  • It wouldn’t really help I think, I think what needs to be done is a change in the verbage and communication, nov 5th should be communicated as the deadline, and early voting should be renamed to just be the voting period.

    In my state early voting starts on Oct 17th, meaning you have more than two week for in person voting.

    Absentee ballots (mail in) can be cast as soon as you get it, which is typically almost 2 months in advance.

    Besides, the people who would get ‘national vote day’ off as a holiday are the people who probably already have the means to get to a ballot box.



  • To add, it is typically manifested as generic ‘compute’ or in the case of azure ‘functions’ where you environment the code is running on is abstracted away, instead you are just paying for compute, e.g. this function takes x time/cycles to run and so it costs y to run it each time.

    In theory you don’t need to worry about scale or anything, just deploy your function, and pay for what it uses.



  • I know too many people whose dogs and cats died from getting run over.

    Also, I was bit in the face by an off leash dog as a child, went to the hospital, they had to stitch my lips back together.

    A “well trained dog” is very subjective and requires a well disciplined person, and a “well trained dog” can still get confused, scared, or angry.

    It’s like saying seatbelts are absurd because a good driver doesn’t crash.









  • Yea I don’t really “see” an apple, it’s more that I can pick out one infinitesimally portion of it at any moment. So if I think about the leaf I can construct the leaf, but not the rest, and it is constantly changing as I move to other parts of the apple.

    I wouldn’t really say I see anything, it’s more abstract than that and hard to convey.
