Fine, visor up this time – but at least the magnificent Earth still makes an appearance too. All #spacewalk #selfies (and other photos) made possible with a Nikon D5 with a 28 mm lens in a protective housing (visible in center of 2nd photo). #SelfieSunday pic.twitter.com/AlmUjvCWDj

Yes - very cool! But to clarify, 2MASS19400112+3007533 is the source, or background star. The binary star system is the lens, and doesn't have its own name as far as I've seen. We should be able to observe it in 2021. Gaia16aye is the name of the GAIA event.

PR also eliminates gerrymandering, and the inflexibility and the many other problems associated with politically driven redistricting. PR allows district boundaries to be drawn for rational administrative reasons with far fewer political impacts.

Gwen Ifill, the legendary journalist, is being commemorated by the U.S. Postal Service with a stamp & USPS will celebrate the release of that stamp today at 11 a.m. ET at the Metropolitan AME Church which Gwen attended for years. Watch the ceremony here: artscanvas.org/arts-culture/w…

Local tax measures are the farthest downballot, and can be the juiciest contests to attack, with the least likelihood of detection, and most challenging verification on summary ballots for voters. How did you vote on measure 2A?

I was catching your gist up to here, but you lost me at "IV inside DAGs. Some persistent googling found your lectures discussing Instrumental Variables: scunning.com/teaching/lectu…
Aha.

Glad to learn of @leila_c & her good works including @Samasource, applying @GISCnews (Global Impact Sourcing Coalition) principles for #EthicalAI. So sad to hear of her passing: techcrunch.com/2020/01/24/sam…
When will AI giants up their game like Leila Janah?

Nice map! Constellation time: Orion is bottom right. Lambda Gemini is 4th mag star in the inner 50% localization (37 square degree oval). The Twins are above left, and Procyon in Canis Minor is the bright one below and to the left. #S200114f #LIGO More: treasuremap.space/alerts?graceid…

We should make January 19 “National Y2038 Day” until the year 2038. After all, it’s also #NationalPopcornDay.

⏲️ As of today, we have about eighteen years to go until the Y2038 problem occurs.
But the Y2038 problem will be giving us headaches long, long before 2038 arrives.
I'd like to tell you a story about this.

The @nytimes main message? Evidently support of #ApprovalVoting. It allows you to vote for more than one & express your views more freely. That's indeed what we need: voting method reform & Approval Voting is the best: simple & effective @ElectionScience nytimes.com/interactive/20…

It's becoming increasingly clear to me that issues of identity are the main ground of disagreement between many in the crypto community and @RadxChange.

Fascinating.
I'm curious about this differentiability property.
For what sorts of functions does this iteration not produce a differentiable infinite series? I'm not sure why fast convergence would help - isn't it essentially a matter of similar convergence for nearby x?

Sadly, the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA) seems focused on adding districts: the wrong approach. I guess the settlement complied not because of STV in a 4-seat district, but because there's another 1-seat minority-focused district. 5-seat STV would serve them all better.

In the past, a frequent fix for tyranny of the majority was the introduction of districts/wards, but that often doesn't work and relies on #gerrymandering!
Adopting multi-seat districts with STV naturally ensures that significant views are represented and more votes count.
