There's a lot of lament that this bypasses the operating system level config, but I feel like we wouldn't be here if the operating system had stepped up their DNS any time in the last several years. This is a workaround for the fa

> They force TLS in the name of freedom. Who will be the certificate provider? VeriSign? Comodo? One must use certificate manager or their own certificate server on linux. Everyday the reasons to keep firefox are converging to 0.

When I was in high school we wrote our own code. So I guess we can stop doing open source as well right?

Oh come now, you can't just "learn by doing" when it comes to circuit layout, when you have no idea what will and won't work. Especially with modern high frequency circuits that have a lot more challenges due to cross s

Using users to sandbox processes is a hack that has never worked well and is only successful when combined with lots of other sandbox technologies such as jails, SELinix or AppArmor.

> building clones is still possible for users but less convenient for companies. That's a pretty charitable way to phrase it. I would think companies looking to make clones have the expertise and can afford to take the effort to re

Are you sure it's different? Or do we just have a much lower tolerance for spreading disease than most animals.

Does multi user posix really get much use still? And should it? The model is how old now and we're still finding vulnerabilities more or less by design. Computers are so cheap that almost everyone has one in their pocket, and most in

Would have been a better design to encrypt the storage on the device and just wipe the key on factory reset.

Conceivably you could also fix this by having all verifiets special case this one certificate in their verification software to substitute the correct hash? Obviously that's a huge pain but in theory it would work?

Imagine how partisan it would look the other way if they waited until _after_ the election. Just imagine that Clinton won in a landslide and then right afterwards WikiLeaks comes out with the podesta emails saying they waited until after th

I would be very surprised if there way a law requiring search history to be recorded. Just because some data can be supoenaed doesnt mean you are required to store/create the data in the first place.

Surely you see the difference between managing money on the open internet and closed systems such as planes and spaceshipts. The incentives to break those other pieces of software are different. Very few people are incentivized to hack plan

They did _almost_ everything in their power. They did not however, prevent you from downloading and installing netscape like Apple is currently doing with iOS. I believe that was Nadella's main point, which I don't disagree with.

Browsing doesn't scale to the amount of content now available. The selection at your local bookstore and blockbuster was also the result of a less sophisticated recommendation algorithm.

Deflation is good for people who have money and nobody else. It's horrendous for people who are trying to make money. Deflation destroys economies.

The US dollar loses value over time on purpose. Doge is being pumped via hype so that the early adopters can cash out.

Because if it is profotable whilst being free then its a much easier sell. No need to get all righteous, I'm not saying all public services need to be profitable, I'm saying we need to stop evaluating public services on strictly o

Slight tangent but I've always wondered what the economic impact would be if public transit were just free. If there was no monetary nor mental overhead to getting around the city could that boost commerce enough to pay for it?
