Nixon did it too in 1960 for JFK's election, even though that has now been determined to have been "fraudulent" in how most people understand the term: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/10/donald-trump...

Paying lip service to a failed process does not make the process more robust, it simply papers over the issues until it finally breaks, to worse outcomes and pain. There are enough elements that are questionable in the US election system that it is not unreasonable for people to be doubtful of it, esp. in the hyper-partisanship of today.

The solution is not to pretend to go back to an era of gentlemen's agreements, but rather harden the process so that nobody except the real cranks and lunatics could feasibly say anything. The problem is that too many people now are happy to write off entire swaths of the country as "loonies and cranks" because of their own hyper-partisanship.
Or perhaps they had an unexpected medical bill. Despite the talk of the American dream, the US system seems intent on keeping people down when they are down.

Also, ‘convicted criminal’ is not a protected class, you wouldn’t win a lawsuit against someone who refuses to hire ex-cons.
That’s a great point, and also kind of insane to think about.

The area around Maui has TONS of whales part of the year… many of them breaching.

I wonder how high these things fly vs how high a humpback can jump out of the water. I think the rule is 1/2 of your wingspan to be in ground effect, but it has been a long time since I’ve studied the exact numbers.
I'd guess that most software work doesn't require super-specialized roles. You can get good quality engineers for generalist tasks (web app dev, API dev, etc.) all over the world.

I agree, the end game for remote work for non-specialists isn't an obvious positive for those in HCOL countries
Just to play with the logic a bit. I could see natural language coming up with formal templating to get something closer to a programming language. Not like how we speak will change, but more like how a haiku works is formalized. Similarly to how every CS1 class in university has people who do the "write the steps in making a sandwich" exercise. That exercise is actually easier in a programming language, because of the nature of what a programming language is, its instructions in steps at the end of the day. So perhaps something is formalized that way? Also most modern languages have been slowly adding in things that are easier to read from a natural language perspective VS classical C syntax style. Rust is very C-like but still has plenty of FP like functions built in too.
> That goes against current guidelines on sleep for babies.. the risk of SIDS drops when the baby sleeps on their own rather than with their parents.

True, but if you look at the studies you see alcohol and drugs involved, parents who smoke, babies sleeping with parents on sofas, improper bedding, low birth weight and other risk factors, etc. A hard mattress, light bedding, and a baby bed that can go between the parents or on the side of the bed eliminates most of the risks. Pediatrician advice on this topic has gone from "never do it under any circumstances" to "don't smoke, drink, do drugs, or let babies sleep on soft mattresses with heavy bedding." Babies should not sleep prone. Parents all over the world routinely sleep with babies and young children with no increased SIDS rate, probably because they don't use padded soft mattresses and heavy bedding. Cribs and baby bedding and toys cause their own problems.

> People existed for a long time without lots of things we have today. Should we stop using lots of stuff?

Not really an argument, since I was referring to a single specific practice, not "lots of stuff." At one extreme you have Balinese mothers who carry their babies everywhere and sleep with them. At the other you have parents who hire nannies and keep their children in separate rooms under video surveillance. Because raising children is a very personal and human activity I don't get why people would introduce unnecessary distance or technology, but everyone can find their own way.
Hasn't work from home been shown to improve worker efficiency and happiness too?
> "Hi! I find myself cycling between hobbies. I'll pick up guitar and get into it for a short while, then be totally bored. Then I'll pick up hobby electronics and watch youtube videos all night, then drop it two weeks later. And so on and so forth. Any advice? I feel like it triggers an addiction part of my brain, like the other week where I hadn't played video games in two years, then picked up Factorio again and played all night"

I thought this was how hobbies were normally supposed to work. This is how I do all my hobbies and I don't think it's bad.

> "having to call in sick to work two days in a row due to the addiction."

OK that's bad.

> "Helpful resources on addiction are usually focused on the "bad" stuff - alcohol, gambling, porn."

The reasons those things are bad isn't because they are immoral or because the bible says they are bad, it's bad when they have negative impacts on your life. Like missing two days of work from it. If you are having such bad effects from your addiction then I don't think it's helpful to think of it as 'not as bad' as those other things.

I'm not any professional so anything I said take with caution.

China’s new anti-spy law is just the beginning
"Under the terms of this sweeping new law, all investigation activity and data gathering in China -- printed, electronic or oral -- can be effectively outlawed as 'espionage'."

I wonder whether it applies also to accessing/mining Chinese Internet remotely?

"Even academics and financial market traders face this risk. Academic (such as CNKI) and securities databases (such as WIND), corporate registries and judicial databases (such as CJO) in China have all been ordered to scale back or shut down access to foreigners. And unauthorized access or facilitation of access to such data could now become a crime under the new scope of the spy law."

