Nope. That is not going to happen because it will require a constitutional amendment which does not benefit supremely rural states. Even if these extremely conservative rural states completely flipped to hard blue they would still be rural.
The Electoral College is not a bad idea. It is just implemented poorly. It would work better if it actually represented the voting constituents instead of a controlling party. Nebraska and Maine have it correct.
Predictable. When I was doing this work full time greater than 90% of the code came from outside the organization, such as NPM packages or framework plugins, and nobody reviewed the third party code. Nobody wanted to own the hard problems like security, accessibility, or performance. They just wanted to put text on the screen with JSX and call themselves experts.
I completely agree. In August I discovered the key to faster data transmission is better memory management. This allowed me to write a common protocol library in TypeScript that is about 35x faster than the current fastest implementation.
Due to a defect in my perf tool I eventually discovered that about 99.2% of processing time was spent on memory management, not instruction processing or network buffer. I was working in a high level garbage collected language, so I could not fine tune adjustments to pointers. Instead I got creative with call stack management and low level data frame header authoring. Now I am trying to replicate that success back to a low level http 1.1 implementation and it’s much more challenging.
I am working on project that also provides a web based dashboard to manage docker containers and web servers. Mine also started as a project to manage household services. Yours is much prettier than mine.
Now I am trying to pivot my project into an eventual startup. I want to use it to compete with the big data integration systems out there like MuleSoft. My software is thousands of times faster and cheaper to execute, but I still have a lot of performance and stress validation to perform.
Yes and no. TypeScript's type system is duck typing, but if you type absolutely everything it does closely describe actual JavaScript behavior. You can even set rules in your tsconfig file to forbid implicit null or undefined, but I don't do that in my own code.
I still prefer vanilla TypeScript whether writing a browser application, command line application, or both. The language is extremely mainstream but the mere mention of not using common abstractions will trigger holy wars from people who cannot program.
I don't think that is logically correct. Commonly perceived probability has been proven frequently wrong whether naturally or due to manipulation. The reasoning here is not exactly the same, but closely aligns to bandwagon fallacy.
It would be interesting to see how frequently Polymarket predictions bet against the most common prediction and by what margins.
It's the least inaccurate way. There's money to be made if you're sure you have a better way. The real problem is we're already seeing these markets influence the outcome.
You make two valid points, but they still do not qualify the validity of these markets as accurate predictors. There is a difference when people, like Berkshire Hathaway really dig into the financials and management of a company to predict its future versus somebody like me who just money on a stock. In one case an investor seeks to make money and actively influence an outcome, but in my case I am just dropping money and hoping it out paces the rise of inflation because banks are no longer reliable stores of financial security.
Polymarket projections do not provide investigative insight, as in the Berkshire Hathaway example. It's just gambling. Any influence drawn from these predictions is incidental and reactive, as opposed to active market forces like buying/selling.
Nobody is saying it's better than stock market predictions of assets and company financials. Though there are some asset price predictions on there that exactly match the traditional markets, so it's no worse.
