>” I really wish you would stop coming at it from this angle, it's not a productive way to look at things. The suspicions are moot and are settled by the courts. That is a fact.”

If there’s election fraud going on, it literally does not matter because they found a way to get away with it.

All suspicions are moot. The system has been designed to be investigation-resistant and I just have to accept that. Because, again, it is literally settled and utterly futile to look into these things.

It’s also a vicious cycle. It’s pointless to investigate past elections, and upcoming elections - if contested - won’t be investigated because all the past elections turned out just fine. We didn’t go looking for fraud, and we know that our elections have virtually no fraud because we didn’t find any.

The practical effect is, no matter what vulnerabilities and exploits can exist in our elections, none of that matters because you’re not allowed to look into it.
This. 100%

For example, I remember a thread here on HN a while back about Zoom - which is unfortunately not optional for many people - frequently gobbling up an exhaustive list of running processes. Presumably this is to populate a list of apps you can share the screen off in a call, but we have no guarantees whatsoever that this information stays on the device. So all the user has to do is use that tool at the same time as Zoom looks at all processes and bang, they’ve got your data.
From the 1990s and, to a lesser degree, early 2000s internet culture--both the zeitgest and scholarship. I'd post links but ever since Google began heavily favoring publication date over keyword and semantic matching I've found it difficult and often impossible (not for lack of trying) to find the various websites, manifestos, blogs, and magazine articles that I read and re-read back then.

One of my favorite manifestos was about the issue of [the non-existence of] spectrum scarcity, which also hashed out the threat posed by the reimposition of a strong publisher/consumer dichotomy. Alas, I haven't been able to find it again in the past several years.

These days whenever I come across a good article (my metric is an article I return to at least once, either to re-read or cite) I archive the link. Google is now useless for finding anything but the most recent content, and headed in that same direction when it comes to finding substantive content. Another object lesson in the perils of centralization and technological reliance.
The yellow sac spider is attracted to the smell of gas. Mazda had to do a recall on its 6 model of sedans (twice!), covering more than 100K cars in North America, because these spiders got into these cars and built webs which blocked vents, affected fuel pressure, and could have even caused fires and explosions (although the recall seems to have prevented these worst-case scenarios).

It took Microsoft a little while, I suspect due to lingering antitrust fears, but they have cannibalized the consumer AV market with Windows Defender. Hardly anyone I know uses, let alone pays for, a third-party AV product at home. Also, mainstream sources like the NYT's tech blog are recommending against third-party AVs. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/best-antivirus/

And the best defense against most of those attack vectors you mentioned is simply a decent passcode, fingerprint scanner, etc. The vast majority of modern phones don't allow apps to be installed or debugging activated while the phone is locked.

Just to expand on why I think the business model isn't there, on the one side you have giants like Google and Apple that can crib your best features, and on the other snake oil apps that offer a shiny UI and very little security. To make a quality product profitable, you're stuck trying to keep ahead of the behemoths in terms of engineering, while simultaneously being undercut by competitors with near-zero R&D costs throwing money into ads and paid endorsements. The fact that AV companies with strong existing brands have had so little success in this space makes me skeptical of whether a viable market exists.

I'm bullish on cybersecurity when it comes to enterprise offerings, but the consumer market largely seems like a dead end.
This seems to be true for literally any job, or do you have a counter example?
I know this is irrational and not very helpful, but it actually makes me angry when I see a response like "but you can cobble together some janky custom code with Workers to do what you want".

It's like going to a restaurant, asking if they have shrimp scampi, and getting a reply that you can go to a supermarket and buy the ingredients and make the dish and bring it back to the restaurant to have with your meal.

Just tell me you don't have shrimp scampi.
Wall outlets also work, and available in many homes and apartments. They are slow of course but it’s been surprising to us how much we can get away with just a single 110 alternating for two cars.

Did anyone else really want the author to tie it into Lucene? Great story, nonetheless.
We've managed spent fuel for decades with very little incident. Meanwhile continuing to power 80% of the world with combustion of fossil and biofuel kills ~8 million people per year. Comparing the very hypothetical tail of spent fuel risk to current and very real 8 million deaths/year is extremely difficult to justify.

Oh yeah and combustion also causes climate change, which brings in all sorts of additional risks on top of the air pollution one.

You can find the GitHub actions stuff in the jenkins-std-lib https://github.com/DontShaveTheYak/jenkins-std-lib it has both javadoc documentation or there is a jobs folder with examples.

your statement is worth unpacking a bit...because it suggests some difficult questions:

Indeed: fossil and biofuel air pollution kills as many people every 7 hours as the entire commercial nuclear industry including Chernobyl ever has (including the long-term latent cancer deaths) in its history. Granted, fossil and biofuel make a much higher percentage of total energy, but still!

I was curious, so I looked at list of pictures of each state's licenses.

Based on https://www.insider.com/what-drivers-license-looks-like-in-e...:

17 states say "Driver's License". Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia.

Indiana and South Dakota actually call it an "Operator License", rather than "Driver" or "Driver's".
>If I hire someone I'd like them to start working sooner rather than later. I don't understand why that needs to be explained.

Everyone would sure love to have immediately available workforce but I don't see how it's an insurmountable obstacle. Apart from the intern return offer, it's pretty common in some industries to have non-competes and many businesses wait for a year for almost every employer they hire to be able to start working. You just need to organize your business for the labor market realities and not your wants. Skilled labor market is rarely so liquid as to get workers without significant waits. In every firm where I worked there had been vacancies opened for years. Look at any FAANG, they have hundreds and thousands vacancies open permanently.

