I've seen the democracy vs republic argument so many times I just want to set the record straight, even though I know no one will read this thread. The US is a republic AND a democracy. For contrast, the UK is a democracy but NOT a republic (it is a constitutional monarchy)...

In the US on the other hand the power resides solely in the hands of the elected representatives. Which makes it a republic, as well as a democracy.

Non-democratic republics are now very rare. Non-republican democracies are a little more common in modern times. In any case, stop saying the US is a republic but not a democracy. It's both.

As society becomes more digital, it’s critical to improve the code powering the world's computing. Today in @Nature, we present AlphaDev, an AI system using reinforcement learning to discover enhanced computer science algorithms. How does it work? 🧵 dpmd.ai/alphadev-tw

@three_broadband I'm in N1 and the connection through my Three 5G broadband router is very spotty. It works great for a bit, and then it stops connecting to websites. Sometimes rebooting the router fixes it, but I have to do it several times a day. Are there works in the area?

This started happening regularly a couple of days ago, before it was working great.

Weirdly internet on my phone, also Three but 4G, works fine even when the 5G has an outage.

My friend Bobby just casually said “if art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time” and I was like hold up hold up hold up 🤯🤯🤯🤯 – at Chicago, IL

@virginmedia broadband internet has been in and out for the last two days, and I really need it for my work. Today it was working fine and suddenly the connection dropped (about two hours ago) and never came back. I live near Angel, are you having issues in the area?

@virginmedia hello?
PS the links on the website's status monitor are broken, so can't check there...
Replying to @three_broadband
@three_broadband look, it's pointless to tell people that their device has issues, I have run a variety of tests on my router and it's clear that it's your 5G network that is not able to cope. It's a difficult time, but hopefully this will make you better prepared in the future.

It's also a bit upsetting that this new 5G broadband was not tested under load before being released to the wider public; it should have been checked to be capable of handling all users connecting at once by distributing the load much better than it is doing right now.
If a deal is impossible, and no one wants no deal, then who will finally have the courage to say what the only positive solution is?
