Anthropologizing (my neologism) the poor of your own country is an elitist move. Even the upper-middles have some contact with lower-middles. The title makes it sound like he’s donning a pith helmet and diving deep in the dark heart of Essex.

The article goes nowhere. There are no concrete recommendations and few if any citations from the (not surprisingly) very large body of existing research on the topic.

He did note he briefly worked in an Amazon warehouse. Give the man an OBE...

It's my understanding that in that type of system, one of the two houses passes laws while the other represents the general population.

In the US, laws are initiated in the House. If they pass the vote, they go to the Senate which must also vote to pass them. Finally, the President signs them into action or vetoes (which can be overridden by a 2/3 majority).

The Shay's Rebellion had a huge influence on the government design. The majority (all the farmers) agreed that they could vote to force the minority (the banks) to forgive their debts. Several of the earlier Federalist papers go over the many, many democracies that failed (usually for this very reason).

Voters actually elect people as state electors. Those electors come together to cast the actual vote for the president (with backups in case of election issues as this election is likely to require). The minimum number of electors gives slightly disproportionate power to less-populated states. Quite literally, the Constitution gives louder voices to minority areas.

We see this same idea in the Senate. States are equal members of the union no matter if they are large or small and the Senate gives them this power. Even the largest states (population-wise) can't just force through legislation to their exclusive benefit.

What about them?

Presumably you’re thinking of Florida in 2000, where the margin of victory was 0.0092%, and thus exceptional care in counting was merited. As far as I can recall other national elections have been timely in the last 20 years.
Why? Because they seem like logos to me. I feel it's pretty funny that you think they're not logos. Mitsubishi etc might disagree with you.

I like that link. I think that was original inspiration for me, added to how many logos are abstract and geometric. When MML originally came out with new logo I really liked the idea of a logo that can sort of evolve or be dynamic and not be a single static image. It seemed to fit well with a software company you know because software is on the move. plus I thought it's an easy way to create like a family of branded assets both conceptually because they're all you know from the same concept or base like, 3 way symmetric, procedurally generated, as well as visually. as I knew I'd be building lots of different products I thought it was an easy way to have a family of logos sharing the same brand identity.

But I actually haven't felt the need to use any of them so far because the overall looking feel doesn't really match with the way I feel about it right now. But I still think it's interesting that's why I posted it.

People can use the code and logos however they like.
>and for Netflix [...], that resolution is 1080p.

Do you have a source for that? This page[1] says Firefox and Chrome on Windows, Linux, and Mac only go up to 720p. Chrome on ChromeOs goes up to 1080p, is that still L3?

That doesn't make any sense. Not only is it not any harder to get it from some website than from your friend, the way people get it from their friend is by sharing the original disc or their Netflix password, which the DRM doesn't prevent in any way.
Straw man. Anyone who actually studies this for a living is well aware that nuclear war is very unlikely to lead to full extinction. But the popular impression is that nuclear war could lead to everybody dying. Partly this is because if you are Joe Average, the difference between everyone dying and you and all your friends and family dying is not very important.

I can't speak to this particular situation but it's worth noting that last-minute-just-before-polling-begins updates are the norm and happen pretty much every election.

In/around my hometown, for example, the voting machines are "securely" stored in between elections, until just before an election, when they get 'em out to set them up, test them, etc.

Whether they installed updates an hour before an electiion or two weeks before an election, it can still be made to sound "fishy" by anyone who wants it to.

"Why were they installing a so-called 'update' an hour before the polls open?" versus "Why were they installing so-called 'updates' on the voting machines two weeks before the election?"

Obviously, they were installing hacked firmware in either case, right?
In most elections, the election results are clear by the time I go to bed normally.

Largely depends on what kind of software developer you are. Not all developers rely on x86.

Our app is React/ Typescript and we don't use Docker/ x86 virtualization at all. I do need MySQL and a few other tools, but I don't expect they will be long coming (or maybe already running in Homebrew is there Homebrew ARM?)

If you make your living writing Mac or iOS software, this is a gift. Might be worth waiting for the next generation with more RAM and even beefier CPUs, but otherwise this is ideal.
They're not secret at all. They can be canvassed and frequently are, by pushers who pressure people to vote a particular way.

Mobile phones have had a decade of phenomenal growth and development.

Now people are at home again, and not quite so mobile. Commensurately, we are seeing a breath of life into a laptop/desktop market segment that, with few exceptions, has been marching to a steady drumbeat for at least the past six years.

