My preferred machine would be one that did not use integrated circuits, but was simple enough that the entire board and circuit was visible - with no software beyond the circuitry at all. You just need a very simple sensor and tally wheels that mechanically advance, like those used for measuring wheels etc. No need for memory. Keep automation to the absolute bare minimum.
While I think of it, the USA and UK should both stop holding votes on working days. That is nuts! Do what Australia does and vote on a Saturday and make it compulsory.
The Tuesday law was passed in 1845. Instead of changing it, many legislators are pushing in the opposite direction: trying to selectively suppress their opponents' votes further. If it hurts them more than us, it's a worthy goal!

It has engineers. It might yet surprise. Nvidia hasn't proven it can turn a ridiculous amount of capital into a matrix-multiplication moat.
This seems like another media opportunity about a nothing burger event for an index that has lost relevance, when other indices like the S&P 500 and QQQ have already incorporated NVIDIA a while ago. They’re just playing catch up.
This argument has been around since time immemorial. The right way to think of it is more like a country club or a who's who, rather than a survey or a directory.
As for the news at hand, it's really more about Intel than Nvidia. Sic transit gloria mundi.
When remote work is an option, it'd be nice to know the health opportunity cost of RTO. Sadly the cohort is too hard to study outside of nursing home residents.
Instead it's more like "nothing to see here, kindly vote in our puppet candidate X, thanks!" for various local values of X.
