Modern naval mines are torpedoes waiting on the sea floor for a carrier swimming by. Place a few where you know the carrier will drive over by sub, carrier sunk. Or just use the sub directly, modern small electric subs are undetectable in e

Yes! But the refresher for lawmakers should be much longer, and e.g. include the typical error rates and what they mean.

Batteries maybe. Allowing "dirtier" non-50Hz power would make things worse, power plant turbines are optimized for 50Hz, different frequencies get inefficient quite fast. So your generation will shrink the lower you go. At the sam

DNS is never consistent, that is an explicit non-goal. You can also get a CNAME from last week pointing to a CNAME from 5 minutes ago pointing to a nonexistent hostname in a nonexistent zone. This feels very much like hammering on DNS to ma

Either for its IP or for the hostname that results from the reverse-lookup of the IP. The latter is easier to obtain (proof of ownership for IPs is cumbersome) and is often present anyways. It would need an additional DNS lookup, but the pr

For the most part they can do that anyways, ESNI or ECH are only relevant for big hosters or proxy services.

I guess they are just slower or more incompetent. The German federal government is still counting the number of Solarwinds installations, not all ministries have answered their questions yet...

no, the per-ip key is just the one you would use for ECH, in the encrypted part you can use separate per-vhost certificates as usual

You wouldn't even need a cert for an IP address (which is hard to get). You could just resolve the CNAME and A records until you arrive at an address, do a reverse lookup on that address. Then use the resulting "primary" PTR

SRV records would already support that is browsers would look them up. But unfortunately they don't.

The client initiates the connection and must know a key to encrypt the client hello with before the first packet. Unsigned DH is out because that would allow MitM and involve another roundtrip, cached certificate is only known on the second

This is extremely ugly. They got rid of ESNI because it was an incomplete solution possibly exposing the connection target anyways. So they decided to encrypt the whole client hello message, calling it ECH (encrypted client hello). However,

Yes, but both are examples of the EU not actually wanting to do the right thing, even if the courts say so. Privacy shield was shot down by Schrems in court, only to be replaced by the EU mumbling about "standard contract clauses, just

Reproducibility down to CPU bit differences is a sign that you did something wrong. Usually calculation with insufficient precision and no thought given to the range of simulation error. Simulation must be treated like a measurement, there

"morally incompetent" yes, but morals are not the primary motivator in that situation, only a secondary factor. People want to feel good about themselves, moral behaviour leads to feeling good. But physical work, pride in your wor

That would be a no-go in most of Europe. Cities are too dense, so there is just no land available for that. And even if it were, land prices are high enough that tunneling costs start to look cheap.

Busses are very slow compared to any subway. Even with dedicated lanes (which is costly and unpopular) they still need to go around obstacles like buildings, follow the roads, yield to pedestrians, pull into stops, etc. Speed limits need to

Thats coming from the opposite direction. Around here, heating is necessary to get up to 18°C. Aircon to get down from warm temperatures in summer is uncommon, usually it doesn't rise above 30°C outside.

I've seen this attitude quite often in juniors: The manager is always supposed to be available. Not immediately answering your email so you need to follow up with a phone call? Thanks, you just interrupted my talk with my boss and his

With a bit of fantasy, one could infer narcissism or cocaine abuse from some parts of the story: the childish ever-moving meeting with subsequent blaming of the victim, all the while ignoring that there were other managers (i.e. non-victims
