Why bother with all that work when ATM's aren't Tempest-hard and you can get a decent SDR setup for $20 on a laptop? Skimmers seem expensive by comparison.
It was a great way to prepare for being a sysadmin. "Did the mail go out last night, because your system didn't make the pickup" "Damn! OMMM crashed. Let me get on that"
I couldn't get a paper route until I was eleven (and my parents weren't springing for a 300 baud modem) and there was never a chance of me getting my own phone line (zmodem resume must've been invented by somebody whose mom kept picking up the line and dialing touchtones) so I never got to run a board but I still owe a debt of gratitude to all the sysops who let me on when I was little. Thanks, ladies and gents.
It was good living a local call away from kids whose parents worked at Bell Labs! (free lines and calls for the whole house.... "call me collect!")
The only Clinton voters who went for Johnson were those who were unable to ethically vote for Clinton. In that situation, you had potential non-voters who went for Johnson instead of staying home.
Reposting at the top level since nearly every other comment is getting this wrong...
Most (all?) jurisdictions allow a voter to request a replacement ballot, in the event of him making an error on the ballot. It would be trivial to take a ballot selfie with one ballot, request a replacement ballot, and vote differently.
This makes ballot selfies ineffective for vote-buying efforts.
The 1st Circuit Court court recognized that the NH law was unconstitutional because it bans protected political speech. NH's US Senator Ayotte is even planning to post her own ballot selfie, in violation of the NH law to prove the point.
NY is in the 2nd Circuit, so they will need their own decision until SCOTUS upholds the 1st Circuit decision.
Regardless, these bans aren't about vote buying - that won't work - they're about preventing people from expressing their political views on social media. Such postings have more benefit for insurgent candidates than establishment candidates, so the establishment is firmly against such efforts.
It is ridiculous. If someone told me ten years ago that a top of the line computer would stagnate at the same memory size for over five years, I'd think you're nuts.
There's lots of senseless finger-pointing going around. Anonymous doesn't get anything by shutting down Netflix (Americans aren't going to pressure the State Dept. over it to restore Julian's internet). So, who benefits by shutting down Twitter while Wikileaks is rolling out anti-Clinton hits and the Twitterverse is trying to work out what the leaks mean? North Korea? Only if they're doing it for the lulz. Or promises of favorable treatment under a Clinton administration.
And I don't have to buy them from Tesla â" there are plenty of other sellers out there.
Yeah, but if you have a Tesla roof, Powerwall, and Model 3, then it'll handle the credits for you among the reverse net metering, the panel, and your charge-ups at the SuperChargers.
If you put ten Teslets in at home yesterday, you can take ten Teslets out at the SuperCharger today.
Solar City, on its own, had to make up all of the finance costs from net-metering only. As part of Tesla, they can give you flexibility on how to handle the charges. If you consume way more than your production in your cars, and go past the finance costs for your roof, then they can charge that difference to your credit card. But before that, it's much more economically efficient to keep all the charges in-system.
If you have a non-integrated stack then you can do all the same things, but it's necessarily going to cost more because of transaction costs.
Only asshole people will buy from a rip-off publisher. But asshole people will also elect a government that will enact things like a DMCA, so they're going to screw society either way as long as they have the government stick to wield. Not having the government-enforced copyright also eliminates problems like this Samsung* one, so you get multiple benefits from that strategy. It's risk-management, not risk-avoidance.
* guess whose phones I won't be buying again in the future?
Yeah, I was paying that for all the channels I could watch on Dish Network, and I killed it because I didn't need yet another bill when the Internet has so much free and interesting content. And that was five years ago - why can't Google undercut that by half since they don't have to maintain a fleet of satellites and special hardware?
TV is for people who like the TV format now. There are just many other options than there were in the past and many people have rejected the TV programming model as uninteresting, given [better] options. But TV people will pay a lot of money for their preferred entertainment.
There's a great study out showing that educated voters tend to prefer Hillary (and then Stein and Johnson on the upper end as levels max out).
The funny thing about the study though is that a plumber running his own business with a dozen employees is "uneducated" while a Ph.D. in Gender Studies working the counter at Panera is "educated".
Nope - more efficient food production leads to more leisure time which leads to more education which leads to lower population levels. Feed everybody as much as possible if you want the population to decline.
We need DNSSEC and DANE. Let people get and offer multiple DANE records for multiple CA's so when one of them fucks up (like this, or they get untrusted for acting like typical CA's do these days) the client can follow the other chain.
Browsers can have a quality meter that shows how good the trust metric is - a few sigs for a cert would increase the score, absent other metrics.
When the DNSSEC root gets a 2048-bit signature in the next year, we'll see adoption start to creep up. We do have all the tech now to solve these problems - deployment is the current issue.
Meaning censorship, sharing data on dissidents, funnel money into China and not take any out, agree to let the state quietly execute any employees who speaks bad about the leadership.
If you're supporting any regimes laws, you're almost always going against the human rights of its subjects (good ideas don't require force). China just makes this abundantly clear, so it's an illustrative example.
You must be joking. I run Chromium (no flash installed) and there are many YouTube videos I cannot play. The/html5 test says it supports everything except h.264, and yet YouTube doesn't even support WebM correctly.
Somebody at Google got their pet project funded, but everybody else apparently felt free to ignore it.

. I'm not sure where Thiel quite fits in, unless he can wrangle an appointment to run the FCC, or even a place on the Supreme Court
Whom do you recall better, Kevin Martin or Karl Rove?
if Johnson voters had gone for Clinton
The only Clinton voters who went for Johnson were those who were unable to ethically vote for Clinton. In that situation, you had potential non-voters who went for Johnson instead of staying home.
Anyone have a list?
Just go from there. Whatever you do, though, you cannot mention the Pied Piper strategy. Because, well, see #1.
Round trip time is obviously 24 minutes, plus some time for loading. Departures on the half hour seem likely.
Sounds more like Microvision. I lost a ton on their stock. :/
If you're in a public place you have no excpectation of privacy in the US. A voting booth is an exception to that, though.

so you can prove you voted the way you were paid to vote
Since every jurisdiction that I've heard of allows you to request a replacement ballot, only a fool would pay for a picture of a marked ballot.
LastPass can helpfully tell you if you're using the same password on multiple sites.
Too bad /. doesn't have a duplicates detector like that.
In this particular situation, and so close to the election they would *probably* select Tim Kaine, but the party is not obliged to choose him.
Biden could win against Trump. Kaine probably couldn't.

Without copyright law, someone else could grab my novel and start printing/selling their own copies of it.
You should look into Creator Endorsed.

Copyright law needs a top to bottom reform. Period.
The people who own the government strongly disagree with you. Empirical evidence demonstrates that the only reform will be to make it worse.
With the current system in place.
He wants to ban all Muslims from entering the US. If that's not an "agenda that is against equality", then what is?
Indiscriminately bombing and burning hundreds of Islamic men, women, and children alive?
Oh, but we've already been at war with Eastasia, right?
I see $25-40 as a tough sell.

YMMV, read the fine print .
Or what usually happens: we grow more humans.
Nope - more efficient food production leads to more leisure time which leads to more education which leads to lower population levels. Feed everybody as much as possible if you want the population to decline.
