The traditional pattern seen here of serving pages under a hierarchy called `~cks` indicate this is the personal site of someone who is affiliated with the university. Unless otherwise noted you should probably assume all the content is from "cks", not an army of dozens of coders.

I am assuming the "SMW3 cable" mentioned is SEA-ME-WE 3, which was mentioned multiple times in "Mother Earth Mother Board" by Neal Stephenson (1996, Wired) [0]. It was noted as a competitor to FLAG, the cable Stephenson was mainly following.

That seems like a very long lifespan.

It doesn't talk about a senate at all:

> It is divided up into 10 districts, each of which sends one representative to the national legislature, which consists of 10 people.

They take this as a given and try to come up with convoluted ways to 'fix' the problem, when just fixing this axiom would solve it much easier.

Why do they need to only have single-member districts? How about having fewer districts with more members per district? It seems like Fix Gerrymandering is a solution aimed at the wrong problem when the entire problem could just be eliminated.
