The problem isn't with the voting algorithm - it's with the voter pool. Voters must have skin-in-the-game (ie be responsible for their vote) in order to have responsible government.
This means that votes should be weighted according to taxes paid. People who pay no tax shouldn't be excluded, but the fact that they are not personally responsible for funding the government should be taken into account in their vote.

There are things called containment boards on 4chan for a reason. Seems that they also contain any outside perspective on the site as well. /b/ and /pol/ are particularly egregious, but they're worth suffering to live if it means I can keep /g/ and /tg/. The open format of the site also, while it does contain a lot of posting, does have a curious cross contamination effect. You may learn about an entirely unrelated thing on accident, for good or ill.

Deutsche Bahn // ioki (ioki.com) | Backend Software Developer | Frankfurt am Main, Germany | ONSITE | Full-Time | Junior, Senior | http://bit.ly/ioki-junior-developer and http://bit.ly/ioki-backend-developer

ioki is a complete service provider for digital forms of mobility on the road. We enable third parties, such as cities, transport companies or municipal authorities, to operate new types of demand responsive transport (DRT) mobility in public transport under their own name and design. To achieve that, we provide the ioki platform and mobile apps.

We are looking for software developers, from junior to senior, to join our Backend team, which builds the platform that helps our customers launch and scale their mobility products. We are a team of four that is central to ioki’s product development and wants to grow with its young codebase, which has seen a lot of production use already but is carefully maintained and free of technical debt.

Our main stack consists of Ruby and Ruby on Rails, but experience in the language or the framework is not a hard requirement. Much more than that, we care that you have general software engineering skills, high standards and take pride in your work.

Damn auto complete. That should be "you can find a ton of videos".
I think that political calculations regarding proportional representation were a factor in the Liberal decision to scrap reform but the stated reason for not wanting a MMP system is a pretty good one. In Europe MMP has supported a lot of fringe parties that have used the funding that comes with having full-time representatives on government payrolls to build strength to the detriment of the political environment.

Folks cite the fact that fringe parties only receive 1%ish of the vote in Canada as evidence that this is not a valid concern but it is easy to see how voter behaviour would change as campaign mechanics changed due to a PR system. (These arguments rather conveniently ignore the number of Green Party votes that Canadians in most ridings cast knowing they are throwing their vote away when arriving at the 1% number.)
Just bury the algae?
I disagree. The idea of approval voting is that if majority is against for you to be a representative, you shouldn't be a representative. This is "the will of the people", per representative basis.

Parsons | Journeyman Dev, Senior SysAdmin | USA | REMOTE | https://www.parsons.com/

You MUST have an active DoD security clearance for these positions!

Both jobs are remote/work from home. The full team is remote, so you won't be missing out on in-office conversations. Work weeks are 40 hours, and we generally try to have people overlap 10am-4pm EST.

Journeyman Dev:

- develop backend and endpoint applications for security compliance, risk scoring, authentication, etc.
- strong in python, perl, ruby, or PHP
- experience with a second language (others within that list, or C, Java, Clojure, etc.)
- good Linux/Unix skills (command line, scripting, etc.)
- recommended/beneficial experience: relational DBs, security, and networking
- requires a DoD 8570 baseline certification: Security+ (can be obtained prior to your start date) or CISSP

Senior SysAdmin:

- lead a small team of sysadmins, including delegating tasks
- manage a multi-site enclave of virtualized Linux servers
- maintain system security per DoD policy and best practices
- knowledge of networking protocols, system hardening, and virtualized environments
- experience with a configuration management tool (puppet, chef, ansible, etc.) and RHEL/CentOS (packaging, services, etc.)
- requires DoD 8570 baseline certifications: either Security+ or CISSP, and Linux+ or RHSA

I don't have salary ranges for either position at the moment, but if I had to throw out a ballpark figure I'd guess 90k for the dev position, and 115k for the sysadmin position. But again, those are guesses on my part.

>4chan has never been a nice place. Most people don’t spend time there

Imagine a place where people don't take things that seriously and things are just weird enough that the inside jokes keeps all the outsiders out and alienated. Everyone else is sitting around the virtual campfire telling jokes and sharing stories. 4chans all reaching (and not-just-/b/-and-/pol/) bad rep comes largely in thanks to people who obviously don't browse 4chan or have only taken a look at /pol/ or /b/. They took a passing glance, maybe for a day or two, saw nothing but inane bullshit, and (justifiably) moved on with their lives. 4chan has a lot of shit, I don't deny that and I don't blame anyone for not having the desire to wade knee deep in it. Although wading through only the deep end of it skews perspectives heavily.

Notice how this article purposefully cherrypicks boards like /pol/, /h/, and /y/ instead of the less egregious boards /g/ (technology), /o/ (automobiles), /his/ (history), or /co/ (comics). One would leave with the idea that 4chan is nothing but a place for hentai and alt-right hate groups. Even among itself /b/ and /pol/ are disliked among the site. They're considered containment boards that prevent other boards being shit up. But one wouldn't understand the concept of a "containment board" if one doesn't browse 4chan. In fact - most articles about 4chan don't even use the term "containment board" because the authors never lurk long enough to discover the term.

>There was a time, a couple of decades ago, when trolls didn’t really exist online

Are they talking about pre-Usenet days? I don't remember a time online when trolls didn't really exist.

>And because each message board is limited to 10 pages of posts, most messages get bumped off the server within a day, if not hours. It’s pretty much unusable for the uninitiated.

This is by design. Hence "Lurk more." Imagine trying to jump into an hour old conversation having heard only the past 10 seconds of it. Nothing you have to say at that moment could have any relevance to the conversation because you still don't know what the conversation is even about. Now imagine that conversation has been going on for 15 years and you've only just showed up an hour ago. Oh - it's also in a language you can only half understand and can't speak yet. Nothing you could say is important, you're missing any useful information, can't identify greentext and copypasta from actual opinions and information. The concept of lurking before contributing to a discussion is seemingly lost in a post-Usennet, post-forum internet.

