Ranked choice voting does not throw away the fourth candidate, assuming people are voting for the secular person as 2nd in your example.
Effects of cat ownership on the gut microbiota of owners
I would say I get that impression from the continued strong support for the former president, who is arguably still the leader of the party, and his insistence that the election was stolen.

That just seems like bad luck -- if your phone is even somewhat popular, there's going to be a XDA forum dedicated to it. I used to have a LG L90, a low-end phone bought for ~€120 that was by no means "flagship hardware". The phone shipped with Android 4.2, which was then OTA-updated to Android 5. Thanks to Cyanogenmod and later LineageOS, I managed to install Android 6, 7, and 8 as they came out, and only stopped using the phone after it physically broke down.

Ulefone doesn't seem to be that popular -- it's not even listed among phone brands on the XDA forums (https://forum.xda-developers.com/all-forums-by-manufacturer). If you want to have a €100 phone with LineageOS support, you definitely can (and do note that the LineageOS website lists only the "officially" supported models, not the community ports).
I moved from a place with a great dishwasher to one with not only a cheap one but also an OLD one. If I leave something bigger than 1/4in on the plate, it’s getting stuck in its drain until I wipe it out. It sucks hard.

Newer dishwashers can handle dirty plates no problem, cheese or no cheese and are much more efficient.

If this dishwasher had been my first experience I would’ve thought the same as you
Do not bear false witness vs don’t lie is a classic one.
One is an item in the set of all lies, the other is the entire set of lies.
Yeah, that article is exactly what I was thinking about, but I think it would be better if it mentioned more general tactics (such as the inherent advantage of making sure to rank front runners since they will last longer).

Once this NYC election is over we should look at the voting records and see how many votes were lost due to poor tactics (forgetting to rank front runners).
NYC is an interesting example to use here because city and state politics are almost wholly dominated by one party. Instead of general elections being a Republican vs Democrat contest, you (in general) see elections around here being decided in Democratic primaries, along a spectrum that is generally far-left to center-right.

The presumed next mayor of NYC is going to be decided within the democratic party primaries today (or over the coming weeks as rounds of RCV progress), not in the general election later in the year. There's still a major spread of ideologies involved, but they're clustered within one party - which seems to have a lot of people thinking tactically about their votes, instead of just going straight-up party line.
US takes down Iran-linked news sites, alleges disinformation
In the Good Soldier Sveijk, Hasek recounts (via a character) that famous, if apocryphal tale of the French commander Pierre Cambronne, who when asked to surrender, supposedly said "Merde! The guard dies, but does not yield!".

I think Victor Hugo made this up, but it's still a good story.
This is such an odd position. Completely seriously with no /s or irony whatsoever, why should you even try? There is no inherent piousness in hard work. I don't believe for a second that my success has anything to do with hard work. I fell into a career field that pays well and I got my opportunity by being raised by white middle-class parents. I work less hard than all of my peers while making more than them because mysterious market forces completely beyond my control. In a parallel universe the financial situations would be reversed with no change to our jobs except I would be labeled lazy.
The biggest argument I've heard in favor of TLs (or shudder architects) is that it keeps a company from hemorhaging technical experts who have little interest in people managing.

When it's done right, it seems to work well.

People who are interested in managing people become managers.

People who are interested in deepening technical expertise become TLs.

I think the often unvoiced key expectation that needs to be set that TL skillsets include (a) evangelism, (b) consensus building, & (c) flexibility.

I.e. If you're an unrepentant asshole who can't work with your colleagues and "lose" decisions in a graceful way that leaves everyone feeling okay, the company probably shouldn't make you an architect.
Given you phrased this "for my company IT or devops or whatnot" I'm going to guess you have very little if any input into who gets hired into those positions, or at least shouldn't if you yourself don't know what the terminology for them should be.

Secondly taking shots at people like this does not encourage people to share learnable lessons like this - instead it encourages them to hide it away. Again if you are person in management you'd think you'd know better than to encourage people to hide mistakes instead of owning them and learning from them.

