I know what you're trying to get at here, that forming a 'women-only' group is selecting against men by allowing them to join, and that selection isn't fair.

Cmon, be real. There are discussion groups that select against other parties. Some of these groups are socially acceptable (cancer survivors, people in debt, women's issues). Other's might not be socially acceptable (excluding people based on their skin color).

In this case, a group to discuss women's issues is socially acceptable to a majority of people. If you're unhappy with this standard then go campaign against it somewhere else, don't try to poo-poo the OP's app.
IRV is strictly less simple (both to explain and to implement) than Bucklin (or Majority Judgement), since Bucklin is IRV without loser elimination, and MJ is (or can be implemented as) Bucklin with ties allowed.
Hi, glad you're in a good mood :)
So only 20% of questions are posted anonymously and these tend to be highly personal or sensitive topics. The rest users post openly as themselves and we use real names and profiles.

I think the main thing here is that men cannot advise women on issues that are related to being a woman. Sure there are other topics that men could indeed contribute and add value but the reason women are joining shello is to hear from other women.

There are already platforms like Quora and Reddit where its open to all, but are predominantly male-heavy, but hardly any where women can drive the conversations.
Is it possible to give a bounty to a user on HackerOne even if you don't run a bounty program? I thought that the only way to pay them was if they submit a report to your own program. Obviously this is a problem is you don't have a program.
Well of course, Arrow's theorem shows that you can have pathologies in every system. This is also true of every apportionment system as well. As we live in the real world, the point is to choose voting systems that have the best outcome. What are the criteria?

- people need to believe it is fair.

- it should avoid lop sided results (one party always wins regardless of vote) yet should avoid excessive diffusion (i.e. you don't want to have only fragile coalitions of many small parties).

- others, all with the aim of clarity.

As there is no magic bullet people use combinations of different systems:

- Australian ballot (secret ballot) which most systems use these days; hard to enforce in USA because of first amendment.

- quasi-independent apportionment processes/committees (as used in CA, AZ et al)

- party lists (not used in USA) or party-plus-candidate (e.g. Germany)

- non-party systems (e.g. CA)

- multi-candidate districts (not used in the US)

- proportional representation (most democracies) or first-past-the-post (most dependents of Westminster). I'm a fan of the latter BTW.

- IRV

Mix, match, iterate until an overwhelming majority of people are satisfied.
I don't see how that works. If we have say 3 candidates, a rightist, a leftist, and a centrist, and the centrist is almost nobody's first choice but almost everybody's second choice, the centrist is eliminated first, and either the rightist or leftist will win. I could see someone arguing the centrist should win, but given the rules as described he won't.
No, but people's ways of thinking are influenced by how the world worked throughout their lives, with a lasting influence from when they were young.

Public shaming as an immediate reaction is fairly recent in the short history of the internet. The technology supported it easily in the 90s (or even late 80s using newsgroups), but it didn't become a common practice right away. Retweeting and hashtags seem to have turbocharged public shaming.

The social norms of my generation (49 yo, in California) required that one try to settle business disputes directly between the parties before resorting to public shaming. I still abide by that norm, even though I recognize that many people think differently. Which way is ultimately better for society isn't clear yet.
Individual action can have an effect, but those are bad suggestions that will have negligible effect unless adopted almost universally.

Things like driving less, flying less, eating less meat and buying/throwing away less stuff are things where individual actions can actually make a difference.

Watching less TV doesn't accomplish anything other making you feel like you are taking action. If you want to make a small change that will actually accomplish something, try taking public transportation or biking to work one day a week or eating vegetarian one day a week.
I don't think a DRM solution that is both robust against an adversary and inspectable by a stakeholder can be engineered. Software can't look out for both the person running it and the person selling it simultaneously when their needs are mutually exclusive. Cory Doctorow has some eloquent content on the topic, ie at [0].

In this particular case, the use of TLS (good!) makes it relatively challenging to inspect. Assuming the author isn't shipping a cert in his binary (doesn't look like it) - I'd have to spinup a new VM, load a custom root cert, and mess with a TLS terminating proxy / forwarding solution, and hope he's not using a secondary stream cipher on top of TLS. Maybe I get lucky and https://mitmproxy.org/ or something just works out of the box. In any case, lots of effort to know he's not siphoning up all the source code on the local machine and using it to train v2 of his project. And the more robust the DRM solution, the less feasible it is to inspect.

