Wish the AMA would get their shit together and do the same

Yeah, not the best case, but probably the best we could hope for given the alternatives and that they were literally fleeing into the crowd.

You're thinking about the voting problem wrong, specifically not including all of the requirements

The algorithm isn’t a black box like you’re saying, it’s fully auditable and decentralized so any fuckery is immediately visible.

Their point is that even in this system, there is both a small and finite number of people who are skilled enough/qualified enough to perform that audit. I'm not sure I've got the math to be able to validate a blockchain transaction by hand without referring to a (potentially tainted) source repo. There's a world where blockchain voting can solve this problem, but the competing requirements make it the less-optimal solution compared with paper voting.

Specifically, there are 3 potentially competing requirements for a secure voting system in a functioning democracy:

  1. Votes must be accurately recorded and tallied
  2. Votes must not be attributable to any specific individual
  3. Votes must be auditable for an arbitrary amount of time

Blockchains, potentially, optimize the voting problem for #1 while introducing explicit exposure in #s 2 and 3, while paper ballots optimize for 2 first, then 3.

No, they were people who were associated with the march organizers who were looking out for people doing a terrorism.

That effort was intentionally sabotaged after Lincoln's assassination. So there's that.

Title assumes the current reality changes to one where stupid shit still happens but it's not always "And then it got worse" (lmao)

 

Finally got around to replacing the battery in my Razer Nari headset, after years of it only lasting <1 hour on battery power. Couldn't get the soldering with my old iron after over an hour of fucking with it, got frustrated and went to home depot at 8:30 at night to get an iron that isn't older than I am and one of those little clip holder things. Took less than 10 minutes to put the last 2 wires on with a functional tool. Got a new multimeter too. Forgot to take pictures of the completed job though, my bad.

It's turning off during charging occasionally which i think means the first 2 connections might be fucked up, so i might go back and fix those and install the USB-C port I bought for it this weekend.
