It’s as if opposing voter ID has never made any sense and only increased suspicion of the people who oppose it.
It's a good question but I doubt any good analysis has been done on this. The two different districts / jurisdictions would have to share voter roll data. And, most importantly, there would actually have to be a reason to go looking / do an investigation.

Do you think a state like Indiana (for example) asks New Hampshire for voter roll data to make sure citizens who moved between the two states aren't double voting?

If they did nothing, then Epic would not need their platforms and stores. Apparently they're market makers and Epic want to reach the market.

Used to be you sold games in retail stores, which took 50% of retail price. Old console games took around 30% of retail. Pretty much every distribution and market maker in gaming history took these rates to provide platforms and markets.

I'm guessing Epic will not win these, given the many platforms they can sell on, and each taking around these same rates.

Maybe it's time for Epic to make their own phone and see how that goes.

And no matter how it's sliced, Epic breached contract. It's one thing to sue over principles or whatever. But when you breach contract, the contract usually has costs for that.

Unfortunately, this is the top comment and it has led to a lengthy discussion about the ethics of altering a url to retrieve a resource you should not have access to.

Which is a fascinating discussion, but has nothing to do with the case at hand which is where the underlying html on a publicly accessible search result page contained SSNs of the teachers returned in the search.

All the analogies about ‘it’s like asking the IRS for another document’ are all wonderfully applicable to this comment, but not remotely applicable to the actual article.
"Conspiracy to access a computer without authorization", which was and is completely preposterous. The Gawker part is completely immaterial, it was still a total travesty of justice.

> It’s not like covid is polio.

You're right, it's not like polio. In 1952, the worst polio outbreak in US history caused 3,145 deaths and 21,269 cases of paralysis (of varying levels) (ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_polio#Epidemics). In the last roughly-year-and-a-half, COVID-19 has caused 716,370 reported deaths (ref: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#cases_casesper100k..., but it'll probably be higher by the time you check).

So COVID has been killing people at over 100x the rate of polio at its worst.

Also, polio didn't overload the capacity of the healthcare system the same way COVID keeps doing. This causes consequences for people without COVID who need access to healthcare.

>I had covid, it was like a really bad flu.

COVID has highly variable symptoms; taking your particular experience as typical is a mistake. In a lot of cases, COVID is asymptomatic. In another lot, it's roughly like yours. In a smaller, but still significant fraction, it's much more serious, involving hospitalization. (Also, something like half of symptomatic cases involve ongoing "long COVID" symptoms.) In an even smaller, but again still significant (see above) fraction, it's fatal.
I think 20.04 LTS with its 10 years support separates it from the crowd. As soon as you’re updating every nine months there are many great alternatives however.

Eat a can of beans and an entire bunch of bitter greens every day. That covers most of your vitamins and minerals.

Some exceptions apply: Sprinkle flax seeds on top for omega 3s, use iodized salt for iodine (seaweed is high in iodine but also high in bad heavy metals), get fresh air and sunshine for vitamin D, pick out your favorite source of vitamin b12. I believe you'll still need potassium.

For exercise: A good place to start is to walk and bike for transportation. Read this book if you're wanting to be convinced that exercise is a magic pill: Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain
Just spent over an hour listening to these and I've only scratched the surface. Absolutely fascinating, thanks for sharing!
What "we in the first world" mostly need to concentrate on is mitigation of the effects of whatever the climate bestows upon us, there is no sense in trying to change the course of the climate. Mitigation means developing crops which will grow and prosper in areas where the conditions become more amenable to agriculture, e.g. large parts of the northern hemisphere which are now tundra might become more bountiful if the temperature goes where it was during the last interglacial and during the Holocene climatic optimum. If there is a marked rise of sea level - which is not a given, it wholly depends on where on the planet you happen to take measurements since several areas are still rising due to post-glacial rebound [1] - this can be mitigated in several ways as has been shown in the Netherlands for centuries.

It does not make sense to waste time doing penance by "reassessing out relationship with this planet" - the planet couldn't care less whether we live or die - when the capabilities of "the first world" are much better suited for developing and implementing technologies to improve the quality of life for anyone who cares to implement them. This does not mean churn out more useless commercial crap to be produced by the lowest bidder. What it means is developing and producing effective desalination systems to ensure the availability of fresh water, effective energy storage systems which actually work, can be affordably produced now in enough quantity, design and series-build nuclear (fission) power generation systems which can be delivered and installed on locations without needing to type-approve each and every installation as if it is a from-the-ground-up design, etc. Whatever impact a changing climate - whether that change means a warmer or cooler climate - has it will be worldwide but the mitigations will need to be implemented on a local/regional/national level.

So, no penance is wanted nor needed nor would that be of any help. It is good old human ingenuity which we should turn to. A species which looks towards colonising other planets should be - and is - capable of facing this much smaller challenge and emerge victoriously.

