I'm not sure what you're getting at with that statement. Trump did not become President due to some kind of fraud, despite what the media attempts to ram into everyone's heads. He won the election fairly and without fraud, unlike many Democrats who promote non-eligible voters voting, outright voter fraud, and use all manner of on the ground support people to mess with ballots and voting machines in key districts in order to get the outcomes they desire. To say there is no voter fraud is to completely overlook who is committing all the fraud and breaking all the laws in the US and who (the media) is covering for them 100%. It's sad that we Americans can't set aside partisan loyalty for even a single second to look objectively at the overall issue and that every time someone attempts to improve voter security in any meaningful, multi-layered way, there is instantaneous push back and accusations made. Bottom line: Voter ID is not racist. Ensuring the code in electronic voting machines is audited and secure is not ridiculous. Limiting absentee ballots and making the majority of people vote on election day is also not outrageous. It is far too easy to tamper with elections and elections are far too important to allow it to happen. And WHO was doing the tampering needs to be brought out into the open and accepted for what it is.

Trump, for better or worse, is the antidote to a lot of problems that have risen over the past 30-40 years and have not been addressed but are going to now be addressed. A lot of oxen will be gored in the process. A lot of people are going to wail and complain all the while the US gets the reform it desperately needs. Seriously, if you can't see how bad the corruption has gotten in DC and who promoted it and why, I feel sorry for you. We never had a two-party system, we just had an old-boy network that got really, really corrupt and was about to attempt more unspeakably depraved acts.

I understand your sentiment but I do wonder what the extent would actually be. The largest website are more than capable of adapting, and older sites are more likely to either not use any JavaScript or only accept http traffic (which is already a lost cause). I suppose the ones would take the biggest hit would be the people running WordPress blogs with various (already insecure) site plugins.

Suppose if these security changes would slowly get imposed over all https traffic in a coordinated fashion among the major browser vendors over a large time span? https requires some periodic maintenance anyway, so it shouldn't add an unreasonable workload.

I worry that this isn't happening because the ad industry (including Google) doesn't want to take responsibility over distributing untrustworthy and insecure code.

Is plastic waste that much of a problem in first world countries? We're pretty diligent with transporting our garbage to landfills where the plastic doesn't really do all that much harm. It was my impression that the vast majority of all plastic waste that ends up in the ocean comes from countries that don't have proper garbage management, where people just dump everything into the next river.

Dropbox has a document scanner that has completely obliterated the anxiety I get over whether I should keep a particular document or not. If it doesn't need to be physically presented anywhere, it can be scanned and tossed, and Dropbox offers a convenient, perfectly adequate solution to do that.

Has anybody mentioned the Punkt MP-01?
https://www.punkt.ch/en/products/mp01-mobile-phone/

I've had it for 2-3 years now and it's been pretty great. Granted service can be kinda spotty because it's 2G and I'm not sure how much longer it will be viable when 2G is phased out. It's also very expensive compared to dumb alternatives but I don't know of any other phone on the market that is so clean in terms of physical design and UX.

Punkt is making an MP-02 which will run on 4G I believe but I'm not sure if it will be as minimal. I think they're partnering with Blackberry to bring like secure email or messaging or something, which to me seems anti-dumphone, but I guess people expressed demand in a user survey...

> I am not sure over 300,000 women a year in the US is 'almost no'.

We were talking about women getting raped, impregnated and having children unbeknownst to the father. That was the "almost no" I was talking about.

> With an estimate of somewhere in the 7-12,000 a year having children as a result.

An "estimate". Fine. There are about 4 million births in the US every year.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/195908/number-of-births-...

So I'm gonna stick to "almost no" here.

> And something like 1 in 6 having been raped in their life time. Yes those are estimates, but still a significant number.

More estimates? By whom? Let me guess, an organization dedicated to inflating numbers?

> Edit Source: https://www.rainn.org/statistics/victims-sexual-violence

Of course. I no more trust "estimates" from rainn than I do climate change "estimates" from exxon.

As I said, we were talking about women getting raped, impregnated and having children unbeknownst to the father. You turned that discussion into a stealth argument about "rape culture".

OP asserted that "many" spouses of "cuckolded" fathers were a result of rape. It was a very specific assertion. I responded to that, not anything about rapes in general.

Why is every response on this thread pushing the "rape narrative" here? I think that 1 rape is too many, but that wasn't what we are talking about? Why inject politics into this?

WW2 started on a nuke-free Earth, and indeed finished with the use of nuclear weaponry.

The knowledge of how to build nuclear weapons wont go away, so the next World War, with no-one having nuclear weapons would probably take 4 years less time to escalate to the use of nuclear weapons (rather than MAD, it would be a furious race to build and use nukes first).

