Senators are a state wide office and so aren’t impacted by gerrymandering. Them electing republican senators and democratic governors requires some split ticket voting.

If you’re counting black triangles, the first is 3.

Soundwise or visually? I can see the difference (big vs little) but I don’t think I could reliably pick out the sound between the two.

1×3+2 = 5

Sure you could claim it’s 5x, but why do that when the other rule you have already works?

If the first is only 1 triangle, I can’t see how the second would be anything but 3 triangles.

When they’re really little, high contrast is more clear and theoretically more interesting. There’s a lot of black and white toys aimed at newborns for that reason.

It saving billions isn’t argument against it being good for employees/most people. If say the government introduced a bill that required every company to send 5% of their money to Russia, fighting the hell out of that bill would save them billions and would be in line with what most Americans want. There are more realistic ones like pretty much every iteration of the kids online safety act.

It might be a good rule of thumb, but it definitely isn’t the only argument/proof needed.

In the US, it certainly isn’t. It’s viewed as a red flag for a US company to ask for a photo unless the job is something where appearance is an important quality like actor or model. I think the US grapples with this kind of discrimination more than many of the countries where it’s the norm.

Which is really just a system you can use to discriminate with plausible deniability: We didn’t not hire people because of X protected characteristic; the “scientific” computer program never selected them as a quality worker.

That’s why self-made is in quotes. But many female billionaires are primarily heiresses little known or primarily known as a male billionaire’s daughter/wife/ex-wife. Swift turning millions into billions is about as self-made as any other billionaire.

She’s a “self-made” female billionaire. Her money isn’t from something like Walmart or Amazon, where it’s obvious how she’s exploiting people. It’s clear she’s very talented. And she seems smart and like she won’t get pushed around by scummy music execs (Taylor’s version).

Her music speaks to people and makes them feel like they’re understood and like they understand her. When she got a lot of hate (because most things teenage girls enjoy get a lot of hate), plenty of people felt personally attacked, and that made them more defensive and appreciative of her. She poked fun at the stereotypes making her more endearing.

Their point is that the more people who have covid the worse it is for everyone, even those who are vaccinated.

I had fios in Cumberland. I don’t know if there are other choices though.

They make little pills you take before you eat all that lactose that help you digest it without being miserable. So you can do something of you know you’re lactose intolerant short of giving it up.

It’s a consonant. Specifically it’s the voiced palatal approximant represented as ⟨j⟩ in IPA.

The Windows is not free. The OEMs pay a license fee and that cost is passed on to people buying those computers.

Are your pets vaccinated and fixed? Would they have ever chosen that themselves? Do you get their dental work done (something most vets only do under anesthesia because cats hate it so much!)? If you’re responsibly taking care of your pets, you are making choices for them they do not like.

Yeah.

Because then the hash is the password. Someone could just send the hash instead of trying to find a password that gets the correct hash. You can’t trust the client that much.

You can hash the password on both sides to make it work; though I’m not sure why you’d want to. I’m not sure what attack never having the plain text password on the server would prevent. Maybe some protection for MITM with password reuse?

That’s not what regulatory capture means. Regulatory capture is when the industry being regulated basically owns the agency writing and enforcing the regulation. Nothing they don’t want regulated gets regulated and they can use regulation to prevent new competitors. How the FAA in the US defers to airlines and airplane manufacturers is often used as an example.
