Thats p cyberpunk. not as much fun as the chinese kids that scrap out our old televisions in that horrible garbage dump Guiyu thats like hyper cyberpunk quote:Children are exposed to the dioxin-laden ash as the smoke billows around Guiyu, and finally settles on the area. The soil surrounding these factories has been saturated with lead, chromium, tin, and other heavy metals.[citation needed] Discarded electronics lie in pools of toxins that leach into the groundwater, making the water undrinkable to the extent that water must be trucked in from elsewhere

blockchain idiots are probably the only people peddling "secure" voting right now, and election boards are probably the only ones dumb enough to buy "secure" technology from a startup called "Voatz" this isn't just a right-wing thing, either. behold quote:Voatz, a Massachusetts-based startup that has struck up a partnership with one of the few companies in the country that actually builds voting systems, has used a blockchain paradigm to run elections for colleges, school boards, unions and other nonprofit and quasi-governmental groups. Perhaps its most high-profile endeavor was authenticating delegate badges at the 2016 Massachusetts Democratic Convention.

so the idea of blockchain is that its a publicly auditable ledger of transactions, right? it, uh. it seems like that could become a problem, with the ol' voting. yes, i'm aware that's like the dozenth-in-line problem with the concept, but even folk with headline awareness of what blockchain is should be aware that this idea might go over like a lead balloon.

Willie Tomg posted:so the idea of blockchain is that its a publicly auditable ledger of transactions, right? The term "blockchain" can mean a lot of different things depending on what people are trying to sell you. YOSPOS goon divabot wrote an anti-bitcoin/blockchain book (Attack of the 50-Foot Blockchain) which has an entire chapter for people in companies where their company might try to railroad them into buying "______ but with blockchain" and how to try and derail that/expose the vendor for the shysters they are. And e-voting by definition isn't properly democratic, blockchain or not.

hackbunny posted:Why? Democracy requires a few things: - Everyone eligible to vote gets one and only one vote. - This ability to vote is not transferable, they can't give/sell their vote or have someone else vote for them (exceptions for individuals in particular medical situations requiring assistance). - They cannot prove who they voted for to someone else (so their vote can't be bought or coerced). - The process by which votes are tallied has to be open and verifiable. e-voting screws up most of these, depending on their implementation, but there isn't currently a way to even theoretically implement e-voting that jives with the last rule, which is arguably the most important rule. It doesn't help that e-voting machines are closed source and trivially hackable, and that there have been allegations of backdoors implemented in them to force them to swing the vote a certain way. univbee has issued a correction as of 13:21 on Jun 4, 2018 |

univbee posted:Democracy requires a few things: - There are no artificial barriers to prevent any individual or group from voting freely, and any unintentional barriers (poverty+transportation, etc) are eliminated or mitigated. - Every vote has identical weight. America kinda has a problem with these two, but e-voting doesn't cause GOP laws/gerrymandering. Unless it's done securely it could allow them to cheat more directly. So this is more pointing out that the system is already undemocratic either way.  One thing that might help with the possibility of digital corruption/manipulation (or single-event upsets like a cosmic muon scrambling a byte) would be that everything needs to be independently verifiable, so if every voter got their own ID string (which only they can know) so they can later go and anonymously view their database entry and say "hey someone/something changed my vote"

Just stop throwing computers at a non-computer problem when plenty of countries vote with paper and pencil effectively and laugh at how America gets it so wrong.

Repetition posted:Isn't it the only way for something like Bitcoin to work though sure, but the only reason Bitcoin has to exist is to be a tech demo for blockchain stuff there's not actually a lot of real-world use for a decentralized, trustless currency. most of its supposed advantages just take advantage of the fact that no government really takes it seriously enough to enforce regulations on it yet

Voting not being a federal paid holiday (or at least guaranteeing people can take paid time off to go vote) is a pretty massive red flag to this effect. Most other countries that dabbled in e-voting have gotten rid of it since then for the reasons I elaborated on.
