A driver's license isn't proof of residence, as you might have moved since you got it. When you register to vote you need to prove you have the right to. When you show up at the polls, you need to prove you're the person who registered. ID is one way. Another is by signature, does your signature match the one you used when you registered. A third is that the poll workers know you by sight, which used to be common in small towns.

People voting multiple times isn't really a risk, because it's incredibly stupid. It's a felony, so if you get caught, you go to jail. But if you get away with it, you've flipped one vote, and even a very close election isn't going to be settled by a couple of votes.

There were a very small handful of people who got caught voting twice in the 2020 election, or casting someone else's ballot: two or three in Georgia and in Pennsylvania. Most voted twice for Trump.
This approach is naive in that it completely ignores the outsized influence a corporation like Facebook has on the market.

This isn't you making a free decision between competitors, like in an idealized econ 101 example. Facebook has already used its money to consolidate its grasp on the standalone VR market - can you think of a viable competitor to an Oculus Quest? Should people just have to put up with privacy abuses or be excluded from VR altogether?

When the market fails, it's time for the government to step in.
I don't like videos either and I took watching at 2x as good advice I'll put into use.
It's a subscription, so they have to know it is you to know if you've paid your dues or not. MS is a bit sneakier though as they will allow you to open a document and make changes, but if you are not current in your subscription fees, they disable save functions. Been caught out on this a couple of times.

Having seen the kind of situations (untrained) drivers get themselves into while looking at a complete loss of how to proceed, I would like to vehemently disagree.

That's why most western countries have something that passes for "training" as an requirement to be allowed to drive.

No such thing with computers.

With this analogy I suppose an omnibar would be like a self-driving car? Or maybe just an automatic transmission?
GMC Sierra, maybe, but as far as SUVs go, the Yukon/Escalade/Suburban/Tahoe are not a very popular size of SUV in the US. They're too dang expensive for most people.

The RAV4, CR-V, and Rogue are the top 3 best selling SUVs in the US so far this year. They're about half the price of a Yukon. The rest of the top 25 are almost all sedans, similarly sized midsize SUVs and pickups.
I've been remote for 5 years. I have been happy to take a 50% reduction in what I could be making. In the past, I would wake up in the morning and find myself willing to pay more money than I would make that day in order to not have to go into work. The economics of that didn't work out. I also work for a mission driven organization that is on a tight budget. I make enough money, but more importantly, I have not had a single day in five years where I didn't want to go to work. That's pretty priceless.
I think people are defensive and outraged because if something like this ever caught on among tech companies and became a normalized practice, it would make the process of job seeking much more frustrating than it already is. It's basically institutionalized, monetized nepotism, with all the toxicity of an MLM scheme.

A professional world where this was a common practice would be an awful one for a lot of people. The intense reaction might be a bit of overkill, but it's worth sending a strong message that this is not okay.
The CEO at the time, Martin Winterkor, and at least six other executives were indicted. Some of the executives were jailed but still not the CEO (I can find mentions of prosecutors discussing the sentence but no mention of him actually starting serving it).

But I have muche less hope in the capacity of the US to seriously incriminate its poster child.

I'm a bit confused about what you're saying. levels.fyi is accurate and there are plenty of remote jobs available. So the 300k+ salaries are certainly available from Boston. If you're not willing to prove that you can pass system design, coding, and leadership interviews then that's a different matter. FWIW I recently interviewed for staff at a bay area big tech company and there was no leetcode-style coding interview: system design, leadership, presenting previous work, and a simple non-algorithmic coding discussion.
In the Windows world, sadly, things are a mess. Most new laptops including Microsoft's newest Surface Studio have fractional scaling, i.e., scaling set to a number other than 100% or 200%.

As Steve Jobs said when he originally introduced retina screens on the iPhone, the only scale that looks good after 100% is 200%. Any other scale will have display artifacts. If the scale is 150% or 300% then horizontal lines on a web page will appear to have different thicknesses even when they are all actually the same thickness. This is a deal breaker for web developers and graphic artists, and for folks who just want the best looking screens.

I tried the screens of the newest laptops on display at BestBuy. Even 4k screens have this rendering artifact.

Microsoft's now-obsolete Surface 2 and Surface 3 screens are one of the best. They have 3000x2000 screens and the dpi is 267. Most importantly, the display scale is set to 200%. Everything looks perfect. Sadly, Surface Laptop 4 and Surface Studios no longer use this screen. Their scales are set to between 100% and 200%, which means they have the aforementioned display artifacts. That's sad because the Surface Laptop 4 is one of the best Windows laptops in terms of industrial design.