Finally - you do realize this is a kid right? Not some seasoned professional?
Why do you push IRV rather than simpler methods with higher VSE like Approval or STAR? Shouldn't we be highly advocating for a system that does not fail the favorite betrayer criterion? And I think Arizona is the perfect example why transparency and low complexity is essential (higher VSE is an added bonus given these).
But as I mentioned in my opening post, propaganda generally requires intent to manipulate. So you are not only recognizing techniques, you are assuming intentionality and motive for usage of those techniques. That is the part I don't buy.
No, the area numbers quoted are for TSMC N7. You can look up comparable A75 die area numbers for N7 as well. A Cortex A76 on TSMC N7 takes up 1.27mm with L2 included. A P550 takes up 0.38mm.
No, that's not the issue here. There are various texts for the letter going back to the 1800s. The issue is that there is no record of the letter between 1676 and the 1800s, causing some Redditors to believe it was a fabrication of that time.
Yeah, I'm a big fan of approval voting, the amount of tactical voting is much less compared to most other voting systems (including Plurality and Ranked Choice). In particular a big flaw of Ranked Choice Voting is the center squeeze effect. This site has a good overview of it: https://electionscience.org/library/the-center-squeeze-effec...
I picked up a paper 2nd edition of "Understanding the Linux Kernel" from the free shelf at my local library. It spends about half of the book discussing the 32-bit x86 architecture... The other half is data structures. Very nice index of every system call discussed.

While ten year old computer books are considered obsolete, systems architecture books may actually be better at documenting the motivation behind design decisions.

So if you happen upon this discussion thread, you might find it useful.

This policy was necessary to avoid mass evictions, which would have required the state to spend even more in social services for those evicted. So taxpayers ultimately save money.

Also, seems like this is largely being paid for with pandemic-related federal aid money, which I think had restrictions on how it can be used, unlike tax revenue.
So, if I write:

int x;
auto y = x;

do you expect y to be a reference? Surely not.

No, my friend, auto is for values, not references. You want a reference - you have to say so.

(And same goes for rvalue references - auto&& .)
Right, but you can argue ranking N items takes more thought thank picking 1. I like the "interoperable" way, just making choices 2 and onward optional.
Where did you get the idea 'global' from?
Have you seen Peer DIDs? Most specifications advise you to create limited purpose identities. Use a widely known one when it suits you, like a LinkedIn profile, or Twitter page.
That's true - but approaches that identify those best compromises get mathematically more and more complex as the system gains fidelity.

We shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. If a place wants to implement another voting system, I'd be interested to see how it plays out, and if the voters see the winner with legitimacy.

IRV is relatively simple and candidates in NY are still attacking it because of the complexity it has over FPTP.
V8 is a JIT compiler
Just asked last week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27514005
I've been voting RCV and I've yet to see this actually occur in practice. The candidates who are marketing themselves so well that they are second on almost everyone's ballot (in a 13 person race!) are generally FIRST on a fair number (relative to all 13 folks).
Keeping state across and putting collab first is something native apps can do as well. You don't need a web interface to do that.

I do however agree about the positive cross-platform support. From my experience, which is very limited - it is the decades of backward compat and complexity that makes native development so tiresome. It gets even worse when there are multiple platforms with not much in common.

Thanks, I'll check out Urbit.

And? How many non-Chrome browsers do we have? Even Microsoft gave in to Chromium. Can't wait for Google's next move to tie their protocols deeper into the browser just like they did with Android and playstore services.

This was another eye opener to me, how limited high quality developers are.
So, where's the link to the album?
>Twitter is the public square more than it a news source

~20% of Americans use twitter. (https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/04/10/share-of-u-...)

There's definitely some influence there, but the twitter's importance and impact on the world is severely overhyped.
His point is that if few rank the fourth candidate first, they will be the first eliminated in the runoff process.
I do the same. I write tweets, or facebook notes to family or friends -- argumentative or loving. Or hacker news comments, or blog posts, or whatever. I often spend a surprising amount of time in editing, re-reading, and honing them out.

Then, I tap `CTRL+A, delete, CTRL+W`.

I have an old draft post where I mused about a coworker's hamfisted and awkward attempts to magnify the voices of those around him whom he felt were under-represented. He, a cisgender cissexual 30s-ish white tech guy, would often single out visible-minority individuals and then loudly try to cajole them into giving opinions on topics he felt they should have opinions about, or whenever he felt they were being unheard. It was surely coming from a good place, but without fail, it made his targets and everyone else uncomfortable. It was interesting, so I wrote about it.

