Ranked choice voting should be the standard.

Some point to Alaska's special election as a failure of some sort. It isn't. A large number of Republican voters simply put only one choice. Had they ranked Palin as #2 (assuming this was their preference) she would've won by a significant margin.

Now whether they didn't understand the system or they really didn't want Palin as a second choice we can only speculate about.

The rules for any election should be strictly interpreted. Trying to divine the intent of the voter (as happened in Florida in 2000) is a subjective and really dangerous standard to use. If something could be better or clearer you fix it in the next election. You don't try and ret con it into the election just run.

The first past the post ("FPTP") system used in the majority of American elections is just horrible. Spoiler candidates are a real problem (eg [1]).

The only issue with the Alaska system is one of education. That can take some time but it'll be worth it. I'm glad Alaska is being transparent about the results by publishing this.

We certainly don't need to make the voting system even more complicated as some other commenters suggest.

>> The perception of fairness is the most important thing.

And yet, we add a single level of quantization (the electoral college) and half the country loses their mind whenever the "majority vote" candidate doesn't win. Maybe something a little more complicated would be good ;-)

A few years ago, as someone who has worked on physics engines for robotics simulations, I would have agreed with you. But now a lot of people are doing greenfield physics engines for games and having it work out pretty well. There's a ton of established academic and conference literature in the area now and it's not nearly as scary as it used to be.

For example, Horizon: Forbidden West uses a custom physics engine that started out as one of the core dev's fun side projects: https://github.com/jrouwe/JoltPhysics

Physics engines (at least game quality physics engines) are starting to drift in to "solved problem" territory and there's enough literature now that you can get something reasonable going yourself after doing some weekend reading.

Edit to add: Godot has had its own engine available for a long time, so it's not a totally new effort. It's a heavy refactor and a large improvement but the bones for this were laid years ago so some of that technical debt you're describing has already been paid down.
There is a difference if it is your own vs corporate hardware: MDM can enable wifi remotely, then do a location scan against wifi networks nearby (ostensibly this is for theft purposes)

...maybe the people who design trains and run expensive modeling on them understand the actual design constraints better than you do?

Might be better to honestly ask why rather than starting by trying to insinuate that the people who designed this are idiots or did it only for PR.
Tall stuff impedes vision. The gental slope around tends to be accommodating for tractor trailers. Short stuff, even just a regular curb inside of the sloped area should be enough to stop cars from driving through it. Some short flowers or plants can help draw attention.

In addition to not being fully effective and implicitly labeling[0] participants as untrustworthy, a system that forces everyone to play by the rules without removing the factors that make people abuse the system in the first place only makes the abuse more attractive, consequential and inevitable. The most attractive position in such a reality would of course be the position of those who set the rules (I suspect the field in question is bustling in part because many see themselves within that elite, if only they could make this future come true)—and, of course, the rule-setters are never immune to the motivation for abuse either (only they may get away without it being labeled as such).

On the other hand, if those factors are addressed, an intricate system of verifications and hash checks is just unnecessary friction and a source of added complexity to maintain.

I reckon they're thinking long term here though, if they don't change it now then likely the only time they could change it is when a theoretical Godot 5.0 comes out in who knows how many years.

It sounds like it's got bugs that need fixing either way, so at least for their own engine they're not reliant on anyone else to get those fixes out (or have to use hacky workarounds as would most likely be the actual fix).
I think the best solution here, is add a payments orchestration solution to your stack.

There are others, I know of this spanish startup integrating with stripe.

In this way,you can have both your bank TPV/ Payments and Stripe working alongside, if any fails just put the other, or the one giving better prices by default, etc

"A return to pre-1975 immigration policy" is a poor argument for if something is radical or not.

In 1975, Sweden did not allow same-sex marriage. It does now. I believe a repeal of same-sex marriage and forced dissolution of existing marriages would be a radical move in modern Sweden.

The Abortion Act of 1974 "states that up until the end of the eighteenth week of the pregnancy, the choice of an abortion is entirely up to the woman, for any reason whatsoever". A return to the pre-1974 abortion policy (only "serious medical consideration" and "social medicinal grounds") would be a radical change, yes? (Quoting Wikipedia.)