Samsung Ativ Book 9 first released more than 6 years ago has 3200x1800 13 inch screens... one of the best in the industry. Sadly Samsung is no longer making Windows laptops with that DPI anymore.

Open sourcing .NET under an Apache license was a great move. And so was making it cross platform. I surely missed C# my first few years without it.

I might recommend taking a step back and re-examining this stance and considering the possibility that there are people who disagree with your stance because they hold different opinions and values, not just because they’re dumb.
I don't think there are more than 2 exoplanets pictured:

"The two planets are visible as two bright dots in the centre (TYC 8998-760-1b) and bottom right (TYC 8998-760-1c) of the frame. Other bright dots, which are background stars, are visible in the image as well. By taking different images at different times, the team were able to distinguish these planets from the background stars. "
It feels like at first, Gitlab was trying to build a few great features, which is how we got CI, but then they started instead to focus on breadth, and that’s how we got everything else that’s now in the product.
I don't think we need to do that, but we do need to make sure corporations don't use the power they gain through those deals to make you endure the privacy abuses that come with a cloud requirement.
Yes, but student IDs don't even prove state residency (you can be a Florida resident but attend University of Texas in Austin), which is a basic requirement for voting.
In Mexico, as in the Confederate States constitution for some reason, there are six year presidential terms, without reelection prospects. Does it greatly alter governance?

I also question if you need to know what DNS is to know how URLs work. "This name is how your computer finds the website you are looking for" is sufficient for some level of knowing what a URL is and how it works.

I didn't claim there was, but at the same time I'm convinced there easily could be [1] if people play down security and don't take any precautions. Election fraud isn't uncommon around the world, and there is plenty of incentive. [[I do think Americans in general have been pretty good so far, but I'm no expert, and I'm not sure anyone could convince me 100% there is no fraud ever here]]

More importantly, I think it is necessary for everyone to /feel/ satisfied that the elections are fair to maintain faith in the system. Requiring IDs seems like an easy nod to that effect

When I switched to remote I thought “I’d take about a 25% pay cut to be full remote.”

Having done it for almost four years I’d probably take a 50% pay cut to stay remote.

It’s just completely life altering. Especially given I have two young kids I want to be deeply involved with raising.

>The more people there are, the larger the labor pool I can choose from. The larger the labor pool I can choose from, the more the workers' wages get depressed, so my profit margins get bigger.

This this true? It presumes a bigger labor pool competing for the same amount of available jobs, which isn't true. As the economy grows, there are also more consumers who demand more products, which requires more workers/jobs.

Then it was yugoslavia, and then slovenia (i didn't move, the country fell apart)... late 80s, and the whole 90s.

So large apartment buildings in large neighbourhoods with a lot of kids of same age there (due to the way apartments were distributed), and after school, if you were bored at home, you just went out, because someone was always outside.

Parents usually worked from 6am-2pm (factory workers) or 8am-4pm (administration), so they would come home after the kids, but this was seen as normal here. The elementary schools (6/7yo - 14/15yo here) were usually a walking distance from home in the cities, so we'd be by ourselves... High school usually ended somewhere between 1pm-3pm, and you'd take a bus ride home, and depending on where your parents worked, you might still be home before them.

We did have extra-curricular activities, but usually you did one thing (eg. had football practice twice per week for 2 hours if you werent a "pro" in your age group), but it was unusal to have your day totally filled up.

I don't have kids, but a lot of my friends do, and a half of them do it in a way as we did, but about half of them sign their kids up for every activity possible, so after school it's horseriding lessons, and then tennis practice, and then music school, so they drive them around for that.... I'm not sure how a busy schedule like that would work on me in that age, but i'm pretty sure i prefered the laid-back method, and I still had no issues, from elementary school to my engineering degree.
I was referring to transportation sector, not the energy production.

IIRC, 70% of crude oil is used in the residential (truck/car) and commercial sectors. There are some other applicable sectors like roads and lubricants but account for a few percentage points.

In the past increases in crude oil would cause increases in sales of high mpg vehicles. I remember when crude was $100 a barrel, the prius was flying off the dealerships.

With newer technologies and alternative fuel sources (electric), we should see similar trends with electric vehicle adoption if the price of crude should continue to climb.
You’re still ascribing agency and authority to a fancy vending machine. The server has absolutely zero authority to grant you authorization to the documents. It can only grant you access. The servers are not representatives of the government or the site-owners, they are just machines. And just because the vending machine is broken and works without you paying doesn’t make it not stealing.

It's the impression your post gives. Either I pick insecurity -or- it breaks.

And I care about accessibility too. That doesn't mean I indiscriminately want to increase access. The downsides of certain methods are important.
Can't edit my comment but thanks for pointing this out. For anyone not wanting to watch the video, apparently this release includes trackpad multitouch support comparable to elementary.

