That’s not what MITM means, and also misunderstands how CAs work. Cloudflare is a concern for how many people would be affected if there was another Cloudbleed but misstating their relationship with their customers isn’t going to accomplish

I really wish more places would enable explicit proxies: if you have a mandate to inspect all traffic, block 443 except to proxy.megacorp.com and configure clients to use it. You lose all of the bugs and security issues caused by the securi

The study found the opposite: people are picking healthier choices throughout the region. This makes sense: if you switch to taking the train, in addition to not driving in the congestion zone you also aren’t driving the distance between th

Because that’s not true. Cars are expensive compared to transit everywhere, but especially so in NYC. This was studied a lot before congestion pricing was implemented and only something like 2% of poor people were going to pay congestion ch

I remember that time being before 64-bit became a requirement for most people (I worked with some computational scientists who did buy Alphas for that reason since they needed the flat memory space without remapping hacks). The Alpha was in

What percentage of the road traffic do you think they constitute? How much of the value of the truck full of expensive seafood do you think the congestion charge represents? How many extra deliveries can a single driver make when they spend

The study isn’t sloppy, and I would highly suggest reading it before casting aspersions at the authors: https://www.nature.com/articles/s44407-025-00037-2

EVs are heavier than equivalent-sized ICE vehicles, but they do enjoy regenerative braking. The answer is to make smaller-sized cars but the auto industry has been pushing the farmer cosplay for decades because the profit margins are a lot

It’s an interesting list from the perspective of what kind of project Linux is. Things like PA-RISC and Alpha were dead even in the 90s (thanks to the successful Itanium marketing push convincing executives not to invest in their own archit

This sounds like you need to do some homework before derailing the thread. You’re very confidently saying there’s no use for things which millions of people keep buying, so consider the possibility that you might have missed something.

No, it hasn’t. The CIA didn’t do this under Clinton because it’s a war crime, and Cold War Republicans prided themselves on saying we were better than e.g. the Viet Cong. The Bush cadre broke the U.S. law written just a few years before by

Really? So like IBM getting big and then fading to Microsoft and then Apple and Google was a government plan? The government decided that American car manufacturers should lose to Japan but then pivoted back for … reasons? This is not like

The part which is relevant is that he’s willing to break the law in unprecedented ways and has the full support of the Republican Party in doing so. Americans used to pride ourselves on the government not controlling businesses.

Agreed. It suggests they were swayed by demos more than using their own products, which is scary. Using iOS 26 makes me wonder if Cook even uses an iPhone or has an assistant do everything - it’s not unusable but there are so many little gl

LLMs are suitable for tasks where it’s cheap to validate the result or the cost of being wrong is low. This is basically the opposite of that: if you fail to redact things, the costs can be high and since these are documents written by huma

Whose chatbots are actually better, though? I have yet to hear from an Android, Alexa, or Windows user who uses the voice controls for more than what Siri does. The people raving about LLMs are using things like ChatGPT which work just fine

It’s far more extreme: old servers are still okay on I/O, and memory latency, etc. won’t change that dramatically so you can still find productive uses for them. AI workloads are hyper-focused on a single type of work and, unlike most

Yes, real artists need time, supplies, space to work, etc. If you don’t pay them, they’ll have less of everything they need to make the art you like.
