I agree that no person should be idealized or anyone view on history should be trusted without questions, but where did you find credible sources to your view because both Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgy_Zhukov and Britannica: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Georgy-Zhukov confirm positive view on Zhukov same as article.
And what would be your proposal? Bolsonaro will only listen when the scummy people who supports him (and I'm talking about business, not the voters) get hurt in their pockets.
The IED threat led to significant improvements in personal protection and medical care for casualties.

There were also steps backward in preparedness due to the focus on counterinsurgency ops, e.g. loss of experience in areas such as air defence and armoured warfare which weren't relevant for most of the operation (also in Afghanistan).
So maybe the poor and middle class would be better off and the rich would foot the bill?
A photo ID is not a poll tax though. Just like requiring people to go to a polling place is not a poll tax. Just like people having to take time off of work is not a poll tax.
Assuming that people can't get IDs based on their demographic is also a form of discrimination. Weak ID requirements disenfranchise voters of all backgrounds by enabling the possibility of diluting their votes with fraudulent registrations and ballots. Los Angeles County had more registered voters than they have age 18+ citizens and recently were forced by lawsuit to purge 5 million invalid registrations from their rolls.

Comparing Distributed Transaction Architectures for the Cloud Era (by @aphyr)
Great, keep up the good work! Are you able to discuss how studies like yours work? Is it along the lines of determining if people can distinguish between human written and AI generated text? Sounds like a difficult question to answer.

I suspect they will release the full model in time. It's already trending in that direction.
> I don't think many would want to live under a Chinese authoritarian rule given the Democratic alternatives. Or perhaps they would until they're rounded up in Xinjiang camps, shot in the face with rubber bullets for wanting to protect their current way of life or ran over by Tanks by asking for change to better their way of life.

There's an easy way to find out. Go poll the Chinese people. To be honest many Chinese do want to leave, but only because the country has been poor and most western countries are wealthy. This has been lessening over time.
I'm a full time React developer but I would much rather see the CLR than WASM as a universal platform target.

The CLR already supports a larger variety of programming languages from dynamically typed languages like Ruby and Python, to C#, to F# for functional style programming.

It already exists with a rich ecosystem of libraries. The tools to generate CIL opcodes are pretty good and the developer tools with Intellisense are pretty good as well.

It has good packaging support with assemblies. And you can already compile .NET code to WASM using Blazor.

And with .NET already running on Linux, Win, Mac, iOS, Android, and IOT devices, I don't really see targeting WASM adding anything that doesn't already exist.
An outstanding example; that’s class.
In the US, it depends on the state. Many states have policies or laws about taking pictures in the voting booth. There's quite a few articles about this from the 2018 election.

> "My main concern with the way things are going is that it looks an awful lot like attacks on vaping are for the purpose of driving smokers back to cigarettes"

I've heard this from enough vapers that I'm starting to suspect that vaping causes paranoia. Big tobacco is happy as a clam that so many people are vaping. Cigarettes were on the decline before vaping came along and gave nicotine addictions to a new generation.
Agreed, and outside of the pure messaging aspect, it was a great way to quickly share music in the same place you were going to listen to it.

...and except for the fact that the US Passport Card itself (DS-11) requires another ID card, so the same exact problems arise.

And those IDs usually require proof of residency and/or a copy of a US birth certificate, which can be problematic to acquire or prove in their own ways for the more vulnerable to disenfranchisement (such as the homeless) in our society.
Actually cash is a form of that: a $100 bill is a bank note that you have $100 in the bank. In theory if you want to deposit $1 million, the bank should just give you a note for a $1 million deposit - that would be a $1 million bank note.
But all this was true when the bank note was for the gold or silver that was deposited in the bank. Now every bank note is just a paper about an amount of nothingness :)

Well that was basically the PPC consortium. I'm not sure how much apple/motorola/etc paid to be part of it, but the idea was to build a common ISA from multiple vendors.
>Humans have been doing paper document chains of custody since the ancient Chinese and the Romans. It's not rocket surgery.

And people have been figuring out ways to get around these impediments since their advent. It's not as if voter fraud started with computers.

I'm not saying that computer voting is superior but I think you are overstating the security of paper voting systems.
Breather is the Uber of office space. You are exactly right comparing WeWork with uber _if and only if_ uber buys all of the cars and therefore the liabilities.
The point is that you don't want to have to trust individuals or small groups of people. There are ways of manipulating a paper election, but that's why you have judges and election observers. If the count is done in a decentralized way, and the precinct results posted, you have to physically compromise the vote in many precincts. Doing this on a large scale runs a high probability of someone noticing.

