It's literally not about you, the individual. I'm not trying to chastise you, but we, as a society, need to consider waste. If 300 million people have your mindset, then that's 300million plastic gloves in a landfill every 14 days, which is too much. And I assure you that other people don't have your mindset.
Ya. I encourage you to learn how real world election administration is done.

Ballot stuffing just isn't possible with the procedures used in King County and thru out Washington State.

With poll sites, everyone had to sign in a poll book to receive a ballot.

With postal ballots, they use ballot tracking and reconciliation reports.

So. There are many valid election integrity criticisms. You haven't mentioned any of them yet.
Sounds like me. :) My non-replaceable battery is starting to go; otherwise my Windows 10 Mobile Phone is still giving me just enough (maps, weather, music player, MMS, email, web, camera) to get by.
Most of the conservative establishment was against Trump at the beginning. Especially Fox News, the primary mouthpiece of the then-traditional Republican Party. Remember that Trump was/is quite critical of the Bushes and other neocons. Watch one of those "Trump won't be president" highlight reels on YouTube and you'll see plenty of Republicans included.

Even today, you have a fair amount of Republicans who criticize Trump for various reasons, including Mitt Romney, the 2012 nominee, and John Kasich. Additionally the new "Lincoln Project" is funded and run by anti-Trump Republicans.

That will do nothing I'm afraid. I already don't use Chrome, and even if I spend all my free time asking people to stop using Chrome for weird technical reasons from their point of view, I'm afraid that will do nothing compared to the advertising power of Google.
This is nothing new, the right-wing media has always been heavily subsidised.

(I hate to use right/left as a term, so, sorry, but it's useful in this context).

The problem is the left believes that the value of what they're saying stands by itself, facts and good journalism are important and should be valued!

The right knows that it needs to drive emotion, and get it's ideas in front of people.

This isn't just my opinion, this is the opinion of Eric Arthur Blair (commonly known as George Orwell), who's first works mocked a very cheap newspaper which espoused "anti-left" talking points.

To quote wikipedia:

> His own explanation was that the rise of the "puritan middle class", who had stricter morals than the aristocracy, tightened the rules of censorship in the 19th century. Orwell's first published article in his home country, "A Farthing Newspaper", was a critique of the new French daily the Ami de Peuple. This paper was sold much more cheaply than most others, and was intended for ordinary people to read. Orwell pointed out that its proprietor François Coty also owned the right-wing dailies Le Figaro and Le Gaulois, which the Ami de Peuple was supposedly competing against. Orwell suggested that cheap newspapers were no more than a vehicle for advertising and anti-leftist propaganda, and predicted the world might soon see free newspapers which would drive legitimate dailies out of business.

Of course the free newspaper in the UK (the metro) is quite right wing, but the other papers (Sun, Daily Mail) are much cheaper than contemporaries that are not right wing (The Guardian, Independent). -- While none of these are out of business yet, it's interesting to note that the DailyMail and Sun have a significant online presence, often appearing in the top 3 search results on google for an article, sometimes being the only freely accessible version of it.

The first link in the article is not a "lie".

Lots of the comments don't trust Google, but I'm not sure I would trust ADT. I was looking to buy a house, which had an ADT system installed. I just called them up, asked about the address, how much monitoring would cost, etc. and they told me what kind of panel, sensors, etc. were installed at the house. No verification at all. Clearly this would help with their sales, but from the perspective of someone who owns the system; I would not want them to give out details of my security system to anyone.

Originally I had a local electric company take over our security system's sensors - it seems like the sensors are mostly standardized hardware where the sensors just read open or closed to some central hardware box, and the actual monitoring is handled by some third party. Might be worth investigating.It would have been a factor of ~1k more expensive to go with ADT for us.

Wyze is the only company I trust currently. You dont have to use their app you can save it all to an SD card and there are github repos for custom firmware. I currently just use their software.

OR you could take a look at the article you were linked to about various surveys, and see what they had to say about the self-reported motivations of the voters. Might be enlightening.

How have you managed hundreds of conversations with hundreds of different "brexiteers"? Do you have exact figures? Is it part of your job? Is a "brexiteer" the same as someone who voted to leave the EU, or do you mean something more specific?
Well, one doesn't need to be professional to the extend where one can argue Tekla Structures to be worth the cost, if the goal is to design structures for hobby/DIY work.

Depending on the purpose, structural failure might be sufficiently low-risk to not need more than a cursory glance by an engineer to check whether the concept is sufficiently-sane and the stresses the software calculated are no reason to worry.

People today build these structures without software-assisted structural analysis. Or anything, really, beyond rough numbers.

