Why late surges in election results fuel fraud suspicions among voters
Once an electoral candidate is in the lead, the public views them as the winner. If the candidate then loses, fraud seems a likely explanation, and even the winner's supporters might be inclined to be suspicious about the final result. This is because of the cumulative redundancy bias (CRB).

jon zellwegerTime for a bit of ‘professional development’ reading. When did the tide (start to) turn from progressive, future-thinking agendas in American culture —specifically as reflected in architectural projects— to what in 2025 can only be described as a society gripped by nostalgia and almost completely absent of innovative, creative endeavors? Well, this book by Douglas Murphy starts to make a good argument for the 1960s and 70s. Murphy’s book takes us through the realm of World’s Fairs, Buckminster Fuller and Brutalist estate projects to shed light on a period of architectural history where Post-Modernism captured more attention in the books than these last grand projects of Modernism. Murphy does a really good job of not being exhaustive but, rather, focused on a selection of strong cases that illustrate the point: that these top-down projects were not resonating with a society where current events were undermining any confidence in the experts. The civil unrest of the late 60s knocked a few things loose, and the economics of the 70s continued to foster dissatisfaction in the citizenry. But the following couple of decades managed to be, arguably, a distraction from the continued erosion of confidence in the experts. And here we are today, where teachers, scientists, politicians have joined the architects as untrustworthy. These things really do take time to manifest profoundly in the everyday.

How to distrust a CA without any certificate errors
A “distrust” is when a certification authority (CA) that issues HTTPS certificates to websites is removed from a root store because it is no longer trusted to issue certificates. This means certificates issued by that CA will be treated as invalid, likely causing certificate error interstitials in any browser that distrusted the CA. Distrusts can happen for security reasons, compliance reasons, or simply due to a lack of trust in the operators. In the past, the complexity and user impact of distrust events have largely been dependent on the size and usage of a CA—the larger the CA, the longer and more complex the timeline was to distrust it if it misbehaved, and the more likely users were to encounter certificate errors. Nowadays, the situation is different.
