The story of how this happened is quite interesting. CGP Grey did a video about how it evolved [0]. I'm not American so I can't judge how likely it is to ever change because it seems to be politically radioactive to propose a gove

I always go to threadreaderapp. In this case it's https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1373266475230789633.html Edit to add: In this case I'd recommend wikipedia, the thread is quite short and light on details

Ok so this is a union specific to Medium. What I'm not understanding is can't you have a union anyway? Why does it need to be a majority/some threshold?

This is probably demonstrating my ignorance, but what does it mean to 'fail to unionize'? Does it mean that they were trying to create a new union but not enough people joined? Typically in Australia people join unions related to

A fantastic podcast series! As a non-American I don't think I understand the zeitgeist about Appalachia, but I was touched by the whole story.

There were also some exemptions for the need for social security numbers so it's possible they could need one at some point. (from memory this only applies to grandfather in groups like the Amish who are also required to provide their

Regardless of the motivation of the creator, I'm sure the next person to pick up this tool won't have any qualms about sending spam.

What an interesting thing! This relies on taking corpuses (corpii?) of a fixed length, concatenating the unknown string and compressing the lot. The one that compresses better is likely to be the one that is the same language. I have an int

I find that the process of creating and curating the cards is as much (if not more) important than the cards themselves. My practice with anki then has some ''meat' to hang my memory off.

In one of his talks Richard Hipp actually mentioned off-hand that some storage devices allegedly use SQLite under the hood as their storage controller, with the firmware bridging the gap. (I can't find the video, but his slides are her

I am really curious about both sides of your comment, but I don't know where to start asking. How do you write parametrized SQL in a spreadsheet? And what is wrong with our data models? What even _are_ our data models?

Looking at this from a performance point of view, I think this could be useful with the addition of some tracing capability. What I mean is, reducing the size of a barely-used struct isn't worth the effort, but reduction of a key struc

I mean there are jokes in the space program ('Burn Baby Burn', 'NOTE: BLACK SIDE DOWN', I'm sure there's more), so I don't know if expense is a limiting factor. I will admit, though, I don't know what

Or that it's a sort of early meme - someone thought it was a funny thing to add and others copied it. Maybe like an early Kilroy image. It's funny that we assume historical things must be significant, even though in our day-to-day

Do you feel safe using these pre-loved drives/computers? It seems like a handy way to pick up some kit but I'd wonder about issues with them.

I like the look of that. There's a few things I'd like to learn but I'm finding I have less and less time to invest in possible dead ends. I'd like to just throw money at the problem and book in time with someone to get

I have heard of this exact thing, but can't find the information about it. I think it was a Matt Levine article?. I'm so hazy on the details, other than that French nationals were prosecuted for alleged crimes in France because th
