As a counter argument: some countries (like the USA) accept mass mail-in voting, which has the same downsides as online voting (plus the “ballot took five weeks to reach the next town so your vote didn’t count” problem with an underfunded mail service).
Which isn’t to say digital voting is good, but clearly many people value the easier participation over the verifiability/security of normal voting.
I had a scale that kept measuring! It was great! I lost so much weight in the week before the battery finally gave out! Too bad my clothes didn’t get any looser and all that weight came back on when I replaced the battery, but for a short moment in time weight loss became super easy! Turned out there was a reason other scales stopped measuring lol.
Depending on the elasticity of the brain, brain damage can make other parts of the brain take over for damaged areas (after a terrible recovery process).
In fact, it’s possible for a brain to be almost entirely empty space and people learn about it decades into their normal lives.
There are regions inside the brain that usually take care of certain functions but it’s not like there’s a specific area that’s guaranteed to be designated to specific nerves. Every brain is different, the schematics are generalisations that’ll work well enough most of the time.
In mijn ervaring zijn er meer dan genoeg bedrijven die beginnende programmeurs aannemen, mits je een papiertje of andere aantoonbare ervaring hebt tenminste. Met alleen een bootcamp of zelfstudie zonder portfolio lukt het niet meer zo makkelijk (daar is het aanbod van mensen met aantoonbare kennis wel weer te groot voor). Nog steeds hoor ik verhalen van mensen die het “ik zoek een baan” vinkje op LinkedIn aanzetten en binnen een week een recruiter op de mail hebben staan.
De leuke bedrijven en de bedrijven waar je veel verdient zullen ervaring vragen, maar voor de mensen met theoretische kennis en weinig praktijkervaring is er aanbod genoeg. De grootste uitdaging die ik kan bedenken is dat je ver van een stad of andere kantoorruimte woont, of dat je een baan zoekt waar niet veel vraag voor is.
You’re not wrong, but the question then becomes “why did the US send an advanced military defence system that needs a hundred highly trained American operatives to work”.
I’m guessing the reason is a combination of politics (lots of American politicians with ties to Israel) and practical reasons (validate that these systems still work against the enemies of the state without actually getting involved in a war directly, perform analysis for future improvements for defence on home soil, get people behind Israeli lines to extract intelligence that might not be shared willingly).
Are there people of voting age that are exempt from paying taxes? Because I’m pretty sure the federal government has a huge database of its citizens already through the IRS. People who became adults after the last tax season and people committing tax fraud would need to register manually once, but I don’t think that’s such a big risk.
How would an illiterate dude living in a cave register to vote?
I guess America just can’t pull of what just about every European country does, but even then you don’t need this recurring manual registration mess. Just register everyone who filed a tax form last year and you should get most of the voting age population already.

$3k for a 77 inch OLED seems pretty cheap to me. You can go cheaper with Samsung TVs, but if you thought WebOS was full of ads, you haven’t seen what Samsung is capable of. I can’t imagine these companies making any profit on the hardware for that price.
If you want a TV without the spyware, look for digital signage displays. LG’s listed price for their OLED displays is “contact us”, but you can find their 77" IPS displays for about $3600 and 55" 1080p displays for about $6k. Other OLED digital signage displays can be had for cheaper, but not for 77"-OLED-for-$3k cheap.
The drive to “biggest, brightest TVs for the least amount of money” has truly ruined the consumer TV market. Even the luxury brands have realised that consumers would rather have ads shoved down their throats than pay a couple hundred dollars extra and it shows.

Most of them act(ed) like an access point.
However, the SDIO spec allows for cursed applications like WiFi adapters, Bluetooth dongles, and more to be fitted into an SD card. It was really just SPI, so in theory it also allowed things like GPS tranceivers and any other peripheral you can think of that’s low bandwidth enough to work over SPI. Need Bluetooth for your Palm PDA? Here you go! Just stick a massive slab of plastic into the SD card slot!
These days SDIO is only really used for alternative (faster) transfer modes and maybe some slow and insecure WiFi access points in cameras.
