There isn't a mobile class edition of the Kalby Lake processor with four cores available. The 15" Pro has been quad core as long as I can remember. It was also only announced a few months ago.

Skylake processors were announced last year and the new laptop uses them. In fact, I believe the 15" BTO edition uses the fastest Skylake processor Intel makes.

Massive education of the consumer is where I think the weak point is.

Every aspect of our society minimizes or ignores the fact that our bodies need occasional attention. The public at large needs to be told the reality that maintenance is incredibly important. Getting teeth cleaned every 6-12 months, getting a colonoscopy at age 50 and every decade thereafter, getting your eyes examined every year or two - these should be seen as routine and just as expected as needing to mow your lawn or buy another gallon of milk. The idea that we don't need to budget for such things and just rely on "insurance" is asinine.

I encourage everyone I know to budget and save for predicable expenses, have savings, and only use insurance for catastrophic coverage.

O' how I despise the new trackpads that aren't merely trackpad pointing devices, but also buttons, scrollbars and other bullshit I never wanted too.

Christ. I need to move the fucking mouse cursor. And, shit on me, I did not intend on fucking clicking or swiping anything, or an other absurdly tangential but obliquely imaginable bullshit, God damn it.

The worst is when you have to press the trackpad to click the button, and as your fleshy fingers flatten out against the trackpad, it registers the pressure center moving slightly, and so the pointer moves, and you click the wrong God damned thing because the trackpad IS the button.

It was better when the buttons were separate plastic divisions disconnected from the motion tracking area.

I don't think that was true, though it could have been possible at the very beginning when the Cheyenne Mountain complex was being built in 1960. But I'm skeptical for a few reasons.

One is the infamous "missile gap," which Kennedy arguably used to help win the 1960 election. This was a belief that the Soviets had many more warheads and missiles than us, and was completely untrue. If this was the belief (at least as of 1959/1960), then it doesn't make too much sense to design an expensive "missile sponge" such as this.

With the introduction of long range bombers, sub launched missiles and land based ICBM's, each side had so many nukes by the 60's, that the Soviets could have dropped a hundred nukes on the mountain and they would still have enough warheads to drop on every decently sized American city. (in 1965, they had over 6000 warheads, by 1970 they had over 11,000 [1], it grew from there.) It's also worth noting that nuclear warheads/missiles both became much more powerful and more accurate during this time.

Another thing that makes me question this, is the book Command and Control that I mentioned earlier in the comments. From reading it, the author's thesis is that there was no true command and control up until the 1980's (and even then...) That's to say, it existed, but it had many problems such as difficulty of communications between each missile site/air base/sub, slow speed in communications, various organizations that were involved, lack of adaptability, and then have all of this happen while the country is being nuked. (Many of the things that modern telecommunications were designed specifically for, and have arguably solved, less the very important human element.) All of this is to say, a centralized place and system for a control hub was very necessary to both determine if an attack was occurring and how to respond to said attack.

I don't think it would have been a very effective warhead sink.

btw, with the Missile Gap, also check out the Bomber Gap. Yay American Military Industrial Complex, nothing like using a little bit of fear to make some money building unnecessary weapons of war and getting politicians elected to office! It's a win win!

The world has lost confidence in the Venezuelan government, and thus in its currency, and if the government adopted a currency it could not directly manipulate and had publicized inflation rates with trackable velocity and supply confidence would return.

The problem with a catch all blockchain solution is that if Venezuela itself just wrote a bitcoin clone, you would not solve any of the problems. In the same way that bitcoin proper has been hijacked by Blockstream ltd or how the developers of Ethereum decided to rewrite history, if it were the Venezuelan government implementing the cryptocurrency it would also be in their power to modify the protocol however they want, assuming they make their implementation the only officially sanctioned / legal one.

Even without that, many coins - btc, doge, and eth - have all proven how users simply abandon the money than try to fork a broken development process. It would be very unlikely you could mobilize the complacent mining network of a Venzcoin to switch to clients that fight against state manipulation rather than see the network slowly die off to corruption in the same way almost every cryptocurrency so far already has (~500+ historically, only ~10 at any given time actively trading).

I switched from SourceTree to Tower after the former started to feel excessively buggy and slow. Tower seems much more stable, plus I think some of its workflows are much nicer. In particular I really appreciate how easy it is to control commits line-by-line, which is something I need to deal with on most days.
I worked as an election judge in the 2012 general election in Arapahoe County, Colorado. We had these exact machines. What isn't pictured is the physical security performed with them.

Typically, tamper seals that are identifiable as broken are placed on all access doors (including the power switch, data load slots, etc), access panels, and openings on the device. All seals were verified in tact before and after the election, and no voter was ever permitted in the back of the access panel where the firmware update would take place.

Before the machine starts, it gives a "zero" report which is verified independently by poll watchers, and confirms candidate choices are in place as needed. When the polls are closed, we seal everything again before the machines are sent back for reporting (at which point the seals are checked and verified prior to dumping results).

If this was really a damaging hack, the protective counter & live counters would show different numbers than what the machine read, but that didn't happen. It very clearly was tampered with, which means these physical measures would counteract any unwanted firmware updates during an election. It's preposterous to think that election judges aren't actively verifying seals during election day and making sure nobody is tampering with them.

