I agree that the post is not very well written, but if you are a bit generous you can read them saying "phishing sites are doing MITM attacks that we have a very hard time distinguishing from CEF logins, so we are axing CEF logins alto

For some people the main advantage of a laptop is the posssibility to move to spots where there's no or very bad connection. In those cases it becomes really useful to be able to run all your workloads on it, even if much slower.

That is a much harder problem. Your headphones can record and generate cancelling noise because they don't move relative to your ear (and are so close that they receive the same noise that has to be cancelled). Once you are moving ou

In case you enjoy the technical pedantry: UTF-8 is "just" an encoding scheme to represent the characters defined in the Unicode standard. There are other schemes in the standard (like UTF-16 or UCS-4). Your issue here is with the

Yes, PHP has some warts, but so do ruby & javascript [1], python [2], and all other similar languages. The keyword to look for people explaining some of these warts is "wat" (popularized by the talk at [1] I think). [1] https

I'm not saying apple's engineering isn't good, just that it doesn't seem to be that exceptional. If the other companies couldn't have a design ready for 5nm then why would apple pay for the exclusivity rights?

The problem is the assertion that "It's Apple's engineering and design". Engineering & design don't buy you the entire world's supply of the best in class fab capacity for some months: money does. It seems

I've done the "turning off javascript" thing with next. It involved a minor override in _document.js to avoid generating the script tags. Not officially supported, but not hard either.

My pragmatic solution: - Run debian stable to get a solid base system - When you want the latest version of some software and need it "on the host" for some reason: use the official repositories / auto-updating stuff (e.g.: d

I think you are incorrect here. DNSSEC protects from the root servers' (.) keys downward. If you have a compliant DNSSEC resolver it should authenticate the entire chain using the pre-shared keys for the root domain. For a MITM attack

I've always undrestood that MITM attacks can both be: - active (injecting/tampering with content), which is what DNSSEC protects against. - passive (eavesdropping), which is what DNS over TLS protects against. Am I missing somethi

As other comments said, DNS is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks without DNSSEC, and DNSSEC is not widely adopted. However, even with DNSSEC, bob could obtain domain.tld's keys and then use them to MITM alice's DNS requests,

The funny part is that you don't have a name that only applies to people from your country. As the other comment said, there many millions of Americans that are not from the US. In the same vein, people from the EU call themselves Euro

Note that on a US keyboard the ` (backtick) key is the one right below ESC. If you have the keyboard in another locale (I use ES-intl) that hotkey doesn't make any sense at all: ` is next to "p" in my keyboard, and works only

24bit audio makes sense in the studio to avoid compounding errors from all the effects used to produce the track, but it doesn't make sense for the final piece because 16-bit perfectly represents everything we humans are able to hear [

It makes sense. Income taxes are progressive, which means you pay (percentually) more the more you earn. Let's see an example. Say that the payer earns 120k pre-tax. Now: a) If you tax the recipient the judge orders a 60k/60k spli

IRC at its core is really simple: there's a server that relays messages between currently connected clients (i.e.: the server does not store messages ever). To whom does each message get sent? This is where channels come in: a "
