@SecondJon I'm going to ask the main question again:

Selecting a President is a single decision. What criteria would you propose other than the winner of an election where every vote is counted equally? What ideal is supported by weighting some votes more heavily than others?

@SecondJon What criteria would you propose other than the winner of an election where every vote is counted equally? What ideal is supported by weighting some votes more heavily than others?

Polls consistently show that the people DO prefer a popular election -- by a wide margin.

The thought that "only the counties around LA, Chicago, and New York" would matter under a popular vote is demonstrably false:

@SecondJon It's about fixing a system that elects a candidate when more people preferred a different one. Do you really think that's acceptable?

@SecondJon It's about making every PERSON'S voice equal, regardless of what state they're in.

I got my mom a new phone with a brand-new number yesterday and it's already getting spammered.

I have a CS PhD & worked at Google for 9 years.

Probably none of that would've happened if my CS 1 class weren't taught in Scheme. The kids who came in already knowing C and Java were equally perplexed by Scheme and therefore I didn't feel like the dumbest one in the class. twitter.com/maddiestone/status

Stanford just launched their Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (@StanfordHAI@twitter.com) with great fanfare. The mission: "The creators and designers of AI must be broadly representative of humanity."

121 faculty members listed.

Not a single faculty member is Black.

Due to bad planning, I've had handfuls of sugar and salt for both lunch and dinner today.

That day, Westley was amazed to discover that when the Dread Pirate Roberts was saying, "Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning." what he meant was, "I love you."

This video powerfully makes a point about unconscious gender bias in the workplace without (quite) coming out and saying it. youtube.com/watch?v=JFW2cfzevi
