> In Brave New World, it's only a meritocracy because they've engineered human embryos to produce the different castes. In the novel, they deliberately induce fetal alcohol syndrome to stunt the intelligence of the lower classes.

They also forgoed a lot of automation and engineered society to make use of the stunted lower classes. I recall a scene where they had elevator operators, even though automatic elevators had been invented when the book was written.

> The modern reformulation would be genetic engineering or at least genetic screening. I'm sure we're not that far away from the wealthy classes testing their embryos and only implanting the ones that have the highest intelligence, least propensity for disease, etc.

That's literally the backstory of the movie Gattica. Though I think the genetic engineering in that movie controlled recombination, so engineered children got all the best genes of their parents. IIRC, people who weren't engineered (like us) lived in slums and were only given menial jobs regardless of talent.
I would argue that parents are better placed to train their kids in these non academic domains. It also gets around the state dictating the moral values taught to children. Each family gets to choose for themselves.

Then when Biden said he wants to take Trump behind the bleachers and knock him out, we should construe that as a threat of violence against the President,right? It can only mean that he really intends to physically assault Trump.

People never, ever use hyperbole for effect and only speak 100% literally.
At a minimum, Google's counsel testified under penalty of perjury in this takedown letter that they took Fair Use into consideration, so there must be at least some application here. (And if there isn't, that sure is a strange sentence to have in the letter - almost as if they are misusing this takedown letter template after all!)

Fair Use is about using copyrighted content, which is widely shackled behind DRM. Any court can easily see that in order to exercise your right to use that content in a Fair Use sort of way, you must break the DRM. Therefore, the existence and availability of DRM-breaking tools is a necessary condition for Fair Use to be exercised at all in conjunction with the modern media landscape.
They also have way more business model exclusions and more onerous terms than Stripe.
Is the nytimes calling for Stephen miller’s head on a pike here? Do you truly believe that? Or is this a bad faith example? Do you think I’m also arguing Twitter should also remove all tweets that reference what Bannon has said?
Am I the only one who finds it laughable to consider trusting the word of companies the likes of Delta, Southwest, and US Air? They seem fundamentally incompetent in pretty much every other aspect of anything that doesn't involve literally keeping the plane from crashing. Why would I believe the air filtration systems are even going to be operational, say nothing about effective when they are?

Another possible factor is that US elections generally see far more races on the ballot. In my ballot this year, I had to vote for US President, US House, US Senate, State House, State Senate, Councillor, Register of Probate, and three referendums. That's actually a pretty light ballot; in the past, I've also had to vote for races such as County Auditor, Recorder of Deeds, County Clerk, Soil & Water Conservation District Commissioner.

It obviously takes far longer to count ballots by hand when you're dealing with a dozen races instead of one or two.
That is 4 years old, is it still relevant?
Yeah, I live in a small town in the far northwest of the country. Nearest true freeway is either 100 miles or a ferry ride away. A surprising number people in town drive things like this.

> Isn't the actual problem the abusive relationship and that pressure to vote a certain way a symptom? The solution isn't to ban no mail in ballots for those that want to vote that way, but to offer assistance to empower people to get out of that situation.

If a voting system requires zero abusive power dynamics to work, it’s a bad system.

Also, banning mail-in ballots isn’t the only solution. Early voting is an alternative to mailed ballots. Letting someone re-vote a mailed-in ballot at a poll site is a fix to the cited problem, though it introduces complexity.
I'd just like to take a second to appreciate the irony/oxymoron of there being weaker "secure" enclaves

"I haven't seen anything controversial in the news"

It's literally on every page of the news.

The Trump campaign is trying to discredit the results of the election by any means possible.

The issue of 'electronic voting' is only a concern were there to be an election among regular people, interested in determining the actual truth.

It's much worse when people in positions of power just make up the truth 'because they can'.

Whatever Trump says, evidence or not, maybe 20% of the US population will believe.

If he Tweets it, it's 'true'.

This is why we're really concerned about information propagation - now the vast majority of people will 'believe' what's on the news because it's the job of journos to determine the truth - we don't have time as individuals to hunt down every little irregularity. That's why integrity in the media system is really important.

Social Media has no institutional integrity whatsoever - and there's absolutely no amount of 'evidence' that will convince certain people against what their 'Dear Leader' said.

Any random person can start a meme, and that meme becomes 'truth'.

'The Stolen Election' meme is a populist ploy, not one based on any real evidence of systematic problems, it's a fabricated narrative.

'Both sides' are guilty of a lot of bad narrative-making but this one is particularly pernicious.
Why would your employer pay you to build and test ARM images when the server they're running on is AMD64? Okay, let's be realistic: they'll probably never find out. But still this is wasted effort when you could just as well use a regular x86 machine for development. Cross compilation will lead to many small problems that add up over time...

