The real Easttown Township (which is admittedly Chester County and not Delaware County, although on the border) is not at all post-industrial. It's rich exclusionary suburbs.

I have an extension that (as of 2017) ran in Firefox, Chrome, and Edge... but I never actually figured out how to *ship* it to users across those browsers...

nytimes.com/2021/05/31/world… blames proportional representation in general, but the specific rules seem likely to matter. Israel's threshold to get seats is 3.25%. In Germany it's 5% (or 3 seats), in New Zealand 5% (or 1 seat), in Sweden 4%. Denmark is 2% but also has many parties.

Somehow this discussion reminds me of hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-centr… and the fact that a harmless read past the end of array can crash if the end of the array happens to line up with a page boundary (in this case, all crash addresses ended in 00000).

All the photos I have from that meeting are the view... but I am still looking forward to seeing the people again.

Philadelphia spent ~$500K preparing its bid for Amazon HQ2. It made the group of half-dozen finalists. But @bradstone reports things started to go south after Bezos' top deputy (the next CEO) declared that, as a NY Giants fan, he couldn't stand the city. inquirer.com/news/amazon-hq2…
