Am I reading correctly? There are about 30k ships that go through Hormuz per year. At US$2m per trip that’s like $60b per year. Last year the whole budget of Iran was around US$110b. So the deal amounts to a >50% increase in their budget (or >25% after they split it with Oman)?

As a new Canadian, can someone explain how the CBC can call a Liberal government but *not* a majority government? How many seats do they need to project the Liberals will win to feel comfortable making that call? Maybe @peark.es knows?

For the urbanists: Is there a notion that measures how dense a neighbourhood needs to be (at current or equilibrium(?) price) to be "affordable?" Curious about neighbourhoods who say they want to be affordable, but given current prices and zoning, could never be Maybe @idothethinking.bsky.social?

What in the world is this voting system used by the Canadian Liberals? archive.ph/fyN9m
Voters ranked the contenders on the ballot and the party uses a weighted system that assigns every riding 100 points. How many points each of the candidates receives depends on their share of the vote in that particular riding.

Looking through what is possible nowadays with uv, I wonder what pure python stacks still require conda?

It's time for the quadrennial update of Redraw the States! This tool allows users to change the borders of US states to see how those changes would affect election results kevinhayeswilson.com/redraw/

How arbitrary is the Electoral College?
If Lake County, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kamala Harris would have easily won the state. How little do state lines need to move for Harris to have won the election? The answer is shockingly small.
