the1pato··on Looking for Voter Fraud (In Old Elections) with Data Visualization
> I am not asserting that something improper has occurred here, but when journalists are asserting unequivocally and in unison that nothing improper has happened, because the US election system is non-exploitable (while providing zero evidence of this),

Yeah, this in particular has been very weird.

the1pato··on Millions of Americans could lose their electricity as shutoff moratoriums expire
That's true, but you can also lose your house for completely unrelated debts in the UK (i.e., you could pay your mortgage but if you have a different, unrelated loan that you default on then that creditor could have a court sign off on seizing your house).

Google Docs is pretty big, too.

But the rail lines are private in Japan...
the1pato··on Both in rich and poor countries, universal health care brings huge benefits

I changed the settings in Keychain Access hours ago.

Does anyone know what's going on?

the1pato··on Why Google+ Will Take Half of the Social Networking Market from Facebook
>While this is an attractive bet, as Google you would have to hope that neither your OS or network got too popular or you could quickly end up in anti-trust territory.

Sadly, this is probably true. Such integration may prove too useful to consumers and too game-changing for Google's competitors. I wouldn't put it past them to use the federal government to makeup for their lack of innovation.

the1pato··on Skype for iPhone now with video calls
No, there is Skype for Android (which is available for any carrier), it's just "wifi only" in the U.S., but most people should be able to get their hands on the non-U.S. version if they know how to use google.
the1pato··on Ask YC: Why should I care about Twitter?
The status updates are sent to your phone/mobile device, though. Here you are, reading news.YC, and buzz... Stephanie doesn't like what she just had for lunch. That's not a little bit intrusive?
