Portland state university came up with a "Pay it forward" Idea, whereby everyone would get some free tuition but pay a percentage of their post-graduation salary. Which probably just means stick the STEM grads with the bill. But you never know, some theater major may become the next Kardashian and fund everything.
It seems that the real role of the parties is to distort the will of the people. Either by manipulating congressional districts, by suppressing voter turnout or, now, by influencing what media dare to publish.
Maybe in the future more can be done to make one vote equal, say, 0.0004% of a congressman everywhere in the country and the first amendment be honored
The link you posted clearly shows that (a) this does not happen often and (b) many of the frauds are not perpetrated by ineligible voters. Your own reference data show you to be spouting BS.
I would be careful about waving that flag around until you get some idea of who could vote over all those years. Disenfranchisement is indeed the name of the game.
I would like to see additional more restrictive gun laws and have drawn the ire of many here for my anti-gun pronouncements in the past, but this seems to me to be a 1st amendment issue plain and simple; they should be allowed to publish.
I hate hearing the argument from the pro-publish group that 3d printing is crude and ineffectual for producing guns, they make it sound as if they would be happy to withdraw their support if 3d printing were better and of course that is baloney
Why does the notch have to be near the speaker and the mic. When I rotate the phone what were once sides are now top and bottom, it's just a short fat phone.
Better open source programmable logic support and better devices would spur a great leap forward. icestorm is a great effort but it is limited to devices that seem elderly and affordable field programmable devices don't seem to be advancing very quickly.
they have had no success with sensible approaches and they have infinite amounts of money to waste. They may as well track people at random until they build up the capability to dedicate 3 armed undercover agents to every traveller (including the other undercover agents). They are bound to get results this way eventually, it's like investing your 401k in lottery tickets. I thought the planes were getting crowded, seems these are not fellow travellers after all.
And why are there not power-hungry businesses flocking in to take advantage of the cheaper electricity. It's not as if they can't build batteries for themselves to even out the flow in exchange for lower pricing. For that matter one would think that homes and offices or even small communities would be funding small scale batteries to cut electricity costs. I could see there being all sorts of ways that the utility could incentivize others to make this kind of investment. It might even boost grid security
There are externalities though - people who become so dependent that they are a drain on society and families to take care of them. I'd like to see a drug policy that is tuned to minimize misery rather than maximize fear.
what does he mean by "not for long" ? does he mean a couple of years until we get a new president, or was this a total surprise to the US government such that he could not have shown off his deal-making art and nixed it before now ?
Why does it even have an operating system. It's not as if it needs to be able to double as a word processor or run the occasional spreadsheet. It is a single purpose device that could run a fairly simple state-machine, a few hundred lines of C.
There may well be a complex system that loads the ballot rules into it, but after that its job is just to accept input on some push buttons, light a few lights, spit out a little record on its serial port to a printer and move on.
Hell, its "display" could be just a few OLED character displays and a see-through panel that has a printout of the ballot placed behind it.
Read the ballot through the glass, toggle the light next to your choices or press the "write in button" and use a keyboard to enter your own option, mash the "vote now button" and review your choices in the window that lets you see the last couple of inches of the printout, press the "confirm button" and take your voting receipt while the printout scrolls up to hide your ballot from the next voter.
Maybe add a few bells and whistles to indicate that it is ready to accept a vote and has not run out of paper
ie- the direct digital analogy to the old punch-out ballots with a quick count available from the machine's memory and a hard copy audit trail
It could even have an "audit port" to allow a separate auditing system from a different vendor to validate that the info sent to the printer matches what the voter entered

It might be better if the representation followed the number of ballots cast - have states turn out the vote if they want more power.
What evidence do you have of vote fraud being quite common ? Perhaps you should share it with the federal government as they seemed unable to find it.
so is "datas" the plural now ? How long before the plural becomes datases ?
Look for the places where there are apparently never any soldiers...
They took longer to savor the experience with a bottle of chianti and some fava beans

3d printing will get better

I don't see why you couldn't write out a receipt. My local plumbing store hand-writes one out for me even when the power is on.
No - everyone can sleep safely, all crime will be a thing of the past
well written

Slashdotted ! Ha, well played... I have to wonder if it was all bona fide customer demand that toppled it though.

Non gun-owners are just upset because the foreign infiltrators won't sleep with them..
But so many things have been stumbled upon - like Saccharine. The really fancy version of AI would suggest possible uses for whatever it creates.

This only works if the phone has an eSATAp connector to plug the internet drive into.
If only there were some kind of numerical indicator on this kind of thing that could be used to alert an amazon staffer to check it out.