It looks like Ubuntu is now comparable to Elementary. I'm going to be trying this out ASAP. Ubuntu with Wayland does a much better job with high and mixed DPI display setups. Maybe now I won't have to choose between running my 4k display at full resolution and using my trackpad.
Well, the universe is full of rocks. “Intimate” may not be a great word (too anthropic and intangible), but writing off all these rocks as boring and banal is probably narrow sighted. Birds, sun and vegetation may feel intimate, but try to feel that without a rock right under your feet. They have a point, imo. We tend to ignore “default” things, but it doesn’t make them irrelevant, they are an important part of the setup. The next thing to feel intimate relationships with is gas (the universe is full of gas that produced you after all, isn’t that as close to “intimate” as it can get).
Unless we invent Nuclear Energy and do what France did in the 1970's and build a handful of reactors which provided for almost all of their energy needs, which uses a small amount of fuel plentifully found in Australia and Canada and which will last for 1000's of years, and, for which we actually do have feasible ways to store waste.

I'm guessing it's because Macs are a second-class-citizen when it comes to Blender's technology stack. Intel has a hardware-accelerated denoiser, Nvidia has hardware-accelerated ray tracing, and Macbooks have... pretty much none of that.

It's kind of hard to tell; Mexico has only had a few Presidential terms as something other than a fig-leaf democracy over a one-party corporatist state which freely used the power of the State to assure the dominance of the Party.
Not sure where you live but the popular models around here are the 15mpg types and the drivers are … not driving efficiently so they're unlikely to be reaching that. You will see a few of the higher-MPG models like a RAV4 but at the end of the day it's a physics problem: all of that extra weight, non-aerodynamic design, and over-powered engine add up.

Now, it's true that someone dropping all of the extra cash for one is less price sensitive but we're still talking a pretty big difference going from mileage in the teens to the 40+mpg a decent car gets. High gas prices would get at least some people to reconsider, especially since you have to pay a fair premium as well.
So sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story.
Because the market is imperfect. There is a profound information asymmetry between the consumer and the purveyor of high-tech products, and this asymmetry is exploited to raise the price of the product, in secret, without customer consent.

This is, of course, fraud. Why doesn't current law apply? I think it does. But courts are funny: when fraud becomes common and accepted, and people cease to recognize it as fraud, it becomes acceptable. In those cases, a new law is reasonable.

Peripheral might be complicated.

But I would like to see such a legislation for anything that is Turing-complete and sufficiently performant (e.g. can run Doom at 800x600 32bpp 60FPS).
Plus, the people who essentially bought their jobs would be hell to work with for those who were competent (and that's not saying standard interviews aren't themselves dystopian in many ways but just selling a job, if possible, would be a magnet for the utterly incompetent).

> People who care about policies are concerned with this.

Certainly not the loudest, party leaders, media, etc who have been telling us the problems they will have if voting required ID for years and years. Pretty terrible that they have been aware of this and have done really nothing to help those poor people except when it may affect them getting votes. Really makes you cynical about their motives and selfishness.

I'm sure it's easier said than done, but they're passing trillion dollar budgets, going to war and bombing the brown people in Syria and Libya, bailing out banks that caused housing collapses, etc. They absolutely could solve this problem with a tiny modicum of effort in comparison.

The really sad thing now with results like this is that they're likely to just stop caring about the problem entirely and forget these people if it doesn't actually affect their vote.

We should also keep in mind how privileged we are to be in the right place (US) at the right time.

A lot of my high school friends (in Queens NY) are turning 30 and still living with their parents, unable to move out because they have to help with rent and bouncing from one dead end job to another.

My significant other, who spent 3 years getting a graduate degree to work in healthcare is now deep in debt and trapped in a job that has her waking up at 4 am for 12 hour shifts that usually end up tuning into 14 hours, under constant stress taking care of patients on the verge of dying.

This article says Big Energy corps drill methane wells and then cheat the cost of plugging them by selling them to smaller companies that can't afford the plugging cost, thereby abandoning these wells to leak the potent greenhouse gas methane. I just tried to research how much methane is leaked and found this EPA report saying unplugged wells leak an average of 10.02 grams/hour of methane compared to 0.002 grams/hour for plugged:

https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2018-04/documents/gh...

But 10.02 grams doesn't seem like very much, considering livestock methane emissions (like cow farts and burps) were estimated in 2011 to produce 120 trillion grams of methane per year:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/samlemonick/2017/09/29/scientis...

So it certainly is a Big Energy sin, but there are graver stakes (involving gravy and steaks).
