If france wants to institute their own great firewall then they should just do that rather than engaging in twisted extra-national half measures that make liability confusing for everyone.
Sure, but "must never leave the HSM" is much easier to audit for and much more difficult to screw up. This entire thing (allegedly) happened because of faulty logic; categorically disallowing as much logic as possible…
You seem to be agreeing with me. I said it's an open question so expecting me to rigorously answer it in an HN comment is quite absurd, no? There's nothing unfalsifiable about pointing out that we don't know something.…

Not at all. It's an open question and it's also probably semantically ambiguous. It's cliche to the extent that recently it comes up repeatedly. Regardless of all that it's nonetheless a valid question.

In the case of nuclear arsenals that's perfectly fine - MAD simply needs to be plausible, not robustly demonstrated. In the case of CAs I'd argue that the description doesn't really fit since they're getting stress…
The entire system (CAs and ICANN DNS) was never good to begin with; it's just become that much worse due to the shifting situation over the years. It's an inherently centralized design with no way to verify that…
I was about to reply with "they didn't have a choice" but on second thought perhaps CAs are important enough that they should never be allowed to export keys from an HSM and should instead be required to physically…
Doesn't that also fetch the content directly? So depending on the logic of the filter it likely won't make any difference.
Ah yes, adopting the standard cloudflare approach. "Contact the site administrator to resolve this" but no contact details are provided.
If only a reverse plea deal gambit were realistic. Counter with an offer to accept $10k and an apology for malpractice in exchange for her not going after those involved. Unfortunately a decent chunk of the justice…
You're not entirely wrong but I think that description of the situation is rather heavily colored by partisanship. Being lenient about a very limited subset of crime that "the system" is particularly ineffective at…
No, the state should fine them directly just as it would with any other civil offense. In technical terms, any directors active during the duration of the offense should be held jointly liable. This works because we…
Stuff like this is highly context dependent. It is a good thing that apt asks about each step. I voluntarily add more of this by opting for things like listbugs. If I then decide to override such protections with a -y…

Petty criminals are not the only black hat hackers that exist. An immediate monetary payout is not the only motivation for breaking into the computer system of a service that's essential to society.
There's approximately three possibilities that could lead to you believing that. Either you haven't formed close relationships with such people (unlikely), you lack the awareness to realize who they are, or you are one…
I look at it from a close but slightly different angle. I think the spinning wheels and jumping around that you describe is an aesthetic of being productive as opposed to actual productivity and that the drugs can…

I don't think that's correct. You're describing a limitation of our physical computing devices (or perhaps physical reality itself) as opposed to a theoretical reality. At least as far as I can tell.
> encode arbitrary (but not infinite) information What leads you to claim that you can't encode infinite information given an infinite set to work with?
That's a false dichotomy. One possible solution to the problem being bad doesn't mean that the status quo is actually good or that there aren't workable possibilities that are reasonable. A broken clock is right twice a…
I think I'd prefer open source hardware built from off the shelf components glued into a secure enclosure. That way you can destructively audit a few at random if the application matters enough to justify the cost.