Then I didn't post it, because I really don't know if my own take as another 30s-ish blah blah white tech guy on some hamfisted attempt to be an ally would ring true or read well at the time. Or especially years later. But I wrote it and then stashed it. Part of that 'chilling effect,' right?

But, I also wrote a big 'intro to contributing to open source' post, which I felt was too long and rambling, maybe had its own share of bad takes, and I honestly worry that I'm not qualified to post it. I'm just some guy! So I stashed that, too.

Was I self-censoring in the most dangerous way in the first instance, but not in the second? What brings about the distinction? I felt in both cases that the post might reflect poorly on me, so I didn't post it.

Snowden's post reads to me a bit like a writer's writing about having writer's block. I imagine him sitting down to write something, because he has this big new writing project he has to do, the newsletter. He comes up with 10 ideas, but then in thinking about really seriously grappling with each of them, he crosses each one out. Who is he, after all? Just some guy! He did a great thing that one time, that doesn't make him an expert on every info-sec/cultural/political topic du-jour.

So... what's left? Well, he can write about what he's going though! And 'how bad it is to censor yourself' is a pretty unique and elevated take on writing about 'how hard it is to figure out what to write', so, voila.

(And I'd love to just delete this rather than post it.)
What would you say to someone like me who feels that IRV is perhaps the worst possible alternative voting system to advocate for? It feels like someone at some stage must be very dishonest, or otherwise dangerously uninformed, to think that IRV is worth advocating for over alternatives like approval voting, range voting, or any Condorcet voting system. I'm very worried that most places will have the political will to improve the voting system only once in a century and we'll have wasted it on a system that's unusually ill-behaved. I'm particularly concerned about IRV's non-monotonicity, whereby it's possible to hurt a candidate by ranking them higher, and likewise it's possible to help a candidate by ranking them lower. How can anyone feel they're voting honestly in an honest election when this is the case?
In addition to other answers, sometimes you do know the final/max length of the vector when you construct it. In that case reserve() can reserve the necessary space, and as long as you stay under the limit all the addresses will remain valid.

Telling somebody to sit down and shut up is an exercise of free speech.
ummm, not sure how you define "VERY", but Year To Date, it looks like the low was $649.90 on 12-Jan-2021, and last Friday it was $897.90. [1]

That's 38% over the low this year, which was in the peak of a global pandemic. Not so huge

A full year ago, again in the middle of the global pandemic, it was $431, so we're double that. Not the slightest bit surprising, and the chart overall looks like a big bubble blip since earlier in the year.

I don't see how we can interpret that price series as indicating sustained inflation, when we have a clearly unusual and impermanent demand pull and simultaneous supply ramp-up delay.

Why not try Neeva? They are going the route of a paid search engine.

They talk about both, "traditional links" are not instant answers: "We also of course have more traditional links in the search results, which we also source from multiple partners, though most commonly from Bing (and none from Google)."

I disagree on your definition of "basically identical". Google and Bing results (in a private window) are more similar to me than DDG and Google:

DDG has more "monkey" definitions than both Google and Bing, all have Wikipedia, all have cool.monkey (in different ways), Bing + Google have monkey.exchange and surveymonkey, the video's the same on Google and Bing, all of them have some unique links (such as monkey.vision and monkeyworlds.com)

Also two of the results ("Mokey's Show" youtube video and 2pchat.monkey.cool) are not on the first 10 pages of Bing's results, if at all.

NY primaries are closed, but themselves now use RCV, and have much higher turnout than that, since they are usually the de facto general election.
That's incorrect. DID make use of pubkey cryptography to create a new identifier for every entity one operates with... this argument is based on imagination
Iterators are historically a generalization of pointers. A pointer is a kind of iterator.

I mean, literally. The iterator of an std::vector<T> (not a bool vector) is a T*.
I think my intuition means quite a bit as young kids use a lot of screen time.

I’m not sure why discussing facts wild count as finger wagging. I’ve patented and continue to parent a bunch of kids and understand how hard it is, although everyone’s experience is different.

The scientific literature is pretty settled that even “educational” games are counterproductive. [0] The American Academy of Pediatricians discourages all screentime, except for video chat, for kids under two years.

