A guy walked onto an elevator with me yesterday. Freedom!!! He wasn't just making a choice for himself, he was making a choice for me.

I don't think there's any argument about standing regarding Tesla suing Alameda county without reopening first.

Santa Clara had and has fabs, I don't think San Mateo did.

Oddly enough, in this case the local and state government does have a reason and did follow due process. A company that disagrees can sue -- more due process.

I don't know. I've always thought it should, and as a search engine CTO, I'd use the data that way. But I have no evidence either way.

It's been the case for quite a while. However, it's mostly useful if you have a huge web crawl, elsewise discoverability is a bit poor.

Yes, search engines monitor result clicks, bounce rates, dwell times, etc. They do affect ranking. And if you have Google analytics on your recipe site, Google has even more data about it.

In Python I use the "extruct" package from the scrapy people. It's not very good with syntax errors in the markup.

Gunboat is an awesome version of the boardgame -- no messages other than the moves on the board. There's plenty of diplomacy and careful deception involved.

The flu vaccine is less effective some years than others (3 guesses per year, sometimes they guess wrong), and is definitely less effective in very old people, who have less of an immune system left. That's why the recommendation has s

Article in Vanity Fair about a computer scientist who plans on submitting a paper for peer review at some point in the future. I wear a mask, but I have no illusions about how unsettled the science around doing so is.

That's an interesting question, and the answer is now discussed daily in most news conferences about the pandemic. Asking interesting questions is good. Asking commonly answered questions is...

The current policy for my county, state, and federal government is a targeted and phased restriction lift-up, that involves metrics that unclear because we don't really know enough yet. You might want to re-evaluate the "lockdown

Many peaceful countries have military satellites that do earth observation by optical and radar. It's not an offensive technology. I'm pretty sure Mexico isn't out there developing ballistic missiles and then selling them to

You said: > My point is that it is easier to cheat undetectably the more indirection you introduce into the process. It's not just "any" safeguards. It's existing safeguards that work well at the level of indirection

Ah. No wonder your followup was so pointless. If you ever do want to know about the numerous existing safeguards that are built into our bi-partisan-designed election system, you can probably educate yourself online.

by greglindahl 6y ago
Sorry, my mistake. I thought you wanted to have a discussion in good faith about the details you were unaware of. In hindsight, I was foolish.

by greglindahl 6y ago
There are already safeguards that make it difficult to cheat undetectably in vote by mail. Perhaps you can fill us in with your tips for avoiding them? The guy in NC sure flunked that test.

I tend to drop mine off at City Hall because I think that's more reliable than the mail. I also use the feature my county has to verify that my vote was tallied.

I've been a vote-by-mail voter in California since 2002. Perhaps you're describing a particular county? The only difference in my county from the Colorado system is that only a subset of elections are all vote-by-mail. And our nex

Are you sure you drew the correct lesson from the incident? There were a ton of rumors, witnesses, statistical evidence, and so forth. It sure didn't make it sound like undetected vote fraud could be common.

by greglindahl 6y ago
You might recall the recent case of voter fraud by a political "consultant" in North Carolina. It shows several ways to detect the chicanery you suggest.

What storage and transport problem? This is a region that has a lot of sun, a lot of empty land near cities, and a lot of electricity usage for air conditioning. They can install a lot of solar before they need to worry about storage and tr

A recent example of a steel rocket is Astra. I don't know why you think that cost saving measures are different from measures that "make sense".
