Most states use paper ballots that are then run through electronic tallying machines. This process is completely auditable. This is how people lying about the 2020 election were able to do all of their sham audits in Arizona and Wisconsin.

Electronic ballot-tallying machines are necessary to running accurate and speedy elections. As we saw in the Arizona fiasco with the "Cyber Ninjas," hand-counting ballots takes weeks, if not months. Additionally, hand-counting has

This is on the same level as designing doors that are supposed to open with a button but shame your passenger and supposedly damage your seals if they use the highly obvious and intuitive latch instead of the button that looks like a window

The inclusions of "Blackest Black 3.0" is just beautiful. I hope the Hex is `-1-1-1`. Or maybe it sucks brightness from the pixels around it.

Well, not just any. All of the dorms had access controls. Some of the business school buildings and floors had access control. There was a somewhat-noted case in the late aughts of MIT campus hackers (tunnel, shaft, and crawlspace-explorers

This is really sad to me. Part of the MIT experience was living and studying in the middle of a giant tourist attraction. I have classmates who were literally asked to be in pictures just because they were MIT students. Since graduating, ev

Just to be clear, because it's in the title, the reporter was threatened with a lawsuit for looking at source code. I cannot find anyone acually sued for it. BTW, here's an article saying said reporter wasn't sued: https:&#x

I believe it is an allusion to a speech by the Methodist pastor David Barnhart: "The unborn” are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, add

Archimedes Banya in South SF is a wonderful Russian bath house. There are 4 or 5 saunas of varying types, two hot tubs, a warm pool, and a cold plunge. I've been going there for at least 6 years now and it's always been fantastic.

There's a huge difference between saying, "LGBT people are people," and "LBGT people should be shunned out of existence." Words have meanings.

I'm finding the text block with an overall left-to-right gradient surprisingly hard to read. Continuing from the end of one line to the beginning of the next takes more effort than it should. I'm guessing it's the abrupt chan

There were two Republicans in the race and one was Sarah Palin. People in Alaska have strong opinions about her, especially after she quit the governorship half-way through to go be a reality TV actor. There were many GOP voters that chose

I think it's mostly because of how aggressive and one-way tesla is. My 6-year-old volt can probably get firmware updates over the air, but I've never stepped into my car to discover that the emergency blinkers are now hidden, the

I have goats. They are picky eaters. They know what they want and what they don't. They will strip most trees and bushes to the branch. They will eat most grass, but not if it's too tall or has gone to seed or is too dried out. An

Lawrence Berkeley National Labs uses goats to tame the brush on the steep slopes surrounding the campus (over 45 degrees in many places). More than once I've had to wait on a bus for the herd of goats to transition across the main acce

"Would like to" is doing a whole lot of heavy lifting here. I'd argue that a large fraction of people live not where they "would like to," but where they can afford.

About 10 years ago, spf13-vim showed me what vim could be and changed my coding life forever. I finally ejected it and spun my own .vimrc a few years ago, but I wouldn't be where I am today without it. Thanks a bunch!
