I did read the article, albeit poorly as I must have: skipped past that section by mistake -or- read it while distracted but either way MITRE seemed brand new to me when I read it in the comment.

>Can you explain why the private vote only works when all votes are anonymous? As you alluded to further down, if it is not illegal for people to publish a photograph of their ballot or a recording of their vote submission - then they ca

I agree plausible deniability may guard against political coercion, but only when all votes are anonymous - that is not the case. The ability to vote in private should be a protected right in a democratic society. I’m referring to citizens

What’s the implication being made, is it that Dominion won? As far as I’m aware: Fact: the machines are flawed Fact: Judge ruled Fox had made false statements which harmed Dominion, sent Fox’s level of culpability to be weighed by the jury

I’m not ready to abandon representative democracy, but I agree technological advances have made a more direct democracy system sound feasible. I’m in the US where the design rules stated congressional representatives were never to exceed a

On your last point, if you voted and in which elections is already public record. Government has a pretty good idea who you voted for and can and already does this to the extent they can get away with it. >You can’t have a democracy wit

I don’t think it would be legal to do that (record). EDIT: It’s illegal, GA 21-2-413. I’m not sure how the validation works, but I assume that there is an identifier in the QR code, and it likely doesn’t have plaintext candidate names so I’

It would seem that root access to the ICX BMD’s running android 5.1.1 would provide sufficient privileges to cover one tracks, I’d assume state level attackers would have the required knowledge to do so.

Are you open to eliminating the secret ballot? I would be, I think the verifiably and integrity of election results would be greatly improved by making voting records public, I see no easy way to do the same while maintaining ballot secrec

The section titled “Isn’t there a paper trail? Why is malware a risk?” explains a bit about this. The printout is read by QR code so it’s possible to list the correct selections but modify the QR code that gets read. It also addresses th

Fwiw, if you get a call from a debt collector and would prefer not to speak to them, tell them the call will be recorded and ask for their permission. It’s been some time since I’ve had this happen but I’ve been 6 for 6 on them not giving

Agreed. But there are much fewer people who pay for pornhub. Fewer who would buy a $3500 device just for a more immersive pornhub experience. I highly doubt these people are in apple’s target market.

Even if the designers valued tamper-resistance and/or direct control of the device over broad durability and/or protection against intentional vandalism? It seems burn out after being switched on and off repeatedly under load may

The expense of your desk motor burning out has a cap though. The expense of a utility controlling device not shutting off after intentionally being stressed/hacked is potentially very high and may require human intervention to detect,

One could argue the ability control power under load is a safety feature. What if they hardened the wireless attack surface and added a manual safety switch which could also be used to intentionally brake the device, would that be better?

Explode?!? Do you think people who don’t already pay for porn/sexual IOT devices/digital sexual pleasure content will start to enter this emerging market? Do you think the same customer base will drastically increase spending?

I’ve come to love powerline adapters when expanding Wi-Fi coverage just in case you haven’t looked into them. Speeds of the latest adapters are up to 2.4Gbps!

That’s what a disabling trigger on the steering wheel would be for, one of the reasons at least. There may be situations where I want to ensure it is off, such as in an environment where it has often detected false positives in the past.

Mostly from railroad land grants in the late 1800’s. Land along routes was checkerboard divided, odd lots stayed feds, even went to railroad companies.

An eye tracking feature would be nice if incorporated into the AEB where it could be set to only activate if I’m not looking at the road in front of me. This plus have a disabling trigger on the steering wheel and auto disabled if you punc

Yes a public access easement should suffice, similar to how beaches are defied in some areas, waterways usually are. But how big is reasonable? Is it for vehicle access and/or larger equipment or only human sized objects?

I wonder if it has to do with the sails. Reflection is annoying to their hunting? Illuminating areas or providing shadow cover to their prey somehow?

I was recently thinking about the potential failure modes of a worldwide sailing trip on a 60-80 ft vessel. Marooned by Orcas was not on the list… but it is now!

Interesting. While in high school, a friend and I sailed his boat to the Lake Erie islands for the weekend. On our return trip a storm came up on us very quickly, we headed for the closest harbor but got caught in the thick of it anyways.
