Here's the thing... alt-right is not a formal organization with dues and ID cards.
When you have a gather or "alt-right" people and one of the speakers literally quotes Hitler and does the Nazi salute while the crowd also does the Nazi salute, it makes it crystal clear that they are neo-nazis.
Hillary Clinton won 300 counties while Trump won 5000.
I think this exemplifies just well the states have been gerrymandered. Seriously, the majority of people vote for one person but the lose by a 3:50 ratio?
I love RISC-V, I really do but $50 for a chip in bad package is too much. Who can hand solder QFN chips?! $20 is really my limit for a chip of that caliber and it would need to at least be in a QFP package.
The reason stated for the QFN package was to achieve clock higher frequencies (160MHz) but really, 50MHz is enough.
Sure, you just have to follow the lead to the source.
Flynn broke rules he thought were stupid. He once told me about a period he spent assigned to a C.I.A. station in Iraq, when he would sometimes sneak out of the compound without the “insane” required approval from C.I.A. headquarters, in Langley, Virginia. He had technicians secretly install an Internet connection in his Pentagon office, even though it was forbidden. There was also the time he gave classified information to nato allies without approval, an incident which prompted an investigation, and a warning from superiors. During his stint as Mullen’s intelligence chief, Flynn would often write “This is bullshit!” in the margins of classified papers he was obliged to pass on to his boss, someone who saw these papers told me.
So this is information the reporter collected from sources which include Flynn himself. The question is if you believe the reporter and if you do, do you believe sources like Flynn.
There is no way to verify the integrity of the machines on voting day
Sure there is! The proper application of cryptography will solve these issues. Only allow signed firmware to run and have each machine have it's own key (stored in an MCU). On voting day after all the machines are put out, you use a simple NFC device to do an authentication exchange. If the authentication fails, then the machine has been compromised. It requires plenty of time and money to bypass the security of one device, much less thousands.
nor to safeguard the integrity of the polling data between the voting machine and the final tally.
Sure there is! You print the voter selection onto a card with some additional blockchain data. If the blockchain is broken upon tallying, you are missing votes or if some don't fit in the blockchain, you have fraudulent votes.
Open source means nothing here.
Sure it does! The idea seems to be to have Open Hardware and Open Software that can be publicly audited by anyone wishing to do so.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with a slip of paper and a pen.
Sure there is! It's called ballot box stuffing. All you need to do is write a bunch of votes and silly humans can't tell a real vote from a fraudulent vote!
Jill Stein is calling for recounts in three states where Hillary lost and not calling for recounts in New Hampshire, Minnesota & Nevada, three states where the results were even closer but in those states Hillary "won".
Correct because the states selected could change the outcome of the election. I think all states should have a recount but there isn't enough money to do that.
Somehow Stein has gained more money for recounts ($4.7 m) than she managed to raise in her entire campaign ($3 m), even though clearly no Stein supporter believes that she will pick up enough votes to win any state.
Because it's not about Stein, it's about the possibility that the election may have been stolen.
Gee Hillary, we wonder where all that money is coming from.
I actually had the same thought and considered that it's quite possible that people across the globe are giving money for this recount because they fear what Trump may do as president.
Toyota invented a research tool akin to a microscope for ion flows. This does nothing to improve battery life but rather enables them to observe the problems in our current batteries. While this will be a useful tool, it's important to remember that we have the tools to look at DNA but we haven't found the cure for cancer.
Why people keep ruminating about this is beyond me.
because this isn't just about this election, it's also about all the elections after this one. if one election was stolen, that's one thing, if every election is stolen, that's a total loss of democracy.
The best ballot system I've seen so far is computerized but it prints out a paper ballot which you can examine before you put it in a ballot box. This gives you the security of paper but also uniformity of computerized voting so that votes can be quickly scanned. Frankly, I wish there was a little bit of extra data encoded on the printout to prevent things like ballot box stuffing but it's still pretty good.
One reason you can build iPhones cheaply in China is because Chinese workers don't get the kinds of protections and rights that US workers do. That was part of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP): to raise the worker protections in China to level the playing field.
Sadly, I think that kind of agreement would has as much of an impact as the practical environmental protections that China passed into law... but refuses to enforce.
I'm sure cops will love this feature because they'll be able to use it to track groups of protesters anywhere. Naturally, they'll say they're doing something perfectly innocent like tracking potential gang members in the streets.
Honestly, I find it increasingly difficult to excuse people for using "smartphones" because they spy on everyone constantly.
Study results aside, Google returns search results that are most likely relevant and ranked by what people looked at in the past. This means, if the first 8 results are no good and everyone clicks (and stays at) on the ninth result, it will make it's way toward number one. Liberal or conservative, these are the pages people looked at the most. It could be more liberal people use Google or maybe conservatives are seeking out results they disagree with but that's not really important. What is important is that Google is simply returning the results that people are seeking.
If you don't want to Google meddling in your affairs, do not use any of their services. However, the real security issue here is the baseband processor. To my knowledge, they are all closed source though there is an implementation of a open source one. That said, if you want to avoid being spied on, you shouldn't carry around the most sophisticated piece of surveillance equipment that man has ever created.
Coal is the least efficient and highest polluting method of power generation in the commercial market and everyone should be trying to eliminate it everywhere on the planet. If there was ever one method of power generation to eliminate, it's coal power.
the lack of a CDM specification was an intentional action by the companies currently drafting the EME for the express purpose of creating hardware dependance. While the EME does not preclude a system agnostic CDM specification, the companies drafting the EME have a vested financial interest in preventing it. If it's too late in the process to add a CDM specification, then the EME should be withheld from the approval process until an accompanying system agnostic CDM specification is approved.
This has already had real consequences.
Due to the lack of a proper CDM specification, Microsoft was able to make deals with major content providers to require Microsoft Playready 3.0which uses a CDM that only works on a few browsers, only on Windows platforms and only if you have the latest Intel or AMD CPU. This is also the reason why Linux computers cannot view 4K videos on Netflix website. The only Linux computers that can view 4K content are SmartTVs made by companies that paid Microsoft.
I do love automation, I really do but EMTs are an essential part of ambulances. Something flying like this would need to be able to carry at least 1000 pounds before it could really be useful. Also, I'm not really comfortable with leaving emergencies in the hands of autonomous machines because of the unpredictable nature of emergent situations.
"if you don't have the unique business model that allows you to extract money from users on top of the free functionality, in the end you're going to fail... a lot of open source companies have come and gone because they've been more focused on the functionality versus how extract money from users."
Red Hat has managed this is by replacing things that worked with "better" versions that mostly worked, so you would pay for their support for when it breaks.

Good work. An argument straight out of the manual
You should read about what they are actually doing. Doing the Nazi salute in all seriousness is a pretty good sign they are neo-nazis.
In this quote, replace "Flynn" with "Jack Bauer" or "Carrie Mathison" and tell me it truly sounds like incompetence.
Those are fictional characters and this is real life. The real life consequences of his actions may have resulted in real damage to national security.
Everything else in the summary is conjecture.
