The goal is to poke holes in the 15th and 24th amendments, which they can wallow out over time.

The SC is more than happy to put limits and exceptions on Constitutional protections. The hardest part is getting that first exception in place. Once it's there, you can slowly bring forth more cases that expand that exception ever more.

That's malarkey. EVs have more than enough space for a donut. If manufacturers choose to not ship one, that's because they can same $$ and weight by not doing so - it's not due to space.
So you’re arguing for free hunting licenses?

I’m joking of course, a hunting license isn’t a form of ID. Curiously, my CHL isn’t a form of ID, even though it is state issued, has my pic, and I had to be finger printed to get it.

Doors (holes-become-walls / walls-become-holes) are for controlling whether things can go through. URLs are for letting things through.

After using Ubuntu for a couple years, I switched to Arch and never even think about going back. Ubuntu is great for people new to Linux, but it is like buying a new PC. Some people know very little about computers, so they just get an HP or Dell. Then once you start learning about graphics cards, SSDs, cooling, processors, etc... You either build your own or buy one with the components you actually want. That is why I use Arch.

There's a ton of related frictions too, FATCA makes it impossible for US persons (including citizens) to open a bank account in a many foreign countries, especially European ones. SEC regulations preclude Americans from opening foreign brokerage accounts. Any aggregate bank account balances over $10,000USD at any time in the calendar year requires filing with FinCEN - [edit] and failure to do so may result in forfeiture of up to 50% of the balance of said accounts.

Starting a business while abroad is especially painful as you are the beneficial owner of a controlled foreign corporation, and the tax reporting there is its own special hellscape.
As an EEA citizen living in the UK, let me tell you that you’re missing the plot.

Whether you agree or not with the requirement of ID cards for EU nationals in the UK, doesn’t change the fact that David Davis repeatedly voted against extending one’s civil liberties, based on their nationality.

This is what the previous commenter noted, and is factually correct!

David Davis is a joke and his word is not worth more than his EU trade deal that never happened.
I believe he was thinking of programming language paradigms -- e.g. procedural, stack-oriented, vector-oriented, functional, etc.

Well thats where we disagree i guess. When people google University of Montana computer science and see the dozens of articles that pop up about this guy they are not going to think oh yay this school is a champion of intellectual freedom. They are going to see a tenured professor propping up the worst of the worst CS stereotypes and software engineering bro culture.

Worth realizing that a lot of pre-internet systems like bureaucracies and phone networks were full of known and actively exploited vulnerabilities but they relied on obscurity and the law to discourage excessive exploitation so white-hat hacking didn't make sense.

Somebody who's been out of touch for the past 20 years could easily see responsible disclosure as the beginning of an extortion attempt. "I can access your data and I'll publish sensitive information about it in 30 days." sounds like it's about to be followed up with "...unless you send me a pile of money in unmarked bills".
Facebook makes it hard for me to keep in touch with people, since I have to manually pick through a mountain of bullshit to find any posts that are actually from my friends and actually about their lives

At first I could set up a list of “Actual Friends” and see all their posts, but now it’ll only show a couple days’ worth, so I have to manually click each profile and check them one by one

If they had RSS-enabled blogs or kept up with an email chain or used a shared subreddit, there’d be no problem
They don't stop fraud, either. A common form of double voting is among voters who have multiple homes voting in more than one place.

The focal length input is squared, but the CoC impact is linear. The iPhone has a small CoC compared to SLRs, but its input on the calculation is undersized relative to focal length.

The iPhone is widely assumed to have a CoC of 0.004mm (this actually increases on the most recent iPhone, though it's tough to get precise numbers). A Nikon D5000 (going with an equivalent resolution -- larger pixels -- on an ASP-C camera) has a CoC of 0.020.

So let's calculate hyperfocal distance of the two systems for the same effective focal length (but obviously very different real focal lengths)-

iPhone 12 telephoto lens - 65mm (7.5mm real) equivalent, f2.2.

Nikon D5000 equivalent lens - 65mm (43mm real) equivalent, f2.2.

For the iPhone, the HF is 6.4m. For the Nikon, it is 54.3m. For those who don't know, hyperfocus is the point where everything from 1/2 of that distance to infinity is in focus if you set the focus to that magical point. It's a proxy for the other depth of field calculations, and is the simplest to demonstrate.

