Absolutely; that's the ideological goal that everyone wants to keep.

To reiterate the argument in my previous message, I had exactly what you described. The data pack only had a tiny 100MB cap (yup!!) and I (without any other form of internet at the time, actually now I remember this was 2005) easily blew through that as my mindset at the time was "if it moves then I'm gonna see if if the stupid HTML renderer in this thing will load it".

So I eventually had to accept having no internet. I could use email though. So the thing is, I experienced this, but there was no hype and freakout about it, it was just incredibly annoying and frustrating.

I honestly don't know if this was a "curated" freakout. The collective "...wait." is absolutely genuine and the problem absolutely undeniable, I can't possibly argue that; it's just... this isn't really that new to me.

As BAT requires a specific browser that I don't imagine it taking off. Also I prefer a solution that doesn't ultimately rely on advertising.
Breakthrough Starshot could use I1/Oumuamua as a test object once they got some prototypes ready:

After 8 years Oumuamua will be 6.64 billion km away (at 26.32km/s).
A Starshot prototype probe flying at 1500km/s (0.5% of lightspeed c) could reach that distance in 51 days.

Starshot hopes to achieve 20% c eventually.

It is pretty transparent when somebody is writting to me to sell something and I care less about that text instinctively. I don't care what the copywriter wants, I care about what I want. I don't care about your sales or conversion rates, I'm solving my problems. Going through all the desperate fluff is just too bothersome.

Oh what's that, you've figured out how to put my first name into the first sentence? We know how templates work, that doesn't make it more personal.

Oh you use fancy designs and flashy graphics? How does that bring me closer to my goals?

Etc., etc.

A short, valuable, plain text is more important to me than all the fancy vacuous copy in the world.
One of many questions. It was more like spouse, children, parents, siblings and then a table of age, job, education level. They made it look something like it's asking for emergency contacts.

I'm sure they asked pregnancy status too. Also I've heard some forms will even ask your spouse's race and religion.

Very personal questions are normal where I live, but there's no law that says I have to answer them.
While admirable, food provided by temples is not akin to Indira canteen. The ground reality is that a person of a different caste or religion would not be able (or not feel comfortable) to avail services, where at a low-cost canteen, he or she is able to partake quality food at the canteens.

There is a lot of value that these canteens provide over haphazard temple based food charity.

I miss SoftICE.

I did give them a try and I use them for a different purpose. I use profiles when I want a separate set of bookmarks, browsing history and/or addons (like a work/home separation). I use containers if I want a different set of cookies, so usually if I need to log into a single service with multiple identities. Maybe I should have mentioned that in the article but I totally forgot about the containers when writing. They are nice but I wouldn't miss them much if they were gone.

How can I force a specific website to always open in a specific container? I cannot find it.
I actually hope that as a result of the article someone who works with similar materials is able to get in touch with her and possibly fabricate replacements - ideally a hobbyist who might be willing to do it for the cost of materials. It's not like the actual technology for making them is lost, it's that it's not commercially viable to manufacture them in more than single-digit quantities.

The German criminal law explicitly covers e.g. all cases of money counterfeiting, human trafficking, and war crimes worldwide regardless of nationality. They have given themselves some binding restrictions on what cases should be prosecuted. Of course enforcement is usually hard to impossible so it does not get used often. But just as an example, a German court has sentenced an Rwandan FDLR president for assisting war crimes even though there is absolutely no connection to Germany.

Germany is not alone in claiming universal jurisdiction for certain crimes.

Even if the site is supposed to be static, an active attacker can still inject dynamic code into it.

In one somewhat recent example, a non-HTTPS page was modified in transit by an attacker to inject Javascript code which did a denial-of-service attack against github. Had the page used HTTPS, the attacker would not be able to inject that Javascript.
Could you please elaborate and give an example of these techniques.

MS broke the law multiple times

Could you expand on that?

I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is that it's not against the law to be a monopoly, but it is against the law to abuse one's monopoly position.

What I'm hazy on is whether antitrust enforcement defendants are informed by the government that they're a monopoly prior to being charged with abusing said monopoly.

Is that the case, or no?

Did Microsoft break any laws that it wouldn't have broken had the government not decided that they were a monopoly?
I bet getting this to compile was more of a headache than manually patching it. This component - being old itself - probably has tons of dependencies on even older libraries. Code in its teens would need a lot of cleanup to be built (and work) with a modern optimizing compiler and recreating ancient build environment isn't simple either. They did the cost/benefit analysis before fixing a bug.

> I don't want to pay less and have access to only a subset of the internet (talking about more than just the web).

Here's the thing.

The Web - HTML/JS/CSS/etc - is the largest legacy installation of anything, anywhere. The complexity of JS, and the fact that we can do anything with it protocol-wise (WebSockets, XHR, _especially_ WebRTC+SCTP, etc), has guaranteed that the Internet in its current form cannot go anywhere anytime soon.

And I've just described the Web. Inter-bank transfers use SFTP. Literally every non-braindead company has a VPN. IP<->IP is going to live literally forever. So this model is effectively safe.

