90% file electronically. The system would be crushed. We already filed and tax season (comical that it's called that, but in a bad way) is almost over.

private prisons are looked on fondly because they keep the riff-raff out of your neighborhood. Most people are on their parents insurance until they get a job, job funded insurance until they retire and Medicare (socialized medicine for old people who are otherwise uninsurable) after that. There's also a smattering of ex-military who get socialized medicine from our Veteran's Admin by virtue of having served and, well, a lot of them are big on IGMFY.... Free taxes is just one more check box. Why should _I_ pay for the poors to get money back?

It's counter productive. Recently the right wing Dems and GOP are attacking social security and Medicare (they want to means test it, which in America is a death sentence for any program) and have even started cutting the VA under Trump (who can somehow get away with saying and doing anything without taking a hit in the polls). It'll bite them in the ass eventually, but some of them will die before it happens. And in the meantime it just feels so damn good to kick down.

We call it stigginit. I used to think it was a bullshit concept made up by bitter left wingers, but I've seen way, way too much of it to think that anymore...

For 90% of Americans, who take the "standard deduction", tax calculations aren't even "calculations".
I could write an Excel spreadsheet to do them in an hour.

Or... you can download an existing Excel spreadsheet -- even if you itemize -- that looks like and prints a completed 1040 form. It also includes sheets for many (all?) related forms and schedules.

[ Pretty sure this took longer than an hour to create though. ]

To create a hyperlink auditing URL, you can simply create a normal hyperlink HTML tag, but also include a ping="[url]" variable.

<a href="https://www.google.com/"
ping="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/pong.php"> Ping Me</a>

To wit: Ping Me

This will render on the page as a normal link to google.com and if you hover over it, will only show you the destination URL. It does not show you the ping back URL , so users will not even realize this is happening unless they examine the sites source code. Scripts that receive the ping POST request, can then parse the headers in order to see what page the ping came from and where the hyperlink audited link was going to.

The headers associated with the information sent in the ping request are shown below.

• Fact: 63,000 deliveries (all mdels) in the first quarter (12.7 weeks) works out to 4960 cars per week.
• Fact: This is far below the late-2018 goal they set for themselves to produce 7000 Model 3s per week.
• To put it in perspective, Fact: Ford sold over half a million cars in the 1st quarter in the US alone.
• Fact: Despite selling 9x as many vehicles, Ford has a lower market cap than Tesla.

The real test will come when the waitlist is eliminated -- then QoQ or YoY will actually measure deltas in customer demand.

Thing is, it's not really customer demand per se. California has a ZEV mandate. Each year, every car company has to sell a certain percentage of zero emissions vehicles - mostly EVs though there's at least one hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in the mix. The formula is a bit complex (factoring in partial ZEVs like plug-in hybrids), but for 2018 it's about 2.5%. For 2025 it'll be 8%.

If a car company can't hit that quota, they must buy credits from a company which exceeded theirs (usually Tesla, so you can nix all the conspiracy theories about the other automakers wanting to kill off Tesla - Tesla is their safety net). If they fail to meet their ZEV quota, they are banned from selling cars in California. And since about a dozen other states automatically adopt California's auto guidelines, they'd be banned from selling cars to about a third of the U.S.population. No car company wants to be cut off from a third of the U.S. market, so they are all busy producing EVs. And if there's insufficient demand for EVs for them to meet their quota, they will run sales and incentives (even selling/leasing the EVs at a loss) to meet the quota.

So the growth in customer demand isn't organic. It's mandated by law (that's a fact too). Not saying there isn't demand - there very well could be. But we'll never know exactly how much real demand there is because the law manipulates market forces to make the tail wag the dog (forces automakers to lower the price until a certain level of demand is attained).

And the only non-factual part of this post. Speculation: Tesla may be deliberately trying to slow down production, so they can push more of those preorders into later years when the ZEV mandated percentage is higher. They may be hoping that the other companies will have a harder time hitting the higher quota percentages, which would make Tesla's ZEV credits more valuable. Right now, once all the automakers hit their ZEV quotas, the ZEV credits for any additional cars Tesla sells that year are worthless.

