I asked some inappropriate things and it was "translated" to I cannot assist with that request. It definitely needs to be more clear when it's refusing to translate. But, then again, I don't even use kagi.
I personally prefer approval voting over rank choiced voting. Simpler and gets most of the way there. Also, ranked choice voting is incompatible with the electoral college. As much as I despise the electoral college, a constitutional amendment to correct it is seemingly impossible. Not sure how ranked choice voting would work with an interstate compact though.
Same here. Way more people will understand how approval voting works when compared to rank choice. Not to mention, it incentives candidates to behave with more tact, rather than be so adversarial. You see this in how approval voting elections have less adversarial, negative ads.
Also because ranked choice has multiple rounds, it allows for splitting the vote in unexpected ways. This happened recently in France (I think) where the majority would have approved of either of two candidates, but the third was the one that won because of how the second choices were split after the first round. That can't happen with approval voting.
Also, with approval, there's an additional much more hidden advantage: There's no limit to how many you can vote for, so you can vote for your ideal candidate and an acceptable moderate without feeling like you're throwing away your vote. It makes it more likely for moderates and third parties to win over the more extreme candidates.
Just use cosmetic filtering on ublock to filter for certain words using has-text in [span, a, p] elements (div breaks some websites, thus doesn't work for hn comments). It helps remove a lot of noise on the web. Particularly on select topics that get astroturfed / rage-baited to hell.
Unlikely that its problematic, brands/stores know that positioning/caging on shelves matter and negotiate accordingly. Eye level sells more than top/floor shelf.
The issue of dunkelflaute is measurable and you can approach it the same way that storms are rated as being 100,1000-year storms. Not that I wouldn't appreciate more nuclear.
There are so many useful idiots, they were never going to manipulate you directly, there's too many people.
I can't even tell how much of this comment section is astroturfed / bot driven anymore.
