It’s a very late reply but here I am.
Your comment is very interesting and thanks for typing it. After a bit of reflection I think you’re right.
I learnt a bit recently about the Bush/Al Gore election in the US and how Florida votes were handled. Thanks Climate Town for throwing me down that rabbit hole.
It shook my confidence quite a bit especially about how automated systems often fail to handle edge cases and how it can create problems down the line.
The second stomach ig? 👍
People barf from binge eating stuff? :o
It was a joke but thanks for the very detailed answer which I wholeheartedly agree with.
Closed source systems suck, they just allow for vulnerabilities to go unchecked. I’m a big proponent for open source solutions.
Otoh physical items with loads of people involved are indeed harder to tamper with. A viable electronic solution should imho still include those people and physical trails as a backup.
Never fully trust a treacherous computer :p
They straight up remove the front part of your head.
Which is why being Trump’s foe ain’t a bad thing.
Trudeau kinda is one of Trump’s foes though, isn’t he?
That’s a message I can stand with.
Sorry for projecting that on you.
It would even deserve to be some kind of royal rumble format!
I agree that “either” is more specific. And I don’t mind being reminded of it.
Otoh “any” is defined as ∃ x and every definition I found explicitely specified that cardinality is irrelevant. Either then is a subset of any, not a separate category.
So imho this isn’t a mistake and you’re way more unconditional than you should.
PS: as long that everyone remains sufficiently mutually understandable we should adopt a descriptivist attitude towards languages instead of a prescriptivist one.
PPS: Don’t get me started on language as a class marker. This is a threat. c:
How would you categorize masochism as not sex? :o
It should’ve been some kind of extreme badass death match deluxe: nobody gets out of the cage while any one of them is still breathing.
Often most of those at the same time.
I could have said The Shining :p
Happy Feet. (the sequel obviously)
This is important activism. Thank you for doing it and sharing some insights.
afaik here in France we use paper ballots and physical collection. Which is quite nice after thinking about it a bit.
What is your opinion on automated solutions being used as an aid for human workers iff it doesn’t replace them?
Same if they’re used only as a secondary check not a primary counting method?
PS: I’ll try to raise awareness around me.
