In Britain and the (then-future) USA, September 1752 had three Thursdays - Wednesday, September 2 (Julian) was followed by Thursday, September 14 (Gregorian), and then there was Thursday the 21st and 28th. That month had only two Sundays and two Mondays. Other countries that made the Julian-Gregorian transition at other times will have similarly short months somewhere else in their history.

There might be an instance of six of the same weekday in a month, if some area repeated the right day while moving from the Asian side of the international date line to the American side. Alaska's the only example I can find, but they also switched from Julian to Gregorian at the same time, so they had Friday, October 6, 1867 (Julian) followed by Friday, October 18, 1867 (Gregorian).

Polling tries to figure out how everyone is going to vote, and if you look at the trends, it still mostly works. NP-hard problems can be estimated. I'm not saying that systems like RCV aren't better when compared to others, but that parties can still attempt to game the system.

Ultimately, the real tradeoffs with voting systems are societal I feel. Districts aren't mentioned enough in conversations like this. You can have districts and elect multiple people, through smaller and closer elections. If you must elect one person, you can still have an odd number of districts and pick a winner. To game neutrally drawn districts, people would have to move.

Are there many vaccines that require boosters after only a few months? I'm not aware of any.

I got a tetanus booster a couple of years ago in response to an injury. Should be good for another 10 years.

By now it's plainly obvious these "vaccines" are not anywhere near the same level of effectiveness, they didn't understand what would happen "in the real world" and the vaccines don't actually prevent transmission or indeed serious injury or death.

So please don't pretend it's the same type of thing. That is sad justification for misplaced faith rather then adjusting world view to match current reality.

The rest of your post is just nonsense hate speech based on pseudoscience, wishes and political bias. An extremely disgusting authoritarian political bias at that.
Aside from me thinking it's visually distracting,

I get the argument, but if I was really concerned with screen space I'd just get a model with a bigger screen.

For my own workflow, I use almost the whole top bar for tool/automation shortcuts, so this is cutting a chunk of my space for such a tiny amount of space added.

Right now it's hanging past the left side of my webcam.

If it does black out the notch for videos though, then that's a lot better, ty for that info.

Does keeping the top bar black essentially hide the bezel? Or does it just make it not stand out as much?

As discussed elsethread, out of bounds unsigned integers are as wrong as negative indices. And checking for positive and in bound is no more expensive than checking for just within bounds.

The only issue with negative indices is that it is no longer possible to have containers-of-bytes as large as the address space, but except for that tiny time window when an usable 4GB address space was actually available on 32 bits systems, it is in practice not a big restriction.
Yep. Actually there can be up to three "maps" displayed side by side.

The new metro "diagram" that tries to to clearly show information about how the routes work, without being geographically accurate.

The new map that is geographically accurate, but less detailed with respect to the routes, but also shows selected bus stations.

Optionally, in lower Manhattan, a third geographic map that for lower Manhattan blown up to the be the same size as the others (and allowing more detail). A smaller blown-up version is included in in the main geographical map as an inset, with greater detail, but perhaps not as much as the fully sized version? Unclear.

Any recommendations?

I find that to be a pretty charming belief. It's probably correlated timeline wise with when such things did change on that, but I highly doubt it was the reason for the mission statement change.

Has anybody explored GR equations with multiple, say 2, timelike dimensions? We're making some "obvious" assumptions about how physics should work and one of the central assumptions is the single straight line of time. I feel like this assumption is similar to the Ptolematic model with Earth in the center.

GR works equally well with all topologies of spacetime and we're just assuming that it's 3+1. The Kaluza-Klein theory adds a small 4th dimension and derives most of the EM equations out of GR. So I wonder if we just need to make a better guess what the timelike dimensions look like.

Don't they have to spend it for a VAT to take effect? The idea of this tax was that the billionaires would get taxed even on unrealized gains (maybe not the exact correct term). That is, they couldn't just sit on the money. With a VAT, they can.

But Pelosi shows that this runs into the usual problem of big-spending plans - they run out of other people to take the money from. Eventually, they have to take the money from you, no matter how much they promised the wouldn't...
They do have have to get a judge to sign it though. So presumably the judge at least thinks about the implications.
SCOTUS also said the eviction ban needed to be an act of congress. Congress debated it since then and couldn't come up with something they agreed on, so nothing was passed. So then, on the 2nd go around, Biden is using the CDC to come up with it, again, bypassing the congress which SCOTUS said was the only legal path forward. Congress could grant the CDC the authority to do so, but it hasn't. I think bypassing SCOTUS can only be argued to be intentional on the 2nd round.

