Not all for lack of standing. The evidence that has been presented for fraud is ordinary and could not have affected the outcome of the election. That's consistent with what every one of the ~3000 county clerks in the U.S. will tell you about every election.

A much bigger issue is election fraud including voter suppression. What has pissed off Republicans this time around, is expansive mail-in balloting as a result of COVID mitigation. It managed to expand the voting pool against their wishes by making it generally easier for people to vote. It's difficult for judges to look at this and go, "ok so your legislative intent is to make it hard for some people to vote, but these are still legally cast votes per the legislature's own legislation, and you just don't like the outcome so you want me to disenfranchise them?" That's a no. A judge isn't going to do that.

The closest competitor to the MBP Retina, imho, is the Google Chromebook Pixel:

https://www.google.com/chrome/devices/google-chromebook-pixe...

.. which is great and everything, but doesn't have quite the oomph that the MBP Retina has .. yet. I'd love to see the Pixel get a hardware spec refresh and actually compete with the MBP Pro - if there were a configuration of the Pixel available with the same/better RAM/CPU/Disk configuration as the MBP Pro, I'd jump on it in a heartbeat. I don't need Apple - I do need a machine that can take the knocks and kicks issued by my lifestyle. The physical design is the principle attraction; but the specs must be competitive, and imho, they're just not. Yet. Lets see if a Pixel2 is on the horizon that gives the MBP Retina some heartache ..

In a typical deployment of MitM tech (e.g. Bluecoat, Websense, etc.), things like personal banking, health care sites, etc., are exempted from the interception policy to avoid personal privacy issues and HR headaches. This can be overridden in the local policy of course, but I've rarely seen that in practice (anecdote isn't fact, blah, blah).

Be aware that the site you're going to may be MitM'ing sessions to meet other compliance regulations (e.g. SOX in the financial sector).
This is the right solution. You don't check for any changes every single time you read out a timestamp - that's just unnecessary overhead and removes the ability to write simple queries to search for timestamps within a certain range.

You store the timestamp, and a foreign key to the timezone as it was defined at the time the timestamp was inserted (orginal revision). You then schedule a sweep (every day, say) that simple detects which timezones have received an actual update, then select/update any rows which were created with the previous timezone entry. Not very difficult to implement, and generates the minimal amount of overhead possible.

The only exception is the one raised by laut regarding an event scheduled for say 02:30, and where 02:30 simply does not exist after a rules update. The sweep can detect these and in theory should alert the user to the inconsistency. An annoying edge case to be sure. :/
> Given the operational difficulty of implementing a transparently-MITMing proxy in a Certificate Transparency regime, I'm not sure you can say with certainty that it wouldn't have prevented this attack. Every time you want to MITM a new site, you need to contact some number of auditors before you can complete the connection.

1. Certs don't need to include SCTs, so, end of story.

2. Even if that was a requirement, they can be faked just like the certificate.

> In any case, it is certainly not a perfect solution. But it is a solution.

It doesn't prevent MITM attacks (even Google acknowledges that), so it's not a solution (if preventing attacks is what you want).

> But the okTurtles scheme is much worse: if a certificate gets compromised, the only recourse is to pick a new website name.

Certificates are not associated with the key to modify the blockchain entry. So if a certificate gets compromised, you can immediately fix it by updating the blockchain entry.

> BTW: "Resist commenting about being downvoted. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading."

If people downvote me for no good reason, I'll point it out to them. Doesn't matter to me if it bores them. If that's a problem maybe they shouldn't downvote in the first place? :P
Because the master forces the slave to do it's bidding.

I'm sure it is faster to use your hand. But I'm not sure faster is the right metric. Safety is probably higher on my list, and I'd say voice commands are safer than taking your hand off the wheel for any reason.
Agreed. How they managed to spread that over 6 pages is beyond me.
I'm not much for repeating content. That's why I don't like to buy DVDs or build a collection of things. Music is an exception, but as far as film and books -- I have zero interest in experiencing the exact same content repeatedly. I could not consume all the wonderful content in ten life times, so I'm not going to short myself something that I have yet to enjoy, because I have to read a book the fourth time or see a movie the tenth time.

My first thought in response to this actually deviated from the intention of the topic. You see, I am constantly amazed at humanity. For all the stupidity and evil, we have a capacity for overwhelming kindness, compassion, ambition, and ingenuity.

