We all have vulnerable friends and family, it is a great time to stay in touch, build and rebuild relationships.

I think it is a fight on all fronts situation.

If I am picking a single issue I am picking transparency. Without it you don’t have a democracy.

I push for more ranked voting, there are a few types that all seem fine.

Illinois just had a plurality wins primary, that’s crazy to me.

I found a thing I was looking for, referred from activistchecklist.org

“You’re three people who’ve held #meetings, made decisions, navigated disagreement, migrated platforms, and built a #SetOfAgreements you wrote yourselves. That’s not common.”

From CNN or the summary in the post?

Yes, everything on the on the page or linked to on the page or wrapped in flash tyvm.

It’s real!

It still seems pretty random. So they’ll say they fixed it so it won’t do something, all they likely did was reduce probability, so we still get screenshots showing what it sometimes lets through.

I love the smell of primaries in the morning. Smells like, victory.

Discord is a vocal opponent of the laws requiring this stuff and helps the legal fights trying to stop this from becoming mandatory by law. My impression is they are doing what they think they legally have to in a growing number of countries and states.

" Discord is a member of Netchoice, the trade organization that’s fighting these laws in the US, and they’ve shown up for pretty much every lawsuit since they joined. I can’t say for certain[1] but I HIGHLY doubt they are doing this because they want to. "

Hardly, the use of based this way is cringe.

(Internet slang, originally 4chan slang) Admirable for rejecting political correctness or socially progressive values. Synonym: unwoke based and redpilled My last account got banned for being too based.

That they don’t care wouldn’t be my take, but it may be true for some.

It is true it is hard to get the incentives right, especially if your goal is to make things that don’t get abandoned.

They do a lot of experimentation though, trying to see what works.

I think “what works” and “what users want” are two similar, intersecting but not at all identical sets. Some users like new and broken, others want things that will never work.

I am curious what kind of people do you try to hire, and what do you screen for? I mainly just try to gauge someone’s experience in the field, and ability to to fit a specific role. (I have mostly been involved in Android app dev or related interviews).

I ask things like “how do you solve this common problem”. A goal for me is to try to give basically the same interview over and over again, to make it easier to compare candidates. But over the years it changes of course.

Sometimes Google seems so obsessed with open standards that they not only don’t favor their other projects, their projects often simply won’t support each other.

I blame the many Google buzz plus chat clients. Google also suffers from a lot of success, they can be complacent about things other companies obsess about.

Options!

Your friends need you. They always need you.

They never stop. They are rage, brutal, without mercy. But you. You will be worse.

Rip and tear, until it is done.

The law cannot protect anyone unless it binds everyone; and it cannot bind anyone unless it protects everyone.
