Theft shouldn't be tolerated from either side.

>repeated by people pushing particular agendas

The irony.... The agenda seems to be it's ok to steal, commit crime if you're a specific skin color.

You're right there is an agenda being pushed. I can't believe people can be so brainwashed that they'll defend crime. I guess you reap what you sow though, just don't push your moronic "acceptance" on the rest of the country. And please for the love of god stay where you are and don't infest other parts of the US with your ridiculousness.

If you want to live in a place that supports this by all means do it but don't make the rest of us do it.

> In conclusion, the empirical research supports the proposition that using memory-safe programming languages for these projects would result in a game-changing reduction in total number of vulnerabilities

There are some missing pieces here. A software rewrite introduces a lot of new bugs. Take one of these OSs. They’ve been fixing security bugs for decades, ~30% of which are non-memory safety related. A rewrite in a truly memory safe language will have zero memory safety-related bug but will include a substantial number of new, non-memory-safety security bugs, the kind it took decades to remove from the original code.

I think there would be a long term payoff, but considering the resources required, it’s unclear if a rewrite effort could even succeed at all. Realistically, you’re going to end up forking, with some development happening on a rewrite fork with low feature velocity and other development happening on a higher feature velocity fork with no rewrite effort. With low features and years with actually more security bugs, I’m not sure the rewrite fork would even survive.

“using memory-safe programming languages for these projects” is easy to say, but what’s the actual path that can be followed from here to there?

I bet then somebody will invent a microchipped, DRMed food just for the sake of it.
My hypothesis is that when a system is large enough, you run across so many counter-examples and ‘that shouldn’t work’s that do for everything that it’s easy to lose the forest for the trees and have large scale systemic problems that seem simple in hindsight but no one has the ability or will to pull together or change at the time - until it blows up. Most of the firms
Originating the shitty loans never lobbied Congress. Most
of the people signing up for these impossible loans had no idea the rules changed, and just wanted to be rich(Er), and thought they had a sure thing.

You’re 8th grade economics class also probably didn’t cover some very real scenarios where prices don’t and can’t go down - hyperinflation.

It’s easy to say Effective Regulation, it’s harder to do it - especially when everyone is getting rich (including the average homeowner who sees the value of their home skyrocket). I lived through ‘08. I was in the market to buy due to life changes in ‘05 and it was already out of control. Of the literally hundreds of co-workers, investors, other buyers, etc I interacted with, only one other one actually didn’t get involved and avoided problems. Of the dozen friends who I’m close with, a quarter of them got in over their heads buying during this time (others sold, or wanted to buy but were priced out). I ended up buying in early ‘10 for literally half the price. Keeping a steady hand through the run up of prices literally had me crying myself to sleep a few times. It isn’t realistic to expect all but a tiny portion of people to see what is really going on in such a mass psychosis event.

And Canada has been having a similar crisis for a decade+, it just hasn’t blown up yet - see the Vancouver, Toronto, etc. housing markets. These are impending financial crises in the making - or not. They may not have had bank crises in ‘08, but a lot of investors still lost a ton of Money.

And you keep insisting on everyone getting rich off bailouts - when what really kicked off the collapse was when firms were allowed to implode to set an example, everyone lost massive amounts of money on their investments, banks were nationalized, and an entire industry (mortgage origination) went through a nuclear winter. The gov’t bailouts (that in many cases were forced on solvent firms so the few that were in trouble didn’t get pushed into bank runs) got paid back, with interest. Someone made money, but someone always makes money. On a whole, they lost way more, and if everyone knew it was going to play out this way, very few would have kept doing it.

That not every single financial firm went bankrupt is indeed a thing. That we didn’t enter a Great Depression spiral because of it is also probably a good thing for everyone. Unless you’re saying you are a ‘debt is evil’ person, in which case be aware the hangover from implementing THAT in the modern economy would make the Great Depression look like a blip.

> Change the way shopping is done so that shoplifting doesn't work. I fill a cart, walk through the gate out the door and receive a total, passing my card/phone over a sensor to pay. Of course, this means it's on Home Depot to get it right and I'm sure there will be ways to defeat the system.

This sounds an awful lot like how the Amazon retail / grocery stores work. You arrive, scan a QR code at a gate as you walk in. You take whatever you want, and then leave without dealing with anyone. A bit later, you receive a bill in your email and a charge is made to your card.

It's seamless and super convenient. It's also super creepy once you think about how it must work. I don't think I'd go back after that one visit.