Yes, because they're going to install chargers where parking meters never existed. As if.

It's cute trolling when you are 17, not so much as an adult. It's up to you where you are in your life.

Clearly people say things like a "head on a pike" or "rape and pillage" in regular speech. "Head on a pike" is a well know idiom.

They are clearly different to saying "I want to behead someone", "I want to rape someone"

They changed the quote from a well know idiom. There was no need to change the quote.

My point was clear.
Gold bars under the mattress
It's a joke to believe these systems are secure at all. We saw with Stuxnet how air gapped nuclear reactors could be hacked with USB drives. It's patently absurd. Even if you do test the equipment, there could be sleeper code that only runs on election day. It's absolutely nuts that we trust anything other than ink and paper with a fingerprint and signature.
Can concur. Been exclusively on Safari ~6 months and I’ve gotten so used to it now that I feel crippled whenever I’m forced to use anything else.

A few more good things

- Credit/Debit Card store

- I browse on iPhone as well as Mac. They tabs are visible on both devices, including book marks etc

- The killer reader mode

- Reading List: it’s replaced Pocket app for me.

I think some of these aren’t new in the browser world but it’s just nice when I could use them without being hounded by a few thousand trackers.
It is a valid DMCA notice, but not for that reason. The repo contained Google copyrighted code.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. I started trying to skim it and couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on. Granted, I didn’t give it a strong chance, but the title made it seem like something very different than what it is. I think.
Wow, that’s astonishingly cheap. What’s wrong with these? How is the range? Can they drive at highway speeds?
We should all have the problem of fearing that we've been coasting on our ridiculous good looks. :) But seriously, as I think you meant your comments...

Videoconferencing seems to encumber both communication and charisma in some ways -- big and small, apparent and subtle.

For example, it seems like even slight latency or difficulty hearing people can make a very smooth interaction seem non-smooth.

And (as was exceedingly painful to me in a recent team meeting), none of the tools currently available would've come close to having a real-world whiteboard. There have been CSCW research efforts at this for a few decades, but, in practice, at the moment, it's usually just a dumb camera&mic, and sometimes screen-sharing.

Maybe, in getting an impression of a person, people haven't yet re-calibrated expectations for the videoconferencing media we're currently stuck with?

And maybe there's still some charisma projection adjustments that individual people can try tweaking, if they want, such with lighting, eye contact, lens distortion, etc.? (As someone who once dabbled in studio portraiture, I'm aware of some ways I could look better on videoconf, but it's been a relatively low priority, compared to countless other aspects of startup tech work.)
We started a new project at work, and one of the decisions was "No EF", altho we've pulled in some not so nice looking queries (mixed casing / indentation), the performance has been much better, and we can copy the query into management studio and check / optimize it. It's working out well. Part of the code reviews is asking how queries perform.
Widevine L1 does in fact watermark the decrypted bitstream. I don't think it's still true today, but there was a period last year where releasing decrypted L1 content without re-encoding meant sacrificing an NVIDIA Shield. The Shield was the only L1 capable player which had a known weakness and Widevine would revoke the device key based on the watermark in the bitstream.

Nowadays the piracy groups seem to have found a way around this. Presumably they found a way to strip the watermark, but we can only speculate as the groups guard their methods closely for obvious reasons.
Is that considered decryption? Wouldn't that both decrypt and decompress? What if someone wants the original compressed stream so the video doesn't need to be re-compressed?
> Any chance of bigger touch targets on mobile already? ;-P

For the front page? Do you have a layout in mind that works better than simply zooming in?
Excellent, thanks. Hadn't heard of this decryptor project before, now I can take a look through it to see how it works. :)

Pity they don't seem to have `git clone` support, and only allow downloading a tarball. Anyway, that's still a lot better than nothing. :)
The 10,000 ballots are, as the excerpt specifically says, a different set than those that have been invalidated that Trump is trying to get invalidated by the US Supreme Court, having already had that bid rejected in lower courts.

So, yes, the article mentions “10,000 ballots”, but not as having been pulled from counting by the judge in the case that has been decided that it was reporting on.
I don't think there is, sadly. Time to write one, I suppose. I'll pay $1.99 for one if you build it

They're installed for entirely different reasons, so I'm not sure why you'd use the nonexistence of one to argue they wouldn't install the other.
What about the ryzen CPUs with integrated graphics? I've been using an old A8 APU and it's decent.

Ah, the days of roadside attractions.

