That's not how its working here. We are getting near 100% representation from about 56% of votes. The ballot is approval style voting, you can vote for X of Y candidates.

The issue is we have an absolute flood of money landing at least in the US. The build back better plan is all front loaded spending, back loaded taxes. Where does all this money go? I'm serious. If you put it in the bank it makes 0.01%

Interesting, that limitation should perhaps be highlighted. I think the appeal of the simple ballot is what drove adoption (ie, vote for as many as you like, top X win). In California the trick is they treat all open seats as one office.

I've seen approval voting up close, approval and top 3 make it to council seats. One issue seems to be domination by majority? For example, let's say 55% of electorate is hard left, 45% moderate to conservative. Under approval tho

Have you tried implementing ipv6 in a medium to larger network? Even folks like google with more money then god and more experts by far than anyone else likely has had some struggles getting their GCP offering alone fully IPv6 enabled. Afte

Welcome to bigtime shadow IT then in a white collar / high performing workforce. People will be using personal laptops, spinning up AWS instances etc to get work done especially if they collaborate with others. I worked at a place, fol

Which would be a good situation for private address ranges. They have 14 /8 blocks though - wow.

Fantastic. I'm serious. This is great work, very practical with little downside. After 10 years of headlines that we have "run out" of IPv4, the reality is that free IPv4 is gone, but there is a real market for IPv4 (and that

Yeah, the speed of the older stuff was amazing - EVEN on older machines. Office 365 with the plugins now required at work / one drive etc - slow.

This I think is third revision of API for slack? That said - I really like the idea of a relatively straightforward way to wire up actions. I'd especially love to be able to get into and out of a database. I starred another project - r

I've used that site - got me to get rid of their inflation protected investments unfortunately! And no cut and paste.

No kidding. Govt websites seem to think this is a positive. Of course, these same folks do the 90 day rotation. Result - everyone writing down passwords on post-it notes next to screens.

For sure. All leaders in a space take this approach. Little be gained, a fair bit to lose if you are ALREADY leading without having to debate / do a benchmark etc. Anyways, the benchmark is only one part of the overall story for these

Ahh, fair enough there. That said, snowflake would help their case if they would actually do at least one actual tpc.org third party result

Databricks results are available at tpc.org [1] Snowflake has shown NOTHING close to this. [1] http://tpc.org/results/fdr/tpcds/databricks~tpcds~100000~dat...

Even worse, they claimed to have similar performance to Databricks AND claimed databricks "lacked integrity". WOW, talk about chutzpah!

You don't have to be under an anti-microsoft rock. If you were a VB/WinForms type person - you've been wondering where Microsoft has been going with their desktop ecosystem for AGES now. Ahh, finally we are told, this new rel

Not disagreeing. In my view the reliability / noise (ground issue) / pollution etc make an electric sustainer absolutely fantastic. Sailplanes can slow way down as well, so yes, if they crash its a problem, but these are not GENER

I think you have to count batteries. That said at least in EU I think there is already a big electric assist / launch sailplane market - is this not permitted in the US? That said, some of the electric sailplanes are in the 800lbs rang

Pax airlines over oceans etc using batteries is a bad joke. It's pure garbage hype. Some fantastic value around reliability and maintenance (two huge issues in GA market) with electric. If EPA bans leaded fuels (which they should immed

if you like following WHT dedicated hosting offers one fun thing is to just see how long lasting (or not) these providers are. Despite supposedly being 4x faster and 4x cheaper, these dedicated hosting offer guys come and go like moths circ

Looking at this uber charged folks with disabilities on the same basis as those without, not differently. So the discrimination claim is that they should have not charged folks with disabilities the waiting fee.

The routing has gotten a bit worse I think. On a drive I do a fair bit it has me do an unprotected left onto a busy 4 lane road with a blind approach from the right. Miserable. If it kept me on the other main road 10 seconds longer I'd

It may not matter in this context but did the flutter team ever figure out jank on iOS especially first run? Something always seems off with that vs native. This was an old issue, but they seemed to struggle with addressing it / or it

Not an attorney, but I always thought google had TOS against using their data to create or augment any other mapping related dataset. So I'm not recommending this either. Just wanted to mention that while the OSM community get's v
