I agree that we'll probably need to start making a lot more fresh water. I am however confused by the suggestion that any large portion should go towards dumping it in existing watersheds. I would have though that the simplest and mo

I don't see how a stake-out isn't a search. It might presumptively be a reasonable search that doesn't require a warrant, as it's not a search that interferes or trespasses. But they are looking for evidence, right? I

I certainly think it is worth distinguishing sex and gender, and that using different words is the necessary first step. However I think that by-and-large people use "man" and "woman" to describe gender -- though not gen

> Until now, scholars had supposed the Vascones had no proper written language – save for words found on coins That seems to be a pretty ridiculous supposition. Why would they only use it for coins?

This shows crows understand nesting. (Which is kind of amusing.) It's true that understanding (even merely to the level of correctly checking for) /arbitrary/ nesting requires an implementation that is equivalent to recursio

For 1, meh. Marking is the same and it is much closer to incentivizing honest reporting. For 2, everyone advocating for Condorcet has some favorite cycle-breaker. Mostly it doesn't matter; it's a lot more rare than non-monotonic

There is the NOTIFY extension, but it's for master servers to notify secondary servers that they should do a pull. Not really usable for unknown general clients, of course.

How do you handle new releases of the documenation? A bunch of now irrelevant comments, or are they all summarily deleted (or at least restricted to the previous version)?

I don't know if they're exactly following the Australian STV rules, but it is quite similar. Begich had the fewest amount of _first_ place votes, so was eliminated first. However, Begich was ranked ahead of Palin (and Pelota for t

Although FPTP is bad, it's not at all clear that IRV (the election method that most mean when they say the ballot-marking method of RCV) actually leads to less extremism. It's a chaos monkey in any race that approaches competitiv
