Or putting it another way, today's actual majority represents 44% of the population, and today's actual minority represents 56% of the population.

The actual numbers today (using 2017 census population numbers) are that the 49 Democrats & Independents in the Senate represent 363,971,955 people and the 51 Republicans represent 286,078,457 people.
(This adds to 2x population of US minus DC, since 2 senators per person.)

It is at least related to Firefox changes, although I don't know for sure if it's a Firefox bug or a Slack bug; filed bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bu…
I realize this could be a regression in Firefox nightly related to bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bu… .

I *think* they changed after I last restarted Firefox this morning, but not sure. But now broken across 3 Slack instances in 3 Firefox tabs.
Currently showing 11:55 when my timezone setting is set to the misnamed but clearly correct "(UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US and Canada)"

Did @SlackHQ turn off daylight saving time (and show times an hour earlier than they should be) for anyone else?

We have enough extra tomatoes growing now (in pots on our balcony) that I decided to make Salmorejo cordobés, which I enjoyed when I visited Andalucía in 2013 but haven't had since.
Muchas gracias a @derechupete por la gran receta fácil recetasderechupete.com/salmo…

How about Kwun Tong district of Hong Kong, at 56800?

And it includes a decent amount of greenspace (goo.gl/maps/fu3vVDr3vGQ2), too.
Er, thanks... but it's the result of the work of probably thousands of people across browser engines, standards bodies, and other folks providing input about what needs to improve.

California uses a different definition.
(Moffett Field rainfall since April 17: 0.01 inches.)
The downside is that all the plants are brown...

Sure, but housing for 800K would get consumed as fast as it's built, and there will still be high demand for Bay Area housing (unless tech has moved elsewhere in the meantime). We should want more of the US population to live in dense areas.
Maybe that's good enough for Vancouver, but I think the Bay Area either needs 75-100 square miles of Paris-style density (uniform 8-10 stories), or it needs a ton of big condo towers near transit. Politically it seems easier to get to the latter outcome than the former.

YIMBYs, read this important thread and the fantastic article by @dillonliam and @bposton that explores a serious inequality in California's housing policy. Tax breaks for homeowners are passed down through generations, starving local gov't, schools, fire/police of needed funds.
My colleague @bposton and I spent a while investigating one of the deepest inequalities in California housing and tax policy — so deep that U.S. Supreme Court justices and others say it's like medieval feudalism (1/13) latimes.com/politics/la-pol-…
