  • Well overall, using these techniques has probably resolved a ton of investigations where the leads ran out and it being an overall positive. I think it would still be better that DNA from these sources cannot be used in trial. So a DNA match can give you a new angle to find other elements, but the fact DNA was used to find a trail shouldn’t be admissable.

    I guess the saying “better 100 guilty people go free rather than an innocent man should suffer” applies though.

    My bias though is probably skewed through the media I consume. I do watch a lot of channels like Lackluster YouTube videos (shows corruption and double standards in policing). I do try to balance it out with channels like Code Blue Cam which does highlight good policing too, but I would say I have an inherent distrust with policing nowadays.





  • I do think it’s important to mention that the jump to senior is largely an accumulation of domain knowledge,

    I feel that. I’m a senior dev on my team of about 7 software engineers, but I often feel like I’d just be a junior somewhere else. Worst case scenario is I can add to my resume that I helped convert a vb6 shop to a c# shop, not sure what that’s worth though xD


  • That’s not a perfect use case for it. That’s a central authority (venue) selling tickets to anyone who wants to buy them. But instead of using a local database and approving transfers from person to person and losing the ability to reverse transactions due to fraud, it’s hosted in the wild west of crypto.

    There’s nothing stopping a venue from offering your perfect use case in a centralized system, but they outsource it to Ticketmaster (namely because Ticketmaster owns like 80% of music venues or something) so they don’t have to deal with it.

    Your scenario outsources it to the block chain, who will charge gas for the transactions instead of ticketmaster charging fees.


  • I don’t know the value in a decentralized IP rights system. If the key holder gets phished, you can lose your rights to a TV series you’ve been working on. (Like Seth Greene)

    He wouldn’t have lost it and had to pay back the ransom in a traditional contract. Having a contract centralized and enforced by the legal system has many perks and I can’t ever see how a decentralized rights platform can enforce itself.


  • Im planning on giving it a try. Thought I would try dual booting pop os.

    Windows wants me to update to 11, but my processor is too old. So if I’m going to update my processor, I’ll need to update the motherboard. But the OEM license is tied to the motherboard. So I’ll have to buy a new copy of windows just to get on 11.

    So just gonna see if all the things I like to play work on pop os.

    I think the biggest thing is that I use c# for hobby programming, and I know .net core should run on Linux, but not sure about the IDE.





  • Yeah, if we could not be 2016 election deniers, that be great.

    Electoral college won’t change until Dems flip states like Texas or something to where the presidential seat is guaranteed every year.

    If the DNC didn’t want Trump to win, they shouldn’t have put up Hillary. If the repubs didn’t want Biden to win, they shouldn’t have put up Trump.

    Sadly, I think the DNC made a mistake in not setting up a replacement for Biden and letting him try for two terms.
