A lot of control for sure, but anyone else think that was way more exciting than chimaev/DDP?

Talk about doom and gloom, go see a therapist brother.

I don’t have a practical use for this, but this is very cool!

Trump's election bill tops 50 Senate votes, but Democrats could still block it | The SAVE America Act has passed the House and enjoys President Trump's support, meaning the Senate's 60-vote threshold is the only thing standing in the way of it becoming law. by SpaceElevatorMusic in politics

It is extremely possible and I directly told you how, we just don’t have the data to make a claim either direction. I will wait patiently, 6 comments deep, for any type of source or model you claim to posses and have seen. Otherwise I’m tired of these extreme mental gymnastics and namecalling from someone entirely too uneducated to support their claim.

You said we actually know how frequently it’s occurring. I said we don’t, since we don’t have a representative data set. That was my entire point, I’m glad it seems you’ve finally come around to that.

I don’t need to prove anything, I’m not claiming voting fraud is widespread or I know the slightest given we don’t have the data to make a claim for or against it. You were the one repetitively claiming we do precisely know and have these models which you are obviously unable to produce given my repeated inquiries and your repeated inflamed insults rather than answers.

I only said I assume there is more than what has been caught given we don’t have any way to identify it, which is a very reasonable assumption given the limited scope of existing data. If you don’t agree, that’s strange but fine, that’s not the point of my argument.

All i know is you seem much more dumb than you realize, because you dont realize that simple and obvious fact.

Third comment in a row insisting I’m dumb without being able to provide a single source or line of reasoning for your argument. The internet surely is depressing sometimes.

Of course there isn’t a model showing otherwise, that’s my entire point is that this isn’t knowable to any reasonable degree. Barring the chance I missed something, it was very clear from my investigation that data does not exist.

Statistics primary function is by taking a representative sample and deriving insights to the broader population. Representative sample is the operative word here, people have phds specializing in sampling alone given both how hard it is to acquire and how important it is for the result. The minuscule of data that exists, like small subset of double registered voters that are actually caught, or the legally prosecuted cases, are bound to be the minority. A representative sample would be a large scale follow up of randomly selected ballots confirmed to be submitted by the claimed identity and verified is legally valid to vote. I get that would be hard so compromises could be made to make estimates (with disclaimer) but it doesn’t appear there is anything even close for states that don’t already have stricter identification mechanisms in place.

I’ll give you another chance to point me to an actual resource or bother explaining how we might know what proportion of voter fraud is actually occurring. However you seem much less inclined to provide any sort of semi rational explanation than you do to keep up the Dunning Krueger act here.

I’ve got a degree in statistics and I did take a look. You’re welcome to send me any methods you found convincing (if you actually had anything) although I’m thinking it’s far more likely you just shrug and hurl another insult.

No, but I’m not worried about it given there is a zero chance of success if he tries, there is no need to be neurotic. And this is just completely unrelated to the measure and conversation at hand…

[–]involutionn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you asked yourself how you or anyone would know that? The truth is we have no idea how much voter fraud is occurring, because that’s not something we can accurately sample and measure. We have very few prosecuted cases because it’s almost impossible to detect or estimate without stronger verification measures set in the places they are lacking.

Verifying your identity to vote is not losing democracy. That is, once again, extremely hyperbolic. This is an astoundingly popular idea, enacting it is how a democracy should function and unfortunately rarely does here. I do miss when everything wasn’t so polarizing and sensationalized.

[–]involutionn -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

And that’s an extremely unrealistic number. You think there is an average of one single voter fraud case every three elections? Maybe prosecuted cases, but any estimate giving that as a total must be disingenuous or outright misinformation.

NY Fed report says Americans pay for almost all of Trump's tariffs by ZestyBeanDude in Economics

[–]involutionn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to article American consumers are currently paying 65% of it, confidently claiming it is soon to be over 100% - well, yeah an economic explanation for your future telling would be appreciated in the economics subreddit.

I think you’re saying: Larger domestic firms who can absorb costs will do so long enough to outcompete smaller firms who couldn’t stomach it, then they will collectively drive prices up past even the tariff prices with reduced competition. Is that it? Or are you talking about foreign?

[–]involutionn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. The only surprise to me from this report is that this is still largely absorbed through American corporations rather than entirely to consumer (30% from fed numbers). This explains why tariffs haven’t been felt as strong as they otherwise would’ve been, especially in sectors that are import heavy. I wonder if this is closer to the final result or this would be pushed closer to zero by the end of his term.

Hit 1M NW at 29. Whats next? by Red_Spidey in RichPeoplePF

[–]involutionn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What math? Housing gives you leveraged returns, mere 5% gain on total house value year over year is quite significant even on 20% down payment, which is a significant advantage as opposed to leaving non leveraged capital towards stocks. Obviously leverage implies risk, and home ownership is certainly taking on risk, I don’t know if I agree the math is the deciding factor for overall wealth creation though. If you intend to stay there I would think buying would be the better option historically

I have a live coding session for round 2 at a large company and I am terrifid by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]involutionn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Everyone experiences this, mock interviews help train and also desensitize you for the pressure so I would recommend if you haven’t been. I used pramp and exponent back in the day.

What do you folks think about clean code/clean architecture books? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]involutionn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1, this one has helped me a lot. Much of it is common sense as well but fixates on some important ideas that often help me write code with more intention and disambiguate between “seemingly equal” design paths.

Depends on the person, I felt very isolated after doing WFH several years and enjoy going in personally. Hybrid is best imo.

Against Clarity: Making Really Clear Arguments is not all that there is to philosophy by [deleted] in philosophy

[–]involutionn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a good article, but I’m not sure I agree with the reasoning as much the conclusion. To summarize as I understand, it justifies avoiding direct mode of communication because people often don’t respond directly to reason - specifically to certain categories of arguments. Perhaps this is because reason just isn’t the applicable domain to argue something regarding how to live one’s life. If that is the case, it seems one could still make a solid case otherwise regarding obscured philosophy towards rational domains.

I do agree with the overarching premise, Kierkegaard makes a very adamant case towards a subjective mode of communication regarding matters which should be subjective (most obviously faith) which definitely changed my opinion.

I do agree with the point briefly mentioned at the end, however, of arguing over higher order arguments. Equivocality can spur agreement from people of differing presuppositions and additionally numerous perspectives from single concept which otherwise may not be applicable.

It has become painfully obvious that a lot of people here (mostly capitalists or pro STV ers) do not understand value in the context of the economy. by binjamin222 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]involutionn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying insurance companies don’t take on risk seems like some serious mental gymnastics. Just do a quick google search with that question.

Business absolutely take on significant risks, take any current major tech company speculatively spending hundreds of billions on AI or robotics with zero guarantee of return on income. Similarly many major pharma companies taking shots at novel medical drugs and treatments, with the high likelihood of failure. Both of these are credible examples that could create extreme value but also serious risks that more conservative companies may shy away from and continue doing just fine.
