Something is missing here: HTTPS links and SSL. Either website.com hands over its certificate to dnsdelegation.io (which is unlikely and definitely not a 2 min trust-less process) or dnsdelegation.io has the ability to generate any certific

How does this work with SSL certification? The 3rd party server needs to be in possession of a certificate for eir63gd.mywebsite.com

This talk touches the very fundamental question of attribution of blame. Say I read an anti-Semitic leaflet and then perform a hate crime. How much of the responsibility do I bare and how much does the writer of the leaflet? And how much do

How do the criminals handle the banking aspect? It's one thing to sit somewhere and cyber-phish/attack someone through email. But they need a bank account. In Canada. They then need to move 800k out quickly to another account some

That's really interesting. Basically the audiobook is more of an interpretation of the text. It's perhaps closer to a movie adaptation. Once you lose the exception for the TTS to "tell you a story" but rather to "te

Nobody made anything really . Everything you "own" was made by someone else or at least the raw materials were not created by you. What's the justification for any kind of ownership?

An interesting similarity can be drawn to today's digital social network. The main idea of the article is that coffee created cafe culture which in turn created a shift in the way people interacted and eased the exchange of ideas that

Or try being in an elaborate sitting or laying position (like fetal pose) and without moving a muscle, ask your cognitive brain "what muscle will I move now in order to Stand Up". Then just tell your motor brain to Stand Up. You&#

This reminds me of a interesting armchair moral dilemma: Assume we have the tech to replicate/simulate a biological brain. Now say we want to study the effects of extreme pain/torture etc on the brain. Instead of studying living a

While you are not wrong, there is a big difference between choosing not to use something, vs not having the option to. You can get much more peace of mind in the latter, even thought the situation is the same.

There is no moral inconsistency here. Your (vegan) moral beliefs have different axioms than (dare I say) real "gut" human morals. Put simply the vegan axiom is "A life is a life." vs the gut axiom which is "A closer

This topic is something I think about a lot. While I am generally for kindness and empathy, there is something dangerously patronizing about this point of view. Quote: > If you can’t be kind, if you won’t empathize, then you’re not on t

I don't understand the hype around wind and solar. Or rather I don't see how these technologies can ever be anything more than a minor player in the energy market: These technologies are extremely sensitive to weather conditions w

I'm surprised by the many positive/understanding comments on this thread. Personally I find this kind of behavior despicable. Giving people what they ask for doesn't make it morally justifiable. Even if helps then in the shor

True, but there's still a difference between abuse via a buffer overflow "mistake" and say the overly verbose Battery Status API.

I can't provide stats on your questions, but as per your example, your ISP can only add headers to non SSL traffic. Any website you access with HTTPS is safe from this type of privacy violation. So as "Encrypted web traffic now ex

Imo, the fact that the world didn't put a huge dent in global warming by building lots of nuclear plants is one of the saddest "misses" of our recent history. This I feel is due to irrational, emotional public opinion. Nuclea

That's a misleading statistic. The death rate is around 1 per a billion kms driven. One might argue that humans are actually very good at driving.

This has never crossed my mind as a possibility. It's ingenious. I wonder if/when this has ever been done before. On second thought in a broader way this idea, of masking truth by hiding it behind something similar, is quite old.

Has anyone ever played Robot Odyssey? It was one of most beloved games as a child. It's somewhat of a precursor to this project.
