  • A resume with no PII, how are they gonna call you for the interview?

    And what is the point of encrypting it? If they can't decrypt it then you just sent them a jumble of bits, and if they can, then what was the point?

  • I would need to use my hands or count out loud or do something after maybe two numbers if we are starting at 100.

    Trying it out just now and the only way I can really effectively do it is by subbing 10 and adding three each time.

  • That's possible though, if there are some really bad drivers screwing the average.

    Edit: it's probably even true in this case, it just depends on how you define 'good'. For example if you define it by getting tickets, only 36% of drivers are issued tickets. The average number of tickets issued is > 0 but the majority of drivers aren't issued tickets, the average is skewed, because most drivers are at 0.

  • Each person doesn't need to host everything.

    The Internet archive already has torrents that get automatically created, you can right now go and download/seed torrents for some items and you are immediately doing your part in decentralizing the Internet archive.

  • Yes, general investing is not zero sum, however many methods of advanced trading are. Options trading, which is prominent and easy to access on Robinhood, is much closer to gambling (and is treated that way by many users) and is zero sum.

    Most active trading strategies require successfully arbitraging, or extracting inefficiencies out of the market, and you can't do either of those things without someone else losing money.

    Passive investment is investing in the companies that underlay the market, active trading is extracting value out of the market itself.

  • The average net worth of a single person in their 60s (kamala's age) is about 1.5 million.

    So take 8 million for Kamala and husband and 3 million for an average couple in the same age group.

    I think that's significantly closer than any of the gop or third party candidates.

    Besides, it's not like Kamala is trying to make it a secret (unlike trump, who consistently refuses to release documents related to wealth and assets)

  • This article talks about how it's ambiguous though and provides examples of things that are typically not normal clothing such as overalls and bibs not being deductible.

    It's really not as clear cut as 'uniform' and it really boils down to a case by case basis except in the most obvious of cases.

  • It's easy.

    It's closer in spirit to buying a pack of smokes, it's easy to just grab one on the way somewhere, less of an issue if you lose it or have to toss it(like at some concert venues), easier to give to your friends, and generally they are much smaller, so easier to conceal.

  • Most states as far as I know, count votes upon receipt, only a few states have to wait until the last day that polls are open.

    I'm not asking why the polls are open more than one day, moreso, why everything is consistently referred to as 'early' or in other words, why does the media in general encourage people to wait until the deadline?

  • I've voted 'early, in every election I've participated in. For as long as I've known, which is about to be 4 presidential and all of the elections in between, the polls have always been open for weeks.

    That's approaching 20 years, I don't think it's a new concept really at this point.

  • TPM isn't inherently bad, it's just a way to cryptographically store keys. TPM overall is great as it gives you a very secure way to store things like encryption keys.

    You also don't need TPM to lock down a system. Locked bootloaders have existed for decades and platforms have historically rolled their own encryption modules as they wanted, like your ipad example, or any video game console in the last 20 years, or most mobile phones, etc.

    The 'knows enough to be dangerous' crowd has been fearmongering about tpm since it's been introduced, it isn't some magic bullet for vendor locking, since vendor locking is already achieved.
