It's amazing that you propose "just X" to three literally unsolved problems. Where's this micropayment platform? Where's the ID which is uncircumventable and preserves privacy? Where's the perfect anti-cheat? I

The comparison does NOT make sense. One is a body pledged, often legally, to vote for the state's winning candidate, with only extremely rare deviations by faithless electors (which never once came even close to putting the popular ele

It's so great living in the ~best~ only system for organising the economy. Working people can't afford homes or starting a family , but at least we are generating amazing value for shareholders.

If you don't mind me asking, are you autistic? You are conflating the de jure (winning the popular vote wins you the state's electors) with the de facto (the electors are a pro forma/rubber stamp).

The electoral college delegates choose the president of their own free will? There is no presidential election? You literally have to be trawling at this point.

What are you talking about? In what sense is history done by professional historians degrading in recent times? And what short/long term incentives are you talking about? They are the same as any social science.

There's no way you're seriously making this argument. I don't know what else to say except repeat myself. The US electoral college is an historical artifact that simply rubber stamps the votes of the States. The member states

The electoral college is a rubber stamp of the popular vote (per state). The commission is selected by the member-states governments with no electoral input. You cannot be making this argument in good faith...

Exactly. The European """Parliament""" does not have the power to propose new laws, so if it passes once, it cannot repeal it of its own initiative. So much for democracy.

That's just ridiculous. The US president is directly elected by the people, modulo the weirdness of state-level FPTP. Flawed as the electoral college is, there's no comparison whatsoever.

Everything you say here is correct. Democracy is not a binary where if you have an election no matter how indirect then it's a "democracy™". The EU is governed by backroom deals and is extremely opaque. Adding to everything

It's to this kind of quality engineering that they want me to entrust my ID so I can watch pr0n or insult a politician online. Jesus.

I don't understand this. How does it slow your development if the tests being green is a necessary condition for the code being correct? Yes it slows it compared to just writing incorrect code lol, but that's not the point.

Yeah right... That's why the left wing parties in the EP voted against and the conservatives / neoright parties voted in favour of censorship. -.-

The massive effects of lead poisoning are still seen on a large scale near airports and in areas with lots of avgas powered traffic. That most of it is for essentially recreational purposes makes it even more infuriating.

Well yeah, it's never really about "save the earth", it's more precisely about "save ourselves by saving an earth that is habitable by humans".

I feel like all that is beyond the point. People used goo.gl because they largely are not tech specialists and aren't really aware of link rot or of a Google decision rendering those links unaccessible.
