There's nothing wrong with being wrong.

We all regret things we've once said - that's the point of being human.

This has nothing to do with 'getting people to think before they act' - in oppressive regimes with all of the power, it's about control. In open societies with competing ideologies it's a 'nation-sized knife-fight where certain groups are cutting down even their own in the name of antagonizing glory.
My point was not about US involvement in a specific battle but that of Nazi Germany's clear intent to invade the UK, likely only eventually abated by US involvement.

> Not recently for President,

Not ever. The Federalists collapsed before we got a Whig, and the Whigs before we got a Republican, and those and the Democratic (ex-Democratic-Republican) parties are the only four that have won the Presidency.

> but third parties have won at every other level of government including Governors, Representatives, and Senators.

Sure, but its easy to overcount them; state two-party systems (where they haven't been effectively one-party systems) haven't historically always aligned with the national two-party system (e.g., Missouri’s [ed: or, in the real world, Minnesota’s] Farmer-Labor Party was the second (and later first) party in the state for years, alongside the Republicans, before it merged with a local third party—and thereby joined the national Democrats—as the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.

Those are impossible because such questions can't be scientifically asked in the first place.

Like, what does "benefit society" even mean? By what parameter? You can definitely make a scientific conclusion of the order of "religious conservatives really hate it when women work", but... duh? I can agree with that and not care one bit.

Second one, impossible because there's no such thing as race scientifically, in the sense the common person uses that word. You could make such a conclusion about groups with particular genetics, but you can't tell those by eyesight.

Won't the object be destructed though? So while the memory for the object is kept, the memory for the object's heap-allocated members is not. I.e. if you have a 100mb string, after only weak references are left you won't have 100mb memory taken, but only sizeof(string) + sizeof(control block).

Ranked choice does avoid vote-split issues, but is insufficient for breaking a two party system because the races are still single-winner. That we still have primaries makes it worse.

Proportional representation is what is desperately needed to break the two party system.
I do have daily standups toward the end of the day, and I just report the progress for the task at hand so far. I haven't told anyone that this is how I work but I don't bother to cook up the commit dates either.

I see this a lot and I know that there are a lot of factors that contribute to someone's overall success and failure. But there is the saying that "when opportunity knocks hard work is what answers" it just seems to me that working hard at what ever you are doing is always a good thing even if it doesnt guarantee success it seems like laziness always guarantees failure.
> One important factor the article didn't quite emphasise is how this voting system can break up the two party duopoly

I'm not convinced this is true. 2 parties control 80%. 2 coalitions control 95%. I'm also not sure how you can look at America and not recognize that our parties are more similar to coalitions (come on, AOC/Bernie are not the same party as Pelosi/Biden).

A better explanation is that Australia uses a parliament which has proportionate representation. My evidence of this is that other parliaments without IRV have similar party structures as Australia. So we have examples where you remove one aspect and things don't change, I don't think that makes for strong evidence that the thing removed is causing the effect (how can it cause an effect somewhere that it doesn't exist!).

So don't compare Australia vs America to prove IRV creates more parties. Compare Australia/France/UK vs America to prove parliament causes the desired outcome.

IRV has nearly the same effect as FPTP on the two-party system.

Not OP, but there's a difference between having a legitimate and interesting discussion involving unpopular opinions and simply mouthing off at a bar. However, the reaction on the internet today tends to be one and the same for both cases: the online equivalent of being punched in the face. Being attacked publicly can go beyond uncomfortable in many cases (complaints to your work, family, death threats, etc).

The written word used to involve significant barriers that made one consider everything they said. It was also taken as a more formal medium, as it tended to be more permanent. Today, instead, you can express yourself online with next to no effort, and the majority of people write down thoughts as if they were in a verbal conversation, which has a far different permanence to it. I occasionally scroll back through comments I've even made myself on this site and have no recollection of what I was thinking or the comment when I said it. Yet there it is as a permanent record of who I am/was. Given that, I'd rather keep my controversial opinions to myself on social media, as I may not even hold those opinions in the future. I'll use meatspace discussions with friends, colleagues and others I respect to refine them, rather than the 'arena' of public opinion.
Well, that tells me absolutely nothing at all, what with not having that book and not reading much German.

