In Denmark we have paper ballots and hand counting. Voting places closes at 8 pm and we have a result of how many seats different parties have around midnight.

The day after it is recounted and split into which candidates are actually elected - does it really have to be any faster than that?

Well - Even though us Danes are praised in the summary, we did see a significant drop in pisa scores this time around.

One could argue that the ranking on slashdot is user-generated content as well? Where as the youtube ranking is part user-generated, if we assume thumbs up etc. is part of the algorithm, and part secret sauce they aren't telling about. I think there is a good argument for holding people responsible for the secret sauces of the internet.

I just happened to read the Danish rules for how to get elected yesterday, and what they have done is register their part name - nothing else. They are basically no closer to be in charge of anything than any other adult Danish citizen.

So do take this with quite a bit of grain of salt :)

Astronomers routinely use AU for distance in the solar system instead of km.

Stores are required by law(with a few specific exceptions) to take cash as payment in Denmark.

It may be contributing, but I find it hard to believe it's a major cause. Or at least there is several ways to impact spreading. Here in Denmark hardly anyone wears masks, and we've been in solid decline since early April.

An even better solution would be to send actual feral Lynx' to advertisers - that would make them stop pretty quickly!

APL would look really nice - and very "codery". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Waay back I used the maxmind IP DB to determine which country users where from - it was all I needed. In that scenario "USA" Would be a perfectly usable location for me.

All I get is that MBA's are as bad as Hitler! ;)

What would you call Denmark, Sweden and Norway then? I often seem them blamed as socialist, but it does seem to go pretty well.

Yes, screw all the worthless open source software.

If you go out the door today, I will kill 10 people.

So now you're responsible for any killings today if you leave your house?

I have no idea if the state of the US justice system is THAT bad, but in any sane country such a case would/should be laughed out of court

Never expect that the driver uses the mirror anyway! :)
