This reminds me of the recent news about Lets Encrypt expiring one of their root certificate and warning that old Android systems may not be able to validate SSL if they were not updated. We have increasing moved our world into an interconnected web of trusts and taken out failsafes and overrides, so we are very much entering an age of brittle systems --- one in which the vulnerability of one key subsystem (Google, Facebook, Apple, a key SSL validation cert etc) can escalate towards disabling the entire world, when you cannot get your TV to turn on, car to start, power grid to switch on. What are we doing to prevent that?

Apple doesn't need to publish it. All one needs to do is collect a bunch of OSX apps (app store, creative cloud, web downloads of .dmg, whatever) and pull out the certificate serial numbers. This mapping is effectively public data, if you bother to go about collecting it.

Then, anyone monitoring your connection knows which apps you launch, when, and where you do it. Additionally, Akamai (and their ISPs) get your complete (IP geolocation) tracklog, and knows when you're at home, when you're traveling, and which apps you use in those places.

I wrote about the consequences of this just an hour ago:

Interesting thing is, Apple will deny apps from the App Store that make unencrypted connections (via App Transport Security), but their own, firewall-exempt, vpn-bypassing system processes can do it just fine. :D

...whatever you need to feel ok about a super rich government that manages to run a 15+% GDP deficit while failing to provide healthcare (or even annual physicals), adequate shelter, or even fucking food to its population.

The US deficit is literally big enough to feed everyone in the country 10x over, but we have millions of kids going to sleep hungry. We're accumulating more in debt every year than we need to feed the kids born that year for the rest of their lives.

Our debt is unsustainable and our country is drugged up on a perverse cocktail of conspiracies, Christianity, cowboy mythology. Glad to be one foot out. Good luck and god bless.

Taking a chess analogy - every new chess player is taught the same basic principles - control the center, develop your pieces and king safety. Also, some endgames are theoretical. A queen and king against a king and pawn on the 7th rank will be solved the same way by everyone including Grandmasters. At GM-level there's also significant opening theory which has to be learnt.

Yet, everyone has fun playing chess and even Grandmasters continue to be mesmerized by it because of the complexity - there is always something new to learn. Also, GMs have access to the top chess engines and can be studying using the same engine but have radically different styles.

They live for the parts of their games that are novel and so do we.

If all of our development was rigidly defined, we would just automate it. We put up with the boring parts of our development because we know there'll be parts of it that we can design.

If you are a hobbyist developer or a student, by all means, explore on your own and learn from your own mistakes. But that is not efficient if you want to get to the forefront. No GM today will refuse to learn opening theory or study the endgames.

We will still create magic and have fun.

> have a Court in Pennsylvania throw out 10,000 ballots

* The Constitution says that the state legislatures set the election mechanism.

* The Secretary of the State decided to change the rules on her own without the state legislature's approval.

* The Court ruled that the ballots that were accepted by the Secretary's adjusted rules but that would not be accepted by the legislature's approved rules can not be considered legal ballots and should not be counted.

The court didn't "throw out ballots". The court ruled that the Secretary of the State overstepped her authority and that ballots must be processed according the the rules established by the legislature.

This seems utterly straightforward to me but it is entirely possible I'm missing some important detail.

If you disagree with that chain of reasoning, what is your disagreement?

My understanding is that the ballots in question are not part of the current vote count in PA and so this ruling changes nothing with regard to the electoral votes from PA.

At best this was sloppy and careless behavior by the election bureaucracy, at worst it was an unjustifiable power grab.
You’re making a valid point but it ignores the historical context that as a group this work is shouldered on women, is extremely undervalued, and puts women in an extremely vulnerable position. I can’t explain it any better than Elizabeth Warren in The Double Income Trap. The entire book talks about women as the social safety net and the really shitty dynamics at play. There also has to be some care to treat separately the class of women from individual women. Since we’re on HN class Woman != Set<Woman>.

This doesn’t imply that no men take on this role or feel pressured to. And it doesn’t imply that literally all women do either. Nor does it imply that our patriarchal system doesn’t do serious harm to men in the ways you described and more.

Footnotes:

* The US has domestic violence laws. Like almost all criminal code they exist at the state level.

* Law enforcement absolutely does not ignore domestic violence against men. They ignore domestic violence entirely! Even with the act! The story of police not taking the claims seriously and one, leaving them with their abuser and two, removing the threat of police involvement as a deterrent to that abuse happens again and again.

* I’m not at all offended as a gay women because I know this article isn’t about me as an individual but about a complex social dynamic that the case studies serve as examples of.

Considering their A12 chip is designed by them I think it's safe to say the M1 is too. Not only that it states in the first sentence on Wikipedia that the M1 is designed by Apple.

To which ad network are you referring?

They have a couple: https://searchads.apple.com, https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/adguide/apda0878bbd9/i....

They cover ads in Apple News, the App Store Search ads and promotions, and there's the results of Siri search I suppose too. But all of these are internal Apple products and marketplaces. They are not running advertising auctions to any bidder on the basis of guaranteed user groups or targeting strategies.