You can do better than that, surely.
CRP normally does shoot up post operatively, and white cell count behaves similarly. Generally if there is a post op problem people know- maybe not a fever but people feel generally unwell. That is a good reason to investigate further. Sometimes for higher risk operations we do routine blood tests as an inpatient, but if people are will enough to go home, it’s reasonable to rely on people not feeling right.
Jeez those are some minor edits. This whole lab leak theory is turning into a major vindication talking point for the right but it's all built on a straw man as far as I can tell. And no one brings up things like hydroxychloroquine any more. Everything is framed as left vs right when it doesn't have to be just to increase polarization and outrage.
Exactly. What about if it was Sanders, Clinton, Kasich, and Trump? As a far left voter, do I have to approve Kasich if I really don't want Trump to win?

In RCV, it's simple: Sanders, Clinton, maybe Kasich to ensure Trump doesn't win. There are 100% problems in IRV that Clinton or Kasich may be the first elimination there, meaning moderates can get screwed even with preference, but it's still way better than Approval IMO. The answer is a better RCV system than IVF, but let's start by getting rid of FPTP. I'd love to see some nuanced RCV methods that combine IRV, Ranked Pairs, Condorcet Winners, etc to basically improve IRV eliminations and take "shortcuts" like steps that consider what % of ballots you're on. Basically, approval voting has its place, but it should be within RCV.

Does it make understanding the tally harder for the layman? Yes. But if designed right, it simplifies the voting end so that people can essentially approval and rank vote together. Rank everyone you approve/would accept, and rank in your true preference order. That's what we should be solving for IMO.
A third party candidate gave America one of the worst presidents ever - Woodrow Wilson was essentially elected on a fluke because Teddy split the vote with Taft - the two together had a strong majority of the overall vote while Wilson only took home 41%.

FPTP systems strongly encourage bipartisan politics but it's silly to say third parties have never won and it's also incorrect. Early American politics were much more diverse before things coalesced around the slavery question leading up to the civil war - after the war there was a brief re-emergence of multi-party politics but it quickly collapsed back down to two as campaigning became less policy driven and new media opened up the door for a lot more fear-based advertising.

I would agree that it's highly unlikely that a third party candidate would ever win in the current political atmosphere - though if the GOP continues to move toward Trump and the Dems shift way to the left we might see a third party fiscal conservative have a real shot at it.

> Achieving immense success requires hard work, dedication, perseverance, and — perhaps most importantly — lots of luck. But oftentimes, luck doesn't get as much credit as it deserves.

I think at this point luck gets far more of a focus than it deserves. It's become a thought-terminating cliche around the entire idea of why people succeed or fail.

Almost no one disputes that luck is a component of people making their fortunes, its caked into the word. (Fortuna, the goddess of luck, gives the word its first definition, the second definition as a large amount of money came later).

There's no 'most importantly' about immense success. No one is an Olympic medalist by accident. No one found their way to the moon by accident. And while luck was involved, no one became an oil tycoon by or started an ISP or laid underseas cables by tripping into it.
Bloomberg let you do philanthropy work during working hours, and they assign you some amount of money depending on the hours you do that you can donate to charity.

I met a few people during such events, which is more or less what you say: you are with people from the company (not necessarily teammates, we did it as a team only once) and you might be helping public parks clean, or take trash from canal on a canoe, or sort food in a food shelter.
It's a nice way to take a break, meet people from other areas, feel good about something you do, and managers have been very supportive of that, and they do it too.

I think that is a good balance of what you are talking about

I can't agree; the number of kilograms is too simplistic a parameter. I'd be more inclined to agree to some more sophisticated division that takes body composition into account. But that is still too simplistic if it is applied the same way in every sport. In some sports, mass is disadvantageous. In some sports, lean mass is advantageous, fat mass isn't. In some, raw mass is advantageous.
That's interesting. I didn't know it's often taught by working professionals. My (wrong) impression of community is that it is a cheap alternative for getting some classes out of the way.
You don't need the n bits of information from each ballot. You can just transmit the aggregate counts. A human can easily put tally marks in each of n buckets. In fact, a computer would likely do the same instead of creating an exponential number of buckets...

If you insist on a degenerate formulation, just split the ballots into n different elections and transmit the results of each one of those elections. We can use the same equipment we have today.

