Yes. But also, in reasonable systems, the political views common in US political discourse would be distributed among more than two parties.

Remember, the Republican party controls the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. Despite that, it seems they might not be able to agree to keep the government running.
BREAKING: House conservatives say there are enough Republican opponents to reject GOP leaders' plan to prevent government shutdown.

I think the point of permission delegation is that the answer is no by default (at least for cross-origin frames), but that the page can explicitly delegate the permission to them if it wants to.
The commission is now discussing the actual agenda from cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/f… , point B (Bonus Lot Coverage and Floor Area). Staff thinks current law says (1). Commisioner Gardias is arguing for (3), Lauing seems to think it says (1) or (2). Monk supports changing to (2).

Biggest complaint is that extra Floor Area Ratio applies to adding an ADU too existing construction, but the extra FAR doesn't apply to an ADU built as part of new construction. Currently they can work around this by having construction last longer.

At the Palo Alto Planning and Transportation Commission meeting, where they're having a study session on Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Public comment so far has been mostly from architects, developers, and homeowners who are building ADUs and hitting quirks in the rules.

After reading that, I thought VPCs (Virtual Private Clouds) were a thing I'm not using, rather than a thing everybody who set up AWS accounts since December 2013 has. But curiosity about IPv6 progress since then & stumbling across docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVP… finally made me realize.
dbaron.org/ is now available over IPv6 in addition to IPv4. I'd have done this nearly a year ago if I had understood that aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws… applied to the way I was hosting it in EC2.

My machine recovered fine because I know my way around the necessary commandline tools, but it's not an experience I'd wish on the average user.
I'm annoyed that @ubuntu upgrader warns when running under ssh, but not when running in gnome-terminal. My two 17.04 to 17.10 upgrades running under ssh were fine. The one that was running in gnome-terminal didn't. Terminal blanked mid-upgrade & got stuck on 3-way merge.

I don't think the TAG is that precise about term start/end dates; I think newly elected members are welcome to participate immediately.

If elected (among other issues!), Joe Arpaio would immediately become the oldest member of the US Senate, since he's *older* than the oldest current US Senator (@SenFeinstein). Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curren… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Ar…

Sounds like #254 will be back on the southbound tracks at Belmont based on nitter.vloup.ch/Scissorslah/stat…
Train #254 stopped at the northbound tracks at Hillsdale.

Caltrain is currently single-tracking south of San Mateo (southbound trains running on the northbound tracks).

Not convinced it's directly an argument against, but it certainly correlates with things that argue against fixing it. I blogged about a related topic... nearly a decade ago: dbaron.org/log/20080515-age-…
I've been reelected to the @w3ctag. It's been great to work with @triblondon over the past two years, and I'm looking forward to working with @lukOlejnik over the next two.

We've talked in the past about rewriting editor in JS, which may still make more sense than Rust.

FWIW that would disqualify a bunch of these VTA buses that run 4 buses in the 6am or 7am hour but not in the 8am hour.

Santa Clara VTA should be better. All VTA light rail lines (900, 901, 902) should count, and VTA buses that should count should be roughly: 10, 22/522, 23, 25, 60 (maybe), 64 (maybe), 66, 68 (!), 70, 71, 72, 73, 77, 181, 201, and almost the 323.