This just seemed to be all over the place, it started out with a very rare opportunity that you capitalized on and then went into leaving the corporate world, starting a startup and blah blah blah but you haven't done anything substantive. You very clearly claim that you don't know how to code well enough to run a startup without foreign help, maybe if you take a job in the industry and get the mentor-ship you clearly need you'd be able to code well enough to be able to run your startup without delays.

This just all seems like half-assed advice from someone who's probably too young to be giving it.

> IRV result is worse than the plurality result

Huh? There isn't a clear-cut way of determining the best voting system, so how were they compare the two? That matters quite a lot.

There are situations where IRV get so complicated it is unpredictable, but living in Australia that does sometimes feel like a feature - if the polity expresses no strong consensus preference, random selection amongst candidates is not a bad idea.

> Approval voting and range voting are ... strictly better

Yeah, totally [0]. Approval voting looks like the one to use just in terms of doing what a voting system does.

Any system that lets neutrals and moderates in occasionally is better than plurality. And plurality is streaks ahead of having no choice at all.

I know some people consider lack of Bluetooth support a show-stopper, and maybe for some of them it actually is, and is actually worth the downsides of Bluetooth, but I think the practical effect is actually much smaller than one might think. While some needs are only filled by specific products, and those products only come with Bluetooth support for connectivity, most needs people imagine when bringing up lack of native Bluetooth support are easily supported (perhaps even better) with other connectivity options, and Bluetooth really does come with substantial downsides even on platforms that support it.

I, for one, have yet to encounter a "need" for Bluetooth that is not better filled by something other than system-native Bluetooth support, and am happy to avoid the negatives (e.g. security issues) by avoiding Bluetooth-only products. The one case in my life where the only option is Bluetooth is something that that is designed to connect to my Android smartphone, which is not (yet?) ready for OpenBSD anyway.

In my experience, most of these are just low-level extortion attempts where they run a point-and-click vulnerability scan and ask for money to see the results.

Before I had a bounty program I'd politely reply asking for information on the vulnerability, but now I do have a bounty program so I just point them there.

If the issue turns out to be real and you want to reward them, be very careful paying them directly, as often they seem to want Google-level bounty values even though you might only be a small business.
Your zesty link detracts from the conversation. The zesty link makes a simplifying assumption, that under first past the post (called Plurality) voters vote for the nearest candidate according to some distance.

For example, if 40% believe in A and 60% believe in B, and there one candidate, X, standing on platform A, and two candidates, Y and Z, standing on minor variants of platform B, the votes split 30% for Y, 30% for Z, and X gets elected with 40%.

It is easy to see how the 2016 presidential election would have worked out if this assumption was realistic. Hillary 52%, Donald(Republican) 24%, Never-Trump(Republican) 24%. Hillary wins by a landslide, despite playing a sub-optimal electoral college game.

The assumption is very far from realistic. I next turn to whether the lack of realism matters.

Imagine a three way race, with two old established parties, A and B, and a new third party, C. Under first past the post voters who prefer C > B > A, vote B, to avoid letting A in. Meanwhile voters who prefer C > A > B vote A to avoid letting B in. Under first past the post (FPTP) it is very hard to start a new party.

We might frame the issue this way: who decides the fate of the third party candidate? Under FPTP the third party candidate loses and this decision was taken long ago, by men now dead, when they opted for FPTP. Under IRV the fate of the third party depends on today's voters. If they are voting C > B > A and C > A > B then the third party candidate stages an upset victory. If they are voting B > A > C and A > B > C then the third party candidate is humiliated and doesn't bother running again.

The argument for IRV over FPTP is that we prefer that the fate of the third party candidate be in the hands of the voters, rather than seeing the third party candidate lose automatically, by the game theory of FPTP.

The zesty link simplifies away the problem that IRV is intended to solve. But it doesn't argue that the problem is small; it cannot do that because every-one can see that the spoiler effect under FPTP is a big issue. Instead it refuses to mention the problem, simplifies it away, and hopes that nobody notices. That is derailing, not contributing.
They don't. What Ireland has signed on, is that, just as in any EU country, the corporate tax must be equal for all. National or local governments cannot negotiate deals with specific companies. This is a promise they have broken, and the cause of all the noise about Irish tax.

