@jerry instructions unclear. watered servers, energized self

@Craigp "just because you're invulnerable to some kinds of propaganda, doesn't mean that propaganda focused at you won't work"

at this point I think I'm searching "delays {swing state}" or "delays {large county}"

@dansup you're pretty neat

maybe 24 hours away from knowing more about the state of the race...

goodness I hope it looks good by that time

@luciedigitalni @georgesphotos maybe they weren't old enough

@BinaryUnit @andre

it's mostly "who do you trust to run status.$yourdomain.com"

e.g., I could swear tumblr and twitter used to run each other's status pages.

you could obviously ping someone out of band and say "hey your site is down" on mastodon

@andre I mean, if you don't find peeps I'll ping your servers lol

but probably peeps you trust

my outbound/inbound mail is randomly broken

@andre buddy system

ask a buddy to ping your servers if you ping theirs

Dixville Notch voted, 3-3.

alright, 24 hours left on one timer, 32 hours left on the second one

should see some states called

I really hope lots of people on election day in each swing state vote blue.

enough for each swing state to be showing up as blue before they even start the mail ballots

and then I hope the mail vote is very blue, too.

please vote

@Rajiv still her.

e.g., pence did it.

@da_667 for a second I thought your thumbnail was a festive Roger Smith from American Dad

so, #veritasium 's choice of a thumbnail on a cool bit of electoral math theorems (a ballot being shredded)

really tells you what I think about his clickbait, reckless youtube channel.

yes, preference aggregation while satisfying all voters (or not having spoiler candidates) has lots of papers on the subject.

no, not in a million years would I have picked a shredded ballot as a thumbnail in an election where a candidate claims it's rigged. it just leads to angry people.

using obscure units (like the runtime length of your favorite show, the travel time of a specific Amtrak train, or the Apollo missions),

how long do you think it'll take for the election to be called? how about officially certified?

e.g., the Zephyr that departs from Emeryville California tomorrow at 8:25 AM will arrive in Chicago at 2PM the 6th

#election2024 #harris

huh. the whole of game of thrones, end to end, is around 70 hours 14 minutes.

trying to get a sense of scale for the amount of time.

apollo mission seems long, that's like the 16th.

@thisismissem oh no

@thisismissem same idea as youtube's "personalized" notifications.

I like the idea of letting users pick their algorithm and have it behave as expected.

e.g.,

"max 2 / week from each channel"

or other algorithms they get to pick