I wonder how foreign academics can even work there anymore if the claim about CNKI is true?

"A crucial change is that areas previously covered by privacy provisions under the Criminal Code -- which carried a maximum penalty of three years in jail but usually ended with only a slap on the wrist (if you were not Peter Humphrey) -- can now earn life terms or even a death sentence."

Happy OSINT'ing!
It's pretty well documented in primary sources that just about every manufacturer has moved their factories in pursuit of lower labour costs. Jurisdictions without labour protection regulation tend to unsurprisingly have lower costs for unskilled and semi-skilled labour. This isn't just about unions, but (very costly) safety regulations too.

This was all a fully predicted outcome of international free trade. US-based manufacturers simply can't compete with unregulated labour pools of people willing to work capably in toxic and dangerous conditions for most of their waking lives just to survive. It's the same reason we have to import enormous amounts of agricultural labour.

Depending on your political leanings you may take this as a cry to deregulate labour, or to increase tariffs. The status quo however dooms most domestic manufacturing to be noncompetitive.
Depending on the role and company there might be legal limitations, regardless of hiring manager views on the crime.

For example, working at a software firm focused on trading and financial systems we had contractual requirements to never send felons onto customer sites. So for sales or support/engineering roles given that traveling to customer sites was part of the role description, that limited employees we would have otherwise hired.

Also, all the regulated financial's I've worked at have background checks at onboarding, and then annual compliance reviews where you have to attest to not having felonies in a range of related areas. You can't manage money if you've been convicted of stealing it.

Have you looked at the Seattle area / PNW as a use case at all? I imagine the geography would be perfect for a solution like this.

Seattle has a pretty extensive ferry system that they are in the process of electrifying [1]. It's great for what ferries are, but I would love more options between islands. Some of the less popular options are limited seasonally, I imagine this is a matter of economics.

Also I can tell you that the ferries to / from Victoria Island fill up fast and require reserving slots in advance if you have a car. It's also a 3-ish hour ride that can be very unpleasant if you hit bad weather. I've often driven the long way around rather than do that trip.

To skip TSA nonsense you just need to skip TSA nonsense. Outside of the US airtravel is still relatively similar to rail. You have to be on time, you have to handle the baggage, but you can walk through xray and security within minutes and only need to show the ticket on your phone.

An electric wing-in-ground-effect aircraft still looks like an airplane and might still fall under the same regulations as any other airplane.

In any case TSA objectively does not add much security[1] and does cause issues e.g. for people who have names with similar spellings to those on a no-fly-list [2].

But that aside, the technology is great for short distance travel. Climbing to 2-5 thousand foot to travel some 50 miles is clearly insane.

I use my own email address (web host's mail server; I don't run my own).

Used Gmail for a while, but I trust Google less and less. The thought that some automated process could simply lock my account for an imagined infraction—and once that happens, it's over; you'll never actually deal with anyone at Google—was a pretty major impetus for me to fully switch away from Gmail.
They should not be able to do that on the browser too, even with Widevine.
I am looking at these people, and while they make money (or they try to convince investors they do), they seem poor (the guy fake-punching on instagram with a red "rent's due" t-shirt is the most honest representation of the business model). I don't know what the word for them would be, but they are the equivalent of vassals in a feudal system with a license to make some money (perhaps, if they are lucky with timing and escaping all the angry investors) in a pyramid scheme that has the original owners of all these properties sell-off big time (they are the people who actually made the money in this story...)
I've been using Depot for a while and I'm a fan. It has made our (GitHub Actions) builds a lot faster because the cache is always warm. It also helps a lot when building amd64 images from my arm64 Macbook - that's excruciatingly slow if I just run `docker build`.

My only complaint is more about GHA - I wish there was an easier way to build multiple unrelated images at the same time in a single GHA job. Running `depot build &` to background things is a bit fiddly when it comes to interleaved console output, exit codes, etc.

You kind of do know who they are, the first message was signed by the the first key, so you know that key is associated with that message and the author who sent that message. You don't know their name, but you know that this author, whatever their name may be, has control of that key pair.

As an end user, you see that the first message and second message were signed with different key pairs. Since you know that the first key is controlled by the author of the first message, you use a little bit of logic to deduce that the second message must not be authored by them, because it was not signed by the key pair that signed the first message.

So PGP did do it's job here IMO. The end user sees that there are two different authors here, which is what it was meant to do!

>No way for me to tell which one of those is the actual you, because I don't know who you are.

