Keep in mind that mail-in ballots are counted by centralized OMR which generally provide the voter less assurance that their vote was successfully tabulated than a precinct tabulation system. For example, a mail-in ballot that is erroneously marked or overvoted (too many choices in a race) may need to be simply discarded for that question, while a precinct tabulator will reject such a ballot and return it to the voter for correction or to be spoiled (replaced). Mail-in voting systems also generally use a permit system to allow voters to check online that their ballot was received, but the need to maintain a secret ballot means that permits (actually the outer envelope usually) and ballots are separated at tabulation and so mail-in voters have less assurance that their ballot actually made it to the tabulator than voters in precinct tabulation jurisdictions where they insert it themselves.

All of this said, the convenience and accessibility of mail-in voting is extremely beneficial and so an ideal solution may be a hybrid arrangement in which voters have the option of mailing in their ballots or submitting them for immediate tabulation at a precinct or early polling location. This system actually exists in several states although the "mail-in option" tends to actually be an extension of absentee voting (basically, you are allowed to vote absentee by mail even if you just want your ballot sent to your own house inside of the jurisdiction), but awareness of the mail-in voting option could be significantly improved.
You are already making progress or you are not a narcissist after all. Narcissists never accept that they are narcissists or come to that realization.
Australia is always a curveball! I've wondered how a precinct counts those ballots, especially if some people vote below the line. I hope someone with experience comments here.
I've read through the description and now the whitepaper and I've got a few takeaways.

1. These attacks can't be carried out over the internet, you need local access. Thats easier than you'd think with employees with unsecured laptops/vms/etc.

2. The exploit(s) appears to be RCE in the OS that runs on the device, but not neccesarily translating into executing configuration commands on the control plane. But its not a big leap to make configuration changes...

3. The DoS case doesn't seem great either but also requires local access.

4. The string format bug has the most entertainment value for me -> You can spew CDP packets into a switch/device which potentially overwrite other devices CDP data, which means you could potentially issue a poweroff or change the name of said device.

5. The phone vulnerability is good too -> If you can broadcast/spew CDP from your host, you can be annoying to phones.

6. The cameras can only be harassed by plugging directly into it, rendering the vuln somewhat useless.

My takeaway is that you can't easily escalate vlan privileges via CDP which is good, but you can def monkey with the controlplane and maybe someone will come up with a way to change the IOS configuration.
> All of this seems to suggest that there is something about the American education system - and perhaps our overal culture - that is failing our children, and our black children in particular.

You're missing a huge cause before jumping to this conclusion. African immigrants don't just differ from African-Americans in that they weren't born here; they're also a subpopulation that's gone through the dramatic filter of the US's legal immigration policy. If you have a filter that is explicitly trying to select for the educated and economically productive, it's practically a tautology to say that the outcome of that filter will consist of a more educated and productive population than your control group.

I can't imagine the same dynamic wouldn't hold for recent immigrants from most regions vs their many-generations-American counterparts.
That in no way solves the problem though, it just makes it ever so slightly less likely to happen.
.net + angular seems to be popular around here and I've been on the other side of that, knowing .net but rejected for not knowing angular (but plenty of experience with other frameworks).

So just like how Uber had to spend billions to subsidize markets to maturity, it's the same with any future competitor, low cost isn't a thing. Yet if Uber is already there the end market wouldn't look like how it currently is, it would be a mutually assured destruction with Uber where nobody wins. So spending billions to achieve nothing makes that possibility remote. Any competitor would have to bring disruptive technology.
I had the same complaint years ago. I believe they said "some people got this who were in special test groups" or some other nonsense.

>When someone says "A therapist really helped me." then their opinion carries its own evidence.

that's only true for individuals which you do not believe to be affected by choice-supportive bias[0], which is , more-or-less, non-existent as far as humanity is concerned.

If someone buys therapy, and they feel as if their quality of life has been improved by the purchase, great, but that's not a quantifiable justification of much without normalizing out inherent bias in the decision making process; a process that isn't as simple as 'an opinion as evidence'.

I think the problem is that those with narcissistic tendencies avoid anything they aren’t good at doing. They don’t like learning new things, being a noob is unbearable. Or so I’ve read.
So what exactly did these companies gain?

They didn't hire you now, but might be able to hire you in the future because you would maybe apply again (assuming you get passed the "we already didn't hire this person" filter)?

With all the risk, that doesn't seem like much of a payoff to the company, to me.

(Though I am glad you got feedback you considered valuable, and I think it's cool that the companies did that)
From the bottom of the article: “C. Brian Smith writes hard-hitting gonzo features for MEL, whether it be training with a masturbation coach, receiving psycho corporal treatment from a spank therapist, or embarking on a week-long pleasure cruise with 75 Santa Clauses following their busy season.”

I wonder if the author burned out and had a “fuck this” moment too.

