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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
GNU Radio, entirely in your browser — explore the open-source SDR ecosystem with zero install!
GNU Radio World is a browser-based GNU Radio Companion flowgraph editor and WebAssembly runtime. You can place, connect, and configure blocks, then run the resulting flowgraph directly in your browser.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
