Security audits and supervisors from all parties in all steps for starters.
The voting machine prints a total for that machine at the same time that the votes are transferred to the central counting, this process is public, the supervisor from each party get a copy of the total, and one copy is publicly affixed at the voting place, so parallel aggregating from the partial counts is possible (and has been done by sampling).
Internal counting on the voting machine is somewhat validated by picking random voting machines out of the voting places and conducting a parallel voting, publicly broadcasted, on which known amount of votes for each candidate are input and the result from the machine is compared to the expected. Only thing missing that I can think of is actually doing this parallel voting on the same time and place the voting was expected to take place.
It is worth noting that some “nations with fewer scientific resources” provide their students and researchers broad access to scientific papers through their public universities and research institutions. That part of the article seems to be affirming the autor’s prejudice without a shred of confirmation
The same site sugests hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is a viable terapeutic option (hcqmeta.com). For all I know the scientific consensus is that HCQ is not useful for treating COVID-19. This seems like pseudoscience stemming from cherry picked data/papers with its weakness hidden behind complexity and the large amount of references.
n.b. I have not delved deeply into the claims or the sources
This is a distributed movement, some people have been holding the stock for over an year+, others bought into it on the past few weeks.
There are people who bought it as a meme stock, when it was relatively stable, as the devaluation from the market transition towards digital media had already mostly been factored into the price. Steam is not a new thing, after all. The fundamentals at the time supported the price, in hindsight it was about the lowest price the share has ever been at[1].
The CEO change precipitated other people to buy into the fad. This combined with the short overexposure counterbalanced the speculative attack from the hedge funds.
The irony of manipulating markets against market manipulators is delicious.
This will also punish over exposed players who are probably reviewing their short positions as this unfolds.
Those fees are in a contract between the merchant and the acquirer, which is fully under EU law, therefore, if the fee cap is on all transactions, it should apply to everyone, wherever they are.
I don't understand how does the location of the buyer affects the processing fees, unless either it is a more complicated issue involving all merchant, acquiring bank and issuing bank, or EU law explicitly caps transaction fees between EU citizens and EU companies, leaving out all international sales.
my isp has a built in public (captive portal) wifi network that I can't turn off. They use it to provide wifi hotspots all over the country. rf shielding is a non destructive mod I can do to block the rogue wifi
Correlation will hold between unique hashes and unique visitors to access increase in unique visitors for your campaign. Even the percentage of these accesses that are returning is likely constant. All you would be giving up is the ability to measure variation in the returning percentage across several days (even so you could probably modify the code to change the salt every x days without losing much of the privacy benefits)
There will always be value to be extracted from the invasion of your users' privacy, but you also hit diminishing returns over this increasingly invasive probing. Plausible is aiming for "good enough" whilst respecting people's privacy, and that is a good compromise IMHO.
There is a trade-off. You will never get 100% of the information without all the tracking, but there is information that represents more bang for the privacy buck.
Would you not have a acceptable error increase in your decisions with a bit less information and a lot less privacy invasion?
EDIT> I think more control to the user is better, so instead of canvas fingerprinting, shady cross-site tracking and all, I would rather have a uuid that my browser informed, but that I controlled, so I could be anonymous when I want to and be tracked when I don't care, or when I genuinely agrees it adds value.
keep an eye on that list, the last seen column should tell you if this is current of ancient activity, if he/she is seeding, correlating this with times your roommate is home (or his/hers pc on) should give you a good idea of whether this is him/her or someone else sharing your IP. Another such file coming up on that list is a strong indicator as well, and could help you even if he/she is no longer seeding. Keep in mind that remote control of a torrent client is possible. If you control the router you could try getting a new IP. All this without downloading the actual file
searching for "CADT" syndrome yields better results in both search engines.
As of now, the best resource (https://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html) is avaiable on both search engines as the first result for this query, and somewhere in the first ten or so results for "CADT Syndrome". The best set of results (for my Google history) is in Google's verbatim mode searching for "CADT syndrome" (the link under the search bar with the autocorrected version) which includes mailing lists and release notes from various opensource projects
interestingly there is also another meaning of CADT (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4610895/) which is less favored in google, but shows second place in ddg. Perhaps if we were into medicine papers this would show up higher in google.
The article touches upon but does not elaborate on one of the main reasons open designs grew in popularity: money. Increasing population density drives the cost per square meter up and having a dedicated home office, dining room, etc becomes too expensive. Sure you can have lots of rooms if you have the space, but try to cram a family of four in 50 square meters with all these environments and you end up with tiny rooms. A solution would be, as stated on the last paragraph, multi-purpose rooms (e.g. guest bedroom with office)
Off topic: this article is like a fly trap for people who comment without reading the article.
For open source community projects a better bet than a bespoke case would be aiming for the form factor a a popular watch movement, so that hackers can chose to buy or build a bespoke case.
Even worse, in the same source basic concepts have multiple definitions, partially overlapping, partially contradictory.
This is exactly why I believe C-level officers are grossly overpaid. Previous success does not guarantee future success, especially in different industries, hence they don't know some magic formula to make his salary * 1000 in profits for the shareholders anymore than a mid level manager does.
I don't believe users will lose this arms race. I don't have hard data, but from what I observe in various circles is that the Zeitgeist is that the user/consumer attention is valuable, content is cheap, so put up barriers and the user will bounce
The sad part is that this commoditization of content ends up affecting the quality content, that will probably end up becoming a niche market. Charge per content and the user will bounce, charge per month and you have to be the biggest because of network effects (try recommending a series from Amazon Prime to someone who subscribes to Netflix)
There is a trend to use ads disguised as content ("People are using this secret trick to earn mad $$ in [oddly specific location, close to you]"), or intertwined with content that is yet immune to ad blocking(like ads in the middle of youtube videos/podcasts), but that has a higher production and negotiation cost, it will probably not be a market as big as ad networks.
EDIT: Just remembered about ads on smartphone apps which are a viable option due to the lack of user control over hardware and software. There are some solutions, but these are much harder than installing a browser extension and thus not as widely adopted.
