i went back and rewatched the video. It sounds like Grey implied everyone voted White tiger as 1st pick and the other tiger as 2nd. No explanation of how that would work tho.

That voting system is indeed too idealistic. The ideal is that if 65% of a voting population votes for the more popular candidate of Party A, everything above the cut off would go to the next highest candidate that belongs to Party. That way 65% of the voting population is ideally represented by the same political Party.

There are a bunch of problems with this of course. What if the 2nd candidate is under investigation for eating babies? Or who is to guarantee Candidate 2 will make the same policy decisions? No one would ever vote opposite of their party’s position! \s

I believe Australia had an incident were almost no one voted for a politician but they still won. Vaguely remember that was ~20 years ago and a lot of people were not happy with that.

I agree they are way ahead of anyone else for utility but they’re also killing the internet.

Yes the Electoral college sucks but popular vote isn’t a utopia either without some adjustments.

AI has sequestered the inventory and future production of memory starting at DDR5 and up. Meta has made an abomination “adapter” to use ddr4 in place of ddr5. They supposedly have backorders to 2030.

The idiots declared they had discovered fire but instead were merely rubbing two rocks together with such force to make sparks and smoke. A lot of people know they called it to early and are now trying to brute force create AGI.

AI capital investment is rumored to be over a trillion USD for just 2016 2026. Microsoft has revenue at just under 300 billion. Google’s revenue is around 350 billion. Both of these companies are going to drown when someone finally calls it.

Initially I didn’t know too much about Newsom except some people somewhat passionately disliked the guy. After he shoved the age verification law (a national login system wearing sheep’s clothing) through I started getting an idea why.

Disclaimer! Take everything below with a grain of salt as I haven’t spent time to completely verify it all.

Newsom has also held a series of partially questionable stances on issues that paints a very stark picture.

Newsom came out against the billionaire tax arguing it should be a national issue. Sure but keep in mind we haven’t raised the minimum wage since 2009 ($7.20/hour) and even when Democrats held everything, they didn’t pass a single payer healthcare, raise wages, or protect women’s rights.

The excuse of Paramount threatening to leave is kinda crap. The studio sound stages and the industry built up around them is difficult to just uproot. But that said there are a few mini “holly woods” starting to really mature around the world that are a lot cheaper than LA.

Another more subtle point is that one of the easier take away from Reagan and now Trump is that people vote for candidates who confidently promise to do something. By the time people figure out they’ve been duped, with both of these presidents we somehow ended up entangled with Iran. With Newsom he could do the “right” thing and stop a third of the US media industry being owned by an antidemocratic billionaire but then he would be blamed when the billionaires gang up to punish him by using him as a scapegoat for fuckery they were going to do anyway. Please remember to factor in that a big chunk of the USA voted for Trump, even if it can be proven that he did in fact steal votes in the swing states, he still got most of his victims to vote for him.

I have switched to DuckDuckgo and while their index is crap, it’s at least has more crap than what Google has.

DuckDuckgo I believe leases the Bing engine so I am still trying others.

also now I am using the direct search engines for specific sites… eg ‘@wiki <my search query>’ to use Wikipedias onwn search.
