According to Matt Parker it’s a decently solid chance. https://youtu.be/0zn1pGRgEoo

jetbrains is opensource. https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community

if you want the enterprise features then yes, you get a closed source version, but otherwise you can just run intellij from years ago if you really wanted.

Ranked choice is by far the worst option out of every alternative system. It literally is only better than a single other system… first past the post.

We should be going for, at minimum, Approval Voting. If we really want a proper system then 3-2-1 and STAR are both vastly superior and combat every known measure that bad actors can take to influence an election.

Everything you are saying in this thread is the exact opposite of what child care experts say. It’s like you went and thought “hmm all these scientists are wrong, so I’ll say the exact opposite”.

That obviously wasn't the part I was responding to.

Then what were you responding to. The comment you responded to literally only said one thing, about talking to a child. So yeah, that is what you were responding to.

There's more than one point floating around this discussion. No need to take the bad faith approach and assume I'm responding to the blame issue. No need to be rude.

No there wasn’t. You were the one that brought up everything else. The only thing being discussed was talking shit to a child.

But I'm talking specifically about why schools have policies like this.

Policies like what!?!? Blaming children?

Often you need to design policies so that blame isn't assigned.

I think you must be a robot.

When you have 30 kids in your class and 50 minutes to teach a 90 minute les

It’s elementary school. That’s not how lessons work.

The rest of your comment completely depends on this one made up thing so no need to bother with more.

Can you please stop posting gadget review articles? Literally every single one of them is AI slop. I can tell it’s AI slop just by the quote in the description that’s how bad these articles are.

AI slop article.

I can never remember Liberia’s capital. One of the hardest African capitals for me.

If it’s the government doing it, it’s one thing, but this completely avoids any discussion of private companies collecting every single piece of data they possibly can on you to sell.

Data collection falls under a different category of privacy issues, than government surveillance, as he was pointing out in his article, so conflating them is unhelpful.

It doesn’t though, since the government can now just purchase that data. It’s no longer considered a search since a private company did it of their own accord, at least in the U.S.

So the government is just bypassing all these protections and just buying the data outright.

And the lawyers that somehow lost the argument on whether spam mail harms people is astounding. “I could have gotten a letter telling me I had an inheritance, but I get so much spam mail it could have gotten lost. It’s impossible to know the extent of the harms I’ve endured due to the amount my data has been sold.”

Not sure what you're on about here, wasn't mentioned there at all.

A similar problem surfaces in another case, Smith v. Chase Manhattan
Bank.
99 A group of plaintiffs sued Chase Manhattan Bank for selling
customer information to third parties in violation of its privacy policy,
which stated that the information would remain confidential. The court
held that even presuming these allegations were true, the plaintiffs could
not prove any actual injury:
[T]he “harm” at the heart of this purported class action, is that class members
were merely offered products and services which they were free to decline.
This does not qualify as actual harm.
The complaint does not allege any single instance where a named plaintiff or
any class member suffered any actual harm due to the receipt of an unwanted
telephone solicitation or a piece of junk mail.100

From the paper.

Let me say this how it sounds to me:

I couldn’t build weapons of mass destruction my whole life, I tried to build nukes several times but couldn’t. Now I have a robot that just does the nuking for me, while I can build other things. My other friends don’t seem to have a problem with the nuking, because they get to shoot their guns faster.

I’m sorry, but just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. I could do a lot of immoral, unethical, horrible to humanity and nature things and yet I don’t.
