The title of this article is click-bait, surely? Apple have made much PR out of their privacy stance. Indeed, the article says: "Apple makes a big deal about its different approach to privacy on the company website". How is this e

While it's generally an offence to disclose spent convictions, the press is still free to publish details about them. Right to be forgotten means that those looking for such articles are unlikely to find them.

Discriminating on the basis of spent convictions is illegal in the UK (where this ruling took place).

My takeaway from the meeting was that it isn't clear that the spin bit is actually useful. Leaving aside the arguments that RTT shouldn't be exposed (it is anyway, with the handshake): does the spin bit actually provide useful inf

While it is owned by Norway's state oil company, it supplies the UK National Grid and receives UK government subsidies.

Your point about resegmentation (in combination with loss or out-of-order delivery) is why a framing layer, like the one in Minion, is necessary. The Minion paper [3] does a good job of illustrating the problem. [3]: https://arxi

Indeed. Though that issue sort of validated the approach: middlebox vendors will latch on to any unencrypted bits they can. The only way to stop that is to encrypt _everything_.

QUIC demonstrates a better approach: encrypt everything, limiting the ability for middleboxes to make assumptions about behaviour.

It’s been shown that leaving holes in the sequence space isn’t good for middleboxes [0]. Wanting TCP to behave more like UDP is a reasonable goal (e.g., for reachability), but you throw the benefits away if 20% of connections are disrupted

No prices on the shelf in this article: https://www.recode.net/2017/5/24/15683852/amazon-books-nyc-t... Maybe it depends on the state, and its laws on price marking.
