You missed the part where registering to vote requires ID in the first place, so the only thing being added are opportunities to deny the right to vote which has already been asserted.

Depending on the timeline, it could be that they're not allowed to access Mythos because of something like non-US citizens on the team or the lack of some way for them to meet the constraint DOD has them under.
This is not an opinion piece, which is clear as soon as you open the article.

What is the "LLVM provenance bug"?
When something has negative outcomes, the thing requires justification.

I'd think the decline of CTS is better explained by improvements in our material design: our interfaces with the physical world are much less hostile today than in '90 and cause us less harm. For example, consider the NES/N64 controllers versus a modern PS5 controller.
"Since 2024" means from the beginning of 2025, not "during 2024".

Did you reply to the wrong comment? This doesn't answer anything about the average the OP asked about.
Rijndael was selected over Serpent for performance reasons.

Games at that size are not clocking in because of their models and textures. It's from use of lossless, uncompressed audio files, and shipping multiple language files.

The issue is most common on games that release on consoles, but also for ones that want to support older hardware: the audio formats they use are designed to minimize the amount of decompression necessary for play, and so reduce resource requirements in exchange for storage space.

Case law, not truth. Judges do not decide fact.
Boomerang attacks on SHA-0 have a complexity on the order of 2^33.
Except that we do have a massive number of recorded temperatures across a massive number of locations in the last 100 years. Climate models, some dating back to the 1970s, have correctly predicted global temperature changes in the 50 years since based on this data.

The measurements are real, and there is an established history of the models being generally correct (if not in specific details) by now. Climate study is not the new science you seem to think it is.

Climate models as far back as the 1970s have predicted the temperature changes in the time from then to now -- those are not predictions that are coming from hindsight, but rather predictions where their effects were observed over the last 50 years.

If you are unfamiliar with climate sensitivity, this is a good place to start: https://skepticalscience.com/climate-sensitivity.htm

The current consensus on the impact of climate is NOT "something that might not happen".

Climate change is happening right now, with effects that are observable as trends across the globe. Even the most optimistic model is predicting widespread catastrophe.

Yes, weather is climate. But that isn't what OP said.
Are you claiming that it is not possible to find a trend in a mean temperature of a great many points across the globe, over a long period of time?

What makes such a measurement an "invalid form"?

Rendering is likely blocked on mouse interrupts.
I don't think this is correct. The timing attacks here all require extremely high resolution timers, and network + I/O latency would obscure the variance entirely.
Take another look at the table - the values are denominated in millions of dollars, and that second symbol is a comma, not a period, so it's 19 million million.
