Just to pull the thread a little further, what if you already believed that the other side was using unfair tactics to achieve their political goals. Gerrymandering, unfair court appointments, electoral college unfairness, racially based vo

I will come out and say I have not looked at a single court case nor do I look at Trump twitter nor do I read any social media beyond Hacker News. My interest in politics is not partisan. I am not here to debate the likelihood of any sort o

I don't listen to right wing media. Or left wing media. They're both terrible. (I pay for my news to try an avoid the nonsense.) I will say this nicely as well, you should re-read my argument to see where the depth lies. I take ca

A stable belief system is not shaken by a hypothetical question. You can dodge the question if you'd like but it probably doesn't make your world view appealing to outsiders.

How do you explain "Russiagate"? I just got through 4 years of unbridled partisanness that puts your entire post in to question.

This type of "reddit" comment is not appropriate for HackerNews. I just want to be sure here. Is he a huge national security threat? If so, is he big enough of a threat to justify voter fraud?

Non-systemd systems seem very "hacker" to me. Bonus points for going against the grain and doing a project fewer people care about for the purpose of fulfilling esoteric software philosophies.

You do not see any motivation here for a Covid activist to use a shared login to send an emergency message? The motivation was to save 17k lives.

If California starts regulating new homes without also regulating old homes it raises the value of old homes while making new homes more expensive. Who would support this? I think California property owners should support any and all restri

f = O(n) makes no sense either. It should be f ∈ O(n). However, notation serves us and we don't serve the notation. People say "Big O" when they mean "Big Theta".

Even with that build it might still take several days to train some deep learning models. Much better would be multiple machine distributed model training. You can pay the true cost either by waiting for your one machine model to train, by
