I think this is part of the problem. I see a lot of hate thrown at Windows 10 for the automatic shutdown to install updates - and some of that is due to bad design choices by MS - but many seem to hate the idea of updates being automaticall

Agreed 100% - but methinks NYT (and others) still look to them for technical guidance on some matters - however misguided that might be.

I would imagine that was because the comments are intended for discussion about that particular issue, not for random users to jump in with wild conjecture on its impacts. Honestly not that strange.

The website's CSS uses the following fonts for code blocks: > "Inconsolata", "Source Code Pro", "Consolas", "Monaco", "Courier", monospace So either it is using one of those fonts (C

On the font issue: you're effectively saying "I don't like the default monospace font my browser is configured to use, please change your website to fix this" (since Nimbus Mono isn't in their CSS font family list).

I can believe that is the case, but that just moves the attack vector to within Keybase's network, it doesn't mitigate it completely.

I'm entirely unconvinced by your argument regarding backing up a perfect forward secrecy chat. PFS is about preventing any listener of the messages in-transit from ever effectively decrypting those messages - it says nothing about secu

Nothing - under the current rules the Government writes off the debt after a number of years (either when you turn 65, after 25, 30 or 35 years, depending on when you got the loan and where in the UK you went to Uni). Also, having a student

Well, consider the recent attempted coup in Turkey. The Western media definitely has portrayed the military in a sympathetic light and the Government/Erdogan less so. Not saying that's right or wrong - but it implies to me that no

I agree that the current systems are very far from optimised. But what benefit does the blockchain per se give them, given they already trust all participants? It only seems to introduce unnecessary costs, such as mining, when compared to t

Or they designed it to show a variable number of security questions (so management could come along and say "we need 4 questions now" without causing havoc). Then they'd iterate through the responses, verifying them against t

I think you've misunderstood - Google, I am sure, is aware that it probably links to illegal content. But it has no way of knowing what is illegal or not - so it would not meet those conditions. It's a completely different situati

How do search engines meet requirement 2 (knowingly linking to illegal content)?

The problem is if you dull HPKP, you potentially weaken the benefit that the really high-profile targets gain and therefore make it less useful for them. Perhaps the answer is only a small number of websites actually need/want this fun

Does that balance the rights of the 5% who don't watch live TV but have license officers peering through their windows or (potentially) using detector vans to look through their walls to see what they're watching? I agree neither

On not needing a license if you have a TV but don't watch TV: that's exactly what I said. I disagree with your second point. I have not had a TV license for 4+ years now, even though I own several devices capable of receiving TV b

Taken from [1], under the heading "Will I need a TV Licence for all on demand programmes?". You won't need a licence to: (1) Download or watch S4C TV on demand on BBC iPlayer or listen to radio on BBC iPlayer. (2) Download or

You're wrong about when you have to pay the TV license. Currently the law states that you have to pay if you watch any streamed live TV (regardless of whether it is from the BBC, Sky or another TV provider). Having equipment capable of

No, I don't think that example does imply that. I interpret it as meaning that for the variants of the same "base word" (i.e. all characters are unaccented) the ordering is defined by the positions of the accents rather than

The SNP did vote against IPB, but they only have 54 MPs, compared to the ~550 combined MPs of Labour and the Conservatives. Anything those two parties widely support will get through the parliament.

Really? They were clearly the smaller of the two parties and I feel the fact they got anything changed is frankly impressive. Compared to what the current Conservative government is doing, I feel the Lib Dems did a pretty good job of temper

Is it a joke that Apple mark their computers as "obsolete" and stop providing support after they've been available for 5 years? This "joke" might have a chance at being funny if they didn't apply the punchline

Is there any harm in doing both? I agree that good changelogs are incredibly helpful - but I can also see how consistent version numbering can be useful too. If nothing else, it can allow easier automated dependency management vs. parsing t
