I'm pretty sure the fact that with root permissions you can leak data out of an SGX enclave is news to a few people, like the CCC and anyone who's staked their business to the security promises provided by TEEs. Voltage glitching in person is different from doing it in a repeatable way in software from halfway around the globe. When you've got a Metasploit module for overflowing buffers in trusted enclaves by executing code that drops processor voltage, that's an interesting timeline to live in.
miwa··on California Law Requiring Board Diversity Is Struck Down
Can't tell if you're making a serious argument but yes, even if it is only civil penalties and only boards of directors, your "good law" will destroy companies with all-female leadership teams and your "bad law" will not. Civil penalties can still force bankruptcy. This is a boolean logic problem, not a law class.

Are you sure those two laws accomplish the same thing? Under the "good law" you posted above, many organizations in California would become illegal overnight that are legal under your "bad law". The LA Times, most nursing associations, and many other all-female organizations would be criminalized. Even LA County itself would be illegal:

I believe the goal of the authors of the law is to allow for all-female leadership teams to exist while explicitly prohibiting all-male leadership teams.
