Look, "IT guy". This guy knew every line of code in that box, he was Dominion's Chief Proselytizer! He's in multiple videos describing Dominion's suite of election fraud operations right down to how simply Dominion can alter results onsite or remotely as his freaking. sales. pitch.
You haven't done a lick of background work on any thread I've ever seen you in, you don't read the links provided, you probably can't even spell "Dr." Eric's last name. And you wander in here like you think you're on Facebook for Conservatives and drop your deuce and expect not to get called out on it.
I vote for charge him and make him roll over on others.....work him to go up the tree....
Feel better, tough guy?
I don’t have to prove anything. Don’t like what i say? Keep scrolling. Quit being a butt-hurt liberal.
I can tell you, from the IT side, the people who design applications are not necessarily the people who code applications. If its a large project, you have an architect who lays out the plan after discussing the goals with the customer or company owners. You have project managers who push the plan, communicate, and essentially make sure timelines are hit and if they are not, the plan is adjusted and the change is communicated. Then you have the developers who have various aspects of the project to work on.
Usually, developers know what they coded but not the whole project. An example of how impossible “knowing every line of code” is, IE4, which is a very old and relatively small web browser by todays standards, had 25 million lines of code in it. It required 12MB of hard disk space once installed. The download file was probably less than 4MB. NO HUMAN could KNOW every single line of code in a 25 million line project. NO ONE can remember 25 million individual anythings. Names, phone numbers, stars, blades of grass, words. The human mind can’t encompass this level of detail on something so large. What we can know is the general architecture or modules and how they play with each other. How they interact.
What this means is, its very easy to obfuscate what’s happening in the code of the program. One of the criteria of good professional programmers and programming is that they comment frequently on what each section of code does so that they or others can go back and figure out why something is broken or not working as expected. Without the commentary in the code, it can easily take 10x as long to debug issues. So imagine bad_actor_1 telling bad_actor_2 to go in and insert code to do 123 in module xyz without commenting on what the code is, or alerting whomever is the original author. Changes are usually tracked in a repository\database, but what if you replace the original author on the module in question (fire him) with your bad_actor_2 person? Who is going to know the difference about what has been changed? There is the question of Quality Control, but QC are not hackers and aren’t going to look for or see back doors or features that are not documented.
This is one of the reasons why open source is so desirable. You have an application that’s very important, and you have tons of unrelated people willing to review the code and look for problems or security issues, then submit bug reports and\or report it to the public so that the public knows there is an issue and avoids using the application.
Sometimes, this results in applications that are so well made that the NSA tells the developer to put back doors in it so they can gain access - as was the case for TruCrypt and why the people running that project shut it down instead of complying.
To your ridiculously uncivil comments, I didn’t vote on a dominion machine because I live in a rural area that doesn’t use them. Its very easy that the VP of whatever doesn’t know that bad_actor_1 had bad_actor_2 add bad stuff to the code. Its called plausible deniability. Leave the VP out of it so when he is asked, as an officer of the company will certainly be asked, he can say he has no knowledge of such event. Not saying that’s what happened. I’m saying its possible.
Do you even work in corporate America? Do you even know how things work in a large company where the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing half the time? It doesn’t sound like it, but I can’t and won’t judge.
I’ve said elsewhere, on other topics, I cannot stand when people instantly convict someone accused of any act when they lack the proof to do so. Proof is a different evidentiary standard than circumstantial evidence. This has happened repeatedly with well known cases in the past and every time I see it I call it out. The media do this ALL the time, repeatedly, and no judge so far has held them to any sort of punishment. Being accused is VASTLY different than actually doing something. The media’s conviction of people in this manner is an enormous injustice because it ruins a person’s life and anyone who follows along with this behavior is in effect one of the enemy. Its pretty much as simple as that. You want to act like them, go be with those of like mind. If you want to be a more reasoned individual then you’ll seek justice - real justice based on facts - regardless of whom it applies to. Have some standards or principles that you adhere to. Some integrity. This is why Trump’s cases have been failing. The people involved at the state level all lack integrity. They want their candidate to win regardless of how it happens. I want Trump to win but not if he doesn’t deserve it. If he really did lose, which I absolutely don’t believe, he needs to abide by that. Not concede like the media and swamp creatures want.