I hope there'd be something that be good enough to not fly blind when working on hobby projects that would benefit massively from clever structural design. Finding someone qualified to look over the finished design is often reasonable, but paying them to do clerical work (e.g. re-drawing your blueprint in their CAD, just to get the computer to calculate stresses), would be too expensive.

I just see that these tools all have license fees where any non-full-time usage is directly prohibitive.

Even if a good tool has e.g. 500$ + 20% royalties (of the sale price), that'd be far better than what I see out there from my searching.
Beyond the privacy concerns I wouldn't want my front door to disable itself because my Google Account was suspended because YouTube's content-identification algorithm picked up a snippet of a song in the background of a video upload.

I am very curious too; I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone claim this. If anything, folks talk about the debt we have to C++ for pioneering a lot of this stuff!
> but it's definitely possible that by not "following conservative media" I overlooked the actually agonizing deliberation that transpired behind the scenes.

This is actually exactly what I'm talking about, not the proceedings themselves. With the exception of the potential wildcard of the Bolton testimony (which never ended up happening) at that point the party had essentially been whipped and it was just theatre.

Here are the names that were discussed incessantly in conservative media: https://www.vox.com/2019/10/14/20908684/senate-republicans-t...

Up until Matt Gaetz did his stunt disrupting the private/secret hearings of House witnesses there wasn't very much fire on the Republican side which was why these close-door pre-impeachment vote hearings happened in the first place. Remember that at certain point there was a pseudo-impeachment process occurring prior to any impeachment vote having taken place. Even convincing Republicans that they needed to fight to get an actual vote on the record was not an simple process.

The Power of Omission: Killing Features for Fun and Profit
You are right on point, it even says in the letter:

"It is in this context that a number of practices, who represent a revenue stream for Autodesk of over
$22m over the last 5 years"

A $22m over 5 years is not a large deal for the large CAD companies such as Dassault, PTC, Siemens, Nemetschek.

Revit as a software package started as Reflex and then acquired by PTC, PTC decided they couldn't make enough money off it, and basically let former employees leave and start Charles River Software with the Reflex code base. The amount of work required to create Revit, It would not be good return on investment for any company other than Autodesk to sell it. The only reason it makes sense for Autodesk is it keeps the AutoCAD DWG monopoly going.

You can build your own LAN system. You just need to plug a camera with a wide lens into a Pi, optionally with a PIR motion sensor. Possibly with some IR illumination for night vision.Have some code which motion triggers the camera (either in software or IR triggered) and upload the data to your own storage. That could be local on a NAS or cloud (a bucket you own).

I suggest this over an IP camera as you might as well be paranoid about those too. If you need live streaming that can be done with open source software fairly easily.

You would have to spend some time working on hardware, and it'd probably cost more, but technically it's just tedious rather than difficult. There are some projects to do this with the Pi camera already. You could even add object detection with ML quite easily, which is something you pay a lot for with other platforms.

What you miss out on is the level of embedded and mechanical integration that the commercial stuff has. Blink has a two year battery life (replaceable), the housings are IP rated etc.
Democracy in India is a rare jewel in a large swathe of non-democratic states in Asia and around the world. That it exists at all, as a democracy, is due to the immense efforts of the British, The Indian National Congress, Mahatma Gandhi and his peers, Nehru and his peers. Indian citizens should be grateful to all of the above groups of people who have given them democracy as it is today. Without them, it would not come to pass.

I've seen so many of these, and I think they should all be very successful but the only time I've seen them work is when they are wrapped in a service/consulting organization.

The reasons for this may be:

1. Even when the coding is free, the problem understanding part is not

2. The amount of work to be done to implement a new process or system is non-trivial, but temporary, so you need temporary help.

3. Probably another 3-5 reasons I haven't thought of.

In any case, it seems you would have to pitch your solution to a consulting firm. If you get one of the top 5, you're golden. However, they might prefer the real expensive enterprisy solutions. You're better of pitching to larger but lightweight organizations.

One way to do that is have training around learning typical client processes, typical solutions, and how to implement them. Or how to recognize issues. (Making this up: look at the balance sheet, if inventory is building up, turnover is low. You want a process to push back the order time and link it to sales.)
I see it the other way around. Code is fluid, data persists. So I would expect more rigor in the design of the schema then anywhere in the code. And hopefully with some fore-sight, you won't have to change it every other day. Migrating the data requires also some reflection.

No amount of work of coding will fix your data, if it is a mountain of inconsistent garbage.
We don't need to chose to address every differential impact, only the ones that we see as being bad, or particularly worthy of attention, for example the systematic exclusion of black people from the normal financial tools that allow us to build wealth.
For the official/default repos, yes.