With these zero paper systems, there is no observability. Even if everything is sealed, you don't know what the software inside is doing. You probably don't even know what software the device is running, because the machines are stored in some warehouse for months at a time, with who knows who having access to them.
Anything less than a resignation is a pretty bad look for MIT
You also need a Mac to (a) remote debug Mobile Safari, and (b) Test Safari on desktop.

You probably need both an iPad and an iPhone because (1) iPadOS 13 now acts like desktop by default, (2) If you do anything with inputmode= or number fields the virtual keyboards are different, (3) screen size

In theory you can test iOS/iPadOS devices in xcode, but I have found real devices far easier and more reliable.
Another thing to abolish - winner-takes-all system, which prevents wider parties variety.
I submitted an XSS on the tesla website to hackerone, it was marked as a duplicate. A week later, shared it with an XSS mailing list and got an angry email from HackerOne soon after. Public disclosure violates the terms of their reporting program EVEN if they reject your report.

I'm really curious how much of what is reported to HackerOne ever gets and actual patch. It kind of seems like there are bunch of known vulnerabilities idling on their platform without quick fixes. Should be interesting once the HackerOne database is inevitably leaked.

HackerOne should start requiring companies pay researchers for duplicates - that the company already knew of a flaw should make them more liable, not less.
Yeah, I don't even sign my cards. If the merchant looks at the signature line, they just hand it back to me. I've never even been asked for ID.

"that doesn’t exist in practice"

It's ridiculous to assert that it doesn't exist in practice due to lack of evidence when in reality pretending to be someone else to vote leaves virtually no evidence. You can't even begin to analyze the problem so its laughable for you to assert such things.

Vote counts will still be reported at every level, but electors will all cast their votes for the national popular vote winner.

It will be easy enough to note which states' vote counts favor candidate B, despite the national popular vote favoring candidate A.

As parent says, that's the design, but I'm sure there will be upset people in those states.
As some people already mentioned, the problem is the amount of cash you would have to keep safe somewhere. As far as I know, there are companies that use tunnels in mountains to act as huge cash depots. But such a storage also comes at a price. Also to prevent this kind of business, the European Central Bank already considered dismissing the 500 Euro bill. With that the physical amount to store would be even bigger. (The german economics professor Hans-Werner Sinn mentioned this once in a talk)
Per the Amazon Privacy notice [0], they claim that they do not 'sell' your data. I've not parsed it in detail, but a quick preusal of it does not specify the sharing of the information of children specifically. Nor does the privacy notice mention what 'sell' means. Is rental of data included, is lonaing the data included, what is meant by data, what is meant by secure, what happends when a contrator just runs off with the data and then sells it?

I've not looked at the policies of the other various 'mic is in the house' devices, as Amazon's privacy notice is suprisingly readable and short in comparison (hence why I linked it above).

Suffice to say, there are enough weasel words in these privacy notices that you agree to that these companies can claim non-liability over just about anything. Look, I'm not a lawyer and I'm not an expert in these EULA thingys, but they smell really fishy and I'm pretty sure at this point in the internet that they are not written for my benefit.

I'm not too pleased with such practices and such an ethos involving personal conversations of the people that I love and that love me.

If they end up selling the data to just about anyone, I'm not going to be suprised, just very disappointed in those people and the people that have to forgive them for trading the (perhaps very personal) conversations of children and adults for some more numbers on a checking account screen.

I wonder if this is a product of Valve's free-form company structure. If as a Valve employee, you have the autonomy to float between projects, how do you maintain a strong security team? Do they even have a dedicate security team?

This seems like an appropriate response. I was approached by a woman who wanted to merge her lab with mine a number of years ago, I didn't go through with the deal for a number of reasons, but many years later it was revealed that this woman was a neo-nazi. I had no inkling in my business dealings with her that this was who she was, but it would have made zero difference if I had merged my business with hers, as I would have been in business with a nazi. Folks make mistakes. Owning those, taking accountability for your mistakes and moving forward with contrition is the only way to make those kinds of mistakes okay.

[Timescaledb engineer here] We like to say that time-series data is any data that is insert-mostly with data associated with the most recent time period. That's a pretty broad definition, intentionally so. We see usage in telecoms, heavy industry, science, health, IoT, etc. It's really about recording the history of your data as it evolves, instead of just the current state.
Not counter productive to the society: as money have nothing behind and central banks can just print it, they can print or electronically grant any amount to anyone needing it. This would not affect the trust in the value of the money because there is no such value. What is $1 or 1 Euro backed by? An ounce of Moon dust?
Yes, of course. If you support the election of President based on national popular vote, then you surely realize that sometimes the President will not be the candidate that was preferred in certain states.

