@caracal_fandom @aussiewongm Oh it's still a significant loss overall. It's just often framed as a loss specifically for the seaside boomers themselves because they'll lose services. But it seems like the services mostly stay running and the cost is borne by the workers

@aussiewongm @caracal_fandom I guess my point is that's still a win from their perspective. Like if the answer to "where will the essential workers live?" is "somewhere else and commute in" that's the answer they were hoping for. If the answer was "nowhere and services will shut" they would actually worry

@VSBassoon @caracal_fandom Seems like workers just have to drive long distances into town, which does limit the pool of people interested in taking up the jobs.

@aussiewongm @caracal_fandom Both examples kind of sound the schools and hospitals are carrying on as usual?

Amid all the inane chin-stroking and mystification that goes on to explain politics today, the mental circumlocutions about how someone like Trump was elected, the pained speculations as to why liberal democracy is crumbling and so on, stuff like this is immensely clarifying.

@isaiah_bb Aren't you a progressive? I thought it was, like, the progressive position that corporations shouldn't be allowed to freely degrade natural resources.

I can think of examples where this probably happened, it's just no one noticed

How come I have NEVER heard of a famous person who went through a psychotic/manic episode suddenly becoming woke for a few months? Why does it seem like illness always makes you racist, homophobic, and extremely religious? 🪤

@MarkGottlieb @kent_hodder Yeh this is the other side of it. Missing by 0.01 cm = we are absolutely sure it's missing, overturn the original decision if it was given out. Hitting by 0.01cm = impossible to say, trust that the ump was right
English

@kent_hodder @VSBassoon That's not what margin of error means. It also could be HITTING by 1cm.

This is literally what happens in cricket. People will bitch and whine no matter where you calibrate the line.

Who cares man they have to draw a line for a pitch being called a strike somewhere Even if they make a rule that 20% of the ball has to be in the zone or something, then people will just be upset when 20.0001% of the ball is in the zone and it’s called a strike
English

@kent_hodder @MarkGottlieb The umpire's margin of error is larger than ball tracking's margin of error (which is much, much smaller than the official margin used for DRS). Substituting a larger margin of error for a smaller one is bad.
English

@VSBassoon @MarkGottlieb If we were to roll with 0.01% hitting the stumps is out and there is a margin of error embedded into the technology of 1cm, the margin of error has the ball clearly missing.
English

@kent_hodder @MarkGottlieb It's the opposite of mitigation, though. It increases the margin of error (the umpire has a greater margin of error than ball tracking)
English

@MarkGottlieb I don't like the 50% of the ball rule, but I also understand it's a margin of error mitigation tool.
