You can do it the other way around. If the signature seems fishy, you set it aside unopened, and only do further validation before opening it if the election is close enough for it to matter. For example, in an election with 100 votes cast.

There actually are very few legal restrictions on naming minors. There is substantially more scrutiny applied to false reporting when it involves accusing a minor of a crime. Most of the time when publications refuse to name a minor it’s be

It depends on the type of employee. Customer service agents typically don’t work from home (apart from our current situation of course). They often don’t have access to their equipment outside of working hours. This makes it quite a bit mor

Insider access may not be as expensive as you think. Some of the lowest paid employees (e.g. customer service like roles) at tech companies have relatively broad access to systems. Those employees routinely underestimate both the likelihood

Typically social engineering attacks are excluded. However given the large scale of this attack, there’s an argument to be made that there should be systems in place to limit the damage one rogue (or manipulated) employee can do.

def returning the method name as a symbol wasn’t added until ruby 2.1, and doesn’t seem to have been compelling enough to cause people to change their ways.

The new Apple processors will be ARM based like the iPhone and iPad processors. Rosetta 2 is Apple’s built in translation later from x86-64.

This is unsurprising. Both because it's Apple, but also because the kits are meant to enable testing on real hardware, not to be actual hardware.

The wood pellets are interesting —- if we were growing forests at the same rate as we consume them via the pellets, would it be close enough to a closed loop system?

Though I agree making the interior sexy is not particularly important. I think a large portion of SpaceX’s success thus far is due to making space sexy and interesting to the public again.

I think the problem with standardized tests is that they're standardized; you can prepare for them. It reduces both the effectiveness and the equity, because preparation for the tests is something that rich kids will have better time a

I started on trackpads with the separate buttons, but now click with my index finger. I’ve found that the longer I’ve used the MacBook touch pads (and especially since they went fully non-mechanical) the more I dislike other touch pads.

Things have changed (unless they changed back). Food hasn’t been in house for nearly two years. Only a small portion of customer support are direct employees. Most physical security was outsourced too.

3% week to date might change (in either direction). SCC reports tests by date of specimen collection, so the last 2 days are definitely not complete data, and a significant portion of the last 5 days are not either.

It certainly confers immunity for a short period of time. How long that immunity lasts for is unknown, but it’s not unreasonable to start with an assumption of “at least a few months”. There’s also not strong evidence that there are two suf
