I think this is a misleading title.
night862 · 2 months ago
I disagree. In my opinion, this is a merely bad title. Regardless, don't you agree that it should be changed?

Not quite. You had a bunch of workers at Tyson Chicken and Hormel Foods... At Tyson, underage and other undocumented workers were complaining about OSHA type stuff... next thing, there's a raid, 900 workers rounded up. Awkward moment as many of them spoke about how Tyson knew they were undocumented, and even handed over the written instructions provided to them on how to fill out paperwork and stay under the radar if they were.

"That is outside the scope of this investigation." Nothing ever happened.

At Hormel, complaining about all sorts of strange diseases and health conditions, possibly from inhaling aerosolized pig brain all day long? Oh, look, another raid.

"Won't someone rid me of these meddlesome workers?"

Just a theory but it seems highly plausible in both these cases that the companies and ICE colluded... stage a big photo op, get rid of problematic undocumented workers and oh, hey, wouldn't you know, no plans to investigate the company?

This is also your friendly reminder that visa overstays are a misdemeanor, but for an employer, assisting or knowingly hiring undocumented workers is a felony. Tough on crime, indeed.

If you have time, can you link reporting?

Would you go into someone's home, tell them you hate them, want them dead and start setting fires in their living room then be surprised when they kick you out?

Dude you're directly conflating criticizing the government with arson.

I don't understand why you assume that the government is following all the laws when it comes to cell phones and cloud data but won't when it comes to ring data?
night862 · 4 months ago
Well, they don't.

They definitely need to follow the law when they get it from the Telco, but Cops can use their CSS/IMSI catcher all they want, theres almost no way to tell. But they can not then go to court and say "Yeah—we listened to their phone call and searched the car."

With this its no problem. No Hailstorm to buy for the entire force and there isn't any federal oversight on this sort of thing as near as I can tell. If you think police don't do crimes I've got a bridge to sell you.

I have a great collection of ansi colorscripts if they want to use it to test the displays. I saw they had some pretty basic ones
night862 · 4 months ago
Definitely swing by and let 'em know. They've been in the ASCII (and maybe ANSI) scene for quite a time

What do you audit if both the tally and the paper ballot are consistent? The only check possible is the voter checking themselves before they hand over the paper ballot.
night862 · a year ago
Are you saying that the only check possible is looking at it while its in your hand?

night862 commented on First scientific study of the Paris catacombs   theguardian.com/world/202... · Posted by u/Teever

>The project is now in its third year and the team will produce the first preliminary findings before the end of the year. Charlier predicts the work will outlive his career.

Excited to see what will come from this study over the next years, this was my favorite place to see in Paris last year, and wasn't too hard to schedule the visit (I think I booked one or two days before). Some sections are closed, and I read the catacombs are not fully mapped. Wondering if they will find something or someone long thought to be lost down there.

night862 · a year ago
Almost all of the catacombs is closed. The tourism portion is like a few hundred feet. I have a couple of interesting links for you from UNDERGROUND KONTROL

Here's a guided tour of the closed portion by a knowledgable enthusiast: https://youtu.be/O3ufzGxfW6Y

here's a short (20 min) French language mini-documentary about the pastime of people who go to the catacombs. https://youtu.be/nRISC0cJwMU

It documents a real project they undertook to uncover and infiltrate the location of the WWII Nazi bunker for the purposes of producing a Rave. The rave had electricity that they were able to secretly install by jack hammering through a meter thick concrete wall.

Has anyone done similar experiments with EVE's marketplace?
night862 · a year ago
Yes, a LOT of people.

There is a lot of this in EvE Online and it's a valid and welcome play style. Unfortunately, everybody will tell you its opsec if you ask for details.

If you want more information about EvE Online's extremely deep and intricate economy (Essentially everything is built by players who mine ore to make components who resell to integrators that have associated distributors and clients and so forth) you can check Oz on youtube who makes market and market analysis content ( https://www.youtube.com/@OZeve )

Very closely related, EvE Online now has an official MS Excel plugin from Microsoft with full API integration with EvE Online. This game is an effective way to become an expert using MS Excel and its full, powerful integrations: Oz' Quick Guide: https://youtu.be/eAogNNeDZuo

EvE Online also has a convention where our EvE Ted Talks are presented to one another (like defcon) called Fanfest. Here's 51 minutes: Fanfest 2023 "Market Spreadsheet Masterclass" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ql6IU1eZpM

If you have an idea, or want to see if you can do this, the free-to-play account can for zero dollars if you already have an MS Excel license or are able to integrate your own solution. The limitation is you will start with zero capital, knowledge, intuition, and F2P accounts can't make nearly as many orders as a fully skilled character.

McDonald is big enough to change suppliers of machines and impose easy maintenance.

In principle, but they probably contracted this out decades ago. Theres a lot of licensing requirements and regulations surrounding dairy.

This is actually the real source and meaning of the classic track by Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band, "Safe as milk." Dairy is a huge systemic risk, operates on extremely narrow windows everywhere in its production and if left unmanaged will cause outbreaks of horrifying diseases like Typhoid.
