The traditional pattern seen here of serving pages under a hierarchy called `~cks` indicate this is the personal site of someone who is affiliated with the university. Unless otherwise noted you should probably assume all the content is from "cks", not an army of dozens of coders.

It doesn't talk about a senate at all:

> It is divided up into 10 districts, each of which sends one representative to the national legislature, which consists of 10 people.

They take this as a given and try to come up with convoluted ways to 'fix' the problem, when just fixing this axiom would solve it much easier.

Why do they need to only have single-member districts? How about having fewer districts with more members per district? It seems like Fix Gerrymandering is a solution aimed at the wrong problem when the entire problem could just be eliminated.

> PGP is still fucking awesome and should always be used for any sensitive communication (best case scenario: all for every contact you can get to use it) - in addition to secure providers and all the other stuff we should be doing.

Sorry, I actually live in the real world, not whatever fantasy land the author comes from.

Printing presses are also giant, asynchronous CPUs. Depending on what you put in, they can cause society to take certain actions.

Perhaps in recent years their effectiveness has been dwindling, though.

If someone knows your account number, they can take money from it, there is no separate secret or anything. It would be illegal, but they can do it.

Stands for 3 monitors should be broken down by whether or not the middle one is fully adjustable.

Do you know why there are no wall mounted 3 monitor stands?

I can forgive the somewhat limited user interface for setting these up that is in the stock add-on, but the lack of automatic syncing of rules to all computers with the same Firefox account is really frustrating to deal with.

Putting in the effort to get them all set up nicely and then having them either blown away (I think this happened once...) or needing to get that over to another computer has made me limit my use to fewer containers than I probably would otherwise use.

In many places, the frost line is more like 3 to 6 feet, than 6 inches.

I have had this happen to me twice as a pedestrian, in 2011 and 2012. I didn't care about what it does to the environment, it felt like a personal attack upon me.

> I can't use my Twitter!TeMPOraL_PL account to talk to you, because there's no transport between Twitter and HN. And even if it was, now two brands would be involved in communication.

You could almost do it if things like the Keybase identity graph were widely used. It seems like that concept would lift the identity out of the brands. As long as you linked back to an identity chain from your identity on each brand.
