I also believe that trading real networks for supposed security would be a very bad move. Network node security should not be delegated to the network. Not only would this necessitate forgoing very useful features that networks enable, you

Unless your usage includes redistribution, GPL/BSD licensing differences have little effect on end-users. Also, the definition of one license is "more free" than the other is completely subjective and is wholly dependent on t

If they have physical access, it's over regardless of what authentication mechanisms are employed. I'd argue that not being able to modify software subjects you to a higher risk because you wont be able to fix security vulnerabili

Yup. It's a good thing that we live in a universe where companies and all their employees are completely trust-worthy, and will flat-out refuse to do something illegal if asked (or incentivised) by others. It's a good thing that a

Having a domain that can serve https is good and all, but it's no use if the client doesn't actually bother checking whether the cert is valid or not. The phenomenon is so prevalent that google needed to add a warning to developer

Odds are that I'm not from your community, but I follow a personal policy of not visiting plain http websites. I have strict HTTPS enabled at all times, and for the few sites that I visit that exclusively serve insecure content, I visi

I hope this is indicative of plans to revive the rust gcc frontend. The existence of that frontend was a major plus for the language as a stable standard.

Other places aren't much better either. In my country, you don't get to reach the courts. If some official doesn't like you, and you aren't a descendant of a well-known lineage and don't have connections, you will a

Why not leave it as an user configurable option. I personally think that the new box looks better.

They should partition the papers into fields and sub-fields so that each person could easily host and mirror their field of interest. This has the additional benefit of having the papers locally for easy indexing and searching.

They should categorize papers into specific fields (and sub-fields). Each party would torrent what interests them. Also, this might make a great use case for IPFS as apposed to torrents. Torrents are not designed to be mutable.

I strongly support Cloudflare's stance. If the act of providing hosting to a party is legal, then cloudflare should never intervene. If the act is illegal, then law enforcement and courts should do their job. I have much more confidenc

I still don't understand how opening up the codebase would prevent them from being successful. As the countless messaging apps out there demonstrate, the value of communication apps lies in the network they build. If they provide a dec

Come on, it would definitely still be possible with AGPL code. What brought people to whatsapp is its ubiquity and the fact that it just works, and what keeps them from going elsewhere is the inevitable network effect. Nothing in the AGPL p

The rust project also advocates this method of installing software on their download page. To their defense, however, they do offer gpg signatures for their tarballs, even if you need to dig around for a bit to find them. Also, anyone sugge

The same way you'd handle a trojan module in a statically-linked project; you remove the trojen and republish. It's a issue with linking rather than dependency satisfaction.

You're missing the forest for a single tree. The obligation to redistribute changes under the same license is not the only reason to use the GPL. The license's safeguarding of end-users' right to fix and modify GPLed software

I think mentioning these points upfront is a great way to give potential employees some idea about what kind of environment they should expect and whether they will be a good fit or not. To me, at least, having this kind of information woul
