As far as I can tell, if they took a public domain image, modified it in some way, and sold that on their site, it would be copyright them. They could sue you for using it or whatever they wanted. What would count as modified, I don't

I can't see how breaking up Amazon helps this kind of thing. Sure you could break of AWS, you could separate fulfilment stuff from the main marketplace and have Amazon itself just another marketplace seller, you could insist they use 3

They seem to have fixed it by removing the "popular petitions" section from the home page. I guess it's possible that there are no popular petitions in the last hour because of the outage.

This is not about encryption, only signing. When PayPal or your bank or another large organisation send you an email it should be signed. Then you can verify it is from them. Encryption would be a nice to have, but, while it uses the same t

You don't need to encrypt or sign anything. Organisations who email you like your bank and Paypal need to. You just need your email client to show a tick when it has verified a signature, which many already do with S/MIME.

From a UX perspective, it is exactly the same as a verified user on Twitter or whatever. Some people get a blue tick by their name in their emails. Also if someone who normally sends you a signed message sends you an unsigned one, a securit

Supporting http2 at an nginx reverse proxy doesn't help the problem in the original post, which is mostly about internal connections between microservices, e.g. going from your nginx proxy to your node or rails server. Putting http2 he

They /could/ do it quite easily. I can email people who have different kinds of email account with no problem. The Jabber / XMPP protocol was designed to link messaging systems in this way. While it would be great if they mov

I find it's "non standard" tagging system is a massively superior model for managing email. I really wish there were alternatives that did similar, and a protocol like IMAP or JMAP that assumed the tagging based model underne

Does the "PewDiePie hack", done via UPnP, have anything whatsoever to do with the Chromecast deauth bug, which, as far as I can tell, requires being on the same WiFi as the Chromecast? This article, and some others I have read see

Data may be absurdly cheap and free wifi might be easy to find where you live, but it certainly isn't everywhere. Even if you do find wifi, it's often slow or totally broken. It usually requires you to log in and be tracked. Often

Many things don't happen at a point, they happen in an area, e.g. if something is relevant to France as a whole, don't show it as happening in Paris, use something to indicate a bounding box or radius which the story is centred on
