>People working multiple jobs with children simply don't have time to wait down at the DMV for three hours (if you're lucky) to be able to vote.

This is a tired trope considering that according to BLM statistics only about 5% of workers hold multiple jobs and I doubt most of them have children and can't spare a single half day to get the ID that they are required to show proof of employment eligibility in the first place.
Perhaps my philosophy of life may help; enjoy it, while you may.
This will be true provided that states make an effort to assure that all can obtain the required ID, for free (any fee to vote would violate the 24th Amendment) and don't play games to try to make it harder for some groups than others.

Examples of ways to put your thumb on the scale:

* refuse to accept college IDs as valid for voting, even those issued by the state government because it's a state school (college students are more likely to vote for the "wrong" party). Hunting licenses? Cool (people with hunting licenses are more likely to vote for the "right" party).

* prevent college students who live most of the year in-state, and can prove it, but have an out-of-state driver's license, from voting.

* place extra hoops on people whose name doesn't match their birth certificate, make them produce every document with every change and toss their registration if there's a typo (this mainly affects married women, who are more likely to vote for the "wrong" party). This is an effective way to disenfranchise a lot of older women who don't have a current driver's license.

* close as many DMV offices as you can in counties where people don't vote your way, restrict the hours on the remaining offices.
And yet if I do just open the door to the Mayor's office and it's unlocked and I wander in, that's still not the same sort of trespass as entering someone's home.

And, if I'm in City Hall, the mechanism that keeps me from entering the Mayor's office should be the security guards and key-cards, not my disinclination to open a door.

Yeah individual voter fraud, per all the vote security experts, basically isn't a thing, IE the rare instances never change election outcomes. Voting ID laws are at best security theater for non existent threats.

At worst it's a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise minority voters, for example the NC voting law, where the legislature requested info on racial differences in how people vote before creating their bill.

Of course this suggests that efforts to GOTV helped mitigate the voter ID requirements, which is part of why GOTV efforts and other support for people voting is being targeted now in many states.

A minor but important correction. Krebs wrote that the Gov claimed that “fixing the flaw could cost the state $50 million.” That’s not quite right. In the press conference linked in Kreb's post, the Governor actually claims that the “incident alone may cost Missouri taxpayers up to $50 million.” I’d guess this number includes an estimate for the legal cost of dealing with the data breach plus any statutory penalties the state might incur (plus a grossly inflated price for fixing the bug).

>...and +1.4 percentage points for the effect on the turnout of nonwhite voters relative to whites

>the likelihood that nonwhite voters were contacted by a campaign increases by 4.7 percentage points, suggesting that parties’ mobilization might have offset modest effects of the laws on the participation of ethnic minorities.

So, what they're saying here is that increased efforts to contact minority voters (ostensibly endeavored because the laws were interpreted as punitive towards that group) may have resulted in a slight increase in turnout sufficient to overcome suppressed numbers.

There is also anecdotal evidence that these laws make some in groups who feel targeted by them more determined to vote as a matter of principle (irrespective of campaign outreach efforts).

At the end of the day, however, the requirement that some voters wield outsized determination is not exculpatory for those who seek to disenfranchise them, and these efforts don't stop with voter ID laws. Poll location closures leading to massive overcrowding and long waits in select areas; outlawing efforts to make those who wait more comfortable by, for example, providing water; attenuated hours at select locations; weekend closings; outlawing Sunday/church-sponsored efforts to vote; curtailing of mail-in ballots, etc are just some of the surgically targeted tactics employed.
For me, because Ubuntu just works for everything I need it to. So I have not found the need to try a different distro.
The perception of fraud is entirely due to loser politicians telling their supporters that they only lost due to fraud, and no amount of voter ID laws will change that.
I am in the process of learning Clip Studio Paint by doing some October themed dailies. CSP has gotten a strong rep among indie illustrators for its usability and mix of raster and vector functions. The vector tools I think are particularly outstanding - you can build a whole workflow around line art using vector erase(which automatically chops your selection to the nearest intersection). It also has some great conveniences for scene building with poseable 3D mannequins, perspective rulers and an asset store.
My understanding was that Boeing wanted to prevent Airbus from winning contracts and so pushed the schedule hard. That's the sales and marketing division talking isn't it?
Personally, I hold the panentheistic ("all in God") view. It's very similar to pantheism; the distinction is that pantheism would say Universe=God, and panentheism would say Universe⊂God.

