> As to why the UK government doesn't pass a regulation that airport security is also responsible for detecting large amounts of cash, I have no idea.

Shouldn't law abiding citizens have the right to possess and carry cash?

You sound like the kind of person I'd actually want to start a business with. Maybe cofounder matching should be a HN feature instead of a tinder clone.

> A tree with multiple inheritance (sometimes called tangled tree)

By the author's definition, multiple inheritance prohibits cycles. DAGs can be modeled as tree with back edges to non-ancestors. So I'm pretty sure tangled tree = DAG.

Good point, maybe "tangled tree with back edges to ancestors" is the really correct model for what the author wants. The key point of the visualization is to highlight the deviation from a standard DAG or tree.

Any on cryptographic elections. Maybe this one - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/receipt...

Not a cryptographer. The extent of my expertise is that when I was in college I did a survey of ~15 papers on cryptographic elections. Take my suggestion with a grain of salt.

Very cool! One small point of pedantry:

> A tree with multiple inheritance (sometimes called tangled tree) cannot be represented by using a classic tree visualization. It is technically a directed acyclic graph (DAG) with one (or more) nodes identified as root.

What is the difference between a DAG and a tangled tree? Isn't any DAG a tangled tree? I don't see immediately why a new definition is required.
