It seems that generally you'd want all functions of an OCR engine aside from the character recognition itself—namely layout detection. (And sometimes you'll need the character recognition too.)

I'd bet that commercial OCR packages that are long in the game have unified code for these functions between regular OCR and PDF processing.

Tiny nit. An unveil pledge promise was added so pledging without it is the same as unveil(null, null).
The point I'm making is that our elections have worked well, because they're still going on, and our nation still has its original form of government. If we ceased to have elections, as you hypothesize, it would no longer be the same nation, because it would have abandoned its form of government. So the fact that we're having this conversation, talking about elections that have been going on for over 200 years, indicates that, yes, they're actually working pretty well.

When we eventually stop having them, then we can revisit this conversation and long for the good old days. Meet you back here in...a few centuries?

I'm not sure how we're defining an old car here, but I'm pretty sure a car from 2010 is not noticeably more dangerous than cars today.

Preferring a car with more freedomey™ qualities because you don't want to be tracked, analyzed and want to increase the security of your car (as in, to be managed only by yourself) hardly qualifies as being a luddite.
As far as I know they just used whatever number they wanted, leading to confusing situations where one producers ' 4736 (made up, no idea if this one exists) would be a totally different thing from another's 4736. You'd keep them apart by the manufacturer code, i.e. FOO4736 = 'double-width gizmotron' while BAR4736='confufabulator (4ch)'. I used to leaf through catalogues looking for 'interesting' circuits and came across quite a number of such confusingly-named parts.

Is there any way to make use of unveil() at the command line to accomplish the above? To clarify, I suppose unveil() is not intended to be used that way, but will there be some sort of wrapper that allows us to restrict a third-party already-compiled program to certain directories only?

I have several hAP ac Mikrotik routers and upgrading them is a pain. You can not just download an image from their website, flash and reboot. If you do so, your router will likely be locked in a bootloop.

I managed to have consistent upgrades by using only the main package and Netinstall, but it is still a huge pain in the ass.

Mikrotik makes stable routers, but they messed up the upgrade process completely.
Thanks!! I did my best :)
Have you considered taking Motorola to small claims court over this? Motorola has a history of turning off features in software months after selling a device, I remember when they bricked band 12 on certain devices at T-Mobile's behest.

As my friends updated, their coverage went from usable to not working indoors, with no warning that an update was disabling part of their LTE radio. Very scummy business practice, it is not good to let Motorola continue to abuse customers like this with no consequences.
This is an even better solution. I've never had a Battle.net account so was previously unfamiliar with this. I agree though, this is a good way to give people the display name they want which is the crux of my problem with making unique username the same as the display name.

I'm eastern european so I hope you don't mind me chipping in my opinion as a reply to you.

I just simply don't trust the 'public good', aka the government. When I'm looking at my payslip, 46% goes to the state in the form of taxes. Out of all that's left, no matter if I save or spend, at least 19% of it will go to the government again in the form of VAT. A lot more if I want to become an entrepreneur or buy something big like a house or a car.

I pay a lot in taxes. A lot of people pay a lot in taxes, yet things have always been the same. Add in the political scandals that happen pretty much on a weekly basis: money siphoning or laundering, weird law bills, election fraud etc. and it's easy to see why people are distrustful of the government.

This comment is meta, i.e. not strictly related to the content.. but looking over the HN comments, I find a majority is pro-Russian with the exception of one downvoted comment noting accurately that the US equivalent of cheap spaceflight (Crew Dragon) is important for these missions to the ISS.

I think both types of currency are important. Humans have basic needs which need to be met in the shape of atoms and joules which are quite storable. We also have luxury wants which translate better to watts.
This separation might also be useful in the context of UBI schemes. And more generally I have a gut feeling, but can't quite substantiate, that many fairness problems stem from using the same currency for both, forcing the lower classes to work multiple jobs just to make basic needs while the haves compete with them just to improve their lifestyle and status.

> None of those things you've mentioned requires voter ID, so I'm not sure why you're advocating for a solution that fixes nothing you claim is an issue.

Respectfully, you're putting words in my mouth. I did not advocate for anything.

I was responding to the OP's assertion that, "democrats are working to improve election security while republicans are not." That assertion is facially incorrect, and Voter ID (whether you like it or not) is a reason why.

> Specifically: You can figure out if a voter is registered by cross-checking with the voting rolls, you can figure out if someone is alive by cross-checking obituaries and the other two issues can similarly be figured out by cross-referencing across all elections in a state. None of this requires strict voter ID to figure out.

