They'll be cheap if sale and distribution is legalized- this just amps up the demand side of the curve.
It is not uncommon for such sites to be resellers of resellers. Such sites often disregard reports unless the activity would be enough for them to lose their uplinks. It's probably best to just block or tarpit all the CIDR blocks in their ASN and move on.
A member of the news media should know better than to complain about the vote tallies flipping overnight. We've known for weeks that it was likely for several states to flip like this because these states were not allowed to count the mail-in ballots as they came in. In the states where it was allowed to count votes early, the vote tally was released last night, in similar speed to his example of Brazil.

What's really dangerous is that the same people who said that mail-in votes couldn't be counted early in states like PA are now saying they shouldn't be counted after election day. It's disenfranchisement, plain and simple.
I'm an open-source dump1090-on-rPi fanboi. This thing works great. I live near a somewhat dangerous river mouth, and dump1090 shows me who the helicopters are when they show up. Coast Guard? TV News?

I use it with a cheezy indoor antenna for my rtl-sde dongle. Plenty of range for what I'm doing.

I can also see the high-altitude airliners going to and from JFK.

If you live in the sticks (I don't) flightAware will provide their rPi / receiver / antenna for free, in return for your data feed. I think they're still trying to get more receivers in places like Labrador and Greenland -- definitely fly-over territory.
I believe several liberal states have passed laws restricting the distribution of information related to firearms, specifically 3D printing designs.

Less state related, but still state tolerated... there have been schools that fire professors for minor speech related issue (the nega nega nega incident for example). Or restrict some political movements/organizations in schools while allowing others to be promoted (look at differences in (in)tolerance of NRA and BLM).

I pay 50 USD a month for 1 Gb/s symmetric internet service run by the city of Longmont, CO. It is great... by far the best internet service I have had. I had comcast in many different cities, Cablevision, AT&T, etc.

Hopefully more cities will consider municipal broadband.
Whereas I saw it the other way round. I parsed that as a comment before I parsed it as a URL.
I'm always slightly dubious of full automated penetration testing tools, particulary ones that state things like

"It is non-intrusive, with no impact on your network." (from https://www.guardicore.com/infectionmonkey/)

Having a quick look at the site some of the modules it can use are brute-force password guessers which could cause account lockouts quite easily, depending on how they're used.

Also in my moderately long experience of pentesting (~15 years) even quite innocuous seeming actions can negatively impact systems under review (I've knocked over whole networks with standard port scanning, taken out a website with a ' character in a login box, seen another website taken out by being spidered etc)

This isn't to knock this tool in particular, just expressing a general wariness of tooling which claims to be able to fully automate a process and do so with zero risk.

"Natural self-regulation" - that's a nice euphemism for mass starvation. Pity wars tend to cause a spike in population growth.
"Other developed countries have..."

I suspect they have a way to mandate how local governments handle the voting. The US does not. That's the barrier.
Its even more childish to do this before final results are even known. Let's wait until votes have been completely counted and then discuss the matter.
serious question, why would you want to continue banking at a place that does this?
I enjoy both and I'm not embarrassed. Where else can I get my "Below Deck" news and "Schitt's Creek" memes?
And assuming the OP meant an inkjet printer, they'll probably go through 4 whole sets of cartridges to print 300 photos.

And they'll need to "realign the heads" and "clean the nozzles" at least 17 times, which will consume hours of your time, paper, and probably another whole set of cartridges too.

I battled with Epson and HP inkjets for years - I haven't looked back since I bought a small black and white Brother laser a couple of years back. No more wasting time, no more new cartridges every 5 pages - you just hit print and it prints.

So criminalize alcohol abuse as well. Not jail-criminalize it, that's too expensive for taxpayers. But I sure would love if the streets are clear of drunk, violent people fighting. Impose curfews and cameras in their homes.
Computer scientist's love declaration (song) (2013)
Yes I am aware, did my comment suggest otherwise?
No, it cannot - the stationary camera will always be somewhere at the ceiling, which means that it physically can not see the lower levels of a rack.
This is a mischaracterization of an entire group of people based on the actions of a few. Even the NRA has pushed for protections that would benefit groups who may be discriminated against, such as promoting shall-issue or constitutional carry.
I think it's safe to assume that overall drug use won't go down under this policy, so while their rate may go down due to increased labor pool, earnings may still go up. Especially with pandemic fears still out there.

I think the big impact will be sales through acquaintance/friend networks though, this will make it much easier to support an addiction through small sales.

There'll be more money flowing to the traffickers so they're not going anywhere.
I'm very curious to know if the US layout avoids the problem with squished keys around the return key on the UK layout...

There is plenty of unfilled demand for the trades, so I’m skeptical that there is a large pool of labor willing to work those kinds of jobs.

Well, and that it is often is same-day, when the results play out enough to make an electoral prediction with high accuracy. That was the case for many years.
The ballot questions were what really motivated me to show up to the polls. I predicted that RtR would pass. I expected Ranked Choice voting to be close and probably not pass. Still, I am disappointed MA residents didn't choose to use ranked choice voting.