I feel like it's an issue because everything is plastic wrapped these days. My local supermarket has plastic bags of apples, where every single apple is individually wrapped in more plastic - just WHY???? not to mention the stupid amount of plastic containers used for ham, cheese, bread....few of which are recyclable. I've had some deserts lately, where the outer packaging was plastic, then there was a plastic tray, holding two plastic cups, each with a plastic cover on top. It's an absolute madness, I feel like I'm shitting right on the environment just by having some dessert.
Not that long ago all ham/cheese would come wrapped in some waxed paper. Bread would come in a paper bag. Nowadays I'd estimate 80% of my refuse bag is just plastic. And sure, my recycling bin is full too - but the refuse bags are not going to be recycled, it just goes straight to the landfill, where the best hope for it is that it will be used for fuel at some point, like it is in Scandinavian countries. So yeah sure - it's not going in the ocean. But I don't think we're a lot better at it either.
That's an unfair characterization.

He's scanning the product of the New York State Newspaper Project, which is/was a project funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities from 1982-2010 and the New York State Library/Archives. That project got access to these old newspapers, scanned the paper to microfilm, etc. That required alot of time and money.

Tom does a cool thing, but he's utilizing the work product of the government, mostly using the library system to provide him with the films at little or no cost, and will almost certainly sell the collection either himself when he needs to or via his estate.

Meanwhile, the microfilms will be around for hundreds of years.

One thing I think is interesting is they allow employees to play but they have a different color for their tickets, which for consumers are handed out at the cash register based on certain items bought. I'm guessing this is to keep employees from taking a huge stash of tickets home at the end of a shift.

The F-104 is almost Korean war era; its maiden flight was in 1954, it entered active service in the late fifties and remained operational at least into the early eighties in some countries - my uncle was conscripted as a mechanic on the Starfighter for the Royal Norwegian Air Force in 1979-1980. They were phasing in the F-16 at the time, so probably retired the F-104 shortly thereafter.

> Apple and Tesla can't support their designs indefinitely and remain profitable.

I don't see any indication of this. The support windows for all Apple and Tesla products are in line with consumer expectations. The two-year shelf life for iOS devices is driven more by market demand and the way that phone contracts (used to) work than anything else. You don't see that problem with Macbook Pros or iMacs, where consumers expect a longer lifespan.

The expectations for a car are even longer, which is why Tesla still supports its earliest vehicles, and says it will continue to do so moving forward. I don't see any reason to disbelieve this, nor evidence that the company can't sustain it.
https://man.openbsd.org/unveil

"The first call to unveil removes visibility of the entire filesystem from all other filesystem-related system calls (such as open(2), chmod(2) and rename(2)), except for the specified path. Subsequent calls to unveil expose additional views of the filesystem... Attempts to access paths not allowed by unveil will result in an error of EACCES when the flags argument does not match the attempted operation. ENOENT is returned for paths for which no unveil flags are present."

I asssume this means the e.g., open("fully veiled path") will result in -ENOENT before the traditional UNIX file and directory permission bits are even considered.

Same in Denmark, we've had several weeks of uncommonly high temperatures, and July 2018 is officially the sunniest month on record, since we started recording sunshine hours in 1920. Given the forecasts for today and tomorrow, we're set for around 338 sunshine hours, compared to the normal average of ~200.

Temperatures around 30C and locally over 33-35C may sound mild, depending on where you're from, but this is a country where summer temperatures usually hover around 20-25C. We're simply not used to it, and our houses are built to keep in the warmth, not get rid of it.

In short, yes.

The creation, processing, transportation and recycling of plastics is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions[0] and other forms of industrial pollution like water table pollution from landfills.

A conservative estimate[1] puts 10% of all plastics created (from first world countries too) being deposited in the worlds oceans, to disastrous effects[2]. The US economy is one of, if not the largest, contributing factor to the above pacific plastic waste problem.

Even if we're better at recycling plastics than some countries (still pretty terrible at only ~10%) and not letting them leak out into the environment, the sheer volume we consume and dispose of still makes the US and other Western countries by FAR the biggest contributors to plastics pollution.

Most security headers exist to enhance site security. This "security header" seems to exist solely to save site operators the trouble of having to vet what third party resources do (mostly ads I assume).

They seem to want to have their cake and eat it too (i.e. embed toxic content, without vetting it, while also disabling many of the more toxic tricks). Problem with that is that toxic ads pay more BECAUSE they're toxic, that's why you went with that ad network, higher CPM.

How about you just do your job as a site owner and employ an ad network with a code of conduct/morals? Not to mention that this won't work, because real sites actually need some of these features.

In the 1970s, I remember being out of town and buying a bag of doughnuts at a grocery store. I walked to the cashier who promptly asked me if I wanted it in a bag. There was a pause and I didn't know how to reply.