>If you aren't born in India or China. That rules out a good 1/3rd of the world's population. And even a year is a really long time to wait for a new hire to start.

Yes, it's because there are many people from China and India going through the F1->OPT->H1->GC pipeline. Nobody forces you to hire from China and India, plenty of people in Europe and the rest of Asia would love to move to America for work, experienced people too, not fresh grads.

>Where's the lie?

You said it's useless if the GC takes "1-20" years, most GCs take at least 1 year so they are lying when they say it's useful. Alternatively, your assertion of usefulness might not be realistic.
That's an option but it doesn't really scale across a lot of employees. There are many things I'd rather be doing than pestering new employees to enable MFA, when literally every other service we use that offers MFA has a checkbox to require it at the company level.

Well this sound very similar to PKI and domain registar so the issues with them are pretty same.

Please do look at ypur own argument and think it through in practical terms. One has to be a blind free market believer to think that higher foreclosures decrease suffering. Yes market forces may drive more houses to be built, but that means years on the street for some poor soul. In addition.rents have already risen massively pre-covid, so likely lack of housing is not the factor - lack of affordable housing is the issue.

To accuse another of trolling just because you are unable to think beyond the abstract is pretty childish.
The leftists in Germany had a hotly debate about this kind of politics. I remember the term coined by the ex-president of the German Linke party: lifestyle leftist. I find it poignantly accurate.

You don't want long-term employee care because you probably have skills that are in high demand right now. But that can change. You will want long-term employee care when your company fires you during an economic downturn to save costs and it's hard to find a new job.
Verifying pictures of people's physical ID cards is much more involved than using a digital standard.

It may be a big leap to say that implementing a Digital ID standard means that an ID-locked internet is the end goal, but it is a necessary step to reach that goal.

A much bigger flaw in their reasoning is that it's unclear who "they" is. Apple? Why would they care beyond maybe locking their own services behind ID? Government? Because they don't seem to be even making a uniform push to get things implemented.
What data and analysis do you need to say “regenerative braking is useful for off roading”? It’s an opinion by someone who finds that feature useful.

What is so hard to believe for you? Off roading requires plenty of start and stop, hence more braking. Regen allows the driver to use brake pedal less. Seems obvious that this is useful on its own, in addition to regen adding energy back to the battery.

How to Turn a Raspberry Pi into a Z-Wave Smart Home Hub
I had never heard of that, and the story you linked does not appear to make or to support the claim that lawyers can "own companies and sit on boards on behalf of clients".

It does suggest that lawyers are not required to keep records of their clients' financial activities, and that they should be exempt from searches for records pertaining to their clients, for fear of the searches violating privilege. It doesn't seem to be a very clear article though on what the previous situation was, or what exactly the court's decision in 2015 impacts.

I googled briefly "lawyer sit on board for me Canada" and "lawyer own business on my behalf Canada", etc., and did not find anything specific about the topic in the first few results, aside from articles stating that most law firms have internal guidelines for their staff to not sit on boards of anything but non profit organizations, or to only take positions on boards with extreme care, but that is all referring to participation in their own capacity/their firm's, not to acting on behalf of a client in a surrogate role in that client's businesses.

...do you happen to know of any sources that make it clear that lawyers do actually do this?

Somewhat infamously, "a rare alignment of sunlight on high-altitude clouds above North Dakota and the Molniya orbits of the satellites" the Soviets used for their nuclear attack early warning system triggered a false alarm, which, had it been treated as a real situation, could have lead to nuclear war in the early 80s.

Sure, but there is also a long-standing tradition of making text files readable without soft-wrapping, by using line breaks where it makes sense.

The style guides for many programming languages require you to put hard breaks in long lines, for example. Also, old-school mailing lists require this.
Power bumps are a major issue and even with redundant power you get them. Even a bump that loses 15-20% of voltage on a single phase for 3-6 cycles (of 60Hz, so like 0.05-0.1s) is a huge impact to fab production tools.

I've seen impacts from cars hitting telephone poles 20 miles away that have been enough to impact the fab, let alone tree branches snapping from snow and ice.

What exactly are you thinking? We have a closed loop system on our process cooling water but it is cooled via heat exchangers that use chilled water (in the 40-50 degree range). That water is chilled with extremely large chillers that use condenser water that is run through the cooling towers. It's as much of a closed system as you can get...eventually you need to remove heat and you can't just add energy to get it.

Sounds like a micropayment system where there is much more significant first buy in amount to be on the micropayment system than the actual (tiny) cost of a micropayment to use a service would make it worth far less worth it to spam online services.

The risk of having their payment identifier/address banned from services before significant use makes it very risky for them to use such a thing even if tiny micropayments a worth it to the spammer.

It certainly could have other problems with people getting banned from such a system for things other than: spam and other use detrimental to the service provider. There is also the issue of how the initial buy in fee is distributed.

But a high buy in for a system that many online service providers use would very strongly discourage use detrimental to the services providers (I think; this is only for discussion, as this is posted by someone with little knowledge on this. Micropayment systems have been talked about a lot, but I don't remember high buy-in mentioned).

Edit: Forgot to mention that the idea of this is that service providers can offer their services at lower cost because the risk to them from a account/address with a high buy in is lower than from an account/address with no buy in.