Anyone who owns an iPhone w a "telephoto" and an ASP-C SLR w/ a 50mm lens needs to try to replicate bokeh at various distances without the computational bokeh. Focus on a subject at 1m, 2m, 4m, etc at the same aperture. Close down the aperture on the SLR even.

The point being that the IT guy made sure this guy will never try to report on anything again. As they will ".. would be watching .. at our IP address .. while the issue was being fixed."

How nice of you to live in a state that wants people to get an ID and vote, it's not like that everywhere...

Older article but wouldn't be surprised if more states are doing similar things today.

"Many ID-issuing offices maintain limited business hours. For example, the office in Sauk City, Wisconsin is open only on the fifth Wednesday of any month. But only four months in 2012 — February, May, August, and October — have five Wednesdays. In other states — Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas — many part-time ID-issuing offices are in the rural regions with the highest concentrations of people of color and people in poverty"

You can't open a bank account with just a VPN. You also need an address in the US. And even if you do, how do you get money into that account? Do you think your employer in the Netherlands would match your 401(k) deposits?
Wow, I'll keep this in mind next time I complain about my manager.
Yeah, but those taxes are based on the value of the shares today ($1.5m) minus what it'll cost him ($4k).

Even though he's not actually profiting on that difference yet, you still usually owe taxes on it. So we're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes.

It's no small thing.

> Invisible man in the sky not doing it for me.

Reasonable. Because such an understand of (the Christian) God is indeed simplistic. But most folks don't have the time or energy to get into theology and the notion of (e.g.) Aquinas of God being "ipsum esse subsistens": "the shear act of 'to be' itself."

> The obsession with "https everywhere" needs to stop, now. Otherwise, not only will our future landfills groan under the weight of megatons of e-waste that didn't need to stop working when it did, but our collective cultural history online will eventually consist of nothing but undecodable random numbers.

If those devices can't even update certs, they absolutely should not be online because they're solid blocks of vulnerable software that will just contribute to botnets.

And the only way for this to contribute to losing history is if you're somehow archiving content by grabbing it off the wire, which seems inefficient anyways.
All of that is assuming we don't make major advances in carbon/methane capture and maybe some sort of "ice capture" plan, of course.

I don't know how much hope we have to actually see major advances in these areas, but given what we all expect of how much pressure we will be in collectively I can imagine a lot more money being thrown at is as people get desperate.
Exactly this. In fact, the current title is actually refuted by the abstract.
Not true. Taiwan doesn’t count votes in this highly visible public way (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqKt-lPfJuw) because of “loser politicians.”

Most western European countries also have significant voter security measures, although comparisons are often hard to make because they piggy-back voter registration on the mandatory residence registration process. In Germany for example you get a voting card in the mail, but you have to shlep to your local citizens office with proof of residency (lease, etc.) within 30 days of moving. In Georgia you can register to vote entirely on line, but they check your ID at voting time.
I guess the argument would be that changing the number in the URL is lying, as you are providing an ID that was not assigned to you

(Playing devil’s advocate here)

As a Swiss citizen living abroad I can participate in Swiss votations and I am represented by the Council of Swiss Abroad: https://www.swisscommunity.org/en/voting-co-determination/th....

That makes sense to me that expatriates have some level of representation to defend their interests.

And of course I only have to pay taxes in the country where I live. US citizens living abroad seem to have it way more difficult than we do.
In my town most of the upper income people live outside the city in houses with rainwater collection, septic tanks and increasingly no electric grid connection either (thanks to solar panels and battery). There is nothing self sufficient about this. Every one of these households still has 2 cars, fridge, tv, internet, computers, supermarket food, medicine, clothes and furniture from China etc. Most people who go off grid in developed countries probably consume more resources than the average city dweller living in a small apartment.
Geez... yeah sure, "The King" who still controls all the world's bombs is dead, and Bitcoin rules all. Incidentally, I'm watching the backstabbing mini-world of Squid Game. Without those "kings", what's stopping your neighbor from robbing you?

