New games? In this economy?!
This was a super interesting, informative, and easy to understand summary of something I've always felt was daunting.
Thank you!
That piece of shit absolutely deserved federal charges and much more, but the prosecution was always on his side. They sank his case repeatedly.
He crossed state lines in the course of executing his plan. It was always going to become federal.
The general idea is that you use it to take notes on research papers or websites (optionally though it's Zotero integration), then when the time comes to write a technical paper, you can research from the comfort of your Zettelkasten, directly cite the research you took notes on and automate proper citations with BibTex, write in raw markdown if preferred, create tables natively, embed charts and graphs directly and properly track them using figure notation, do full layout templates in LaTeX, support LaTeX math equations, and a lot more.
Basically it solves the fragmentation problem researchers have had for a long time by integrating all the standards instead of trying to centrally replace them or declare them unnecessary.
I'll also toss out Zettlr, which is ideal for technical/scientific writing and publishing. Massive displacement in the scientific/technical community pushing out the incumbent Google, Microsoft, and (gasp) raw LaTeX.
So the way it works elsewhere is much more simple and private. After you vote the results so far are printed on a receipt.
You then drop your reciept in a drop box outside the polling place, which is run by an independent organization, usually run by or partnered with independent press. They can look at the receipt results over time to validate the vote is being conducted fairly and votes aren't being lost. Many also post the results so far so you can compare to make sure your vote counted for the person you voted for.
Honestly, we need electoral receipts we can compare against the final tallys vote by vote. At least until we get rid of the electoral college.
I've heard from multiple independent 3 letter agency associates (past and present) that hackers often often get frustrated and quit US Gov work due to the strict "rules of engagement", that limit offensive operations to critical US infrastructure and government systems.
Often times they know that adversaries are going to attack well in advance and even send advance notice (or retroactive notice) to important targets in some cases. But their operations are, according to them, limited to non-disruptive (though impressive, thorough, and highly specialized) information gathering.
No guarantees that all hands of the government are playing by the same rules, but at least those people's story was pretty consistent.
