Voter fraud can be difficult to prove. Voting in most parts of the country is optimized for anonymity and voter convenience at the expense of security. I care about evidence, I believe it is absolutely possible to commit voter fraud and no

I think the biggest issue you’re going to run into is that the Department of Defense acquisitions process is incredibly complicated and favors large incumbents that specialize in government contracts. It can be very lucrative once you get

What if national voter IDs were available at your local post office or military recruiting station? The availability and hours would be much better than most DMVs or welfare offices.

Playing devils advocate, lack of evidence is not the same as lack of guilt. It is entirely possible that voter fraud occurred AND there is no evidence that it occurred. Again, I’m not saying that happened, but I think there are some common

Not sure if you’re being facetious, but some of us have too much of our pay deducted from payroll throughout the year compared to our tax burden, so the IRS returns the extra money to us.

Or we could just offer secure voter IDs to everyone that is legally eligible to vote free of charge. It could be like selective service. Sign up after your eighteenth birthday to vote. Also, use scantron style ballots that use computers to

I mean simplify the tax code to the point where it is so simple there are no loopholes for the rich to use.

Reduce government waste. You could leave entitlement programs completely intact and still cut billions of dollars in spending without anyone but heavy hitting political donors noticing. Then simplify the tax code with straight forward gra

Given that there are several brands of Mac mini server rack mount kits on the market, clearly there is a demand for Apple hardware in the server room. If nothing else they would be a nice alternative to rack mount Mac Pros for a build farm

This! Every time I hear about a new tax for the rich, somehow the middle class end up actually paying it. The rich have every tool in their arsenal to limit their tax liability. When you can afford the best accountants, lawyers, and polit

See also American Red Cross, Susan G. Komen Foundation, Wounded Warrior Project, and Black Lives Matter for other great examples of big non-profit charities that behave similarly. How can you possibly be against any of those causes? Don&#x

Dear Tim Cook, I have an idea for Apple's next great product. Bring back Xserves, but with M-series processors in them this time. Then hire the Asahi Linux developers and get Linux running very solidly on them. Make it so you can bu

Are there actually clear guidelines of what constitutes hate speech, or does it also include expressing opinions the mods don't like?

It's 4 kids, plus the Wife, but that's why we have a minivan.

It’s more like we tend to buy with a mindset of being prepared for likely future scenarios. These are things many people need to do multiple times a year.

> The OP did talk about pulling "policy levers" to change incentives. This is what we’re afraid of. Those policies will cause immense harm and suffering to people who cannot simply buy the small EVs that policy makers want us

We do at least once a week, which why we own a minivan and not a small car.

So if they don’t need a larger car they shouldn’t have them? Small cars are available, even in the US, but most people aren’t interested in buying them. There are lots of reasons for that. Unless you plan to get draconian about it, peop

In many parts of rural America it’s not feasible to buy groceries and other supplies a day at a time. The stores are too far away to drive to that frequently. Plus it would defeat the purpose of a smaller car as more energy would be requi

I fail to see a reason to buy a car that would be suboptimal for my personal situation.

Does anyone make a small car that safely seats 6 people with adequate storage space for doing a week worth of grocery shopping or luggage for a weekend trip?

If I'm not mistaken, the vast majority of web app backends are written in interpreted languages like Ruby, such as PHP, Python, JavaScript, and Perl. For example, Github, Shopify, and Hulu were written with Ruby on Rails and they seem

It's funny, the HN crowd has gotten all up in arms about this, which even if true is merely childish and annoying. However, when the previous management blocked the New York Post for daring to break the story on Hunter Biden's la
