What is djb? I tried googling it and couldn't find anything that made sense.

Isn't that the point the poster is making? States have enough independence that they could introduce proportional representation themselves. The only voting reform that I know of in the United States is Maine introducing ranked choic

They specifically mention the issues with an RTG in the article. The high surface temperatures make radiating the excess heat off very hard. Same holds true for any sort of peltier chamber or heat-pump.

Interesting you should bring this up as we are currently in the process of moving from Datadog to Prometheus/Grafana. What we've found is all the time you save in not setting up Prometheus we lose in support tickets to Datadog to

Because Republicans don't need 50% of the support. They need way less because of imbalances built into the system. If your core support still does not support legalizing cannabis then it's not worth it to do it.

That doesn't provide a way of measuring your individual performance only that of the team. Analogous to that for me would be amount of downtime in our system but that's a whole team metric not an individual one. In most cases the

The beauty of EVs is you don't need guaranteed supply. If you only have power half the day you can charge during that half the day. Most EVs already support time mode charging and price based charging exists in a few. For always neede

Ah yes you're right. I wasn't looking at the 3rd most popular candidate in the first round. That being said the results would have been the same Under STAR voting too which people seem to suggest is better than RCV. Personally I l

The only situation where what you say is true is if enough of Hilary's supporters give both Bernie and Trump the same preference number. This is reflected in RCV by not putting a second and third choice. Remember that only the first r

Surely in your example STAR Voting would have had the same result? Hilary (and all other lesser candidates of which there are none) get eliminated leaving Bernie and Trump. Then preferences of Hilary voters for those two are calculated (Pr

This is very similar to saying that charities should deal with these issues (homelessness, drug additction, etc) not the government. Charities rely on donations. I strongly think that the government should be dealing with these things. I

Preferential voting means you list the candidates in your order of preference. It means you can put your first choice for a small party and if they get eliminated by having the least votes your second choice becomes your vote and so on.

I can't give the rating if I'm the one being hit. Uber drivers will consistently pull out when they don't have right of way because they don't want to wait. When how you're paid is dependent on you driving from A

I tried giving lower ratings and I've tried complaining to Uber. Even in cases where the route is clearly 3 sides of a square that involved 3 times the distance (and 3 times the price) they still side with the driver. I've had t

You think Germany is the one strong arming France into this? Germany has always been one of the countries most against fiscal transfers. Brexit seems to have less repercussions than initially thought because it hasn't happened yet! Th

Considering the head of the Commission and all the Commissioners are chosen by the governments of the EU nations and voted on by the Parliament this is a bit disingenuous. It's a bit like saying that the UK in undemocratic because the

You've just shifted the goalpost here. You asked how to control who's the head of the Comission not how to initiate legislation. But since you asked look at how little power a British MP has to get a private member's bill th

The UK is not passing itself off as a democracy? Also the House of Common's isn't really democratic in any meaningful sense of the word. It took 886,400 votes to get 1 Green MP but only 25,900 votes per SNP MP. Similarly 38,300

My wife's macbook ssd died the other day. 'Repairable' in this case meant replacing the entire motherboard for a cost of almost a new machine. Repairable should mean just repairing what's broken not everything.

I was a tech lead for a team in a startup but not particularly high. I know other people that were on similar salaries and I had friends who did the same thing as contractors that had much higher day rates.
