While it's a concern, this is also a weakness of the existing absentee ballot. (Or they can just demand you hand over the ballot and do it themselves.) See also: some organizations holding "lets all get together and fill out our ballots together; there will be cake" "voting parties". Also, cell phone cameras exist. And while voting-booth selfies are usually not allowed, it'd be difficult for the voting judges to catch someone taking a quick snapshot. The person just has to be nearby enough to make sure you then don't spoil the ballot and ask for a re-do before scanning it/dropping it in the box.
But still, yeah, never internet vote. Not even once. Other methods don't scale well. To use a fraudulent identity, for each single vote someone would be re-breaking the law, in person, and re-risking getting caught. But with internet voting it just takes one success and they can get a tremendous number of votes, and be far away in the process.
But the same material variability argument could be made for any alloy, including the steel/etc they use today.
Besides, if you really want to get paranoid about a new processes, you can do things like print test coupons along side the unit(s) being manufactured in the same fabrication run. Then do chemical, impurity, etc. tests on those test coupons that were laid down at the same time as the 3D part. Do this for EVERY batch until you are convinced it is reliable. Circuit board designers do this all the time: coupons are created that can be destructively tests to ensure the copper and fiberglass were assembled/etched/pressed within tolerances.
Hasn't Linus at this point admitted that globally 100% reliable unloading of linux kernel modules is impossible? It can work most of the time but no guarantee that someone else's poorly made module isn't holding a pointer to your kernel memory _somewhere_ no matter how airtight you make yours. Only sure way is to reboot. Unlike say MINIX.
My CC credit union outsources its fraud investigation. So I get a cold call from a company I don't recognize, asking me to confirm my identity and CC info, from a phone number that isn't on the back of the CC, in order to confirm some activity.
I hang up, call my credit union from the # on the card, and they confirm that the company was legit and give me the number to call back. Turns out the original call was real. The last thing I say to them is that they are conditioning their customers to respond to cold-calls claiming to be a fraud department--not wise for an actual fraud prevention company.
If e-file is blocked you paper file. It takes several affidavits and certified mail and some phone calls, not 100s of hours and court. Though in my case they sent ME the initial "we think something's hinkey with your return" letter before I had even tried to file. I did have to wait 6 months from April to get the check in the mail.
What annoys me is that the IRS reps always give you a condescending tone about getting your taxes in early, because first-through-the-gate wins. They ignore the fact that fraudsters are making up the filing data and don't have to wait for the actual W2 to get sent out. It's February and I'm still waiting on some 1099s to finish my paperwork.
I'm a bit scared now because their PIN system was down last Nov/Dec, and when I tried to get in early January after it was back up an account had already been made and PIN accessed but I have no memory of signing up. I was able to "recover" the account. The lady on the phone with IRS insisted I just forgot I had done it already (impossible) and insisted there was no way I was hacked and recommended AGAINST voiding the PIN and getting a replacement--which is apparently a PITA for them and a huge delay to file. "Just file early" she said.....
I didn't think either of the barge failures were due to the relative motion of the landing site? Wasn't one insufficient hydraulic fluid in an open-loop system, the other a sticking valve not responding quickly enough and making the control loop unstable?
It's basically the soletta from Red/Green/Blue Mars (and probably other earlier references too) only focused the other way. You don't even need to cover the whole sun, just need to reflect away a small % to make a difference in the heat balance equation. A small shade in the middle, or a ring that covers just the perimeter, or a distributed/swarm solution.
We're nearing the point that just solving the C02 problem isn't enough due to the "in the pipeline" heat budget already on its way. Looking for GeoE solutions is mostly a matter of deciding that the amount of heat rise we'll coast to isn't acceptable even if we drastically reduce C02. Fast CO2 cut-off vs. more GeoE to give ourselves more time probably depends on politics as much as economics, unfortunately.
You are being sarcastic. But the mistake the advocates make is assuming that the machines must both assist humans in filling out the ballot, and recording that ballot. Machines are good at the former (input validation, audio UIs, etc.) and outputting something that doesn't rely on human handwriting/chad-punching. But the latter requires too much trust in something uninspectable. Instead just use the machines to make error free ballots, which are kept as a paper trail, and tallied just like the ballots of yore were.
Or better yet, feed the ballots into two+ independently built/owned/designed counting machines and investigate if the answers are ever not 100% in agreement, if you want your results faster. You can even go back and hand count later in an audit.

Some of the confusion is that the original description is defined recursively in a way that 'c' only shows up once, and the initial value is not c. z[i] = z[i-1]^2+c. But because z[0] is defined = 0, you can effectively rewrite the sequence in terms of just 'c' starting from the second. The downside is that at first it might LOOK at first glance like the previous term is being added, which is why I like the recursive form.
Also, by not starting from 0 you miss out on a cool connection: for a given fixed C, the graph of convergence for non-zero choices of z[0] over the complex plane gives you a Julia Set. With the neat property that Julia Sets from C inside the Mandelbrot set are fully connected and Julia Sets from C outside the Mandelbrot Set are sparse disconnected Cantor spaces.
But what objective did they achieve? They didn't get a new customer in him. They created headache and strife out of incompetence that didn't gain themselves anything in the process. If anything, telling him the truth would have caused him to look elsewhere for a home and become a (happier) customer all the faster.
So what you are saying is that any law infraction justifies any punishment of any magnitude? Heads; pikes; walls? Don't go playing catch near flowerbeds on alien planets.
And the guy who sits next to those other people you are constantly coordinating and discussing issues with? The guy who needs to concentrate hard on a one-man project? He is freaking hating it, and by extension, you. Headphones don't eliminate all distraction cues. And you know what? You'd still be able to do your collaboration shtick in cubicles or offices by walking up to folks when you need to.
Open plan might work for some places, but its a fad being adopted by managers following trends without evaluating if they truly make sense for their shop.
That depends on the board design. If the MoBo designer didn't balance the copper density well top-to-bottom it will warp the whole damn thing as if it were a thermostat. Technical term is "potato chip-ing" the board. Seeing as how the initial problem occurred under temperature loads bad design isn't outside the realm of the possible. Or they cheapped out and used thinner copper layers that didn't spread the heat evenly enough laterally. (Though as others have pointed out it may be something INSIDE the chip packages not the MoBo. Also 340F isn't enough to melt solder, particularly lead-free.)
Of course nowadays the question one-level-up from that might be "Where can I get a Sears & Roebuck catalog?" to which the answer is amazon.com, funny enough.
But then the question just becomes "where can I buy a vernier caliper?". It's not like they had amazon.com either, and I doubt it was in the Sears & Roebuck catalog.
No, we should make our acceptance of [the existence of] the problem not be conditioned on (proposed) solutions. You are free to propose other solutions, and the choice of _which_ solution often politics and opinion. It's a variation of "everyone is entitled to their own opinion, not their own facts."

That's OK, after your gloves are stolen just make sure to reset to a new fingerprint quickly.
Wow, such insanity. Clearly Pokémon Go is promoting a Lamarckian Theory of Evolution, not a Darwinian Theory of Evolution.
Geeze, what happened to those 0.1" jumpers? Looks like they melted. Did someone accidentally the soldering iron on them?

13% of 20 is 2.6, not 1.3. Puts the stats a few more sigma off.

Perhaps chips are worth significantly more than $1? So the quantity of winnings shrunk significantly between midpoint and end?

Sounds like they have their priors confused with their posteriors.
