enoint··on California bans child marriage, a practice still legal in 32 US states
I think it’s factually non uniform. In some states, you must be emancipated or qualified for emancipation before you can marry.
enoint··on Silicon Valley 'sex assault list' with 'over 100' names circulated
I feel like Joseph McCarthy’s list of <over 200 communists in the Department of State, or whatever> is particularly noteworthy. He couldn’t have contrived that list without Roy Cohn, and Cohn is one of the founding fathers of today’s ruling party. The legislative and executive branches legitimized giving attention to dudes with a secret list.
enoint··on Silicon Valley 'sex assault list' with 'over 100' names circulated
The temptation will be to pressure people on a secret list with public disclosure. And there’s a grey zone, too. Imagine a messy divorce, in which one person’s name is conveniently found on a list that’s time stamped during some period of contended infidelity. I think that’s how these are supposed to work.

What do you think the punishment will be for wearing a burqa near a school, in Italy?
enoint··on EU chief opens door for Canada to become 'associate member'
I think what you’re wondering is: can residential electricity schedules promote off-peak rates for EV charging. I’ve seen that and I think it takes the edge off.

But we’re in a drought right now. I think hydro is down at least 20%. Wyoming wind power alone totally makes up for that.

That’s proportionally true. Utah and Wyoming depend on Alberta because of elevation. I’m confused by the change at Seaway.

The politically-important Alberta oil mostly goes to the mountain states down here. Coincidentally, those same states rely heaviest on coal for electricity. So, the choice is recharge an EV on coal (think arsenic and mercury accumulating somewhere nearby) or good ol gasoline (which is piped from Canada).

We usually rely on polling for those answers. When you encounter a randomly-selected American on the street, do you find it 50/50? I’m in Wyoming, perhaps the reddest state, and it’s close to 50/50.

I’m sure China would, too. I wonder what’s harder: diverting that oil to the northwest passage, or diverting Persian Gulf oil around the strait of Hormuz?

That’s a weird way to say 50.1% of votes were against Trump.
enoint··on EU chief opens door for Canada to become 'associate member'
Canada was able to convict Peter Nygard, and Trump might not have completed the Epstein coverup yet.

The important categories are oil and potash. Consumer actions might not influence those much.

The system elected him without a majority.
enoint··on Crypto farm in Mexican mountains puts spotlight on cartel funding
Assuming no power bill, I don’t think 300 RTX would ever break even, if bought retail. Would have been smarter to try drop-shipping those to China. So, why didn’t they? Was there some condition or stipulation from the source?
enoint··on US to ban Canadian dairy, alcohol, motor vehicle imports on September 29
Saskatchewan would demand a substitute buyer, I think. Finding cooperative middle countries is a difficult strategy.

You can understand why Marshall skips town hall meetings.
enoint··on We have a year to fix security everywhere
I think the WeChat worm proves entire classes of handheld devices will be affected, with consequences beyond what Tencent can afford to remedy. I think we’ll see the most-centralized ideas suffer first, not necessarily the Western ones who relied on being too big to fail and prioritized stock buybacks.
enoint··on We have a year to fix security everywhere
Let’s say I’m empowered to patch and deploy. Even then, the HuggingFace hack showed that proven exploits will be automatically disseminated via rogue messaging. Could defenders ever have a system like that?
enoint··on We have a year to fix security everywhere
I have to agree. People are worried about WordPress. We should be talking about scripts as sophisticated as Shattered Spider targeting every ISP. In an environment where IT has to wade through vendor chaos.
enoint··on Hackers have withdrawn ~4k BTC (~$320M) from the Liquid Federation wallet
Liquid already has confidentiality. I think the question is: how could they coerce the federated authorization to unfreeze peg-out to Bitcoin.
enoint··on Hackers have withdrawn ~4k BTC (~$320M) from the Liquid Federation wallet
Well, exploits are different than sticky fingers. Those white hats could claim they raided preventatively.
enoint··on You Rename My Lake – I Move My Hosting
Canada also has leverage over toilet paper. 29% of USA crude comes from Canada with the Midwest and Rocky Mountains especially dependent.
enoint··on Google Has Removed MV2 Extensions from the Chrome Web Store, Including UBO
Right. They don’t need to get caught at scale.
enoint··on California lawmakers unanimously pass Linux exemption from age-verification law
At the risk of sounding off-topic, there is other legislation distinguishing OS which contain an individualized app store from those which do not. Maybe Facebook Under 13, Facebook Teen, and Facebook Adult should be different apps.

Colorado legislation, for example, won’t change if the OS license changes.

Sure, but what about LinkedIn?
enoint··on California lawmakers unanimously pass Linux exemption from age-verification law
But California could adopt some of Colorado’s language about containerization:

"COVERED APPLICATION STORE" DOES NOT INCLUDE: (I) A CODE REPOSITORY PROVIDER; (II) A CONTAINERIZED SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTION; OR (III) AN ONLINE SERVICE OR PLATFORM THAT DISTRIBUTES ANY OF THE FOLLOWING APPLICATIONS IF THE APPLICATION RUNS EXCLUSIVELY WITHIN A SEPARATE HOST APPLICATION: (A) AN EXTENSION; (B) A PLUG-IN; (C) AN ADD-ON; OR (D) ANY OTHER SOFTWARE APPLICATION.

There’s no legislation coercing that field. systemd is doing what GECOS and chfn and .plan allow, but OS vendors are free to remove GECOS, chfn or .plan support.
enoint··on Brits would quite like their private messages to stay private
Wired has reported that ongoing DHS surveillance tracks “anti-tech” and anti-AI sentiment. So the tech firms have concerns on both sides.

A better example is: I install Debian and later, somehow, the Google Play Store. Maybe that’s the only way to get some driver. Who is responsible for asking my age: Debian or Google?
