"Three University of Florida professors were denied permission from the school to testify in a major voting rights case "

What the fuck is 'permission to testify'? I thought access to justice was a constitutional right. If you can't get anyone to tesrify, then you have no access to justice.

We have surrendered so many rights in various contracts, we hardly have any freedoms left.

> AT THE MOMENT, while the 'new owner' is listed in the Land Registry as owning it, and the 'old owner' isn't, the 'new owner' temporarily legally owns it

Not an expert on British law, but I don't think this is the case. The new owner owns it.

Not temporarily. Fully, permanently and properly. The previous owner was fraudulently deprived of it, and can likely get damages from the parties who signed off on the conveyance. But I don't think they have the right to reverse the transaction against the new owner's will.
This doesn't make sense to me. If you're on the extreme western end of a time zone, the clock time of sunset is later compared to points further east in the same time zone. So you're in better shape for post-work sunlight than anyone else in your time zone. The people who have it worst for post-work sunlight are the ones at the extreme eastern end of a time zone.
You do not actually need the bidi override control character to put a comment in an RTL language in the middle of LTR code.

You only need it if you are doing this, and the default Unicode algorithm for guessing LTR/RTL boundaries gets it wrong, so you need to override with an explicit bidi override control. I'm not even sure how feasible that is to do in current editor/IDE environments developers who have this use case might use.

I am genuinely curious how often these sorts of situations come up in actual development.

> What compilers can do is to process those characters and assign them semantic value that makes the code equivalent to what is expected to be rendered.

I don't understand what you mean or how that's even possible, for the kinds of attacks discussed in OP.
That's not what happened in the two states that alleviated DST (Arizona and Hawaii). They are always on winter time.
Yeah, Oompa Loompas wouldn't be able to get the whole nut out without breaking it.
This exact reason is why in the US you physically need to be in person to sign loan documents to purchase property. You need 2 forms of ID, verified by the parties, copies of it taken, and notarized.
Actually, belay that. I just tested with Monterey, and a new MBP, and it works the way that I expect. I need to use the built-in HDMI, but it works.
We shouldn't get rid of DST, we should just stay on it year round. The change is worthless, causes accidents, disrupts everyone's sleep all for nothing.
Before the invention of planned obsolescence...
This is really interesting to me.

How could side-loading be illegal? It's just software.

How would the state prevent vpns or tor users from connecting to Signal servers?

More importantly, what if users just use pgp in emails, etc.?
An under-reported benefit of weight lifting: near-total elimination of RSI, at least in my experience.

At some point a few years ago I decided to join a gym for the first time. While I improved my posture and BMI a good bit, I might be happiest with the elimination of RSI in my wrists and hands. It started out as something annoying in my 20s, and got very painful in my late 30s. Gyroscopes, powerballs, and other recovery devices never seemed to work.

What keeps me going 2-3 days per week, most weeks, is the knowledge that RSI will come back without lifting weights. At the onset of the pandemic I tried working out from home, and while better than nothing, it isn't comparable because of equipment selection.

If you have repetitive stress issues from being in front of a keyboard all day, try going to the gym and use the machines that work your arms and forearms. Keep going until you feel you feel the burn.

I'll be a gym member for life, or at least as long as I type into a keyboard regularly. Maybe that's zen for me--life without pain from regular keyboard usage.

MethaneSAT | Sr. Infrastructure Software Engineer, Sr. Product Manager, Data Processing Operations Sr. Manager, Mission Operations Sr. Manager | US Remote (remote-first)

Reducing methane emissions is the single fastest way to slow the rate of global warming today. In order to reduce emissions we first have to know where they're being emitted and who is responsible. The most effective way to do this on a global scale is from space, which is why we're launching a satellite to measure and attribute methane emissions. We are building tools to put in the hands of folks who will best be able to make the data actionable.

MethaneSAT is part of EDF, the Environmental Defense Fund.

> How does an average even makes sense, in such discrepancy in temperatures observed worldwide.

> Also, how do they account for urbanization effects (which in itself causes warming), and placement of thermometers around these areas.

Related to your worries, 11 years ago a group of physicists from outside the meteorology and climate science community, had similar worries. Maybe meteorologists and climate scientists haven't done a good analysis of the existing land surface temperature measurements? What about the urban heat island effect, growing cities, and moving measurement locations?

These physicists started the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature Project, went back to the original raw data, and reanalyzed everything, developing their own new statistical methods as needed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Earth

The result? The same observed warming rate as in the previous studies.

Maybe this kind of reanalysis needs to be done again every 10-20 years? Kind of like rewriting software from scratch.
Just about every data center in the US has a decent percent of its servers running as nodes of botnets for entities inside of China, not to mention the hundreds of millions of "smart" devices. That leaves out of the equation TickTock and Reddit and every other above-board Chinese communist party partly owned tech in the US.