As a European living in the US I think it’s time for Europe to stop looking at the US and start leading. If you are worried about climate change, there is plenty of stuff that can be done in Europe without the US. Europe could also take a strong lead in developing green technologies.

Stop worrying about the US and stand on your own feet!
I'm not sure I'd call this "backfiring," as I'm sure that the RIAA must have seen this coming (they have been the Snidely Whiplash of the tech industry for a couple of decades). This kind of reaction is not exactly anything new; just the medium.

I think that pirating streams actually helps to sell music. At least, in my limited sample pool, that has been the case.

I used to stream an Internet radio station that played Industrial (dating myself -no one else will), and would often grab songs from it.

A lot of times, the only reason that I grabbed it, was so that I could find out more about it. The quality of the audio grab wasn't really what I wanted as a "keeper."

These pretty obscure groups made a lot of sales (to me) because they had their stuff out there.
I agree the language is a bit childish but it is quite remarkable how -- for two elections in a row now -- we've seen these models get so much so wrong. Almost everyone was predicting a landslide for Biden and it's dead heat right now.

It seems that there's something wrong with the polls themselves, how the models interpret the polls, or both.

There's lots of talk about "stealing the election" coming from both sides. Lopsided predictions from polls and models can increase the perception that the election was "stolen" if the vote defies the predictions.
Also in those developed countries without minimum wage, they have national healthcare. So a poor comparison in my opinion.
I’m left handed but finding good mice and fighting the bindings is just tiresome.

So I’m usually right handed, although I still move it around from time to time.
Quadcopters are equivalent to helicopters in terms of performance. VTOL-planes fly as a plane, they do not have hovering endurance, barely a few minutes at the most, just for take off and landing. So they cannot perform missions that require hovering capabilities. A hybrid multicopter has the advantage of longer-endurance, traditionally exclusive of planes, while still keeping all the advantages in simplicity, ease of use and versatility of multicopters.
It's a law against questioning the absolute rule of the Chinese Communist Party in Hong Kong. It has nothing to do with extradition
I think you missed most of my point. Which "members" are you talking about? States have multiple interest groups on every issue.
I think you need to add "among people with sufficient levels of vitamin D" to that statement.

It follows almost from definition that if you are deficient in something, supplementing that something is beneficial. There might be some exceptions, but then we've really just got deficient defined poorly or no effective method of supplementation.
I don't think this changes much for addicts directly. Just because possession is legal doesn't mean public intoxication or driving under the influence laws are void. The law will still have a way to deal with the worst offenders, without ruining the life of some college-age party-goer.

I agree there are great secondary effects of having more drugs available, and hope Oregon invests the necessary resources to curb illegal distribution of drugs.

Here's one comment:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24704986

The writer claims the decriminalization was forced by a heroin epidemic, and it coincided with an economic downturn. So, my statement that it caused areas with drug use to decline is most likely false, as the decline is better attributed to the economic downturn.
People in the US are disproportionately uneducated on how the rest of the world operates. And any idea left of hunting people for sport [1] is dismissed with ultimate disdain.

The US is overwhelmingly "why should I pay for some lazy slacker with my hard earned money". And this is especially prevalent among the lower income people.

True for all except gay marriage. It was an exception in being popular when legalised.

Why can’t you hire non-union labor? Is it unavailable?
I had a Canon PIXMA around 5 years ago (I forget the exact model number), and it wasn't great. It could print decent photos, though I'd say ones from a professional print shop were still obviously superior. But it had all the usual inkjet problems - eating copious amounts of ink and needing constant maintenance.
In my jurisdiction, we had an additional question asking if the state representative should support legislation that treats police officers murdering unarmed and restrained citizens as first degree murder.

The result in my town was an emphatic "yes".
If you write your code in such a way where business logic and database access are separated you won't have to mock out the database. Business logic is where the Good Stuff is. We can trust that the database access package is working because we probably didn't write it and it probably has it's own set of tests.
Its part responsibility, part love. You do it because it is the most rewarding thing you will ever do.

Is he complaining about the vote counting or the prediction modeling? This piece vacillates between the two without really being clear that these are two completely separate things.

Cool, I didn't know they made something specific like that.
It's a health issue, not a criminal issue. Drug laws cause more crime -- by design.
If you're solving for trust (the point of blockchains), that would mean you don't trust the AP (Associated Press). They're the gold standard for election reporting, and trusted, so no.

Ethereum is simply acting as a complicated API for AP election data in this use case.

Do you mean Metallica? South Park did an episode about how ridiculous their arguments against Napster were[1]. I don't remember Nirvana weighing in on the RIAA's side (incidentally, Nirvana disbanded in 1994 after the death of Kurt Cobain; Napster was founded in 1999).

