Tim Berners-Lee has an article titled 'Web Security - "HTTPS Everywhere" harmful'[1]. He argues not that encryption is bad (as the title might ambiguously suggest), but that the use of a different URI prefix (http vs https) is harmful because it requires use of that prefix to ensure encryption and authentication is used. Rather, the HTTP prefix should be used for encryption, and upgraded in real-time by the client.

> A proposal then is to do HTTPS everywhere in the sense of the protocol but not the URI prefix. A browser gives the secure-looking user interface message, such as displaying the server certificate holder name above the document, only when the document has been fetched in an authenticated over an encrypted channel. This can be done by upgrading the HTTP to include TLS in real time, or in future cases by just trying encrypted version first.

He also states

> It is the user's task to ensure that their interactions are secure.

meaning, users are trained to look for the 's' but browsers are hiding the URI prefix, making this difficult.

It's really not.
Regardless of your views of the CA system, trusted certificate issued by a CA are designed to offer both security and authentication. An untrusted certificate however provides only security. I expect the reason browsers treat unsigned certificates as bad is for a few major reasons:

* Security without authentication (While slightly better than plain HTTP) is near useless in the real world. Without the authentication that CA trusted certificates provide, you have no guarantee that the host you are communicating with is the site and not a MitM attacker, all the certificate stops is passive eavesdropping.

* The SSH system of connecting to a host once and saving the certificate is unworkable on the larger web. You do not and can not know the certificate of any random site you visit, the CA system solves this problem.

* Browser vendors and CAs actively want websites to be using CA trusted certificates. If browsers accepted untrusted certificates a larger number of sites would use them, as opposed to CA trusted certificates.

* Unlike HTTP, a minuscule number of websites use unsigned certificates and as a result it is safe to penalise sites using them. The end game for browsers vendors is that every site uses a CA trusted certificate; this update to chrome further shows their intent to deprecate HTTP.
The funny thing is that local and federal politics has been reversed from what I'd consider the desirable order. I think the federal government should be filled up with starry-eyed idealists and the local government should be run by pragmatic conservatives. But for some reason we've got the conservatives in power at the federal level and at the local level, at least where I live, the most useless hippies you've ever met.

I don't know how it got to be that way.
There are lots of offices above the retail spaces on University Ave in Palo Alto, and have been plenty of small companies there for decades. I don't think people were upset about that. I suspect impetus for this ban is Palentir. More egregiously, they turned a huge retail/commercial space into their cafeteria. There are big windows in the front where you can see employees eating. Honestly, it's weird.

I think they broke an unwritten social contract: small companies on University Ave. are okay, but you need to move out once you grow up. You can't try take over and push everyone else out.

That there are worse offenders of the principle that you have to show something to be harmful before you ban it doesn't make the behaviour of the FDA better.

It's hard to compare the EU to America just like that, especially since the EU is not a state, but you may be right. The EU makes incredibly arbitrary judgements and bans sometimes. Some European countries, however, fare much better when it comes to avoiding such blatant authoritarianism.

I moved from China to US, and I had the exactly same feeling: Chinese media portrait a much consistent image of US leaders, unanimously focus on their words and deeds that are concerned to China. They left the entire other aspects blank, leave me an impression that they probably did reasonable work in other areas.

After moving, I see so many more facts from US media's portrait of US leaders. Actually, they did many many more questionable things other than those concerned China (questionable or not). I was deeply troubled by the fact that the intention to move to a free country to attain the transformation from a dictatorship regime to a free one, is more like a transformation from a worse one to a less worse one.

I installed it last night, making sure to get the patches in order to use VESA not just SVGA. That gave me color. NS sure is beautiful. My color slab wasn't this good looking, since the slab had 16 bits of color.

The dated part for me is having to setup the OS for some workflows that have come about since NS days. Some things for scroll wheels not getting recognized out of the box and other polish. WS is great, though I'd change the Drag and Drop just a little. My memory of WS must have tarnished or faded some over the years, because it was and is really easy to work with.

I'll likely install the developer cd this weekend.

Thanks, again, for getting me to reinstall.

On a side note, there are commercial projects that use GNUstep. I use Hopper, a disassembler, that uses GNUstep.

From the developer training I still remember one statement in particular, "Even if NS isn't around in a few years, there will be a company that deeply understands what we do and they will do it." I guess that prophetically was OS X (at least in part).

1. The costs you cite, is assuming $6 per gallon for jet fuel. But the 2016 TYD is $1.39.
http://www.transtats.bts.gov/fuel.asp

Thus, the values would be about $11 for the 747-400.
6.37 for the 787-8.

