If I had to make an objective measure of whether a district looks prone to gerrymandering, I'd start by applying measures of eccentricity to the border of each district of a state and taking the geometric mean. Some of these measures are ratios of the area of some shape related to but larger and rounder than the border to the interior area of the district. This could be the district's convex hull (convex = 1.0), the quarter perimeter squared (square = 1.0), or the area of a circumscribed circle (circle = 1.0).

Then I'd see how the mean for each state correlates with the actual measure of gerrymandering, which is difference between the two major parties' seats-to-votes ratio in the state's legislature. I'm aware of the Goodhart-Campbell law stating that measures like this tend to become gamed as optimization targets, thereby losing much of their value as measures.

At least in your information silo they aren't.

If a shortage of corn becomes a problem in the future, the panels can be removed. In the meantime, if the extra electricity speeds the adoption of EVs, then we can *burn* less of our food in ICE cars. We're currently dedicating more than a third of all those cornfields just for that. There's no plausible scenario where a third of all the cornfields would be converted to solar arrays anyway.

As I understand it, Republican leaders want individual income tax compliance to feel like a burden to build support among the electorate for repealing it. I've gathered over the past decade that they want to replace the income tax with import tariffs and something like FairTax, which is a national sales tax combined with a universal basic income equal to the sales tax on a federal poverty level's worth of purchases.

"The botnet was used to launch more than 370,000 attacks in 80 countries, including China, Japan and the U.S., prosecutors said."

And no one was harmed or killed? Normally manslaughter to murder 1 (in the USA) is 10 years to life. A third of a million attacks targeting 37% of all nations on this panet gets at most TEN years? What the fuck is wrong with the US justice system?!?

They might as well start pardoning the criminals in DC (oh, right, they did that in January). What a banana republic

So, on a medium such as the WWW that has no inherent security and has been plagued by scammers since nearly its inception, a “real estate developer from Las Vegas” is too busy to type https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.royalcaribbean.com%2F and click the phone number at the top of the page, and instead freely gives out his credit card information to an unverified phone number that came up in a Google search, and the reporter from WP thinks this is mostly Google’s fault?

We are so fucked.

That's only because the gold-plated chalice that LA Fitness's CEO is mailing to the White House is on backorder.

(Inventory is low. Lately there seems to have been a run on these items for some reason.)

A) they are that stupid.

B) they are that kind of troll.

Either way, talk about logical fallacies roflmao.

"... but few people are going to care. Its not like there's much to see out an airplane window anyways outside of takeoff and landing."

How about you take a long, tall drink from a cup of shit-the-fuck-up? Maybe that'll be a relevant clue-by-4 to illustrate to you, that you -- have your head up your ass.

Other people do not think like you do.

Go learn something and stop being an arrogant, narcissist shit.

It is literally a summarization model. Its context window is the text to summarize. It was literally trained on being given text as a context, and summaries as outputs.

Yep, you've got to sand down those pipes and slap on a fresh coat of spar urethane at least every three years.

I'll reduce the problem to something falsifiable. You might prove presence or lack of neo-Nazis in EV industry leadership like this:

1. List all electric vehicle makers registered to trade in the US market.
2. List their top leaders, particularly the chief executive, operating, and financial officers.
3. Find political parties with a strongly socially conservative national-populist platform, such as Alternative for Germany (AfD, Germany), the National Rally (RN, France), and the Republican Party (GOP, United States). These parties tend to draw credible comparisons to the NSDAP. Add extra points for parties promoting natalism or eugenics.
4. Look for news articles in which a top leader of an EV maker has publicly supported one of these Nazi-aligned parties.

This procedure would identify Tesla head Elon Musk, who has spoken before AfD.

Even if a publicly traded company's headquarters is outside the United States, the company can still be at least partly American-owned. Japanese-headquartered automakers Toyota (TM) and Honda (HMC) and Dutch automaker Stellantis (STLA) are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Some other Japanese companies, such as automaker Nissan (NSANY) and video game publisher Nintendo (NTDOY), instead trade on the OTC market in the United States. Their symbols end in "Y" which I think stands for an American depositary receipt of a Japanese company.

Or at least that was the case until Daimler and then Fiat bought Chrysler.

I don't understand how international travel even works. I've read that even doing your own chores at the house you're staying at is considered "work" and therefore forbidden on a tourist visa, and in the 2020s decade, countries' immigration enforcement agencies are stepping up enforcement of this.

Also I would probably need serious help to find a day job that pays more to become able to afford to travel internationally on a regular basis.

Mad was one such magazine, introducing ads after a long run without them.

There's the difference. The web is flexible enough to allow two such editions and print largely isn't.
