Complex is being used in a different context here though. You are meaning complex as in strategic complexity. The parent (I think) is using it in terms of the games rules. Go is pretty simple in principle: place stones on the board one at a

Being way more immune to gerrymandering should be reason enough in my opinion. And besides, most of the things on the "con" list are only problems in some kinds of proportional representation I doubt we would ever use in the US (p

There is absolutely no possible way that you can defend GPL as being more free than licenses like BSD/MIT. Copyright is about being able to copy the software. GPL places restrictions on who is able to copy your software. BSD/MIT p

Ideally this would be used with a sort of `Cache-Global: true` header in HTTP, and then you would only be able to grab things that are intended to be cached like this. It would do nothing to stop super-cookies with this method though.

> "what does `public static void main` mean?" The problem with this question is that there is a ton of stuff you need to understand before you can really answer that question fully. To know what public means, you need to unde

On 6 you can also just put a space before the URI and it seems to trim the string before loading it.

> So why do you think the proposition that polls were systematically biased is so unserious? Two reasons. One, and the most obvious one is that the polls weren't very far off. They had the average amount of polling error that ther

You don't know what oversampling means in the context it's being used if you think that quote means that they're trying to bias the polls. One might argue that the article you linked is exactly the kind of fake news that is b

Wait, are you seriously suggesting that all of the polls that were done ( http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/n... ) were manufactured by leftist media? Seriously? Look at all of them. Up until the

It has some of the same kinds of problems that approval has, given that approval voting is a special case of range voting with only 2 options, 0 or 1. But I think it's better than all of the others, and much simpler to implement and un

Unfortunately STV has the same problems as first-pass-the-post, and some actually worse ones. Which is unfortunate, because people don't understand that and think it's much better. http://www.rangevoting.org/Irvtal

Doesn't evaporative cooling work against the second law somehow? There is a system with some average temperature, and spontaneously enough entropy is created to cause some of the liquid to reach boiling temperature and leave the system

My understanding of UPNP is that it allows the router itself to become a discover-able device on the network. Then the IoT device connects to the router and adds a static port mapping from the router's public IP address on a specific p

If you have $1020 in your bank account, and have a $1000 rent check about to clear, and your card gets stolen and $100 is charged to your debit card, then your mortgage payment is going to get declined even though you knew you had enough mo

Why would you use a debit card, which directly takes money out of your banking account, when you can use a credit card which increases a number owed against you? The former can cause lots of money in overdrawn bank accounts, while the latte

As someone who has an electric car, this completely disregards the fact that by having an electric car, it nearly automatically puts you into a higher electricity cost tier. In my case, it's $0.10/kWh for the normal, and $0.18&#x2

I'm kind of sad that from the email over 2 years ago: "1. Set 7 is out and, if you finished Set 6, you'll be getting Set 8 (Elliptic Curve) sometime in the next few weeks." Oh well, 2 years later I can still do them :)

Would this even work in what I describe? For instance, if mat.normalize() was added in LA-6, and B provides an LA-5 mat, and then A (which has been updated to use the new method) calls mat.normalize() on the LA-5 mat expecting an LA-6 mat b

I would say the only thing this slightly misses is the pseudo-3d models that Wolfenstein/Doom used. It got the terrain part, but not the somewhat clever thing where the characters were a series of 8 or so sprites that changed which one

It is only perjury to claim that you are the owner or qualified to act on the behalf of the owner of the copyrighted work that you allege is being infringed upon. For instance, if you are some random person, it would be perjury to file a DM