In addition, at the $6 gallon rate, the newer 3rd generation 747, the 747-8 which uses the same engines (and I believe redesigned wings consistent with the 787-8) as the 787-8 is $42.49 compared with $47.34 for the older 747-400.

At the current $1.39 YTD per gallon price, the 747-8 costs $9.85 per nautical mile.

That's true I suppose, laws are a lot harder to redact than to enact, so we should take care not to over-legislate. That being said, I think it's still an applicable scenario in this case due to the potentially society scale threat. In many other smaller-scale scenarios, I would tend to agree with your stance on it.

Yeah, I would have expected that a domain called "Cafe Hayek" and a post title of "Thinking at the Margin: It's Revolutionary" would have noticed that it's not a supply-side surplus that drives down these wages, but a complex interaction of how the demand-side works.

First off, we have the layers of oligopolization, like you've said: carefully marketed and individuated products for sports, film, and music ensure that there's a substantial profit margin there. It's not that there aren't indie films or small sports teams; it's that these companies have convinced people that this is their team and that their identity is mixed in with it, just the way that my girlfriend drinks Diet Coke and not pop.

Teaching is simultaneously much more cutthroat, with tons of schools that are constantly shifting composition and competing for the same slice of some dearth of public funds which first gets siphoned off by the occasionally-corrupt bureaucrats at the top, superintendents and such, who don't have nearly the accountability that the teachers do. Then there is a competition among the teachers, ameliorated somewhat by unions, but there is also a competition between the unions too. All of this ensures that there's money to spare for the pop cultures that's not there for the educational infrastructure. UNTIL... you get to colleges, where there are some colleges which have distinct identities; I still name-drop my undergraduate work at Cornell rather than my Master's at the TU Delft, even though the latter is a much greater achievement. There's a bit more pie around for the professors, and they enjoy much more cushy arrangements like tenure.

If you average over athletes in general, athletes get paid crap. Most of them are teenagers playing in exchange for being taken out for pizza afterwards; then there are adult amateurs and college-level play... You take the typical inner-city basketball player and evaluate his chances of making it to stardom, you're going to be talking about winning the lottery. Even if he has big dreams. Same with actors. But what you're actually seeing in these celebrities is a carefully-played oligopoly causing a great demand for a scarce product, and the scarcity drives these commitments to finding the best-of-the-best that allows stars to leverage that monopoly that all of us have in a free society, our monopoly on our own labor.

We already have the healthcare system in place, and it already works well. The problem is cost. While it's impossible to say what the cost driver is, when you look at the performance of companies in the healthcare sector, you'll see they're doing extremely well, outpacing the S&P500 by 50% over the past decade. [1]

So at least some large portion of this cost increase is going into the pockets of executives and shareholders.

Yes. Because I don't care for the divisive nature of the comment. If the person can learn to refrain from such childish comments in the future then I would find it productive.

Besides, my opinion of the comment has no bearing on my opinion of the healthcare system in any way. I can be offended by both at the same time thank you very much.
> The idea is that you fetch the full buckets from 2 (or more) independent hashes, and then sift through them linearly without further memory accesses

Maybe. How do you know what the commenter (erichocean) meant?

If they say that using "buckets" can mean the same locality of memory references as linear probing, their interpretation of what "buckets" mean must deal with that problem in some way.
If the system was designed right any infrastructure could be distributed (put a bitcoin address and a notification URL in your HTML or something dead simple like that) and development could be sponsored by interested parties if needed. There wouldn't be any need for a fee.
I wonder how much the prevalence of skinny wood frame walls and sash windows in the US contribute to this issue--if houses were made of 2x6s with continuous insulation, or double 2x4 studs, or masonry, and had casement windows instead, I suspect people wouldn't mind the outside noise as much.

How about, no? There's a reason I block JS with noscript. It's not about page load speed, browser responsiveness, or ad blocking. (Although it helps in those areas remarkably) I block JS because executing untrusted JS code[3] is a good way to get hacked.

Slightly recessing the screen may not be enough. It's certainly not enough for asphalt. You'll need several millimeters of distance, and are probably much better by just placing some protective screen above it (although that increases the chance of something getting damaged - it'll just be the protective screen instead of the real one).

I've had good luck in choosing phones with cases just elastic enough to break a bit while protecting the screen (even without any kind of cover). But I never brought into the hard-case movement by Apple.

I have not seen blame from LibreOffice developers
and I do not understand what is being said in the AOO discussion.

Instead, the Apache OpenOpenOffice people took advantage of the openoffice.org domain.
They should have put on openoffice.org that the old OOo has been forked into AOO, LibreOffice and NeoOffice.
However, what they did is not mention at all that LibreOffice is one of the options out of the defunct OpenOffice.org.
It is inextricably linked to social (and therefore normative) values however, that's why it sits firmly as a social science and not a hard one.

