I must say I've been really disappointed with how often it crashes outright or has major rendering issues during screen sharing. When it works it's really convenient but 20% of meetings with screen share involved seem to have an i

Seemed like it was just a mobile join notification in the video similar to Skype for business or WebEx if you are using VoIP. No? My company used WebEx and I could make it dial me and start up my conference line without having to go through

Wrt the bedtime thing cats are territorial and some will get a lot of anxiety about not being able to access their whole territory for patrol, etc. So if you're putting them in a room at night closed off you may be stressing your cat o

Ha my spouse decided to try this once. Emphisis on _Once_.

So true. My cat really wanted to head outside to check out a bobcat and the Coyotes that were hunting it recently.

Seriously. This kills the cat.

Good point and actually it cuts against my judicial review argument given FISA's reputation (and stats) for approving virtually everything.

Agreed - enforcing the constitution is a tag team effort between the judiciary and the people. I would prefer it if there were required judicial approval for new laws and EOs, but alas that's not our system.

Pretty sure I have a good grip on what the ACLU stands for and that is mainly equal protection under the law. If stepping on lgbtq rights becomes convenient for Trump he will do it in a heartbeat, but right now he finds it more useful to de

OK fine it's more accurate to say Trump is anti Constitutional limits on his power whatever those limits are. the ACLU is just defending it's interpretation of those limits. We can parse the syntax more but my main point is simply

I think it would be more accurate to say right now that Trump is anti ACLU and everything it stands for. They're the static object in this equation imo. They're not anti-Trump the person. They're against anyone who intends to

Ok, but that does not change the fact that the bakery in this situation was in fact discriminating. You don't have to refuse all service to be discriminating illegally. A more sinister version of the same logic is the argument that sta

It's sad that less people we're inspired to donate earlier, but IMO the whole "you're just realizing this now?" thing is unproductive. Every person has a moment when they wake up and decided to step up, usually seve

It's actually not that expensive to get dual 27 @4k vs. a single very large format (32+) 4k if you hunt around for deals. I bought a two LG 27UD680-P for 350 USD each last month over a single BenQ BL3201PH 32 which was about 800 USD at

The more people they bring I to the .net community the more opportunities they have to sell tons of azure services. Doesn't hurt them to be more open because existing .net shops are still going to pay for msdn, etc.

There's a bit of a difference between saying in advance that you won't accept the results "Unless I win" and asking for a recount with some evidence of potential irregularities in hand after the election is concluded. It

Well let me first re-assert my point that it is not a _contradiction_ to be more concerned about one type of voter fraud than another and one doesn't necessarily need to have definitive proof in the form of a stack of scientific studie
51.
by baconner 10y ago
Well yeah. It's not a contradiction or a change of mind really to be concerned about one form of voter fraud and not another based on its likelihood. Individual voter fraud just doesn't make much sense as a method to swing an elec

That is true, but don't forget that those boundaries also come into play wrt polling place count and convenience. And that's been a clear attack vector this year in states like NC.

Sure, but if they were following that logic there'd still be a headphone jack, no?

I think the impact here has been less with individual users getting better about security and more that companies and developers have been spurred to try and do something about it. For example let's encrypt might not exist and that&#x2

They may be gunning for AWS, azure, etc publicly but I'd bet the main consumers of this service will be existing Oracle ERP (and other business apps) customers. They're already just fine with paying a fortune and having an iaas ba

I think tufte understands that people make junk charts on purpose. I think he just doesn't agree that it's a good chart if the purpose isn't to actually inform truthfully . If your data is crap and you know it then basically

As much as I like Few's books and have relied on them heavily in my time building SSBI tools he has a tendency to take something I basically agree with and blow it way out of proportion into an all-or-nothing type declaration. Seems he

no worries! i can see how what i said originally could be read that way and suspect we may agree that there's a bit of an unhealthy tendency amongst some of our peers to overstate how well science works and underestimate everyday reaso

Not zero, but what you learned is highly subject to bias and error from your small sample of individuals. You are likely to have drawn conclusions from your conversation that are not broadly applicable or possibly even true for those indivi

Alright then let me clarify my opinion. I don't think anecdotes and intuition are useless. They're appropriate for every day decision making where stopping to do a controlled study isn't an option. When it comes to actually l