You don't really need to know this oftentimes, you just need to know that author A is in control of key pair A, and any messages that aren't signed with key pair A must not be authored by author A.

An example of this is trust on first use. You find some python library that colors terminal output, and it happens to be signed with key pair A. Going forward if you check the signature of the release artifacts, you know that it was authored by the same person that authored the original library you used, even if you don't actually know who they are.

Another example of this is TLS certificates. When creating a TLS certificate for your domain name, there is no cryptographic guarantee that the person who paid for the domain name is in control of the machine that is used to create the certificates associated with that domain name.

The only guarantee that is made, is that the person in control of the machine used to create the certs is the only person who has access to the private key material. So in practice this only proves that the machine you connect to when going to $url is controlled by the person who controlled the machine used to create the certs.

We can imagine person A buying $domain. They setup their DNS records to point to an IP address. If the DNS servers used by lets encrypt (for example) lie about the record, it is possible that an untrusted party is able to create a certificate for person A's $domain.

This was from a quick google search, there are probably more sources and more stories about the others you mentioned. There is no one candidate to blame here, most of them have some sort of story they concoct about why they lost and some conspiracy they attribute it to. The blame lies with anyone who is such a tribal political member (D or R) that they simply cannot accept anything non-nightmarish about the other side.

I've had the same email address for going on about 23-24 years now. It has operated over at least 3-4 different internet services over those years, and I've never had to worry about "someone else" shutting down their service and losing my address, nor worry about "changing my email" anytime a service changes.
In addition to the other points mentioned, an electric propulsion system has many fewer moving parts than an IC system, less vibe as well and less harsh thermal considerations. There are no fluids to replace or maintain or plumb through the vehicle (no leaks to chase either), so reliability is arguably increased and its also an easier system to maintain.

I think you have to consider the broader peer group. If all the anti-social media parents and their kids become friends with each other, it will be far easier to avoid peer pressure compared to regular society. Same with drugs, sex, smoking, etc, if your kids have good company and friends, avoiding harmful things is much easier.
I have been WFH since the pandemic, and I have grown used to it. My company doesn’t even have offices anymore.

However, last week we had a happy hour to all meet in person, and I had a 20 minute conversation with someone about a work topic, and it was amazing how much productive information we were able to share with each other in such a short time. It was just easier to work through things in person than on slack or zoom.
> Because it doesn't create unnecessary suffering for the unfortunate people who find themselves out of a job because some executive over-allocated for a particular role or department.

Unnecessary suffering is going to happen either way. Keep in mind, at the time of hiring, there is real demand, and while "forever" is more than a bit ridiculous (and no doubt a misrepresentation of the executives' thinking), the truth is nobody knows exactly how long it will last, so you're getting it wrong no matter what you do.

> Fundamentally, we want people to still participate in the capitalist system and not reject it because they're constantly treated like cattle.

That some people don't always have a job is part of the capitalist system. What happens to them when they're not employed, that's not about capitalism.
It's quite the mystery as to how humans procreated prior to this time period, or why biological adaptations switches so suddenly to require such acts to procreate when for millions of years prior to this the lack of of recorded sex acts indicates that no such acts must have occured.
Starting over a decade ago, I instituted auditing packages used from a Cargo-like network package manager, in an important system that handled sensitive data.

I set up the environment to disable the normal package repo access. Every third-party package we wanted to use had to be imported into a mirror in our code repo and audited. (THe mirror also preserved multiple versions at once, like the package manager did.) New versions were also audited.

One effect of this was that I immediately incurred a cost when adding a new dependency on some random third party, which hinted at the risk. For example, if a small package had pulled in a dozen other dependencies, which I also would've had to maintain and audit, I would've gone "oh, heck, no!" and considered some other way.

At a later company, in which people had been writing code pulling on the order of a hundred packages from PyPI (and not tracking dep versions), yet it would have to run in production with very-very sensitive customer data... that was interesting. Fortunately, by then, software supply chain attacks were a thing, so at least I had something to point to, that my concern wasn't purely theoretical, but a real active threat.

Now that I have to use Python, JavaScript, and Rust, the cavalier attitudes towards pulling in whatever package some Stack Overflow answer used (and whatever indirect dependencies that package adds) are a source of concern and disappointment. Such are current incentives in many companies. But it's nice to know that some successful companies, like Google, take security and reliability very seriously.
It seems like if they didn't have to deal with San Francisco Bay, these speeds could get them to Monterey in a bit over half an hour (!!).

But I bet navigating safely across the Bay and under the Golden Gate Bridge (probably in "hull" mode) could end up being a comparable amount of time in its own right. Having all that other marine traffic around in all directions (and maybe stricter noise restriction) is a big limitation.