Nobody alleged anything was unconstitutional. The question was whether the CDC exceeded the authority Congress gave it. The Court declined to answer that question when it was first raised. It answered it, definitively, the second time, striking down the moratorium extension.

“Nonexistence Seems Preferable” Post-Truth, Feed Identity, and the NPC Afterlife
>> The fact that you don't realize this is indicative of how unfounded your fears are about government over-reach.

This is very amusing... maybe I do realize it, maybe I believe the government is already over reaching, and maybe, just maybe I oppose many of the things you are talking about.

Maybe I do not want to see government expanded even more.

>>Additionally, the Free Market provides health insurance companies with the power to charge extra who smoke, don't exercise, or otherwise practice unhealthy habits.

Ok, and...

You seem to think I would be opposed to this, I am not. I am opposed to government not voluntary exchange. To the extent the government requires insurance or the concept of insurance for healthcare to take place in the US is the core of the problem, not Freed markets.

Nothing really in healthcare is free market though, it is ironic that you claim I do not understand the number of regulations on food production,but them proclaim Healthcare and/or Health Insurance are a free market.

That is laughable....

>>Anti-government people forget that they have a lot more influence over government organizations than they do private ones.

Martin Gilens and Benjamin Paige would disagree with you. Their analyses suggest that majorities of the American public actually have little influence over the policies our government adopts. [1]

Financially, cloud has become an extraordinary profit machine for Microsoft, far beyond anything traditional consumer Windows ever has been (for a long time obviously it was far and away the cash cow).

Their operating income margin, for a company so massive, is mind boggling. $70 billion in operating income from $168b in sales (41.6%). By comparison it was 28% in 2013. So their margin has rather dramatically re-expanded during the Nadella era, like they're a younger company again. I think Microsoft is benefiting from not gorging and becoming obese again (employee count vs sales) as it did during the late Gates years and the Ballmer years. Microsoft could trivially load up on people for no great reason other than to always be expanding to fill the margin (many companies do that), but they seem to have made a conscious decision to be more disciplined. I bet that's working in their favor, as high levels of bloat usually acts like quicksand for larger older companies. They're probably more nimble now than when they had half the sales back in 2013. Nadella seemed immediately able to relax on the Windows-everything philosophy in a way Gates and Ballmer were unable to (they were perhaps too wed to the first chapter of Microsoft, people get blinded by such biases, even very smart people). And to his credit, Gates didn't try to get in Nadella's way as he made changes, Gates had been chairman of Microsoft from 1981 to 2014, with his stature and financial capabilities he could have been a real slag in the way of change.
This is next level rationalizing. For a president to say in no clear terms that he is going to make a rule he knows is illegal is something else.

mediabiasfactcheck looks pretty terrible too. A quick spot survey of who they think is left, right, and accurate is obviously off. Then when you look at the biased organizations they leverage for they're "fact checking", you can't have much hope for the end results.

"fact checking" is just another power center that is easily taken over by those seeking political power.
Looks about like the hardware you'd get for a N2040 laptop or a prepaid unlocked phone. Half of the stuff on the shelf at Walmart looks like this today.

https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js There are hundreds of settings that can be configured to harden Firefox. A lot were upstreamed from the Tor Browser via the Tor Uplift project. The afforementioned user.js is well documented and the most well maintained that I'm aware of.

This is one of the leading reasons why I think Firefox is a better browser than competitors because they don't allow this level of customization without hacking on the source code, like say Brave does. However not even Brave or Ungoogled Chromium is hardened as much as Firefox is with this user.js.

I've recently heard, that while many Amish communities didn't adopt the telephone, they have adopted the mobile phone - "because it can be turned off."
The article does say "specific addresses and phone numbers." So if a legal warrant can be issued for police to stake out a specific address, or wiretap a specific phone number, why would it be worse to have another legal warrant for asking Google for information about searches for that same address or phone number?
I would love the opposite: text messages that can be go from text-to-speech. Specially useful when doing chores and those long threads some people write. Or one of those busy groups where everyone is saying something. Just hit play and let the phone read them all. (I use WhatsApp)

Or is this a feature I am unaware on phones?
Let’s reframe: Facebook is competing in the market of having their button or Javascript on every webpage if the world. Google Analytics, Google Fonts, Facebook, Twitter all 4 have features which require JS (“share”, “login” or “analytics”) or can collect page loads and addresses, thus able to collect user behavior on websites that are not theirs.

Tiktok only competes on user interests within their app but can’t collect user profiles elsewhere. In terms of privacy, they’re harmless compared to FB/Google/Twitter.
I'd like to think that congress is looking at regulating Facebook (and social media in general) and not only thinking about antitrust law.