If you are in fact suggesting that they sell ads beyond their internal marketplaces I'd consider that motivation to move away from them myself, and I converted away from OSS when I got bored fixing my workstation more than my work.
Interestingly, Oxidative stress is considered to the main cause of COVID-19 infection severity, according to Dr. Roger Seheult in his bio-chemistry analysis of SARS-CoV-2 in human body. He also explained why Vitamin D could help reduce the mortality of COVID-19 due to Vitamin's ability to slow down oxidative stress.[2]

Dr. Seheult is the main lecturer of his popular YouTube channel MedCram[3] and is a board certified physician in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Diseases, Critical Care Medicine and Sleep Medicine.

> It makes me wonder how a statement like this can be proved.

>> There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised

I suppose it might depend on how you read that statement. One person might read it as "There is no evidence (that exists/that will exist) that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised", in which case some backing would be desirable. Another person might read it more like "There is no evidence (that we're aware of) that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised", in which case proof technically doesn't need to be provided, as one can truthfully state that they are not aware of evidence of an event independently of whether that event occurred or not.
I guess the watermarking scheme would include some randomness so you cant just trivially diff, but making a robust scheme is probably hard.

That said it doesn't need to be that robust, since the pirate only has to slip up once to get caught and its hard to know for sure if you got the entire watermark out.
It’ll get repealed. All bans like that either have large cutouts or easy ways to get out of them. It’s posturing.

The ballots are much simpler in Canada. I remember getting a ballot that was the size of a 4' x 6' card. Put a check next to the candidate you want as the MP in your riding. Done.

The US ones can be multiple pages where you end up voting for a dozen candidates across multiple federal, state and local offices, plus a number of ballot initiatives. It's kind of nuts.

But I agree the old fashion paper and pen is the best system. It doesn't matter how theoretically secure some high-tech digital voting system is - unless every voter can understand how it works you'll always have people who think it's fixed. Actually, even with paper and pen people will think it's fixed, but you at least eliminate a ton of the unknown because of the physical record.
Isn't that the null hypothesis?

What I described is the core service at the heart of all payment processors. If this service is provided to customers (and merchants) at no cost, then the entire structure of payment processing changes dramatically.

There's also no obvious reason why Stripe and all other payment processors and credit card issuers and banks and financial services should not be carrying the cost of all the things you've mentioned, rather than them being part of the costs passed on to customers and merchants.
From the article:

"Pennsylvania, Georgia and South Carolina are on course to replace all paperless voting machines by 2020, while Arkansas, Virginia and Delaware have already completed this process."

We're lucky; they made it just in time. Imagine if this was a potential concern for Georgia or Pennsylvania right now.

To save you a click, the 8 remaining states are Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Kansas, Indiana, Kentucky and New Jersey. I hope Texas and Indiana, at least, follow suit soon.
Yeah. In Europe they have "city cars" with different standards for impact safety, so they can be smaller and lighter. In America, we mostly have full-on regulations for even the smallest cars, and then a category of vehicles limited to 25 MPH, which are hardly regulated at all.
In California, where this targeted, the maximum legal speed even on a freeway is 70mph.

AFAIK anti-missile shields aren't a realistic option. Modern ICBM designs have multiple independently targetable warheads. There are also submarines with nuclear missiles. You can also launch decoys (eg: aluminium foil or flares).

And uh. Recently, I was reading a book called Skunk Works. The author explains that, basically, the US was able to keep the existence of stealth fighters a secret from the public (and Russia) for years and years. He also mentions the idea of a stealth ICBM multiple times in the book (which was published in 1995). That's when it hit me. That technology already exists. Russia and the US probably have an arsenal of stealth ICBMs. They're just not publicly boasting about it, but if you think about it, there's no reason that technology wouldn't exist, particularly since military contractors were already thinking about it over 25 years ago.
In addition to what others have said about the video's author being discredited in other, similar claims, many of the statements made on the CISA are trivially true, if you stop and think. E.g.,

> Rumor: If a social media account claims an identity, the account must be run by that person or organization.

I could claim to be the King of France himself right here, right now, but that wouldn't make it so.

As Buster (the rabbit) said: Someone would do that? Just go on the Internet and lie?

As another example, the claim that a website outage could be caused by something other than hacking — is trivial to prove by thinking about it. High load — particularly on election night, likely the busiest night for an election site — can cause the site to go down.

Further, most of them are backed by citations, many to not CISA. Even if you think "it's a giant federal conspiracy" many of the claims are still trivially fact checked by punching them into Google, where non-federal and non-governmental sources further back them up. (E.g., that voter rolls are generally public can be fact-checked that way.)
> Mail-in ballots are secret ballots

I’ve knocked on doors in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Many registered Democrats (usually the wife) denied being Democrats when their partners were around. I thought this was an error in our data until I revisited the neighbourhood. Husband wasn’t home. Wife scolded us. He is an ardent Republican and wouldn’t appreciate how she votes.

Mail-in ballots let voters verify their vote to third parties. That opens them up to external influence, positive (pay for votes) or negative (fired for voting wrong).

We had no choice this year. But there is a real tradeoff in privacy for vulnerable people. We shouldn't lose sight of that trade-off while pushing for turnout.

TL;DR: Dads very rarely get more than 50/50 custody in most states. If parents play equal roles, states range from 50/50, to primary custody to the Mom. For Mom to get less than 50/50, she's probably on drugs, in prison, or actively abusive, and even in some of those cases, Mom gets pretty significant custody.
