Did they say why not?

"The FBI formally notified the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) on Feb. 13 that it will not provide the BCA with access to any information or evidence that it has collected in the Jan. 24 shooting death of Alex Pretti. The BCA reiterated the request to receive information, access to evidence, and cooperation in the Jan. 7 shooting death of Renee Good and the Jan. 14 shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis. It remains unclear if there will be any cooperation or sharing of information related to those two shootings.

"While this lack of cooperation is concerning and unprecedented, the BCA is committed to thorough, independent and transparent investigations of these incidents, even if hampered by a lack of access to key information and evidence. Our agency has committed to the FBI and Department of Justice that should its stance change we remain willing to share information that we have obtained with that agency and would welcome a joint investigation. We will continue to pursue all legal avenues to gain access to relevant information and evidence."

For special security reasons I will rely exclusively on a stolen horse—a good one that looks like it could run—for transport from the back of Rose's Cantina, away from the West Texas town of El Paso, and out to the badlands of New Mexico.

#opaque

has anyone gotten #Antora with #asciidoctor #bibtex to work? I would really love to use Antora as a front end for some kind of paper with lots of citations.

All I get is an error about #opaque in #npm I cannot get fixed.

Today was #rage and #pullrequests.

1. Yes, #hardcoded #opaque identifiers are a little tiny bit faster in this task that runs for a couple of minutes on an irregular, on-demand basis. But maybe you should look up those monstrosities starting from their #humanfriendly equivalents which are much more descriptive.

2. Fine, you wrote some #shellscript with #LLM. It's not very #DRY and it interfaces poorly with the #pipeline syntax. This will require #commits to a branch, not just a #review.

Credit card companies in Canada (and elsewhere) have been imposing draconian restrictions on the use of their payment networks for anything even slightly racy -- digital Puritanism, enforced by a handful of companies that have a combined monopoly stranglehold on payment systems.

Risque video content? Racy text? Erotic drawings? All forbidden to one degree or another, by un-elected moral crusaders that you simply can't choose to not use. If you're a content creator depending on payments / subscriptions, you can be demonitized instantly, with no explanation and no recourse, at any moment. Goodbye, income!

This petition isn't perfect - it's written solely from the point of view of someone concerned with the effects on the videogame market, not any other type of content creator - but it's a start. If you're in Canada and want payment processors to not engage in such discriminatory practices, take a look at this (brief) petition and consider signing it.

#crypto congrats to the authors, it was a long process

OpenBSD has decided to give #FILE a #makeover by making it #opaque because, you know, #transparency is so last season. 🎩✨ Meanwhile, developers everywhere are left to wonder if their #debugging #skills are good enough to see through this fashionable #change. 🤔🔍

Even if the fact pattern implied by this meme were literal truth, it would not LITERALLY be a reification of Cory Doctorow's (@pluralistic) enshittification concept; but it comes rather closer than any of us would want!

implementing a #threshold #OPAQUE using 3hashTDH as the t-OPRF, trying to stay compatible with the IRTF/CFRG spec. But the OPRF evaluated element, which is part of the transcript of the client and server in the non-threshold version, cannot be part of the transcript in the threshold version.

hah! a paper on #threshold #oprf and threshold #opaque by jarecki et al, although krawczyk is missing from the team, it still will be interesting to see how far their paper is from my toprf and topaque implementations. https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/1455

You may have heard people #complain about #Etsy, and how their #fees are stupidly high, but that they also deliberately make them as #opaque as possible, to try to #hide that fact.

Here's an example from my own case. This is a sale of a single item from my store (https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/RetroFutureTech) last week. It ends in *13* line items in my "accounting" reports:

-12.17
-0.14
-0.03
-0.04
-0.13
-0.60
-0.79
-2.60
-10.43
-2.75
+62.60
-0.01
-0.27

Wow, $62.60 total sale! Giving a net of ... $32.64. #BS
