    Technology Risks to EVM?

    @Mods @SunnyBoi please go through this thread and seriously consider if a senior member is unknowingly spamming here despite repeated requests. Probably not out of ill-will, but due to his/her strong opinions. Please clean this thread. If you disagree that it is abuse, then please lock or delete...

    Technology Risks to EVM?

    I would request everyone to actually agree to disagree and not debate this further on this thread if possible, because it is so far from the intended discussion, and also unfortunately a lot of the discussion is turning into about defending ones' stance instead of the question which was about...

    Technology Risks to EVM?

    Interesting that you are looking for proof from a bureaucratic system's flaws from within. You might consider reflecting instead of using comfortable ideas consistent with your world view like "hypotheticals" to dismiss reasonable statements. Almost no bureaucracy/government ever concedes that...

    Technology Risks to EVM?

    Without ever having physical access to EVM. Interesting. Anyway since there is a risk of it getting heated unneccessarily, and nobody seems to want to discuss the technology risks because ops risk control is seen as enough, I'd say lets end it here and agree to think differently. I don't think...

    Technology Risks to EVM?

    1. Risk of psy-ops is there, and needs countering, but the issue should not take away the need for better disclosures. If anything, obscurity can help psyops as well. And honestly there is no easy way around in international geopolitics so psyops are just not going away, as much as we hope that...

    Technology Risks to EVM?

    I do not think practical is the kind of argument that I would be convinced by. There are large power interests that would love to influence India's politics, especially given India's economic clout and India being the only meaningful force that could balance the influence of China in the region...

    Technology Risks to EVM?

    Can I check if you have, or others have thought through about your time horizon? How many years before we have viable technologies that could intrude. I do not know how to trust institutions when they use obscurity and secrecy as reasons to withhold information. Frankly, most powerful...

    Technology Risks to EVM?

    Well, since not many people are actually willing to discuss the actual question, I might as well indulge especially as you mentioned risk. From a risk-taking perspective, my view is that to keep organizations alive for decades, or centuries, you have to survive tail events over long run...

    Technology Risks to EVM?

    Just to hopefully be clearer - I am just looking for any insights into any known technologies that might exist, or potentially come into being, that could make the EVM or for that matter any semiconductor devices with One-Time Programmable (OTP) memories vulnerable to hacks.

    Technology Risks to EVM?

    I respect the views but as I said, I'm just keen on understanding the technological possibilities, because if there exists a technology to interfere, the state actors most likely to interfere, are also the ones most likely to have access to that technology. I am tempted to respond to your...

    Technology Risks to EVM?

    Well, the attitude of Indian authorities, including the honorable supreme court, towards technology adoption, based on their actions and words, seems to suggest that they seem to often have a flimsy understanding of risks that can befall populations when technology is implemented at scale. Their...

    In one para : what's wrong with our modern diet.

    Corporate food supply has structural issues due to the amoral nature of corporations. They are by design meant to focus on cost reduction and profits, and only care about obvious risks that will impact sales. Since majority of masses are too distracted in the modern world, companies know that...

    Some interesting videos i saw today on YT about usa

    I would argue that while you are right in the near to medium term (which is during a steady socio-political state of sorts), but it does not apply to phase transitions. My thoughts are still not settled on the matter, but it appears to me that democracies (and all other socio-political systems)...

    Some interesting videos i saw today on YT about usa

    That logic seems difficult to defend to me. I won't go into whether it was propaganda, but you seem to imply that everyone who makes such statements does propaganda, and is obligated to leave, because of their purported political views of not liking the state of affairs. The expectation that...

    Some interesting videos i saw today on YT about usa

    That's a smart observation. Just like many other things, tolerance and economic growth seem to go through long cycles. I once found it hard to imagine powerful empires falling, but it makes sense to me in this context. It wouldn't be shocking to me if someday another country becomes more...

    Samsung New open box SSDs

    Additional positive feedback on 990 pro 2TB received a few days ago. It was shipped and delivered very quick, and I found it to be very well packed and it works perfectly. Thanks to Ankit, I do not have to worry anymore about limiting the number of games installed on my desktop.

    Think twice before buying from dBrand again.

    Oh in case that is how they are consistently with everyone, and it can be reasonably assumed that there was no malintent, then it is fair to say we don't need to worry too much about it from the racism angle, despite it being quite insensitive. I was under the impression that they had targeted...