You are a glutten for punishment! I moved out of Texas and moved to the west coast for a bit. I then eventually moved back to Texas for family reasons. Moving back was much worse of culture shock. Yes, I knew what to expect, but after being away from it and then dropped back in just reminds you of how bad different it is. Kind of like a boiling frog growing up, but then being the lobster as an adult.
> The state already knows John Jones, born 1st January 1970, is eligible to vote

It actually does not know this. This is a very hard problem to solve in the US. There can be positive evidence of this (John Jones has been a resident of California since birth, has a birth certificate (state document) and a Social Security (federal) number reflecting that), but John Jones may have been born in PA with no Social Security number or birth certificate at all and be a current resident of California, having moved there last year, and a perfectly legitimate US citizen eligible to vote in California for local, state, and federal offices.

There is no national US citizen registry, mostly for historical reasons, and making one is a total political nonstarter. Further, states are individually responsible for determining if someone is probably an eligible voter, and so there’s different processes and checks in place depending on the state.
Yet another example of how political leaders are completely out of the loop on all things tech. Software is such a large part of the world nowadays that we need to change this or the US is going to have even more issues going forward. I don’t think the current parties are amenable to making changes and bringing in tech-savvy people anymore, and I firmly believe the only way forward is going to be to find a way to create a new party that can get traction at the grassroots level that is tech-forward and led by people who aren’t career politicians/lawyers. The two party system makes this very hard though
It also puts an extra barrier for re-enfranchising already disenfranchised voters.

A way around such shenanigans could be some legislation where the government is required to give everyone an id card for free - and to put the onus on govt for achieving that.

From my perspective, it's genuinely weird that requiring voter id would be disenfranchising... but I know that is how things are in the States. So either stop voter ID laws, or defang them by making IDs trivially available.
I don't remember the details, but I remember it wasn't nearly as simple as toggling a switch. I remember it involving a mixture of:

* Setting custom startup flags to chrome

* accessing a hidden dev-specific page and turning on acceleration features that were deemed unsupported or experimental.

This page looks related though I don't remember if these exact instructions worked for me or not: https://www.linuxuprising.com/2021/01/how-to-enable-hardware.... I had to do a bunch of research before I arrived at a working solution.

After I enabled these features, my desktop started encountering a problem where I would have to kill and restart the display manager once, and thereafter the display manager would occasionally hang and I'd have to restart it.

It was manageable with a few days research and technical skill, but it's not the kind of thing you would expect most people to put up with.

Another thing to note, Chrome's software renderer didn't seem to play well with my skylake? integrated graphics. Not only was it slow, but buggy with screen tearing and other visual artifacts. So I had to get acceleration working so my browser would both render properly and be reasonably responsive and performant.

Glad to see Apple supporting more open 3d tools.

Apple was huge in getting open standards funded at Khronos for OpenGL ES, WebGL and more. These investments led to lots of great things and innovations.

The market for 3d tools is one of the most fixed markets out there and the tools are expensive, that has caused interoperability issues and standards being more proprietary. For instance, COLLADA wasn't great but it was one standard they pretty much broke in favor of FBX, which is probably better but also less open/standard.

Hopefully these investments can help change that in the 3d tools market a bit. Even getting your hands on Maya, 3ds Max, ZBrush, Houdini, Cinema4D, etc was difficult until recently. Blender might have made the pricing on those more competitive as well as Unity/Unreal opening up more on pricing.

Blender is opening up 3d tools for all and that is a good thing. The app used to be a usability complexity problem but is getting very competitive in usability and less complex on entry. Tools are like games, they should be easy to approach and more advanced on the backend/detail to master for advanced users, simplicity should always be the goal for tools.
Vite build under the hood, rollup and esbuild
I thought I needed to attend a good expensive private college, I was dead wrong.

I thought there was ZERO money to be made as a programmer, so I studied EE instead, in 1981!
No, no, no. More LSD. Less Internet.
Disagree. Github's self-hosted product is trash compared to Gitlab. Plus they were very late to the game when it came to stuff like CI, package management, project tracking and a whole suite of enterprise features. Github had (and still has) a huge lead in public open-source development, but that's it.
Agreed. I've done a lot of Ubuntu and Arch. Arch is fantastic. I recently have been trying out Fedora and I have been enjoying it a lot.
I agree, but there needs to be some compromise between integrity and ease. As programmers, we all know how easily systems can be compromised. Having effectively zero barrier to getting proper ID seems like a simple, inexpensive solution, especially given you already need ID for so many other essentials
These are called surety bonds.
I use the esbuild-sass-plugin[1] in my Phoenix 1.6 project, using the build script they give in the doc[2] and it works for me.

[1] https://github.com/glromeo/esbuild-sass-plugin

[2] https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/asset_management.html#esbuild-plu...

