@davidbaron The tests for non-obviousness and differentiation from prior art should also be about making *real* progress.

@FremyCompany @bz_moz That sounds like a bug in the font, no?

@tabatkins Each American in the 50 states is represented twice in the US senate. (I used 2010 census populations.)

46 D/I senators represent 330,048,222 Americans; 54 R senators represent 286,264,454. Is that democracy?

@getify Though I suppose Westminster-style is somewhat contradictory with the things that don't yield majority governments...

@getify I'd go for a constitutional Westminster-style system with the legislature either mixed-member proportional or (CPO/Schultze)-STV

@ObsoleteDogma Maybe they'll learn & use ranked choice voting with the Condorcet method in 2020. Next wish: CPO-STV for Congress. Ha!

@hanlonbt I meant that "Clinton Prevails in Nevada" would have been a safe bet a year ago, but not as the top headline.

@hanlonbt The right headline would've been a safe bet, though in a smaller font. (But shouldn't it be on the left?!)

@lyssaslounge but it's missing "organic" and "local"...

@tabatkins "contains" doesn't feel like the right choice of verb for an energy density, though.

@LegNeato @sayrer @bhearsum @mmmandel ... which is why I'm *very* worried about the >6 week cycles

@sayrer @bhearsum @mmmandel @LegNeato We absolutely need to do that more. Problem was we had no process to remind us to.

@sayrer @andreasgal @mmmandel @khuey_ @LegNeato ... but I also wouldn't equate "time-based" with "optimal" or "right"
Replying to @sayrer
@sayrer @andreasgal @mmmandel @khuey_ @LegNeato asking "this is ready to ship, right?" every 6 weeks is still time-based
