@soncharm@lennyeusebi I consider “make a ten” is equivalent to factoring. The quadratic equation is symbolic manipulation that doesn’t give a ton of understanding.
@soncharm@lennyeusebi If you are learning factoring polynomials, jumping to the quadratic equation is skirting what you are trying to learn. When learning math you almost always don’t care about the answer but the technique. The answer of 8+9 is not a novel thing here. Learning how to do addition is
@jacklgoldsmith@whignewtons do you think the fact 6-3 (i know 3-3-3) controls a discretionary docket affects the 50/50 split? If they were part of a minority 3 with 6 liberals would their divisions be so clear?
@data_atx You are inventing a bureaucracy of design that is separate from the teams that have context about what message they want to convey. But for $65/month 500/13,500 emps create the comms they want using private market solutions. This sounds like a great use of funds.
@Aaron_L_Nielson is the test of principal officer someone who can bind the government. I wouldn't expect someone adversarial to the government could necessarily bind the government? (or am i mistaken?)
@TheMonke_King2@bswud is that not the case in most of austin? Could a 7 story apartment building go into hyde park? It seems like this is a uniquely dense, walkable neighborhood. Could be better, but a wonderful addition to Austin.
@TheMonke_King2@bswud it's pretty packed, and apartments just went in by the tower, some are being finished across manor, and some are being finished on 51st, in addition to all of the apartment buildings near the commercial side. How would this be more unadaptable than other neighborhoods?
@dilanesper@danepps This is an interesting hypothesis but it removes the discretion by having the facts come after choosing to represent. I was thinking of where this is known before and how many choose to represent or not
@dilanesper@danepps I’d be interested to see if the clinic continued their representation. I would hope they would. And I wouldn’t ascribe the view to their client. I also wonder if students would protest and complain
@othermaciej@dilanesper in that particular point it doesn't say "do it" the text says "we need to push much harder to get these principals on the record" which seems reasonable
@EdWhelanEPPC@whignewtons The weird thing is that this actually praises the level of commentary the change brings to SCOTUSblog. Just this bit here is fairly characterized as "the change has brought in thoughtful commentary that challenges my ideas".
