That's what "domain fronting" was: you put an innocuous domain in the SNI but a different domain in the Host: header and in some circumstances with some CDNs this would work.

They also did a more in-depth episode on Grenfell, which touched on a lot of the same issues, except Grenfell was (a) taller and (b) occupied.

I get the impression that some of the big name CAs are ... not very technology oriented, you might say. They focus on the sales side, and treat the actual issuance and revocation of certificates as an unfortunate cost center and minimize in

Hm, you normally need more nozzle (/bell) as you ascend. I'm not sure how to square this with autophagy but if you figure it out I will subscribe to your newsletter.

I think that's a deep misunderstanding of "the 10× programmer". They produce 10× of the useful output, but they don't necessarily work that much harder.

I'm not a historian of real property law, but my understanding is it's more often the other way around. The legal boundaries were/are defined by a mixture of reference to objects on the ground and conventional use. Any WGS84

Interestingly, optical was one of the PHYs for the original 802.11: indirect (diffuse) infrared. I think the idea was that the AP and the individual nodes would communicate by scatter off the office ceiling. (The other two PHYs were FHSS an

I've wondered why that is. Both Linux and MacOS take several seconds to change low level screen parameters like this. It made some sense in the age of CRTs, but today I struggle to understand why it takes more than 50ms. What is it doi

I don't think that it's truly universal, but quite a few image compression schemes have a similar structure if you stand back and squint: 1. Use a reversible linear transform to transform the image into some other space. (It'

Hm, you're right, even the 13.56 tags have come way down in price. Anyway, I think my point still stands: RFID as a technology used to be more expensive, and used to be at a price point were tracking an asset like a book or a shipping

They are chips. Press release suggests they're using Impinj's ISO-18000-63 chips. Those chips are small (datasheet says 362×247×120 microns) and directly bonded to the printed antenna inlay.

A library book is a relatively expensive object (not necessarily the physical book, but the whole cost of having the book at the library). Spending a couple dollars on a durable tag that is permanently attached to the book makes sense. Reta

It's really easy to generate a public RSA key with desired patterns in it. The 1992-era PGP did use the last few bytes of the public key as the identifier, but later versions moved to using a truncated hash (MD5, and later SHA). At som
