I just played around with VYM a bit (after looking at this list [0]), seems to work ok when you know the shortcuts, I might use that in the future. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_concept-_and_mind-mapp...

If you know the channel (the guy hates built-for-cars cities with a passion) he's probably not an advocate for that. But hey if it works, those look like a nifty way to make public space a bit flexible. The cynic in me just expects tha

Well money is also part of the equation. Or is there an even cheaper option that beats those porous roads?

True, but I think you underestimate how loud traffic is. A lively pedestrian area (which there aren't many of) is probably nowhere near a busy street. It could also easily have 5 times as many people per area. Edit: Also if you watch t

This is a channel mostly about city layout and urban development. What he really argues for is changing cities and providing alternatives, not flat out banning cars.

Don't you just need to set the gateway and enable package routing on the other one?

The non-monetized user would still give content and attention to reddit. It seems to me that reddit moved from growth to monetization / exploitation.

I don't have much garden experience, and I could possibly imagine this thing surviving in a greenhouse. But on the outside I agree with you, at the least there will be some intervention required.

Couldn't the Government ban Signal relatively easily? A simple dns ban should suffice, no?

Great question. So you're limited by the 5 or so frames you have at maximum. I would just put the png in a html page that auto-refreshes every second. And then a bit of javascript for the controls. But at that points it's more doo

A great example of doing something unintended by exploiting one's knowledge of the system. Awesome!

It no longer works for me either. Try again later, it could just be overloaded.

I've just been trying to understand this. I believe the trick is in how with Adam7 there are progressively more pixels displayed with each pass. This allows you to make big changes from one pass to the next, even from almost completely

*frontrunners, yes I wasn't aware you could rank candidates equally, that makes it simpler indeed.

by thepete2 5y ago
Right, but you can argue ranking N items takes more thought thank picking 1. I like the "interoperable" way, just making choices 2 and onward optional.

I very much want dumb people to have representation.

Oh no, voting for representatives really is like a kind of "winner-take-all" filter.

Could you elaborate how RCV is less complicated? Just by eliminating tactical voting? In traditional voting you often limit yourself to the incumbents, isn't that a lot fewer choices?

by thepete2 5y ago
main points are 1. may decrease voter turnout by 5-6% 2. not as obviously fair as traditional voting 3. increases existing divides I personally think none of them are good enough points, they can all be dealt with. And 3 just means you can

IIRC in some applications of ranked choice voting it's possible to rank an arbitrary number of choices. So even voting the old-fashioned way would be fine.

by thepete2 5y ago
It gets rid of "I wanna vote for X, but they don't have a chance" and thus leads to more honest votes. IMO the major downside is complexity.

Not entirely sure, but I think there are efforts to open "free" the pinephone's modem [0] [0] https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone#Modem

The latter is what I mean. Not really marketing, more like an official announcement.

Would it not be possible to send everyone currently in the state an SMS? I personally would be okay with the government having access to this type of PSA.

It has from a certain angle: For society/the internet as a whole it might be better for no one to pay the ransom at the cost of some of them perishing. The ransomware attacks would become unprofitable and would eventually stop. But t

This is speculation, but it could be a consequence of not wanting to lock the entire file. Where a normal application could place locks on segments of a file, a web app perhaps can't do this through this api. Hence you have the choice

Hi, this sounds cool. Happy you're offering this. If you have enough time I'd definitely be interested. I've learned python back at school and want to start contributing more to open source stuff (have made few commits to the

They certainly have bought a lot of very useful "user-generated data", would be a shame if they restricted access to it now or in the future.

That's cool and makes total sense as a measure of how "ventilated" a room is, though I'm sure it has its limits.
