This wasn't exactly a FPTP situation. First, the presidential election spans over two rounds. Second, about a month later, the legislative elections (two rounds also) were won too
with a proper tsunami (350 out of 577 seats, providing a governing majority).

When he won the presidential election, everybody thought it was no big deal, as he hadn't shown a single viable candidate to staff any of the 577 seats in the parliament, without which he couldn't wield any real structural power. But he used that weakness as a strength. He hired inexperienced people from all regular ways of life, young and shiny. To the voting public, the message was "you wanted neither left nor right ? Here you go, vote for the almost normal people I'm offering you." This turned into a huge strength, as once in office these inexperienced MP simply followed the group leader, who, you guessed it, was a seasoned politician from olden, and made the parliament a transparent corridor for the presidential power for quite some time.

The public pitch was along the "climb over the left/right stalemate and go forward". But the mechanics, besides good ties with the corporate world, were a masterpiece of perfect timing for every action along the campaign, and then for the legislative elections. In those days I was admiring Macron like you would admire a talented enemy general.
Search for a specialized software company helps. Don't go for the standard web bureau building webshops. I used to work in finance, with complicated calculation software, and at the moment I work at a bio-informatics scale-up. Very interesting field, and no average developers here.
While Macron did indeed win the second round of voting in a landslide, I think that had more to do with an overwhelming rejection of the social-nativism of the National Front. In the first round of voting, it was striking how evenly split four of the candidates were. This is particularly interesting because (as a general political rule) as the margins between candidates decrease, tactical voting tends to correspondingly increase. This is why you very rarely see four-way (or more) splits in voting, and means voters must have been especially divided along multiple axes (i.e. not just "left" and "right"!). Macron was really the candidate of the "internationalist right" - a supporter of global institutions who opposed redistribution (see his abolition of the ISF - the wealth tax).

Let the observed data do the work and remove the guessing by use pairs / trebbles etc. of past events in your simulation.
It's also almost the tagline Rita Verdonk used to use: "Niet links, niet rechts, maar rechtdoorzee" ("not left, not right, but straightforward").

This was when she started her own party after being sidelined by the party of the current prime minister of the Netherlands, after getting more votes than he did. Her party failed miserably, and ten years later he's still prime minister.

Which is to say: success doesn't just come from the tagline, I suppose.

Also worth noting is the fact that when your body stores glycogen, it does so by binding it to water molecules in a ratio of 1g glycogen : 4g water (iirc). So increasing your carbohydrate intake also increases the amount of water you retain.

Transitioning to a lower carb intake and utilising some of that stored glycogen releases the water molecules and increases the amount of circulating water molecules in your system, some of which will be excreted.

So yeah, you should notice an increase in urination when transitioning to a lower carb / keto style diet.

I like this punchy summary, it's been in the back of my head in a more wordy fashion for a long time now when it comes to hiring. I used to do technical interviews (nowhere near the scale and diligence of the big players though), and I tended to gloss over a lot of details, that is, there wasn't so much a "scoring checklist", instead I looked for traits like curiosity and enthusiasm. Our technical assessment included working with XML and JSON; early on (early-to-mid 2010's) a lot of people said "I've never worked with JSON before", later on it was "I've never worked with XML before".

Some just gave up before finishing the assignment and didn't show up to the interview at all.

I think the most interesting hire we did from our technical interviews was someone who solved in a modern version of J2EE, years after Spring had become the 'de facto' standard as a response to J2EE itself. But Spring became that thing it swore to destroy, and the J2EE solution looked pretty elegant.

> Ranked choice seems to be the best one I've read about.

IRV (sometimes called “ranked choice”, but its among the worst of the ranked choice single-member methods) can be improved by getting rid of the loser elimination step, and counting down on all ballots (instead of those with an eliminated loser) until some candidate had a total that crosses the winning threshold (this is a version of Bucklin, but historical Bucklin implementations have often done dumb things like limiting the number of preference ranks to a much smaller number than candidates (often 2-3) rather than using fully-ranked (forced preference or unforced preference) ballots.

