I immediately had to set it up and secure it on my local network, which meant I had to _learn_ how to secure it...
Georgia's primary was a mess - but they narrowly avoided a runoff! If they hadn't, voters would've needed to go back to the poll a second time. Would voters go through that hassle?
If they had #RankedChoiceVoting, also called #InstantRunoffVoting, this would not be a concern. It's equivalent to a normal runoff election, but without the second/third/fourth time at the ballot box.
This is NOT a data point. It is a huge statistical signal.Wear masks. And require that others do so. zeynep tufekci: The incubation period for the COVID positive hairstylists in Missouri just ended. The two stylists and 140+ clients all wore masks. Not one person was infected. It's a data point. Let's hope this gets the same attention that the the original alarm got. https://www.springfieldmo.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=6939 https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/1270528973420867586 #Cuba #Missouri #Springfield

@freemo here's a list of suggestions for improving the police situation which I saw compiled in the NYT Morning Briefing a week-ish ago:
"""
Samuel Sinyangwe of Campaign Zero, a group formed after Brown’s death: Restrict chokeholds, train officers to de-escalate conflicts and prohibit them from shooting at moving vehicles, among other steps.
A 2019 California law: Change the standard for when an officer can legally use deadly force, from one based on a “reasonable belief” of imminent danger to one in which a later review finds it “necessary.”
Jennifer Cobbina, Michigan State University: Implicit-bias training for officers and “frank engagement between law enforcement and the people they serve to address tensions, grievances and misconceptions.”
David French, National Review: Acknowledge that “many controversial police shootings are lawful and justifiable” but also stop accepting excuses and cover-ups for those that are not.
Chuck Wexler, Police Executive Research Forum: Train officers to intervene when a colleague “may be on the brink of using excessive force,” as Los Angeles and New Orleans are doing.