I'm unclear on why you would use the blacklist option(except because of a quirk of notation; if memory serves just setting a whitelist doesn't automatically block everything not on it; but setting a blacklist of '*' blocks everything except extensions where being on the whitelist takes precedence); but they offer both. (Documentation page is for the Windows GPO options; but Chrome's actual settings are mostly the same across platforms, just wrapped in the platform-native setting delivery mechanism. Only real exception are the ones aimed at Chromebooks, which control things that aren't within scope of Chrome on a full OS.)

ad hominem
1.
in a way that is directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.
"these points come from some of our best information sources, who realize they'll be attacked ad hominem"
2.
in a way that relates to or is associated with a particular person.

An ad hominem would be "don't listen to Rosenberg", Rosenberg is an idiot.

Linus listed off the technical reasons that C++ doesn't work for the kernel. That's the "against the position they are maintaining" part of the definition of ad hominem. Linus did not attack "a particular person", he gave reasons why a particular idea, which he had already tried, did not work.

He then summarized by saying that one would do that only if you're "looking for problems".

An ad hominem names a person and attacks them, ignoring the idea they are proposing. The opposite of an ad hominem is to address the proposal, without naming any person.

What does it matter, why make the distinction? Because if you want to fix a problem, you must first identify the problem. We might first day that the wording is too strong. We might further observe that it's hyperbole - the summary of the conclusion significantly overstates what the evidence supports. Those are specific things we can address.

If we identify the problem as "ad hominem", we could stop that with a simple policy of "don't name individuals in a debate - mention only ideas, not people's names". That would stop ad hominem; it would not stop what Linus did.

You seem to be somewhat confused. I first gave you the HYPOTHETICAL numbers that you'd NEED to reach your alleged "between 65% and 70%" of round-trip efficiency, namely around 82% for both (or a geometric average), since 82% * 82% = ~67%.

THEN I cited REAL-WORLD figures, which are around 45 kWh to synthesize 1 kg of hydrogen - around 74% efficiency considering hydrogen's LLV for electrolysis, and 44%-57% efficiency from hydrogen's LLV to electricity in a REAL-WORLD fuel cell. That's a REAL-WORLD round-trip efficiency of around 32%-42%.

I did not "suddenly drop" anything, the efficiencies are still the same. I've taken fuel cell system efficiencies from PEM Fuel Cells: Theory And Practice, 2nd Ed., Table 9-7 on page 367, and electrolyzer power use from the energy.gov page I linked above.

If you are a professional that relies on email throughout your work day you don't use webmail damnit.

I say "compressed" because the library is now too large to create a torrent file from its unpacked directory and file structure. For that reason, this edition of the library is being released as a compressed archive (regular .rar format, not a renamed .ace file ;P) What's new?

@ Many more hacking and programming e-books in most categories.

@ Tons of new .MIL instruction manuals from the USA D0D, and added CANADA ARMED FORCES manuals for the first time as well.

@ O'Reilly cookbooks for most popular platforms.

@ Charles Preston Black History Month Archive. Charles had to take this important archive off Google Drive in February because of DRM bullshit. We replicate it here for posterity. It’s in the /anarchy/survival section.

@ That insane 2000-page Q-anon PDF, and a PDF of the Captain Crunch autobiography.

@ Complete DEFCON and Black Hat conference rips: every year, every presentation PDF, all the code, and audio from almost every presentation, all in one place for easy search or AI training. Also CCC magazine in German.

@ The Magnitsky Act: Behind the Scenes (2016.) This German film has been banned in the west and is desperately important watching for anyone who wants to understand the current state of the world and why we are in a new, artificial cold war.

@ An entirely new Russian section, with programming and hacking books in Russian, as well as many and various documents relating to Russian hacking and meme warfare.

@ LinkedIn ICE archives: Scraped list of all ICE profiles from LinkedIn, for future war crimes prosecution.

@ The Beto O'Rourk cDc .txt archive: Everything Psychedelic Warlord published via cDc.

@ NZ shooter video, manifesto, social media scrapes and related content. This material is all in the /occult/kek section, in an additional .rar shell so nobody access it by accident. It's also prefaced by the excellent four-part series "The Kek Wars," ( https://www.ecosophia.net/the-... ) which provides important historical context for any future researcher using our archive to study government occlusion of information in the Trump era.

