It’s amusing how much HN expects from “the outer world”.
Companies can adopt new tech in 1-2 years. Industries have around 5-10 years inertia. Bureaucracies like courts still live in the past millenia. You should be happy that they are using email.
The best security measure they will implement after this article going wide is something like “only emails from @<domain> are valid, but we’ll destroy you anyway in case a judge mistakenly sends you an order from his own gmail”.

- fallingknife 3y agoIf you don't move fast with new tech, you are broken. E.g. the article in this post.
- respondo2134 3y agoThe implied assumption here is that everything needs to adopt new tech. Lots of things are essentially "as perfect as we're going to get them" and everything new is a very marginal improvement or a big step backwards.
