That policy change reads like a more liberal version of Obama's first term compaign platform on social issues.

Lets not pretend that the current climate in SF isn't both way outside the Overton window for most of rest of the US and most of California until ten years ago.

Wtf is this comment in relation to? Certainly not the article which is about a strictly technical issue or how to deploy time smearing for the first time.

>>vlovic+H
It's a reference to the very last paragraph of the article.

>>schoen+L
And the title.

>>vlovic+H
Read to the end. The time smearing article was just a clever ruse to set up her political jab.

>>llm_tr+(OP)
With this comment you seem to be putting the Overton window farther right than I’ve seen it in recent memory —- outside of very rural areas.

>>llm_tr+U
Not really? The title is a reference to the article's topic of systematically manipulating time standards (which results in the time for the entire company getting slowly sent "into the past") for the purpose of avoiding complexities like leap seconds, etc.

>>In 2023, there were approximately 55.94 million people living in rural areas in the United States, while about 278.98 million people were living in urban areas

If Trump won, it couldn't have been solely because of people in the boonies, who represent a much smaller proportion of total demographics. The same goes for Brexit, and all the happenings that have been shifting Western societies as a whole towards the far right.

This sort of obliviousness is not helpful in fixing the situation. Same energy as the media acting like Trump could never possibly become POTUS. These incompetents are getting in positions of power because the left and moderate right are, it seems, still not perceiving what is going on outside of their very specific bubbles.

The fact that she has the experience (and the stories) to set it up in the first place more than makes up for it, IMHO.

Urban voters represented 20% of voters. Sub-Urban 45%. Rural 35%

63% of Urban voters went Harris, 35% Trump. 63% of Rural voters went Trump, 35% Harris. Suburban went 52% Harris and 47% Trump

The 15% more Rural than Urban voters, combined with gerrymandering and state vote power differences offset the 5% Democrat lean of Sub-Urban voters.

If we look at who ACTUALLY voted from the voting age population, then the boonies certainly did win it for Trump despite the other 65% being pro Harris to varying degrees. If we consider people who didn't vote at all that could have, and assume the majority of those would have voted for Harris, then we can likely blame those that didn't vote for leaving the power in the hands of those in the boonies.

Eh, that’s more an overstatement than you’re claiming of GP. Just my opinion, but yea I guess I don’t see how this isn’t a return to the centrist-status-quo-liberal perspective of like 2005-2014. Massive hand waving implied
