> I would note that it's possible for both to be true: A) this was the most secure election in US history, B) there are still some meaningful security issues to iron out. For example between 2016 and 2020, DRE machines were being phased out (28.9 -> 11.4%), so in that regard we do seem to be more secure than in the past.

> And I want to be clear -- I think the detailed content of that Guardian article is broadly fair, even if they do engage in some sloganeering.

Perhaps, but these articles are misinformation (Misinformation is incorrect or misleading information. It is differentiated from disinformation, which is deliberately deceptive.)

I think it is very interesting how when our geopolitical rivals engage in misinformation, it's a super big deal (regardless of whether there is actual evidence supporting the claim), but when our politicians and media do it it's "fair".

> I think this is an honest evaluation of the evidence RE: specific claims of voting fraud in 2020. (Though I'm always interested to hear folks' best evidence to the contrary.)

It may be, but this does not erase the coordinated deception that took place - and this is just one instance of deceit.

And, there was a time not so long ago where the burden of proof lied with the one making the assertion, only recently has the convention changed to the burden of proof being on anyone who questions the official narrative.

> If there was vote tampering, it should have been detected by a recount somewhere. But we don't see that.

Similarly, I "should" quit smoking and join the gym, but I ain't seeing much of that either.

If "seems about right" is the standard election officials think is applicable to their role, I'd like for them to make an explicit announcement so everyone is on the same page about what kind of a show we're running here.
Absolutely ace effort, do it for the love of it and great things can happen that would otherwise require mountains of both engineers and bureaucracy!
It's a NEW browser in every sense of the word - a new rendering and JS engine, not built on top of Chromium's (or Firefox's) backends. It's impressive because most people have a few preconceived notions: a) It is impossible to build a NEW browser given the complexity and huge history, b) browsers need to rely on JIT and other tricks. This browser is new hobby project, from scratch, breaks away from the preconceived notions of what a browser should be, and gives a glimpse of a future where another open-source project has some influence in web standards instead of the monolith companies that we have now (this is a pipe-dream of course, but we're in a better position now than we were a year ago).

Edit: And I would say to others, please don't downvote a question because I think it was genuine and not meant with malice - and provides a good learning opportunity for EVERYONE
assuming Twitter stays exactly as it is, I'd agree.

But it's clear with the planned changes that they're turning paid blue check accounts into the equivalent of the ads you see at the top of your Google search, placed above 'organic' results.
In a free market, soaring demand would see the price go up, entrepreneurs would enter the market increasing supply or providing substitutes, reducing prices.
> Way back, it used to be you got an NNTP server bundled with your ISP which was ok, because you were the only customer who knew what that was and how to use it, so you weren't creating a lot of load on your ISP. Even then, the NNTP server didn't carry much content, wasn't well maintained, didn't save much

In the UK, Demon Internet in the 90s maintained a usenet server for customers and one for non-customers (pubnews.demon.co.uk). They carried plenty, had decent retention, and were very well maintained. And busy too. Demon were the largest consumer ISP at the time IIRC. So, at least over here, what you say doesn’t match my recollections.

(I worked at Demon in 1998; if either news server went down I had to fix it if I could, or raise 3rd line expertise otherwise, 24/7)

Most folks "know" far more about succession in authoritarian regimes from heroic fiction, TVTropes, and the Evil Overlord list than they do from actual history.
This is great! I wish it was a bit more opinionated and gave for example 1 or 2 http server option(s). I don't know under which criteria though
Try one of the following on your Macbook:
- replace a battery
- upgrade the memory or SSD/NVME
- get your data off a Macbook whose motherboard has died

In other words, do any of the common repairs. To spend top dollar for a laptop and not be able to do repairs is rubbish: intentional planned obsolescence and vendor lock-in IMO.
The problem is he incentive to squeeze money out of ads because there’s less innovation happening elsewhere. Yes they’re M* chips but I mean big innovation.

how do we ever break the cycle of growth at all costs demanded of public companies?
I think the relevant figures here would be how much of each countries' banks' balance sheets are de facto liabilities to the state. I can buy that Chinese banks incur more liability for their government than Indian banks do for theirs; I don't buy the idea that China is 100% liable for its banks' balance sheets while India is 0% liable for its banks' balance sheets.

