The main problem here is that people who lack access to the document effectively can't participate in the discussions, if there isn't enough public information about the document accessible by other means. You can discuss the gene

This means every single thing must be very carefully rewritten. You can not cite every single sentence in the full document, you would have to mimic Wine and rewrite the entire thing until your lawyers aren't worried about getting sued

If you want it to be done externally without setting up a routing table then the next best option would be some kind of traffic tagging to indicate what you want to go over which line. That would start looking like a network with multiple V

If either your ISP exposes that ability or if you maintain multiple outbound connections, then yes. But I don't think this is commonly implemented today, however. You would probably have to configure your own routing table to direct tr

Capabilities systems are designed specifically for this purpose. In such a system, a capability specifically for the user's right to access A and B is exposed as handle / token, and services A and B can't access anything with

No. CDA section 230 covers all online services. There is no special social media exception. The only way for the service to be a dumb pipe is to not involve any kind of promotion or ranking algorithms to it, other than spam filtering. In ot

How are those tokens less complicated to use than a private keypair? How do you ensure that the votes are cast anonymously, without leaking metadata from timing, etc?

Then how else do you validate the identity of the voter? What do you gain if you can't prevent fraud by inserting fake votes?

Maybe some predictions. Not all. Especially with the tampering work the postal service, extra delays in counting of mail-in votes were expected. Predicted. https://mobile.twitter.com/Natanael_L/status/1323187825735

You're assuming a relative scale, I'm assuming an absolute scale.

Yes and no. Techniques like Zero-knowledge proofs, homomorphic encryption and multiparty computation exists, but none of them are sufficient for elections. The security requirements are simply too complex, and we can't require that eve

Yes they are, and several states followed up with manual hand counts. This includes Georgia (which performed 3 manual recounts!).

Chances are they're forgetting that Trump actively discouraged his supporters from voting by mail, which along with the fact that most states counted mail-in votes last meant that most Trump votes were counted early while most Biden vo

For internet services in general (and most other non-broadcast communications), free speech laws in many jurisdictions prevent most (or all) types of content regulation.

There's nothing moderate about them. They're just not sufficiently extreme for the taste of those audiences. They fell under scrutiny that some of their smaller competitors aren't facing, so they're trying to maintain pl

I also don't think there's a strong correlation / causation, but this isn't solid proof. If there was a causation then the reduction in violent crime could be muted by a small factor due to games, while the net decrease

One of the problems here is when Amazon has one shared item listing for multiple sellers. A bad review for the product due to one seller's shipping hurts all the other sellers too.

Steam has done something smart here by displaying both the total score and a recent trend score, so you can see if recent changes has made the game better or worse.

While they probably can't be forced to publish negative reviews, I think it could be viable to use false advertising laws against misrepresenting the product / service through manipulating reviews.

That would be an act of submitting false evidence, where you actively make a false claim regarding who the sample belongs to. Which is very distinctly different from a passive act of not maintaining evidence of the origin of every single th

I would actually like to see combination of the two tested. Such as a greyscale high resolution e-ink base and a transparent layer of Mirasol like color pixels that can activate. Kind of mimicking CMYK from print, and LED TV:s locally adjus

I would expect any half decent prosecutor to focus on how the emails were acquired when a verifiable DKIM signature is missing. Then the defense doesn't even need to bring that argument up, just challenge the provenance of the evidence
