Yup. In a response to "Even if we pretend for a moment that there was some merit to the 'web3 smart contract', by now it should be painfully clear to anyone involved that this is a technological dead end."

Of course there's no better platform than "web3" for developers who do the "web3" stuff. "Windows is the best platform to develop apps for Windows".

However. As a platform web3 is a failure. And for developers literally everything outside crypto is a better platform. For users, too.

See the price difference though. $140 for this version of Office, up front, against Office 365 for 6.99/mo.

Most people will pick the latter for cost. It would take a full two years of payments for O365 to equate the price.

There is no API to actually handle trust.
If you are asking `curl` or `openssl` to verify the chain, it needs to read it from somewhere. By convention, there is `OPENSSLDIR`, for example.

But that just tells us where the root certs are, not much more.
In the API, I load the root CAs and check validity of the cert, nothing beyond that.

And I can do that in multiple different TLS engines.

Given that there is no API for this, all the TLS engines need to re-implement this logic.
Hell, in most cases, even things like validity range checks are handled by the applicative logic.

On Windows, there is the builtin TLS API `schannel` which means that you have a lot more structure / order in this. Including the ability to express those sort of details.

There is another aspect, as well. You need to be able to express those issues as errors, otherwise the user is going to be left with a broken box and no idea what is going on.

Indeed. The crazy thing is that we’ve come not just full circle, but full spiral. I used to tell people that the internet is better than zapping on TV, and other consumption media, precisely because you are in control – nothing will happen without you choosing to.

All of the above is not just false today, but we have even more passive entertainment. TikTok has been promoted precisely because the only feature is zapping, for the vast majority of users.

My biggest problem with Latch is the latency.

To say nothing of whether it seems like that reader is having a bad day, and I have to use a different door with a functioning reader.

The old key fob unlocked the door instantly (no noticeable lag) 100% of the time without fail. And I didn’t have to have a spare hand to “unlock” my fob to use it.

The intuition was probably that the risks from smoking were higher than that of covid..

For starters, not everyone is going to catch covid, but everyone taking up "preventive" smoking is going to become a smoker and be included in the well-known statistics relating to that.

Also, people are extremely drawn to "indulgent" solutions.. The mental gymnastics we do to excuse "a little bit of X is healthy for Y" are astounding as long as X also just so happens to work on the brains reward systems..

Coffee, wine, chocolate, relaxation.. We're strongly motivated to seek out their benefits.. We're generally less motivated to do the same for plain water, healthy diet and exercise.

Even hinting there might be _something_ _anything_ positive about smoking will in my opinion, without cause more people to take it up/keep it up and cause more self-harm than the good it could possible do for them.

Is that a coverup ? Or is it simply not saying something that's basically going to be misunderstood to the point of being wrong?

There are things that are true in very specific circumstances, but when uttered to the general public, will mean something entirely different and no longer be true.
Does it? Under the approach of storing a public key in DNS, certs can be issued long after the person asking for one has lost access to the website, if the pubkey record hasn't been deleted.

With http-01, ownership has to be proven every time a new cert is issued.

> Such an attacker would likely have also stolen the TLS private key, but that only stays valid for 90 days

That doesn't have to be the case; the private key can be valid for as long as someone wants it to be, unrelated to the validation period of the cert that is issued. Yes, it does look like certbot generates a new keypair for every renewal, but in a world where we were putting a pubkey in a DNS record, the private key would certainly have a much longer validity, as otherwise there'd be no point to doing it this way in the first place.
Yes, there are roles that allow an admin or legal team to review all sorts of activity across M365. That’s not MSFT, though.

I can’t bear being in the same room when my fiancé’s niece watches tiktok due to the constant barrage of extremely annoying music snippets. The average time spent on a video is about a dozen seconds, so the creators try to put the most attention-grabbing, dopamine-inducing, annoying music on every video. Imagine the average brostep song from the 2010s, filtered through layers of autotune and pitch-shifting, condensed into 10 seconds.