What matters is that we're all on the same page. Everyone is generally okay with voting ID requirements as long as they're free and everyone is okay with lower costs/lower time investments to get IDs. The fact of the matter is that state budgets are finite and very few politicians are ever going to choose to fund DMVs over schools or public works. As such, we collectively choose to remain in stalemate until such a time when our DMVs function smoother so that we can make IDs free and then require them to vote.
Next time I’m asked what data scientists do, I’m sending them this email exchange. This conversation likely resulted in a few sleepless nights for a couple of Apple data scientists.
It's even worse than that. I think a better analogy would be that you've requested the doctor mail you your records and instead the doctor ships you his entire filing cabinet with your folder taped to the top and a note saying "read this one." (but no mention about why the filing cabinet is there too)

They weren't just in the open. A copy of these records were pushed, unsolicited, to the user's device and the user simply looked at what was sent to them.
I've been looking at Kinesis Money as a potential investment and hedge. They have a KVT - Kinesis Velocity Token, which cannot be sold to investors in the US, unless they are accredited investors.

Oh, I've just read on axios about the new "voting rights" bill. As expected, the bill is a book-worth of boilerplate that obscures the important details, but if you search for "identification", you'll see what they're trying to do there.

Again, if this is how software was developed, this bill would be a pull request with 5000 changed files and a million changed lines, mostly refactoring, but there will be a few tiny changes that break the security model. Of course, when you try to point this out, they try to shout you down.

Yes, that's the problem. There needs to be more text/image guides as eddieh said. This used to be the norm. Now everything is a video. Worse, existing text/image guides are allowed to rot or removed outright in favor of video. Not everyone learns well from video.

I had no issues with snaps. If anything, I wish more userspace software is provided via snap packages.
Alien and Sedition acts argue otherwise.

I do believe the 2nd President successfully jailed journalists for this for years, leading to the Supreme Court deciding to you know, do something about it.

Things are only as strong as the political will believes they are strong. There was a period in the 1800s where the Supreme Court was ignored for example. The Supreme Court of the late 1700s did want to protect the 1st Amendment and they did win the political battle vs Adams. But under different circumstances, a different result could have very much happened.
One perspective to look at "global weirding" is that global climate change right now is seeing a massive influx of new energy, and not all energy becomes heat. So the volatility implied in "global weirding" doesn't necessarily mean we'll see much in the way of record lows/record cold places (though we'll still see some), but we'll see more energy in the climate in general: stronger winds, stronger storms, more storms, storms in different places "than usual".

We're seeing a lot of that indeed: this is the second tropical storm season in a row we've exhausted the prepared number of about 22 alphabetical "English first names" and have moved on to Greek letters and other stopgaps.

We've seen tropical storms hit more places, including some big activity in what used to be "far north" for tropical storm season such as New York state.

We've seen an expansion/shifting of "Tornado Alley" in the United States. States that never previously had tornado drills have had to add them and start trying to educate their residents.

We have seen some record snow storms and some record single day lows in many cities, especially in "wind chill" lows that factors in increased cold wind velocity, even if no one city can claim to be that much cooler than it was before.

Exactly. It should be provided by the US Government to anyone with citizenship, free of charge and at max convenience.

It's well beyond time for a universal federal ID card, which could serve numerous purposes such as voting, general identification, more easily getting a passport, travel, government benefits & programs, and so on. You get one at birth and then update the photo every N years or if you need to change pertinent information. When I was born I got a Social Security card, there's no reason that shouldn't have been a multi-purpose national ID card instead.

You're the one struggling. You just agreed with what I said earlier: you did a swap from real Bitcoin (actual BTC that was mined and sits in a wallet) into a "promise" of said Bitcoin.

That doesn't increase the BTC supply. It's just shadow book keeping outside the blockchain. You made new "money", not new BTC.

You can have multiple CUDA versions installed at once, it’s not exclusive.
I've personally tried some of those. Ubuntu simply works. I hate most of their defaults, most add bugs, Ubuntu is what most cloud providers use if you're a dev, every software provider targets Ubuntu if they target Linux, and so on.

You can install Ubuntu and it'll work. Easy. No other distro I've tried (Fedora, Suse, Manjaro, Mint, Mageia) is as easy.

That's exactly right, the car industry has done a remarkable job maintaining interface compatibility for over a century despite massive implementation changes.

Someone who knew how to "hit the brakes" on a 1908 Model-T will be able to do it in my 2021 Toyota. Despite the fact that my car has regenerative breaking (and ABS and other things) which means that how the pedal does its thing is totally different.

