Macro scale doesn't have to mean national. There are many precincts per district, and many districts per county, etc. > So in terms of actual representation, it would actually be better to have a district that voted nearly unanimous

Only looks like a problem on a micro scale. If elections are indeed 50:50 on a macro scale, then yes, you would want all purple districts, because the "loser" voters are indeed close to 50%. If the voters are 70:30 on a macro scal

While wary of noise levels (eg rules established to abuse power within the hierarchy), it's not unreasonable to assume some religious rules developed empirically over time. Not eating shellfish likely due to risks of disease, for examp

In terms of invention, sure, but definitely not in terms of wide consumer availability/adoption.

I don't use it anymore since I find CLI faster, and am starting to migrate to Nomad, but my main gripe with Portainer was the spotty compose support, that I basically had to write them outside, launch them, and then have them show up i

I still read this as a frame of reference with absolute positions. I think the point of GP was that any time travel device you build, calculations/projections you make, will all be built around a frame of reference where the planet IS

The desired outcome was reached, and the effort and money spent likely wouldn't have been spent unless deemed necessary. Always difficult to draw direct causality though.

I can't disagree more with this. Absolutely do not bring a living person into this world in a coin flip over whether or not it might mean something to your own fulfilment. I am a parent, and absolutely love it and find it extremely rew

You are of course correct. And to straighten another record, it was specifically cape gooseberries I used (they're not called either here), which might be relevant to your future comparisons.

Indeed, it was originally lamb, but that's another point for fusion, I'd say.

Agreed, and not only on that point. Al pastor for example came from Lebanese immigrants. Almost all food was fusion at some point, and that's what's great. I was making tacos one day and didn't have any tomatillos. I did have

Not GP, but I think the point being made is that regardless of your ability to distinguish between the two, you still need to act according to one of the two, with less weight given to which it ends up being. Showing up late means you avoid

Verifying is inherently both easier and less energy intensive than producing. I can critique a great book I couldn't write. I can marvel at John Carmack's early iD code without having been able to come up with it. I can be immense