Give it time.
Why not? Larger countries have more places voting happens and more people counting. It parallelizes almost perfectly. Slow counting is almost entirely down to resource allocation.
All of the above seems like the best solution
Sine I get flagged when I post anything contrary or questioning the narrative of this story that this was the most secure election... I might as well post a better story.

"The Dear Leader Kim Jong-Il was born inside of a log cabin beneath Korea’s most sacred mountain, where upon the moment he came into this world, a shooting star brought forth a spontaneous change from winter to summer, and for the icing on the birthday cake: a double rainbow."

Oh, well. Apple is one of the worst lock-in minded companies with draconian policies. I'm surprised anyone expects anything else from them.

If you worry about having a computer that's yours, macOS should be the last thing to consider running on it. Starting with Linux could help.
That doesn't work at the latitudes some of us live at.

>My point here is that people on one end of the political spectrum are given the benefit of the doubt

By your own example this isn’t true. Kathy was suspended from Twitter for what she did. Most targeted calls for violence lands you a suspension on Twitter.

The reason you feel like one side is given the benefit of the doubt isn’t rooted in reality, at least on Twitter - it’s just far more likely for the other side of the political spectrum to whip up a media frenzy about free speech. And your point about one side being more likely to carry acts of violence out also seems ignorant of what’s happening today. There is only one political leaning that has resulted in people showing up armed to pizza places or trying to kidnap a governor.

It’s difficult to understand why you bend over so hard to make excuses for Bannon, when the guy who he was “joking” about has had to literally hire bodyguards for much of the past year.
SelfDDOS. The first ever.
Check Thinkpad screens carefully as a lot of the new amd ones come with terrible 'business class' screens that I don't want to use as a developer, let alone as a designer .. and a repairman told me they are glued on these days so you can no longer swap them as you used to be able to.
I have the same problem. Luckily working from home means I don't have to touch my laptop any more and I can instead use the rx580 in my desktop, haven't really had any graphics problems with the AMD open source drivers.
I’d suggest using a Mac until it doesn’t actually work. Then you can find a new computer to compromise with.
I agree. Was just responding to OP saying “mail-in ballots are secret ballots.” They are not. To return to our status quo of secret ballots, a mail-in ballot system needs additional thought.
I would like to get a thinkpad, but I'm not sure Lenovo can be trusted any more than Apple can, especially since Apple atleast pretends to care about customer security.

I was looking into various differences among demographics which use and prefer apple products. Nobody rated any of the problems often thrown in here as a priority.

Majority of iPhone users are women and HN/reddit are primarily men dominated. It should be no surprise that apple caters to aesthetics over thermals and you see people complaining about that on these platforms.

Apple customers put status and prestige when deciding to purchase something above cost. They are rich. They care about environment that's why apple "care" about environment. They care about privacy which is why apple "care" about privacy.

So for them, it's reasonable to change the device than allow it to be repaired at some shady shop. It's consistent with their image. They can't compromise on privacy or safety because that's why they bought into apple ecosystem.

Sometimes they end up passing the pain on to the law abiding driver: https://twitter.com/greentheonly/status/1326755485610020864 .
iMessage is not a security or privacy-first messaging app. It is a fun and usable messaging app with decent efforts towards privacy and no user tracking. The only messaging app that goes all the way with privacy is Signal, which I use for most of my communication. But Apple is focused on the user experience, and there are some fundamental trade offs with user experience that are not necessary for most users. Most users are never going to be subpoenaed by the police.
No - only the session keys for those messages need to be backed up for that.
Catalina's okay. I have a work Mac that came with it and it only kernel panics about once a week. Which is pretty good for Apple these days.

I still have a bunch of Macs at home running El Capitan and Sierra because they work and because I don't have two weeks to screw around moving each one over to Catalina. When they die I'll probably just move the whole house over to Linux because Apple has so completely lost the plot on what personal computing means.
Even though I love using Google services, account being blocked and losing access to everything from domains to personal photos and all important docs in drive is a concern that is haunting me since seeing an uptick in these stories. Maybe it is that I am observing them more but in any case reducing Google dependence and having a strategy for account block scenario has become a need due to the large impact it would have on my life in the current scenario.
I really wish google takeout had an API to request takeouts at weekly or whatever works, instead of the bimonthly (once in 2 months) option currently offered. Then one could keep data in Google services and not have serious concerns as at most the loss would be of a week's worth of data. Also on this note- does anyone have any recommendations for domain registrars? I cannot continue to have my domains on Google even though it has a great UX.
The issue with forking is that you take on a lot more responsibility than you did by submitting a PR.

Many of the people submitting PRs probably already contribute to projects that depend on Cairo. They may even maintain those projects. They may not have spare bandwidth to take on the maintenance of Cairo too.

