GDS are clearly aware of this problem and are working on this as well, with "GOV.UK Accounts" [0] https://gds.blog.gov.uk/2020/09/22/introducing-gov-uk-accoun...

I really don't get what you're saying here. You get paid for 100% of your time, you just get to work on something beyond your direct responsibilities that still benefits Google for 20% of it. If you're alluding to "120%

The other main issue is bandwidth. For a CRL, Apple has to serve the full list of revoked serial numbers (or some shard of it), even if 90% of users don’t have 90% of the revoked apps installed. I can’t remember where I read this, but I rec

Randomised Controlled Trial - essentially, take a population, give half of them the vaccine, and half a placebo, and study the reaction. What you're referring to (voluntarily infecting people) are challenge trials, which are also being

My word, what is that page doing? Just opening it is enough to slow my laptop to a crawl (it isn’t the fastest in the world, but it can handle most web browsing just fine). Peeking at the Chrome DevTools shows it’s using over 500MB (not a t

Strictly speaking, it doesn't "stop you from running the resulting JavaScript". The result isn't the same as if you'd run the JS directly, but it doesn't fail to output.

I like the idea, but the de-Unicodifier would have to use the current user's locale - de-Unicodifying certain characters (e.g. Cyrillic that look like English) would have unintended consequences if you just assumed they're meant t

How about GitLab then? The CEO is Dutch, working (AIUI) in SF, and the engineering team are all remote. The company is incorporated in the Netherlands, US, UK, and a load of other countries. Does that make them principally a Dutch, America

This is a very difficult problem to solve. As far as I know (and am welcome to be corrected!), the current state of the art is remote attestation - Signal wrote a post about how they're doing it for their contact discovery service[0].

With Chrome you can go to chrome://flags, find “unsafely treat insecure origins as secure”, and allowlist your dev server.

That's on just one computer. Depending on how many servers (read: how much in AWS credits) you have access to, you could parallelise it nearly infinitely.
