HTTPS does not provide authentication sufficiently well to put every egg in its basket. As for "better understood," the authors of this standard work for Google, Verizon, Microsoft, and Comcast. Combined they probably serve most

MTA-STS is pretty ill-conceived. In essence it mandates that compliant MTAs also run a concurrent web service. The authors do not explain why this is useful instead of the simpler approach -- enhance SMTP to reject mail on port 25 with

You're missing the point. Supercomputer networks tend to be things like infiniband, where you're (usually) not using TCP and the whole point is to enable things like RDMA (yes, that stands for remote direct memory access). IPoIB

I've worked for the DoD on tons of stuff, from operating and maintaining research supercomputers to operating and maintaining M2A2 Bradley fighting vehicles. The DoD is the single largest employer in the world. This sophomoric implica

Because the OS you care about on your smartphone isn't linux or ios, it's webkit/blink, and nobody on earth has the capital and the business case for porting a modern web stack to anything at all different. The BSDs are allo

You'll find instead that it will turn any community into an echo chamber. This sort of tone policing accomplishes nothing but belittling differing viewpoints and alienating users who may (publically or privately) disagree with charita

In my experience, things that leave pelican cases in smoking ruins were unable to destroy zero halliburton products. I was sufficiently impressed that I switched luggage brands.