I think your point is valid, but I would like to point our that PBS has a lot of great stuff on Youtube. I think there is a role for public broadcasting, but it will probably be marginal.

> who gets to decide what is disinformation/misinformation?

I certainly hope it isn't the authors of this paper, the German Marshall Fund. The GMF funds their own propaganda like the Alliance for Securing Democracy, and they are funded by USAID. USAID overtly does what the CIA used to do covertly.

It appears the call is for more local journalism/programming online. PBS has great national and children's programs and does have broadcast local journalism/topics of interest. However, getting access to that online is more difficult.

Evidence is widely available and not difficult to locate:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youth_incarceration_in_the_Uni...

>In 1995, African American youths made up 12% of the population, but were arrested at rates double those for Caucasian youths. The trend towards adult adjudication has had implications for the racial make-up of the juvenile prison population as well. Minority youth tried in adult courts are much more likely to be sentenced to serve prison time than white youth offenders arrested for similar crimes.

https://thecrimereport.org/2021/06/17/racial-disparities-per...

>According to the Equal Justice Initiative, Black children are more than twice as likely as white kids to be arrested, even though they’re not committing more crimes, but because Black Kids are burdened by a “presumption of guilt and dangerousness,” which leads youth of color to have higher rates of stops, searches, violence, suspension, and disproportionate contact with the juvenile justice system.

https://www.sentencingproject.org/publications/racial-dispar...

>As of 2013, black juveniles were more than four times as likely to be committed as white juveniles, Americans Indian juveniles were more than three times as likely, and Hispanic juveniles were 61 percent more likely.

http://jaapl.org/content/early/2019/02/13/JAAPL.003828-19

>However, research has documented the existence of racial disparity in the treatment of youth involved in the juvenile justice system for several decades. Studies from the 1980s and 1990s demonstrated that black juveniles were detained and confined at higher rates compared with white youth, and that black youth were more likely to be sent to correctional facilities compared with white youth, who were more likely to be sent to psychiatric hospitals. Additionally, recent studies have documented the continued trend of overrepresentation of minority youth in the juvenile justice system

One of the nice things about a real calculator is it is easy to enter numbers and do basic operations on them without looking. That's usually quite a bit harder on an emulated calculator on a touch-screen device due to the lack of tactile feedback.

I wonder if one could make some sort of overlay that you can put on top of the touchscreen when used an emulated calculator to help with that?

One approach could simply have a cover over the virtual keyboard area, with holes in the cover over the virtual keys. This would give you some tactile feedback when moving between keys.

Fancier would be a cover with actual push buttons that when pushed touch the screen with something that will register on touchscreens.

To make it really fancy, also have an "On" button that rather than touching the screen uses Bluetooth LE to communicate with something on the phone that launches or switches to the calculator that matches the keyboard overlay.

Yup. I worked for a company that was contracted out to spectrum for cable installs. You never knew what you were doing the next day, you were essentially on-call 24/7 (I told them upfront I wasn't working on Sundays and even then they would try to throw me jobs, but I left my work phone off). I couldn't plan for anything or have any kind of life outside of work. That company went under and I'm much better off now.
I don’t want to speak for the OP but I read their comment as “why did they evolve certain features that wouldn’t have be reasonable given the evolutionary pressures of earth?” E.g., their ability to survive high levels of radiation or vacuum.

There’s some speculation that a large amount of their genetics were transferred from other animals.[1] I wonder how much this muddles the tracing through the evolutionary tree.

"Smart" isn't just technical skills anyway. You can have all the technical chops in the world, but if you never listen to anyone else, insist on doing things the One True Right Way™, and are unable to admit that you're wrong, then effectively you're not actually all that smart, are you? "Smart" is really a combination of skill and attitude.

I remember that, shopping at CompUSA. Even more annoying we're alarms in items themselves, display items. Turn the item around to look at it and the alarm could go off, and take a staff member 5 minutes to walk over and deactivate it.

I hope then, at the small company you can just talk to the person and ask them to let you use the normal browser, just like you would if any other tool was interfering with your edge case, be it disability related or not. The nice thing about many small companies is they are biased towards less 'paperwork' and more action.

I find in most companies that you are not a minimum wage worker, the only real blocker towards not being able to do something is compliance law preventing you from not doing something. That conflict of laws is where most companies seize up. I hope something like this doesn't become a mandatory thing for compliance security things one day without proper accessibility support.
