Each eligible voter gets a unique key they can vote with. Only way to get around that would be impersonation of someone else's key. 2-step verification could be used.

I feel like software mistakes are easily identifiable and fixable where human mistakes are not on both accounts. Plus, even small mistakes could lead to elections being decided on just a few votes the wrong way.

OK, but voting is also a very short part of the democratic process. Voting needs to be reasonably fast so that the decisions are then enacted. If recounts cause the process to take months (which I believe was the case back in 2000), then it

The suggestions mentioned in this testimony basically recommend doing just that. Paper ballots are used to keep a record of the vote in the case of a system outage or if a manual audit is triggered, but for the most part you would never do

Are they the real results or the exit polls?

by TheGRS 9y ago
Sure, polling places are still offered in that case. The benefit of voting from home greatly outweighs the cons IMO. I wasn't implying that voting coupons would still have the issue of people bullying you, just why we don't use th

Secure by what standard? Its fairly easy to forge paper ballots or mis-report counts.

by TheGRS 9y ago
Classic counting being what? By hand? Does that sound like the most accurate or efficient way to go about this?

This was the system the US had for a long time. In fact the newspapers would have coupons you could cut out and bring to the polls. Problem back then was that people would literally beat you up on the way to the poll if they disagreed with

I thought you were going to say its a mercy because of how horrible it is to play Monopoly in the first place :)

Yes, I am a big fan of that game! It comes fairly close to that eurostyle board game and once I figured out how to play it I was having a great time. Its still fairly confrontational, as in you need to be raiding fellow player's bases

I haven't played it, but they turned M.U.L.E. into a board game recently :)

I was saying not so to this statement and giving a recent example: > "Lack of a player elimination mechanic" is nearly ubiquitous in action games

by TheGRS 9y ago
Not so, PUBG is one of the most popular games right now and is based primarily around player elimination. Though they don't make you wait around to see the end of the match.

That seems more co-operative than competitive though.

by TheGRS 9y ago
Yep, I can't think of a competitive video game that does any of these things well. Maybe this is an untapped market? Twitch controls and player elimination are still huge with video games. Battle royale modes and MOBAs are very in, but

That was my first thought, but there is also a huge increase in the amount of activities kids do these days, with also an increase in parental participation. Marginal gains over the years have added up. i.e. campaigns to spend time with you

Anecdotally I discover about half of the youtube videos I watch through youtube's search (for things like tutorials), but the other big chunk is from other social media platforms like reddit, twitter and facebook (i.e. other people lin

I bought Windows 10 this year and if this is the sort of behavior I should expect from a Win OS these days then I'll probably just go to linux or even back to OSX.

by TheGRS 9y ago
Alright, I'm glad this is brought up. I am back on Windows 10 after being on OSX for years. For the most part its fine, but it does a lot of things that I just plain don't understand. I have no idea how to configure the little met

I think the host should very carefully consider what his employment will be like with HQ if he signs a longer-term contract, the founder seems prone to huge mood swings. They need to get a publicist pronto.

The frustration lately is that there are a number of relatively easy-to-implement policies that don't "take your guns away", like many of the ones you mentioned. Yet, since Sandy Hook nothing has been done and the mass shooti

Maybe I'm a little ignorant on how/why companies store this sort of info. Someone at work informed me that Target storing CC numbers at least made sense when you needed to make a return. But at a Sonic Drive-In? I'm not retur

Most security standards are voluntary right? Based more on market pressure than regulation. It looks like the Fed is considering a set of regulations for large banking entities, which I assume Equifax would be a part of, but AFAIK the exist

Some kind of surprising comments in this thread. I think many people (obviously not everyone here judging by what I'm reading) would happily pay for a Disney-only service, maybe upwards of $20-$30 per month. Why? Its the mecca for fami
