I think the problem is that HTTPS carries the connotation of security, renaming this proposal would make it obvious to users what the expectations are. Lets change the name of it to something like httpe e for encrypted, s for secure. Let&#x

Yup, let's not let perfect become the enemy of good. SSH works basically this way, certs are autogenerated, the client records the key, and lets you know if it changes. And doesn't everyone recommend SSH over Telnet, despite certs

The SCOTUS specifically addresses 'military' weapons in Heller. This is going down in flames.

The court that made this ruling would also ban most guns as well. It will likely be overturned on appeal, as they might have well interpreted arms as the things attached to your shoulders.

The problem with allowing special arrangements is that politicians can--and do--use regulations in anticompetitive and manipulative ways.

That's actually just your definition of a level playing field, there is no 'true' level playing field. (Well, other than literal playing fields that are level)

In any random set of data there will be 'clusters'. There's actually a pretty good chance a cluster will appear. It's like a lottery, it's very likely someone will win it each week. Humans have an incredibly poor in

Why are press releases on hacker news? The 'article' is practically devoid of content.

It's risk vs. reward, to many people the increased cost of a brand new car is worth more than the risk of buying used. Also, if you buy a car thats 2 or 3 years old you can actually figure out what is likely to go wrong with it, someth

It depends on the specific acts he's being charged with, if he can create reasonable doubts to that then he's not guilty. 'Operating SilkRoad' isn't a crime, trafficking drugs is.

Umm... If the keyboard doesn't fit, you must acquit? If that doesn't work how about retaining Kim Kardasian as part of a legal dreamteam?

I've never understood the whole thing about CS foundations... For the most part you're never discovering new datastructures, the rest of it is just knowing which data structure to pick, 50/50 dictionary/arrays, once in a

Sounds like a solution rather than a problem. What is the problem with people buying things they want? Also, when did Instagram become charged with enforcing the law? It's the responsibility of police and the government to enforce the

Umm... North Korea tries to avoid media attention all the time, phone up the consulate and ask for a VISA to roam around the country taking pictures, this is why they call it the hermit kingdom. What NK tries to do is control the media. Als

Yes, generally people want OSs to do more, not operate faster. Therefore most of the time the performance benefits are eaten by additional software. It's most apparent on older hardware that was already running close to max capacity.

Restrained? They invaded the country, and got their asses handed to them by the Chinese. The geopolitical situation is, invade NK, fight the red army.

NK is not going to launch a nuclear attack on the US. The point of NKs weapons is a barrier to entry to invasion. eg. If you attack us Seoul gets nuked. Once they've launched nuclear weapons there is no point in not invading them. If N

The government also spent $2 trillion in QE so if that money wasn't in the market...

It doesn't. They invested $426 billion 2008 dollars and got back $438 billion 2014 dollars. Officially inflation was 9.7% so they lost about $20 billion.

What they fail to note is all the good that could have come from not doing TARP, what innovative services might have sprung up instead? Sure, Detroit might be dead (isn't it already?) but there would also be a huge infrastructure for T