Pretty sure you want to create a new event object new each time. I think it prevents cancellation or maybe event resetting. The article's example seems like it works, though. Who knows what sort of magic is going on inside the browser as this is a super common pattern - even half of MDNs examples use events this way.

Maybe I'm just old school. In my brain I envision an event object as a sort of data closure around whatever just happened to cause the event, like the timestamp, activation details, etc. So you'd want to make a new one each time you dispatch it. Then again, maybe the browser modifies all that bit in the dispatchEvent function.

I'll have to test. Anyone already know?
Well Trump has a few investigations going so hopefully next year the Dems will be rendered impotent and unable to bury the Hunter Biden investigation.

I've always considered the Dems to be incredibly corrupt. I dont really know what Trump has or hasn't done because my only sources are the media and the media is garbage.

But for me the Democrats politicizing/weaponizing the FBI/Justice system for example, is way more corrupt than whatever stupid real-estate developer BS Trump has done (if he has in fact, done something).

> There is another aspect, as well. You need to be able to express those issues as errors, otherwise the user is going to be left with a broken box and no idea what is going on.

TLS libraries are terrible at this. Part of it is C: the "integer is the only error type you'll ever need" cannot convey the necessary context, such as which cert is the problem.

Having a library might also help with path building bugs. I've seen bugs in both OpenSSL and GnuTLS in building a correct path, and both just from when the ISRG cross-sign expired.

… and maybe a more complicated data structure in /etc/certs (or whatever the path is) will keep prying vendors out. I've seen a lot of people make out of band changes there, and I would suspect those qualify as "undefined behavior", but OpenSSL's docs don't seem to answer the question of "what happens if vendors do random stuff?" (Like drop non-CA certs into the list of CAs, or don't update the symlinks that seem to form an index…)

No! (Unless your state is different but I highly doubt it). Tell me which state is not like this?

The law in Ohio forbids a landlord from evicting a tenant in any way except through the court system. The landlord must successfully win an eviction lawsuit before a tenant can be evicted. It is illegal for a landlord to try to force a tenant to leave a rental unit by shutting off the utilities, changing the locks, or interfering in any other way with the tenant's ability to live in the rental unit

"No landlord of residential premises shall initiate any act, including termination of utilities or services, exclusion from the premises, or threat of any unlawful act, against a tenant, or a tenant whose right to possession has terminated, for the purpose of recovering possession of residential premises, other than as provided in Chapters 1923., 5303., and 5321. of the Revised Code.

(B) No landlord of residential premises shall seize the furnishings or possessions of a tenant, or of a tenant whose right to possession has terminated, for the purpose of recovering rent payments, other than in accordance with an order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(C) A landlord who violates this section is liable in a civil action for all damages caused to a tenant, or to a tenant whose right to possession has terminated, together with reasonable attorneys fees."

No, because an L2 rollup isn't a typical cloud server. It's a form of verifiable computation: the server does some computation, and after a while posts a cryptographic proof of the state changes to a more secure ledger (the L1).

The benefit of this is that you get a high throughput system that inherits the same security guarantees as the L1. This is why something like a ZK rollup operator cannot "steal your funds" compared to something like a CEX operator.

Yes, it could, and rightly so. Note that I’m not saying it should. I don’t know the details, and certainly can’t judge whether the (potential) benefits of this research warrant the suffering to animals.

What you should be angry about is not the existence of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Welfare_Act_of_1966, but the, as far as I can tell, nonexistence of federal laws regulating the treatment of farm animals (they are excluded from that law, and https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/farm-animal-protecti... says there aren’t similar federal laws regulating their welfare. The list of state laws at https://www.humanesociety.org/sites/default/files/docs/HSUS_... also is very short)

Also note that animal welfare laws typically aren’t about the killing of animals, but about their suffering. Society at large isn’t ready for forbidding the killing of animals for food or for medical research.
This. Big 4 consultants are also needed by law or by convention in a lot of places for auditing and such tasks. If it's for actual consultancy services, the decision has already been made.
