And that is why I am going to clean up on the betting markets. More seriously, anyone thinking of this exchange only need compare exit polls for all the states, in general and primaries.
I remember when exit polls used to be talked about a lot in the 1970s. But I think most people reading will be puzzled about why I harp on a type of polling.
Likewise I think finding exit poll results might be challenging these days in the USA. Which is a pity, indeed
You would be correct if the majority of USA states fairly counted the ballots. But if not, there is no reason to prevent a double chamber majority. In fact, it’s necessary then, because it derails paper ballot efforts.
This is a long game, so to speak. There will still be dem presidents later too.
What people who decry fascism tend to overlook is that the country has not been a democracy for a while. This is all theater on a grand scale, for decades, and we are the audience
They did not have computerized voting back then, it was paper ballots mostly. Until then I fully expect the same voting patterns as the last generation to continue; yes, democrats will win more at the mid terms. No, little will change. I fully expect democrats to win solid majorities in both houses in 2026.
Americans, as a group, should look at exit polls and understand them, and use paper ballots as the rule, not the exception. Until then, it’s just an oligarchy. And they don’t have our backs .
But I don’t think it will change any time soon
I am influenced by both and control none, bobbing along the waves of misinformation and mismanagement like a cork in the ocean .
Hi, I am a poor joke.
few people know that or will understand it; it’s been tarnished by the foundation.
If I were managing thunderbird, I would do a rebrand because I am not the first or last person to make that mistake ; there are tens of millions of me
Just for argument’s sake, it’s easier to change the behavior of one mismanaged foundation than the broken news cycles
Few know how things are structured. Or more importantly, how it could be restructured later.
I’m cynical and already looking at forks
This all assumes all years are measured by the same orbit with no mixing and matching planets or space habitats.
The standard earth year had not been adopted system wide
A plague of posts please
Have you heard of our lord and savior memory management?
No, not those other false gods
Rust is both a nice programming language, and an obnoxious social movement made of a small minority of Rust programmers who are very loud
Some socks have horrible return times
The mit license allows a mix of public and commercial code run by the same company, with minimal legal issues. One can use other tactics I am sure, but this one seems good when the commercial code absolutely needs the public code .
I think some confusion here can be resolved by stating this is anti foss, taking advantage of foss, it is capitalism taking advantage of having a good code base while making sure any contribution from outside the company is minimized. At the same time it gives my company absolute control over the private part.
Usually get into arguments here! I’m not defending it, but am saying open source would be less without.
For our use case, this makes the most sense.
I’m not at all sure about the larger trend you noticed, but I know a non trivial number are doing it for the same reasons
Speaking for myself, it’s because future monetization can be easier under mit when using a foss utility and private code.
My project would not exist at all unless there were ways to make money off it.
True, others can also use that same code too, in the exact same way, but that requires quite the investment, and those of us that are doing this are banking on not getting the interest of a monopoly in that way. We are competing against other small businesses who have limited resources.
At the same time the free part can get a boost by the community.
I comment a lot in politics here, and am sometimes an ass, so cannot name this project
He is not wrong. Unless people start to take steps , the dependency of tech will be used to chain most of us. Granted, these chains will be the kindest and gentlest chains seen in a long time.
Social revolution lives on in decentralized services, like this; the true battles will be later though. This year is a mild warm up. I can’t imagine the challenges that await many
I know well enough to quit here lol.
I’m more tickled than mad at your stuff, but even I know when I’m in a losing situation
Shout out to the employee who interrupted to accuse Microsoft of war crimes!