China and Vietnam historically haven't gotten along well anyway.

And I'm not so sure how many Asian nations would go along with that whole situation. Would be a lot of doubling down there by China... and when / if THEY want to offshore some things, where do they go?
Thank you for sharing this perspective! I think it's valuable. Few questions:

1) "... and other indirect interference campaigns that have been known to happen" Curious if you have links for these? The more I've learned about our election systems, the more I've suspected these to be highly vulnerable, but I hadn't been aware of known interference.

2) I believe Colorado has, generally, strong election practices. Given that "chain of custody" occurs at the county level across the US, and that a single county can sway an entire national election, could we not suspect that a single bad actor (or small group of bad actors) could intentionally modify the polling record? And that this is much harder to prevent & detect with purely electronic ballots?

3) Does chain of custody prevent attackers from altering the records of a voting machine in a voting booth? eg; accessing USB, other ports, or wireless connection?
We're not discussing the legality of the move.

File your comment under "missing the point".

Telling a security researcher "we're not going to fix this but please keep it secret" is not a viable strategy, ever.

In the end, the researcher went public (as nearly all will, in that same situation), Valve got a hit to their reputation in the tech press, and they ended up having to (attempt and fail to) fix it anyway. Entirely predictable, and Valve looks really stupid here.

Banning people from your bug bounty problem for following the generally-accepted rules for security disclosures is certainly with in their right, but so what? It's not a winning strategy for any company.
I think this is the OPs point though. You are trusting someone to make sure the ballots are in a locked closet. You aren't personally there to see it, and I personally have never been on scene to witness vote counting by a bipartisan coalition of judges. For all I know, the ballots are taken in a back room, burned, and then the election officials throw darts at a board to determine who wins. There are no publicly available recordings of the count. I'm trusting quite a few people who say they were witness that the count was legitimate. But in my experience buying off the word of even dozens of people is fairly cheap for what you get manipulating an election.

And more generally, if you are already trusting said election commission to do the counting by being in a partisan staredown the same principle would apply to said commissions scrutiny over voting machines. If the parties are balanced enough in power to insure no one is stuffing the ballot behind anyone elses back they can probably mutually conclude if an electronic voting machine is safe to use for the both of them.

Its worth mentioning and considering that, even in those coalition election commissions, both parties are incentivized to discredit third parties any way they can. They share a duopoly of power that they are both in their own self interest to protect, and I do not hear often about third party oversight of election commissions. Why do you trust them on that front, then, when their incentives are entirely aligned against being truthful?
The NC State Board of Elections is meeting THIS FRIDAY to vote on the certification of voting machines. They previously scheduled to hold a vote on July 28 and of the 15 individuals allowed to give public comment during that meeting, every single one of them urged the board in favor of hand-marked paper ballots. Fortunately, one of those speakers also had prior been in touch with one of the 5 board members and gave her language for a proposed amendment to the certification requirements, requiring that any voting machine produce a human-readable mark so that voters could verify their vote was tabulated correctly (no barcodes). There was a 3-2 vote in favor of considering the amendment, which required a new meeting to be scheduled in no fewer than 15 days. the very next morning one of the 3 voters said he changed his mind and said he didn't understand what he was voting for, and a new meeting was called for 2 days later to rescind the motion to consider the amendment, which basically meant the certification would proceed without the protections of human-readable paper ballots. To make things even crazier, the next day the chair of the board made an off-color joke at a convention of state election officials and resigned. And so the vote to rescind the amendment proposal failed at 2-2. A new chair has since been appointed by the NC Governor and on this Friday the vote to approve the amendment will proceed.

DemocracyNC.org has made it very easy to email the NC State Board of Elections officials with a message in support of this amendment to provide voters with the security of a human-readable ballot.

Those things are already generally felonies, however, it's not that good deterrant, because it's something that's hard to prove, and they're used in situations where the vulnerable party would have to openly challenge it to report it. I mean, these are not theoretical considerations, all these things have a historical background on how election manipulations have been attempted and implemented worldwide over the centuries. Underneath pretty much every tiny detail in the ballot process there's some particular exploit that has happened and been prevented in future by that detail.
Very well. In the vast majority of the UK, you don't need ID. That checkmark on your list remains misleading at best.

They are the biggest problem in terms of foreign interference. I don't think a Russian national can hang out in rural Organ and mess with paper ballots without being noticed.
What about the disenfranchisement of citizens who's will is overrun by people not eligible to vote? Are you really trying to convince me that we should make our elections insecure because some people want to vote in federal election while simultaneously not wanting the federal government to have their ID.