The problems with me, or you, giving a screen for twenty minutes is called out in the article I linked.

It’s not the end of the world, but it’s a negative contributor to many factors including obesity, anxiety, sleepnessless, violence.

It’s also funny that you assume I and others aren’t parents and can somehow know my situation.

I’m not criticizing you and I’m sure you and your wife deserve to have a conversation. I was just bringing up how the study should have looked at confounding variables like screen usage that could partially explain what’s going on.

> it's very possible that none of your rankings matter and have no influence on the outcome if you don't pick one of the top two candidates as your first choice.

I'm not sure what you're describing. As long as one of the top two candidates appear on your ballot (at any rank) then you have influenced the last round of voting.
What's wrong with being idealistic? At least it aspires people to work towards the ideal. The statement I said is scientifically correct, the world is not inherently overpopulated. People like you with anti-science attitudes spread the popular but false narrative that the world is overpopulated and the only solution to climate change is shrinking the human population. This steers people in the wrong direction and slows down actual progress in solving climate change.
And they did! At least in California, that's the news here. Overleveraged people got a lesson but will be made whole it seems. And every houseowner massively profited from house prices appreciation. What more can you ask for? Have your cake and eat it too.
You’d think so, but based on the output of some economists it seems like this is not the case.
I totally agree. I don’t understand what isn’t clear about this. The rules completely changed against the landlord. They got completely hosed by this.
that iss respectable.
You can also use an offset instead of a pointer (or a pointer to the object and and an offset into its heap storage, or whatever).
>you often limit yourself to the incumbents

A voting system where you're limited to only voting for the incumbent is indeed very simple (although not very democractic)... I assume you meant "limit yourself to the frontrunners". :)

In an election where there's exactly two candidates, RCV (or most other alternative voting systems) is the same as simple majority. You're right that with exactly two candidates, tactical voting isn't a concern, and simple majority voting is the simplest and best system. But many elections do not have exactly two candidates - primaries being the most salient example.

With RCV/alternative voting systems, you don't need to know who's popular or "electable" or any of that. You can just go with your most naive, direct take on the candidates.

Say you like two candidates A and B, but most of all you want to make sure candidate Z loses. Just rank A and B first, then everyone else equally, then candidate Z. You don't have to think about who is most likely to beat Z - you don't even have to follow the election at all.
Had to google it, but he delivered.
The question is who is the mob. I fear the crazies much more who stormed the capital and tried to overthrow our democracy than some online SJWs who are going to try and cancel someone for having an unpopular opinion.

Not that either are great, for instance I didn't find Damore's opinions outlandish although expressed poorly.
Holy cow! That was super interesting and engaging!

In three decades' use of C++, of all generations going back to original cfront, I have never encountered any difficulty, confusion, or actual problem arising from this phenomenon. It is a favorite of language lawyers and people borrowing trouble.
No, you're not understanding anything I wrote.

The "if" is "if the US claims they are real", as in, the military claims specifically the most plausible explanation of the evidence to them is that these objects are physical, solid objects, not illusions or artifacts.

Something real in this sense but unexplainable and not originating from humans does not mean space aliens. Just like it doesn't mean leprechauns or unicorns. Where'd "aliens" come from? The answer "I don't know, but we can rule out humans" is an insane possibility, but is one which seems both increasingly likely to be the truth and also much less insane than "it's aliens."
Your example is an interesting one. I wonder if majority of people make up a belief first and then follow a church that reaffirms their (already made up) belief or they follow a church first and let the church shape their beliefs?

you could try out some classes at the local community college.

Last company I was at did a reorg which switched from product to functional based orgs (I guess) ... and I went from 4 managers to the CEO, to like an almost incomprehensible web of directors. Then a manager was added to my team which sent us a level down even further. This was ostensibly done to 'streamline' the orgs which seems deeply hilarious
Why Success is more Luck than Hard Work
You think the answer to the headline is "no"?
I agree and I’m not passing judgement on the parents, more of remarking on what’s occurring and that it contributes to negative outcomes.

It’s hard being a parent and dealing with the stresses it brings. Although I think that I and most of my social circles are pretty well off and we plugged our kids in front of iPads.
