A scientist’s quest for an accessible, unhackable voting machine
I mean... based on how some people play Starcraft or Age of Empires, those are also idle games, lol.

For these Paradox Games ... games... its not about "waiting" for time, but instead about "parallel" decisions. I haven't played Victoria, but it takes 2 years to build a Battleship in Hearts of Iron 3.

You don't just, build one battleship and turn off your brain though. You decide to build a battleship, then move your troops around, or decide to equip artillery to all of your infantry divisions (which will take X months to build and deploy), or ... a myriad of other decisions.

All decisions individually are simple. But these grand strategy games are about keeping "track" of all the individual decisions and building a larger picture from it all.

I know some people cannot multitask and have no ambitions to learn the skill. But that's what these management simulators are all about (including competitive management simulators like Starcraft or Age of Empires :-p)
NSLs don't involve data feeds. The All Writs Act involves a judicial review and issuing of a judicial subpoena. A judicial subpoena may well involve ongoing data collection. NSLs are administrative subpoenas which aren't reviewed by the judiciary before being issued and limited in scope because of that. Actions taken "via All Writs Act" are not to enable NSLs.

Yeah that doesn't count. Stuff you don't do doesn't count.

CEOs are people who sign off quality of life for the people who buy the products/services that the company they lead is selling. And that is all there is to it. There is nothing tough or poetic about it. Sane people are scratching their heads at how some people are falling for the cult of the founder which started with Jobs.
Personally I don’t think they consider their users stupid. The problem is in the fact that they (teams, PMs, designers, engineers) exist. They have to do something. And these companies keep hiring more and more, staff more and more teams… So you end up with massive orgs that own relatively small surfaces. They all have perf reviews every few months, all have OKRs, all have the natural desire to make changes, build and refactor stuff.

There is just no way to endlessly improve a UI. At some point if you have 3K people work on it it will become a hot mess.

Indeed I have, and I disagree that attention is demanded in equal measure every instance. I still think there's a lot of leap frogging and waiting anyway for things to develop or interesting things to happen. Most of the time exploring the menu I'm anticipating what I would do, but have to wait for conditions to be met. Waiting is the name of the game.

So is twitter. At least in the last years it turned to absolute s*it.
In mid 2021 I resurrected my old long not used account. I made maybe 20 comments in 3 month before I got "banned". I'm probably not really banned I would just have to remove my last comment but I cant do that because I can not login anymore (which may or may not be related to the "banning").

The post in question was an obvious sarcastic wordplay/pun that even if interpreted literally would have meant something along the lines of "dead people wont complain" which is not only factually true its also rather soft dark humor.
As expected they lump everything together in their ToS so they can give you a paragraph of things as a reason and you dont know which rule you actually broke.
It is even worse for a music artist, on the Videos tab there is no sort at all.
this post demonstrates how laughably highly specific and ad-hoc the current infosec religion is

> first example

everyone will freak out here because the password is therefore stored in plaintext (well not necessarily but maybe depending on the hashing scheme). the cringe here is that the most immediate reaction of the security junkie will be OMFG PLAINTEXT, rather than the more obvious "problem" that it just told you the password of another account

of course none of this matters since you could just brute force every account anyway since the password is short

> second example

this is not a bad guess at how to implement this feature. not everyone knows about gotchas like secure cookies, despite being 20 year old problem

passwords also shouldnt need to be "securely stored somewhere". and you shouldnt expect any web dev to get that right

in reality, the web should be encrypted/authenticated by default, and not using CA bloat. a public key should uniquely identify a website. dns shouldnt exist. if the web was for static documents like it was meant to be and without millions of unneeded complications like CSS, you could replace a http://longkeyblahblah with <Google>. yes, really, not even css should exist. something you use for banking should not be the same thing you use for looking at magazines and ads.

> But it's still a password in a cookie and it's still not HTTP only and they had reflected XSS risks on the site.

more web infosec pro dogma. just dont have XSS. of course thats too much to ask for web standards since they will just extend the grammar in some way that adds XSS to your existing XSS-free code, but whatever lets pretend mitigation is the most important thing in the world while anyone can just use your account without needing your password in 99% of attacks concering things that are mitigated with hashing, keeping passwords in "secure places", and

now everyones gonna reply to me saying "well the layperson...". it doesnt matter. all the things i talked about are things the user has to solve himself otherwise he will be hacked, no matter how many bandages and "best practices (TM)" you use.

tl;dr youre all stupid, your beliefs about security are WRONG, and your software has the same needlessly stupid shit, like apache commons absolutely critical vuln that exists for absolutely no reason, last week.

see, the problem here, is that for 15 years ive been saying "just do it right", and people have been "arguing" that it will take a year to fix all the current broken standards (like the web not having a proper way to do authentication, being vuln to CSRF by default, not providing safe ways to compose DOM, etc). instead, year after year you give yourself applause for implementing the latest password hashing algo and cargo cult like JSONP to work around fundamental problems that will never be fixed in the web that should have died in 2003. you think my post is toxic but really the fact that the 99%er webdev mocks people for not knowing about secure cookies or some other web workaround, makes the 99%er webdev toxic (and they spread their bad products around toxicly, to boot).

> Quartz watches are superior in almost every metric: [...] are far easier to repair.

