Now make it open source

Yeah, I don’t mean that this election was rigged or anything, I just mean that the US presidential election isn’t really the combined will of every single American. Other countries have more democratic systems. Even the house races are more democratic.

Prophetic because it calls people stupid after an undemocratic election?

implying that an election to choose a single representative for 300 million people with a 2-horse race is particularly democratic

excuse me, that is Biden with sunglasses lmao

We need to stand up and resist the collapse of western democracy before its too late. Vote, correct misinformation, run for office, be annoying as hell.

It’s possible to sample the overall vote count of a state from a small number of ballots in every precinct. There’s a high margin of error, but if the results are decisive enough, it’s possible to call a date at 2% official count.

Not sure if it’s allowed in the US, but if you can get data from counting locations before they’re officially reported, then it’s very easy to get an accurate sample well before the official numbers are clear. Exit polls help with analysis as well.

Get a dish brush so that they don’t need to be replaced at all! The ikea ones are really nice and have a built-in plastic scraper. Haven’t used a sponge in the last decade.

Should work well for that!

If you use cloudflare for dns only and turn cloudflare proxying off, none of your data or traffic goes to cloudflare’s servers. They just act as your dns server, telling your devices what IP to go to.

it might be better to skip the cloud server and use cloudflare for dynamic dns. The standardized way to restrict access to websites is with client certificates or a basic authentication (user/pass) proxy. That would help avoid issues with internet traffic passing through the VPN accidentally.

That Y axis label is beautiful.

The entertainment system might run something windows based, but there are dozens of microcontrollers that do run linux.

Really interesting. Is there a source for the pictures and data to share with friends?

Most cars already run on Linux

Nixos’ weakness is definitely it’s documentation. There’s often configuration snippets you can copy and paste, though. If you go with NixOS, make sure to come back with questions, the community is very helpful.

Not even loss, my disappointment is immeasurable.

She could have always asked for a different ring. This ring wasn’t what was wrong with that relationship. it is hilariously awful though.

Aren’t coops basically democratic condos? In Sweden we have “bostadsrätt” which are condos governed by a democratic resident association. They’re good for democratic control over housing, but they still require a mortgage and they’re still subject to market speculation. Some of the apartments can be rentals, but that still means you have a landlord, just that your landlord is your neighbors.

Having the city or the state as your landlord seems like it would be more ideal, or at least a balance of coops and public housing.

You’re mixing two different kinds of inequality here, The top graph is wealth (aka savings), while the bottom one is income. Wealth is the much harder one to crack, and Sweden actually has much higher wealth inequality than all of the other countries being compared.

It’s worth noting that one of the main reasons that Sweden has relatively equal income before tax is because of the way the tax system works. Because social security contributions cap out at ~$70k/year, similar to the US, but there is no similar cut off for social security payroll taxes, employers generally pay their employees in dividends and private pensions instead of income, above that $70k level. Taxes are generally flat in Sweden, though.

is the modern one right? Why are there two bars per quintile? Isn’t the top 10% above 90% of the populations wealth?
