"The first installation will be"

It also hasn't been built yet. Let me know when they have one working prototype. Until then, it is just a concept on a drawing board.

If 100000 people want to cast an argument into the void, they can do that. It doesn't harm any other discussion going on elsewhere on the site. I'm posting this comment beneath a flagged/dead comment in an article labeled [dupe] and I'm okay with that.

This is the same method as Georgia using Dominion machines. The printed paper has human readable text including the candidate's name and party so it can be verified by the voter.

It also included a QR code that I couldn't read (phones not allowed in the voting area) and don't know what it is for. I'm hoping that it doesn't tie a voter's identity to the printed ballot (that would violate privacy of secret ballot). If it is just a machine-readable copy of the human-readable to make it easier for the computer to read the paper for a recount, it would have been better to just let the computer OCR from the human-readable text. That would make it verifiable by the voter that the machine-readable QR code matches what the voter actually intended. If the human readable text isn't what the recount uses, then it doesn't really help.

But I don't know if that is what the QR code was even about, which is why I really wish it wasn't present.

> gets flagged cause of a few snowflakes got their feelings hurt

correction: some guy got his wallet hurt.

It is clear to me that monied/political interests are on every platform, including this one.

hmm, I'm not seeing anything that can be described as "inertia". Not on chromium either. Both of these are on a laptop with dragging the side scrollbars and using the up/down arrows on the keyboard.

Is this something that is related to a touch screen? I'm not using a touch screen.

Normally, I am the first to complain about broken websites, but it looks fine for me on Firefox on a laptop. Scrolling works normal using up-down arrow keys and dragging on the side scrollbar. There is an unnecessary effect with the 3D diagram, but it doesn't interfere with the site. How are you viewing it?

Curious why the comment by the poster got flagged but not the full post. I like when the poster includes a comment describing the content and reasons why he liked it.

I got curious when you mentioned "google play store apocalypse", but I can't seem to find a comment of yours on the topic today. Would you be willing to post a link?

If it is more than just the one guy, it could also mean that they are expecting the AI to kill them before the cancer does.

So basically the same as "woke".
