of science will open the golden age." And in fact, that notion still pervades the French education system. Condorcet set up what became the modern French high school education system, which is, although it's rather rigid, is fairly effective. And every French 17-year-old has to pass an exam in philosophy.
One long, giant lung and one smaller lung. With the California condor , when the last few were brought in in the 80s, we were told that it would never work.
the rare, endangered species at a NASCAR event. The California condor at a NASCAR event. NASCAR is auto racing.
One long, giant lung and one smaller lung. or not so cute as a condor , they're all important.
What's your name? This is Heather. Give it up for Heather. This is Heather doing the California condor , the rare, endangered species at a NASCAR event.
They taked us with creating a new mascot for them. And so we came up with Chuck the Condor , the California condor . And we want to tie it, again, with our research, we want to tie it to the location.
As Andy Montroll is disqualified, the other counts go up as those votes are transferred. Another algorithm. Condorcet method, or Con-dor-say. A French mathematician from 100 years ago.
One long, giant lung and one smaller lung. Kind of a brief overview of all the different species from Andean condor to California condor , thick-billed parrot.
Yeah. That was Ben Cohen, our music director, on the keys. On the guitar, we had Dylan Condor . On the bass, Rob Jost.
So that's one comment I wanted to make. And the other thing is that I'm a little bit concerned with the Condorcet algorithm about some of the strategic manipulations that it is vulnerable to. For example, two front-runners.
Down the street from that is Carol Doda, who was this incredibly famous burlesque performer with these great stories that came out of this place, The Condor , like the couple that was having sex on the piano, the hydraulic piano that broke, and they just kind of went up to the ceiling and trapped them there.
election looks at all of the data at once. So just from a perspective of navigating the solution space, Condorcet is a better algorithm. And it requires exactly the same inputs.
And there's been over 150 elections since 2004 using that version. The Burlington 2009 election is the only one where the instant runoff result has differed from the Condorcet result. So in practice, it seems to be a very, very rare outcome.
I hope they release full data so that we can analyze it properly. And yes, it's true that most of the time instant runoff voting and Condorcet agree. My argument is that for no additional cost, you can get a better choice when they don't agree.
I would point out, you know, these guys are surfing over the hull of the Jalisco. So that ship provides a hazard kind of unlike most other surf spots I've ever seen anywhere. to be really big. This is Rob Brown's boat pulling up to a boat called the Condor . I got to go out on the Condor at a very slow pace and I was just having awful nightmares.
And all the bite marks are on one bone, the humerus, the upper arm bone. scavenger, I mean, the true scavengers, like the vultures and condors and stuff like this, you have to be ultra-long distance, very energy-efficient travelers. They're
which has become quite widespread-- ideology. He invented that word, and he said, as you can see, "Ideology is part of zoology." Condorcet was a mathematician. He was murdered in prison.
And he persuaded himself that he could see, if you had a candle, you could see phlogiston or elemental fire being released by the candle. Now, it is an interesting spin on this, because I'm coming to the end of the talk now, because Condorcet, who I've mentioned already,
