Ah yes, the “pulled out box” controversy. That’s been addressed to hell and back: https://www.wsbtv.com/news/politics/georgia-election-officia... https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020&#x2

Or maybe the one where he said that he “loves” the violent mob without a single word of condemnation? How is this even a conversation at this point?

If I make a dog angry, then take its muzzle off and make it go near you, am I liable when you get bitten? I didn’t give it direction to bite you after all.

I don’t know where you’re getting your information from, but there’s at least one video of protesters violently removing the barriers https://mobile.twitter.com/elijahschaffer/status/13469665149... This is a good

Did you miss the part where the mob violently overtook the Capitol Building?

That’s an interesting question, and the 23rd amendment does throw a wrench in the works. There would probably still be a small number of residents, but it’s harder to justify three electoral votes.

The proposals I heard would keep the district but make it much smaller, creating the new state (where the majority of people live) around it; the theory being that the constitution only requires a district not to exceed a 10 mile square. Se

I wonder if there’s a concept similar to “felony murder” in a case like this? (If you rob a bank and a security guard shoots a bystander, you get charged with murder.)

Before kids, moving clocks back meant an extra hour of sleep. After kids, everyone still wakes up on time.

A familiar situation to anyone who worked in a large organization of any kind. What’s really needed on the ground and what gets funded by the top are often only tangentially related.

A phenomenon like road rage can be explained in a similar way: since the interaction in that situation is brief and unlikely to be repeated, it makes sense on some level for the response for the perceived slight to be disproportionately int

I think that says that we don't know of any naturally occurring sources that would do that, not that we don't know how to generate this signal if we wanted to (which should indeed be trivial).

Just swap the “building owner” with the “mafia boss” that demands 30% cut of the services you use for this protection.

I don’t understand the downvotes. This reply has a lot of factual information (I certainly learned something) and gets everyone closer to the truth which is what’s important at the end of the day. The original post reads like “a person who

Love this! Thanks, it was a casual idea of mine that I didn’t really think through before. Here’s a slightly different approach to this. Let’s instead assume that the set of “memorable” strings is constant (say of size N/M where N is t

It’s a bulletin board with a bunch of hired people with megaphones around it. The company decides which announcements the people with megaphones shout out. It’s free to decide not to.

Though it should be noted those “4 random word” passwords are strong only if the words are truly random (and the string is less likely to be memorable in this case). A password generator that allows retries means people will hit that button

This is just pure speculation at this point. The facts are that a leak existed and allegedly was fixed after the report. It’s quite a jump to conclude that this exact leak was used in the attack.