Voter ID solves those problems at the ballot box. The volunteers sitting behind the desk aren't cross-checking obituaries or all elections in a state. You know that, so why did you say all that?

> voter fraud is incredibly rare in practice.

Why do you think that? After the last election, we saw video evidence of people being bused across state lines to vote where they weren't registered. That's just one example.

> Additionally all of those checks actually open up more avenues for hackers or less honest individuals to take advantage of said systems.

How would requiring photo ID matching that on the list of registered voters open up more avenues for attack? It's an additional form of authentication.

> For example dropping a bunch of people off of voter rolls to ensure that they have trouble voting or can't meet the deadline, mistakenly registering people as deceased and so forth.

What does requiring photo ID have to do with those forms of attack? Those can be done right now, without requiring photo ID. Why are you confusing the discussion with irrelevant issues?

> I think your assertion seems more knee-jerk than the person you're responding to.

Actually, your comment is the most knee-jerk in this thread so far. You've put words in my mouth and torn down a bunch of strawmen. You've identified me as an enemy when I haven't even advocated for one side or the other. All I'm doing is making logical observations. If you disagree with those observations, by all means, show me why.

The entire point of unveil() and pledge() is tight integration with the program itself, the programmers know best what their program requires, and unveils/pledges are typically invoked AFTER all the startup junk executes (such as reading in libraries, config file dances, etc).

To restrict it before the program even starts would require a huge amount of what amounts to spurious unveils once the program starts its main operating loop, and really misses the point of the abstraction its trying to create.

This is exactly where approaches like selinux fail, they rely on static distro/user defined policy that can only ever be set from before the program starting, and thus must encapsulate everything the program might ever try to do. With unveil and pledge, the program itself indicates what each branch needs to do, and can much much more tightly restrict itself.

Bruce Schneier's point is that this stuff needs to stop being optional and there needs to be accountability and liability. There currently is none. This is not true for other domains. If your car crashes because of some systematic defect that might result in expensive recalls and liability suits where the manufacturer might end up having to pay damages. Electrical engineers have a legal responsibility and certification is not optional for them.

If it is optional and just a nice to have feature for which you charge extra, there will be companies not bothering. And there will be companies offering cheaper certificates and confusing customers with important looking but utterly meaningless certificates. Our industry is already full of snake oil sellers offering meaningless certificates and guarantees. This type of ass coverage only works when there's a legal stick that makes companies make sure they qualify for the right certificates.

Currently companies get away with really bad stuff. There's no liability. This needs to change. Liability leads automatically to people covering their ass to avoid ending up paying damages or ending up having to do expensive product recalls. E.g. router manufacturers stop shipping updates as soon as they can get away with it; typically when they have a new model they want to sell. If the old one gets hacked their solution is selling you a new one. Not their problem. That's what needs to change. If it has a network connection, it has to be able to receive updates and those updates need to be for the lifetime of the product, not the warranty or the calendar year. Failing to ship critical updates for known vulnerabilities needs to have consequences.

Google currently believes it is totally acceptable to stop shipping security updates for their phones after 3 years. Not their problem if you get hacked apparently. They don't care. The only responsible alternative (from a security point of view) for them to do would be to effectively brick phones when they stop supporting them so that users are not able to get into trouble. That would obviously be unacceptable but somehow leaving your users exposed to known security vulnerabilities is perfectly OK, perfectly legal, and completely without consequences when the obvious things happen.

When bad stuff happens, there needs to be positive proof from all parties involved that they did their legally required best to prevent things. If it's a zero day bug, fine, you had no way of knowing. Shit happens. But if it then goes unpatched for 6 months because you can't be bothered to do anything about it, that's different matter. If it is a bug that was reported and fixed years ago and you product gets hacked because you couldn't be bothered to update your products that needs to have consequences.

That isn't the only reason. Amazon, Facebook, and Google are working to take over all kinds of public information services. The very transparency of government is at risk.

I keep harping on this public/private partnership that is being used to turn us into serfs. If laws prevent government from doing something, they simply push it to the private sector--they destroy our privacy and our freedom of speech. If corporations are prevented by law or by ethics from doing something, they shift it to government to enforce it on us using their monopoly on the use of force or via extraction by taxation either directly or in the form of currency devaluation.

These entities could be used to uplift us, but instead we are getting a variation of what the typical Chinese citizen is up against--abject cruelty and neo-serfdom.
