Are we watching the same election? We just had an election with historic turnout and easy voting and Biden will have won by less than Obama did twice. Against a historically unpopular President in the middle of a pandemic. Doesn’t that suggest the map is about as blue as we thought?

Also, the “red team” has been actively helping expand voter access all over the country. The Republican Georgia Secretary of State and the Republican state legislature played a major role in expanding voter access in Georgia the last couple of years (obviously they’re the ones with the actual power to change the election laws): https://www.ajc.com/news/state--regional-govt--politics/vote...

> Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said the increase in registered voters shows the success of automatic voter registration and highlights other ways election officials have improved voting access, such as absentee voting for anyone who requests a mailed ballot and three weeks of early voting.

I’m curious why you think that is so, and why is for example alcohol and cigarettes (or even sugar) included as drugs? Certainly many medical drugs should be included.

There is a reason people use all of these and for example marijuana is not really more dangerous.

It's really too much information for a single comment. I do try to blog about it and I do have a reddit called r/HealthWorks where I keep hoping -- someday! -- people will join and talk with me and yadda.

But in a nutshell (and this is very quick and dirty -- I have been doing this nearly twenty years):

1. A comment by my physician friend -- who minored in parasitology -- convinced me that I was correct that my husband had brought a parasitic infection back from Saudi and infected me with it sexually. So that same day, I said to my husband "You are never touching me again without a condom." My condition stabilized about two weeks later (after another round of antibiotics was prescribed) and I began slowly getting better thereafter.

2. He and I later divorced and I have been celibate for more than fifteen years while working on my health. Sex is germy and it was too much of a health risk for me for a long time. This is also part of a more general principle I have followed: If you have a chronic or recurring infection, figure out what the damn source is and resolve that piece. You don't pick up infections randomly from the ether or some nonsense.

3. I took about $300 worth of supplements for a few years to redress a huge backlog of nutritional deficiencies.

4. I got really picky about my diet. Among other things, I looked into fat chemistry and I avoid or limit long chain triglycerides and favor medium chain triglycerides. (Medium chain triglycerides have long been medically prescribed as beneficially for my condition and for other serious gut issues, but limiting long chain triglycerides is not anything I have ever seen recommended and it makes a really huge difference for me.)

5. The standard medical recommendation for my condition is a high fat, high salt, high calorie diet. The result is that the standard advice is to pursue a junk food diet. I do not count calories and I make an effort to get more salt than most people consume, but I got super picky about dietary quality and focused on nutritional density instead of calories per se.

6. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Or several pounds if you have a compromised immune system. I work hard at avoiding exposure to germs, etc. and I currently work from home to help me have control over my environment and limit my exposure to germs, chemicals, etc.

There's no doubt more, but that's what occurs to me off the top of my head.
In accounting, when there are large discrepancies in their maths, they either hide the problem from their boss or re-do their work. In astrophysics they postulate about "hidden matter".

The one and only reason why the COVID pandemic had the divisive effect on the US is because of the inability of our soon to be prosecuted president to lead. He made it a political issue and tied it to identity politics.

That, and lack of education. Just because some people can’t understand science does not mean it doesn’t work. I saw post election comments about how some Arizonan was disappointed in his state because it legalized cannabis and raised teacher’s salaries. Said he was moving some place better. Think about that for a moment.

1. It uses two clocks, both derived from the PLL from an onboard 16Mhz MEMs oscillator: 48Mhz for usb (the usb<->serial bridge is implemented in the fpga fabric) and 24Mhz for the vga pixel clock (25.175 would be the 640x400@70Hz standard, but I compromised by dividing the usb clock by two). Using a usb<->3.3v serial cable or an fpga board w/external usb<->serial bridge you could run everything @25.175Mhz (and save half the logic in the FPGA and a kB or embedded RAM).

2. I will have to measure this and get back to you, but can't be too much, and negligible compared to the monitor in any case.

I can tell you that it's powered by a USB port and has onboard 3.3V & 1.2V regulators (300 mA & 150 mA max respectively). It doesn't currently implement a standby mode, but for reference the FPGA supports a standby mode which comsumes about 21uA according to the datasheet.

