  • I just don’t even understand how these texts would have proven anything,

    J.P. Cooney: Hey man. Is 109 Row 1 reserved for Jack?

    J.P. Cooney: Damn. Thank you for saving – but we are good. Ask Harbach.

    Gavin Wallach: He is already down here. Thanks.

    Does seat 109 in row 1 only exist in the Atlanta Hawk court?

    These texts could represent any basketball game (as it clearly did), or any other sport, or theater show, or so many things.



  • So I can’t find a great answer, but as best I can tell StatCounter uses user agents to determine this data, the web browser being the most obvious source but not the only source.

    The user agent for most web browsers on “macOS” the operating system generally report as “Mac OS X”. So other user agents, which report things like “Macintosh” but rarely actually “macOS”, are reported as “macOS”.

    This also explains why “OS X” has a larger share than “macOS”. Web browsers on the macOS operating system are used more than “other”.

    At first glance you’d think “OS X” and “macOS” should just be combined. But chances are if someone is using a web browser on macOS, they’re probably also using “other”.

    Another problem is that we don’t know how StatCounter is handling duplicate/fake data. If I constantly hit refresh or send analytics from a single device, how is that counted? What if I send “OS X” and “macOS” data?

    Luckily we also have the Cloudflare data, which shows Linux between 9% and 15%. So StatCounter using 10% is probably on the lower side, but within the margins.


  • So I’ve heard this said before, but I don’t really get it.

    Massie is a current Kentucky House representative, he lost his primary so his term will end in January.

    McConnell’s seat is up for election in November, so his term also ends in January.

    If a special election is held, it’s just to fill out his term until the end of January.

    So in a scenario where a special election is held and Massie wins, he has to resign his House seat to take the Senate seat, but the term still ends in January.

    Does that really change anything?
