MKBHD in his review mentioned a very odd instance of overheating, seemingly random and unrelated to any stressful workload. Anecdotal evidence points to iOS bugs.
Modern day California, and by extension Silicon Valley, would not look the way it is today without the California Gold Rush [1], as horrible as its externalities were.
Great prosperity often comes at, or with, a great cost. California today doesn't make a great picture when you look at the homelessness and inequality, and the exorbitant cost of living anywhere near where the action is.
I have seen this article [1] being thrown around among my conservative friends, and while I do not have the statistics background to understand the detailed analysis, it seems to suggest some strange behavior around the reporting of mail-in votes. Not exactly evidence, but something that may have warranted investigation at the time.
The vote spikes are simple - early voting ballots getting reported [1]. Biden encouraged his supporters to vote early. Trump did the opposite. Accordingly, the early/absentee votes are ~90% for Biden. Due to the way they get counted they come in larger lumps than day-of vote counting. As far as I can tell the rest of the post is statistical gish-gallop with some graphs and equations to make it all look more convincing.
I also want to say that the sources of reported votes isn't a mystery, and the author could easily have found out that they were early votes if they had wanted to. Either they didn't check, or didn't want to inform people of those very relevant facts.
My thought is that such a body would act like existing organizations that, for example, certify medical professionals, engineers, accountants, or even colleges. For online news it may look like a journalism credential, requiring sites to follow basic and sound journalistic ethics when publishing. By these standards it should be easy for the large papers (NYT, WSJ, etc) as well as your local news and tv to receive accreditation for their sites. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accreditation
Can't say about Ori or a lot of the distributed file systems being showcased, but Panzura's global file system addresses this exact use case. But since they make enterprise products that run on dedicated hardware, they might be a bit pricey.
