This article explains it better. First of all there are plenty of black owned media companies, more than one in Atlanta who were denied credentials:
The NNPA represents the 197-year-old Black Press of America, which counts among its more than 230 newspapers and media companies, The Atlanta Voice, Atlanta Daily World, and the Atlanta Inquirer. The popular Rolling Out magazine also counts among the Black Press’ members frozen out by CNN.
However, they were apparently all denied based on the Jun 7 deadline.
CNN implies the deadline was stated in their announcement of the debate on May 15th but the only deadline mentioned is for polls determining which candidates could participate.
President Biden and CBC and Rep. Meeks lobbied CNN for Black media inclusion after the denial.
I don’t know how these things usually work as there was no indication in any of the articles how the successfully media handled it. It seems crazy there would be such a knowledge gap.
Feels pretty obvious that seating would be limited and coveted, and there was contact information in the announcement for “more details”. If I had no idea how to get an invite, I’d have written that email May 15th. But maybe there’s more to the story than either side wants to tell.
Omg, this is amazing. Ok hear me out, you think bribes are expensive, but at local or even state levels they can be very reasonable, so here’s what we do is GoFundMe for legislators, where regular people bid money into escrow for a certain rep’s vote and if they do it, they get the cash. Of course people of wrong opinion can also bid so it’s not guaranteed to get you what you want, but you can collectively at least make it more expensive for them! Normal bribery requires all kinds of relationship development and professional lobbyists to make sure it’s works right, so it’s available only to the well funded few. Post-vote bribery is open to all and cuts the smarmy middlemen.
I know you’re appalled, but consider how out of touch most reps are from their constituents. They are told all day long by these lobbyists that you don’t really hate genocide or that you really count on them to keep drilling for oil. Here you can tell your real values to their face with money, the same arbiter of truth those billionaires are using. Not for a campaign, but for a specific vote!
Nearly half who were removed [during post-covid eligibility audits] were able to reenroll, the survey showed, suggesting they should not have been dropped in the first place.
These are people who have no funds and no recourse. If it takes months to re enroll, that’s months without healthcare, including residential facilities and home health services Sometimes food and shelter programs are also tied to Medicaid eligibility.
This is ludicrous. The Republicans have nothing to worry about. It does not matter to their voters at all. He could start shouting “kill, kill, kill” until he has a seizure and craps himself on stage, voters: “just like Jesus”
[Tire sales] are growing a little faster than the population, but still slower than the GDP [sad tire manufacturer noises]
Why should sales in a static (and resource intense and polluting) technology like tires grow faster than the population? Making money off the stock market seems kind of evil
EVs are still part of the solution, though. Not spilling gas all day long on every corner of the city would be a big deal.
Instead of asking humans who they would vote for, try to understand the nuances of their thoughts and concerns, let those messages bubble up to candidates so they can adjust their campaign to meet voters' demand, instead of that, why not just segment humans into a bunch of shallow stereotypes (the socialist Millennial, the...
I agree. If the choice is between phone polls and ai from Reddit, the ai at least might surface something they didn’t already think of. What they do with the information is still up to the party/candidates and still likely to be fuck-all since they didn’t really want your opinion anyway.
The way I understand it, it is a bug in C implementation of free() that causes it to do something weird when you call it twice on the same memory. Maybe In Rust you can never call free twice, so you would never come across this bug. But, also Rust probably doesn’t have the same bug.
My point is it seems it is a bug in the underlying implementation of free(), not to be caught by the compiler, and can’t Rust have such errors no matter its superior design?
Thanks, I understand the problem with using memory after it’s been freed and possibly access it changed by another part of the process. I guess I was confused by the double free explanation I read, which didn’t really say how it could be exploited, but I think you are right it still needs to be accessed later by the original program, which would not happen in Rust.
I’d like to see a law that the owner can always see where data traffic is going from a product and selectively start or stop it whenever they want. Maybe this would make part our all of the product temporarily unusable or throw a flag somewhere else in the system depending on the purpose (as specified in prepurchase literature), but it should be transparently allowed. That’s how consent works. I can dream

Who is this candidate? Pick one and start saying their name! Would Sanders take the nomination? Whoever it is, you’ll need their cooperation at least, so find your duck and get it in the row.