> an indigenous people

In 1976 the the Swedish Parliament recognized the Sami as an indigenous population that had been in Sweden as long as or longer than the majority population.

I believe a return to the pre-1975 laws regarding the Sami people (and lack of protections thereof) would also be considered radical in modern Sweden.

Am I wrong?

How does "Keep Sweden Swedish" affect the Sami? Are the Sami Swedish?

For that matter, are you using the term "indigenous" correctly?

From what I can tell, the Swedish government doesn't consider the majority population as an indigenous people. Google Translate of https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursprungsfolk says:

] In the Swedish report "The Sami: an indigenous people in Sweden", indigenous people are defined as "people who are descended from ethnic groups that lived in the country at the time of the establishment of the current state borders and who have fully or partially retained their social, economic, cultural and political institutions"[3]

That definition would mean the Swedish majority population are not indigenous.
Glad to hear it!

If you're the type of person who poured capital into mining hardware and you own it, which you likely do because it's more cost effective, you still have all that hardware sitting around. You're going to repurpose it to other mining endeavors or quickly find a way to try and eek more money out of if, because you were already that type of person.

I don't keep up with crypto and mining but until it becomes unprofitable or you can't pull money for and start operating in the red, you're going to continue consuming similar power.

I find the whole Latino/Latinx switch attempt especially shortsighted, because it is commonly just used as a catch-all term for "person from Central/South America".

But, there are millions of native people from those places who don't view themselves as Latino, and, if anything, see the Latins as invaders/colonizers/oppressors. For example, if you're a K’iche’ speaker from Guatemala, you may not even speak Spanish, and you probably don't self identify as "Latino".
Yes, and you replied "Nice excuse. But just wholly untrue."

I just provided thousands of examples where it is true. To offset all that evidence can you provide, say, millions of examples where zero (your phrase) use-after-free bugs have been found?

>You reveal that you never had any intention of engaging honestly.

Honest engaging would be for you to provide evidence for a claim you made when asked. I provided extremely solid counter evidence from the result of many, many research teams.

So, care to honestly engage about your claim?

FWIW, there was a story about this sort of issue on national radio (in the US) a few weeks ago. The gist of it was "I can't rely on Stripe for my payment system because they vanish too much for too long."

The businesses were very not shady, and nowhere near morally controversial.

My impression from that piece and these stories is that Stripe is having some technical problems and it's wreaking havoc everywhere.
> The bitcoin network keeps getting more energy efficient because of the relentless improvement in the semiconductors (SHA-256 ASICs) that power the bitcoin mining centers, combined with the halving of bitcoin mining rewards every four years that is built into the protocol. This results in a consistent 18-36% improvement year after year in energy efficiency.

Energy efficiency is of no benefit to the environment since hash power just grows correspondingly to maintain the same energy expenditures...

> The only proven technique for creating a digital commodity is Proof of Work (bitcoin mining) deployed in a fair, equitable fashion

Halvings make it far from equitable, with early miners enjoying exponentially higher rewards than later miners.

> meaning there is some local in the foreign country your current employee is in who could also probably do the job but for a fraction of the amount of money.

This sounds like the same tale we heard in the 90's, that software would be offshored to Asia and there would be a handful of people writing specs and overseeing work and not much more.

As the saying goes 'you get what you pay for'.

If you have talented people anywhere in the world, they have either already emmigrated to higher paying markets or are contracting locally at absolutely fair prices in an international market.

The sort of scenario you describe would have been true with information assymetry. However in the connected world of today if you think that someone is talented enough to be an effective asset but naive enough to not know their rate in an international market you are in for a surprise.

I may be wrong but I think finding a person for micro consulting should be quite easy even now.

And for LUA issue and why I think it's easy thing to do.
I found at least few solutions for running Lua VM in a browser with emscripten. I read about running ffmpeg in browser.

It's all about changing some configuration and compiling the code to be used with web assembly. The solution for what I need is a single command. But knowing nothing about c++ I find it hard to compile lua compiler instead of lua VM. And because I need several versions of lua - fengari is not an option, but it's sure an interesting project I may use somewhere else.
This is a reassuring article. I had started to feel like I was losing eyesight because some "themes" are so hard to read, especially those dark themes using the annoying shade of blue. This is especially true for Emacs users. There are so many themes available for Emacs that finding the good ones can be difficult.

