Flagged for trolling. US is holding 50 independent elections during a pandemic. Refusing to let a central authority count all the votes is a feature, not a bug.

What do you mean? The code is on the build server. You only need to push your human-timescale changes.

20% faster CPU isn't going to solve your problem. You should look into caching and distributed compilation. The biggest companies in the world writing the largest software don't have build times that slow.

Is that the kind of "naughtiness" Sam Altman looks for in a startup to invest in?

The Republicans already take everything to 11, as a matter of stated policy, since 2008, regardless of whether the Democrats go to 10. Note that Trump and McConnell are rushing to fill the Supreme Court, despite 4 years of leaving about hal

1/3 to 2/3 of the Senate is lame ducks. They are only in power because the utter devastation of the Trump era won't hit their ballot until 2020 or 2022. The "blue wave" of 2018 didn't wash over the Senate, only

What's more "unnecessary partisanship" then refusing to follow the Constitution because the President is of a different Party (a concept which is not part of the Constitution)?

40e6 people in California aren't a bloc. The blueness/redness of a state is nothing more than the arbitrary balance of urban vs rural population. States are "purple" in actuality. The major geographic divide in US politi

That's a fantastical interpretation. Reid pulled the nuclear option to stop Republicans from refusing to do their job (approve judges). McConnell would have pulled the nuclear option himself as soon as he got the majority, regardless o

If the Democrats don't hold the moral high ground, why is McConnell lying about his rationale? He didn't say "The majority can do what ever it wants, and that's moral", he made up rationales that change to as the fa

June 1992, quite a bit ways past February. There's always another election coming up.

you forgot "and is after 1890" since he is ignoring the contradictory cases before then.

If we can't find people of integrity for the Supreme Court, the Republic is lost regardless of the official policies.

This is likely due to law getting far more specific over the decades, with less room for interpretation.

You seem to be conflating political/Facebook "Friend"ship with respecting and accepting a fellow human being.

Have you seen anyone not wearing a mask? Did that person face legal consequences? Do you think speed limits have >85% compliance?

It's a serious question because theoretically a mask can trap viral particles for later introduction into your membranes, instead of them just passing by in the air.

> does modern science consider viruses to be alive? This is a (bad) philisophical question for people who do not understand the concept of "spectrum", not a scientific question.

> In 2015, researchers tested this concept in human volunteers using a nonlethal flu virus and found the same result. The higher the flu virus dose given to the volunteers, the sicker they became. I didn't know that was ethical.

Users of English constantly generate new low hanging fruit for research. In math, any low hanging fruit orchard becomes a non-mathematical science.

An arbitrary problem is most likely be either trivial or many orders of magnitude too hard for a computer, not solvable in the tiny range of scale that a computer can handle. No matter how many computations your computer can do in a decade,

The comments on the WaPo article are very high quality but show that we have no idea what's going on because the reporting of scientific data is uselessly vague in the critical details.
