Sure it is, you just have to consider the threat model. Working out what website I'm browsing by doing packet analysis between my client and an IP address is vastly more difficult than just reading "www.pornhub.com" out of

I am also not in the US. However, everywhere I look I see large ISPs with questionable ethics who are centralized providers of DNS. I'm struggling to see why DoH means "is even more of your private data to a centralized provider w

Given that it's an open standard that anyone can implement, I'm not seeing why DoH == "Centralization and snooping"?

I don't disagree that a train that can tolerate a wider range is desirable, but lots of things are desirable. It's also desirable to give everyone their own carriage, or have a free bar on every train. But at what cost? * Wider to

Which specification though? At the time they were being designed and procured, I think the specified tolerance for frequency change rate on the grid was 0.125Hz/s, but this was relaxed in 2014 to 1Hz/s (see https://www.

Do you mean that they don't meet the requirements of the tender spec ("not fit for purpose") or that the spec in the tender process was deficient ("shockingly poor procurement")?

It's enormously cheaper to do business on markets nowadays. Back in the old days, spreads were sometimes multiple dollars on human-made markets with a lot of inventory. With HFT, people compete to offer the best market, and spreads a

The "F" in in "HFT" stands for "Frequency". This is a separate concept from latency. GS are spending money so they can execute their clients' orders on the market faster, to reduce the risk of the price sh

All that'd happen if you did that would be to increase the risk of any market maker having the wrong price at execution time (they have less data to make an informed price discovery), so you'd get wider spreads to compensate. Wide