Everything about economics is a normative value judgment. It is in fact a normative value judgment to claim it is a 'science' more akin to physics than philosophy -- this gives a faux-neutral, faux-objective validity to a field which should not have it. The metrics economists choose to use, the usually horrifyingly incorrect assumptions (rational consumers, competition, efficiency, etc) they make in order to get to a place where they can apply some mathematical theory -- all normative judgments central to the field, just made implicit.
This was the one that flipped the lightbulb for me.

What? That is an incredibly strange notion. So by default, everything should be banned, and it should only be legal if you can show it's safe? That is not how it works. A ban is an authoritarian action that has to be enforced at gunpoint, always keep that in mind. It is not only a very extreme stance to take, it is a violent one. A ban should only apply on things that are shown to be bad and harmful.
This argument is way too simplistic and not generalizable. For example, doctors get paid very well, and are also very important to society. The answer must be more nuanced than: important jobs have a lot more supply, therefore the demand for them is cheap.

Personally, I believe the pay of a profession has little to do with the profession itself, and more to do with the system that surrounds the profession. There is not just the economics of supply and demand for the profession, but also at every level of the system.

For example, doctors and police offers both save lives. It's unclear to me why doctors would make 8x the salary of a police officer. However, doctors require 10 more years of schooling and long hours of practice in the early years. This is part of the system of early education that surrounds the profession. But the interesting thing is I feel most of these requirements are unnecessary and are more vestiges of an evolution of the market that define them. Doctors don't need to work such long hours in residency if we only accepted more residents. But that would lower the salary of doctors. That's one supply/demand system. Also the ridiculous educational requirements of "pre-med" is mostly a deterrent to stop more people from becoming doctors. The only reason to go through the suffering is to have the opportunity of a high salary. If the salary was low, no one would do it. Another supply demand system.

There are many economic "markets" along the way to a profession, that have little to do with the profession itself, but have a lot to do with computing the salary of the profession. Ultimately you'd think the markets would "equilibrate" to a just one. But is seems there are many "unfair" equilibria.
You're not weird, in fact, you're thinking about a very interesting question. What is "government" or "law"? From whence does it derive its "authority"? What is a valid application of this thing called "government" or "State"?

They're old now, but I think some of the best answers to this are found in the writings of Frederic Bastiat.[1]

This bit in particular is relevant:

------

What, then, is law? It is the collective organization of the individual right to lawful defense.

Each of us has a natural right — from God — to defend his person, his liberty, and his property. These are the three basic requirements of life, and the preservation of any one of them is completely dependent upon the preservation of the other two. For what are our faculties but the extension of our individuality? And what is property but an extension of our faculties? If every person has the right to defend even by force — his person, his liberty, and his property, then it follows that a group of men have the right to organize and support a common force to protect these rights constantly. Thus the principle of collective right — its reason for existing, its lawfulness — is based on individual right. And the common force that protects this collective right cannot logically have any other purpose or any other mission than that for which it acts as a substitute. Thus, since an individual cannot lawfully use force against the person, liberty, or property of another individual, then the common force — for the same reason — cannot lawfully be used to destroy the person, liberty, or property of individuals or groups.

Such a perversion of force would be, in both cases, contrary to our premise. Force has been given to us to defend our own individual rights. Who will dare to say that force has been given to us to destroy the equal rights of our brothers? Since no individual acting separately can lawfully use force to destroy the rights of others, does it not logically follow that the same principle also applies to the common force that is nothing more than the organized combination of the individual forces?

If this is true, then nothing can be more evident than this: The law is the organization of the natural right of lawful defense. It is the substitution of a common force for individual forces. And this common force is to do only what the individual forces have a natural and lawful right to do: to protect persons, liberties, and properties; to maintain the right of each, and to cause justice to reign over us all.

Come on! Porn is pretty pervasive on the Chinese internet, you don't even have to search for it to find it. They are not thorough at all when it comes to domestic sites...its like they don't even care. Also, all of imgur is not blocked, which is mostly porn.

I had the same problem with my 2011 Samsung Smart TV. It had an app for Amazon's Prime Video. Amazon eventually abandoned it and sent me part-credit for a Fire TV stick.

I also have a Chromecast and am generally positive about it, however it's very laggy to controller (i.e. app) input. For example, here's a feature I see as pretty basic for a "smart" display: select a bunch of photos from my phone, beam them to my TV, and flick through them using the phone. All the Chromecast-enabled slideshow apps I've tried for this have been laggy and disappointing, unfortunately.
