This comment highlights how ridiculously politicized HN has become. Just an hour ago this post was downvoted, and somehow has been upvoted despite not adding anything to the discussion >You know what's even more toxic? Literal Nazis

I agree with @pxtail that these companies will hopefully get what's coming to them. But on another note, their flagrant behavior only highlights the immense power that old media had before the Internet became as big as it is today. Jus

It boils down to this. Left or right is irrelevant, these companies will remove you if you say something they don't want you to say, there's no additional complexity that needs to be analyzed. Any judgement that one needs to make

I don't see why this would be related. What is the difference if this was enacted in a Trump presidency vs a Biden presidency?

This is not about registration, it is the replacement feature that can cause a ballot that has not yet been successfully validated to be invalidated.

I'll clarify: using name and DOB allows you to see voter information. This is relatively benign as it is public information. However the site also has the option to request a replacement ballot. When requesting a replacement, the websi

The tweet is wrong yes, but my main point was the fact that requesting a replacement ballot invalidates the previous sent ballot.

Yeah, I shouldn't have jumped on the tweet, but I was able to verify on the website itself that it does notify that an existing ballot would be canceled when requesting a replacement. I've no intention of creating undue panic. I&#

If you head to the website and put your name and DOB, the cancellation of your ballot after requesting a replacement is mentioned at the bottom of the page I'll add that anyone can request a replacement, and the cancellation is effecti

I would like to add that so far, the information suggests that anyone in Washington (known to use a similar system) receiving a mail-in ballot can have their mail-in ballot cancelled by a stranger on the internet before it arrives. I will u

There's no need to qualify that with "many authoritarian or the like use". There's no way to know whether or not PRISM has had any impact. Even if the program were to stop today, if everything remained the same, you coul

Because IMGUIs are designed to be procedural, making it easy to couple changes in UI with changes in control flow. Requiring an ID for every widget would get really annoying really fast, considering IDs would become voided pretty often. The

You put a lot of weight on your morals and work ethic but my point is that those mean nothing to me. I don't care how hard you work to get the job done. Once you're salaried, how efficiently you perform your job is up to you, and

It depends on the work you are doing and how good your team is at managing what needs to get done. We know who our clients are, what features they want, and how to think about adding those features in. That's pretty much all you need t