Not at all. Repairing a broken quartz mechanism almost always means replacing vast swaths of it, if you're not replacing the watch entirely. In the case of quality quartz movement analog watches, the rest of the movement is mostly identical to mechanical watches.

Now then, for a compromise, I recommend solar powered analog watches. They have the best of both worlds, a perpetually powered and satisfying mechanism controlled by a quartz movement. I do wish they had faster beats (ticks of the second hand), but I get why they don't.

Yes, I was thinking of something like this when I heard he bought Twitter. He's not stupid obviously. Turning over content moderation to an AI that is open source might shut a lot of people up. Have a complaint? Go look at the source code to see how you are getting filtered.
The problem seems to be that large companies don't want to be associated with certain 'deplorable' content but at the same time, they don't want to vacate those spaces and thereby allow other companies (I.e. competitors) to target and acquire those 'deplorable' customers... They'd prefer it if those 'deplorable' spaces simply did not exist on these platforms.

If this is the case, it is anti-competitive. Companies should not prevent new markets from forming around growing new ideologies and communities (regardless of how deplorable they find them). Companies have to choose; stay true to their current ideology and miss out on new market opportunities or embrace changing ideologies and risk losing some of their existing user base.

Then how does Twitter make money?

According to their latest quarterly report they had $1.18B in revenue, $1.08B from advertising. Is there really enough potential in "premium users" or something else to forgo that billion dollars per quarter?

He’s apparently restored Kanye West’s account already. I’m not sure what he’s thinking here. Mainstream advertisers are allergic to overt, explicit anti-semitism. Twitter becomes a right-wing ghetto if you drive off all of the non-MAGA people. All the wingnut welfare and MyPillow ads in the world can’t keep Twitter societally relevant.
Both still have profitable businesses and communication channels. Both are celebrities that still have large fanbases. If and when they end up poor and forgotten, then they'll be canceled, now they just lost the privilege of being promoted via some media channels.

With the government? Yes. Within a community? It's more complicated than that. Is someone coming into a community posting the n-word or just being incredibly abrasive/offensive "pushing the line" or just being a troll? Online communities get to set their own rules and if you want to buck that trend then try to get support to change those rules or create your own community where you can make the rules.

> I actually started working on the port for Nintendo Switch before the Steam Deck was even announced, so first I will finish what I started. Currently the controller support is optimized for and built around the Nintendo Switch system, the Joy-Con™ controllers, and their features. There's still more work to be done for generic controller support, such as dealing with the many controller types, handling mods, ability to switch between "keyboard and mouse" and "controller" modes, etc. Also I want to make it a priority to focus on the initial feedback coming from Nintendo Switch players, to make sure any bigger issues are ironed out quickly. So generic controller support is planned, just that like most things, it will take some time.

(from the previous blog post on the switch - https://factorio.com/blog/post/factorio-on-nintendo-switch but not mentioned in this one)
Well you can unsubscribe from those people who tend to retweet stuff you don't agree with. You are free to seal yourself into your filter bubble as much as you want... Just don't try to seal other people into filter bubbles that they never agreed with. You should only have a say about your own filter bubble.

If someone wants to be brainwashed in a particular way by limiting their exposure to alternative ideas, they are free to do that to themselves! But if someone wants to expose themselves to as many diverse ideas as possible and open up their minds as much as possible, then they should also be free to do that!

If this ends up posing a threat to a small number of elites... Maybe it means that these people have too much exposure and power anyway. Maybe society should be reorganized so that power is more spread out; giving up some power is a good way to reduce the number of one's problems and enemies. That's what the British Royal family did; and that's why they still have their heads on their shoulders.

Kinda, depending on how big factories you build. Right now it has a limitation that makes it like a very large/long demo. From the submission page:

> I'm getting "std::bad_alloc" when trying to load a save file.

> You are trying to load a save file that is too big and the console has run out of memory

Guess at one point, if you keep on expanding the factory, you won't be able to load the savegame anymore. Might get fixed in the future though?

Only in theory. In practice the head of the Commission has the ability to veto the countries proposals, an ability you won't find in any treaty because it's not meant to exist. Nonetheless, Juncker said:

https://www.rp.pl/swiat/art1359931-juncker-kaczynski-nie-chc...

"Nobody knows this, but last time I rejected six commissioners that had been presented to me by national governments.

Also from Central Europe?

Yes.

From Hungary?

Not.

From Poland?

Not. If I wanted it to be made public, I would have done it long ago. Let me just remind you that governments only propose commissioners, but it is the President of the European Commission who accepts them and divides their competences between them, and the European Parliament approves or rejects it."

The EU spreads a lot of misinformation about its own operations. Here Juncker "reminds" the journalist of an arrangement that is explicitly not allowed by the treaties, which say the head of the Commission must accept whoever is sent by each country. He also admits that "nobody knows this" and that he never made it public. In case you think he would have accepted a right wing commissioner, let us recall this is the same man who railed against "stupid populists", said "The European Parliament is ridiculous, very ridiculous" and kept threatening eastern European countries that elected conservative governments with fines and sanctions. Von Der Layen is even worse, reacting to Italy's recent election of a right wing politician by saying that "if things go in difficult directions, we have tools".

What happens in reality doesn't match what's written in the treaties much of the time. It's very effective misinformation. This thread is full of people making claims about how the EU works that reflects its own claims (or propaganda), but doesn't match the documented reality of how Brussels decision making actually operates.