My advice with respect to Emacs themes, the built in themes are quite good and especially the modus themes (and also the package ef-themes) both by Protesilaos Stavrou.

> Why does the fucking payment processor get to dictate whether I can run a defense ordnance company or run a scientific chemical supplies store?

Because they have the legal right to do so? They could ban companies run by redheads, if they like. As long as they're not discriminating based on very specific sets of criteria established by law, they get to choose who they do business with.

The government requiring private citizenry to associate with everyone who wishes to associate with them seems like a very dark path to go down.
Ouch, yeah. My team is losing a truly excellent engineer because he moved home to the UK during the pandemic, and corporate eventually noticed and said he could either 1. switch to our UK unit and work on their projects at their pay scale, or 2. leave the company.

He's leaving to work for a friend's startup and I hope he gets rich.

The thing is, in the wider cacophony of human civilization, Ethereum and cryptocurrencies also don't exist.

If I and my grandma and everyone's grandma would use Proof of Work cryptocurrencies to buy peanuts at the supermarket, PoW energy usage would probably rival that of China.

I forgot to mention that I only use solar energy from our roof. I updated my comment. Wrote the initial comment in a rush. Sorry for that.

So no, I only use overproduction to mine and only a fraction of it. Everything else goes back into the grid.

> I live near Carmel, Indiana, the roundabout capital of the US. Small ones, large ones, figure 8's, figure... double-peanut-looking things with elevated crossovers near interstate junctions. They work well and keep traffic moving.
But there is a learning curve. Every new roundabout causes a significant jump in crashes for a short time. Though, those crashes tend to be "glancing blows" that cause less serious injuries due to the angle of attack imposes by the roundabout.

I have a reason to visit Indiana now! Cool. I wonder how I can sell the family on a trip to Carmel or similar city :).

The town I grew up started adopting roundabouts as I started driving. They're awesome and so much faster than red lights! They annoy my older relatives and coworkers as well.
You’re still dodging the original question: how do I get both ETH types onto an exchange?

Your answer tells me how to move both chains’ wallets to another wallet, and that I shouldn’t bother with the PoW chain, or just pray it doesn’t get replayed. I already knew that option coming in, and said as much!

To be clear, that’s fine as a position to take, but why represent it as an answer to my question, when it’s not? It’s just making a non-responsive answer clearer.

And for a bonus, you made it harder to read with monotype!
Thanks for that info. Does that also remove beneficial nutrients like calcium, magnesium, potassium, etc?

If you even looked at the research, they sample all programs for which there is code to be viewed, and find such bugs.

Of course you could show that sampling is an invalid way to gather estimates of frequency, and rewrite all of statistics, but I suspect your high level C++ perfection is more time useful to you.

Me, on the other hand, trusts the aggregation of researchers over an internet commenter, even if they do have half of all comments in a topic.

Of course your mystery programs no one else can see provides you a way to claim such sampling is not representative. But since you made the claim, it is up to you to provide evidence.

I get that you have none except your anecdotal self-claims, which is certainly selection bias.

For example:

>Programs they are not in (e.g. mine) are nowhere in your list

I could point out you do mot have proof they are not in it; you just have not found one. Current tech on whole program correctness provers don't yet scale to codebases of this size, and absent that, you do not know your few programs do not have them, no matter how much you claim otherwise or try to code otherwise.

This was not my experience recently. German and Italian stations publish printed posters of train schedules and platform numbers but did not see these in any train station in France. Instead, platform numbers are updated at the last possible minute probably to keep the crowd off the platforms, so everyone congregates around the central board waiting for their number, and then rush madly to the platform en masse.

Also, on the French trains the connection platform numbers are only announced in French, so good luck if you're not a native speaker. Italian and German trains announce connections in English and also have LCD monitors on the bulkheads. All in all, I found the French train system the worst in Europe.

(Also, the new French booking app and website is train-wreck level of broken awfulness. And forget trying to book a train ticket across a national border, or several!)
