bitcoin isn't anonymous, and with the legal requirements for reporting transactions, much of what happens on there can be corellated to real-world identities. Far as privacy goes, it's prob

I wonder if it's worth also observing how often men would interrupt other men, and see if the men are actually interrupting the women with a greater frequency.

I remember reading the Song of Roland in high school. It's a fairly famous, old Christian epic poem from the 11th century. In it, I remember it depicted a Christian knight and an Islamic paladin with diametically and fundamentally oppo
