Given that webkit.js uses emscripten to build webkit for JS, and emscripten can target the wasm backend, ummm.. this is largely already done :) Obligatory reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nazm3_OXac I think it is

Sure. Alistair Pilkington and Arthur Fowle, between the two of them invented the technologies used to create almost all glass. It might not seem like it's high impact, but from the glass in office buildings, to automotive glass, to sm

IDK, I can't help but wonder if this is the result of everyone else moving to more modern standards and leveraging shared infrastructure while the Bloomberg folks double down on a legacy architecture. I could buy largest private finan

Fortunately I don't need to think too much about what I am saying on this topic, because this has been an area that's been examined by lawyers, law makers, and researchers for at least 20 years. There is a growing mountain of evi

That's great! It sounds like you have worked at places that follow the rules. Please don't use your personal observations to discount the growing collection of evidence that this sort of thing is happening at tech companies aroun

Why "if she doesn't sue"? Assuming she is giving an honest accounting, and has the evidence to back it, why shouldn't she be compensated for shedding the light on the shitty practices of the company that shielded her, a

I do too, and I also think that if one reasonably well funded, free CA that has full transparency is great, then two would be awesome :D

Recommending Pale Moon to folks who care about security is foolish. There is a much bigger story and a bit of internet drama around it, but essentially, when I asked the Palemoon project lead about their security program on twitter, he blo

Indeed, I don't recall atm which one Amazon used for their SSL offerings (which are coupled to AWS iirc), but they used the same approach (while also going through the normal channels).

Maybe, but one important factor is that having a patent-protected lock-in on a market that has a great deal of potential will certainly make his investors happier.

I won't say which, but one of my previous employers had a policy of only using frameworks and libraries that were invented at the org to reduce the likelihood of employees developing transferable skills. I learned about the policy aft

You are correct, taking a single data point and discrediting people with it isn't surveillance. Taking the list, and merging it with the myriad of other sets of metadata, reports, and other resources at the government's disposal i

Yeah, imagine if processors gave best effort to processing binaries... what could possibly go wrong :/ The decision to allow this was made early and the liberal accept/strict transmit paradigm has in general made the web a mess. O

Um, if I am a content consumer that has legitimate access to content streams from two different sources, why am I not allowed to multiplex those streams in a way that is useful to me? This is not about Twitter, or CNN, but the users abili

True, but do note that postal codes and ZIP codes are a recent adoption, only deployed in US/UK/Canada since the 1960s The history of post addresses is quite interesting in it's own right :)

This remains a solved problem. The location phrase specifies the coarse location. Additional addressing information is used to introduce granularity. Look at how addresses are conventionally written already, and in a good chunk of the wo

You have conflated two technologies - Strict Transport Security, which is a header that tells the browser to stick to TLS connections only. If your admin has deployed a CA that your browser trusts and uses a cert from that CA to MITM your

See my other comment in the thread. Palemoon lacks the resources to drive a modern browser fork. Rather than trying to maintain the current fork they have, the proposal is to either rebase, or create a new fork (or some other definition of

Heh. If the CAs had done this ages ago the cost of certs would have collapsed. I can't help but think that collusion between the CAs was a regular thing to prevent something like LE from happening in order to prevent the business mod

Palemoon is not a viable alternative; Firefox and Mozilla, with all of their resources have failed to ship a fix for the most security relevant feature in the browser - a sandbox (it's coming, finally). Palemoon has eschewed the advan