Thanks for the update on that! Do you have any numbers at the improvement we will likely see with this firmware release Nirav?
I did not state that $8 is a license to do whatever you want. Twitter has said that Twitter Blue is now going from $5 to $8 and that it will include the badge, less ads, and priority positioning in replies. Nowhere did they say that giving them money for Twitter Blue was going to require anything more than it already does.
It's most likely that the Telco Director was lying out of his posterior, trying to scare Twitter into doing what they wanted with vague threats of "your competitor will get this money otherwise".

It's called a bluff.
I don't see how they're mutually exclusive. I use union types prior to typeguards to end up with ultimately checked, cast values. Say I have a boolean fetched from JSON as "1" or "0". By the time I expose it to the rest of the code as part of a Record, I want to change it to an actual boolean. At first I'm going to treat the inbound value as a union type, e.g. (String | Number | null | undefined | Error). After I deal with the error cases, I'm going to cast it (or in TS, reinitialize it as a single type, boolean) so that any code looking at the imported value sees it as definitely only a boolean without needing to have lots of different pieces of code run their own checks on its type.

I can tell my experience. Not just me but everyone I know moved from poverty to lower-middle or middle class in just 20 years. When I was 5 years old, we were living in a village with no electricity. Having 2 square meals was a luxury only some house holds had. Many farmers & daily wage workers had only enough to eat one meal a day. My family's biggest fear while I was growing up was what will happen if my father felt sick and couldn't work. I am thankful those days are behind us.
> The hardware on apple laptops is rubbish

Out of curiosity, what parts of the hardware do you find rubbish?

The hardware seems fantastic to me. The M1/M2 chips, trackpad, keyboard, fingerprint reader, Liquid Retina screens, audio, etc. are all great compared to other laptops I've had. Wifi and Bluetooth are also more reliable on my MBP than any other laptop I've owned. The only thing I can think of is that it's not upgradable like a Framework laptop or the old butterfly keyboards.
Safe languages are computationally more expensive and consume more RAM, the Amiga had it hit price targets ($1300~) which meant they gave it an affordable CPU in the 7 Mhz Motorola 68000 series and started at only 256 KB.

It is one of those moments in history where hardware was more expensive than time, so spending longer on unsafe languages (e.g. fixing bugs caused by lack of memory safety) was preferable compared to the expensive context-switching often required by safe languages.

Safe languages are a natural choice when hardware is cheaper than programmer time.
It seems the intent is to encourage the students to engage with topics they find disagreement in by debate and questioning, rather than through shouting, intimidation and disruption, as some have been doing.
The small SE never was upgraded to anything resembling recent hardware. It‘s pretty much iPhone 6 level tech - no surprise demand was falling.

> Two spaces after a sentence make paragraphs easier to parse.

Correct. Most readers of any legal document have zero interest in sipping and savoring each word as if the document were a fine wine. Readers want to learn — as quickly as possible — "what do I need to care about," and then move on to the next item on their to-do lists. Two spaces after a sentence help the reader do that (as do short, single-subject paragraphs).
This makes absolutely no sense given how everybody in China knows that western countries are richer. China is not North Korea, there is no information blackout. The average Chinese knows a lot more about, say, the US than the average American about China.

Chinese policies are meant to solve Chinese problems (whether they are successful is a different discussion). The government is in the business of producing results, ideology is secondary.
I'm not sure what what to think of the article because I think the definition he chose for technical debt is extremely reductive.

No, technical debt does not only come from taking shortcuts. I would even go as far as saying that most of the time it does not come from taking shortcuts.

- You wrote a perfectly engineered system in Cobold 30 years ago that was state of the art then? Well, now all your Cobold developers have retired and you need to add new features to that tool. It's tech debt.

- Your tool was built to support 100 users but now it needs to support 100M? It's tech debt.

- You were getting some data from the Google Stadia API? Tech debt.

- You're using a library that just got an important security update? Tech debt.

As another commenter pointed out, the term "debt" was wrongly chosen. It's not debt. It's stuff that used to be perfectly fine and due to no fault of yours is not anymore.
You’re confusing the conditionality of these: they’re not in conflict. They’re both means to the same unavoidable end: Twitter needs to make money, probably even be profitable, in order to not pose a rise to Musk’s other ventures.

