Hey guys, I built roads.fyi.

The goal is to give a transparent view on which roads need work, which are well maintained and the common issues. This will be help us allocate resources more efficiently.

Features:

1) Submit a a road report near you with details. Report can be positive, mixed or negative.

2) View recently submitted reports.

3) View a country wide or area wise leaderboard of roads. Hall of Fame shows the best roads, Hall of Shame shows the worst roads.

4) View details and frequency of specific issues (e.g., "Potholes", "Blocked footpath")

Please check it out and submit a report. Thoughts, feedback and bug reports welcome!

I agree with the risks, the overall theme being it's much easier to potentially manipulate a million internet votes than physical. In other worlds, internet vote manipulation scales significantly more than physical.

But I could make the argument with any high trust internet system.

Let's take another high trust activity we do on the internet - banking. Internet banking gives a hacker the ability to steal millions while sitting across the world. This is the same argument the authors make about changing a million votes.

So it really comes down to the pros vs cons. That's the more important discussion imo.

Do the benefits of internet voting outweigh the cons?

Flawed? Sure, although every language has its flaws, some more than others. Deeply flawed? Not really. Obsolete? Lol, what. It's top 3 most popular languages.

Theoretically possible, but (super super super) unlikely. I'd also think that when a user "permanently" deletes their data, it would still be on Google servers for a specified time (maybe a week?).

Again, all guesses. But if someone offered me a bet, I'd wager 1:10,000 that the data is permanently deleted. Extremely unlikely.

My guess would be they have multiple backups. I obviously can't say for sure since I don't work there, but it's very very good guess.

What / who do mean by "Sunny"?

I think OP means they used AI to create/code the app, instead of AI being used in the app.

I thought it was funny. Is this is no fun zone?

I don't understand your point. Yes, electricity is virtually all the TCO of the device (other than the upfront cost). Isn't that the case for any consumer electronic part - processor, memory, hdd, etc? That fact doesn't change any of what I'm trying to say.

My point is that this cost (of electricity) is negligible relative to two other costs - cost of time (in other words, cost of human capital), and the upfront cost of the device itself.

This is a response to your comment "Wait, why? Is it more important to organizations to wait a little less time, or to spend less money (on electricity)?"

Moreover, considering the cost of the card itself at $1,600, the electricity expenses become relatively minor. In fact, for the price of the card, you could operate it non-stop for two years. This highlights how the cost of electricity is a small factor in the overall picture.

The cost of electricity for running a single RTX 4090 a year: $800 (calculation below). Cost to the company of the median developer: $200,000.

Assume a 20 cent cost of 1 kWh, then a RTX 4090 with a 450W power draw for a year costs: 0.45 * 24 * 365 * 0.20 = $788.4

The cost of power (electricity) is much lesser than the cost of time.
