For the railfans in my feed, I’m departing on a Coast Starlight sleeper car trip with my wife and kids, I’ll probably be live-tooting over on Masto: @[email protected]

Oh, apropos of nothing, but at 9 AM this morning the vote lines were non-existent. Voting on election day FTW.

Apparently it’s real. Need to give this problem to physics 1 students.

Just found out about ".git/info/exclude". It's like my own personal ".gitignore". Nice!

I am once again asking that you not take ratios (or cumulative sums) of household wealth, a quantity which is defined as a difference and can be zero or negative.

People saying this election was about IRV are just mistaken. Under conventional plurality, conventional run-off, or conventional primary voting Palin would still have lost. At the end of the day, she couldn't win a head-to-head.

I don’t really think the Alaska outcome had anything to do with RCV — wouldn’t Palin have just won a GOP primary and then lost the general because she’s an unpopular weirdo?
