My cousin was in a coma for 3 months over the election. They didn’t vote. Should we just deport them now?

Was a stupid fucking take.

Is there a particular meaning to 'active/inactive' that I don't know that justifies your out-of-proportion outrage? What is the problem with observing that 35% of Americans just don't care enough about this subject to go vote ?

> Democracy is about the active citizens.

You really believe that? If you don’t vote you’re not an active citizen?

I have no words.

A citizen that don't vote for the most important election is clearly not very active.

This is misinformation and has been debunked at length. The graph compares median wage to mean productivity which is nonsensical.

The people you are replying to are trying to have a meaningful discussion by providing references and some basic argumentation. Can you add some link or arguments that explain more strongly your point of view instead of using strong affirmations ('misinformation', 'debunked', 'nonsensical') without any trace of argumentation and no reference at all ?

The most egregious one I saw, I was tracking down a bug and found code like this:

    bool x;

    ...

    if (x == true) {
        DoThing1();
    } else if (x == false) {
        DoThing2();
    }
And of course neither branch was hit, because this is C, and the uninitialized x was neither 0 nor 1, but some other random value.

Maybe it was initially supposed to be a sort of "3-value boolean" (true/false/undefined) and not a standard bool. You can (rarely) meet this pattern in c++ if you use boost::tribool or in c# if you have a nullable bool. There is probably similar thing in other languages.

Even if the computational power evolve exponentially, we need to evaluate the utility of additional computations. And if the utility happens to increase logarithmically with computation spend, it's possible that in the end, we will observe just a linear increase in utility.

0,19 per kwh. Damn man, here it is like 0,97 per kwh (Western Europe) … stop complaining

Regulated price in France:

- 0,1952 per kWh for uniform price.

- 0,1635 / 0,2081 for day/nigh pricing

- 0,1232 /... / 0,6468 for variable pricing

You have a very bad deal if you pay 0.97€ per kWh.

It is always funny to ask people what country has the longest land border with France.
Rexxar · 4 months ago
The other funny thing is the land border with Netherlands ... in the Caribbean.
