Not as my major, but my subject involved taking several undergrad courses in CS; and some programming is part of my work.

Afaik, I never wrote about it here on PaRD (or anywhere else on jsp). My specialization is a bit niche, so I dont want to go into too much detail to protect my privacy. Not gonna dox myself. ;)


You can just say what your department was :D

So, tldr, you didnt ever take one of those "hard science classes" that you were talking about. Not surprised tbh.


Btw, this has nothing to do with a pissing contest, it has to do with you talking out of your ass in absolutely blatant fashion while pretending to have authority on the subject.




Yeah, you keep telling yourself that. :/
I'm so glad you afford me the same consideration you afford yourself with regard to doxxing oneself.

I can see that you've decided to move to Fenderville, so I'll leave you to it. ^^

We could also talk about you not knowing you can use freshman level physics equations to determine rocket range by just firing it straight up.

You've never shown any real scientific knowledge, but you've made a lot of elementary errors on the subject.

Judge reinstates New York presidential primary canceled by state

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-new-york/judge-reinstates-new-york-presidential-primary-canceled-by-state-idUSKBN22I0UB

Former Vice President Joe Biden is already the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party, which led Douglas Kellner, a co-chair of the New York Board of Elections, to say the New York primary was “unnecessary and frivolous.”

However, Analisa Torres, a judge of the U.S. District Court for New York’s Southern District, granted a preliminary injunction and ordered the board to hold the election on June 23 among presidential and delegate candidates who were “duly qualified” as of April 26.


Quote
“I’m glad that a federal judge agreed that depriving millions of New Yorkers of the right to vote was wrong,” said former presidential candidate Andrew Yang, who brought the lawsuit.

He and his pledged delegates had argued the cancellation violated their rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. constitution. The First Amendment includes free speech rights.

Yang and his delegates “made a clear and substantial showing of likelihood of success on the merits of their claim” that the primary’s cancellation violated their constitutional rights, the judge wrote in the ruling.




I understand the arguments on both sides. I wonder how it'll play out. Maybe drive through voting?

June 23 - that should be enough time to prepare for and pull off an all-mail election.

After that absentee ballot fiasco in 2018, I don't know if everyone will agree on mail in ballots.

I think they should just use fast food place's drive throughs to vote. First window gives you a ballot sheet and a pencil, second windows takes the filled out sheets back. Personally, I always trusted the in person paper ballots the most.

Same here, but going fully vote by mail imho seems the most responsible approach during a pandemic. It's not like NYC will be back to (almost-)normal by the end of June...

I think it would be easier to just go digital and only use tax file numbers as a log in, but until that happens ill just refuse to vote and pay the fine lol.

Not everyone has a tax file number afaik...
And on the flip side, there is no fine for not voting in the US. In fact, Australia is an exception in this regard.
