      His name is Jimmy McMillan and he’s the leader of the Rent is Too Damn High party. Interestingly enough, Mr. McMillan has not paid rent for 45 years. That said, he’s maintained that it is how high his disabled children’s rent is as why he’s chosen to make himself a political platform. For a vet with disabled children he’s pretty active.

      I had an idea for a story about Steampunk Radical Reconstruction in 1880s and some of the characters I imagined looked like him, but with a top hat.

        What policy is it?

        I’m saddened by the amount of partisanism in the US these days. It’s not because an idea is republican that it’s bad, it’s because these days, 99% of them are terrible and that most of them don’t give a single flying fuck about science…

          Here’s the tweet. It was not a policy per se but the appointment of Gail Slater.

            The whole thing was blown out of proportion IMO, but I think a large part of the blame is on Andy for going with the fake apology route. A simple “I’m not endorsing Trump.” would had gone a long way to calming the social media monster. But hey if he wants to be vague and divisive and alienate the company’s users, that’s a decision he’s entitled to, I guess.

            I mean, he agreed with trump on big tech being bad… As a FOSS defender, I don’t particularly mind.

            If he had been agreeing with Trump on immigration, the economy, the law or hairstyle, it would be an actual issue but I don’t mind this. I would have hoped for it to have been another president to take them on, naturally, but still.

            A broken clock is right twice a day. It’s time we remind republicans we are the side of reason, logic and science by only attacking them on legitimate issues, of which there no shortage whatsoever…

            It’s literally a nothing situation that social media, in its drive to find outrage in every single thing, has blown completely out of proportion.

        Honest answer? It makes it easy to release an application cross platform.

        Personal / hot-take answer? Because we are human and our drive for mediocrity is astounding…especially when it can save a few bucks. Why make something good when you can make something less good faster and cheaper? That should be Electron’s slogan.

      They’re each made of three little “things” connected to each other that each have three potential properties that go in two different “directions” giving them very complicated behavior with each other, and if you try to pry the little things apart to see what they’re made of, more little things pop into existence so you can never isolate them. And yes, every subatomic particle has wave and particle-like properties but it’s not correct to say they’re either one or the other, or that they’re both. They’re not even locally real and don’t really exist in one place.
