Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

A perfect complement to chrome.security !

It's been a while since I listened to it so I can't recall I'd they cover usage, but this podcast covers their form: 99percentinvisible.org/episode/futu...

A proposal to have CAs run transparency logs and make X.509 certificates out of Merkle Tree inclusion proofs.
