Ah "sublicense" seems to be the keyword to find there otherwise a search comes up empty: https://github.com/scandum/blitsort/search?q=license

Heads up: No license given in the repo, be careful if you are thinking of using this for a project.
EDIT: Retracted -- did a search like for "license", but apparently the search results omits variants like "sublicense" which would have caught the MIT license at the beginning of the source file: https://github.com/scandum/blitsort/search?q=license vs. https://github.com/scandum/blitsort/search?q=sublicense

>More than 15 million votes were logged in answer to Mr. Musk’s question about whether to reinstate Mr. Trump, according to the results that Mr. Musk included in his tweet, with nearly 52 percent in favor of the former president returning to Twitter.
For context, (whether you agree or not) here is the original Twitter blog post where they explain the reasons for banning the account:

Striking headline and summary data, but I don't like that the surveyors seem cagey about releasing the full data. Why should you have to contact they to get it vs. just putting it out there for transparency?
Surely the true number isn't 0 for each, but it may not be that high - or at least people may not be as willing to be upfront or see it that way.
>Methodology >This survey was commissioned by ResumeBuilder.com and conducted online by the survey platform Pollfish on November 2, 2022. In total, 1,000 participants in the U.S. were surveyed. All participants had to pass through demographic filters to ensure they were age 18 or older, currently employed for wages or self-employed, and manage at least 25% of the hiring at their workplace.

The HN demographics distribution is starting to skew older over time, compared to this older poll: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5536734
Reddit stats are had to come by, but I wonder if the users who use it for mostly news and text rather than interesting images/videos/memes (would old.reddit.com users be a good proxy?) has aged the same way.
I think "faster" and "flashier" content wins out in social media, so for example the text interaction people have left for twitter and Substack. Heck, compare pg's amount of public comments here vs all his content on Twitter, sama when he was still with YC, the other YC people, etc. (I mean they probably have alts but still).
I expect that certain ways HN was designed are becoming less attractive as a platform for the population at large, like the 80-character title limit so that it could fit a title in a single terminal line (although I personally love this more than I hate it, keeps things to-the-point).
I wonder what the TikTok version of the HN-type community is like?

>Thierry Breton, EU commissioner for the internal market, said Twitter will have to “fly by our rules” after Elon Musk’s $44 billion purchase of the company.Tech companies will face greater pressure to remove illegal content under the EU’s incoming Digital Services Act.
Companies can be fined up to 6% of global annual revenues for violations of the rules, which are expected to come into force in 2024.
>But regulators on both sides of the Atlantic are worried that Musk could, for example, allow former President Donald Trump back onto the platform. Musk, who has previously said he would reverse the ban on Trump’s account, reportedly intends to scrap lifetime bans on Twitter users, according to Bloomberg.
