It really does. The "safety problems" are trivial compared to the "safety problems" with conventional vehicles, but since we're used to 50,000 people dying each year, we're much more concerned about the possibi

"Despite recurring safety problems, these companies had no problems receiving these permits, which critics have condemned." So the expectation is that there be no safety problems, because taxis never have safety problems?

So after 30 days, you've spent more money than someone with a lower cost dishwasher, and as the article mentions, your dishes haven't been sanitized and had allergens removed. You've also used a lot more water. Yes, you have

"Hypothetical" joins a list of a lot of other words like "infeasible", "random", "real", etc. where we apparently have entirely different semantic interpretations. > An AES library that might not e

The CPU on the Pi 4 isn't that weak. Consider that on processors from well over a decade ago, protobufs were being parsed & encoded at data rates that were easily an order of magnitude more than what gigabit ethernet can support. I

> An AES implementation that no one uses is not a very compelling argument, except as a hypothetical. The entire whole scenario is hypothetical!!! Yes, there aren't a lot of AES implementations that use CPU & GPU for decryption,

A few points... If you've got a Raspberry Pi 4 as your proxy, aren't you already struggling to pump more than 600Mbps over your network? Even if so, are you really pulling down more than 300Mb/s over a single TLS connection?

The author also seemed to think parsing a <2MB protobuf was CPU intensive. Even for a cheap embedded network device, you'll never convince me that is true.

by cbsmith 3y ago
Presumably so. You'd just need to compile the curl-impersonate for the appropriate browser you want to impersonate, and then link it in to a proxy that used libcurl for its https traffic.

Corporate TLS mitm is so often misunderstood. There are, unfortunately, a lot of legit reasons to do so.

Inline adverts can be blocked, as long as you're decoding layer-7 (which is effectively what this ad is doing).

It may be a big download depending on your bandwidth (which you're already doing if you are streaming the video), but it's not big in terms of a CPU trying to parse a protobuf. If you are decoding streaming video from YouTube, the

I had much the same points of confusion when reading this. It's not like the design principles behind Protubuf are a secret. This is all documented plainly.

I suspect class culture has something to do with it as well. I can think of iconic examples of both behaviours in north & south.

This seems... a highly problematic line of reasoning.

Is it inconceivable that despite the government providing protection from enemies, foreign and domestic, that we still don't live in a risk free society?

The article, as usual, is terrible. I think this paper is more about figuring out the optimal step sizes.

I could definitely come up with a 6th example. That doesn't exactly make a bad argument a good one.
