If this were in place in 2013, it may have flipped the mayoral primary to Thompson, since he and Quinn combined had more votes than de Blasio, and both were more aligned with the centrist "machine" faction than de Blasio was.

There was also some form of proportional voting in place in the '30s and '40s when LaGuardia was mayor. It greatly weakened the Tammany Hall machine and brought independent voices into the city council for the first time. Then the Communist Party won a couple of council seats. Aghast, the majority quickly amended the charter to go back to FPTP in single member districts...and Tammany sprang back into dominance.

Many American cities had similar experiments with PR around the same time, and most of them "failed" for similar reasons, so for a time the only place in America with proportional representation was Cambridge, Mass., where of course the Communists would win a majority on the council regardless of what voting system they used. :P

A (Constitutional) Monarchy is better _because_ it has no legitimacy. The purpose of the Monarch is not to Rule but only to provide a Figurehead, a living Symbol of their country.

That's what Liz is for and she's really good at it.

If the US had an elected Figurehead president, Trump would have been a perfectly functional drop-in. Likes gaudy things, talks bullshit, eats too much fast food - symbol of America, works for me.

The problem is that the US combines the Figurehead role with Executive leadership. That's crazy, there aren't going to be many suitable candidates for either role, and now you're asking the electorate to vote for a single individual to do both, no surprises the results aren't good.
Hey, I work at a nuclear fission company. We think we can get our electricity prices to around $0.0025 / kWh by around 2045. This represents a ~20x reduction from off-peak cost in Ontario where I live, and ~150x reduction from average electricity prices in Germany.

Also, w.r.t. population, the way I see it our population is growing very quickly whether we like it or not (look at Africa). I think there's a good opportunity for us to support a population much larger than we have right now with improved sustainable energy tech.

(Solar panels are also getting cheaper, and will probably run around $0.02/kWh in the near future if iteration continues, and are probably capable of supporting us up to 20 billion people as well)

Colo - US, static IP for 5 years: 7 things I haven't downloaded and can't find any history of on my disks or backup software.

Seedbox - EU, static IP for 3 years: nothing.

Home probably has <12 downloads, the other two should have thousands from various sources.

If the laws are good, if I agree with the means and the ends, then I do not mind the wrong people defending it, or for the wrong reasons.

So let's all sustain for a second our disbelief and ignore all the value judgments, governments and churches involved. The crux of the issue is that the law changed to require that artificial insemination be available only to couples.

In my own country it seems adoption is also only available to couples (either legally or de facto), and it is near impossible for a father to win a custody case when divorcing.

I think the wider trend here is prioritizing some ideal of what would be the best outcome for the (future) child and most of society believing a single parent would not do as good a job as a couple, on a significant averages comparison, and that men are inferior child rears as well.

I don't know if it is true, but living in a democracy means common wisdom, anecdotes and tradition bend scientific and informed decisions.
(disclosure: I'm a PowerPC kernel developer at IBM)

The PPC64LE Linux ecosystem is doing quite well, due in large part to the amount of effort that distributions (Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian, SuSE) as well as IBM and its partners have been putting in to making sure Linux on Power is a competitive and fully supported server platform.

The focus has been on server software more than desktop software, the desktop ecosystem works well enough that most Raptor Talos II owners are happy but there are of course still a few gaps.

In the case of this notebook, they're using an older NXP QorIQ chip rather than a POWER8 or a POWER9, so things will be a little trickier for them, but at least when it comes to common open source software of the kind shipped in Linux distros, it's not at all insurmountable.
Do you think creating strawman arguments are effective and is that how you typically engage in a discussion?
This might be the reason behind the disappearance of professional physical comedy. I mean, practical (special) effects have largely disappeared too because computer (special) effects are usually cheaper. Slapstick requires not just a sense of humor but also fitness and real effort.

I didn't get the impression Jackie said there wasn't talent. Talent is part of the equation, but yes, he openly stated it still took a lot of tries to get right. Most of his movies feature failed tries at the end to give you an idea.
Why not use Tor? Isn't its whole purpose to solve this problem in a trustworthy way?
Just rewatched that scene (happens at around 1:16:00). The first time I watched that scene in particular I had to pause it because I was flabbergasted that they were so clearly breaking the fourth wall.

After the... unfortunate opening scene of the movie I hadn't rewatched it but every time I see even a small clip of anything from Eva (the movie or the show) I'm just enamored. Hideaki Anno is one of the greatest artists of our time just from NGE and Shin Godzilla. It felt like every frame of the original anime was perfect.
> One of them involves colluding on influencing FCC policy.

That is an extremely US-centric view.

Aside from that, physical ISPs have something to lose, as they have a very real infrastructural investment; whereas becoming a "VPN provider" literally does not entail more than "rent a few servers, run OpenVPN, buy a billing system license, hire a marketing guy".

It's entirely viable for a VPN provider to just disappear overnight and set up shop under a different unrelated name at virtually no cost to them, if their old brand gets burned. That significantly changes the trust equation, and not in favour of VPN providers.

My company hasn't been able to deploy any updates to our ElasticBeanstalk application for about 7 hours due to this. Luckily there's nothing urgent we need to deploy, but this makes me extremely nervous about using AWS going forward. If we experienced an outage that required a rollback or forward fix we would be totally hosed.
It's crazy just how little of the Earth we are crammed into though. I'd imagine we could branch out a little more, giving people more space, if it were properly managed. More settlements, but make all the space in between untouchable reserve.