Sadly, in a lot of places, antipsychotics from the 50s (i.e. Chlorpromazine) are the FIRST kind of therapy given, even to adolescent patients with "generic" depression, alongside SSRIs.

No consent given or asked for, let alone informed consent. You are told "take this".

This is not in circumstances of hospitalization, let alone involuntary hospitalization, but regular outpatient treatment.

People who are in a bad place generally don't research meds, and if they are not extremely uncooperative, or paranoid, will take them and the doctors' words at face value.

Consequences are severe and long-lasting.

Absolutely shameful and despicable. These doctors should be shamed by the scientific community for [almost] using prehistoric notions of "hysteria" to mistreat ilness by basically showing "see, he's not crying anymore! PROGRESS!" while pointing to a barely awake, sedated patient.

Any and all progress is usually SSRIs and psychotherapy, if available. Why do they give these antiquated meds that are not appropriate for the situation (i.e. CPZ) is beyond me. These are not psychoses, this is Episodium depressivum, gradus moderati .

Sorry, had to get that out. This is from personal experience.

Well, no.

What it tells us is the people are leaning one way and politicians on both sides aren't. Mainly because for the most part with the war on drugs the politicians are listening to the police and sheriff unions which in some states have incredible political power.

For what its worth, the voters of the US also rejected giving politicians more tax powers, prevented the reinstatement of preferential college admissions, and of course clamped down on politicians selectively deciding who is a contractor and who is not.

A big win all around for the voters and a rebuff to politicians - where they were allowed to vote. Some states either don't allow it or make it too hard to get anything out there.

> Doesn't mean we can't make an educated guess.

I don't think OPs guess is in any way educated. The whole point of this thread is that the rights for these games are complicated, and assuming that the most straightforward explanation is true is just wrong.

> A merging/acquisition will transfer all IP to the (new) parent company.

That's a bold statement that is definitely not always true. There are many reasons why it wouldn't happen, either the acquisition wasn't done properly, or maybe the IP might be kept to ensure any liability would fall on the acquired company.

>. A contracting company will grant a license to make one game, not reassign all its IP to the game studio.

Again, that's the most _likely_ explanation, but there are other very possible ones such as - the company who granted the rights to a contractor didn't have the rights to grant them in the first place, or they granted all rights to games of an IP (see EA and star wars), or some sort of right of first refusal.
Meh, people have been selling "technology-X" using this exact same argument since the beginning of time. You could swap out the "GraphQL" in your final sentence for "micro-services" and it'd swear that I've seen it in another thread ^_^

The existence of a God Response / God Object / or just a generally horrific and coupled system strikes me as a particularly human induced problem which no specific technology can actually fix.
What about discussing the unintended consequences of the War on Drugs so far? It is undeniable that as an experiment it was a complete failure and a money pit, but it's also an enabler of police brutality, cause of massive disfranchisement, contributor to public health issues, and a war on freedom in general. This is just an alternative, which is being tried in other countries and with other drugs, and so far it seems to be a better solution.

Those cartels you mention profit billions from the existence of a War on Drugs, and I'm pretty sure the last thing they want is the government meddling in their business.
Here where I live doctors prescribe anti-depressants like candies. They robbed me of two years of my life. The worst for me was derealisation and strong hallucinations. I started strongly believing that life isn't real, that what I am seeing is just a dream or that other humans are just objects that happen to move and speak. Hallucinations were crazy scary, like I saw things as if atoms of objects got magnified hundreds of times or everything was constructed of polygons (like you would switch wire frame rendering). Absolutely crazy thoughts like I was convinced that if I cut myself with a knife it will give me pleasure like scratching an itch. I had a couple of suicidal episodes and ended up in hospital. Somehow nobody connected that this could be anti depressants. I then stopped them on my own and few weeks later started CBT therapy. That fortunately was the most I needed to "repair" my thought processes. I am okay, but I sometimes have the flashbacks of what happened. It's just a reminder to stay away from these things. I understand this may help other people but it didn't help me. When I talked about hallucinations with the doctor he just prescribed a different one. Every 4-6 months I had a different one.

What is your opinion of Alcohol, lower grade stimulates (Caffeine), and pre-processed unnatural addictive substances (pure sugar)?

