A lot of talk about securing voting machines/verifying that they run the correct software. Why do we have to have physical machines? If it's electronic, surely a website would do if you have the correct means of ID?

NB: this is not an indication of which side I fall on the debate, it is an observation.

[EDIT] Also, I'm aware similar issues exist with a website, but it seems a lot of focus goes on the actual machine.

I second this anecdata. I carry an Amex (credit) and a Mastercard (debit) backup. I don't carry any cash unless I know I have an imminent need.

I pay for ironing, gardening, cleaning, and handyman services. Super useful and means I don't really need to do much housework other than cooking.

More accurately, Photobucket has a $399.99 tier, and this is the only tier which allows using them as a third party host for images embedded on other sites. Images belonging to an account that is not on this tier well get replaced with an image indicating the feature needs unlocking.

Part of the issue with the comparison you're making is that the station you mention likely know what they were publishing at each point in time. Facebook is facing a situation more like trying to remove flyers in a town where everybody is putting up 3 new flyers per day.

What type of questions do you mean?

Both "public school" and "private school" are used to refer to schools which require a fee to be paid.

> according to the law, you're no longer a threat

What part of the law specifically rules released prisoners as not a threat?

The polling trigger is a fairly common pattern from what I've seen to keep it hot.

I mean, I'd definitely take the money.

Is this the one that started to realise what was happening due to unpaid time on a machine amounting to 25c or similar?

Perhaps you should master the art of sword-fighting in this time instead?

Bad incidents, but I found the culture at the BBC to be fantastic 3-4 years ago.

Depends on the colleague, I have done that and similar many times previously and had similar back.

The comment is made, we laugh, he has his salad, I eat my burger, we moved on to something else.

I like the idea of the digital land data at the top of that page! Thanks for the reference.

"We will give people new rights to ensure they are in control of their own data, including the ability to require major social media platforms to delete information held about them at the age of 18"

Doesn't this mean that it is a choice, not a requirement to censor?

Which page are you referring to? I'd like to read but don't have time for the whole manifesto right now and I couldn't find it!

I'd be very interested in how that would play out in a court. My gut instinct would be that there is a distinction between consenting to send voice data to a named company and conversations being deemed public. Of course, my profession is not in the legal domain.

Would that not still be different? The public doesn't have access to El Goog's recordings, so surely a warrant would still be needed as that precedent would not apply?

I have one, it's convenient and lets me control my home in what feels like a natural way. Personally, I don't see the downside of having it.

Note; I mean I don't acknowledge a downside from my perspective. I'm fully aware that it's always listening and sending data home when it hears a keyword. According to Google, it will only send voice data back when it hears the keyword. Now if it explicitly goes against its own stated privacy policy, that's a breach of trust I would not be happy with. That said, if they explicitly stated they send all audio back, I'd actually be fine with that too.

It's more of "I knew how to get into any Windows PC by sending someone to a website, but it's already been patched"

Much less desirable.

Opta powered the BBC football and most other sports stats, at least while I was there a few years ago.

Obviously, this might have changed now!

Mind explaining how the Government is able to change how Canadians vote?

Cool insight!

I wonder if ChyronHego isn't available real-time due to not being able to provide it in real-time or just that there is not enough money on the table for them to do so.

I'm pretty sure the Opta data is available on a much shorter timeframe than every five minutes, as a side note.

Opta[1] provide stats for many sports. For example, in football(UK), Opta provide feeds that include many stats on the game before, during, and after. These feeds can be quite extensive. I imagine most sports have similar services available, though the level of detail I'm unsure on.

I think (with no basis in reputable source) it's more just that Amazon see a large potential market in Europe that current Regions can't cover. There're also possibly local data laws / policies that mean not every company could use one of the existing Regions.

I think that instead of creating pseudo-jobs to counter this, perhaps we look into the 'bored' aspect. Can we provide stimulation to avert the negative results seen historically? When we say that we have and distribute the resources needed to survive, do we include entertainment among these resources?

Well, if you haven't done some form of studying, formal or informal, you can't really claim to be informed.
