Probably the stores in english canada mostly just sell english keyboards (after all you can change the keymapping in OS). Maybe it would be different in a city that is 50-50, but if you are in a city that is 90-10 english, probably not a lo

I recall seeing that on typewriters when i was a kid (in the 90s). I dont know if i ever saw it on a computer keyboard.

Presumably in a real application there would be a list of acceptable operations. Like first you have to show you can do everything necessary in the system which is what this paper does. Step 2 is coming up with a policy of what restrictions

Of course it depends on what type of application you are running whether a caching layer like varnish makes sense. I'm not saying its universal just really common if you are operating at scale.

I mean at scale you probably have TLS termination -> caching layer -> webserver -> fpm -> php. All probably written in different languages. I find this argument kind of unconvincing. At scale you want your components to be rock

I was kind of wondering too. I assume this only works if you load a lot of classes before touching request specific variables. That might work for big framework, but you probably have to rewrite a lot if not using one. From a pragmatic pers

I'll blame America for it.

> Canada is too intertwined with the US to truly divorce the US or even shift significant trade to Europe. Its going to be painful no doubt, but you can do lots of painful things when you don't have a choice. I think its ultimately

Screaming from the rooftop might feel good, but its ultimately not productive. Sometimes i think americans would rather let a problem run its course than fix it, just so they can say i told you so.

The rhetoric was backed by action. That is what makes it different than trolling Not to mention Trudeau has been gone for a while now, so I dont know how that is relavent.

No, but lets be real, the problem isn't just Trump. If Kamala wins by an inch, that still means USA is not a place you can trust. Stability is important. Not to mention the total unwillingness of congress to restrain trump. The america

This hardly seems knee-jerk. Relations with USA has been deteriorating for a while now. At this point, i think most people no longer view this as a trump related fluke but the bew status quo, which is why canada is scrambling for alternativ

Be deeply ironic if USA revives the British Empire.

Meh, if you need a computer program to understand an API its a bad api. APIs should make sense inherently. An IDE can band-aid a bad design, but that doesn't make it a good design.

If the people in charge call it that, then its that. If the people in charge aren't using that terminology, then it isn't that.

That blockchain approach doesn't really solve the problem. The point is to have a chain of trust.

I agree that he has used the term "unique alliance", but he seems to dislike the term "associate member" and is denying it as it is playing poorly among some segments of canadian society (mostly right wing)

by bawolff 10d ago
Which is kind of my point. A unique alliance is not the same as becoming an associate member.

> It's current legal basis is a series of treaties But that meets the normal definition of a constitution. Just because the document isn't named the "constitution" doesn't make it any less of one. Most countries

EU already has a constitution (?)

Do you have a citation for that? What was the exact quote?

Canadian government seems to be denying this.

On top of that, they have a revocation system in place to try and deal with that eventuality.
25.
by bawolff 10d ago
I mean, the obvious one is that they can revoke certification of a photo despite it being real. The harder one is they can force apple to certify a fake photo. the part that would be very hard but not outside the realm of plausibility, is t

I'm not sure i would describe the linked exploit as "trivial", but nonetheless point taken. Ultimately though, i think all this might just mean we do not have a practical solution to this problem. just to throw out some naive

This is cool, but also seem really complex and i'm not sure it makes sense pragmatically. - it sounds like its an optional mode you have to enable. That kind of defeats the point if you need to prove something after the fact - i guess

The main way we combat insurance fraud is by throwing people in jail who do it. I dont think AI faked photos is a major cause of fraud.

by bawolff 10d ago
I dont think this is relavent to that use case. It seems like this proposal would be an optional off by default feature. They also seem to be going to lengths to make it privacy first so the verified photos cannot be linked to a specific ph

presumably the metadata reader app would be integrated into the photo viewer app which would verify the digital sigs. I have my doubts about this scheme but this is not one of them. If the point is that someone in principle could verify, th