Also this problem can’t just be a millennials thing. I wonder if it’s been happening for thousands of years and there’s already, optimistically, a solution we’ve forgotten about.
This sounds like a job for remote work, but I'm guessing this was the sort of shop that expected you to be in the office 4 out of 5 or more days per week.
Apple doesnt need third parties to create issues with their products, they create enough on their own without acknowledging them and it doesnt seem to have damaged them all that much.

I also dont think that issues caused by third party repairs will:

- cause consumers/media to point their fingers at apple first and foremost

- become widespread enough to actually be influencing apples image.

Even if they do, I imagine that such issues will likely be caused indirectly by apple anyway, be it bad design decisions or abysmal availability of parts&schematics
I don't know how relevant that is. Some people will always get divorced and while there are ways to address that (and, multi-generational houses that lower the stress of child rearing may reduce it) I think we can treat them as independent and still see benefits in multi-generational household. Instead of having either one parent or the other and placing the full responsibility on that single person, a multi-generational household of a divorcee might still include that person's parents and unmarried siblings to help raise the child.

Seems really cool. It seems that the biggest gatekeepers for image formats are Apple and Google because of iPhone/Safari and Android/Chrome.

Basically, if you want to be able to easily view the image on a mobile device or on the web, the format needs their blessing.
I feel like the reason that is, because middle managers believe they need to be better by not making mistakes, and things without mistakes are bland and inhumane, also some of them maybe have a some kind of complex. I might be wrong tho?
No it doesnt, because "Italian supercar industry" is owned by FCA and VW.

Nope, it's still very, very sinister. If a repair shop does something so incompetent that they cause a battery explosion (extremely unlikely, but let's go with it), then the repair shop will be held accountable, not Apple.

Apple's worst case is that they'll have to push back on bad news reporting. That's not a huge burden.

The reason Apple does this is solely because they make a ton of money doing this. Apple stance here is harmful to literally everyone else, whether they use Apple products or not.

Apple is being a straight-up villain on this issue.
It's "fixable" at the surface level of course, and this is expected of anyone in a basic functioning society.

In another thread about how it's legal in Germany to try to break out of jail because it's human nature (literally this is the legal justification!), I made the point that it's also sometimes human/animal instinct to murder, rape or steal. We are expected to overcome these instincts in daily life, and so IMO it should be no different in jail...

As "normal" humans we will always have these animal natures talking to us. It's nothing to be "fixed", it's something to be accepted, understood and managed. They called this being a Gentleman (for men) and being a Lady (for women), given the values of the time.
> "You were barely beat out by another candidate, we hope you apply again next time!"

If this is true and if the company is half competent they'll be reaching out to you proactively next time, not hoping you might see the position and think to apply :)
It goes both ways. I have had a couple of interviews go south and have no interest in continuing the conversation even in a constructive way. Best to say thank you for your time and move on.
There's a confusion about being "narcissist" and having Narcissitic Personality Disorder. They are worlds apart.

My impression is that the OP does not have NPD, but perhaps, you were raised by one. As for whether you have NPD or not, I don't really know.
This situation can be remarkably complex. In my county of around half a million people there can be over five hundred distinct ballot types in some elections. The underlying reason for this is election consolidation, in which elections held by different authorities using different voting districts are all combined into one ballot for the voter's convenience.

For example, in many areas the school district legally conducts separate elections based on separate precincts. But, no one is excited to take a separate trip to the polling place just for the school district election, which results in very low turnout. To improve turnout and save money, the school district questions are combined onto the same ballot as the municipal election - but two voters in the same municipal election precinct may be in different school district precincts. Imagine how this challenge multiplies as you add soil and water conservation districts, judicial districts, economic development areas, county issues, etc.

> We've always been trained to think critically about media

If that was true, media wouldn't exist because nobody would consume it.

> Seems like now it's just "hate journalists" not "think critically".

The criticism was about a bloomberg article, not a journalist.

> (I even had classes on it in high school - one called "critical thinking"!).

Do you really believe you learned to think critically in a government funded indoctrination center called high school? It's not what high school were designed for. It's certainly not what high schools are equipped for.

> I'm hoping I'm just imagining it though (confirmation bias!), and it's really always been like this.

It's always been like this. The media has always lied. People have always criticized it. Nothing has changed.

"Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day."

On a certain blog that is completely outside acceptable standards for wrongthink and political correctness, a very popular topic of late is why NASA seems to have it in for Elon Musk Personally and SpaceX generally. The commonly stated reasons, and I will be paraphrasing and transliterating freely, are: HR culture defining administration wide objectives and methods and reasoning, professional embarrassment over languishing reputation, gross incompetence, turf defense of budget and status, and a desire to stay firmly planted on Terra while being lauded for dreaming of the stars.

I am always skeptical of any argument that is unfamiliar, but more and more it does appear that NASA has lost its way. The shuttle was an obvious mistake in retrospect; there may even be some credibility to the obscure theory that NASA only did it to further separate themselves from DoD. I think NASA has become a political creature that is less concerned with science and more concerned with SCIENCE™. If this is the case, they will fight tooth and nail against any expansion of manned space exploration (because it will be both private and military in nature), the will fight against innovation that doesn't spring from their own workshop(s), and they will use Cape Canaveral (and their heritage facilities/infrastructure) as a way to bully "adversaries" into submission.

