- There is this episode of Battlestar Galactica in which Admiral Caine arrives, out of the blue, and assumes command of the civilian flotilla -- the last remnants of their species -- previously lead by the Battlestar Galactica.

- because net neutrality is considered 'censorship', according to republicans. their universe is so fucking twisted, i don't know how they wake up in the morning.

- President Roslin and Captain Adama attempt to speak to her and try to convince Admiral Caine of the civilian superiority in regards to the ultimate value of the fleet.
- Admiral Caine refuses to listen, insisting that the civilian fleet must server the military counterstrike, which would be hopeless, against the Cylons.
- Sorry, Commander Adama.
- After Admiral Caine takes her leave, Commander Adama and President Roslin look noticeably distressed.
- President Roslin leans over to Commander Adama and, with no irony, says, "You have to killed her, Bill."
- Donald Trump is a threat to all mankind.
- His legitimate victory in the US Presidential election does not negate that fact.
- Ideally, the properly functioning appratuses of state -- whether America, foreign, or international -- would, non-violently, arrest him for treason and corruption, with a pre-emptive view on war crimes against humanity.
- Failing this, it becomes moral for Donald Trump to be killed in a coup.

- America has participated in the extrajudicial killings of those humans it deems are too dangerous and who refuse to play ball by the rules established by the USA.
- fieryUSA: here's the real deal
- And it's what I was speaking about the other day
- The idea of universal, uniform (one person, one vote on all issues), in our system, stems from the 18th century.
- It appears this model may not work as well as other possible models.
- Specifically, cognitive science and psychology have helped us gain some real insight into the thought and emotional patterns of our species.
- I think we need to work towards a system with dynamic voting power based off long-term capability, acute mental state, and issue.
- So, you have a history of saying stupid stuff on climate change, you get zero votes on climate change.
- If you are a world leader in climate change research, you get 50,000 votes on climate change issues.
- So, even by 1787, the Framers understood there were certain mental/social states humans could find themselves that would lead to ruin.
- The mob mentality of factions (extensively discussed in the Federalist Papers).
- The cruelty and idiocy that comes from religious belief (being with the Peace of Westphalia, Europeans systematically began removing Christianity from governance of the state)
- Uniform voting is one mechanism used in some distributed computing models
- It's also quite often not used, as it isn't optimal for a range of problem domains
- For example, uniform voting can be used, I think, to solve the split-brain problem

- It can also be used by the operating system to determine which process has access to the CPU core
- Typically, however, there is a notion of priority in most operating systems because research indicates it is better
- Of course, it depends on your goals for the computing device
- An extreme example would be in real-time operating systems often found on spacecraft. Here, uniform voting/priority would be disastrous. Instead, there are very robust notions of asymmetric, ranked value of processes
- The linux kernel uses some modified priority system for deciding which process has access to the CPU
- Hmm, that may be wrong

- Completely Fair Scheduler - Wikipedia
- EsFeo
- "CFS is an implementation of a well-studied, classic scheduling algorithm called weighted fair queuing.[4]"
- "Weighted fair queueing (WFQ) is a data packet scheduling algorithm used by network schedulers. WFQ is both a packet based implementation of the generalized processor sharing policy (GPS), and a natural generalization of fair queuing (FQ): whereas FQ shares the link's capacity in equal subparts, WFQ allows to specify, for each flow, which fraction of the capacity will be given."
- So, it can be both
