I don't know if it's possible to improve every kind of voting in the same way. But we could improve some parts. For example, voting in elections could be improved by introducing Single Transferrable Vote https://en.wiki

Any time you introduce any type of cost, you create a system where it is extremely easy to disadvantage a group of people.

Punctuation is easy in English. Especially compared to Russian. Spelling is horrendous, and it takes a lot of time to memorize it and internalize it. And even then: https://people.cs.georgetown.edu/nschneid/cosc272&#x2F

Turkey is in NATO . And had no issues downing a military Russian jet that entered its airspace for a few seconds. Meanwhile Russian military jets violate NATO airspace in the Baltics. Russian Geran drones leisurely cruise in NATO airspace.

At the time when the jet violated Turkish airspace it wasn't a territorial threat either. Strangely enough no jet has violated Turkish airspace since (but a few drones have landed in Turkey during the war in Ukraine). Meanwhile Russian

Some years back when a Russian jet breached Turkish airspace just for a few seconds, it was shot down. Now it's nothing but strongly worded thoughts and prayers

Russia has been probing NATO for several years now. NATO is a paper tiger that seems to be content to do nothing. As long as the probing is in the lesser members: the Baltics, Romania. When (likely not if) Russia decides to attack the Balti

await implies async functions. Looks like Java's "there is no simpler syntax than plain old synchronous code" is just a lot of extra manual wrangling of stuff

It lists all instances, you can drill down into each one of them, see which services are affected, and each affected service pops up the incident timeline? Isn't it actually amazing, and not "the most salesforce thing ever"?
