That is not true. See work by Andrew Neff on verifiable shuffles of secrets. It is practical to produce a proof that can be verified by the voter but not useful in proving which way the ballot has been cast to anyone else.

Yeah, there are consequences for challanging establishment views on certain topics, but nobody is throwing critics such as Noam Chompsky in jail, taking passports away from his family and restricting their movements, or doing the same to th

Yeah, some very bad things have happened. Not excusing that. But also things have worked out really really well for a lot of countries the US has imposed its will on. Countries it went to war with and could have utterly raped and plundered

Well, I'm the head of this family and this family supports the republicrats, so I'm going to be looking at your phone honey, to make sure you don't make a mistake. Or, I'm offering $10 to you, junkie, to support my party

It's not that helpful for elections. The ballot is secured by ensuring that people can't vote more than once and that they can't be easily coerced into voting a certain way. Allowing significant remote voting destroys ballot

Are you really putting your money where your mouth is? Even if I have shares I think are worthless, your offer to buy them is also worthless, so why bother? Actually, your offer is worse than nothing, as I would spend hours dealing with the

It's perfectly reasonable to assign weight to the numbers. We should think about their meaning. If I had to choose I'd definitely take having my message history dumped over being raped. That said, having my private messages made p

Yes, apparently something like 8000 incidents of attempted solicitation of children on Facebook last year. I'm not saying E2E and encryption of data at rest doesn't benefit these scumbags. It does, no doubt, and that's exactl

According to this NYT article law enforcement at all levels have done very little even in the years before encryption was widespread. Apparently the vast majority of intel on this stuff comes from Facebook auto generating reports. https:&#

Why should the burden of solving that be placed on the defenders of privacy? The people calling for the power to spy on everyone have not offered any explanation of how backdooring everyone's communication reduces sexual abuse of child

It was satire, I was only kidding. As of this time I believe about 0% of posts here are manipulated. It's not to say we're not all exposed to propaganda and spin all the time, just that HN is not a forum that makes sense to target

I don't believe it's happening here unless we want to count the Rust Evangelism Strike Force. If it were then you would have noticed or people doing analysis on the public data would have posted reports of accounts involved and ho

I can't speak for the person you are replying to, but I already decided, so I don't need to show evidence for anything. I feel so much less guilty about all the time I waste here having total confidence that tier 1 state actors ar

No excuse. This is Square Canada. They made a promise to this client and it's not like they stopped taking money on her behalf as soon as they realized there was a problem. Whatever backend problems they have are their own problem and

They need to just give her the $14k immediately and then eat it if it's a problem. Stop processing the transactions going forward or until it's sorted out, but do not steal her money. Also, I found this distasteful: "I want t

Yes, if only the powers that be could let go of dictatorial control of our finances. But that's just not the way it is. Nothing anonymous can be tolerated.

Late reply, sorry. My understanding is that the now suspended new law would make it legal for Beijing to have a person taken from Hong Kong with nothing more than the signoff of the CE, who is basically Beijing's appointee. It's m

What's that worth to Hong Kongers when they can simply be renditioned to Beijing? Does it make sense to you why Americans were extremely upset when the US government did that to people in foreign countries during the Bush administratio

Mixers do not work for any significant amount of Bitcoin. There just isn't sufficient cover traffic. Blockchain analysis firms put the effort into the teduis task of untangling them.

But it wasn't a valuable experiment. Absolutely nothing was learned from it. It's some combination of delusion and fraud. Here's a video from 2014 discussing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obS6TUVSZds
