Not with SSL certs anyway. At least not as long as your browser trusts hundreds of CA's, including shady ones such as Comodo[1] who will issue fake certs to any name (Google, Skype, etc.). [1] https://www.schneier.com/b

Sorry, but to me that office has the charme of a morgue. The choice of materials and colors (metal, stone, glass and black) feels more suited to a parking garage than an office. Also glass walls do not help with visual distractions. They ca

It just isn't satisfying being handed a check for doing nothing. You don't get the check for doing nothing. You get the check for doing whatever you want . Most people would find that very satisfying.

It is not in Google's interest to flash the true power balance here by cutting off France anyway. They couldn't care less about french revenue, but it would be a global PR disaster, likely resulting in new EU-wide regulations that

Without knowing much about french politicians I'd wager the guess that they receive the same amount of contributions as their colleagues in every other country, just through less public channels.

You are right. That is the reason why it's done this way. TV advertising is about hammering a memory into your brain through repetition. A significant portion of their audience does exactly what you say (go to the fridge or bathroom).

they had 135 employees at the time[1] and swank offices in a hip neighborhood in NY. Making all that back with "ads", especially when your platform is almost completely on mobile, is not a cakewalk. How about firing 120 employee

You only have to see how fast Ruby was a darling and even now might be regarded on its swan song By what metric, your personal preference? Because the common statistics[1][2][3] don't quite support your remark. And I'd say ther

With your solution you can only restart the load balancer at the rate of the longest running connections Well, perhaps I should have provided more detail. Our ansible deployment script actually counts the port up until it finds a free one

Another option could be to start up a parallel HAProxy that listens to a different port. That's how we do it and the script isn't even complicated. Use iptables to shift the traffic to the new instance, wait for the old instance

I think you might have a defective unit, the touchscreen on my Paperwhite works reliably. That said, even when it works perfectly it remains inferior to the simple shoulder buttons that the older kindles had. I hope Amazon brings them back

This whole debate is a red herring. The NSA already has backdoors[1][2] in your Desktop OS (Windows, OSX), in your mobile OS (Android, iOS), in your smartphone hardware (Qualcomm Baseband), in your ISPs network hardware (Cisco, Juniper), in

Why does ICANN allow TLDs that are obviously trying to be extortionate? Because they collect $0.18 USD per domain per year. It's like they're just totally admitting that new TLDs are moronic and pointless and have absolutely no

Is there any other plausible actor who could be carrying on this attack for so long? For me the more interesting question remains: Why would China be carrying out this attack? I have yet to hear a plausible motive. Other plausible actor

it seems like the number of organizations that can, in an intentional fashion, compromise a Chinese baidu colocated server is very small. As it happens the organizations who could do either that, or who could make it look as if the atta

The technical analysis pinpointing the attack to the Chinese government was definitely not blurry. If anything the attack was pinpointed to Chinese infrastructure , not the Chinese government. TTL based tracing is very deterministic and

It's not something they could do very often. Every time they do such they risk having one of their most important commercial sites (Baidu, QQ, TaoBao) null-routed by the rest of the world. That's not exactly a long-term strategy.

I don't like the underlying assumption in all these articles that the Chinese government was behind the attacks, as if we had proof for anything. Apart from the rather blurry technical analysis this particular article claims: In recen

Which s3fs are you using? The fuse-based ones that I've tried were ridden with problems and poor error handling. Hangs and truncated files were the rule rather than the exception.