Even the new additions over the basic interface feel pretty optional. EG, my car has radar cruise control but someone can drive the car for 10 years and not notice that button. If you want to drive my car the same way you drove the Model-T, you pretty much can.

Why threat hunting is key to cyber resilience–and how to get started
Every moment of our existence brings about a certain amount of suffering, and a certain amount of joy.

Depending on our choices and intentions, the amounts of joy and suffering for both us and other viewpoints varies.

I believe that Universe is continuously solving for the maximum sum amount of joy from all the viewpoints combined.

Of course, a certain amount of suffering is required to bring about the joy, whether by providing a comparison, or by carving our abilities and motivations.

When I set my intentions for maximum joy and follow through on them, the Universe "likes" and "assists" this in amazing and miraculous ways, which bring about even more joy, and so on.

We are truly fortunate to exist in a Universe which is set up this way.
Fischer could have proactively added a reminder of that in the second email. But it seems like a minor problem, at worst.

There is also a gas guzzler tax that only applies to cars. If it was applied evenly, most trucks and SUVs would be paying a tax penalty for poor mileage. So there is a kind of indirect government subsidy to bigger vehicles. It is a dumb policy, but it's not why people like SUVs.
There was never a transmission of Buddhism that rejected all of the core teachings and doctrine. Why would you even want to call yourself a Buddhist if you reject Buddhism? It is just fashion to these people. It’s like being a communist who thinks private ownership of the means of production is good, it makes no sense.

Also, your idea of what Chan is like is very ahistorical and orientalist. It has always been steeped in tradition, why do you think so many massive monasteries were built in the mountains? Not only that but each monastery was even themed around a specific sutra. If you think it is “free wheeling” you should read the reports in the Platform sutra. It’s clearly just as formalised and rigid as other Buddhist traditions.

> The politicians are awful, but in a democracy, the fault for that lies 100% with the people.

Democracy is a convenient way for the ruling class to hand-pick the people who are allowed to run for office and blame the voters for any bad results. There's research showing that there's very little correlation between the policy goals of the voting public and policy outcomes, but there's a strong correlation between policy goals of the ruling class and policy outcomes.
Steam Proton is the way to do it now.
I like and support all of these ideas -- trying to go off grid, becoming more self-sufficient, reducing consumption -- but I will just add that few people/families historically have been entirely self-sufficient. It turns out that such a thing is a lot of work and really hard or impossible to maintain, depending on what your goals are. Even the Europeans that were settling in America in the 1700s were likely not self-sufficient -- there was plenty of gifting and trade throughout.

The key is your community. If shit really does hit the fan, I'd imagine that your chance of survival is much higher if you have a community around you where there is mutual support, rather than being entirely alone in a 200 acre woodlot.

(Not saying that your goal is to be 100% self-sufficient -- just pointing this out because I've idealized this before. It's an understandable reaction to the craziness of the modern world.)
Kind of... The AT&T data wasn't public, Weev & Co. had to build a script to generate plausible ICCIDs which they then 'challenged' the AT&T servers with the URL containing the ICCID. If it was a valid iPad ICCID and registered with AT&T, the server would reply with the email address registered to it.

That seems materially different to just F12ing a website and seeing plaintext Social Security numbers.

My setup for last 3 years is Ubuntu with i3wm (gaps) and NIX as a package manager. I keep Ubuntu as it is, just upgrade OS packages from time to time. All custom setup goes to nix package manager. This way I have more flexibility there and up to date tools that I use. I have all dependencies in a repo, so can quickly spin-up the same desktop environment in another computer if needed, as an example I do it between my personal and work laptop. This is preatty handy and I don't feel any difference switching between computers.

You probably don't recall how bad Gnome 3 was initially, and how much better Unity was over Gnome 2. Sure it also had its issues in the beginning, but it took a really long time for Gnome 3 to catch up.

I am pretty sure flatpak didn't exist when snap was announced. Or it was around the same time.

Indeed -- it is like if arguments were things to transport, and analogies were cars... wait, no, they are railroad cars.

So the argument is a heist occurring on a train, so we've got the thing that we're trying to heist (which would be our point) and then we're shifting it from one car to another. And some of the analogies here are clearly like passenger coaches, but others are more like those... coal transporting car, whatever they are called... and at some point we move to the inappropriate railroad car and drop the point in the coal which obscures it.

Anyway, the point is that at some point you really just hope that some conventional train robbers will show up and derail the whole thing because it has gotten too convoluted to follow.
