That's such an important point. The two party system caused by plurality voting is so strong it even influences how we imagine policy debates. We imagine there would only ever be two points of view on any policy matter because no one

Okay, but that's hardly what most would consider innovative. Applying their large scale is more of an evolution of or improvement to the established cloud gaming idea.

Here's a take: I don't want Stadia; I want a modern and personal Sunray. I've described a computing model called PAO [1] on my blog that is Sunray-like in that you connect to your own personal computing environment from all

Maybe if this group grows over time we can finally move past the 24-bit color space that the mainstream has been stuck with for decades. I'm not a tetrachromat nor a woman, but I do routinely find myself bothered by the banding of gra

I wonder what their models predicted as marginal revenue of the touchbar and butterfly keyboard mechanisms, and how that compared to their marginal cost.

There's a lot of Good-Enoughism and Apple apologism in the responses to your question, even though you never said this was a deal-breaker. You are fairly asking why this particular corner was cut for costs, and it does seem a weird pl

I too have virtually no experience with any modern browsers crashing in the ways often reported here. And I'm at least a "power user," using browsers for consumption and web development throughout the day. Dozens or hundred

Since you can configure which DoH server your browser uses, I would guess Pi-Hole is going to implement (or already has) a DoH server of its own that will use configurable upstream DoH.

Precisely. If modern touch user interfaces are the result of any carefully-gathered metrics (a premise I find suspicious, but let's run with it), the metrics themselves must be orthogonal to the user actually being able to complete ta

That still looks better, in my opinion, than the mobile operating of today. A proper dark theme many years ago, and an elegant (IMO), simple, touch-oriented UI. It avoided the "play skool/AOL" aesthetic that really rankles

I agree with you that IRV is confusing, especially because it is non-monotonic (meaning it can actually help you to vote insincerely). Considerably better and easier would be approval voting, where you simply vote in approval of as many ca

I highly recommend CES's video on voting methods that highlights the non-monotonicity of IRV [1]. I would prefer the adoption of simpler models that can be implemented and understood by voters easily, such as approval or score voting.

Although instant run-off and other ranked or "preferential" voting models are an improvement over plurality, we should be advocating for better and simpler models such as approval voting or score voting. Approval and score voting
