I joined Twitter fifteen years ago. I had no idea that I would use it for more than throwaway tweets about my breakfast.
Sadly, Elmo thought that $44B might buy him power, and X was born.
I've moved to BlueSky.
@WithinRafael 1. I've been hearing that for ~ decades now.
2. This isn't actually JScript, it's https://t.co/4TkiAGx3ia and isn't based on the OS's script engines at all.
@WithinRafael@RvLeshrac@chucker I expect to have a signed build this weekend.
Note that this will not have proxy/capture, only view of traffic imported from HAR and NetLog.
@RvLeshrac@chucker@WithinRafael Since folks have seemed to have missed it, I've pointed out that Progress has picked an *especially* stupid time to do this. https://t.co/eBT6nHilUK
More ads from Greg Abbott calling for inspections of childrenโs genitals.
The GOPโs obsession with this topic is fucking creepy. Theyโve spent hundreds of millions of dollars on it
...the GOP actively *seeks* that very un-optimal outcome because they know that the more people vote, the worse the GOP performs.
So by seeking a globally non-optimal outcome ("0 Fraud"), the GOP can achieve their own goals ("Reduced turnout means GOP wins!").
https://t.co/xHqhK96tgI talks about this in the context of fraud generally.
The point is that the "optimal rate of fraud" is >0 even if the ideal rate is 0. Getting to the ideal entails tradeoffs that make the system worse, overall.
Importantly though, in the case of voting...
This is the proper amount.
There's something called "decreasing marginal returns". The ideal rate isn't zero, because to achieve that you, need some sort of police state that will disenfranchise a lot of voters.
The ideal rate is there a couple of foreigners voting in each election in each state that somehow get through the cracks in the system -- not enough to change the outcome of an election.
