- Comment on 34% of the US population doesn't vote. Why do polticalitcians cling to the idea that these voters can't be reached? 3 days ago:
Personally I think mandatory voting is a bad idea. It will not make then suddenly care, they will just vote for lolrolfcopter party.
The US does a lot of bad things around voting, but it being on a workday is probably the biggest hurdle. Most other countries have it on a weekend or holiday. That means that most people can go vote and not have to chose between potentially getting fired and vote. Which, to no surprise mostly affects lower income voters.
Also combined with the witch hunt on mail in voting makes it very hard for lower income people to vote. Which is by design.

Or even worse, password field doesn’t work with paste.
- Comment on Boarding passes and check-in could be scrapped in air travel shake-up 2 weeks ago:
It says “could” not “will”, so they will just never implement that part.

Missed to change the legend to “North Canada” or just simply “Canada”

Has Golang fizzled? It has struck me as too primitive, but basically on the right track.
My biggest issue with Golang by far is the close tie to Google. They are not our friendly innovator, time and time again they make decisions that will help them earn more ad money, and nothing else. And they have a lobg history of releasing something and then never fix the issues with it, and then more or less abandon it.
Other than that there are afaik some other issues with go, I’m not an expert but from what I hear the GC is quite aggressive and you can’t tell it to run when you want. Doing something time sensitive? Well, bad luck. GC time!
- Comment on Here’s why some people still evade public transport fares – even when they’re 50 cents 2 months ago:
They could still have taps. I lived in another country that made bus fares free, but you still had to get a card and use it to tap on and off.
