CT begins exploring ranked-choice voting merits, logistics
  • The problem with any scoring style system is that there is no answer for when a person gives 2 finalists the same score. They want to vote, but the system did not gather enough information to know where to allocate it.

  • Jon Stewart's Debate Analysis: Trump's Blatant Lies and Biden's Senior Moments | The Daily Show
  • No, no they don't. Those people jumped ship after Jan 6. The only people left backing Trump are the insane religious cultists and racists that want to turn the country into a theocracy and purge anyone not white, straight and Christian.

  • Helldivers 2 director weighs in on Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree's difficulty: 'A game for everyone is a game for no one'
  • Of course they are. They literally allow you to ignore all of the most difficult game mechanics. With a great shield you literally never need to time dodges. As a mage, you can easily do ranged damage, so you don't need to time your attacks or worry about positioning. Using a summon means the boss doesn't even attack you half the time, and some of them are so powerful that they can beat many bosses on their own.

    It's actually a far better difficulty system than the standard "the game mechanics are the same, but enemies do less damage and have less health" system that most games use.

  • Nearly 20% of Microsoft SQL Servers running have passed end of support
  • What? There's lots of reasons to complain about Microsft, but their legacy support is not one of them. Almost every product they make gets 10 years of support + 3 more if you pay for it. In comparison, Postgres only does 5, MySQL is 8, and Mongo is 3.

  • Judge Orders Sale of Alex Jones’s Personal Assets but Keeps Infowars in Business
  • Laws and courts do not exist as ends in and of themselves. They're tools created to serve a greater purpose, namely to discourage and stop bad behavior. If the tool is failing at its primary purpose, it deserves criticism.

    Responding to criticisms about how the courts work with "but that's how the courts work" is missing the point.

  • Judge Orders Sale of Alex Jones’s Personal Assets but Keeps Infowars in Business
  • It was a defamation suit. Of course the goal is to shut him up and make him stop defaming his victims. The judgement is just the means to do that. Prioritizing the judgement over removing the tool he used to defame the aggrieved party is asinine.

  • Microsoft Chose Profit Over Security and Left U.S. Government Vulnerable to Russian Hack, Whistleblower Says | ProPublica Investigation
  • It's mostly the responsibility of the client to build defense in depth. If is a straight shot from your Solarwinds server to your ADFS server, where the SAML signing keys are stored, that's your fault, not Solarwinds or Microsoft. Well, I would still blame Solarwinds, because they were encouraging horribly insecure practices, like doing "agentless" monitoring using a highly privileged account.

    In this case, yes, not letting a SAML assertion signed by the ADFS server authenticate to Azure reduces defense in depth. But if you're at the point where your authentication servers have been compromised, you're already so turbo-fucked that it's very unlikely a wall like that would stop an attacker for long.
