What % of taxi fares are made by terrorists? What % of Tor traffic is for illegal/immoral/subversive activities?

Of course there are lots of what-ifs, but how do you tamper with HTTPS traffic if you don't MITM?

by akjainaj 10y ago
It can simply stop the connection and show the user, under the normal certificate, a message telling him there's a problem with the cert.

> In the name of "security", this undermines the very purpose of what HTTPS is about, knowingly endangering their users. It doesn't have to be insecure. If the software that does the MITM checks the certificates correctly,

But it is not manual curation, at least not officially. That's why the algorithm is so (in)famous, because it's an algorithm.

I'm not sure I want Google to tell me what's fake and what's not fake. This also means they're transitioning from being a neutral part to being curators.

The day I see Firefox shipping Servo I'll believe it. Knowing Mozilla, the project could be dropped at any time.

>Why ? Firefox still feels slower in loading and showing web pages. It seems to freeze up occasionally. The new tab opening and scrolls have occasional jitters, sometimes sufficient to bring me out of my "flow". And what's

And what's even worse, so many drivers have issues when compiling shaders that were writen maliciously (or even regular ones), that I'd say we'll see security problems with this really soon, the same we saw them when web font

I am glad to hear that. On the other hand, I have had disastrous experiences running games with Wine.

Generally you should consider yourself lucky if you can run any old game. Even games that sold dozens of millions of copies and were released ten years ago are full of glitches, such as the early GTA series.

Oh god, please change the title. It's about timers, not bandwidth. I was already imagining streaming music from Spotify and having hiccups all day.

Size of Qt has stopped me from ever thinking of making a small application that uses Qt. It bumps the size by... 20MB at least. I'd love to try Lite sometime.

I am talking about the list of promises. I am not judging Trump himself, and I actually don't like him. But I like what he's promised and I think it could work.

This is very cool. I am not American but I hope Mr. Trump delivers on these. It'll show the rest of countries another world is possible.
