That's like the National Enquirer quoting the Weekly World News on a Bat Boy story.

Why on earth would Democrats in California engage in election fraud? The only insanity is believing they would bother to cheat in an election they're going to win anyway.

So? Proof (or disproof) is irrelevant in a PR fight.

What facts? You have unverified and unverifiable claims from a disgruntled ex-employee, and this own admission is ""My thought was . . .". There are no facts there, only opinions from someone with an agenda and a limited imagination.

There's a difference between auditing paper ballots in a polling station and counting mail in ballots that, inherently, are either completely unverifiable, or trivially easy to connect to specific voters without outside supervision. (And remember, Trump has personal experience with retribution by the winner after the election. That's where he learned the playbook he's using now.)

They may well be full of shit on how much tampering goes on, but there is an internal logic to their ramblings.

No, they wanted to prove they're insecure so they could reveal the proof at a press conference (or on social media).

Better, these days, to use a puzzle humans /can't> solve, that AIs can. Far more certain filter.

Sometimes, there are not good guys at all.

Long before that, all bots should have been blocked.

Are they awful because they're poor, or are they poor because they're awful? Some people are born in poverty and never have a chance to escape. Others end up there because they make bad choice after bad choice, knowing they're making bad choices.

That could be buying an ageing parent life saving medication. That could also include buying an addict brother his next meth hit so he won't steal your car again.

Does the study even attempt to distinguish between them?

I disagree. In a rational world, game creators will act that way. We do not live in a rational world. Instead, they ask what they want gamers to want. The difference, perhaps, is subtle, but important, because game creators are as likely as anyone else to be a) stupid, b) narcistic, or c) both. (And often, they get mandates from MBAs running the company, and marketing droids who are echo chambers of the MBA's own self image, to do stupid things, because MBAs and marketing droids are far more likely to be c) both.)

And at only $200k, it's not even that expensive a supercar.

Aren't you a sock puppet of the r(etarded)silvergun(shooting blanks) bot and its communist masters?

Advertisers are not the enemy of the internet. They are the enemy of human civilization. They are the enemy of sanity. They are the enemy of all that is decent and moral in the world.

Recently, yes. And that's why Microsoft is now focusing on reducing what's needed.
