Plenty of illiterate people manage to stay out of jail, you’re implying that you weren’t suggesting literacy tests for voting, so I’ll just admit to being at a loss as to your point. But if you care to take another whack at how you would su

Such as you have to be able to read and write and do math at some certain level. Yes, we should implement this as it’s never been tried before! Oh, wait… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_test#Voting Perhaps ins

There is no reason for this increase except the fact that they know people are too lazy to migrate away. They're not wrong. I'm a geeky guy with a tech resume as long as your arm, and I'd really rather do something else bes

Bad implementations do not "security theater" make. When I did some work for a large coffee company, they had turnstiles at their building entrances, and I don't remember any lines in the morning. The scan/auth/ente

Kind of interferes with the idea these audits were all about going after the "rich buddies." I think you misread the parent comment, who said exactly the opposite.

Bear in mind that this guy pleaded guilty in a court case. In my mind that doesn't mean shit. Prosecution said, "if this goes to trial, we'll try to get life in prison. Or you could take our plea deal." That is why 90-

Works on my machine to just click the link from HN, FWIW, so I don’t know that it’s a jzw-style REFERER filter.

Here in the Seattle area, plenty of sub-freezing days (which is itself unusual for the area, in 25 years of living here), just no precipitation. And you know what Seattle is known for, especially in the winter? But when we do get precipit

Yeah, “we just made shit up in an article, destroying trust in our publication, but we will get around to investigating when we have a little free time in the next week or so.” No, you just shipped the equivalent to a data-destroying bug: i
