Education has really failed to impress upon people the importance of asking questions. It’s amazing how much time is wasted on making people learn answers to questions they don’t even know how to ask.

For some reason I read ‘zombies’, was wondering what on earth you were planning.

Also a reminder that accepting an alternative tracking method is likely to just end up with 2 different ways to track you rather than one slightly less invasive one.

You also shouldn’t ask how it manages to light only half of an otherwise flat earth I suppose.

Best explanation I saw involved light curving. At which point you’re just working with a spherical earth in a weird coordinate system.

I am, no worries.

Using reverse proxies is common enough now that quite a few apps can deal with subpaths, and for the ones that can’t you can generally get nginx to rewrite the paths for you to make things work.

Put simply you just give every candidate points out of 10 and then elect the one with the highest average.

Approval voting (not acceptance, my mistake), simplifies things a bit by only allowing none or all points. Which is the best if you want to vote tactically anyway.

This method sidesteps a couple of the issues that Arrow’s impossibility theorem raises, and is easy enough to understand. Ranked choice is better than first past the post but still has the issue that adding an additional candidate can affect the end result in complex ways.

With approval voting most aspects are easy to understand. Adding or removing candidates trivially has no effect on the rest of the result. And while you can still vote tactically the only real tactic is where you put your cutoff, you should still vote for the option(s) you like best.

Why not acceptance/range voting?

Not much you can do about institutions you have no control over, but surely you could go to a different bank?

Assuming there is a bank that doesn’t use this of course.
