Dominion Voting Systems Corporation is a company that produces and sells electronic voting hardware and software, including voting machines and tabulators, in Canada and the United States.[1] The company's headquarters are in Toronto, Ontario, where it was founded, and Denver, Colorado.[2] It develops software in offices in the United States, Canada, and Serbia.[3] Dominion produces electronic (e-voting) voting machines, which allow voters to cast their votes electronically as well as optical scanning devices used to tabulate paper ballots... In May 2010, Dominion acquired Premier Election Solutions (formerly Diebold Election Systems, Inc.) from Election Systems & Software (ES&S). ES&S had just acquired Premier from Diebold and was required to sell off Premier by the United States Department of Justice over anti-trust concerns.[25] In June 2010, Dominion acquired Sequoia Voting Systems.[26] In 2018, Dominion was acquired by its management and Staple Street Capital, a private equity firm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_Voting_Systems

Tantek Celik: 11 days ago I suggested a unified Sent box of everything sent/reacji’d to all Slacks (slack.com) logged-in with the same email. Beyond Slack though, everything you write & send anywhere: txt, chat, email, web. A Universal Outbox of all content you create, including responses. A flat time ordered list of output across mediums. And a source of material to blog. The phrase “Universal Outbox” seemed obvious to describe such a feature, parallel to the idea of a universal inbox that I remember first learning of as a concept from Apple’s AOCE project² in the early 1990s, but called a “single universal mailbox”. Figuring someone must have come up with the idea, I did a web search, and found a minimal wiki page from 2011: UniversalOutbox which did vaguely describe the idea: “a single hub where someone can find all your outbound LifeStreams?” (more)

Dave Winer says I need an outliner to manage my email drafts. In a perfect world I'd be able to plug one in... The ultimate goal is to do all my writing in my favorite writing app, and send pointers to the writing to the other apps, emailers, chat apps, CMSes, there would be only one original, and if I made a change to the original the updates would flow to all the places I sent pointers.

Ben Hunt: The Grifters, Chapter 3 - Election Prediction. The “scores” and the “announcing” and the game itself are a totally distinct thing from the process and dynamic and the outcome of our most important political institution. And they (538) know it. And yet they sell their game over and over again as if it were the real thing. That’s what makes it a grift. (more)

Tantek Celik: Nineteen years ago last Saturday, Kevin Marks & I introduced microformats at OReillyMedia ETech 2004, building on “semantic (x)html”. We named #microformats only after we had established a pattern of real world examples; even our talk proposal was named RealWorldSemantics, and provided examples in that broader theme. (more)
