Here's my perspective :

* While I am interested in broad scocio-political discussions about technology's impact on how we live I have zero interest in US specific political discussion. Not because I think it doesn't affect people outside the US - it does, but because anything I have to say, or anything most people (including US citizens) would say would just be armchair activism or pointless what-if pontification.

* I come to HN mainly for tech discussions and insights into things that influence me and those that I can influence as part of the tech community. US politics is neither of those.
> But how would you even prove or disprove that someone has the key?

The same way you 'prove' anything in criminal law: by adducing evidence that convinces a jury beyond reasonable doubt. If they don't have any evidence, the accused has no case to answer.

> If they arrest someone with a laptop encrypted with ransomware, will they force this person to pay?

Which provision are you thinking they could do that under? s.49 and 53 aren't relevant, they're only if someone is in possession of the key. With ransomware, some third party bad actor is in possession of the key.
A very practical piece of advice! Thanks. This is roughly the picture I had in my mind about how to progress. My mother (who is a full-time consultant now) did this. She'd work at the government office during the first half of the day, then offer consultations during the rest of the day at a private establishment. She carried this on for several years and finally, when she retired from government service, she went into full-time practice and that seems to be working very well for her. The time-line of this is much longer than what you managed but I think her focus was never to quit government service asap.

Congratulations on where you are! I'd love for something like this in my career.

If I understand this correctly, you want to randomly force some-one to make their vote public.

This makes voter intimidation real easy. Just say: "if anyone's vote is made public and not for candidate X, I will murder them and their family". That basically turns voting for candidate Y into gambling with the life of your entire family.

That is incorrect. React is faster than destroying the document and rebuilding it from scratch on every day's change. It is slower than making your own stateful edits.
Personally i'm still not convinced this is good or bad.

Protect users AND educating script kiddies, this is a hard trade off, and all lazy updating users will be more vulnerable then before.

If you want to build a mobile browser that works on both iOS and Android, WebKit is the only game in town. That's because Apple doesn't allow other web browser engines to be used. If Gecko and Blink (and the upcoming Servo) were given a fairer playing field, perhaps the mobile browser market would be less tied into WebKit.

The price bump is the thing that puts me off the most.

And while the change to USB-C is a step forward did they really need to completely abandon Thunderbolt 2 ports, couldn't they have had a transition with at least one port on the new MBPs?

I've asked this question probably two dozen times to various people, in as earnest and non-confrontational a manner as I can , and the only time I've been able to receive a response that departed from "You're a racist." was when I was told by my professor to leave the room.

I cannot figure out how to get an answer to this.
The guy that you're replying to seems to have no idea how these things work. I worked for an automotive manufacturer in India (hardly a paragon of virtue in terms of regulatory strictness), and we had rules about even seemingly-inane stuff like the HVAC being able to cool the car down in a certain amount of time, and maintain a given temperature overnight on a cold night etc.

You can't just walk in being an arrogant, know-it-all whiz kid and demand that the rules be bent and mere mortals be forced to step aside in deference to your superior intellect.
Exactly, which is why validating the MX is better than merely testing for NXDOMAIN. If you try delivering to something with implicit MX it is far more likely to fail than something with proper MX records. It's also more likely to fail because the A record doesn't point to a host running SMTP, so your provider will be forced to queue it and keep retrying. SMTP servers pointed to by stale MX records are much more likely to return permanent failure right away.

Nobody who actually cares about reliably receiving mail should depend on implicit MX. Of all the things mail administrators have to do these days, like reverse lookup, SPF, and DKIM, is it reasonable to care about anyone who can't be bothered with MX records?

I'd gladly reject such domains if doing so improved overall mail delivery rate to popular domains. And unlike 99% of situations where an email fails to show up, the sending web site can instantly report the reason for failure.

It depends on what market you sell into. If you are selling niche software in the USA and Europe then don't worry too much about piracy. If you are planning on selling in China and India then you need to think very seriously about how to protecting your software.

Lots of good information here already, but I also wanted to throw in Zapier's Guide to Remote Work[1]. It's very long but provides a ToC for you to jump to what's relevant to you, but the gist is that it discusses the pros and cons of remote work from both the employer and the employee's point of view.

You're probably learning many of the benefits of remote work already (but there might still be some tips for you in there to get the most of it), but it's also handy to know what the upsides (and potential downfalls) are for your employer(s) so you can better see issues from their point of view, make a more compelling case while interviewing for a remote position, and so on.

I definitely second the suggestion to look for remote-first companies. After interviewing around and getting through a half dozen interview processes to finally get an offer "as long as I was comfortable potentially relocating later if remote doesn't work out", I ended up completely omitting all companies that weren't 90+% remote from my job search. When you can actually work remotely, the whole world is your job market -- you can afford to exclude companies that are on the fence about remote work.

Good luck!

Worth noting that Alex Roy and Hotz probably have/had a business/working/personal relationship:

"From August 24th-27th of 2016, Roy and teammates Warren Ahner & Streetwars founder Franz Aliquo broke the Electric & semi-Autonomous Cannonball Run records again, driving a Tesla Model S 90D 2,877 miles from the Portofino Inn to the Red Ball garage in 55 hours, breaking the prior record by 2 hours & 48 minutes. Tesla Autopilot was engaged 97.7% of the journey. GPS data and video evidence was captured using both a US Fleet Tracking device, and Comma.ai's Chffr video logging software."[0]

It would not be a leap to assume that Roy might have a vested interest in puffing up his acquaintance. Also, Alex Roy is a "journalist" insofar as he probably got paid to write that piece. But other than that...

The simplest and most important fact about computers -— COMPUTERS ARE TURING COMPLETE

Corollary: a computer program can not be observed, at all.

We can not know what program runs on a given computer, because the only possible source of an answer to this question is the computer itself, which in turn can be programmed to give ANY ANSWERS (due to its Turing completeness). A system program+computer can present itself to an observer as anything arbitrarily far from the real internal state of the system.

That's enough for any amount of fraud to be completely undetectable. NO AMOUNT OF REGULATIONS CAN CHANGE IT!!! A program can always be invisibly replaced/altered.

The law defines the elections as a particular process. Computers arbitrarily change this process — this is not legal (in a very literal sense of «legal»). Computers make the regulations inapplicable and the entire electoral process unregulated — lawless!

The computers should be banned from the vote counting process regardless of the actual fraudulent activity of any parties.

How does Google's disclosure allow people to protect themselves, though? They say to update Flash. Great, but that doesn't explain whether or not anything can be done to prevent the specific Microsoft vulnerability from being exploited if Flash isn't involved.

So if Google doesn't have any way to mitigate the vulnerability, all putting these details out do is allow more actors the chance to use the vulnerability until Microsoft can release a patch, which is exactly the opposite of responsible.
