I had a very weird experience.

Walked over with my dogs, my wife goes first while i wait outside and it takes 2 hours, had all kinds of extra verification steps and stuff. I go in, same length line, a volunteer looks at my voter card and has me skip the queue for some reason and I'm in and out in 5 minutes and they barely check anything but crossing my name off.

Hilarious Chaos allows conservative content.

Assuming you mean american conservativism then seems like the criticism is justified.

I Wonder if that could be a somewhat mutually acceptable anticheat solution. Launch any competitive game in a custom image that is locked down.

Yeah I hated all the time warp boss fights especially. I gave up on the game on the last trip back to the beginning area. I LOVED the side quests and general gameplay loop but whenever the main quest came up I was bored out of my mind. I think I would have enjoyed the game more if it was just a sandbox.

Lowest since November 2024. Still not good but it's still mostly just wiping out what he gained when Trump took over... hope it keeps going

You can vote in all Canadian Elections without an id.

According to this and this vouching can be a thing for both eu and Riksdag elections.

40 dollars may not seem like a lot to you, but for a homeless person, that's quite a lot and they font have foxed addresses for mailing either. Homeless people deserve to vote.

I live in Canada, I can vote using my free government issued healthcard or I can bring a friend to vouch for me, or i can bring a student id and a bill. While most people probably vote with their drivers license or photo ID this enables people who are homeless, very old, or in my case in 2021, just moved. (Here's what's needed for the curious). You'll notice in that link there are special exemptions for people who live in long term care homes, for whom it is much more common to have no form of id.

People who don't have easy access to id are societies most vulnerable people and I think it is especially important that they have access to voting.

America does not have a free form of id (in most states anyway) and does not allow someone to vouch as a form of identification.

That is a fair criticism that I am too lazy to work out the details of 😊.

Here is my attempt to eli5, a metric is a formalized/generalized way to describe distance. Smart people thought about what makes distance distance and basically made a set of rules. Distance is a function where the distance between a point and itself is 0 (and only 0 in that case), is always positive, is the same distance whether you are coming or going and that going to a place and then another place has at least as much distance as just going to the last place (which is kind of the same as saying the shortest path between 2 points is a straight line).

You can see how these rules apply to point in 3d(or 2d) space and our intuitive understanding of distance between them. For example If a store is 2km going to a bank then the store is at least 2km but maybe more and if its 2km from home to the store its also 2km from the store to home. This might seem obvious, and it is for 3d space, but we can take it and apply it to all kinds of things.

This question is intentionally convoluted, but one way of conceptualizing it is: 🍎🍇🍌 are each functions that takes one value and spits out another. If you would graph this function it makes a line. 🍊 takes 2 lines and tells us how far apart they are, you can think about many ways to compare how far apart 2 line are, but the one given to us is to just take the one where the difference between the heights of the lines is greatest. For an example lets say 🍎 is the price of eggs and 🍇 is the price of organic eggs then 🍊(🍎,🍇) would give us the biggest difference in price there has ever been between them.

Our task in the problem is to prove that that idea of distance given to us follows the same rules as our intuitive definition of distance.

E: I originally misread the values the functions took as 2 dimensional coordinates, but it is really just 1 dimensional data, so I changed the metaphor.

There's some good and some bad imo.

I'm indifferent to slightly tightening gun regulations,

I think more money for cyber crimes is a good idea and more money for equipment to secure the border is necessary as the us unravels. More early retirement isn't something I will complain about and will win a lot of votes amoung those effected. I think the organized car theft is something worthwhile to address.

I like criminalizing unconsenual deepfake porn and becoming stricter on revenge porn.

Increasing funding to Building Safer Communities Fund sounds nice but might just be lip service.

I don't like making bail more difficult, but con leaning voters will love it. I don't like most of the tougher sentencing but it is a more reasonable version of pp's 3 strikes horribleness that undercuts him while in practise not changing things that much.

It should be ||🍎(x) -🍌(x)| +|🍌(x) - 🍇(x)|| >=|🍎(x) -🍌(x) +🍌(x) - 🍇(x)| = |🍎(x) - 🍇(x)| I missed the abs that I added in the previous step.

let me make the variables less annoying:

||x-y|+|y-z|| >= |x-y+y-z| = |x-z| we are getting rid of the abs around |x-y| and |y-z| so the 2 y's can cancel out. We can do this because |x-y| >= x-y because |q| >= q

It's been a while but here we go:

for orange to be a metric 4 conditions must be met:

1. 🍊(🍎,🍎) = 0

2. 🍊(🍎,🍌) > 0 if 🍎 != 🍌.

3. 🍊(🍎,🍌) = 🍊(🍌,🍎)

4. The Triangle Inequality:🍊(🍎,🍇) <= 🍊(🍎,🍌) + 🍊(🍌, 🍇)

since all 4 conditions are satisfied the 🍊 is a metric!

And just because people keep hammering screws doesn't mean hammers aren't useful.

Yeah and no one federates with them for a reason, despite the fact it would about 500x the userbase.

Corporate buy in, just look at bluesky. I don't want lemmy to grow.

I think hank green has a pretty nuanced take on the subject:
