Solving the problem "low turnout" requires getting people to vote. When people who don't vote are turned out, they tend to vote D. Strengthening the democratic process and increasing turnout for Democrats are currently the sa

It does if they enforce their non-discrimination policies. The oppressed need jobs too. Also, news media's love of simplification has really twisted people's view of states other than their own. Georgia is about as "blue"

This is what happened with Android. Google bought it, released it, and made a big deal out of how it was open. Then they slowly moved functionality over to their proprietary systems under the guise of ensuring people could get some security

What lawsuit happened in the '90s? All I see on the Wikipedia page started in 2003. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCO%E2%80%93Linux_disputes#Tim... Are you sure it was a lawsuit and not the state of the still very

Who is supposed to issue this apology? The person writing the press release for such an apology didn't do anything, so there's nothing for them to apologize for. The people responsible for Microsoft's anti-OSS stance are mi

I think this is why they had to bring in an enemy from across the galaxy for DS9. All the other militaristic Alpha Quadrant civilizations had seen humans in war and did not want to get on their bad side again. The Dominion hadn't yet

I think it's more common in creative fields. Companies even solicit free design work (for example) under the guise of contests.

Sometimes I find interesting things in it. For example, you can open a terminal set to the current directory by putting cmd in the path bar. This also works with other commands and arguments, so you can do stuff like notepad [filename].

Sites with articles are the worst here. A lot of them break reading view/save for later tools. I end up with the next article instead of the one I'm on.

One of the local coffee shops solves this problem by also being a music school: http://hometownrhythms.com/ They also have regular musical acts. The Athens/metro Atlanta area has a lot of cover bands.

I still see people call policing maps "crime maps" as though you could map out all the crime like in SimCity.

I call those people annoying. I was born and raised and have lived my entire life in the US. I'm quiet, still, and prefer the same in the people around me. You can't assess over 300 million people by the few who can afford to trav

Gopher and HTTP had a similar situation. Gopher had a lot going for it, but the future licensing situation was unclear. HTTP was free, clear, and widespread by the time Gopher became GPL.

I (and probably the person you replied to) take all these words for granted. It didn't occur to me someone hadn't heard of them. Check out the thesaurus entry for cantankerous for some more useful, related, and probably less commo

Conceits creep in if you only read one perspective. Think about all the people who think Western culture is the source of all civilization because they only read things that affirm that view. Any given culture's canon is big in volume,

I used to use one of their weather maps. North Georgia gets a lot of random, unpredictable storms from the gulf. I used one of their maps to see if one of the thousand tiny half mile wide storms would pass over me. If it did, I could be in

I get the impression most stock news is generated, not written. Maybe they use the same software I heard was taking over in sports commentary.

People said the same thing back when the web was the thing and everyone depended on Google search traffic. They didn't listen. They're not going to listen this time. Whatever the solution is, it won't be telling people not to

Correct. It's a useful term because we have some shared experiences even if we go off in different directions gender-wise.

A wave of AMAB people in my circles came out with their own experiences after Terry Crews shared his. I think it's a lot more common, possibly to the point of parity. It's a catch-22: it's assumed half the population can'
