Ballot Access News – Nevada Supreme Court Removes the Green Party from the Ballot

Sep 072024
 

On September 6, the Nevada Supreme Court voted 5-2 to remove the Green Party from the ballot. Nevada State Democratic Party v Nevada Green Party, 24 OC 00107.1B. The lower court had kept the party on the ballot. Here is the 18-page opinion.
When the Green Party began its petition drive, the Nevada Secretary of State furnished a sample form. But, the Nevada Secretary of State sent an incorrect version. The petition blank should have contained a sentence saying the circulator attests that, to his or her belief, all the signatures were of registered voters. The petition blank for initiatives does not have such a requirement. Furthermore the requirement that this sentence be included is not mentioned…

Deeplinks – You Really Do Have Some Expectation of Privacy in Public

Sep 072024
 

Being out in the world advocating for privacy often means having to face a chorus of naysayers and nihilists. When we spend time fighting the expansion of Automated License Plate Readers capable of tracking cars as they move, or the growing ubiquity of both public and private surveillance cameras, we often hear a familiar refrain: “you don’t have an expectation of privacy in public.” This is not true. In the United States, you do have some expectation of privacy—even in public—and it’s important to stand up and protect that right.
How is it possible to have an expectation of privacy in public? The answer lies in the rise of increasingly advanced surveillance technology. When you are out…

Fun with virtualization – Finding a job in this modern era

This is going to be something different, and maybe to explain where I’ve been the last month. Setting myself up for failure Back in 2012, I had been laid off, but during my exit interview, something odd happened, the company that had bought us out to crush us had their entire networking group walk. The directory apparently got a good offer, but in the DEC tradition, he’d told them that he was going to take everyone with him. Everyone from the engineers, the team manager, to even the cable runners. The entire group walked.

Hackaday – How Much Resolution Does Film Really Have?

Sep 072024
 

Have you ever scanned old negatives or print photographs? Then you’ve probably wondered about the resolution of your scanner, versus the resolution of what you’re actually scanning. Or maybe, you’ve looked at digital cameras, and wondered how many megapixels make up that 35mm film shot. Well [ShyStudios] has been pondering these very questions, and they’ve shared some answers.
The truth is that film doesn’t really have a specific equivalent resolution to a digital image, as it’s an analog medium that has no pixels. Instead, color is represented by photoreactive chemicals. Still, there are ways to measure its resolution—normally done in lines/mm, in the simplest sense.
[ShyStudios] provides a full explanation of what this means, as well as more…