My wife ran into the storage problem and got warning messages. Despite significant tinkering I couldn't find any way to get any kind of storage report. Once they split gdrive and gphotos there's no API, there's no report, and you can't sort by size.

I'm all for paying for a service, but it does seem rather underhanded to claim someone is using X GB of storage, but making it near impossible for them to see what is actually using that storage.
> they can extract concessions from one of the stronger candidates in exchange for dropping out

While technically true, I can't think of a single example of this happening outside of the US two-party system. I.e. you'll see democrats stepping down during the primaries but it's not like Ralph Nader offered to pull out if Gore adopted various policies.

> the 15% who really wanted far left policies can be safely ignored after the primary

The idea is that you wouldn't need to have a "primary" - you could have multiple parties running candidates in the ACTUAL election. The whole reason for the primaries is to get the in-fighting out of the way so you can run a single candidate - because under FPTP anything other than running a single candidate is suicide. With Ranked Choice you could have multiple candidates on the left and right - and people could vote for a first and second choice.

E.g. in 2016 both bernie and hillary could have run. as long as people picked both as part of their ranked choice there would be no negative consequences and people would be free to choose whomever they believed in the most without worrying about their perceived "electability".

Bill is proof that physical comedy is still relevant.
The broad range of issues relating to the fact there were very few retirees 50 years ago that were old ... and who will now make up the 'majority' of people ... this is a huge deal.

Study casts doubt on value of WHO’s “gaming disorder” diagnoses
>>>The FTC alleges that Retina-X and Johns developed three mobile device apps that allowed purchasers to monitor the mobile devices on which they were installed, without the knowledge or permission of the device’s user.

They are being accused of taking no precautions to make sure their app was being used in a legal way (employees and children), as well as violating child privacy laws and deliquent security practices.

To your other point, selling a legal service that can be used in an illegal way often has legal reprecussions, especially when you ignore compliance w/ applicable laws.
I wonder whether these apps are used by police, cool TV FBI agents and the likes, and whether their ability to fight terrorism, drug and human trafficking, etc would get negatively impacted by limiting of those apps.
Europe is very hostile to gene technology in plant breeding. A lot of the technologies developed after the 1970s are banned in plant breeding (while they are allowed in medical industries). European legislation also regards CRISPR editing as GMO, and most GMOs are effectively banned in Europe. In America, GMOs are typically allowed, and in America CRISPS editing is not regarded as GMO.

If you are a plant breeding scientist, you can either work in Europe with your hands tied behind your back, or move somewhere else and innovate more freely.

I am sure there are other equally important reasons, but this is one.

You're not wrong, I don't think. But to the extent that red light cameras have led to a vicious shortening of yellows, with consequent increases in collisions, this may put an end to that. And that I celebrate.
I really like the overlapping underline. Well, really I like the non-broken underline, which happens to overlap with descenders.

If the underline indicating a link breaks, it looks like there are two adjacent links. To check if this is the case, I have to mouseover both the link before and after the break, and compare the URLs with my eyes.

I find this a much greater annoyance then I do the overlapping underlining.

Enriching the oligarchs? Compared to under Bush and Obama when their administrations espoused the notion that "everyone dies if we don't inject massive amounts of money into irresponsible corporations." Everyone enriches oligarchs. Blaming it on one administration or the other misses the larger point that strong central planning is the defining feature of anything done by federal govt nowadays (something that, like I said, we got from the early 20th c).

> I use a third party VPN service to get around the fact that my residence comes with broadband that hijacks all DNS and routes all HTTP (port 80) connections through a Squid...

You could set up a local resolver to NXDOMAIN specific IP address replies. Dnsmasq has an option for this. Regarding Squid, what makes you sure your VPN services doesn't do the same?

> I also feel sharing an IP with many other users adds to the level of anonymity.

Can you explain how you feel this adds anonymity? There is still potentially a record of you using that shared IP at a certain time to do a certain thing, so what is your threat model in which the VPN helps anonymity?
The anime "Haunted Junction" is fun in this regard.

That's nice for drive, but doesn't include any photos/video in photos.google.com.

So basically you have a single google storage pool that's reported at the bottom of the gmail.com interface. But now you can't use any of the google drive related tools to see what is consuming all your storage.

The photos.google.com is time based, so it's very hard to see what your largest files are.
This is equivalent to asking why competing firms don’t simply agree to collude to stop innovating and fix prices, except in this case the colluding parties lose by paying a toll as opposed to reaping monopsony profits.

Given a meaningful incentive to do something within its means, a company will either do that thing or lose business to companies that do.
In your world:

Chef knife :: the app

Chef knife mfg :: the app developer

Murder :: stalking

Cooking :: legal tracking

The law prosecutes app developers and makes illegal apps that allow for stalking. :: The law prosecutes chef knife mfgs and makes illegal chef knifes that can be used for murder.

This is not you have stated. Your example world does not map to the real world, as it is a paradox to think a "murdering chef knife" can be discriminated from a "cooking chef knife" when the manufacturer creates it.

And that is the point of the parent commenter. A tracking app can be used for both legal tracking and stalking, but it is absurd to think the developer will know which it is.
> That all being said, if you are ambitious and talented without an all-consuming passion for software, I highly recommend you find something you can work in hardware. Since the '70s or so most industries have been basically frozen, besides computer hardware/software. Yet in the meantime materials science and engineering design has advanced considerably, both of which form the basis for innovation in new technologies. This is why SpaceX was able to build components for 10-100x cheaper than the leading suppliers in the early 2000s.