I don’t mean to yell at you, it is frustrating and humiliating for the average citizen, and it’s going to get worse.
Losing less is still better than losing more and if we’re too late we have to accept that and look beyond the vote to damage control in the coming years. Yes, asking each other to “hold your nose and vote” sucks, but we’ve got to pair it with the idea that protest and disobedience and local government action is going to be an important factor for years to come, no matter who is president.
I don’t know what this is about, but it reminds me of the constant ev-bashing in most major newspapers over the last two decades (since the beginning). I believe it’s oil money in the press, and definitely had effect on the overall conversation, especially discouraging small evs, but not clear effect on policy. It just keeps consumers from adopting.
Yeah but he skipped adoption and the idea that parents can continue to support their daughter even if she’s not a virgin. Teens getting married because one of them got pregnant is not the first thing I want people to think of. A teen marrying her statutory rapist should be even farther down the list.
Article is very interesting and talks about the mix of goals in regards to the protests, and how speech negatively and positively helps accomplish those goals.
Most of the media works for war. They want to see flags and make enemies. They don’t want to report on people speaking up for basic rights in solidarity with other people against the machinery and “inevitably” of war.
Btw, I support the Guardian with a small monthly donation, and if you have the means I ask you to consider it
It’s definitely a concern. The answer seems to be to have more of them, not necessarily wider, and to make sure there is cover and protective spaces along them for smaller animals. here’s one study from Canada

I’ve never seen a campus that was “closed to the public”. The article probably means the UCs are on state-owned, not private, land. But I’m not sure that’s true or makes any difference.
<span style="color:#323232;">It would require the Department of Education to use the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of antisemitism in enforcing federal statutes prohibiting discrimination against students.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">The IHRA definition, controversially for many on the left, includes "denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination" and "drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis," as examples of antisemitism.
</span>
So, I guess they would need to find a non-Nazi genocidal government to compare the actions of this specific Israeli government to. Suggestions?
What this article suggests to me is that the big companies went wrong mainly in recruiting, probably by offering good salaries and work life balance to people used to impressing generic authority figures.
The idea that non-game software doesn’t involve creativity or spit balling or iteration is ridiculous. But from what I’ve seen it does involve a lot more waiting for consensus and thinking too far down the road, which are political activities aimed at being right (as measured by vice presidents) rather than productive activities aimed at getting something done or making something cool (as measured by your own name in credits of a completed work offered to the public).
I’m not sure why big company engineers don’t just start coding while their bosses are dithering about, but they don’t, and my pop psych guess is that they’ve selected for people who want to know what’s going to be on the exam. As long as the product is never really done and almost never seen or applauded outside the company, this kind of makes sense.
As some big game studios seem to be moving to legacy products and rolling delivery to more and more captive audience, I wonder if the differences in culture will shrink. Maybe we will always depend on cash-strapped studios of slightly desperate iconoclasts for the big leaps.
I get it, but it seems frustrating to me. Another commenter suggested that a difficulty in non-game development is there is not really a right answer except the consensus answer. Unlike a game, it’s not something you can just feel on your own.
So true. This just allows you to give more of your money to a bank over your lifetime. People almost always end up spending as much as they possibly can on a house, usually because they’re in competition with a big cohort with similar income in any given area. This will just raise prices as people can get bigger loans.
As a current homeowner, I’m ok with prices going down if more owner-occupiers are actually getting into the market (and ending up as owners not just tenants to the bank). But as long as speculators and corporations can sweep in and steal the deals these lame policies just feel like more corruption.
I don’t know how the polling would catch them, but the idea that people under 30 are more progressive socially or economically is probably a huge simplification. I only have anecdotal information, but what is see is they are spilt, and largely along gender lines, with both sides taking the idea of a breakdown of government as we know it almost as a moot point.
This actually looks kind of quaint to me. Now the house would be on top of the garage and there would be six of them and the trees would be gone. I’d feel like a prince of the world if I had a 3% mortgage on this.
