Not even a small scale election run by and for cryptographers can be held online without complexity rearing its ugly head.

Go figure a general election!
The International Association for Cryptologic Research has used heliosvoting.org – my online voting system – for a number of years.

This year, a trustee lost their secret key. The election has to be re-run.

Below, a few thoughts that didn't fit in the NYT piece.

Technocratic autocracy is the end goal here, and they're not even hiding it anymore.

The four pillars of disordered doubt:
Doubt the Evidence
Doubt the Source
Doubt the Process
Doubt the Claim
Each pillar corrodes truth validation in a different way, but together they build epistemic collapse.

Some people think this is an exaggeration but I will say that if I were HHS Secretary and my goal were to kill as many children as possible, it would be difficult to distinguish the actions I would take from those that Kennedy has taken.

"Apologists for Israel might want to reject the charge of genocide [and] suggest its hyperbole or even antisemitic, but the actual experts on genocide know a genocide when they see one - and they see one in Gaza."

La domanda non è solo come siamo finiti nelle mani di intelletti simili; è anche e soprattutto dove questi trovino l’arroganza e l’indifferenza che serve per spararla continuamente grossa anche mentre gli effetti delle loro cazzate si riversano già su ampie fasce della popolazione.

Pazzesco.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Thank goodness for people like former WAPO cartoonist @anntelnaes.bsky.social, American hero. This may only be the rough of the cartoon she planned to run before she was told she couldn't, but it speaks volumes, perhaps, especially in this form.

Probabilmente siamo di fronte ad un tipping point climatico Se neppure la NINA riuscirà ad abbassare le temperature globali del 2025 al di sotto di quelle del 2023 significherà aver raggiunto uno scalino non più percorribile a ritroso.
La temperatura dell'aria a livello globale nel 2024 si è mantenuta su valori eccezionalmente alti, simile a quella del 2023 ma leggermente più elevata. In lieve calo, ma sempre su valori record, le temperature superficiali del mari.