Few days ever go by that I don't see something that makes me have a moment of extreme pride in this species (and I wonder if other species from other planets out there in the great beyond would share any of the same appreciation).

Anyway, those thoughts are usually followed directly by the realization that life is so painfully short. Too brief. No matter what fantastic accomplishments I witness in my few remaining decades on this blue ball, I will miss out on everything that comes after. I probably won't be alive when we discover other life in the universe. When we accomplish teleportation and long distance space travel. When we have kick ass robots that we can have conversations with. When we do everything that nobody can even conceive of, today.

I wonder, would anyone take up the offer if it was given, to be in some sort of stasis that allowed you to awake for one year every hundred years? You'd miss out on all relationships and so much life, but you'd also experience a year of life every century, well into the 31st century (and probably beyond, if medical science could extend your life another forty years at some point, there).

I'm tempted. I can't say I'd do it with absolute certainty, but I would have to think very long and hard about the chance for such a prolonged journey. Plus, I bet girls in 3011 are total sluts.
If the Vively subscriber sets his settings to HTML 5 or "video for everyone" it will use that by default.

If you visit from iPad, you'll see video in HTML 5 regardless of the user's Flash setting.

Btw, if you post a vertical video shot on iPhone, that works too, it will be shown vertical.

We try to use the playback tech most likely to feel familiar and give good performance for the end user (viewer). A Vively subscriber can set to HTML 5, though, then preference is Ogg for Firefox, WebM for Chrome, H.264 for Safari.
I believe that is the case in the US also and it results in extremely poor company behavior. I would rather invest in companies that prioritized doing the right thing to maximize long term profits than companies just try to maximize the next quarter’s returns.

I assume the restaurants often don’t have any choice (it costs the platform near nothing to drop a restaurant unless it’s a major nationwide chain, on the other hand a restaurant not on the platform will get out-competed by those who are). This problem is big enough that some consumer protection agencies should take action - at the end of the day the platforms are most likely breaking some laws by blaming restaurants for issues that are outside of their control.
There cannot be a defense.
Someone else telling you what kind of personality you really are is preposterous.

You gotta be kidding me. Facebook is a multi-billion dollar corporation. Just make them do it. Their legal departments will figure it out. They'll probably do it even faster than the brazilian authorities too. Google once fed brazilian judges this exact same excuse after being ordered to take down content. They got told to figure out a way to comply since surely Google has the capability to do it. As far as I know, they did.

I entered university knowing exactly what I wanted to do. "I want to be an engineer" I said.

One month in I made a demo robot for my robotics club "I want to work in the field of robotics".

Over the course of the first semester I organized 3 big events "Maybe I should get an MBA, I am good at this".

One month into the second semester I started getting good ideas about one start up Idea I had had for quite a while "Entrepreneurship is the way to go for me. I want to be my own boss"

Around the mid terms of the third semester I worked on a position paper titled "A memory model for object oriented computer architecture for a international conference (still waiting for the results for acceptance, pray for me :) ). It has been appreciated by my professors and Dr Ramesh Karne from who's Ideas I was inspired. "I am good at this, may be I should continue in the academic life and do research."

At the end of the third semester I wrote this --> http://www.lifeasparesh.co.cc/2010/10/my-confused-state-of-m....

I entered college/university with a confidence that I know what I want and that has been shattered when I expanded my knowledge.

That sounds like a very reasonable avenue to explore.

I've done a fair amount of work with dataflow UIs in the past, and it sounds like this could be an opportunity to leverage that work. To illustrate, here's a sample screenshot from my other product, Conduit Live (a video compositing app):

Here we have the best corner in town from which to beg for money. If you are getting low in funds, this is the place to stand. However, if you see me coming then you better move out of the way. I won't let my corner go without a fight.

This restaurant is the best for taking meals which customers haven't finished. The meals are huge and most customers leave them half eaten. You have to move fast though, or else you will have to eat from the blue dumpster around the back of the building.

And now we come to the end of our tour which is where we rob the guy in the back wearing the gold watch and filming this with the expensive video camera. We told you not to take anything expensive with you and I have to eat.

Additionally: MacOS is case-INsensitive. Therefore, "this_file.txt" and "THIS_FILE.txt" and "This_File.txt" are all the same. You can set the file-system to be case-sensitive by Disk Utility, but at the chance that you break a binary (like MS Office) that assumes case-insensitive filenames on a Mac.

MacOS is also BSD-based, so you won't get some of the nice GNU options to "ls", "find", and others.