Northern California once had The Nut Tree, in Vacaville. This was a roadside restaurant between SF and Sacramento, one so huge it had two exits on I-80, an airport, and a narrow gauge railroad. Operated 1921-1996. Now a mall.
Gee thanks. I feel pretty bad for you that you didn't have a good experience of this, but aesthetics aren't something that generalizes. Plus you've got another group you like with the colorful ones, so that's good for you overall.
It's hacking the body!
I always read "we got pwn3d" disclosures this way. For example, it's common to read something like "we have found no evidence that the hacked data has been (ab)used ...".

Cynical me just assumes they decided to leave out the rest of the sentence, "... because we didn't actually go looking for any such evidence", therefore they can ("honestly") "plead ignorance".

How is one supposed to exercise their right to Fair Use without "bypassing" technological measures via tools like these? I think there is solid legal DMCA ground for them to remain hosted in the US, without even needing to reach for the whole "freedom of speech" thing.

I won't even get into how I think GitHub is being overly courteous to media companies by extending takedown ability for alleged Section 1201 violations. I'm firmly convinced the only remedy the DMCA offers for that is via the courts, and that the takedown process explicitly requires the identification of infringing material, not circumvention tools.

I always found that more frightening than total extinction. I can't imagine all humans blinking out in a few hours. I can imagine having no food or money, trying to work dangerous odd jobs here and there and starving to death along with 30% of my town during a winter famine a few years later.
I find it goes the other way. I pirate things when legal services become too cumbersome, unethical, or dirty. DRM often does that. I won't avoid all DRM, but there's a threshold. The RIAA crossed with youtube-dl.

When I was in college, price was an issue, and piracy was there to save the $10/month for most students, but the alternative was not having the music/software/etc., rather than a legal sale. The actual financial loss was close to zero. I think the reason for DRM isn't so much to prevent profit-losing piracy, as control.

Movie and record companies want to differentiate pricing by market. They want records of who watch what and where. They want to be able to expire things, explicitly or implicitly (if I go Android<->Apple, my iTunes/Google Play collections become less helpful). That has business value.

As for paying customers, when I was a student, they could have milked me for $5. As a professional, I don't really care what it costs, and I don't want to bother with piracy, and I'll do whatever's most ethical. The RIAA just told me what's most ethical is not listening to new music, followed by pirating music, followed by buying music.

I got enough music.
Denuvo actually didn't promise that it won't be cracked forever. It promise the consumer it won't be cracked in N day after the release. Primary purpose is to stop the day 1 pirate from hurting the selling count hard.

The movie industry doesn't seems like use it in the same way.

It's kind of silly that normal user was prevented from watch the video normally while pirates do whatever they want becuase the 4k hdmi hdcp can be easily removed by just a dongle.

It is absolutely absurd and dishonest to run a computerized climate model 480 years out into the future. These models are not that good and not that accurate. We can't even predict weather very well beyond 2 weeks.

The climate is subject to chaos theory.

Chaos: When the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future.

Uncertainty is an exponential function of time in chaotic, non-linear dynamic systems like the climate. The year 2500 could just as easily be a deep glacial period.

Yeah, my mouse pointer was freezing for 90 seconds (and was jumpy at random times otherwise). If all of that was simply due to something being unable to phone home, then I think we have well surpassed any “benefits” of this “security” architecture.

Since 1997 to be exact. WinCE ran on arm since time immemorial.
Touch screen systems were encouraged by the "Help America Vote Act", which was supposed to make voting easier for disabled people while making it less reliable for everyone else.

The best technology was probably the big mark-sense forms, where you filled out a huge paper ballot on card stock, and then took it to the ballot box and put it in a slot on the side. The box pulled the ballot in with rollers, scanned it, and dropped it in the sealed translucent box underneath, where you could see it, blurred. So there was an immediate electronic tally, and paper ballots for re-counting.

Ballot printing was a big cost with that system, but the machines were cheap.

In this instance, Bannon gets away with it because he is white and shares political views of Zuckerberg.

If an (e.g.) Muslim had said the same thing about a high profile (far)-right candidate, many of the people who supported his post would be calling it a terrorist threat.

In this case Zuckerberg is defending the terrorist calls to arms of those who think, and look, like him.
It's hyperbole. Right now, people in government don't really face a lot of consequences for the things they mess up. In fact, the worse thing that seems to happen to them is they get reassigned to some other branch in the bureaucracy, maybe a slightly less prestigious title. A lot of people have that kind of frustration and express it in that way.