Assuming that you know what your exact attack surface is is a pretty clear sign that you are very vulnerable to attack.
Turning arrays into objects has been a pretty big sore-spot for me over the years in JS. This would be a wonderful addition.

I do wonder if perhaps a more general option might be better. groupBy is flexible in how one can make keys, but not flexible about the values. I feel like I'll still end up with a lot of myArray.entries().reduce().

MLive is considered a relatively unbiased production. To call what they've presented as "narrative" reveals your own bias. Perhaps you'd prefer a source closer to your own proclivities [1] which states:

> Last week, the lawyer for one defendant filed a motion that included texts from an FBI agent to a key informant, the Iraq War veteran, directing him to draw specific people into the conspiracy — potential evidence of entrapment that he said the government “inadvertently disclosed.” He is requesting all texts sent and received by that informant, and other attorneys are now considering motions that accuse the government of intentionally withholding evidence of entrapment.

Here's a direct link to the motion [2]. If you'd like to count evidence presented to the court as "unsubstantiated" even with them in black and white (self-serving is moot, as each side of a prosecution is inherently self-serving), well then that's your prerogative - but it speaks to an inability to consider the possibility that your preconceived notions can be challenged.

The future is now. Android has been doing this for years and it's awesome. There's no text you can't copy.

To clarify, by default copy and paste works the normal way, but you can open the app switcher to use the OCR copy/paste which works on non-selectable text too, even in images.
> In Seattle, for example, I think the sun would rise before 5 am as late as early August. On the other hand, if Seattle stayed on DST (+7) year-round then the sun would rise after 8AM from early November to late February, and as late as 9AM in December.

Your comment points out the real absurdity which is why are so stuck on the machinations of numbers on a clock, and ~24 granular timezones rather than just having humans be human and 1) get the sleep they need and 2) be productive when it makes sense to, regardless of the digits.

I doubt pre-industrial people thought to hard about if they chopped wood at exactly 9am, or if it might have been 8:37 or even 11am.
This and un-filed liens are typically why you should always pay for owners policies on title. Otherwise if something comes up, you're royally fucked.

But that is how the House is explicitly defined in the US constitution: "Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers..."

Part of the problem is that the number of Representatives in the house has been fixed at 435 since the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929. There would be no "small/rural/unique regions aren't represented without drawing crazy district lines" argument if the number of people represented per US Rep were lower.

And, as we see now, the lines of districts are simply not drawn according to regional peculiar needs. They are drawn by party affiliation, by the parties themselves. Which is insane.
Yes I expect that, if pressed, the courts would void the entire transaction and restore the property. The land registry may be the arbiter of who currently owns what, but the courts are the arbiter of what "happened" according to the law.

Otherwise it sets an absurd precedent. If it was not some man's house but a critical piece of infrastructure, the courts are not going to stand idly by and let some random person take possession of Sellafield, or for that matter, Harrods.

But the existing owner will probably settle for compensation instead of fight a lengthy court battle.

The big difference is that the Democratic bills all are focused on making sure that more eligible voters can and will get out to vote. They are not picking out groups and trying to discourage those from voting, which many of the Republican attempts at the state level are pretty nakedly doing (e.g.: limiting things that are only done in urban areas, killing Sunday voting because "souls to the polls" drives were so successful in areas that voted Democratic, etc).

So, yes. It is very much not the same thing. The Republican efforts behind a "voting security" banner, when Republicans in charge of the 2020 vote called it "the most secure ever", is nakedly trying to disenfranchise the vote to tip power in their favor despite the majority of eligible voters going the other way.
I paid off my flat in Edinburgh back in 2016 or so, and in exchange I received a huge bundle of papers "the deeds", from the bank.

I spent a fun evening flicking through the records of owners, the price they'd paid for it, and the few details provided (occupation, etc). All dating back to when the building was built in 1890 or so.

Later I left the country, and moved to Finland. After a year or two here I wanted to sell the flat as I'd decided I wasn't going back. Despite going through the process of ensuring the registry was updated I had to mail them back to the solicators based in Scotland prior to selling the flat.

The sale was carried out 100% remotely; I had a couple of phone calls, and when I balked at the use of a FAX machine I printed out a few forms/documents from emails, signed them, and physically posted them back to the solicators.

Happily I'd had the foresight to leave a spare set of keys with a trusted friend, which were used for the viewings, etc. It probably helped that the solicator who handled the sale had also handled the registration of the deeds when I received them so they were probably confident it was a flat I owned..

When I queried things I was told "The only registry is definitive, but .. things are .. smoother .. with the physical deeds". Made no sense to me, but I wasn't going to argue.
