Putting on my tinfoil hat here. One of the reasons Russia and China cooperate is because they also implicitly are supporting each others expansionist (reclaimationist? depending on point of view perhaps) stances, at least those not along sh

This highlights just how useless and unusable existing scroll bars are. The ability to easily see where you were on the page was great. And it's got some humour. I love it.

Agreed on both counts (I made the same points in other comments :))

Ah yes, I missed that note, thanks. I'll point out notice of appearance doesn't mean they COULD have done anything. The TRO was granted for 7 days already. From a strategic position, they probably saw they could work with the clie

Uber specifically needs to be removed from that list. The business model is 'drain investor money to undercut existing business and then abuse contractors and employment laws to attempt to make a profit after'. There isn't mu

This is a list of general technology. Musk, Zuck and Trump specifically (the post I was replying to) have had little impact on much of this list. 3d printing, iphone, google, crispr, netflix have little to nothing to do with them. Honestly

This is exactly my issue with "sprints" and "Agile". As a business, even as a "project" the needs change between the start and the end of a project. Periods of low and high activity coincide with the various ph

Possibly, I'm not sure if there is precedent for charging a company for taking valid legal actions, only vexatious in contract law. Probably depends on the legal jurisdiction and courts.

But there is here, so its a flawed analogy.

The TRO was filed for and granted without DigiCerts input. By the time they responded, both parties filed to vacate the TRO (3 days later). Judges I expect weigh, to the best of their abilities, the perceived harm in granting/not grant

That's a great list of examples that fall well under "Usually it's just illegal cabs or e-waste littering as a service." Is there examples of the alternative?

I think a baseline for both disrupt and reform is an understanding of the problem space and existing solutions first, maybe more-so for successful disruption.

To add to this, 3 days after the TRO was filed both parties moved to vacate the TRO. DOCKET TEXT ORDER. 9 Joint Motion to Vacate 3 Order Granting Ex Parte Motion for TRO is GRANTED I'm not sure DigiCert could have done anything about t

The TRO actually means you aren't allowed, that's the point. It's an ordered injunction that legally obliges you from not acting until the courts can review the facts. The court IS deciding, temporarily.

DigiCert and other CA's need to write in their terms that failure to follow the policies and revocation timelines can/will result in termination of the contract. Alegeus should have been dropped as a customer as soon as the incide

by hmmm-i-wonder 2y ago
The middle ground here is DigiCert should have been able and continued with the revocation of all the other certificates not impacted by the TRO within the policies and contractual agreements it has. The policy and its designers aren't

by hmmm-i-wonder 2y ago
This seems like a misunderstanding of the TRO. Alegeus, a client of DigiCert, filed a court motion to stop DigiCert from revoking their certificate. The courts granted the temporary restraining order. There is no "update their legal wo

Govt spending as a share of GDP is probably a good measure of how involved the government is in the economy. There are arguments that too much government involvement leads to stagnation, which considering many of the economies the US regula

Its similar to roads in a lot of ways, one of the important ones is that there is a civil/social utility in ensuring even remote people are "connected" by road or internet to the rest of the country/world, often at a cos

It would be a cost to those companies to lease the lines. Whether those companies are profitable or not is up to their business models. Those companies didn't/wont invest in the infrastructure to start with, which is why this init

You don't have to. Reproducible builds, audited E2E and the other technical details combine to remove the need to trust the server for anything other than availability. Anything else is uninformed navel-gazing about the risk without un
