Are you kidding? Wasn't he one of the developers of the RSS protocol? Plus he was starting companies and giving lecture before most of us finished college.
I for one judge people on their accomplishments, not whether he finished school or not.
But Republican politicians around the US have been introducing bills limiting who can use what bathroom, so the larger problem is the GOP as a whole doesn't know what it even believes. Thiel's and Trump's social ideals vary vastly from the rest of the party.
I think it's funny that he's supporting the party that is making an issue out of the "who can use which bathroom" deal. Transgender people just want to use the bathroom they align with, it's the GOP that's making up stories about how children are at risk or some shit.
Thank you for this sir. I'm with you, Elon has accomplished a breadth of amazing things fairly early in his career. If you don't find that astounding then GTFO IMHO
Seriously... I was just reading the examples and thinking to myself "why would I use this over vanilla D3"? The syntax isn't more concise and offers less control, and introduces a whole new api to learn. To me this is like writing a DOM manipulation framework on top of jQuery...
Interesting. I'm no subject expert so I can't critique this, but it sounds better than other online voting systems I've heard. I like the checks and balances in place too.
Now I only skimmed this article, but I feel like most people who argue against online voting use arguments about how insecure it is that already apply to what's happening right now (voting software is a black box, can be hacked, etc etc, this also describes current voting machines). The only difference is there isn't a single voting db or site somewhere for people to manipulate a large number of votes (which like you said is protected as long as people can verify the open software / data).
Yes paper does have indelible properties but paper doesn't scale well, and having a paper counting machine introduces the same black box that people use as argument against current voting machines. Yes security is an issue, but scalability is also an issue.
