That analysis incorrectly treats Biden and Trump voters as homogenous, which isn’t true. I’ll use Georgia as an example because I lived there. Georgia Democrats are quite different than San Francisco Democrats. Throughout the 2000s state level politics was pretty amiable, with conservative democrats in Atlanta more or less getting along with republicans at the state level: https://www.ajc.com/blog/politics/the-bipartisan-duo-strikes...

That changed recently when the state became the target of national politics. Suddenly, the folks on the other side of the aisle were not Georgia Democrats, but California and New York Democrats. That created a ton of polarization that didn’t exist before.

Right now, our national politics pits California and New York Democrats against Mississippi Republicans, and the rest of us just have to pick a side. Things would be far less polarized if we split up, and it was California Democrats versus California Republicans and Texas Democrats versus Texas Republicans.

Here in Maryland, we have an extremely popular Republican governor that does Republican stuff like oppose public transit and try to keep taxes low. State politics is quite civil, because Baltimore isn’t San Francisco (despite voting similarly for Biden) but neither is Carroll County Mississippi (despite voting similarly for Trump).

Would that be all citizens? Using Florida as an example if they seceded would all current Florida residents lose their US citizenship? What about people visiting Florida - or those with multiple homes (snow birds etc...)?

What if you personally object to the secession - would the US allow you to retain your citizenship and "immigrate" to Georgia?

And, what if Florida refused to recognize a class of residents as new citizens? What would happen to all the federal prisoners located in Florida when secession happened - Florida probably doesn't want to adopt a large population of incarcerated Americans, they'd probably try to give them back to America somehow - ditto for incarcerated Floridians being held outside the state - though Florida might not want them back anyways.

I think, at EOD, the US would probably offer continued US citizenship to any Florida residents who refused to accept Florida citizenship - which would likely result in Florida being a majority expat country, since, would you rather throw your personal future in with some new secessionist government or an established government that might end up eating Florida in a few weeks anyways?

i dont think so , why do you need a bot in the first place ... its probably to run a trend of some sort, correlate that with when the users were created should give a good base .. current MAU's stand around 0.46 B users , 50 M tweets on the user base would avg 10 tweets a month that sounds right ... if new account which stays under this limit would result in a False negative

Other automaker AEB (automatic emergency braking) systems have the same stationary object detection deficiency and specifically indicate that the system can fail under these circumstances [1].

Tesla gets called out because their autosteer is so good at lane keeping, comparatively speaking. Their new high resolution radar [2] (Phoenix) they’ve registered with the FCC, as well as a retrofit campaign across the fleet, will likely resolve this gap. If so, I’m unsure what happens when other automakers continue to have this deficiency as their autosteer capability improves but they don’t have high res forward facing radar. Will NHTSA hold legacies to the same standard?

i think the plain definition of the word "constitution" ie laws which govern powers and obligations, is entirely appropriate in this context

the laws which construct and constrain the european union ie the treaties of member states can be appropriately called a constitution

just because there is not one document called "THE CONSTITUTION" doesn't mean one does not exist

the ecj is a constitutional court because it does judicial review of eu law and can strike down laws that break the treaty ie that are unconstitutional
I'm NAL either, but most lawyers speaking on this, with knowledge of the clauses thrown into these contracts speculate that he'd be taken to court for breach of contract.

IIRC, previous acquisitions that were attempted to be weaseled out of were forced to go through by the courts, when the acquisitor's finances weren't the issue.

EDIT: Ooh, the contract is public. Guess that makes sense, as it's a public company. Relevant to this, but section 8.1.d is the stanza relevant to this discussion. And the Act I definitions does define the "parent termination fee" at $1B.

They don't get re-written because they can't be re-written without tearing down everything built on top. In every case though there is some newer software out there is inspired by but aiming to "fix" all the short comings of the predecessor.
Does anyone know whether the Roborock S7 + empty station is supported? I saw someone on GitHub talking about this model, but on the website it isn't listed.
I wonder, if history took another turn and proposed laws were passed through (so phone providers would have to start to monitor their customers phones) would that mean end of PinePhone and the likes? I mean phones that let people run their Linux distribution and decide what software they want to install?

I can imagine there might be a way to lock GSM module in mobiles distributed to the mass customer so sim cards distributed by provider only work with GSM modules they distribute. I wonder if this would be the case.

And also service like Skype phone would probably be banned too?

Or maybe, when it comes to monitoring they only mean content and not actual communication? So Nokia 3310 would still be OK?

75% of fresh grads are below mediocre, to put it very mildly. 50% of candidates with a seemingly OK employment record or portfolio are too.

This is just asserting the same thing over and over again. You can go upthread to the simulation to see that when you are in the "Monty showed you a goat" scenario, the results for staying and switching are equal. If you rewrite the simulation such that Monty always shows you a goat and look at the scenarios where "Monty showed you a goat" (i.e., all of them), you will see that switching wins.

Their local regulations, which is exactly the problem crypto aims to solve.

Some see illegal activity - I see consenting individuals being enabled to engage in free trade. Personally I would question anyone that would believe people shouldn't be able to trade their resources freely with consenting individuals. Humans shouldn't be slaves to the authoritarians they may have been born under.

The solution to stopping unethical activity should be to stop that unethical activity. It shouldn't be to limit and regulate all activity to simply make it less convenient to participate in unethical activity.

