NBC Early and mail in so far. 11am EST Nov 1 has 65 million votes so far. The battle ground only view is reflecting the OP’s article for PA.

Actually apparently it’s the other way. Conservatives are less likely to answer polls. Pollsters have been trying to account for it, but polling has become a very dynamic challenge.

This is a decent video explaining some of the background on why polling got worse from business insider. Essentially it has more to do with conservatives being underreported (they don’t like talking to pollsters) then Gen Z, Millennials, or Gen Xs. Not saying that didn’t play a part, but Nate Silver has talked about this as well in his Silver Bulletin.

I read the headline and was thinking, ‘no way Trump works out with Strava.’ As usual he has people who do that for him.

Local send works well for me between android and iDevices in most cases. I will say it struggles with VPN’ed connections, which is by design of the network and some VPN will block local connections.

I know sharedrop.io uses a similar web based model as pairdrop and runs into the same VPN issue, but I’m curious if the room function might overcome that in pairdrop.

I’ve been working with this issue for along time. Trying to find something platform agnostic and works with vpns.

App wise, I suggest Localsend for files

Information wise, I suggest Saladroom although there are several alternatives as well like ToffeeShare and ShareDrop

I mostly use Signal though, as it’s the simplest at hand app which fairly reliably makes it accessible to my various devices… With the downside of storing it.

Indeed, I’m feeling lazy and need a non-ai translator please… ?

Maybe because it’s now fentanyl…

‘Be like Officer Michael Dieck and get away with murder.’ My nightmare vision of how they are recruiting.

If approved, it will affect all Safari certificates, which follows a similar push by Google, that plans to reduce the max-validity period on Chrome for these digital trust files down to 90 days.

Max lifespans of certs have been gradually decreasing over the years in an ongoing effort to boost internet security. Prior to 2011, they could last up to about eight years. As of 2020, it’s about 13 months.

Apple’s proposal would shorten the max certificate lifespan to 200 days after September 2025, then down to 100 days a year later and 45 days after April 2027. The ballot measure also reduces domain control validation (DCV), phasing that down to 10 days after September 2027.

And while it’s generally agreed that shorter lifespans improve internet security overall — longer certificate terms mean criminals have more time to exploit vulnerabilities and old website certificates — the burden of managing these expired certs will fall squarely on the shoulders of systems administrators.

Over the past couple of days, these unsung heroes who keep the internet up and running flocked to Reddit to bemoan their soon-to-be increasing workload. As one noted, while the proposal “may not pass the CABF ballot, but then Google or Apple will just make it policy anyway…”

…

However, as another sysadmin pointed out, automation isn’t always the answer. “I’ve got network appliances that require SSL certs and can’t be automated,” they wrote. “Some of them work with systems that only support public CAs.”

Another added: “This is somewhat nightmarish. I have about 20 appliance like services that have no support for automation. Almost everything in my environment is automated to the extent that is practical. SSL renewal is the lone achilles heel that I have to deal with once every 365 days.”

Until next year, anyway.

Opening paragraphs translated:

Barrage ammunition Stick M12 was developed in Ukraine Aviation Bpa (Unmanned aerial vehicles) defense industry Ukraine

The Ukrainian defense company developed a barrage ammunition called the Stick M12.

The United Military Solutions company said that their new drone is capable of flying at a distance of up to 70 km.

At the same time, the Stick M12 UAV type «Krylo» is able to stay in the air for more than an hour.

The impact drone is equipped with one electric motor in the rear. In the front part there is a warhead.

It is designed to defeat stationary targets, armored vehicles and locations where enemy personnel are deployed.

It is known that in June, a batch of these barrage munitions was received by a 100th separate mechanized brigade of the Ground Forces.

Cross posting to facepalm, extremelyinfuriating, or rage does seem more appropriate.

Harris has said that she wants legislation implementing the tax cut to only apply to the people we traditionally think of when we think of tips: waiters, maids, caddies, and other service-industry customer-contact workers.

Trump, on the other hand, has refused to limit his no-tax-on-tips proposal to such workers, opening up the possibility that big banks, insurance companies, hedge funds, and other companies that traditionally have paid year-end bonuses — sometimes in the millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars — could simply reclassify their bonuses as tax-free tips.

**Adding to the confusion should Trump’s plan go into place, the Supreme Court earlier this year expanded the definition of tips when they ruled that if politicians or judges are paid bribes, but the payments are made *****after ***the politician or judge does the requested favor, they’re no longer bribes but, instead, merely tips.

Jesus H. f#$k Christ, let’s not normalizing bribes.

I think their point is that we need to change the law. But yes, let’s not normalize this or the billionaire will start regularly paying.

is exploiting a legal loophole to pay America’s blue-leaning non-voters… This whole thing should probably be illegal—so quick, give us your money before they change the law!,

Insofar as the FTC is in a legal case with google, American users do not have individual standing. But the court of public opinion is another venue without the need for such logic. As this is a political decision to enforce and proceed eight the case as much as an economic one, I would beg to disagree that provocation is in their best interest.

Perhaps some would like to file a complaint? https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/submit-merger-antitrust-comment

I wonder about this as part of the visually confirmed data. Hamny destroyed and unrepairable vs repairable, etc.

So what benchmarks would you define as in-depth? In-depth this decade is not what is was 2 or 3 ago, due to content consumption, but your comment made me realize how cultural the concept is. On the spectrum between a 5 bounce video to a PhD leaves a lot of room.

Over the past 40 years, Americans have been moving to more disaster-prone regions of the U.S. South and West. “A hurricane cutting the Gulf side of Florida now just encounters way more houses, way more businesses, way more roads, way more infrastructure than it did 40 years ago,” Keys said.

At the same time, climate change has been increasing the frequency and severity of extreme storms and wildfires in those fast-growing regions. Finally, when disaster strikes, inflation and labor shortages have driven up the cost of rebuilding.

All of these factors have made disasters more expensive, and contributed to the rise in premiums. But the biggest factor behind the rise, according to Keys, is the way that climate change is reshaping a fundamental pillar of the insurance industry.

Insurance is built around the assumption that disaster doesn’t strike everyone at the same time. For many types of insurance, that assumption is mostly true — a car insurer, for example, knows that it’s unlikely that every driver will get into a fender bender on the exact same day. But when it comes to home insurance, climate change is causing this assumption to crumble. A major wildfire could easily burn down an entire town, or a hurricane could easily rip the roofs off all the homes in a neighborhood. For this reason, insurance companies in disaster-prone regions end up purchasing their own insurance policies, known as “reinsurance.”

Reinsurance protects regular insurance companies from going bankrupt from a string of major disasters. Since reinsurance companies cover the epicenters of extreme weather, they’ve recently become extremely sensitive to climate risk. Since 2020, premiums for reinsurance have doubled, and will likely continue to rise. In states that experience frequent extreme weather disasters — like Louisiana, Texas, and Florida — insurance companies end up purchasing a lot of expensive reinsurance, and those costs get passed down to customers.

This is the biggest factor behind the recent surge in home insurance premiums, and Keys doesn’t expect it to stop anytime soon. In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Jacques de Vaucleroy, the chairman of the major reinsurance firm Swiss Re, said that reinsurance premiums will continue to rise until people stop building in dangerous areas.

Good article, several interesting specifics and a food overview. The last bold is mine.
