Gotta be careful agreeing with crazy people online on lemmy today.

We’d just be omitting the implied “Doesn’t” from the middle.

I’m not sure how that would fly in the states of Al Obama and Flo Rida.

Dinner, when lunch, is not tea, but may well include tea.

They hooked some scientists up to some electrodes, picked the ones that glowed the brightest, and then made them take an IQ test. The AI scored higher. Some have suggested the scientists may have scored higher if they were removed from the electrodes first.

Gross profits. Because they can absolutely manipulate the net. And do.

or like twenty cumulative minutes of fiery pain (carolina reaper).

For a single reaper, sure. For the entire container of them that’s probably at least the rest of your day ruined.

One of them chopped finely in a stir fry is fine, but only if you’re looking to eat something actually hot. For a crock pot full of a chilli meat/bean sauce, one reaper and a couple of bhut jolokia is about right for a nice medium heat.

You may not be able to vote with a ballot, but don’t forget to vote with your dollars.

I’m pretty sure a mix of the most and least shitty people on reddit have already migrated.

They’re still obligated to pay US taxes if they’re US citizens. Other countries with different tax policies I can perhaps get behind that somewhat, though.

Yes, which is one of the many many reasons I’ll never be a billionaire (unless the currency devalues by more than three orders of magnitude).

Looks like Apple should have made sure their precision engineered hinge was also accurate engineered.

So China has already gotten ahead of the US on AI…

And not paying workers.

So, they will override his veto

That depends on whether the Democrats win every senate seat that’s contested this year. If not, they’ll probably need some fence crossers in the senate to reach the two thirds majority to override the veto.

Sure, but the fast unofficial result is what leads to a quick victory being declared for the wrong person, and then “they’re stealing the votes, stop the count” when the results “change” from what was on the TV.

That’s caused by partial result announcements. Which would still happen with or without voting machines, given the way your elections are run. You could change that, but you probably won’t. Especially given you’d end up with conspiracy nonsense (“but what are they hiding?!?”) if you waited for the complete and official numbers - especially with the instant gratification people are programmed for these days. So damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

The legibility and consistency (and potentially streamlining voter throughput at the polls) is probably the much more important part, anyway. Not necessarily to the point of voting machines being a reasonable expense, I’d suggest, but the voting machine company lobbyists are effective if nothing else.

Florida, unless he has two cases against the BBC.

A fast unofficial result, and a legible and consistent printed ballot to be counted.

tl;dr voting machines will always be a mistake.

As long as there’s a physical ballot that gets checked by the voter as part of the process and then physically counted for the official result, voting machines can be a non-mistake.
