Why would you, as an indepednent, be worried about more people exercising their vote? Isn't this the point of elections? To have more people vote?

The fact that disenfranchised people and more disillusioned people happen to vote for a specific party in a two party system is not a coincidence

I was putting in a gate once and had them come out to mark the utilities. There was a gas line running through the area, but it was marked at 3 feet off from where I was digging the post holes. When we pulled the auger out of the ground I noticed the gas pipe right on the very edge of the hole. I'm still not sure how the auger didn't cut through it. I'm also not sure how they managed to be so far off the mark.
Meh. I'm as cynical as anyone, but this is a "just so" hindsight story. You don't need 10s of thousands of engineers near DC to get facetime with powerful officials.

My take on Amazon's political ambition was always that one main goal of HQ2 was to get 2 more US senators on their side. If they now are adding 4 instead, I don't exactly feel disproven :)

You genuinely feel that registering with a party so you can vote in its primary elections is... a violation of the idea of a secret ballot?

I'll just come out and say it: people who have problems with this aren't worried about the sanctity of elections at all.

>Well their job is to please their clients above all else not the ad targets.

I find this comment fascinating, in that:

1. If more of the 'ad targets' (ie. consumers) knew this, then it wouldn't work so well.

2. The advertising industry, by keeping their clients happy, are treating the customers of their clients as a resource to be squeezed wherever and whenever possible, and the clients are obviously fine with this.

3. Point #2 results in the advertising industry being a lightning rod for angry anti-consumer sentiment, allowing the ad industry clients to remain relatively clean.

4. It would be 'good / right' if the ad-industry clients that sell the various products being shoved in our faces on most of the flat-surfaces to be found on the Internet could be held to account just as much as the ad industry itself, then the ad industry would have more reason to drag itself out of the sewer. See point #1.

Edited to add: @Nasrudith, just to clarify, your comment is a great point, and succinct. Well said.
France does have primaries, and I'm not referring to the first round of the general election. Les Républicains voted to select Fillon over Juppé in 2016, for example, in such a primary.

The US's political system is basically set up in a way that prevents more than two political parties feasibly existing. Some states have decided to ameliorate the two-party situation by tweaking the primary system to act as a pretend first round of the election instead of making the actual election be two rounds or other alternatives to first-past-the-post elections. Such a primary is known as a "jungle primary."

Personally, I've only lived in states that have open primaries (anyone can participate in the primary), or semi-open primaries (independents voters can participate in any primary; declared voters must participate only in their own party's). I'd personally prefer a blanket primary (you can choose the primary to vote in on a per-party basis), but the Supreme Court ruled that it unconstitutionally violated the freedom of association in the First Amendment.

One thing to remember about US elections: there's not one set of rules that governs everything. There's generally at least 50 different sets of rules, one for each state; and even then, you can get different rules for different races. Generalization is therefore quite difficult for US elections.
they have done it; it’s called “.NET Core”.
Voting history is just that you voted. In many states, they record your party. So how you voted is pretty easy to infer. For example, the incumbent party likely won't have a presidential primary, so if you voted you're probably on the other team.

That said, for very arcane election admin reasons, if you use postal ballots, keeping your votes secret is very hard.

And if you're voting electronically, you get neither private voting or public counting.

I just learned about approval voting and it has my...approval.

Jokes aside, "upvoting" all the candidates I approve seems much more doable than ranking the candidates in order of merit, especially given that there are a lot of candidates running.

One example: in some states, you can vote in any primary, but only one primary for each race. If there is no public record that you voted in the Reoublican primary, then you can safely go and vote in the Democrat primary as well.

Guys, Amazon is not a charity.

They aren't looking to build up a city. It's a foolish business decision to put something with the needs of HQ2 in a place with no transit. Sure, you can build transit, but A - it's expensive, and B - it's not your job or expertise.

Instead of lamenting the jobs they missed out on with HQ2, a forward thinking city would get to work building out its transit system. Many cities are doing just that. Houston for instance.

