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

Could you share the metrics on which you as a BR are evaluated? Employee retention? Time to hire?

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.

This may, in fact, backfire in a couple of ways:
1. It may reduce societal pressure to isolate by making it seem only a minority of people are actually doing it (much like the broken windows theory)
2. It fuels distrust in media outlets. Deservingly so, even if machiavellianly this choice seems to serve the greater good.
