imprinting their biases and blocking stories that they don’t want out

That’s it. That’s all they need to do to influence a country or population at the scale that billionaires operate at. They all have very similar opinions and preferences (otherwise they wouldn’t be billionaires).

That so e people think that a publicly funded editorially independent press is somehow worse that this is maddening.

It’s also not a zero sum game. We can have both, yet somehow some people think it’s one or the other.

The latter. Six billionaires’ opinions are not diverse enough.

That was the single best line in the film.

He was so close to pronouncing pounamou (lit. treasure) correctly. Good effort though.

I have X years experience with {keyword salad}.

Can you confirm {details already in the opening post}?

FUD

I still double-check my CIDR’s/netmasks and expected ranges with a tool (some online one or other). Easier to avoid silly mistakes or typo’s

TL;DR: it depends entirely on the DHCP server software.

Generally the safe/reliable policy is to assign a smaller DHCP range (or ranges) and allocate static assignments outside of the DHCP range(s).

Assume your network is 192.168.1.0/24.

Specify 192.168.1.128/25 for DHCP, which means all DHCP addresses will be above 192.168.1.128.

This leaves you everything below 192.168.1.127 for static assignments.

Yeah, I agree that it’s unfair that it underrepresents childless people, and over represents large families.

What annoys me is that a very large portion of the population is disenfranchised (but still taxed in my country). Children have the most to lose, they’re voting with an 80-year view, the oldies are voting with a 5 year view.

As opposed to billionaires just buying politicians?

Parents somehow “taking advantage” isn’t the problem.

It’s not like someone can just pop out 100 children to skew votes.

Parents should be allowed a vote on behalf of their children until their children reach whatever age the jurisdiction allows independent voting.

“They had a knife!”

But then they can’t force you to watch claim that you watched the ad at the start of the video for that sweet advertiser revenue.

It’s just this, just simple geology.

The water level is actually irrelevant.

This is why it’s important to have tests that assert a system’s failure modes too.

shouldFitTriangleInTriangleHole()

shouldNotFitTriangleInAnyOtherHoles()

Bonus points for just parameterizing it.

Plausible to within 1/5 of a plausibility unit.

Yep.

Thanks for writing that out. I’d never quite groked why it (and similar wording) sounded wrong: reducing a person to an adjective.

“This jacket looks ridiculous”.

Guy walking in with hat: “Uhh…”

Why do all their jackets look three sizes too big?

Obviously they need room for all the medals, but they could at least tailor them.