If places like Columbus or Nashville have a better strategy than building attractive infrastructure for competing with places like Houston and NYC for such jobs, then let them pursue that strategy. The market will settle the issue in the end.
> How does Exxon attract talent to Houston? How about FedEx attracting talent to Memphis?

Two big differences:

1. The talent crunch for Exxon and FedEx isn't nearly as bad as the crunch for engineering talent that Amazon is facing. Simply put, engineers that can get offers from Amazon have many options, and moving to Buttfuck, Nowhere won't be the best of them.

2. Exxon and FedEx employees, especially the senior, harder-to-secure talent, tend to be older folks with families. The talent Amazon would typically go after is much younger, often recent graduates.
>If anything, a higher voter turnout may give a bad regime more confidence, or at least give them a nice talking point about their “mandate.”

This is ahistorical. Bad regimes do not need an excuse to talk about how they are The One True Choice Of The People.

In fact, bad an unpopular regimes have two very common modus operandis to maintain power, or at least the patina of democratic legitimacy. The first is simply fraudulent elections. We’re taking litteral ballot stuffing, and other unfair and unfree election tactics.

The second, which has a long history in the United States, is voter suppression. This is where you make policies that ostensibly applies to everyone and makes elections “safer” or somehow better, but actually makes it harder on groups you think will oppose you from actually voting. Tactics include literacy tests, poll taxes, photographic ids, strict registration requirements that target students, selectively closing polling places early, or simply closing them in certain precincts, targetting strict handwriting or punctuation. Even gerrymandering could be considered election rigging. In all of these suppression cases, the commonality is that the politician is not being chosen by the voters, but rather the politician is choosing the voters.
Belief in the fairness of the system brings stability. Without it we start descending into political violence. We are already starting to see glimpses of it on both sides as people lose faith.

There is a pretty big difference between a legitimate ad and what Google is saying they are targeting here. We can't be sure if Google will end up targeting other ad companies in inappropriate ways - but we can remain vigilant. However, whats actually been announced here is that they are going after garbage ads that in my anecdotal experience, are basically 100% malware / scams and its a complete fallacy to say that Google should not do something good (shut down that garbage) because they _might_ later do something bad (which they could do regardless of if they shut down that garbage).

I'd challenge anyone to provide even anecdotal experience of encountering an ad that meets their stated guidelines for being an abusive ad (linked by Yver at: https://support.google.com/webtools/answer/7347327) that isn't a scam / malware.

I think the concept you describe is better named tail call eliminiation.

“Optimization” makes it sound as if you could turn it off or on for performance reasons. Instead, programs rely on tail call elimination being in place or otherwise they would not work.
There are multiple things to take into consideration here.

For example, there are arguments made that we need to have more strict voter ID laws in order to prevent potential undesirables from voting. Yet that necessitates gathering more data from citizens. If we want the government to be transparent and open with the data it collects, then that necessitates making that data public. It's a very difficult act to balance having an open government while expecting data the government collects to be private, because otherwise you end up with cases like voters conspicuously dropped from voter rolls using information that is unverifiable and unable to be accounted for by the public.

There's also considerations to be made when an act of public policy can directly affect large portions of the population. For example people who might vote to remove or lessen the rights for minorities are entitled to privacy even though their actions can cause direct harm to vulnerable populations. This is made worse through voter suppression as people vote in favor of actions that cement their own power without recourse.

At the same time I can understand why privacy is necessary because in the era of Big Business, it's not unfathomable to imagine businesses using public data like that to make decisions on who to hire or to threaten employees into voting for policies that directly help them. Yet I can't help but feel that people who are ashamed of whom they vote for are people that know some of the policies they're voting for are bad in one way or another, but chooses to support them anyways, although that veers into the 'nothing to hide' argument.

And frankly, merely being that well rounded by itself takes you beyond mediocrity.