Thousands of people have had their lives ruined by being incarcerated for possession of cannabis. Hundreds of thousands maybe. Most of them weren't addicts, or committing other crimes, they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time with a bag of weed in their pockets or whatever.

It's good that your family member finally had success fighting their addiction, but at what price?
What's the story? That Hunter Biden smoked crack and got a footjob? The NYT, WaPo, and Wall Street Journal all reported on the supposed connections in the emails tying Joe into this and all came up with little to no evidence of any wrongdoing, fraud, or conspiracy. Glenn's (former) editor points this out to him and then Glenn cites the Daily Caller, which is hardly a reputable source.
Making developers afraid to work on youtube-dl is a much more powerful move than taking down a few songs that were already available for free on YouTube.
If you knew anything about accounting you would understand that what you’re saying is preposterous. Hiding by allocating their losses to the technology department? If you have proof of this please bring it up because what you’re saying is blatantly illegal and the CEO, CFO etc will all be liable. Otherwise if you’re just speculating then say so.

As to GAAP you don’t understand what that term is because that’s more about having a standard way of representing numbers but GAAP numbers don’t show the true numbers because of many different accounting rules like accounting for employee stock, which does not hit cash flow.

Correct me if I'm wrong, decriminalization just means you won't be charged with a crime if you are in possession of drugs, but you will still be charged with stealing if you steal. Stealing for the purpose of buying drugs does not get a free pass under drug decriminalization afaik.
How do you actually run compute modules (I assume that's your 'CM' abbreviation above)? Do you need a custom "rack" or something? If so, where do you get them?
Even if tech has bigger issues, I would still like to see the certified election board results from each district posted to the blockchain. It would be a nice parallel way for the general public to get the actually results.
> Creating more jobs for people to opt-in to only helps them.

Except if the only jobs available are awful and don't actually pay enough to have a decent standard of living. You seem to be assuming that more available jobs of any kind = better for workers over time, but a quick review of the US labor market over the last 30 years shows this isn't really the case at all. I'm also not sure why you're bringing Japan into this discussion - its economic, demographic, and societal conditions are so different from the US that it doesn't make much sense to use it as a comparison.
I see lots of recommendations for brother laser printers here.

One word of warning: Avoid their inkjets. I had one with permanent heads. Less than 100 sheets in, it jammed (this ream was fine with the printer before and after it).

It failed to put the head back on top of the seal that keeps it from drying out. I didn’t notice the jam, and a few days later it was permanently ruined.

I do recommend the brother ADS line (standalone USB document scanners), with the caveat that the Linux drivers on my old one are x86-only.

Inkjets suck. Don’t even think about it. Dye sublimation is (was?) nice.

We have a Samsung laser, which is great, except there’s a “disable the wifi until you plug me into ethernet” button labeled WPS on the top that the cats like to press.

Also their printer business was acquired by HP, so it’s only a matter of time until HP manages to somehow remote brick it or stop selling consumables.

How would a summary offense with a punishment of education on rehab options create more crime?

How is it necessarily a health issue? Not all drug users are addicts.

Edit: And perhaps the most obvious support for it being a criminal issue is that the first time someone does the drug it would only be a criminal issue and could not be a health issue since they had no prior exposure to become addicted.
Right? Sounds like they did him a favor. I had to jump through all kinds of loops to close my Chase account
Well, that's partly by design on their part. The RIAA exists to take heat off the record labels while carrying out their enforcement actions.
I agree with the general sentiment of that, however the nuanced reality is far more complex than that. For many people the only treatment that actually worked is precisely prison. The reality of the rehabilitation industry across the board is not exactly a shining example of success, while prison does seem to show significant advantages. The question we have to ask ourselves these is essentially this one; what is better, someone that goes to prison for 5 years and gets treatment and comes out with a higher likelihood of recovery, or someone that spends 5 years in and out of treatment and living in drug addiction misery of exploitation and abuse and with a notably lower likelihood of permanent recovery?

Of the two examples the former is obviously better, even though a third, hybrid option that no one talks about is likely the best; a kind of reform complex/community akin to boot camp of the past broken people are broken down and rebuilt into new, functioning adults. For anyone who knows anything about the military, especially of the past, will know that in treatment of people, the bootcamp model is the very best option. It builds character, it shatters bad habits and compulsions, it builds support structures and deep bonds, it creates a pathway to hope, success, and achievement, it uses sticks and carrots to set people on a graduated path. It's literally everything that drug addicts need if one actually cares about them getting the devil off their back, and is not just interested in trying to feel good about themselves.
Microsoft is playing a different game than YouTube/Google.

Microsoft bought Github for 7.5 billion dollars. Github is a website wrapping a git-server; you know Microsoft could have built their own for a lot less money. The didn't buy the technology, they bought a network, its data and a brand. They are trying to improve their reputation with the open source community. It's really hard to measure such a thing, but this RIAA take down reduced developer trust. If Microsoft chose to fight a legal battle, win or lose they would win on their branding front. They would signal that they are defending open source.
