Isn't this functionality already built into the default web UI?

In any round though you only have 1 vote still, it's just collecting the votes ahead of time? The only thing you lose is knowing who is in each round in advance?

In your example, wouldn't the same candidates have been knocked out in each round regardless?

That way still ends up with candidates that you didn't vote for though, the ranked choice method means you always have a vote in each round.

But when you have a problem, you complain to your representative that represents your area and knows all the details. That's a powerful thing.

In the UK at least there are a lot of seats that are swung by those holding them rather than their party.

It's not X turning into Y when it comes to evolution. There were all kinds of different dinosaurs, that evolved I to all kinds of different niches. Most of those then went extinct due to rocks falling from the sky, or the entirety of India turning into a huge volcano etc.

So it's not that a T-Rex turned into a chicken, it's that T-Rexs lived alongside other dinosaurs that developed feathers and filled more niches etc. those that survived eventually became birds. (Have you ever seen an Emu up close?!? No wonder the Australians lost to them 🤣)

Disclaimer: I have no specific knowledge. Also, remember this happened over (billions? hundreds of millions) of years.

Other comments about just not noticing feathers are valid too.

Ugh, life took ages to get started. Lazy bacteria!

It's still a hell of a long time if you consider that the entirety of recorded (ish) history is only a few thousand years long.

Updated comment to remove an order of magnitude.

It's probably a single dev that made the decision, then moves onto something else. They (probably?) don't have the ability to just raise a recurring PO etc to easily pay you and don't care enough to worth through the paperwork.

If you had a paid licencing model they may have done it, or just found another lib/ wrote their own.

Then you don't get any new people at all. (Or very few)

I would split digital privacy from the foss and Linux discussions. They attract the same people, but are fundamentally different topics.

It also means you could get deeper into the digital privacy topic which is more useful to most people.

For the digital privacy one, ask for a volunteer (or do you!) ahead of time and get them to do GDPR requests for apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta etc. sanitizer anything they want to hide, but do a demo of what big tech actually knows about them.

Then go though how to prevent that and have a discussion on the pros and cons of that data collection. (Eg I don't care about Google data tracking as I find the Google location history really useful)

Everything is eventually decided by the majority of votes in the house of commons. Even if you put a law in saying that the pm can't do this without a 80% vote, that law itself could be repealed with a 50% vote.

Theoretically it would only require a 50% vote to remove elections or something crazy. (Although in practice that might not get past the king who technically has the final say)

There is no formal constitution that has more protection like in some countries.

Not visible to the eye, didn't realise the camera was picking it up at the time or I would have gone outside to get a better photo. It peaked at 3am unfortunately.

It really depends on the company. You can make fully remote work, you can make 20-40% work or you can do 80-100% work. However the company needs to be run with that in mind to ensure good communication/team building etc.

You also can't just change the rules. If you change the split someone is going to be unhappy.

(And accept that your possible talent pool is reduced when you don't offer remote work)

Do a test print on something smaller (and cheaper!), if it's a z issue it should occur based on height right? So print something relatively tall and thin.

No weird properties/looks on the stuff that did print?

I really want to see the email/message exchange preceding some of these changes at twitter/Tesla.

Is there any pushback/discussion any more, or does Elon just say jump and entire departments vanish?

Could be supervillain problems 🤣 comments about wishing someone would go away and an underling resolves it's in a more permanent way .....

Probably not, it's just that his entire exec team are spineless henchman.

I think the spacex team is still independent (ish) for now, I fear for them though!

Obviously, check the price before booking. I assume like most things here it can either go up or down as you get closer depending on demand.

There are some interesting ideas in there that I hadn't heard of. Interesting article

I love Mastodon and ActivityPub. But I think Nostr is going to win. Here's why.

Mastodon is a great platform. I have an account there, and I have been using it as a twitter replacement for several months. I have been using nostr for around two months. I have also read fairly deeply into how Mastodon and Nostr work. I think nostr is better. Here's why....

Yeh, it's all the network effect. Where people go will, generally be where they continue to go.

That's why threads was dangerous (and may still be) to and more grassroots federated options