He can make people pay, or not, or jack up tracking, or not. It doesn’t matter to me! The point is solely that he needs to do something.
This could just be a narrative he’s pushing because he’s trying to curry favor with Republicans right now. If he needed a favor from Dems he’d probably be talking about how congress is too slow to act and we need a united legislature.
I've used an app called Wake Up Light for a while with my Lutron dimmers and HomeKit. You set up some basic parameters and it generates a series of automations that gradually dims the light up to a specified brightness at a specified time. It makes waking up easier for me when it's dark outside.
sounds like your stuck in the past, two spaces after a paragraph has been a dead convention for years by this point.
Yes, and again, a business with a PO Box and a registered agent will be deemed "sketchy" by this judge, and more generally by the judicial system and in some cases the IRS as well.

I realize a lot of business do this, and have survived fine, but that's not the point I'm making.
To give a counter example, here in Sweden, SMS&MMS are used quite a lot. Including bidding for housing. And it's not due to a lack of alternatives.
From legal stand point, what's the difference between this and lobbying?
To also clarify I do think Twitter is a dead man walking, so something will take over. Hopefully AT will deliver.
It always makes me smile to see Hog Bay Software releases get such positive attention. Jesse Grosjean is one of the only indie developers of note that I am aware that are based in Maine. Makes myself, the aspiring iOS developer, not feel so alone in this state. :)

What Jesse is doing here for rich text editing is astounding, to me, and is exactly the type of advancement that the popular word processing apps should take note of.
11th gen owners aren't going to be happy. That laptop isn't even a year old and it's already being left behind for upgrades. This doesn't bode well for the core value proposition of framework. At the very least they should offer a deep discount for 11th gen owners wanting to upgrade their main boards.
Try Factor. It's like Lisp/Scheme except even more homo-iconic and succinct.
Well you could argue he wasn't running SolarCity until it was acquired by Tesla.
At least the EU hasn't regulated away the possibility of this to some brilliant idea. To me it's also pretty solid - the built in dongle as it is means i can use my laptop on my lap with different wires - or on my work bench with less clutter...
See https://faq.whatsapp.com/643144237275579/?helpref=platform_s...
Purchased one to try for work (perks of being in the IT department), just arrived today. Personally interested in running FreeBSD on it, and wanted to see how possible that is and what doesn't work (see https://xyinn.org/md/freebsd/wifibox for excellent write-up). Officially I need to test Ubuntu Desktop and Windows on it, but here are my initial impressions to date:

- quality is extremely high; I expected something to suffer for the cost, but it strikes me as a nicely manufactured laptop in every respect

- initial configuration, adding in external ports, memory and nvme drive, took all of 10 minutes from laptop opening to closing again ... amazing job they've done

- every bit of the insides of the laptop is labeled, it's clear and clean and there are 2d barcodes you can scan for all components to get instant documentation

- bios is legit, modern, nicely laid out, simple to configure

- from order to delivery took a few weeks, nothing extreme. Came direct from Taiwan

- the keyboard has nice raised keys, and I'm super comfortable typing on it. Only issue for me coming from a Mac, the function and control keys are swapped on the left side, but that's easy to fix up... overall, one of the nicest keyboards I've seen on a laptop

- weight feels like a current Macbook Air, just a little larger dimensions overall

- switches to hard turn off camera and microphone on the top ... nice!

Overall I'm extremely pleased with this laptop, and I'm thinking there is zero reason I'm spending so much money with Dell (our current standard). I was thinking of using Lenovo, but screw that.. if my testing pans out, this is our new standard.
Which is why I included persecute, which is what people do in many cases online. I think it's good practice to not persecute others until you have sufficient evidence.

That can mean not making judgement based on things which are generally true in cases where it can damage another's reputation or result in the internet mob descending on them.
I'm running an nVidia GTX1080 in an eGPU enclosure connected to my framework and it works pretty well. Have to disable the Intel Iris card in device manager to get games to use the 1080 and then re-enable it before you undock, but other than that, it's seamless.

I love it.
Exactly this. Musk announced buying Twitter, immediately liquidated $10B of Tesla stock without deal being even written down and when Twitter's shareholders decided that they want to be bought, Musk started backing off. It was never an intention to buy Twitter. It was a miscalculation and he ended up stuck with Twitter.
Identity politics are antithetical to marxist theory but not necessarily to the marxist movements as they actually existed.

Here, things get more complicated because there were marxist movements all over the world, from Africa to Asia to Russia, and each had different motivations and often different goals.

