Obviously there will be some kind of filter and spammers will adjust their techniques to slip through the filter since you've now given them incentive to do so. This is hardly a new phenomenon.

They already have the ability. Since that can't be revoked, might as well make it transparent and grant them the authority to match it. It's certainly better than the current CA system.

Then you would be flooded with a deluge of low quality proposals. This kind of thing only works with people because it's not trivial to instantly create a large number of new ones simply to game the system.

That's the trust that government always requires. Being on the internet doesn't change the fact that the point of government is a monopoly on authorized use of force. They can always just send men with guns to your office, DNSSEC

That's what it means to have a domain in Libya - you're subject to the jurisdiction of the officially recognized Libyan government. If you don't want to have to deal with the whims of a crazy dictator, don't register you

I'm pretty sure I know more than you do here, but I'll humor you. What facts do you think I'm missing?

Holy assumptions, batman. Nobody needs it. Some want it, but I don't. You asked how it would help and I answered.

Regardless of what Snowden thinks, evidence submitted doesn't have to be made public. Due to his contractor status, it's unclear which whistleblower protections would cover him, but that's something that can be established du

That interpretation still presumes that it is wrong for a culture of racism to exist at Yale. To the contrary, I would say that Yale's affirmative action policies make it inevitable.

Witch hunts are bad because 1. The hunt is for something that doesn't really exist 2. Because the accusations have no base in reality, those targeted have no way to defend themselves 3. Those targeted are executed I don't see how

Nobody's surprised here. I know why he did what he did. I just disagree.

You may have missed some sarcasm. It's clearly not an attack on free speech. The real criticism is that it's prioritizing free expression aka speech over other rights.

Come on now. There will be at least a school that stands up to it. There are still universities that ban premarital sex, for crying out loud.

Virtually all of these students are happy to not be treated like babies themselves. What they are complaining about is that their classmates who disagree with them may be trusted to do the right thing. And how can they do the right thing if

As long as the change is a good one, it's for the best that it be done quickly. Look at how quickly public opinion shifted on gay marriage and marijuana legalization relative to similar issues in the pre-internet age. I expect that mos

I'm not saying that you have to agree with it yourself, but if you are willing to accept that other people believe there is something wrong with it in the first place, that question seems obvious enough to not even merit asking. We are

As descriptive rather than prescriptive. And certainly not naturalist.

I didn't say capital punishment was or wasn't on the table. I said it wasn't a military trial. Those are two completely orthogonal issues. If Snowden can't present a single piece of evidence in his defense that isn'

Information about foreign surveillance programs and details of NSA methods. I never made such an argument. In fact, I have repeatedly stated what I think he should have done - reveal information about some obviously unconstitutional domesti

I think you're confusing Snowden with Manning. Snowden is not in the military and is not subject to UCMJ. Perhaps what you meant is that some evidence, being classified, would not be released to the public? That does go against what Sn

Again, no I'm not. And I find your implication that I believe or care about such a thing as a "natural order" abhorrent. You're not very good at this reading thing, are you?

In fact, nobody is punishing him. He chose to flee the country to escape consequences for his actions.

You can make anything sound nice if you couch it in vague enough terms. Spying on other countries is in fact, the entire point of the NSA. Domestic surveillance is not, and it was right to expose that. However, that does not excuse the thin

No, I'm not. No clue how you got there. If you have an unpopular view, speak out. Be oppressed. Fight back against the oppression if you can, and roll over and die if you cannot. If you win, your side is and always was right. If you lo

I already have - that's called sending email. I am of course a hypocrite, as are we all, I'm sure. But I don't see how that's relevant here.

Indeed. An unfortunate dilemma of espionage.

The same reason he was retarded enough to give up his career and home to leak classified information to the press.

by caskance 11y ago
From the press to the public, yes, but insufficiently. From him to the press, which is where the barrier of classifiedity was actually breached, there was no discretion at all.