There are plenty of examples of people very dutifully following the instructions from their GPS into trouble despite it being painfully obvious that the GPS instructions were faulty in some way.

Really? That could never happen!

But seriously, I completely agree. It takes very little to confuse, fool, or distract a human. There is nothing surprising about being able to do that, nor should there be something surprising about being able to do the same to a machine with sensory input. The difference is that you can reprogram the machine to not do that next time. Humans are surprisingly resistant to learning not to do dumb shit, and all it takes is a night with no sleep or a bit of trauma in their lives, and humans tend to become a mess at doing lots of things they formerly did well.

And it doesn't even require that! Humans have brain malfunctions all the time. We are amazingly bad at driving. I continue to be amazed at how people can get into accidents at stop lights in broad daylight. For another great example, (and some laughs) go find some pictures on the internet of people driving vehicles too tall under things which are too short. Dumptrucks with the beds raised. Excavators with the arms up being pulled on a trailer. Tractor trailers driven under very clearly marked low bridges getting their tops ripped off. Rental trucks stuck in drive-thrus.

Your average human almost certainly is a better driver than the current state of the art machine but some machines have already surpassed some humans and they are getting better all the time while human drivers aren't.

Human drivers also have a bell-curve in terms of ability with age. And 10 years from now a 16 year old driver is going to be just as bad as a 16 year old driver now. Self-driving software will have decades or centuries of additional experience at that point, and possibly more. One thing that's important to recognize is that humans learn in series, while software can learn in massive parallel. And when a human dies, we're not yet able to copy the learning in their brain into the brain of a fresh human to pick up where we left off.

• This generation it's social media and video games which are ruining kids' lives.
• My generation it was arcades (that's why John Connor as a kid in Terminator 2 is shown as a delinquent "wasting his time" at an arcade, and Flynn in TRON is a failure in life because he owns an arcade).
• Back in the 1950s it was rock and roll music.
• In the 1930s it was organized sports and baseball cards.
• In 1859 it was chess.
• In 1816 it was the waltz.
• And in 1790 it was books (novels, romances, and plays).

This cycle probably goes back to the dawn of civilization. Older people who don't understand why younger people like the things they do will always come up with criticisms why it's destroying the lives of youth everywhere.

Vivaldi has had functional syncing for a while, but what I think GP was referring to is the fact that there isn't currently a mobile version of Vivaldi.

Personally, I am OK with that. The Vivaldi team is small, made up of former Opera devs (the real Opera, pre-Chromium) so they don't have the resources to spread out. I'm just happy that there is finally a good web browser to truly take the place of Opera. On Android I use a "tiny" (actually uses Android System WebView) browser simply called Private Browser. It's speedy and has all of the functionality I could ever need for a mobile browser.

Seriously, if you haven't tried Vivaldi or haven't tried it recently, you really ought to. Just dig around in all of the options and things that it can do that other browsers can't. It's pretty damn impressive now.

It's pretty impossible that complex reasoning, creativity, social and emotional intelligence, and sensory perception will ever be done by a machine.

I mean, all that machines can do for creativity now is create art in multiple styles including abstract weirdness like Dali, create photorealistic art based on crude drawings supplied as source material, write shitty stories, and create pop songs. There's no way that they will ever do more than that in the future, right?

I'm sure that they will never be able to sense emotions in people, nor will they replace a therapist. We certainly won't try to get AI to determine if people are likely to be criminals or re-offend if they have been convicted before.

Computers definitely will never be able to see and sort things, smell, recognize songs, or have a sense of touch or feel pain.

It's one thing to lay out soft skills that a lot of people don't have and say that's where jobs lie in the future. It's a whole different ballgame to ignore the fact that computers are already making inroads there, and already are better than some percent of the population at those things. Unless the authors are expecting technology to suddenly go in reverse, they're packing bags for a ship that's already sailed.

or the Dollar store effect. It makes economic sense to buy LEDs. They save a large amount of money over a year or two. But if you're poor you can't necessarily afford a $10 or even $5 dollar light bulb when a .99 cent one will do. If you've only got $1 dollar in your pocket it doesn't matter how much the $5 bulb saves you. And for the really poor (especially the elderly) we often subsidize their electricity; and regardless you can make payment arrangements when you come up short.

