A collision handling model could involve defaults (like floats), or it could involve a way to specify the collision handling behavior in some way.
But overlap by default is not a good behavior.

Floats have this, but absolute positioning doesn't.
And I think it's particularly bad in paginated contexts, which is where most of the demos of exclusions focused.

For what it's worth, my basic argument against the current exclusions proposal is that they promote the opposite of responsive design: design that's fragile and breaks in response to slight changes in viewport size, fonts, or other variables.

If you count Houdini Task Force face-to-face meetings too then the face-to-face number is higher. It was also higher back when we had 4 face-to-face meetings a year (11 days rather than 8).
teleconference-only versus teleconference and face-to-face is a big difference. In a typical year @csswg probably has about 40 hours of teleconference and 56 hours of face-to-face.
(I'm assuming 45 telecons/year at just under an hour each, and 8 days × 7 hours/day f2f.)

If I had one constitutional amendment, I'd rather replace the House, Senate, and President with a parliamentary system elected in a mixed-member proportional system, probably unicameral (but maybe with a mostly-irrelevant upper house).

Maybe take it to the 9th Circuit by suing the state... and convince the state Attorney General not to appeal to the Supreme Court?

At least your fellow passengers haven't gotten to the point of wondering whether their luck would improve by not having somebody called @slightlylate on the plane.

I've seen white tops on the peaks between Palo Alto and the ocean once (Mozilla folks were in town for it too... it was the time we had a room at Stanford) and on the east bay hills visible from Palo Alto/Mountain View multiple times. Usually melts same day, though.

At the tops it can be cold in winter... could enough for snow to accumulate. Still not too bad compared to other parts of the world.

... and maybe require that the relevant category of drivers license include extra training for pedestrian awareness, etc.? And also cost more to discourage its use...
Thinking more about SUVs being more dangerous to pedestrians: could California fix this problem by requiring, say, that vehicles manufactured after January 1 2021, with a high front that's dangerous to pedestrians, require a commercial drivers license?
Federal safety regulators like @NHTSAgov and @NTSB have known for years that SUVs were killing pedestrians at an alarming rate.
Instead of using their authority to help vulnerable people, these groups scolded and blamed them.

I've had better luck with hibernate than suspend.
That is, somewhere deep within power settings, I made the power button be hibernate.
Now, before I close my Surface Book, I press the power button and wait for it to hibernate. Now it doesn't get hot when it shouldn't.

It would be interesting to see the poll results broken down by how competitive the congressional district they live in is. (And maybe also Senate seat, for states with one.)
Seems like fewer than 3 in 10 live in a district where their vote matters.
As a resident of a D+23 district my vote (and I do vote) doesn't matter much.
I sure hope the ones in districts that could possibly swing are going to vote, though.
And maybe we should fix the system.

Does anybody know any open-source emoji fonts that support US state flag emoji?
(For context, see blog.emojipedia.org/us-state… .)
