Tickets. Email. Signal (emergencies and sensitive info only). Async all the things. Keep devs out of meetings. Don't track work hours. Never do Slack/Teams unless a client pays a lot to suck you into that or if they pay a very lar

Love it. I had one of these next to my kitchen sink at eye level and chromecasted to the kitchen stereo. A big volume button was so nice. Can't wait to flash this and resuscitate it

Not always the easiest thing to do. A haunted domain could have been haunted 15 years ago. And Google refuses to tell you why or fix their system. Just one more place where the web gets screwed by a company too big to have to do basic custo

Please don't. Journalism is work. The current site is a nice and fair summary (though I think the attribution to the original sources rather hidden) with easy links to the original source. If yu start doing automated summaries, you are

Holy hell. This was inevitable. Hackers, allegedly Chinese, got into the federally mandated surveillance backdoors of Verizon and AT&T's networks, snooping on everything. The mandated backdoors were first required on phone systems

It's not dubious. That's exactly what DT has been doing for a long time. DT is partly owned by the German government, which might explain why it's been allowed to be a bully. It ran this same shakedown routine on an academic

DT tries to make everyone that peers pay them. Facebook used to pay the ransom, then decided to stop. Now its going to move to a transit connection. The problem is DT keeps its transit routes congested or artificially limits how much traffi

With no sense of irony, this blog is written on a platform that allows some Nazis, algorithmically promotes publishers, allows comments, and is thus only financially viable because of Section 230. If you actually want to understand somethin

ISPs want it all the ways. It's such a vital telecommunication service that the government should give them subsidies to build out networks and provide subsidies to people with low incomes to purchase their services. But when it comes

The hard thing with this kind of search engine is that if it gets it wrong, the user is the one who takes on the liability. I would pay a license fee and so would a lot of smaller sites if you had insurance and indemnification if they got s

Google Books Ngram for net neutrality https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Net+neutrality... Saying net neutrality shifted in meaning since the 1990s is nonsensical

by rsingel 2y ago
Net neutrality was first used and defined as a term in 2002 by Tim Wu in a paper called A Proposal for Net Neutrality. The first FCC work about it was a speech by then FCC chairman Michael Powell in February 2004 at the The silicon flat iro

This is wrong on so many accounts. An ISP selling Internet access to regular folks sells access to the entire Internet. To do that the ISP connect its network to the rest of the internet via a transit connection. All your traffic goes throu

This is correct and exactly why Cloudflare should have thrown this in the green compost bin the moment it showed up, and written back to say if you send us this kind of trash again, we will sue you.

There's no federal law requiring AT&T to hold onto this data. There's possibly a FISA court requirement (too secret to reveal), but AT&T has long been an exceedingly willing part of the gov's spying apparatus. It fed

Just took your suggestion to edit Wikipedia with a reputable source. I guess it's true now since it's in Wikipedia. Enjoy your cult of personality.

What a bunch of whataboutism horseshit. I edited the first event press mention of WikiLeaks at Wired. I covered the early Guantanamo leaks and the Iraqi Apache attack. I've interviewed Assange, likely before you ever heard of him. I br
