The problem here isn’t that the certificates themselves have an expiration date, it’s that the code that generates them has a hard-coded date. Even if you try to generate a new certificate after 2020-01-01, the expiration date will still be

Wouldn’t that also filter out the light from your own headlights, thereby rendering them useless?

Did you click it? You’re supposed to click the link to view the article before commenting. There’s a very clear picture of the keyboard above-the-fold.

I figured it out. The commenter thought keyboard was referring to musical keyboards, which are not the subject of this post. In the future, please click the link before commenting.

A number of commenters seem to be confused. This link is about computer keyboards, not musical keyboards, as is immediately evident when viewing the link. Please at least click the link before you comment on a Hacker News post.

This article is about computer keyboards, not musical keyboards. What you’ve posted doesn’t make sense in the context of this topic.

I got the potential reference. I just don’t understand what’s being said here—is it a joke?

Can you elaborate? This album is about a person who built their own keyboard, but it sounds like you're describing a company. Are you saying that company designs custom keyboards?

ENS has its own issues. For example, sometimes government and law enforcement oversight of DNS is a good thing, especially in the context of malware. In my experience, for every sensational account of abuse, there are dozens or perhaps hu

While this article was an interesting take, it doesn't really provide a clear path forward. It points out a variety of problems, contradictions, and dangerous assumptions, but the reasoning presented falls short of offering solutions.

Then there shouldn’t be any defaults, right? All of these issues could easily be avoided by forcing users to provide explicit parameters. It only makes sense to offer defaults if they’re intuitive.

The internet can continue operating and growing without IPv6; it just won't be pretty. More and more endpoints will have to share a single IPv4 address; that's possible, but it can cause a variety of problems. I'm not reall

It's not just a "company". Someone has to decide who's in charge of which IP addresses. IANA is the overarching authority; they then delegates large swaths of IP addresses to regional organizations. RIPE is in charge

Firewalls, for example. We have huge files containing risk levels for various IP addresses. Most of it is automated, but sometimes we have to tweak something manually. These aren't IP addresses that we control, so DNS isn't hel

It can, but there’s a point of diminishing returns. There’s little point in protecting an ecosystem if it isn’t going to exist in a decade or two anyway. A big construction project might have a more tangible short-term impact, but if that e

There’s nothing they could reasonably be sued for here. Parody, satire, and political commentary are largely protected. Our TV programming regularly criticizes and ridicules our own country’s politicians.

You might end up fired or losing a contract, but you’re not going to end up in jail. In South Park’s case, there’s a very slim chance that the creators will lose their contracts—they’ve been doing this for a long time.