Congratulations on Kratos coming out of Beta.

We evaluated Ory a few months ago. My understanding:

1. Ory Kratos provides session-based authentication and user management.

2. Ory Hydra is a self-managed server that secures access to your applications and APIs with OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect.

Basically we want to replace AWS Cognito (which is pretty much abandonware) to secure our API so we needed both applications. Unfortunately we had to put our efforts on hold:

1. Bugs around traits meant we had issues around password change, password recovery and email change/reverifications for our use-case

2. Lack of documentation prevented us making progress on 2FA/WebAuthn

3. Bearer token/Oauth consent flow wasn't available without a lot of work because Kratos and Hydra are not "integrated" [1]. Someone shows how they rolled their own integration [2].

I'd love for someone to advise that we were wrong or misunderstood things or that things have moved on since then!

I don't. You rarely see crashes of other vehicles make the press, but with Teslas you do.

Tesla articles get views because of both the Tesla haters and fanboys, makes financial sense for news sites to publish them. That increased press leads to increased investigations.
A technology doesn't need to revolutionize the world in order to be good. The bitcoin white paper itself says that fiat electronic payments work well enough for most transactions.

> I also think that relatively few real-world problems are made easier by blockchain's strengths - and many of them are situations where you're seeking to avoid some kind of censorship. I think avoiding censorship is important and I'm glad we have a technology that is useful there - but by volume most human interactions do not have to worry about censorship.

What's funny about that is China is adopting blockchain technologies specifically to bind together databases for tracking social credit scores across different provinces because they've previously been silo'ed and unable to communicate with each other in a straightforward way (for whatever reason).

China is banking on blockchain technologies precisely because it's can be such a powerful censorship tool.

> Saying America spends more is pretty weak claim because Americans are fatter, more often shot, face worse natural disasters (hurricanes, earth quakes)... Of course they spend more.

“Fatter“ and “more often shot” are at least in part due to choices about the focus and distribution of physical and mental health care, not independent factors (in fact, the political faction most defensive of the ways in which the US system differs from the less-expensive, comparable overall outcomes systems in the rest of the developed world also is prone to claiming that the elevated risk of being shot is primarily a product of defects in the health care delivery system, though they tend to lose focus on doing something about those deficiencies quickly after pointing to them.) If you've got evidence that the health impacts of natural disasters are greater—in a way explained by the nature of the disasters alone and not choices in the structure of the health care system—in the US than any, much less all, of the other advanced economies in the OECD, please point it out, because that would be interesting.
> It positively affects usability, just like the other qualities you described.

It does indeed. "Aesthetics" in the most accurate sense of the word,
as opposed to orderliness or just "looking right", is about how it
makes us feel. Some people seem particularly sensitive to it and say
they can't use a site or application that feels wrong. I respect that
nuanced choosyness. Indeed I'm sure there's a biological thing going
on, as in the way we select berries to eat or choose partners to mate
with. Hard to introspect parts of our brain say "that's okay" or
"that's off, don't touch". Aesthetics is very real.

But (there's always a but :) ... it should never be put ahead of
functionality. As I see it that's what makes "Design" design, and not
Art. It's blending aesthetics and elegance within a practical value
set. And very often that "requirements set" is given to us designers
by another... a film director, a product manager, an information
architect etc. They say - "Here's what it has to do, (functional
requirement) now go design it (non-functional)".

And what I am saying is that, in Web Design at least, the designers
have gotten the upper hand, and that's partly the fault of developers,
system architects, or project managers for letting themselves get
pushed around like that.

[1]

> Corrupt governments like Canada

I'm also curious as to the definition of "corruption" you're choosing to use here, as it seems to be totally foreign to the one I understand the one I'm able to find definitions for online.

You're free to go to the ballot box to vote in a different set of politicians or petition for reforms to be passed. The emergency act powers are certainly controversial & we can have a debate about whether those powers are overbroad but I don't see how that's corruption (in which case the PATRIOT Act and the TSA are corruption but then that word loses all meaning). We can have debates about the ability for law enforcement to ruin your life without the legal system even getting involved. That's still not corruption by any definition I can find. To my knowledge, the balances of these accounts weren't transferred anywhere. The government did this to disperse the protests that were phenomenally more disruptive to the Canadian economy than the BLM protests were to the US economy in a drastically less violent response than what the BLM protestors saw from Washington DC (& all around the country).

Generally the definition of corruption I'm familiar with is members of the government making decisions that aren't in the best interest of the people they are governing but instead enrich themselves or their allies or otherwise wielding their power for self-interest goals, particularly through subterfuge and dishonesty. The goal of the government to be good stewards of the public good and for the public to have faith that they're doing that. Democracy depends on full information about the goings on of those in the government being available to voters. That's why subterfuge is generally a key component of corruption.

Long rant. I will take on one part:

> Democratic socialists. Testimony is evidence.

One of the reasons that a lot of rape is not reported is because the "testimony" is extracted in an adversarial setting from the victim him or her self. The victim is then likely (depending on local laws of evidence) to have his or her lifestyle put on trial. To be portrayed as a "slut" with regrets.

It is a system set up by what a lot of people reasonable define as "rape culture".

Not to be unreasonably down on social democracy, it is just that dealing with the horrid things that happens sometimes (rarely we hope) between people away from witnesses is very difficult for any community.