But, other than things like unique executive offices, single-member elections should be avoided. Legislative elections with small multimember districts (say 5 members) with a system like STV (or a Bucklinish cousin, again without loser elimination) gets decent proportionality, the candidate accountability of single-member districts (but more, because parties are likely to run more candidates than they'll win seats, so there os general election accountability even within preferred parties) and avoids high-stakes districting (eliminating gerrymandering opportunities.)

Even executive offices with a designated successor (e.g., governor and lt. governor) can be made multiwinner (sequential rather than proportional) using a ranked ballots method with a normal single-winner majority threshold: once the first winner is selected, eliminate that candidate and recount the ballots (for some methods, this can simply be continue the count till the next winner crosses the threshold with the same effect) to select the winner of the successor office. This improves candidate accountability when one party is clearly preferred, because a disfavored incumbent can be demoted without abandoning the preferred party.
MMP is way better than FPP, however the NZ version with list MPs is undesirable in my opinion, because the party gets to choose candidates who get zero votes and then get into parliament. To remove someone you have to vote out the party.

To explain: in NZ MMP, the party creates a list of candidates, and if the party is voted for, people from the list become members of parliament. NZ also has 60 out of 120 seats allocated by voting in an electorate, but even someone that doesn’t win their electorate can still become an MP if they are sufficiently high on the party list. https://elections.nz/democracy-in-nz/what-is-new-zealands-sy...

> Sure, but what if Facebook’s views align with yours?

I don't think Facebook's "views" are different from Facebook's profit motivations. An employee's views could certainly align with those, but it would be for financial reasons.

There is no other consistent, underlying ideology at that company (or most others).

> I think the question that people forget to ask is: what if Facebook disappeared tomorrow, will all our problems be solved?

That's irrelevant to an employee's decision.

If I decline to contribute to a govt surveillance program, will it still exist? Probably. But if I refuse to work on it, I can at least align my behavior with my morals, and (if I'm lucky) I will also harm the overall effort.

No one is saying an individual employee can kill Facebook by refusing to work there. I'm just saying that if an employee (a highly skilled one, anyway) is even a little bit uncomfortable with Zuckerberg's ethics, they can:

- work somewhere else

- make as much money

- enjoy their job just as much

- not have to exist in an ethically gray area at work
That's not entirely correct. Macron got 24.01% in the first round, 66.1% in the second. Le Pen, the far right candidate, got 21.3% in the first and 33.9% in the second. The runner-up in the first round was Fillon, a coservative, with 20.01% in round one. There was the fear Le Pen would win the second round, sure. One thing about the French system is, that usually the second round is not won by a radical candidate as those usually fail to get enough votes from the other parties and candidates not qualifying for round 2. We'll see how that plays out next year so. Not sure how the French system wouldn't fit the current political landscape.
Are you suggesting that MBA programmes are a factory with known inputs and outputs? Probably a fair critique
Not exactly sure what to make of this, conceptually it just sounds like 90s era Clintonite/Thatcherite consensus with some ranked voting and other stuff thrown in. The reason why the US is polarized (and most other places to a slightly lesser degree) is because that quadrant of the political spectrum is dead[1], and people have overall grown tired of this liberal (in a broad sense of the term) anti-politics which aims to disguise managerialism and technocratic government as 'non-ideological'.

Though unfortunately especially on Android some vendors are overly aggressive in signalling memory pressure, so while the API might be easier to use, the practical result still isn't really good, either, because now instead tabs get unloaded too often. (And the move to multi-process on Android has the unfortunate side-effect that a too-aggressive system OOM killer can now pick out individual content processes and randomly kill tabs without regards to any priority as to which tabs should be unloaded first.)
Actually, that's how many marginalized people see current society: a bunch of content zombies and a silenced minority lol
> which combines proportional representation in a 1st round

No it doesn't.

