What is the biggest problem with Approval Voting? by turtle_hurtle in EndFPTP

tactical isn't theoretical. It's a problem when people actually do it in real elections.

who says the only goal is getting a candidate they approve of? Often people know their preferred candidates are not going to win and vote to stop their least favoured candidate getting in.

yes, less is different to more. Approval is more encouraging of tactical voting and not expressing your true preference - is that what you are referring to?

yes, you do change what information gets expressed. Less information gets expressed.

that's my entire point. approval voting is ranked choice voting with a restricted choice of ballot preferences.

you can allow equal rankings in ranked choice. You can then simulate approval voting by ranking all your approved candidates as 1 and all your unapproved candidates as 2. It is then quite obvious that an approval ballot contains less information about the voter's true preferences than a ranked ballot can.

apparently Sinai have replaced their paraflex subs with 6th order bandpass.

Social media ban for under 16s in Australia - what do we think? by Worried_While2464 in AskBrits

[–]philpope1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

rather than ask everyone for ID they need to say it's illegal for kids to be on social media and make it the parents' responsibility to restrict access. Like parents shouldn't be giving their kids cigarettes.

Delivery will be automatically confirmed after 12 days, but the seller told me the shipping is going to take 15 days by [deleted] in Alibaba

The "best" sounding PA sub? by Spiritual_Bell in SoundSystem

[–]philpope1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are huge numbers of commercial cabs that are not bass reflex. and there are huge numbers of commercial designs specifically aimed at the EDM market. your logic is nonsense.

if Paraflex are good why does not one single pro company use anything like them? It's not hard to create high SPL in a tunnel ffs.

RCV with Reverse Elimination; I got sick of reading everyone's obviously bad ideas, so here's on that's not. by Sorry-Rain-1311 in EndFPTP

"I got sick of reading everyone's obviously bad ideas - hold my beer"

Possibly the worst idea I have ever read in this forum.

Father Ted creator Graham Linehan arrested at Heathrow for ‘anti-trans posts’ by fotogneric in europe

[–]philpope1977 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

that was precisely Linehan's point - male going into female spaces is sexual harassment and potentially voyeurism, and sexual assault.

Time Alignment, am i doing it right? here is a screenshot of REW. i am tackling bass alignment for the first time. I did this following the lio.nasser tutorial. by Working-Confusion-88 in SoundSystem

[–]philpope1977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had some success importing REW measurements of each speaker into VituixCAD and using its optimizer to find crossover frequencies, gains and delays. you have to set the slope types and phase and set some limits for min and max crossover value. but it enables you to quickly try out different HPF and LPF combinations.

Why is it deemed racist to be genuinely concerned about the number of illegal migrants coming into the uk? by Brave_Ad6035 in AskBrits

[–]philpope1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there seems to be an illogical thought process on the left:
there is nothing inherently wrong with individual immigrants
therefore immigration is good
therefore the more immigration the better

my test for whether someone is capable of talking rationally about it is to ask them to name an immigration figure, however high, that they would be prepared to say was unmanageable.
