Every gym membership I’ve had would let you finish the current month.

Most plans don't allow rollovers while you are still employed at the company.

I'm a decent chess player. 1600 elo over the board, 1800 online. I think the conclusions reached give too much time to non-critical moves and not enough time to critical moves. Let's take th…

I like this idea. If I’m doing anything more than a trivial formula in Excel or Google Sheets then it’s a pain to look up the proper syntax. Just being able to use Python sounds great.

Also it’s not just about the nominal parties that win, it’s the composition of politicians in those parties, and RCV selects for more broadly agreeable candidates.

That is one solution, another is multi-member districts

In the real world, moderate candidates (green in the example) get more support/votes than extremists so it’s unlikely they would get the fewest first place votes. Also, if green is only able to g…

STAR and Approval have different pros and cons, they are not objectively superior. I think RCV is better, in my opinion . STAR and Approval both have their own tactical voting problems. If you really…

What is your WFH policy? Could one come in 5 days a week most weeks but then 0-2 days a week for the summer months?