Snap died when Instagram stories became a thing. TikTok is pretty huge, but depending on what the next administration does to it, that should dictate its future.
Then Google’s ranking algo must be pretty bad because all I have is a first page full of bullshit Advertorial articles when I’m looking for serious stuff.

That has nothing to do with 'security' it has to do with electoral policy changes.

I would argue it would be more helpful if the rules were established in every state by a completely non-partisan entity and that they couldn't be changed arbitrarily.
This is some massive bulls * * t propaganda piece if I ever saw one. The drones and their tactics are not Azerbaijani but Turkish. In fact, it is Turkey's military genius that

* bloodied Assad's nose (and other parts) in Idlib, Syria despite Russians' local `air superiority` and upended decades of accepted 'truths' about air defense and ECM (electronic counter measures aka jamming)

* mostly reverted the course of Libyan civil war

* decisively won the Karabakh war

For an outsider observer, the Turks have definitely won the 2020 Nobel Prize for military innovation.
It does seem likely that gates was misunderstood.

“Alternately, if Apple, via software changes, has caused the plaintext message content to be relayed back to Apple post-decryption, it is no longer end-to-end encrypted, as the service in the middle is no longer zero-knowledge, and has come into possession of the plaintext.”

This happened to me too! What the hell.
You either have a machine tallying the votes that works 100% of the time during the election. Otherwise, everyone can reasonably question the results from a machine that works 99% of the time.
My dad had a VW camper bus with a top speed of 65. It took a while to get there. I learned to drive with it.

It was quite a challenge to pass other cars on a 2 lane blacktop. The trick was to back off about a quarter mile, then floor it. By the time you reached the passee, you hit 65 and could swerve into the left lane then back again.

If you were unfortunate enough to get an oncoming car in the meantime, you stomped on the brake, slid back the quarter mile, and tried again.

The bus was also highly susceptible to crosswinds. Going in and out of cuts in a crosswind could blow you into the other lane. Had to anticipate that with the steering wheel.

Eventually my dad decided to sell it, and I took care of that for him. He asked me if I missed the bus, and I said no, I thought it was a minor miracle we never died in a crash in it. I understand the nostalgia for those cars, but they belong in a museum, not on the road.
Reason why I use Firefox is multiplatform support. On daily bases I use OS X, Windows, Linux, and iOS. It is nice to have browser history synced and being able to pull open tabs from one machine to another.
Reminds me of the 'ipmitool' project. https://github.com/ipmitool/ipmitool

No release for a few years now. So a lot of bugs in the last release.

Theoretically there is a maintainer but they haven't done any releases. Some bug fixes have been merged into the git repository, but most distros seem to use the last release.
There is nothing wrong with running model in any way a researcher wish. It would be wrong to make predictions about a real system, without studying validity of that prediction.

Authors clearly state "an earth system model shows ..." not the "Earth is going to melt". They say "we encourage other model builders to explore our discovery in their (bigger) models, and report on their findings."

Authors work with their model, use it to calculate some results, they do not pretend, that the results are the Truth. Authors know what validity is, they ask others to take a look at it.

Nothing wrong with it.

I disagree with that, user experience in Linux is and in foreseeable future will be the most flexible of all and hence allows users to make it look exactly the way they like.

For comparison I would say Linux is like bootstrap that you can customize to make it look the way you want. iOS is like a paid theme you have bought over Themeforest with near to zero flexibility.

If you want a predefined good looking desktop, you can look at Manjaro ( that I am currently using and am pretty happy , my decent 16gb RAM with SSD system boots faster than my Macbook Pro 2019 and opens applications faster on cold boot as compared to Mac )
PSA to developers: Notarization alone won't be sufficient. You'll need to staple that notarization ticket as well so that your users' Macs doesn't need to go online to validate whether your app has been tampered (among other things).

Why call linux a bad user experience when you are depressed at the state of what you can do on mac/windows?

Each China, and India has more people, and potentially more troop, than USA, and Russia combined.

As I wrote before, the next third power in any massive war has an extreme incentive to stay neutral, to take the lead, or may well be land, after.

You think that Xi, and Modi will stay still at the opportunity to do the biggest land grab in history?

The company behind Invisalign had a blast the last quarter which they attributed to the people doing more Zoom these days. So, it seems it is still about appearances - now it is about whatever appears in the Zoom window. (not a comment on your teeth either way, it is just that Zoom-ing reminded me that my teeth aren't the best around - somehow it looks worse on the computer screen than in the mirror :)
The problem is that the well is completely poisoned. There are some interesting claims, and some ridiculous ones, and nobody has time to develop an informed opinion on all of them so you just find a few examples which support your priors.
