Comment Re:Nope, it's just a voter supression tactic (Score 2) 120

According to the Nevada DMV website, you are entitled to an one-time fee exemption for a duplicate ID if you declare yourself homeless. There is no exemption listed for the initial application or for any issue aside from homelessness.

Furthermore, in order to get an ID, you need to be able to get to the DMV. Depending on your location this may not be feasible due either to time constraints (if you're working many hours) or economic constraints (most forms of transportation are not free). You also need to be able to provide documents such as your birth certificate, social security card, etc. If you don't have those, there typically fees (and paperwork) in order to get replacements.

This all adds up very quickly if you're not doing well financially. And that's before any intentional changes to reduce access such as closing DMV locations, reducing hours, eliminating bus routes, etc.

C++ has deprecated and removed features in each of the three most recent language revisions:

There are additional features deprecated/removed in C++20 (including e.g. the partial deprecation of volatile as mentioned in the linked article) but I couldn't find a convenient list of them.

It is true that it is harder to remove features than add them, and people are usually more interested in what's new than what's been removed, so it does not get much attention. However, this doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

MTA-STS is analogous to HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security). It's a way for MTAs to express that a connection _must_ be encrypted, so if your server connects and attempts a StartTLS that fails, you can distinguish between "doesn't support TLS" and "something fishy is going on." In the latter case the server can avoid sending mail through a possibly-compromised connection.

TLS Reporting is an extension whereby MTA operators can get reports from other MTAs on which mails succeeded or failed. That is, it lets you see how many mails weren't sent due to MTA-STS failures, which could give you an indication that someone is attempting to attack your users.

yes

and obviously it's ignorant

americans are feeding crony financial parasites and getting nothing in return "because capitalism" when it's not capitalism at all

and never can be capitalism: capitalism is pretty wonderful but only works in certain economic sectors. it's not magic unicorn farts you sprinkle on anything and then everything is fixed because magic, which is unfortunately the extent of many americans' understanding of capitalism

Comment definitely due to the rise of the populist right (Score 0, Troll) 693

like you see with trump in the usa

and, like trump, it's financially and politically retarded

scotland will leave, and northern ireland may, and britain will suffer a number of financial costs it has to pay now

so now britain is significantly poorer and weaker

all because some old morons don't like immigrants

the real issue is why these people are so angry, and the obvious answer is they feel poor while they perceive immigrants as coddled

and they are poor... because of plutocratic abuses, not immigrants

plutocratic abuses the political *left* has answers to

but the old morons reject the left for various stupid and propagandistic reasons

like americans rejecting universal healthcare, even though it's far cheaper and equal or higher quality. because "capitalism." when it's just cronyism

old poor morons like plutocrats to have gold toilets i guess, and are too fucking stupid to see how or why that's all their uneducated opinions lead to

Comment Re:punishment versus rehabilitation (Score 1) 292

I think that if you're 20 and you had sex with a 17 year old, or if you took a piss in some bushes near a playground, you're innocent. Your "crime" is being dumb, and you shouldn't be punished at all, at least any more than a severe reprimand. And you certainly shouldn't have some scarlet letter hanging over your head your whole life.

At the same time, if you're 28 and you actively sought to have sex with an 8 year old, you are dealing with someone with a deeply psychologically rooted paraphilia that is not going to go away upon the completion of the punishment for your crime. You really should go on a list, or be an outcast, because you are a high risk of re-offending.

The problem is with people say "you go on a list" and the rest of us think about the adult who had sex with the 17 year old.

Or the problem is with people who say "you should have your record cleared and forgotten" and the rest of us think about the adult who had sex with the 8 year old.

Before anyone says anything, you have to define your terminology well, or it will be taken the wrong way. We start by qualifying underage sex crimes in terms of legality such that sex with the 17 year old is VERY different than sex with the 8 year old.

Comment just honeypot the shit out of everything (Score 3, Insightful) 208

you catch murderers and hitmen by

1.the police answering the ads of "hitmen" (morons, but so are most ISIS supporters)

2. police posing as hitmen and picking up the losers that contract for their services

you can do the same with ISIS

1. answer real ISIS broadcasters with fake supporters who proceed to sabotage operations and outreach in all sorts of ways

2. pose as ISIS and hoover up the social retards who answer the call

but you can only do this if the idiots operate out in the open

drive them underground and you can still do it, like with child porn douchebags. but you've made the job harder and some sympathizers go uncaught