If you are on welfare should you be prohibited from drinking alcohol? What about eating low nutritional value fast foods?

Obesity and alcoholism is far more rampant than most drugs used in the war on drugs. In America ~40% of our population was obese in 2016 [0], ~25% of people drank >5 drinks in 1 day over the past year [1], >50% of America drinks coffee daily and of that group 50% report "severe head aches" that last 2 to 5 days when attempting to stop. Meanwhile cannabis usage is around ~12% of the population [3] and I've not been able to find unrefuted studies of it's negative effects while for obesity, alcoholism, and caffeine there's some compelling work out there linking these to interesting population statics.

It's medicine so it's not actually science or iron clad but from a risk & pervasiveness perspective do you think introducing legislation on these substances is warranted?

Probably four years
Oregon and Colorado have successfully done mail in voting for years, with safeguards like ballots having to arrive by Election Day and signature verification. Democrats fought to get rid of rules like that all over the country, and succeeded in Pennsylvania.
This election should be a wake up call to entire country and Democrats in particular. There was no blue wave, if anything Biden has barely squeaked past the post.

If it were not for the pandemic I'm convinced the Trump turnout for this election would have produced results rivaling Reagan in 1984. Even with a pandemic he was able to drive more voters to the polls on election day than any point in American history.

No, there are 2 senate races, and each had a Republican and a Democrat as top two vote-getters. In one race, the Republican came on top and in the other the Democrat did, but neither winner reached the 50% threshold required by state law, so both races are going to runoff.

In the race the Democrat was leading, the Republican candidate had a history of minor (local) scandals, and only held the seat because she was appointed to it.
Exactly, which is not the title in this submission - which is editorializing and misleading.
It's probably impossible for Trump's coronavirus response to have been seen as sane or reasonable, regardless of what he did. For example, Biden very publicly claimed without basis that Trump's China travel ban actually made things worse, whilst meanwhile here in the UK one of the avenues of attack on our government (which is seen as Trump-like) is that our scientists reckon that not introducing a ban on travel from China almost exactly like Trump's made things worse. Trump gets attacked for not imposing a centrally-mandated lockdown, ours gets attacked for imposing too much centralized command and control and not leaving things up to regions. And so on and so forth. Also, no matter how much Covid testing either the UK or US does, it's always described as though it's falling behing the rest of the world regardless of facts. (I wonder if that will magically fix itself once Biden takes office.) And as for hoping to get good outcomes overall... look at what's been happening throughout Europe. It would take something more like a miracle than a basic, workable response of the kind you could expect from a government of typical competence to get good enough results that it wouldn't be seen as a failure. France, run by someone the entire media spun as basically the anti-Trump, has been reporting about half as many cases a day as the entire US with a rather smaller population and they don't seem to be slowing down.

The coronavirus pandemic seems close to a no-win scenario. Even most of the success stories (which, I should note, always seem to be countries very different to Europe and the US) are a lot messier and more ambigious than they look from the million-mile foreign press view.
Singapore is largely homogeneous, is wealthy (for the area) with an average income of $9200 USD, has excellent health care that covers all citizens, is a geographically small nation state, has extremely low unemployment (even now, at 4.38%) and has a small population (5.7 million).

I saw this with my best friend during his divorce. We spent a lot of time together, often I'd go see him everyday after he got off work. Some days he'd drink two bottles of wine and a six pack.

"It's a start." I find it fascinating and very hopeful that Western scientific methods are beginning to be used to understand the significance of breathing.

Breathing is one of only two (or three) physiological processes that are both autonomic and volitional. (The other is blinking. I think there might be a third one but I forget what it is.)

It's a weird blind spot to have, eh? I mean, once you see it, it's weird that we (in the West) haven't been more interested in a systematic way in the effects of deliberate modulation of breath.

Why would we evolve to have volitional control over our breathing?
So what does this mean for potential recounts? Would they still mean anything, or is it pretty much known at this point?

Even the Trump campaign said their base of old, white voters were dying off [1]. In another 4 years, another 7.3 million older voters (typically conservative voters) will have aged out. The country will continue to turn blue [2]. Democrats still have a lot of work to do on messaging.

This was high tide for conservative votes. [3]