You can add custom repositories in the fdroid app, as I understand it anyone can host a repo and put whatever they like on it.

At least over here in the UK, ADT seemed to have an acquisition-based near monopoly in home alarm systems and acted every bit like you'd expect, and I wouldn't be surprised if commercial alarm systems were as bad.
These types of home security systems are more a deterrent than they are anything else. In fact, the ONLY reason I think I'd personally invest in would be automated alerts for fire or emergency situations.

If someone wants into your house, they will get into your house. There's giant glass windows in most homes these days and door locks are hardly much more than a speed bump.

All you should look at ADT for is simply making you not the easiest house to get into. But if someone wants into your house, a security system is unlikely to be something that stops them.

Edit: to be more clear, I think the deterrent part is the equivalent of putting an ADT sign in a window or nearby. THAT is the deterrent, not the system itself.

App whitelisting is rarely rolled out, but it's just such a definitive win these days.

a) You just kill ~85% of malware (rough estimate, probably technically higher, but I'm basing that on stats around interpreter-based/LOLBAS malware). Anything that isn't targeted is probably dead in the water.

b) You know exactly what's running on everyone's computers, more or less, so you have a way easier time baselining and building monitoring.

It's honestly easy-mode for security. But it's hard to roll out to a company a decade after it's been running, so you really need to do it early on. And most orgs don't care about security until after a breach, at which point they're too large and slow to get something like that done.
I see. Your sentence structure is a bit confusing and was successful in causing me to parse it as if you were referring to Java, .Net, and JavaScript with pure open source managed runtimes.
> What harm reduction happens when the 'large entities' are the courts[0], municipalities[1] or even hospitals[2]?

Aren't these the entities that you would most want to keep your data secure?

> Alleged better safeguarding of our data* isn't worth it.

> * I suspect that right now companies find it cheaper to pay than to improve their security.

That makes no sense, because if you don't improve your security, you'll be hacked in the same way again. There isn't an upper bound on how much it can cost to not improve your security.
This is really interesting, thanks!

On the other hand Wyze has most of the things security systems need available. They hinted towards much more affordable home security services. I rather just wait till their options available.

I'm not sure a run-of-the-mill burglar would be able to do anything with panel information. Any burglar sophisticated enough to alter their plans based on type of security panel is going to be going after diamonds and art, not a smash and grab for a used television.

Releasing sensor data at all seems like a pretty big flaw, though. Lack of window sensors and number or existence of motion detectors seems like a dataset you wouldn't want getting out without some sort of ID verification (or at all).

I think the estimated threshold of 70% is way too high. That estimate is based on models that were shown to be wrong by empirical data we just observed. I think the herd immunity threshold is rather around 20-30%.

I think coming few months will prove me right: we will see more and more relaxation of lockdowns, without corresponding increase in cases, but only in places where the epidemics have already came on hard. Where it hasn’t been much of a thing, we will see many new cases and deaths, until those too will subside.
I hear this argument a lot from Indians, that Gandhi was loyal to the British and he helped install a pro British government. I don't know what the proposed better alternative is. The British was ruling the country for the better part of 4 centuries by then, and changing it to something else would take years of effort. Combine this with different princely states not wanting to be part of independent India, the economic realities, and the looming threat from China - you have a recipe for a failed state.
I would have preferred India not colonized at all, but there was no better alternative than this for India to become independent from the British.

Armed uprisings were few and far in-between in India. Subash Chandra Bose was the only one that came any close to having a successful army but even if he was more successful than he really was, it wouldn't last long with him aligning with the Axis in WW2.

> Gandhi whether you like it or not was a British citizen.
Except the British never saw it this way. One can argue that if Britain identified all colonial citizens as their own, the Gandhian movement in India would not have gained a lot of traction at all. One of their first demands was equal treatment.
The point is who exactly is racist.

The bank that reads the data or the environment that over the years created the conditions for the data (values) to be so low?

Or maybe the unknown people that compiled (or even forged) the data?

Let's for the sake of discussion bring it to a different form of discrimination (ageism).

Here (EU) in most countries you can have your driving license at 18 years.

When you go to an insurance company and you are younger than 21 or in some cases 25 years you will pay a much higher insurance rate for your car then if you are (say) 40.

Same goes for renting a car, you simply cannot rent one if below 21 or in some cases 25 years.

Now, the bad, bad, insurance and rent a car companies may be populated by bastards, or maybe for some reasons drivers below 21 or 25 years actually have an increased risk of accidents.
