Why Can't They Just...
A podcast aimed at delving into Australian politics and policy with a focus on environment, wealth inequality and foreign policy. We try to answer the question why can't they (the government) just solve big issues with simple solutions...

Testing a Safari bug fix showed me Firefox & Chromia now behave as Safari did/does (not a bad thing).
So I updated my post “Don’t Turn a Table into an ARIA Grid Just for a Clickable Row” to account for this and the CSS is now simpler (anchor link):

Don’t Turn a Table into an ARIA Grid Just for a Clickable Row
Again, title says it all. However, there is an equally bad opposite approach you might be tempted to use, so let me clarify: Don’t use ARIA grid roles simply to make rows clickable in a table, and Don’t put click handlers on table rows (s) to make them clickable. Step…

What is a sanguine new congressional candidate to do
when the district they thought they were running in gets torn apart by a governor’s efforts to gerrymander his state at the president’s behest?
For Pia Dandiya, a first-time candidate for the Democratic party in Florida,
the answer was simple:
pick up some maps, hit the road, and embrace the challenge of conquering a different part of the state.

Non-uniqueness of geodesic limits and a question of Grayson and Gage
Shrey Aryan, Tang-Kai Lee

arXiv:2608.04855v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Grayson and Gage proved that an immortal curve shortening flow of simple closed curves on a closed surface converges subsequentially to a closed geodesic, and they asked whether this limiting geodesic is unique. We answer this question negatively by constructing a smooth Riemannian metric on $\mathbb{S}^2$ and an immortal simple closed curve shortening flow that converges along different sequences of times to every geodesic in a one-parameter family of distinct simple closed geodesics.

A/I had scale. They managed lots of things, so they could have lots of people working together. This is critical to maintaining secure infrastructure. It simply takes a lot of people to do the work.
You have to be able to patch fast, which means you need someone on a pager able to take work on a weekend. This kind of thing destroys people unless you have at least 4-6 people just on patch duty.
That doesn't count other maintenance, security analysis, customer support, etc. This is a *huge* amount of work.
Tech scales up well, and down poorly. But insurgency becomes the easiest to stop when it's scaled and centralized.
An answer to this problem is "federation." Informal federations, or even formal federations that focus on shared infrastructure and separate management can solve the scaling problem without creating an easy legal target....

On Tuesday, Michigan Democrats will answer a simple question:
What if we support passion and change over safety?
The answer could reverberate through the party for years.
