It looks like they’re just going to lobby trading partners to please direct (actual) retaliatory sanctions towards products from red states, not their state. In general, I like that idea. But maybe now any excemptions for blue state products should come with a promise to actually fight the incipient fascist government…
Github was bought in 2018. For all we know, OP could have been 10 at the time
There’s two positives for her resigning:
So now that is in the hands of the folks who use the OSM data. It’s in a somewhat exotic tag, so by default any map that uses OSM will still show Gulf of Mexico, unless they actively intervene to show Gulf of America. So if you see an OSM based map showing the latter, you know they made that choice consciously.
OpenStreetMap also needs to deal with this kind of thing. In this case, several people already tried to add it to the map in some form of other, but generally not as something to actually be shown. There is a looong discussion about it here https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/gulf-of-america-gulf-of-mexico/124571 . General opinion is that it is (or will be) “the official name that the US says it has”. In OSM you can invent tags for anything, so an object can have many names. Done like this, anyone using the data can still choose to give precedence to any “official US names that are not in common use yet”. Later it may be upgraded ased on if it becomes a common alternative name, just in the US, or maybe beyond. All those options can have their own special tag. And only very motivated data users will ever show it to map users. But if you do a search for Gulf of America, you will be able to find it.
I knew it sounded familiar. It even has a name and a wikipedia article https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck’s_principle
There’s another free OSM based app that does have some traffic data, it’s called Magic Earth. Not open source though, as their business model is to sell adapted versions.
What does the size of the country have to do with it? Which good big and bad small countries are you talking about?
I think EveryDoor requires some relatively deep understanding of OSM before actually being a useful tool. So edits like this should be rare with that tool. Many of the edits like this are from when MapsMe was very popular and suddenly introduced editing, without enough nuance in the process. Bad edits do happen everywhere, you need a good balance between people who data curation and newbies making beginner mistakes. In some places, there’s a lack of experienced people maintaining the data.
Isn’t it as much about showing up to vote than about changing minds who to vote for?
Do as the other poster said. The Benelux is also a place where you could probably work with just English. Bonus points if you manage to get a job where you’re allowed to work from, say Portugal (for the weather and the low living costs) Good luck on the job hunt!
Have you looked into the European job market? From what little I know, I have the impression here that kind of profile can pick among any number of jobs.
Someone should invent a game, that while playing demonstrates how much monopolies suck for everyone involved (except the monopolist)
If you use median, removing or not of 1000 people from a pool of millions indeed has zero impact. My guess is that they worded it like that because they assume people don’t knownwhat a median is, so they describe the practical effect
They are not excluded, it’s just the the number of people is used, not the amount of money
For Harris, yes. For Biden: just “not anymore”. Which can happen when you have geriatric folks doing this kind of job.
I’m pretty sure they’ll do increasingly farcical votes for some time after.
And here I am with 35 days, which we’re expected to take.
“Made unusable”: that’s not how it works. Even with occasional vandalism, there’s so much more people positively contributing, that overall the map just keeps on getting better and better.
Best of luck to you all