Maybe it'll help someone, one difference from the plugin doc was using:

const { sassPlugin } = require("esbuild-sass-plugin");

Instead of:

import { sassPlugin } from "esbuild-sass-plugin";

After all, it would not be Javascript without some import syntax shenanigan ;)
"If you know a way to focus-stack a live and highly active subject, I'm all ears."

You don't, which is why higher depth of field is the golden standard. See: The entirety of this discussion.

"so confidently to take such a superior tone"

To be clear, you dismissed my post by claiming that it's a "fixed" issue, then posting proof that doesn't show it to fixed. I don't believe I'm the one who attempted a superior tone.

Depth of field is *THE* issue in macro photography. Small focal length cameras are at an advantage in that regard. It's pretty simple.

I think part of the problem is that third party apt repositories have become normalised as if they're a reasonable way to "add on" to your existing system.

In reality they're a hack on a packaging system that was never designed for third party plugability in this way. They very often break future upgrades. Third party apt repositories fundamentally cannot express all the necessary metadata to allow for upgrades to work in the general case. They don't even namespace properly; apt cannot even tell the difference between a third party installed package and one that came from the distribution. And third party packagers typically don't even consider future upgrades.

This is why Ubuntu is working on snaps: they are a mechanism that allows for third party plugability in a way that does not break the system.

If we want upgrades not to break, the system dpkg/apt installation needs to be left alone and not be interfered with by third parties.
Most democratic countries don't seem to have a right wing that's been doing its best to undermine the integrity of elections in a way that works in their favor.

The countries where you see that kind of behavior tend to be the ones that have ended up with dictators or quasi-dictators. There's been plenty of serious discussion recently about the risk the US faces of ending up on that road.

Whatever the arguments might have been for this 5 or 10 years ago, now seems like a really bad time to make a change like this. And again, what is the positive case for making the change? What problem is being solved? There already is a voter identification requirement at registration time, and a mechanism for detecting fraudulent votes.

Not American, but from what I understand you would need an ID for e.g. foods stamps and unemployment benefits (searched via Google). I think the same is true when you are hired for a new job as well(?). These are just examples. Can you really live a normal life in the US without a passport, driver's license or State ID?

I have read many times that requiring an ID card to vote in the US is seen by many as undemocratic as certain demographics are hindered from voting. To me this is absurd. To create trust that elections are held without fraud, IDs are an essential building block.
Where exactly? I had to pay for all my government IDs.
that is fine but you pay for it.

Well I suppose that depends on what you consider well designed. Designed to maximize Apple's profit and prevent consumer choice or upgrades? Undeniably true. Woe to the buyer who decides a year later he needs double the RAM or storage. At the very least he or she must resell their device and buy new again. So to that buyer I dare say frame.work is both competitive, innovative and a better choice than a glued shut hunk of electronics with everything soldered on. System on a chip is not relevant here as both storage and memory are outboard, as is a GPU once one needs better graphics performance than an integrated GPU/CPU can provide.

They gave notice and waited until the offending pages were taken down. The article does not specify what the original html looked like, it could be a simple artifact from testing, when someone dumped the entire object into a template for debugging or maybe they actually were using this as a sort of a data field and then used it, for example, in a js call call to served.

But the response from the AG shows they have no idea how internet works:
“They had no authorization to convert or decode, so this was clearly a hack.”

Bigger questions: Who developed the system? Was it a contractor or in-house? If it was a contractor, are they gonna lose government contracts? Because, it sounds like they should. If it was in-house, are they gonna get training or some procedure in place to audit things going forward?
This type of response by a high level public official is not excusable in 2021, maybe in 2005 or 2010, but it's 2021 now.
No, it won't be problem solved.

We have already kickstarted positive feedback loops like thawing of the tundra, reduced albedo due to smaller ice sheets, ... . We actually need to go carbon negative for a while to offset those. The technology you mention surely will help greatly in avoiding speeding things up, but they won't take us back to preindustrial levels alone.
I've used Gitlab constantly for many years, and they stand out to me as a company that delivers new features at an astounding pace and with a relatively high level of polish. I really don't know how they do it. Congrats to the Gitlab team, your success is well deserved!

It would seem that snap brand stores are essentially hosted private repos something one could do for Ubuntu for as little as $5 a month. Why not just use those?

> Yes, it is obvious: the clerk is liable for giving you something they shouldn't have, and you are liable for fraudulently representing yourself as someone who should have access to those files.

It's always okay to ask for things. There would be no way for society to adapt, progress, or change if people were limited to only asking for things that they knew in advance they were allowed to have. If it's legal for a telemarketer, pollster, reporter, cop, or recruiter to contact me and ask me questions then it's just as legal for me to contact and ask a web server a question. The correct response to unauthorized requests is a 4xx, not a lawsuit.

More to the point, what makes it okay to ask a new web server for "/" without permission? Even if browse-through terms of service were legally enforceable they aren't known to the user or the browser before making the first connection and request.

If a web server doesn't want to answer questions then don't connect it to the Internet.
