Interviewers look for excess confidence, not skill

Some people only browse global feeds and downvote stuff as if they’re trying to train the Netflix recommendation algorithm, completely ignoring the rules of the community it originates from

Hashing alone if it’s just usernames isn’t enough. Need something like keyed hashes, but then malicious servers can lie about numbers of votes.

Otherwise you need something ridiculously overengineered like public but encrypted logs of user actions and Zero-knowledge proofs of correctness mapping everything to a distinct existing user without revealing who it is.

As I mentioned in another post: for consistency is better to have each server count total votes from their own users, send a signed & timestamped message with the count to the host of the post being voted on. Then the host can display a consistent vote count to everybody that shows where votes are coming from without manipulation of external votes.

Each individual server can lie about its count, but not by too much or else it will be detected and the server can get defederated (or have its votes ignored).

Especially in federated networks where the data isn’t under access control, doubly so if the privacy extension is optional

Varies between games, it’s common there’s features missing so it’s not equivalent but often Linux has remained faster when equivalent because its implementation is more efficient. Unless you’re dealing with ray tracing and other recent fancy stuff.

On the other hand, Trump’s FAA has made airplanes do impromptu land acknowledgements

Removing sanctions, allowing the biggest bombs to be sent to Israel again, starting deportations of pro-palestine protestors

You have to be lying or must be blind if you don’t think that’s worse

But lack of turnout did

49% of voters, about a 3rd of eligible voters
