Looks like they've discovered double-entry accounting...
...at last ;)
Surprised to see people surprised of this site. It's been up for some years!
Unbreak doesn't work on WAPO!?

Is this serious scientific writing?
"[...] the gravitational force the Earth exerts on you is canceled out in a freely falling elevator" and "[...] it is impossible to distinguish acceleration from gravity"? Seriously?
Isn't acceleration the result of force? Isn't gravity a force? When you are in free fall you accelerate, gravity doesn't "cancel out"!

I suspect that here in Europe you can't spoof caller ID :)
Please correct the title. The actual article's title is different!

Does this reduce AWS charges in some way?
Well, North Korea is not complaining about TLS 1.3, why would banks have to? Their proxy servers are already MITM platforms that meet their needs for security.
Found it! The "HTTPS Everywhere" add-on causes this (may have something to do with CORS as well).
It seems that the redacted text at the top left of every non-letterheaded page is probably "File No.NSL-XX-XXXXXX" (where the Xs stand for the actual numbers). The file/ref number is at the first page, under the FBI logo and is also mentioned at the end of the letter, for use instead of the letter's details. So, why redact it?
got it working with the following:
window.location=window.URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([localStorage.getItem('hn_saved')],{type:'x-whatever/x-backup'}));
file name is weird (I'm a JS newb!)
Anyone find a way to do this in Firefox as well? It seems to work; except, it won't save the data in CSV. I'll try to get the raw JSON data...
There are many technical problems with this piece. Is "oversimplification" the cause?
Quotes from Prof Alan Woodward sound strange. Consider the statement "Given enough time, all algorithms can be reverse-engineered" about random number generators. There are no "secret" RNGs in software (except in DIY projects) and they should never get into production software or OSs IMHO.

So, which statement is right/better?
Also, why isn't "homomorphic encryption" mentioned at all since that's what this is all about?
Am I wrong or the phrase "a type of mathematical protocol for convincing someone that something is true without revealing any details of why it is true" is wrong and should be "a type of mathematical protocol for allowing someone to verify that something is true without revealing any details of how it is calculated to be true?"
I like the Greek word comments, they greatly help my understanding of the meanings (I'm Greek; Greek words have more nuance).
I think LyX is a great idea, but I had a couple of problems with it:
1. Support for the Greek language is not good
2. Found it difficult to manage and create my own templates
I have a printout of the disassembly of that virus (in wide format fanfold) from around then. When I come across it I'll donate it to the Hellenic IT Museum...