A cryptocurrency skeptic wrote in a good essay once (and I paraphrase imprecisely), of course people who've bought crypto are bullish about it, they've put money in it. And of course they think it's going to go up, because otherwise why would they've put their hard earned money in it. And one way for it to go up is for them to start preaching about it so others would want to buy into it...
Cities are wonderful places except that hell is other people. There's actually no need to go back to a primitive way of life but there absolutely is a need to learn more basic survival skills with respect to self-sufficiency.

There's really no reason to be running Steam in Wine when Steam runs natively within Linux and Proton does the work for you for each individual game.

You’d still be able to credit foreign taxes paid against any US tax owing, on income anyway, treaty or not.

Where you get screwed is when countries have different philosophies on things. E.g. Canada doesn’t tax gains on your home, but you can’t write off mortgage interest on your taxes. Meanwhile USA taxes gains on your home but lets you deduct mortgage interest.

If you’re a dual citizen living in Canada, you pay both.

Or if you live in a country with predominantly sales taxes and no income taxes, well, now you get to pay lots of sales taxes and US income taxes.
I've always thought it was something like a middle finger to americans who leave.

"You're not part of this project, get out and stay out." There was a bill in the 1990s to permanently ban any Americans who renounce from coming back, which is hardcore.

But we're also a country that to war over a few states leaving. Whatever the reasons, it was equally hardcore to sacrifice so many to stop it. Maybe an intense dislike of people leaving is embedded in our blood.

I've had this hypothesis for years that a good AI model would be something in between a neural net and probabilistic grammar.

In my mind it would involve some kind of generative grammar that would generate nodes (select from a pool), then these nodes could be trained. I'm thinking about something like a grammar for Bayesian networks or, more broadly, a generative program induction scheme where you'd specify a programming language grammar, generate programs that fit the data and tune the parameters.

I attempted and failed to implement some of these ideas (described here: https://www.quora.com/What-deep-learning-ideas-have-you-trie...). The search space for generative programs is just so huge and irregular and I don't know how to keep things differentiable. In the paper, they mention gradient-based optimization so maybe to figured out part of it.
Assessing the scope of the breach, sure. "Fixing" the breach by monitoring a single IP addresses access patterns not so much. The site needed to be taken down till a mitigation has been deployed.

California has already done the work in making voting accessible and it isn't califronia politicans arguing for voter ID laws. California isn't a battleground state and is run by people who have pushed to make voting as seamless as possible. Alabama, after passing voter ID laws, then turned around and made it more difficult for people to obtain IDs. [1]

No, it really isn’t. Everyone has taxes and paperwork, some easier than others. Not everyone has the same restrictions on normal financial activities.
Yeah, good point.

FWIW, I'm not saying Coinbase is right here, and I'm not saying deregulate it all. I do think regulatory clarity in crypto would be good, and possibly we should revise some laws that were made almost a century ago.

I do not have an actual proposal but I am not a law maker.
Reading through these comments gave me the same thought. Notice a problem? Buy a raspberry pi with cash, visit starbucks, upload report about the issue to reporters via newly created (and never used again) gmail account, throw away raspberry pi, never talk or think about the issue again.
I don't think quantifiable significant damage should be the bar we use, though that should act to moderate the consequences.

OP admitted to continue changing URLs in order to check out what plans other companies were getting and what they cost. That means OP downloaded lists of employee names, ages, SSNs, and other data. If I were an employee at one of these other companies, I'd be pissed at OP for that. I'd be even more pissed at the people who built the marketplace website for making the rookie security mistake that allowed it, but it's absolutely not ok to download other people's information when you shouldn't have access to it, and use that to your own advantage.

Sure, I don't think this is something that should be prosecuted as a CFAA violation with big fines and jail time. That's not a proportionate response. But I also don't think we should signal that it's ok to look at (and use!) other people's data just because someone else forgot to lock it up properly. I think, for example, something on the level of a parking ticket would be appropriate here.

If OP had changed the URL once, found the vulnerability, and then immediately closed the page and reported the problem, I would see nothing bad in what they did. But they didn't merely do that, and IMO crossed the line in their subsequent actions.
Tell that to the Amish anytime.
Relatedly, in theory it also makes it much easier for a worker in a "local maxima" of doing a job they dislike inefficiently so long as checks get cleared more of an incentive to quit on their own decision and find a better personal "efficiency" for their labor if they feel much more comfortable that they have a safety net if they decide to seek new options.
