| DaemonFC[m] | <MinceR "sounds good to me"> Especially since in America, most of those people voted for those policies and then they won't do that again. | Oct 16 15:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: By all indicators we're maybe 20-25% through the entire population of the US getting this and already we know of 223,000 dead at least. | Oct 16 15:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So even if you could only get it once, we're talking about 700,000+ dead probably. | Oct 16 15:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's possible that immunity wears off almost entirely, leaving you vulnerable to another infection that's nearly as bad as the first one. | Oct 16 15:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: So, Texas was admitted into the Union with a couple of odd conditions. | Oct 16 15:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They have standing permission from that law to split themselves into up to 4 other states, and they control the entire national territorial waters off their coast. | Oct 16 15:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The second part didn't seem so important at the time, but it is with offshore oil drilling now. | Oct 16 15:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The "four states" part is likely never going to be used. | Oct 16 15:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Most states have no interest in carving themselves up. | Oct 16 15:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It was presented as a possible scheme to add Republicans to the US Senate, but they're never going to do it. | Oct 16 15:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Even if they partitioned themselves to get the vote like that for a short while, the boundaries would be permanent. | Oct 16 15:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So there's no guarantee that it would stay that way, and probably each sector would get a major city with a lot of Democrats. | Oct 16 15:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So you'd have at least 3 of the new states with competitive Senate elections, which would defeat the purpose. | Oct 16 15:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then you'd still have to get a majority to agree to the plan, in both the legislature and the public, and most of the public there really likes their state how it is. | Oct 16 15:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's as comical as the idea of splitting up Illinois. Some Republicans want to because they think it would create another Indiana, but they would inherit all of the debt and problems they had before with no tax base to pay for it. | Oct 16 15:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The idea gained new traction now because of the virus. | Oct 16 15:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They don't want to wear face masks, so their solution is to carve up the state. | Oct 16 15:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In winner takes all elections, the consolation package isn't even as good as the one on The Price Is Right. | Oct 16 16:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Where the winner gets to go on vacation and like a brand new home and the runner up gets a pack of chewing gum. | Oct 16 16:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So millions of people go to the polls, vote, and it makes no difference (except maybe locally) because they can't hit a plurality. | Oct 16 16:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: I was reading a list of elections that were called by 1 vote, or a small handful, but they had maybe a dozen without going back into the 1800s. | Oct 16 16:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And even if more people vote, something like this has the same overall chance of happening anyway. | Oct 16 16:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Elections do have consequences, even in a two party system. The Republicans managed to hold back a living wage law in Illinois for years, with control of only one branch of the government. | Oct 16 16:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They managed to have the people of Waukegan continue being gassed by a company emitting ethylene oxide for several more years because Bruce Rauner (their governor) had ownership in it and if the state made them put in scrubbers, his stock would go down a tenth of a point. | Oct 16 16:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's all short term you know. As soon as the government changed, they had to install all of those filters anyway and have permanent monitoring, and pay a fine for all those years, including the ones where Rauner didn't make them fix it. | Oct 16 16:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There were cancer clusters in Lake County, and not just near their Waukegan facility. They had several. They said it would cost too much to filter it and they may leave the state, but then they just installed the filters. | Oct 16 16:07 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The facts came to light, the white people got out there picketing and writing their local officials, and saying "We vote. What are you going to do about these people?". | Oct 16 16:13 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The filters scrub out most of it. | Oct 16 16:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think the figure I looked at said they were able to reduce the emissions by 99.3% with the filters. | Oct 16 16:14 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: So I found out why there was no criminal history on the screening report that our new landlord ran. Transunion Smartmove is what the company he went through uses on the backend. | Oct 16 18:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If they don't see "conviction" then they don't report it. | Oct 16 18:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So by avoiding "conviction" I have no criminal history as far as Transunion goes. | Oct 16 18:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm sure they got sued by people who had an arrest record but not a conviction. | Oct 16 18:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If the court doesn't take it seriously enough to pursue a conviction, why should anyone else? | Oct 16 19:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, legally, an arrest doesn't, by itself, mean you did anything wrong. It's an accusation that further proceedings will handle. | Oct 16 19:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | An arrest is just "It's more likely than not that something happened.". | Oct 16 19:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Basically they only have to go in and convince a judge that there's a 50.1% chance that the complaint is true. | Oct 16 19:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's the only safeguard unless the cops themselves witnessed something happening and decided to arrest on the spot. | Oct 16 19:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Cops can use their discretion in whether to arrest or cite for a crime they committed. They do not have to take you downtown and book you. They can write out a criminal complaint against you in their police car and give you a court date. | Oct 16 19:03 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I understand that the UK has something entirely different. | Oct 16 19:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Sometimes the police give you an option between being arrested and getting a formal warning. If you accept the warning, you have a criminal record that says "This happened and the police warned him." but you avoid being arrested and put on trial. | Oct 16 19:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So many people accept the warning even if it isn't true. | Oct 16 19:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Sometimes the police warn, but a warning never goes down in any official records except maybe a police report number that nobody will ever see. | Oct 16 19:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Unless it's a traffic ticket. They can issue you an informal warning (no record), a warning ticket (other cops can see it, but no fine and doesn't affect your insurance or driving records), or an actual ticket. | Oct 16 19:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Most states have laws that say like 3 warning tickets and you get points on your license. So 3 warning tickets in Indiana can be as bad for your insurance as 1 actual ticket. | Oct 16 19:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But still no fine. | Oct 16 19:07 |

| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: I was reading about the national maximum speed law that existed from the 70s to 1995. | Oct 16 19:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In response to the Arab oil embargoes, Congress passed a bunch of laws intended to save energy. | Oct 16 19:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In fact, nobody paid attention to that law and some states, to keep their highway money, passed a law where you'd get a $5 energy wasting ticket as long as you were not exceeding 65 on a 55 mph freeway. | Oct 16 19:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It was based on kind of a crap idea though, that all cars get their best fuel economy at 55 miles an hour. | Oct 16 19:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It depends on drag coefficients and the weight of the vehicle, and in what speeds the transmission is in which gear, and all kinds of things really. The engine type.... | Oct 16 19:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So different cars might get optimal gas mileage at all kinds of speeds, but usually between 50 and 62 mph. | Oct 16 19:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So here's a one size fits all law based on junk science that everyone laughs at. | Oct 16 19:13 |

| kingoffrance | i dunno, i think i heard something like mozilla stuff builds with certain audio support and not with others i.e. the default changed, so it just makes some ppl compile who wouldnt otherwise; that was a while back | Oct 16 20:12 |
| kingoffrance | that was my understanding last i heard related things: it was binary packages and maybe configure defaults | Oct 16 20:13 |
| kingoffrance | but whatever the prior stuff was still there if you compile yourself | Oct 16 20:13 |
| kingoffrance | so then the q becomes what options do distros build their binary packages with | Oct 16 20:13 |

| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | Laughs in LaTeX | Oct 16 22:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's kind of dumb that a web server is glitching out and so you can't edit a document. | Oct 16 22:13 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | Why on earth anyone that knows how to program wouldn't use LaTeX is beyond me | Oct 16 22:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I mean, basic computing task that could easily be done on a PC with local software for the past 30+ years. | Oct 16 22:13 |
| schestowitz | XRevan86: or kile or lyx | Oct 16 22:13 |

| XRevan86 | schestowitz: wrong cast :) | Oct 16 22:14 |

| DaemonFC[m] | It's really dumb to rely on software where a remote server malfunction could take it out, unless the computing task is just so enormous that you couldn't do it locally to begin with. | Oct 16 22:18 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | What regulations | Oct 16 22:18 |

| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | It's really dumb to rely on Microsoft to provide good service. But people do it anyway | Oct 16 22:18 |
| schestowitz | it is, DaemonFC[m] | Oct 16 22:19 |
| schestowitz | it's about business modela | Oct 16 22:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you could do it locally 30 years ago, there's no excuse for why it needs a "cloud" now. | Oct 16 22:19 |
| schestowitz | and social control | Oct 16 22:19 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | It's DRM enforcement | Oct 16 22:19 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | That's it | Oct 16 22:19 |
| schestowitz | not just storing docs there, also lettting them log the authoring process | Oct 16 22:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | DRM and government spying. | Oct 16 22:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you stop paying, you lose access to it. | Oct 16 22:19 |

| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | It's subversion | Oct 16 22:20 |

| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | Cloud SaaS is the last stand | Oct 16 22:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Of course, none of this was new. I was asking my dad why he was installing Office 97 if Office 95 worked fine | Oct 16 22:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He said that the boss at Thomson decided to roll out Office 97 and if you shared documents back and forth it would break them. | Oct 16 22:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So they had to buy site licenses and tell their employees to upgrade to Office 97 at home. | Oct 16 22:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | 90s software in general worked fine. | Oct 16 22:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There wasn't too much room for bling bling so they just got it working and shipped it. | Oct 16 22:23 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | I think LaTeX hasn't really changed fundamentally in a decade at least | Oct 16 22:24 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | It's just getting new packages for fancy things like graphics | Oct 16 22:24 |

| oiaohm | vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx: big changes with Latex software over the years has been more the default include fonts. Early on they did not care about the copyright of different fonts included. | Oct 16 22:52 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | Did know that | Oct 16 22:54 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | Did not* | Oct 16 22:55 |
| oiaohm | It was debian project requirements that they caused a audit and regular bug reports over it. We are talking 1996-2010 to get the fonts sorted out and where required suitably replaced. | Oct 16 22:57 |

| DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz "I think by reference they mean p"> Yes, and by a former landlord in Indiana from 2007-2012. I asked him "Please talk to this guy. He's a Century 21 agent and he owns about half of Huntington, Indiana, and a lot of the surrounding area, and I think he'll give me a good reference.". | Oct 16 22:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: I made the manager here laugh. | Oct 16 22:59 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | And even then, I use LaTeX in a very hacky way. I just look stuff up as I need. | Oct 16 22:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She said, "What happened to the first people?". | Oct 16 22:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I said, "Oh, Briarwood? They turned out to be a couple of Karens in an office. They saw a gay married couple and one is an immigrant and they decided to feed bad data to their screening company. So I came back to tell them to please correct it and they freaked out on me, assaulted me, and called the police.". | Oct 16 23:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She's like, "They called the police after assaulting you?". | Oct 16 23:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I said, "Yeah, and I was stunned. I called the police department to ask if I needed to come down there and talk to them about this because I hadn't done anything wrong and the police laughed and said they just had to take the report but nothing would come out of it.". | Oct 16 23:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "The police laughed. The attorney I spoke with about it laughed. It's just ridiculous." | Oct 16 23:01 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The lease says they can remove you for being convicted of a Class A Misdemeanor or a felony. I plead down to a Class C Misdemeanor and no conviction was entered. | Oct 16 23:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But I didn't want to be on the lease anyway, so I didn't contest it. | Oct 16 23:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Oh it has to say Class A Misdemeanor or worse. | Oct 16 23:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Bs and Cs are stupid shit. | Oct 16 23:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I mean, like driving on an expired license is a B. | Oct 16 23:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't think that the court proceedings last year will have much of an effect on my life. In fact, what they did to me at Briarwood wasn't even legal. | Oct 16 23:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're just shifty peopple who don't want to give an answer because they broke the law. | Oct 16 23:07 |
