I think this is a pretty good summary, but misses one key point: people don’t like wearing something that blocks their natural vision for very long. Some can’t even do it for a few minutes. It’s not like any other form of technology in that

If you’re interested in tides, I recommend Jonathan White’s book “Tides: The Science and Spirit of the Ocean”. It’s lower on science and higher on personal experience, but it all worked well for me. It was the first place I heard the term a

>Sure as hell though, if I move ssh off of port 22 then the number of folk trying to guess passwords drops to zero , instantly. But not for very long. But it doesn't matter, but for log annoyances.

I’d have to agree. Just bought a used 7th-gen iPad for that price difference.

Indeed, sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. Why doesn't the rest of the world (outside the US) have a 3rd middle brake light (CHMSL), as was mandated in the US in 1986? My guess is because, despite measurements of ~22% cra

Not too ironic I think, more common than not. I wish I had a box of nickels for every feature that cost $100k+ to implement that ended up being a dead end (i.e., sales benefit never materialized) or, even more commonly, the benefit material

Totally agree, although I do tend to accumulate and block ssh attempts just to lower the noise on systems (all key-only) that have a fair number of actual ssh users. I have never, ever received a return message from an abuse@ address, excep

How do they create things like ceramic turbo turbines and ceramic exhaust manifolds? Seems like the shrinkage problem would prevent these close tolerances.

I do this frequently when vacationing. A lot of thrift store CD stocks have been picked over in recent years, but with enough flipping I can frequently find something that maybe has a gold nugget on it. Then I rip it to my collection (curre

It's odd that this article came out only a few months after CL did a semi-significant change in the way they display listings -- the "gallery view" now lays out the screen differently, and it's fairly broken on mobile, p

Neither should it be controversial for Cloudflare to stop providing support for DDoS-for-hire sites, right?

Great, now will you take down the dozens of free-speech-suppressing DDoS-for-hire sites that use Cloudflare for protection? Or are these too far above Cloudflare’s moral standard?

It's also not tantamount to saying "relegating cyberattacks to the dustbin of history" either. Maps isn't a service used for suppressing free speech. It's the hypocrisy that is galling. If you stand up for free spe

> So, the claim is that Cloudflare is acting like the window glass shop that drums up business by running around smashing windows at night? That's quite the claim. That is not my claim; they don't operate any DDoS-for-hire site

I'm saying that, despite frequent reports of DDoS-for-hire sites using CF for protection, they do nothing. And they do nothing because they profit from their existence. Again, this isn't free speech -- it is the antithesis of fre

Well, maybe this site will help: ddosforhire.net They're a lovely recommendation/review site that lists a few dozen DDoS-for-hire sites. Take a random look at who hosts the individual sites' DNS. Their business is fundamenta

Like DDoS-for-hire sites? Plenty are non-ironically protected and anonymized by CF. Because hey, their business depends on DDoS attacks, right?

Hard to say that it’s coming back I think. My my.yahoo.com (yes, I know, Yahoo! Is hardly a worthwhile data point these days) was carefully constructed of a dozen or more RSS feeds, and 80-90% are now dead. I tried resurrecting a few on the

Thanks for that. By contrast, this is the email that a MAANG company received recently regarding a site being reported for phishing one of their login sites: https://ibb.co/kcsQN0w So I guess they are somewhat arbitrary in

I’d like verification of that behavior from CF. I have an email from them forwarded by a third party reporting phishing on a CF-DNS-hosted site where Cloudflare denied they had any responsibility whatsoever as “they host no content”. Of cou

Cute idea, but my guess is that 80% of the reply-to in spam emails are either forged or fake. They’re not typically trying to get you to reply - they’re trying to get you to click a link.

Not enough history about Micron, the company. The founder sold the exclusive potatoes for McDonald's French fries! He literally went from chips to chips.

Doesn't AWS IoT run only in us-east-1? And I think Alexa skills, if anybody cares about those.
