Thanks to certificate transparency the CA system is really not a huge risk.

I agree about securedrop, but the blog post seems to discuss “platforms such as Facebook, the BBC or NYT”. Also in the case of securedrop it might make sense to have that separate from the rest of your infrastructure, so the “hidden” part o

Most of the technical points listed here are pretty much entirely mitigated by TLS. Exit nodes can of course deny access to specific sites, but hidden services suffer from comparable (or worse) issues. There are no other practical attacks t

Are people supposed to carry boxes of masks with them now? Perhaps easy to do if you carry a purse. Realistically most people won’t do this, and people will just end up wearing the same mask for excessive periods of time. Contaminating it o

Of course it’s a policy issue, if the government wants everyone entering random businesses to wear masks then the government should supply the masks. Now they’ve just created a situation where random businesses will use government policy as

It serves the irrationally scared parents. Probably not a good thing, yeah.

Not any less irrational in Europe. The countries I’ve visited recently that still require masks rarely have them available anywhere. I’ve walked into so many businesses in France and Spain that insist I should wear a mask, but yet don’t hav

Nothing in the article supports the claim made by the headline. It is actually rather unlikely that this guy lost his cryptocurrency to a browser driveby attack as claimed, odds are he did something far more stupid to get owned.

Is it really so bad to call out a throwaway account created for the sole purpose of violating HN rules? Calling someone a coward for throwing insults at me from a throwaway account is hardly inappropriate. The fact that you had to ban his a

Neither spectre nor meltdown were very exciting vulnerabllities. Technically interesting, but too hard to usefully exploit in the browser. LPE? Those are a dime in a dozen. Nobody cares about home users, it’s businesses which this hurts.

> 71% welcomes all sorts of isolation, sanctions. They don’t care if tomorrow all western companies shut down business in Russia. “Iran has coped, so do we”. Yeah, this is strictly not true.

Why are you people so obsessed with regime change? Russia has to be severely penalized so that they or others don’t repeat the same actions in the future.

by rosndo 5y ago
A huge amount of Russians genuinely support these things, rectors tend to be older so they definitely represent the most supportive demographic.

Most sanctions that could be imposed have not been imposed yet. The indirect effects of current banking sanctions have made it almost impossible to do business with Russia though. I have many Russian customers, but neither my Chinese nor UA

If such sanctions are imposed, then yes. Such sanctions have not been imposed yet. If software companies decide to suspend sales to Russia, then they might have to resort to piracy and possibly miss out on OS updates.

by rosndo 5y ago
I guess you think that all sanctions against Russia are also “grossly immoral”, no? E: My reply to the now deleted child comment by “from” which suggested that the sanctions are pointless because they probably won’t result in regime change.

It would be easy and prudent to personally sanction anyone putting their name on lists like this, no? These are 700 people who should be permanently cut off from the west.
