That’s precisely my point. The question is what a crew mortality rate of 1 in 30 means. If it means that, on average, a team member dies every 30 flights, with a crew of four, it’s likely there are fatalities in ‘only’ one in every 120 flig

I think they mean FSpOpenDF ( https://dev.os9.ca/techpubs/mac/Files/Files-53.html#HEADING5... ), a (relatively) late addition to the Mac API.

I don’t think extensions ever write that file; Firefox writes it whenever its in-memory set of installed extensions is updated. When Firefox finds new extensions, it updates the in-memory set for each of them. In the typical case that serie

FTA: “Amazon also warned performing a factory reset on affected Kindles will make them unusable.” How does that work? Does a factory reset require access to an Amazon server? Did an update break the factory reset mechanism?

I don’t think that’s a valid comparison. It compares two entirely different cases. In general, if the guts of Foo are similar to those of Bar, translating Foo to Bar is fairly easy. If Foo has additional guts, as in the C++-to-ℂ translator,

TLDR: the idea is - to have a convention to, instead of signing “payloads, to always sign “type identifier + payload”, to prevent adversaries from reusing your signature to sign the same payload, interpreted as a different type. - use 64-bi