Sure, but no reasonable person can expect to become a billionaire or Jamie Oliver by working hard. Who's surprised by that at all? Hard work is great for getting a comfortable upper-middle class lifestyle with a couple of houses, a boat and the top tax bracket.
I don't see a practical party with closed list, as long as the minimum threshold isn't too low. Don't like the people at the top? Vote for a small party which will join the coalition.

Even more fundamentally, politics is a "team sport". The vetting of individuals when power boils down to alliances and other relations with the politicians is stupid waste of voter's time.

You should be doing both. WCC and neutrophils can also be misleading, and tend to fluctuate. Procalcitonin can be helpful in some situations but isn’t used as often.
This sounds like a bit of a strawman. My impression has been that all things being equal hard work on average gives you a leg up. Not that hard work by itself definitely will deliver success.

If anything, avoiding work by working hard to find ways to automate things and make them less work is what brings more success rather than just putting in 14 hours digging a ditch or hammering in railroad spikes.

Now in pop culture i think hard work is doing the necessary dirty work that pays off in the future. Working a job and taking that money and plowing it into something that will deliver more money for less work. Working hard at a bakery, taking those earnings to start something else that provides returns on other people’s work like a salon owner renting out salon space after years of pouring work into developing a brand or whatever.

It is incorrect to take 27.5 Myr as a prior fixed quantity when there was no prior theoretical reason to expect that period.

> A 2,500 sqft typical suburban US house built after, IDK, 2005, may well not feel bigger than a 1,700 sqft house built with more rooms and more thought to how to best use the space.

It's too bad, because you can have tremendous wow factor in a smaller but very smartly designed space.

But indeed the cheapest form of wow factor is to supersize the house. This is cheap in design expenditure (AKA less "thought" in the design), but not cheap in in the amount of materials used.

In these cases lower quality materials - i.e. non-structural paper-based sheathing, flimsy weather barrier materials, etc - are often used to compensate for the huge size.
There are two controversies here:

(1) Were the first human infections of C19 the result of a random zoonotic outbreak (perhaps from a seafood market), or (alarmingly) from samples mishandled in a laboratory?

(2) Was the origin of C19 "naturally" zoonotic, or (alarmingly) was it in some way the product of laboratory manipulation of an existing bat coronavirus?

I don't know that there's much serious evidence for the alarming case on (2). But there's increasing evidence for the alarming case on (1).

I’m glad you’ve gotten something out of the writings of this Professor of Theology. When I’ve read him in the past I’ve found his lines of reasoning chaotic, his arguments unconvincing, and him to be uninformed about some of the matters he treats at length. But, perhaps more seriously, his comportment is inconsistent with someone who wants to be taken seriously. He often seems to be fighting personal battles against real or imagined enemies, rather than examining ideas. At times he descends into personal insults against people whose opinions he objects to. It’s here, too: look at the swipe against the imagined “village atheist” right off the bat—a phrase obviously intended to evoke the “village idiot”. He’s hard to take seriously for me, or even to tolerate beyond a few paragraphs.
I think that's what the article was trying to relate to when it wrote, "If you’re not prepared when an opportunity comes along, what the hell difference does it make? If you’re not prepared, you won’t be able to capitalize on an opportunity if one happens to come along. But you still have to be lucky to get that opportunity."

> When you get into the top ranks of any profession, there are so many people who are so good that the difference in skill level is almost imperceptible.

I don't think data support this. Talent efficacy is more of a power law distribution than a sigmoid. Simone Biles is not a very marginally better gymnast. Elon Musk is not a modestly more enthusiastic car company CEO. Michael Phelps was not slightly better at swimming.

The differences between the best and the almost-best at extremely high levels of skill is much larger than the differences between modestly talented individuals.
So when Brave use Bing as a third-party and Bing censors a result like tank man, how do you make sure it doesn't change anything at Brave? How does Brave ensure that what is pulled in from a third-party is 100% censorship free?

> The USA is a two-party state because of the voting system. If people could confidently vote for another party there wouldn't be just two parties.

There are plenty of other parties, for example: Libertarian, Green, and Constitution.

In practice, these minor parties (could be) funded by the opposite end of the spectrum to weaken the other side (just a hunch).

But that gets at one possibility of why these minor parties never do better than, say Ross Perot (who got no electoral votes, but sunk Bush41 in 1992): scale.

It takes a whale of a party to carry a pond the size of the US.

And really, the remaining two nominal parties seem wings of a deeper, stateful organization putting on a show every couple of years.
