What do you get out of these childish straw man arguments? I made it perfectly clear which group I was talking about and you're asking me to defend an argument I didn't make.

That's a hopeless generalization. People have many different problems and there are many different modalities of psychotherapy that try to address them. Treating less severe forms of anxiety with CBT is going to be a lot more successfu

Net neutrality has nothing to do with how content publishers treat visitors, it's about ISPs who try to interfere based on the content of the traffic instead of just providing "dumb pipes" (infrastructure) like they're s

The first quote was about them having nearly unlimited power for targeted surveillance and the second was about not having such power for mass surveillance. You keep confusing them. Just stick to your original claim that I responded to -

Let them. Individuals can move but they can't take their properties or companies with them (in any real sense, they can take a piece of paper with their name on it).

That's the most naive take I've read online this year. So your stance is that spy agencies aren't spying on us because if they were, we'd know about it?

Where are you finding that name constraints aren't supported? I've only come across that on embedded/IoT devices. They work fine for me across Firefox and Chrome on Linux, on Android, and they are supposed to work fine on A

You can absolutely do that with name constraints extension set on the root CA certificate. You should verify compatibility but it's pretty universally supported on modern browsers and consumer devices last I checked. nameConstrai

Why is that problematic? They don't have your private keys and their "level of access" is equivalent to any other certificate authority that your browser trusts.