Seeing so many people discussing this under wrong assumptions, even on HN, makes me sad and makes me think there's a very low ceiling on tax complexity, above which people lose track completely. This means we'll never be able to fix tax. Only tax lawyers will ever even begin to grasp it. It's also a pretty good argument against direct democracy as well as an argument for abolishing the corporate tax completely.

>Almost nothing compiles in seconds

You just made me feel glad I'm mainly a C dev these days. Since you typically rebuild one C file at a time (unless you make changes to header files potentially) compilation times of a fraction of a second are the norm here.

That being said I agree with you that between 1mn compile time and 1mn10s compile time it might not make all that much of a difference in practice.

However one thing Rust does that mitigates these problems a little is that diagnostics and errors are typically generated early in the build process, so generally if you see that it started off well you can focus your attention elsewhere (or even interrupt the build early to start a new one if you make small, incremental changes).

In this context I assume that the NLL checker added time to this early phase of the boot process and it might be worth optimizing that bit in particular. If you have a lifetime issue you don't want to wait 30s to have your build error.
I do not need to have that opinion to understand that it exists. Personally I do vote and at least somewhat believe there is a democracy here in the states (especially compared to many other places currently in the world), but I urge you to try and understand why some may not be so convinced.

Probably a big part of it is lack of a good education. That combined with a few facts such as our usage of electronic voting machines having clear security exploits. These exploits are often found right after each election and the fact that the whole process isn't publicly audited is alone enough to raise suspicion. Even if they magically have never been exploited I'm sure many people believe the usage of gerrymandering, corporate campaign donations, lack of voting rights for the previously incarcerated, and the electoral college lead to a situation in which the realpolitik of America is different than what we're led to believe.

Again I personally do believe we have a somewhat real and fair democracy. However there is much that can be done to improve the legitimacy and the projected legitimacy. Yelling at people who choose not to vote is not a solution. My personal suggestions would be to switch to a direct voting system in which each person has an equal vote. Consider switching to approval voting to allow for a more accurate representation of the peoples wants and allow for 3rd (or 4th or 5th...) party candidates to have a more serious chance. Paper Ballots with a more auditable process.

You may not agree with my personal suggestions. That's not the point though. The point is that people choosing to not vote is not a problem that can be solved by being angry at said people. Instead we should find out their complaints and see if there is a way to make the validity of our democracy more obvious.
Sorry, I should have mentioned again the above link, which provides context: http://zesty.ca/voting/sim

To paraphrase, this is a simulation which places candidates and voters on a two-parameter preference space. This is useful because two dimensions are easy to visualize, but the same intuitions apply to higher-dimensional spaces.

Each point is colored to answer "which candidate wins when the popular opinion is normally distributed about this point?". That means the fractured visualization shows IRV's non-monotonicity, and how even when popular opinion is close to a centrist candidate (here in red) it might be that the voting system results in the election of an extreme candidate (green).

This is unreasonable and I would be surprised if it's permitted by their agreement with their customers (umm, I mean "limited partners"). Not that you could find that out.

Note that their customers are already paying them 2% of the commitment every year to pay their expenses. So it's already unreasonable that most VCs use the capital invested to pay their own legal costs (that's supposed to come out of the 2%!). Having them transfer additional funds they pay you back to themselves borders on fraud (the LPs are committing money on the promise that it will be invested in your growth).

If you have another VC option I suggest you take it -- this may be a sign of problems to come.

I treat them as less secure passwords -- passwords that often a representative at the company has access to. (I've experienced instances of people on the phone (upon my calling the organization at a known number) soliciting their answers and checking them against what they have on their screen. Usually these days, with actual passwords, they undergo a computerized check and members of the organization have no access to their values -- or at least to their unencrypted values. (Although, don't blindly depend upon that assumption.)

Security questions introduce insecurity. I remember being mightily puzzled when they were considered a "best practice" and the organization I was at was all "het up" to implement them.

The real reason? They save head count / expense -- at least, in the short run. One less "I can't remember my password" interaction -- one that, from an optimistic perspective, at least doesn't just blindly depend upon emailing the email address of record... Only, many sites seem to implement that alongside their security questions flow, so...