Install the XCode Developer Tools to get GCC and such. And I don't believe that these will be found by the Software Updater, so you'll have to keep them updated yourself.

The 'egg song' from hens is very loud. One of our hens can give the neighbor's roosters a run for his money on sheer volume. I am very glad our coop is a decent distance from the house and away from the neighbors because of it.

Side note, if we weren't avid egg eaters, I would have gotten silkies as they are more petlike and lay a lot less. The bantam versions are good for smaller spaces but that does open up more predators that can target them. I feel comfortable with my larger hens as they can defend against most small attackers like rats (who live in fear of the ladies now), small hawks, and house cats. I agree with most of the other recommendations on getting just hens preferably all the same breed and same age as it limits the bullying among them. There are a ton of great resources out there on raising and caring for chickens. The big ones are know what predators are in your area and build/buy a coop accordingly, free range is great if you have a protector type animal (rooster, livestock dog, some goats even), otherwise plan to have a covered run or moveable run, and you will get so many eggs so planning ahead on how to deal with them is a good idea. I scramble the extras and they get fed to the dogs and back to the chickens. You can crush the eggshells in the cooked eggs for the chickens to help them recoop the calcium.
Will they still be able to do what they do with 2800 fewer people? If so, what does that say?
In addition to the comments about writing (and title), I would also encourage everyone to read the Epistemology part of the slide deck. It gives a nice framework to form beliefs, opinions and test them.
Oh yeah, good point. A lot of people these days have never used a communication medium like that. It would be interesting to work at a company that really prioritized people who prefer that communication style, over the non stop stream of consciousness that Slack turns into.
In my case I'm a direct response marketer, so it's finding ways to maximize volume and decrease cost per customer acquisition in very competitive spaces. A very different thing than what most developers would think of as a hard problem.

I find direct response marketing fascinating because in a way its discovering truth - not what people say the want, but what they actually take action on.

If you've ever read Seveneves by Neal Stephenson, it's very similar to JBF's rhetorical style (scary similar). Big ideas, many ideas, full of contradictions, and fluidly swapping between possible interpretations to convince as many as possible, and demonizing anyone who figures out what your doing. It's nasty.

So you realized that your typing surface is too high. You have 2 options:

1. Lower your typing surface.

2. Raise your seat.

#1 can be handled with a clamp-on keyboard tray (get one with negative tilt), and for #2, try a drafting stool (don't buy until you sit on it yourself).

I had the same problem. For my office, I have both the tray and the stool, and for my home office, I just have a normal chair + a rolling adjustable desk surface that goes low enough to be used as a typing surface.

I also use a split keyboard (Kinesis makes great ones) and I'm in the market for a vertical mouse right now.

Don't listen to the people who say ergonomics is all bullshit and you just need to stand up (or exercise or whatever). Your equipment makes a difference.
I thought about doing this as a form of easily managed passive income.

>Perhaps you don't recall, but we somehow managed to deliver freight, grow crops, fly planes and find our way to places long before GPS satellites were a thing.

Yes and if you are older than 30 you likely remember when everything said "4-6 weeks delivery" not "same day" or even "2-3 day delivery'. That's right, even in the 1990s if you ordered something 4-6 weeks was a perfectly acceptable (and realistic) delivery time frame.

You also had a fraction of the flights that you do now. GPS for aviation right out of the gate increases fuel efficiency of any given flight as well as safety.

GPS went fully operational in 1995, with 2 billion less mouths to feed as well. Take GPS away from farming and you'll plant less efficiently and crop losses will increase both of which will drive prices up. A lot of the larger farms actually heavily rely on automation, assisted by GPS, for both planting and harvesting.

This is a single technology using 24 satellites that is space-based, that has affected virtually every industry in the world.

Imagine what other space-based or space-derived technologies might one day exist. Imagine what amount of change they might make on civilization. Imagine what sort of profits they might generate.
Yeah I had it a few weeks ago, too, honestly. Execution and timing are hard. Not for something like this, but sometimes you can be too early with an idea, too...
This is a very valid issue. I have been using ssh-ident* for this reason. You can add keys to ~/.ssh/identities and it'll start up an agent for each identity when you use it. This means if the machine you connect to is indeed stealing your keys, at least they only have one key, not all the keys you're currently using.

There are some caveats; such as having to specify what domains/IPs should use which identity, and also having to alias ssh to get it to work nicely. So it's not perfect, but it does solve the problem you talked about.
