Looks like they'll have to stall the courts until the next election to use those gerrymandered maps. Until the punishment is more than "you have to redraw the map again", the cheaters will continue to do this.

If a group of people can't do a simple thing like draw districts to be compliant with already very loose requirements, they should be relieved from that duty or someone else given a turn.

Plus the obvious hiding behind a VPN, which you would be out of your mind not to use if you were doing something this terrible. Or can VPNs snitch in these situations? Anyone know?

The joke is a bit on the line but I think we can all laugh at the misuse of phrase. Let's just nip it in the butt shall we?

Boomers got more conservative as they grew older because they've been eating shovels of propaganda since reagan and never learned how to fact check like younger generations

Thats the same reason I gave a really crappy company for leaving too. Not saying it's the exact same situation, but just wanted to point out that people sometimes lie to protect their place in their profession.

USA mobile carriers have been charging for tethering since devices implemented the tethering feature. Android enforced it through carrier firmware. I don't remember how apple enforced it.

I remember having to jailbreak all my iPhones so I could get it for free. As iOS started feeling more limited, I bought a galaxy phone from Europe because the international phones didn't have the carrier firmware.

Then T-Mobile was the first big carrier to offer free tethering - I switched to them from AT&T. And now more carriers are offering free tethering because it's losing them customers probably.

Anything they can do to distract the population from all the government corruption. They learned it from Trump. And the panama papers. Overwhelm people with problems and they lose the ability to focus on any one of them.

English people say October 5th. Spanish people say 5 de Octubre. Same for other languages. That's probably why Europeans prefer the other format.

You could convince a group of people to use YYYYDDMM, but what I mean is nobody currently uses it. So at this moment of time YYYYMMDD is intuitive, and has a miniscule chance of being mixed up like DDMMYYYY and MMDDYYYY (because a large number of people use these formats).

Please don't convince Americans to use YYYYDDMM lol. :-)

DDMMYYYY would be great, if it weren't for 95% of Americans that use MMDDYYYY. Is 07/02/2000 July 2nd or Feb 7th?

Thus the only solution is to write out the month or start with the year, because no logical group of people currently use YYYYDDMM. Plus by using YYYYMMDD you get the added benefit of the dates all being sortable using dumber applications.

I'd never heard the word torched used that way before. I thought someone literally set her on fire.

Net neutrality and reddit's API changes are pretty different situations.

Losing net neutrality could have raised prices on the entire internet, but the important thing is ISPs have too much of a monopoly on internet infrastructure. Many consumers across America only have one or two options for their ISP.

Reddit and twitter's decisions to privatize their APIs isn't a new phenomenon. Other companies already do this for a variety of reasons. Reddit's worry about AI driving up their cost is valid, but instead of tackling the problem as a bot problem, they took an easier way out and damaged the user experience.

Where the situations are different is: it's accessible, cheap, and profitable to rebuild a site like Reddit and create competition. It's not any of those things to compete against an ISP.

The wording on your post makes it sound like supporting net neutrality is supporting the API changes, but that's not true. I can help give some clarification if you want.
