Canada was some how able to count ~3.5million votes across 6 time zones and deliver accurate counts the same day. No fucking apps, just sharpies and folded paper ballots. Does Iowa have a huge population or What the fuck is so complicated with counting votes, folks?

If someone is interested in film, Avid Media Composer is still the industry standard despite superior marketing by Premiere, Vegas. There is still plenty of top-down inertia re: hollywood-style production workflows. the trend seems to be superhero pulp films with a lot of effects, compositing, that have well-tread workflows that require specialist editors for specific look and feel. imo it's these high-end workflows that Avid shines: dozens of assistants, editors, graphic artists can be working on the same bins and sequences in Avid. Premiere is great for indies who need a swiss-army knife of tools. but for industry, Avid means bulletrpoof editing and teamwork that has been a mainstay since the late '80s.

As can be seen at the link below, 8chan also hosted a board supportive of the Hong Kong protesters, and which many Hong Kong people used in their campaign against the Chinese government.

Interesting how Brennan's letter includes this info to leverage China's censorship engine against Watkins. It is as if 8chan's free speech is being used against itself. If so, that's bit fucked up, but i am ambivalent for now.

your story's ultimate link is broken.

"Wars are caused by undefended wealth."

Position tracking Bluetooth beacons are found in new lamp posts. IMO bluetooth, is a double edged sword in this conflict, and could show who someone associates with and where someone travels.

Doesn't look like there is support for icloud music library on the web app; i logged in but only have apple music service. I wish they'd add this feature, but maybe apple's more interested in flogging their streaming crap.

Money coming from corporations is on “an even sharper decline,” despite interest from companies such as Facebook Inc. in creating their own digital coins, CB Insights said. Maturing startups are drawing less support, while young startups are faring better, it said.

Every VC who approaches 'blockchain' like it's a milkable buzzword for crazy profits do not understand the implication of blockchain. They seem to want to treat a blockchain as if it is some sort of digital ledger (which it is), but then fucking stop there. However, bitcoin's blockchain is distributed, which is something missing from most half-baked cryptocurrency proposals (e.g. Facebook, Goldman sachs, JPM). As long as corporate executives think they can create a corporate-controlled blockchain with centralized control, it will fail in the face of a distributed solution.

Facebook's unspoken principle behind Libra will be Facebook controls the Libra blockchain. This one fact makes the Libra proposal already obsolete because multiple antifragile, globally distributed blockchains have already been in existence, growing, and improving over the past decade. While government regulators dote over Facebook's Libra whitepaper, people today already have those features in many different cryptocurrencies, along with the fact the blockchains are not controlled by fucking Facebook.

We have seen the music industry go through the five stages of grief when mp3s began to be shared peer-to-peer, and banking corps are now experiencing their own extinction event. IMO Facebook and other corps continue to play catchup to Bitcoin, Etherium, Ripple, yet do not seem to, or do not want to understand the implications of a distributed tech that they cannot hope to control or rein in by throwing money at it.

. Gatekeeper is just a nanny program for the plebs - a security hole wont be relevant to power users anyway.

As long as you're in Terminal,

sudo spctl --master-disable

Remember that guy who tossed his hard drive

that was a good story back in 2013, but some things have improved

SOP these days is to secure a wallet stored on the blockchain with a seed phrase, which is converted into a seed integer, to a deterministic wallet that can recreate the wallet's key pairs. with this type of storage, you can lose your phone or hdd, and still recover the 'lost' bitcoins if you have the seed phrase, and the wallet software.

not perfect by any stretch, but is secure enough for the vast majority of cases.

Dosdude1 unofficially supports 2008 imacs with the current OS in his spare time (note - the ones with Radeon HD 50000 and 6000 not so much):

Early-2008 or newer Mac Pro, iMac, or MacBook Pro:

MacPro3,1

MacPro4,1 iMac8,1

iMac9,1

iMac10,x

iMac11,x (systems with AMD Radeon HD 5xxx and 6xxx series GPUs will be almost unusable when running Mojave)

iMac12,x (systems with AMD Radeon HD 5xxx and 6xxx series GPUs will be almost unusable when running Mojave.)

in his spare time, DosDude1 extends support of mojave to recently-'obsolete' macs:

- Early-2008 or newer Mac Pro, iMac, or MacBook Pro

- Late-2008 or newer MacBook Air or Aluminum Unibody MacBook:

- Early-2009 or newer Mac Mini or white MacBook:

- Early-2008 or newer Xserve:

If your mac is old but not too old, you can still get unofficial support through our hero, DosDude1

Have you ever seen anything designed from Apple and said, "wow, that's really good design."

The latch mechanism for the G4 Cube

Target Disk mode (currently on TB3, but i've been using this since 6 pin firewire)

This 2008 macbook was a joy to work on, with tool-less access to a replaceable battery.

the layout of the mac pro towers four hotswappable drives on trays, independent horizontal airflows for power supply, processor/ram, PCI slots. compared with the jet airliner of the predecessor powermac G5s, the Mac Pro 2006+ showed the gradual improvements in design over time. these towers were the last macs to offer modular upgrades, until the 2019 mac pro was announced.

I am hoping the solution will have something involving magnets.