I hope this isn't the case, and if it is, I hope they can reverse whatever practices and policies that have led us to where we are. As it stands though, it appears NASA is more like OSHA then it is like its historical instance.

>Having hobbies will help avoid the trap that people get into when they take a job "because it pays well" and not because they are interested in it.

What? People take those jobs because they need money to live and that's their only option (or at least they think it is). Unless your hobby pays, it has absolutely nothing to do with it.
It’s not clear what you disagree with, since everything you mention is entirely a personal benefit. The company itself only increases its risk with feedback simply by exposing a larger surface area to potentially contest.

Sociopaths and psychopaths are extreme narcissists with broken brains. In the case of the sociopaths it's a learned behavior while for the psychopaths its broken hardware. This is an extreme and clinical form of narcissistic personality disorder.

Aside from that the term narcissism just means self-loving. It comes from the Greek after a person named Narcissus who fell in love with the sight of his own reflection. People can experience and express variant degrees of a selfish nature without being mentally broken. To call somebody a narcissist literally means the targeted person is primarily selfish.

> Car services were all making money charging sustainable rates to willing customers

I think a fairly good portion of car services were making money charging monopoly rates to customers who had no choice but to take a taxi. It sustained the car services, but sucked for everyone else (as anyone who taxied in SF pre-Uber will tell you, or waited on an hour-late pre-booked taxi to arrive in NZ to go into town on Friday night, or took a chance with an "unlicensed" [some random guy] taxi in London because the black cabs were nowhere to be seen)

For example: tourists, people who can't or don't drive for some reason, people who've been out drinking, etc...
Elections are managed by the states and, in some states, almost all aspects are deferred to the counties. There is currently no standardized framework for elections system security on a national level and it is difficult to implement one for political reasons. DHS has moved in the direction of producing guidance, but it is my hope that a mandatory framework can be introduced.
If so, what are some important metrics you usually look at?

I wanted to know myself better, how much I can do and if fasting affects my athletic performance. I did my 3x full-effort HIIT in a row each day and even went climbing steep mountains on a bike on days 2-3 during my first 3 day electrolytes-only fast. The second climb I had to abort in the middle of the climb due to "losing vision", i.e. I perceived my vision was deteriorating in an all-out effort (like when you overdo it with HIIT).

I read some study mentioning that HIIT during fasting helps to keep muscles from breaking down as muscles start being utilized at around day 4 to synthesize glycogen from proteins once liver storage is depleted, so I keep doing it, though days 4-7 only one series a day.

Global Warming is a failed hypothesis. I don’t think science mag got the memo that it’s failed to such a degree the hypothesis was renamed the more ambiguous Climate Change.
This is only one side of the equation. What’s the cost of not providing the feedback? Either similar negative feedback on social media, which is maybe less intense but more numerous, or the negative feeling the candidate gets from the experience, which can impede future applications or applications from friends.

I don’t know which way it tips, but looking at just the potential damage of providing feedback seems insufficient.
The section "Works on any kind of image" is really misleading, as it mentions JPEG as a lossy format (alongside JPEG 2000) then says "FLIF beats anything else in all categories."

It really needs a giant caveat saying "lossless". I mean, that's still great and impressive, but it clearly doesn't erase the need for a user to switch formats as a lossless format is still not suitable for end users a lot of the time.

(It does have a lossy mode, detailed on another page, but they clearly show it doesn't have the same advantage over other formats there.)

I attempted a battery repair myself, personally. No repair shop to blame required! Some people would blame Apple for home repairs
That's bullshit - millions of electrical and electronic items have been repaired before in the past and in case something went wrong with the repair and caused damage, it's always the person who repaired who was blamed and not the company that manufactured the product (unless they gave faulty parts).

If Apple is really concerned about batteries exploding, all it needs to do is to make it easy to buy original or compatible batteries for its iDevices and provide removable batteries (like millions of other phones today still do). The user won't even have to go to an engineer to replace the battery ... oh, but then how would planned obsolescence work and poor Apple make more money!
Which blog?
There is no reason for not using more compelling examples.
That's indeed true. A massive amount of writings (noise) are about victims. And rarely good at explaining how to evolve if you are on the other side of things.

As a semi narcissist, I have two things to say:

- you are your nature, take a deep look into it, try to balance it to avoid damaging pitfalls for you and others; after that let yourself be. Trying to distort yourself can be ultra-damaging.

- depending on the case (and you seem, if at all, a soft one since you publicly admit questionning and willing to change) even a deep bred narcissist can change and love other deeply, but beware, love is an emotional exchange and when your brain start to live on mutual affection, you're now subject to the pain that goes with it when bonds fail. Another ultra-damaging scenario.

Best of luck
From a security standpoint, it really depends on your threat model.