The french parliament is elected in 577 single member constituencies by a 2 round system: in the 1st round, voters vote for any candidate.

If no candidate wins >50% of all the votes in that constituency, a 2nd round is held, where candidates that came 1st or 2nd or got >12.5% of the vote, in the 1st round, can run.

Thus the French 2 round system is similar to Instant Runoff Voting, except that it isn't instant.

As an example of how the French system isn't proportional, En Marche got 32% of 1st-round votes but 61% of seats.

> for the powerful presidency

Presidential elections, like any other election that elects 1 candidate cannot in principle be proportional, because each party must either win 100% or 0% of the candidates elected.

> When it became clear that the far-right would be the largest single party

No, the National Front only got 13.2% of 1st round votes (and only ended up winning 8 seats, 1.4% of the total). They were nowhere near being the biggest party.

I think this is slightly incorrect: The Israel state does not regulate marriages, it leaves them to religious courts, which in turn make them impossible.

The end result is similar, but the state _will_ recognize a marriage performed abroad (i.e. go to Cyprus, get married, come back), same as same-sex unions.

(I am somewhat confused as to why a christian catholic court won't celebrate an interfaith marriage in Israel, since they are allowed by the church, and there are even specific protocols for jewish/catholic and muslim/catholic marriages, AFAIK)

Is it? "Economically middle in the road" is somewhat around classic Social Democrat politics, a staple of European politics. The problem with the classic European Social Democrat parties is that they shot themselves in their feet by a combination of neoliberalism (e.g. German SPD post-2005/Hartz IV or British Labour) and individual scandals (corruption).

I think that code example depends on the type system. In elm, the compiler forces you to handle both cases if you return a Maybe. In Java everything can be null and blow up which is bad. In Kotlin you have to handle the possible null, but it's a bit brittle when calling into Java code.

But yeah, better to fail fast. That's why I want tools to catch stuff as I write the code, not when I run it, as I cannot run all cases so then it won't hit until prod.

> It's pretty obvious where the weakest link is.

It isn't, considering how little information I've given you. The weakness of links depend on the threats we model and how we protect the links against such threats. You're lacking a lot of information to evaluate the weakness of links in these contexts.

> Also this is pretty inherently contrary to the design of FIDO, because it privileges these private keys as special whereas in FIDO they're random and you can just mint more of them (in FIDO1 it's completely normal to make huge numbers of keys, since you aren't storing them anyway).

I've read a bit on that, on how it makes a new key-pair per device-service-user combination. I honestly can't tell if that's an advantage or disadvantage. It at least seems like a disadvantage to have to hold both main key and backup key on new registrations to make sure you don't lose access when you lose a key. Besides being inconvenient, it seems to mean that the backup key has similar chances to being lost as the main key. In contrast, with OpenPGP, you can even store the backup key in a separate location like a safety deposit box and generally forget about it until you need it.

> It is true that OpenPGP is much better if you were obliged to do RSA for compatibility reasons, but I think we'd all like to move away from that world even if some of us can't yet.

Regarding RSA, I agree. OpenPGP isn't limited to RSA though and has more uses than just direct authentication.

Canada has a different political culture, and changing that is even harder than changing a political system. The only reason the Liberals and the NDP continue to exist as separate organizations[1] is because the Tories can't get more than a third of the vote in any particular riding, so the Lib/NDP leadership can continue to be big fish in their own ponds. If the CPC enjoyed the voter turnout that either of the major US parties enjoyed, Canada would either be a two-party system (as the Libs and NDP would merge, if they ever wanted to win a single seat ever again) with a regional spoiler (BQ) that ensured minority governments, or would be permanently ruled by the Tories.

[1] Their politics couldn't be more similar. Look at how provincial NDP parties govern, and tell me how it differs from the Federal Liberals. (It doesn't.)
