Does that explain that if you leave the accelerometer on while you walk around a city, the app could tell what route you took by matching it to maps?

Today's update: Map of US states whose TOTAL POPULATION is larger than the number of mail-in ballots ALREADY RETURNED (7,912,871) in California.

(California has no headline elections this year except the president. There's no Governor's race in presidential years, and this time there's no Senate race. So it's just President, House, and a ton of propositions and local elections. Of those, President is still the draw.)

It turns out that having a chance that your vote will matter does increase turnout.

There have been multiple partly-competing proposals for browser features in this space; was a long discussion in Mozilla standards-positions. Maybe start with this almost-summary in the middle: github.com/mozilla/standards…

DC is special, though. Also not a state. Though that does remind me of harvardlawreview.org/2020/01… ...

Yeah, it is big enough, but a circuit with just one state seems weird. Maybe stick to my original California + Hawaii?

Or, even better, California + Hawaii + Nevada in the 9th Circuit, give Arizona to the 10th Circuit, take Wyoming for the new Seattle-based circuit, and get all of Yellowstone National Park at least in one appellate circuit (although still multiple districts, drat!).
Maybe split the 9th Circuit at the same time as abolishing the Federal Circuit to maintain the principle? Maybe California+Hawaii (San Francisco) vs. all the rest (Seattle)? Or should Arizona and maybe Nevada stick with California?

So expand SCOTUS to 13 (counting the 11 numbered circuits, the DC Circuit, and the Federal Circuit)... and then abolish the Federal Circuit?
Pelosi being pretty explicit about judicial reform is on the table on Hayes right now, observing the original understanding that the number of Supreme Court justices should track the number or circuits

1. Hope it's less then a megaton of TNT (4200TJ) energy equivalent? 2. make sure something sturdy (not glass!) is between you and the relevant parts of sky? (mitigate shockwave risk and I think I saw something about burn risk) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o… youtube.com/watch?v=tq02C_3F…

In case you lost track... (But, oh, the math jokes we missed by not having Delta and Epsilon at the same time...)

Well, I'm not going to be wearing my "I voted" sticker on the Wednesday morning commute on the 信義線 (Xinyi Line) this time around. It was a good timezone for following election results, just not good results...

"High-rise living is much more environmentally friendly than suburban single-family housing — downtown residents use half as much water, require far less heating, and take far fewer car trips than denizens of single-family housing. It produces much less traffic ..."
You’re undoubtedly seeing plenty of campaign-related mail & social media claiming that some councilmembers gave $67 million of taxpayer dollars to developers—and you should know why that’s a lie. Here’s the full scoop: link.medium.com/R0cmOw3BIab. #FactsMatter
