That's on Tuesdays. On Thursdays straws are bad because man stuff. Keep up!

You can boof it like Kavanagh too.

I suspect it's not an optimization to make every post you see interesting. For one thing, we tend to find intermittent rewards more fascinating and addictive than reliable ones. For another, if you have to scroll further you'll see more ads. But if you make it too boring people won't scroll at all. So the algorithm probably tries to make it just interesting enough to keep people scrolling, but no more.

Whether it's possible for a party to win a majority of votes but lose an election, in a first-past-the-post system, will depend on the how the electoral districts are drawn, the voter turnout in each district, and the geographical distribution of the majority. The system itself does allow this to happen.

After being released last year, McFarland began planning a second incarnation of Fyre festival, which he said he devised during a stint in solitary confinement. He told his followers on social media: “This is everything I’ve been working towards. Let’s fucking go.”

A feature that has been shown to actively put people off your product. But in the end these companies would rather have investors than users, and it's the investors they're marketing to.

I'm in the same position. I prefer free software but there is none that does what Affinity does. If it goes subscription-only and they shut down the bought versions, it will have to be piracy time.

Are they? When they bought it they explicitly promised that they would not change the licensing. And no one believed them. Affinity was the only true competitor to Adobe products with equivalent functionality for a reasonable one-off payment instead of an extortionate subscription. I was so happy to find it - software that actually feels good to buy and use, Of course they're going to ruin it.

I doubt the Kompromat is even an active concern for Trump. He just likes dictators and wants to be one.

Maybe they could start with X/Twitter and Facebook.

If that happens, no point making anything, since your stuff will get stolen anyway

From a capitalist's point of view, yes, but we need a society that enables people to act from other incentives than making money. And there are plenty of other reasons to make things.
