How many of you - as developers - are taken aback by the revelations concerning the state of Dominion Voting Systems?
Why would any self-respecting developer agree to write code in such a way as to allow subversion of its targeted purpose?
What retard decided that storing vote counts as floating point numbers was a "good idea"? ANYBODY that's been a developer for any length of time knows damn well that when you do math with floating point numbers, the result is an *approximation*. and is therefore not accurate.
Even more importantly, why would anyone use software that was demonstrably accuracy-challenged and so easily corrupted?

When it involves government, the reverse Midas touch should come as no surprise.

Ask that question to:
Diesel VW drivers
Boeing 737 Max pilots
UK government scientists(it's well worth reading the code review on Neil Ferguson's model[^])

The users want the cheapest product.
The developers know how to find QA.

Well, everyone knows that an int can only go up to 32,767 so you have to use a float to count higher!

A max int has been 2,147,483,647 since BEFORE dominion wrote their software. There are significantly fewer than 2 billion voters in the entire U.S.. There is *no excuse* for using a floating point value.

It may have depended on the outcome the developer wanted - a disputable result!

Errors can at times be the hardest thing to get right. Any fool can insert a bug accidentally.

I wonder if the code was originally designed for a different purpose and was "re-used" in the voting machines.
Several layers of wrongness here.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

The developers didn't have enough fingers and toes so...
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

I think the developers have entirely too many fingers ...

Yes. Dominion's software has been a problem since before 2012.

Not at all. All you have to do is a simple google search.

Yeh, I already did that and all I saw was reports that Trump was claiming this had cost him the election and whole bunch of news sites saying "No, not true". Which is why I posted "Fake news?"
I'm guessing you got the information from somewhere. Why not let us have the link to that.

Not sure how accurate a source the New York times is, but it looks like it is indeed a fake news[^].