In Russia, marxism was always about identity first and foremost, primarily the identity of various outcast/conquered groups: poles, jews, germans, lithuanians, etc. that were in the conquered regions in the Western part of the Empire - primarily the regions that used to be held by Poland. The abstruse economic theories served as a type of schelling point for a coalition of minorites against the Russian Orthodox majority, and after the revolution there was a systematic effort to suppress Russian identity and replace it with a new "Soviet" identity -- e.g. if you look at the list of Soviet general secretaries, only one of them was Russian (although there is some debate as several of the secretaties had mysterious, and in some cases, clearly invented pasts). There were explicit anti-Russian policies put in place, for example there were communist parties in all the provinces except the Russian province, which had no communist party, and thus no road for advancement except to join the overall Soviet Communist Party, but that preferenced non-Russians for membership.

Similarly when the Soviets drew the borders of various provinces, they explicitly made the minority provinces much larger, dragging in traditional Russian lands, even as they created local minority communist parties that barred Russians from participation, effectively meaning that 1/3 of Russians were living in an explicitly non-Russian province, even though often times they were the majority population in that province.

A good book that covers this topic in depth is Terry Martin's "Affirmative Action Empire" - https://www.amazon.com/Affirmative-Action-Empire-Nationalism...

At the same time, Marxism in other areas had a decidedly nationalist tone - for example in Africa, Indonesia, Vietnam or other nations fighting colonialism. Here, too, it was identity and nationalism that was the motivating factor and not the economic theories.

Really class-based movements are generally limited to the "West" -- e.g. Western Europe and North America. I'm not saying that class isn't important elsewhere, but when you look at what animates radical movements throughout the world, it's almost always race/religion/language that plays the dominant role, and this is as true for marxist movements as for other types of movements.

> I wonder how did they get into poverty in the first place

Humanity has always, by current standards, been dirt poor and living near starvation levels.

The last 250 years of industrialism has changed that enormously.

To answer your question, they got into poverty because they had always lived in poverty, since the dawn of time.
Certainly not. In this regard, Tesla is no worse (and very possibly better) than most other manufacturers. My point was about potential and future profit; that kind of data is hard to resist in a less hospitable market.

Were I to own a car, I’d probably in the same boat as you.
No, sadly this is legal and most apps are doing it. Heck, the cellular carriers are directly selling your location regardless of what apps you use.

Why the hell are they entering this grubby, grubby industry? They leave money on the table all the time - they have banged on for years about their whole philosophy of saying No to a thousand things for everything they say Yes to - why have they said yes to this?

Aside from a handful of RPIs, my entire family uses Apple gear. But for the first time in 2 decades, I'm wondering what a platform change might look like.

Considering my investment in Apple gear, even getting me to the "only looking" phase is pretty remarkable.

This is the only way to feel about it: it's un-premium.
No, the performance/watt of these ARM64 machines is just in a whole other category from Intel or even AMD. We'd need a much more power efficient x64 machine or a switch to ARM to interest me.
Who says they have to spend a bunch of money? The amount of money anybody would pay for it is the amount they could get from selling it, which is limited by liquidity. Add the fun they would get from crashing the market, and that is fair market value that these Bitcoins can get at auction.
I can move my email host and my mail keeps coming to me. Mastodon you need to set up some weird redirects from one server to another. It’s the difference between forwarding your Hotmail to your new gmail vs just swapping your provider and keeping your domain the same.

I think i've finally reached that point where the latest trend just doesn't make sense to me. In this day and age of ever increasing connectivity and bandwidth offline first web applications just don't make sense. Take an offline-first app running in your browser and then cover the address bar and buttons with a sheet of paper, now you have an Electron app. Why not just use Electron if a desktop/unconnected webapp is what you want to do? Actually, i suppose if the front-end guys just wanted to get rid of the back-end guys then an offline first trend would be a way to further that along haha.

I pay Apple $20 a month for Apple One. I refuse to pay and see ads at the same time.

If I am going to see only 1 ad in a normal Apple app (Maps, Music, Podcasts etc.) Apple can kiss that money goodbye.

For every Apple Service there’s a good alternative. I’ll turn my iPhone into a piece of Apple hardware with minimal affiliation to Apple software within the afternoon.

From there on out, I’ll start investigating to replace my Apple hardware with alternatives at their next renewal cycle.