The solution to this used to be subsidizing CFLs. You'd see them for $1 a piece at Goodwill when they sold for $3-$5 in other stores. We never really did that with LEDs, and we probably should. The savings are worthwhile, since it eases the load on the grid and reduces the number of new plants that need building, but folks don't like subsidies even if they save money.

Hell, we just did a massive number of cuts to WIC and food stamps that will eventually result in kids with brain damage from the malnutrition their mothers experience and, in turn, those kids will clog up the legal system with expensive crimes when they can't make sense of the world.

It's been two years since we first released this resource and the library has grown considerably (through hook and crook) since then.

While the initial library containing everything from 1985 to 2017 was roughly 13GB uncompressed, the compressed version of the new library (1985-2019) weighs in at 78.4GB (under 100GB decompressed.)

"thousands of miles across a desert" is kind of an exaggeration. The Great Pyramid is about 4 miles from downtown Cairo, itself adjacent to the Nile. Modern-day Cairo literally sprawls to the base of the pyramids. Back in ancient times, you could have probably seen the pyramids from just about anywhere along the Nile within 10-20 miles of Giza.

This 360-degree photo vividly illustrates just how close the pyramids are to Cairo:

On one hand, the pyramids were an extravagant waste of money if you consider only their official intended purpose. On the other hand, considering how much money they generate for Egypt's tourist industry year after year, they were arguably one of the most robustly-profitable long-term capital investments in the history of human civilization.

For additional matters that otherwise may have arisen or may arise directly from the Investigation, you should consult my office for a determination of whether such matters should be within the scope of your authority. If you determine that additional jurisdiction is necessary in order to fully investigate and resolve the matters assigned, or to investigate new matters that come to light in the course of your investigation, you should follow the procedures set forth in 28 C.F.R. 600.4(b).

Barr's report said that there was never a case where the DoJ overruled the special counsel on prosecutorial orders, so presumably Mueller and Rosenstein (and perhaps subsequently Whitaker and Barr as well) agreed to the scope of the investigation and investigations and prosecutions on unrelated matters were handed off to other authorities.

Which is the point I'm trying to make that you seem to have trouble with: Mueller was only investigating a limited set of matters, and if he expanded his scope at all it was also in a limited manner made in consultation with DoJ. The other stuff, like Cohen's financial chicanery and the campaign finance crimes and whatever else were handed off to other authorities.

Despite the picture that Trump was painting as this being an open ended witch hunt looking at anything and everything to bring him down, it very much was not. Which is both good and bad for him, good since he has nothing more to worry about from Mueller prosecuting him or more of his associates and only has to worry about what he has already collected and put in his report, bad in that any other issues that were outside Mueller's scope are distinctly unresolved by the closure of the special counsel's investigation as well as any potential political fallout that occurs when more details are released.

regular folk. Get a room full of 100 random people and I'd be surprised you could find one who's heard of 8chan before the shootings. If you did, it was probably because of that stunt THQ Nordic pulled with them (no such thing as bad advertising...).

And if I may, censorship has it's up side, especially when it's not done by the government. It makes content creators work harder to get their message out because they can't just rely on shock value. It discourages writers from relying on sex and violence and bigger and bigger explosions. The 70s and 80s were pretty well censored and they were a golden age for films (Star Wars, the Mel Brooks films, The God Father).

Take all the breaks off and you don't get a "free marketplace of ideas", you get a bevy of trolls and their shit posts. And as the discourse gets more and more toxic you get this.

this is part of the broader "left wing media bias" narrative that the right wing has worked hard to establish.

For anyone who remembers what came out about MSNBC and Bernie after 2016, or pays attention to the coverage of him now vs the establishment candidates like Beto, Biden & Harris, or remembers when the media closed ranks to promote the Iraq War or the 2008 Bank Bailout you know the media's bias is hard right when it counts: economics.

Hell, the media was center-right on Gay Marriage until around 2014 or so. Go watch them grill Bernie on Medicare for All while giving Biden a pass on his attacks on Social Security. All this before Sinclair media bought out every local TV station.

And we shouldn't be surprised about the media's biases when it comes to the economy or the stuff that really matters. Look at who owns them. Always, always, always follow the money.
