pvote.org seems like a decent solution, it's <500 lines of code that needs to be audited. That doesn't handle auditing the machines themselves, but as the 2016 US presidential election recount found in Wisconsin, the tamper-evi

The War on Giant Asteroids is unwinnable. That's why we should instead fund the War on Giant Asteroids Piloted by Dinosaurs. We kicked their asses 6,000 years ago, we can do it again!

> to get back to pre-bubble level Do you mean "rebubble," or is there some reason Priceline should be worth $100bn? They do about $400-500m in profit(?) a quarter, for $1.5-2bn/year. Is it the 22% margin that's so at

The point of the article is that disruption depends on market. Infotainment in India might be like the "not-getting-beaten-up-for-overbooking" of United.

It seems like GP is calculating 20 years worth of subscription cost. Seems reasonable, but I'd also stop using most subscriptions before 20 years: 5 years seems more likely. I'd probably cancel a subscription if I stopped using th

Nope, it's too wishy-washy for you to judge the potential for violation in a forum post. The 4 criteria have to be interpreted with respect to the situation at hand, and hypotheticals are almost impossible to interpret rationally. Rep

It's more than liability, reducing physical access requirements opens up a much larger attack surface. I know if someone's opened up my skull. I assume everyone has some sort of multi-band wireless transceiver in their pocket, be

No way you can open the nyancat device as read-only. Clearly, it only opens as O_ORLY.

I've just been waiting for someone to send them a bill. How much money have their tools cost folks in time, money, hardware, and personnel, even in just the last year? How much money have their unpatched exploits cost? How's that

Well, no, it is self-inconsistent in places [0]. However, as you mention, those are probably minor points compared to how it contradicts existing standards, like the Gregorian calendar [1], date representation, and language codes. 0: http

The spec isn't actually self-consistent, so it's not clear that it can ever actually be implemented: http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20080328090328998 http://www.consortiuminfo.org/standar

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Keystroke Level Modeling (KLM) or CogTool (github.com/cogtool/cogtool), which divides up UI interactions into discrete actions with specific times. It gives a pretty reasonable estimate overall

The only backup I know of is getting another key that you register in the same way as the first key. Hopefully they don't both break at the same time.

NSLs? With them, any action is intimately related to active investigations, because they're completely without oversight.

I'm confused: would the teens accused of sending their own pictures be both the offender and the victim? Could they (or their parents) just choose to drop charges against themselves?

Apparently there's a second, completed, ROM that was never released. It contains features the leaked ROM doesn't, at least according to the folks who worked on SF-Zero, who played it as research.