>And Gamergate, the smear campaign against female game developers?

Audibly laughed. They're still sticking with that? Gamergate has, and you can count yourself, has "harassed" far more males than females. Almost all journalists - and almost all peddling bullshit. Saying someone is spewing bullshit isn't harassment. Although I do love how Elon Musk became an alt-right, anti-Semitic, GamerGator because he dared speak out against the media.

>> Its easy to argue your point when your the scales are even and between completely non-civilian and professional armies but when those lines are blurred your position makes one completely incapable of action.

I don't disagree. The current situation is that we're trying to find a balance between the perceived necessity of warfare and the undeniable horror of the consequences of it to civilian populations. It's absurd to think that we can nicely and cleanly separate war against a nation's army from war aginst that nation's people.

The obvious solution would be to not accept the necessity of warfare anymore. But I guess, we're very far from that.
It is. For both legitimate and nefarious uses. Bigger software/game devs still use bittorrent to distribute patches and updates—World of Warcraft is an example.
It might be reasonable to conclude that, in practice, GDPR has caused a number of companies to their re-assess data collection and retention hygiene (even beyond the minimum bounds of the law). In particular, this change seems to be a very charitable or expansive reading of the requirement under the GDPR for companies not to collect more than is necessary -- as the post ends by noting.
Forgotten Weapons and InRangeTV, both for firearms stuff.
Ultimatest super-goal: make anonymity the default stance and socially accepted norm. Do with anonymous browsing what WhatsApp did with E2E encryption. Force big data suckers to invent new business models for exploiting our data without breaching our privacy.
This is mirrored in my experience with dynamical simulations and mathematical optimization work.
This is a very important point because taxes affect decisions around money.

For example, the ability to contribute to a 401k plan can defer $18,500 a year from taxes per person (more if over age 50, and more if there is a company match). For someone with a $130k gross, the employer having a 401k plan or not could affect the choice of which job they choose.
That's pretty simple: if you don't pay taxes, your vote should be weighted accordingly.

It definitely still is. And with the concept of private trackers, it's not really a simple thing to turn off. Companies like IP Echelon tend to automatically bully US/cloud users, but in general they're IMHO far from killing the network. The only problem is that there's fewer and fewer torrent search engines...

How to design user scenarios
> Going back to the original proportions, and having ~35,000 representatives could solve a lot of the money in politics issues.

How? When people complain about money in politics issues these days, they're usually complaining about 3rd party money. I don't see how having 100x more representatives would reduce 3rd party money. It's not like it's hard to target 3rd party ads to small geographic areas.
> He advocates an alternative voting method called approval voting, in which you can vote for as many candidates as you want, not just one. That means that you can always support your honest favorite candidate, even when an election seems like a choice between the lesser of two evils.

> While it might not seem sexy, this single change could transform politics. Approval voting is adored by voting researchers, who regard it as the best simple voting system available.
People who don't vote generally don't have strong opinions, or don't care at all, or haven't really thought about the issues. Why do we think representing the "meh, whatever" component of the population will help?
Those are interesting preferences and perspectives. I will set up a site to counter them from my perspective and experiences.

To summarize, you are a dissident. I am a news reporter. You are giving me information about your government. Your life and the lives of your family members now depend 100% on the security of the Tor Proxy transport. Tor is a proxy transport and nothing more.

As a dissident, you have been trained by me to install addons that validate the signature of my HTTPS certs will not change. I also showed you how to do this using openssl s_client. When Tor is popped and routing you to your government hosts, you will see the SSL signature change. Per my instructions, you will cease all communication with me.

Without HTTPS, you are relying entirely on the transport for assurance of who you are talking to. This is neither appropriate nor acceptable for this type of communication.

PGP is not a mitigating control, because the handshake has completed and you are now downloading your state sponsored rootkit. It's too late by that point. The only thing we have to validate ID and allow or block application traffic is a certificate.
Can you link the poll you mention?
In my experience, migration scripts that include modifications to output JSON (as ALTER TABLE statements) are always tracked and programmed to be auto-executed on each version update.
I can hear the product managers at cloudflare maniacally laughing their heads off right now.

A side-effect if you're being generous, or primary motive if you're being cynical, of 1.1.1.1 is that CF acquires all the geo info at the expense of everyone else. This puts CF in a particularly advantageous position over DIY GSLB (pushing content providers into using CF), as well as other CDNs of course. Not only that, the privacy policy promises they will not share resolver data with any other party! lol of course they won't -- why would they give up this competitive advantage! It means they are guaranteeing they will not pass on RFC7871 ECS info.

Of course DNS-based geo isn't perfect, and there are other solutions (js pixel timing, anycast, others) but using DNS is still pretty major. Combining it with anycast, as CF does, is surely powerful.

Getting FF to use 1.1.1.1 so that "user's don't have to" is incredible. Someone at CF is getting a huge bonus this year.
That’s the problem with preemptive strikes against individuals who aren’t part of a nation that declared war against you.. who’s t say they wouldn’t have attacked you? The metrics are inpossible, and the government is free to redefine people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time as probably guilty anyways.
I don't think first past the post is as bad as the article paints it. Every voting system is suboptimal in some sense due to Arrow's impossibility theorem. With FPTP you're likely to end up with two candidates who have positions right next to the median, which is actually quite reasonable.

The main advantage of this system is that it gives incentive to the candidates to pick a position on the political spectrum close to the median voter. From individual voter's perspective this may look like you're given a choice between two equally bad candidates, but that's just an illusion.