Now I've just described corporate/server use. A few years ago satellite set-top boxes were using dialup (AFAIK) to feed back vote results and do the payment<->key-exchange handshake for pay-per-view.

That's legacy satellite equipment, which is admittedly on the way out. Well, I had an ECG done a while back and _it_ used a modem (over POTS) too (the RJ11 for the phone was connected, the RJ45 for a LAN was not).

And that device looked pretty new, too. Well, it looked pretty modern, in any case; it had a dot-matrix monochrome LCD, the kind that you can see redraw slowly if you look at them from the right angle. But it probably went through 5 years of evaluations and approvals so that makes sense.

I completely forgot back to base alarm systems. Oh and "connected" car alarm systems too. And the SIMs in GPS trackers...

We have all manner of wired and wireless connections being used for an irreplaceable plethora of stuff.

P2P and "get out there and talk" has existed since the days of CB radios. The Internet is just an extension of that.

--

Regarding TV, I'm reminded of reading about someone who spent a few years in the 90s and ~2000-2003 (I think) digging around the satellite spectrum and recording stuff to tapes. He did a documentary-type thing and put it on youtube. I unfortunately can't remember what it was called :(

--

The more I look at things, the more I see that the internet will go back to being the domain of people who are technically inclined. That's already happening to a small extent with Tor. The only major difference this time is that the technically-inclined curious types will have higher chances of getting caught in crossfire from nearby unsavory groups they happen to be too close to without realizing it (my sentiment here comes from the SMTP blocks that happened a few years ago where if you were even in the same IP range as someone in a botnet you'd endup on a DNSBL somewhere, but in this case I think this one'll be more of a mindset thing).
That's really not in the same class as the Droid/Milestone.
This is an ultra small laptop, much larger than a phone and cannot really be used as one.

The Droid wasn't bigger than an average Android phone at the time and still packed an almost full keyboard and a dpad.
Yes, but that is assuming it is accessible everywhere. Majority in the world still do not have an fast enough wired connection.

Not sure if Apple is having some heavy hands in this but I think 4.9G and 5G will fix this within next 10 years. While it is still a little too early to tell, it does have the potential to be used as the sole connection in many areas.

I do my best to keep a decent following distance, and try to match the average speed of traffic in rush hour. Sure, some people will merge in front of me, but there's usually enough buffer space that I don't have to adjust my speed by a lot. And when traffic inevitably clumps up, I slack off the speed a little instead of having to brake. I've notice that some people are perfectly happy to stay behind me and match my speed, to avoid stop-and-go.

I also try to position myself to make my merging intentions clear. I try to find a reasonable space to match speed and merge in, instead of trying to force myself in front. If traffic is completely blocked up, I will drive closer to the car in front if it's necessary to encourage a proper zipper merge. I sometimes see people getting really pissed off at that, usually the people who seem to be glued to the rear bumper of the car in front of them.

The basic rule I adhere to is that whoever's front bumper is the furthest forward gets to merge in front. It should be so self-evident and obvious, put people just don't want to let other people "win".
Actually Purism is being completely honest that they have isolated and disabled the ME while not actually removing it.
I think libraries and open space offices with no personal seating are the best place to use such a device.
Libraries supply the screen/mouse/keyboard/internet and you bring your device.
It actually does imply turing completeness, it just doesn't guarantee it. I know of no build language that builds in the ability to do conditionals and loops that isn't turing complete. At that point... why bother? Why not just use a good turing complete language and give it some libraries that make building software easier?

There's a lot of times and places where removing turing completeness makes complete sense - configuration, user stories, translation files and simple DSLs that operate in a very restricted problem space, etc. Building software isn't a restricted problem space.
I just looked up the study with positive control you mentioned. Are you deliberately portraying the study in a false light?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3964149/

The study literally says: "MBCT provided significant protection against relapse for participants with increased vulnerability due to history of childhood trauma, but showed no significant advantage in comparison to an active control treatment and usual care over the whole group of patients with recurrent depression."

Which means: in some cases MBCT is SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER than the compared treatments and overall it is AS GOOD AS the compared treatments (i.e. cognitive psychological education (CPE) and treatment as usual (TAU)).

Now, looking back at your post, you said "failed to show a therapeutic benefit" which is strange, because the mentioned study shows that the therapeutic benefit is about the same and sometimes it is even better compared to CPE and TAU. So why would you say that MBCT does not show therapeutic benefit if it has the same results as the other (best?) known treatment methods?

PS: I would really like to turn your biased question around: Do you know of any treatment method which is better than MBCT?

This is not what the Baseline Requirements state and it's also not how issuance works in practice. The validation requirements for things like "Organization" always apply "[if] the Applicant requests a Certificate that will contain the countryName field and other Subject Identity Information."

If you submit a CSR with any of these fields, and you're requesting a DV certificate, the CA will discard those fields. Any sane CA implementation will cherry-pick only a whitelisted set of fields from the CSR, make sure the values have been validated according to the Baseline Requirements and root policies, assemble the certificate from that data and sign the result, ignoring all other fields (or discarding the request).

CAs that run something like sign(user_submitted_csr) would not last long in any of the major root programs.
