I'm not a social choice theorist but your ideas are interesting. Ranked-choice voting is gaining some momentum. Until there's more clarity though, stagnation could be for the best.

Unknown - Does El OchoCinco live in one of these states? And if so, why doesn't he/she change things there or move?

Slippery slope Tux, slippery slope... IMHO tie goes to the GOP on this one. Esp. when all Kamala's got so far is "my values haven't changed", which would be fine if she ever exhibited any values other than those of a socialist. Trump might be an a-hole, but he's a more consistent a-hole. And...

You ain't kidding! That guy's a nutjob.

I've heard good things about Zig. If it happens, it happens. That said, I try not to get too attached and I think it's wise to be flexible. At one point it helps to accept things for what they are in order to deliver service. After all, it's a matter of practicality and there's money to be made...

Yeah, that's a big part of it. I think Scheme is actually one of the best languages to work in. But you know, I might be the only one. Lol

LMFAO

Ah, Jonestown... those were the days! A homicidal cult leader and San Fransisco Democrats; like peas in a pod. Kamala was just young pup then but look at her now. Making Jim proud I bet! Two servings of kool-aid for me please :D

Wasn't it @Atlantic that called the assassination attempt on Trump "just a failed late term abortion"? FFS, the guy is almost 80 years old.

Depends on the meaning of the emphasized words (emphasis mine). Theft is generally not profitable as far as I'm concerned... because I'm not a thief. And, you rosy, may be a bit jaded/gifted in terms of technology... so very little would strike you as special and grab your attention. On the...

In addition to partially agreeing w/ @newwurldmn, you're being a bit pedantic here. In a very literal sense everything eventually gets converted into machine language, yes. But it usually starts in a high level language or probably even pseudo code. In fact, there was a time when Lisp and Java...

I'm a believer in using the right tool for the job so I won't claim Python is the answer to everything. In the right hands, however, it's extremely powerful and a must have for the modern developer. Given that beginners often mangle the whitespace when copy/pasting between systems, thus adding...

What's creepy is how prophetic the Biden Hitler rants were. I wonder if the HRP team is mostly Republicans, since they also seem to think Kamala will mess things up...

Would you rather a direct democracy w/ simple 51% majority rule instead? That's mob rule in my book. It's not half-baked... it's a simplification for illustrative purposes.

Yet again, we'll have to agree to disagree on this one Tux. I'd rather they didn't mess w/ the filibuster and when Kamala and her side talk and flip-flop on those kinds of deeper matters it can rub some of the electorate the wrong way. The green new deal is a great, yet impractical, sentiment...

Uhmmm... I thought democracy was two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner. That's why we've got a constitutional republic, if we can keep it. Remember? ;)

Lol, his poor enunciation was deliberate and meant to avoid suspicion.

You're pretty paranoid, huh Tux? I think he said it... just quickly and the midwest accent made it nearly unintelligible.

There's a little uproar over a prop bet on polymarket. So, just wondering if the independence of elitetraders can help. Here's the video, what's your take?

@Tuxan, this could be a subtle but very important difference between our viewpoints. Deliberation would imply that in-action is satisfactory, while compromise seems to mean there is more urgency.