Easy patch: keep a security guard watching over physical machines, which should be the case anyway.

The same can be done with paper ballots. The trick with this article is that the perpetrator has full and unrestricted access to the building. If that were the case it wouldn't matter what the medium was, any of it can be hacked. They could throw cameras up in the booths, keyloggers, virii, etc.

You might be conflating currency with value. Nobody in the world trades in gold. Precious metals did have its hay day for hundreds of years, where coins were the most popular currency, but today nobody will accept gold or silver coins for anything, they want fiat.

Gold remains a tremendous store of value as a deflationary scarce resource. Bitcoin behaves exactly the same - the limited amount of gold, where demand grows as population grows but supply grows slower because it is a fairly limited resource barring occasional literal "gold mines" mimics bitcoin, where assuming network growth the supply curve is not changing to meet increased demand and thus the currency deflates against the dollar.

That isn't a viable or usable currency, though. Societies moved away from gold primarily because just hoarding gold in a vault was too viable a monetary strategy. Forcing transactions in an inflating money means just hoarding the money is losing wealth rather than growing it through deflationary scarcity, and when nations transitioned they saw significant economic growth as all the dead weight precious metals money started moving faster as paper (even under gold standard, every country was devaluating its currency against gold to print more, thus inflating it).

Bitcoin is a great store of value, for the most part. The Blockstream hijacking of bitcoin core, and the lack of any community movement to dealing with it, significantly tarnishes the long term potential. But having a deflationary cryptocurrency is not inherently bad - it just makes it inherently bad for day to day transactions, because the whole point of modern currencies is to inflate to pressure holders into spending it (either on consumption or investment) rather than hoard it to keep it moving in circulation.

I don't believe we actually have a good currency replacement cryptocurrency yet, because that money will take the form of something you don't want to accumulate because its monetary base expands, rather than contracts, over time to cause inflation and thus devalue the currency driving holders to actually spend it (outside volatile adoption demand that controls all the cryptocurrency prices today).

I think you commented on the wrong submission..
Exactly. You could tamper with most systems if you had that much physical access, including paper counts. Which is why there are procedures in place to minimize that potential.

Plus an attack like this would be isolated to the single machine (not that it wouldn't be bad, but it wouldn't be applied in a distributed fashion).
All I have to say is, look at our prison population vs any other country's.
That ... doesn't sound healthy, or productive. It is well established that there are diminishing returns to working longer hours on a task, even to the point of negative marginal utility. This is not true just for knowledge workers but, surprisingly, also held for factory workers during the industrial revolution. Not to mention the health impacts of spending so much time on a singular (soul crushing IMO) task.

Ok, in this event you need to recompile all services when a vulnerability is discovered in one of the dependent libraries; i suspect that this means that the system will not get updated in time - and that's not good at all. At least with shared libraries you can swap the so file - if the external interface has not been modified by the fix.

At least in Arapahoe County, everything we did was in pairs of republicans and democrats, to ensure that it was a fair election as far as we could. This included seal checking, logging the zero counts, etc. Everything had a paper audit trail for who interacted with what, who signed off on what, and what was going on.

I don't know how it worked when the machines were picked up for counting, but I assume similar measures were in place.

Edit: Also, poll watchers from both parties could observe our methods. Everyone had a vested interest in verifying that no tampering was taking place, even if that didn't include election workers.
I haven't actually tried it yet, but by watching the launch demo and several screenshots of touch bar on app like Photos or Final Cut Pro I can see that:

- Touch Bar is probably better on scrubbing/scrolling because you can actually see the zoomed out content, like the entire timeline of the movie on FCP.

- I haven't tried Boastr. I am sure it's useful and faster for pro. But on first look it's pretty complicated. It's not built in to the Mac and not easily accessible, especially for new user.

> It's preposterous to think that election judges aren't actively verifying seals during election day and making sure nobody is tampering with them.

I've been an election worker around the country and have never been in a jurisdiction that did seal checks during the election - only once at the beginning and once at the end. Granted, I've never been in a jurisdiction using DREs, but still.

I agree physical security is a defense here, but this just reiterates, to me, how dangerous DRE voting machines are.
Side question - how do these people interviewing at "a dozen or so places" manage it? Assuming most companies' interviews will force you to take a full day off work, and they will have different schedules and offer deadlines. Is there a trick to managing this that is eluding me? Even with taking a couple of weeks off it seems like it would be very difficult.
Is there any way you can prevent hacks like this that require physical access? I guess cryptographically signing the updates, adding tamper proof seals and requiring multiple people to approve updates would help. The general mantra however is that once a hacker has physical access to your machine all bets are off.

Also, what happens if there's a random hardware/software glitch where incrementing one vote actually increments 10 votes? Is this checked for? How much reliance is there on the software and hardware being error free?

We definitely have seals, but for technical solutions, look at how Apple secures their devices. Signed firmware updates, public key crypto, and a well thought chain of trust solve these issues.

The problem is that the actual poll creation is done on a per county basis. I don't know how you would do this in such a way that every random county an precinct in America could have signing keys, firmware updates, etc., just sitting around ready to roll to build elections with.

Yes. With paper ballots, cheating is at least detectable because there is literally a paper trail. With touch screens, maybe the results are correct, maybe the machine miscounted. There is no way to really know.
