Take care #voting, make your #Preferences count.
“Preferences have become more important than ever in Australian elections, as the share of people supporting the major parties has dropped from more than 90% of primary votes in the 1950s to just 68.8% in the most recent federal poll.
The last Australian election saw 16 seats won by candidates who were not leading after the first count – the most ever, tied with 2016. And more than half of those winners were independent candidates – also the most ever.
Australia’s electoral system requires #voters to #number #candidates in their order of preference: their first choice, second choice and so on. During #counting, if no candidate has yet achieved a #majority, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and their votes are redistributed to voters’ next #preference. This is repeated until there is a clear winner.”

2) @signalapp 's #Server code is proprietary and since it's centralized we can't trust that the code they release is what's running on their backend!

3) #Signal still demands #PhoneNumbers which are #PII either by association (#Number => #ICCID = #SIM = #IMSI => #IMEI => Location Data as I explained beforetwice) or mandatory #KYC / #ID requirements (even on prepaid cards), which an increasing amount of juristictions do...

“The big drawback is that [the phone number] approach requires you entirely surrender your privacy. If you know a person’s phone number, it’s not hard to track down all of their personal information from there.”
“Perhaps we might need to work towards […] breaking the internet down into smaller communities that are easier to manage.”

In 1982, managers of the Lisa software team began tracking engineers' progress by the number of lines of code written weekly. Bill Atkinson, a key implementer, optimized Quickdraw's region calculation, reducing code by 2,000 lines and making it six times faster. He reported "-2000" lines of code on the form. Soon after, managers stopped asking him to fill it out.

“The soldiers turned us from names into numbers, and every detainee had a number that they used to provoke him during his arrest and call him by number instead of name. To them, we are just numbers.”
I just got a #scam #call from a #number I probably marked as #scamlikely and they left a message "please return my call at your earliest convenience"
The thing that I don't understand is why I don't have an opinion to just ignore. Like, I'm reading, and suddenly this phone starts shaking and the pop up comes up with 3 options... hangup, pickup or screen. How about ignore? I already know it's a scam number. And why allow them to leave a message at all? It's a scam number! Give me a #ban option!
Every once in a while I encounter someone asking how define a #number like 3. And I respond by saying that there are mathematical definitions that define these in ways that get us the right mathematical properties, but those definitions are not going to give you insight into what numbers are.
It will be interesting to see what Frédéric Patras has to say in “The Essence of Numbers”, which I’ve just started to read. The introduction contains
“to justify the existence of the most ordinary numbers, one, two, three…, [the theory] had to resort to abstract processes whose complexity seems to be out of proportion with that of the entities that were being defined.”
"By'm bye, by'm bye,
Star shining,
Number #number 1, number 2, number 3, good Lord,"
sang Ava to the fretful baby in her arms.
It was a cloudy night: you couldn't see star number 1, number 2, number 3, but Ava imagined they must smile when their number came up. But there were billions of stars up there. What about stars beyond 10?
Ava started singing only numbers: 3,799,434,388,234,421,577,236
"That's for you, faraway star, " she whispered, once the baby drifted off.
