Such a nerdy website should really publish an OPML for its top tabs.

It would be truly nerdy if they would crawl for available feeds from front page news articles and build an OPML out of that.

Flat lists of feeds works too. Imagine an OPML or a flat list of feeds including everything with more than 100 points from the last 30 days.

Noobs will probably cry about it being larger than 4 items but if it is 100 000 feeds it would truly be an awesome thing that I will worship like a god.

Meh, there was one in Russia 2y ago. Called MMM 2.0. MMM 1.0 was also Ponzi, but not honest.

So the guy behind them got prosecuted for MMM 1.0, finished his sentence and then did 2.0 honestly.

There are a lot of unknowns right now. Amazon support has just excuses, but more and more reports come in that they seem to have a technical glitch. The support here is also not on par.

Outside of the "breaking the TOS" one of the biggest reports is that users requested an account closure themself. This is obviously a lie and also affects accounts with 2FA.

Thanks for your reply, I'll try this! Anything to look less foolish.
This article is trash. The author is projecting his vapidity on the whole human race.

>One crucial clue that the inner oracle is an illusion comes, on closer analysis, from the fact that our explanations are less than watertight. Indeed, they are systematically and spectacularly leaky. Now it is hardly controversial that our thoughts seem fragmentary and contradictory.

The author may be accurate in stating that his thoughts and "explanations" are fragmentary and contradictory - but that doesn't mean the thoughts of everyone are. Indeed, logical consistency among one's thoughts, positions, and expositions is, to me, the most important standard when it comes to judging "intelligence".

>I can’t quite tell you how a fridge works or how electricity flows around the house. I continually fall into confusion and contradiction when struggling to explain rules of English grammar, how quantitative easing works or the difference between a fruit and a vegetable.

Clearly QE and rules of grammar aren't the only thing this author is confused about. Perhaps the author shouldn't pretend (even to himself) to understand things that he doesn't and he won't end up rationalizing and inventing fantasies to fill in the gaps in his knowledge. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging, whether to yourself or others, that you don't know how something works. Everyone has gaps in their knowledge - the world is a big place, its impossible to know everything. The difference lies in people who come to grips with their limits and abilities, and think rationally about them, and people who float through life without giving anything much "deep thought", and instead simply "wing it", and end up (like the author) constantly generalizing and making rationalizations about whatever is currently in front of their nose.

My AT&T fiber is blocking 1.1.1.1, too. But 1.0.0.1 is working.
Its one thing to claim that people are "unaware of their own motivations" and quite another thing to claim, as this author does, that those motivations don't actually exist.

IRC! It's the best system I've tried to get "social" interactions.

It's fast, text-based and the channel I'm on is populated by cool guys doing original pieces of programming (a weblink for the curious: https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.rizon.net?channels=#/g/dpt).
That sounds really interesting!

One question though: Did your app not need to propagate changes back to theirs? Like, say a customer moved from Canada to the USA and now you no longer needed to apply HST. How did you handle data going back the other way? Aren't you risking getting out of sync if the data is a two way propagation?
It seems precisely as easy to make sure you've deleted every copy of the data as it is to make sure you've encrypted every copy of the data.
It’s not like I’d be running everything over Tor. DNS requests for newly‐visited domains would slow down, but unbound’s prefetch feature would keep popular frequently‐used domains cached. Adding one of those advertising domain blacklists might help performance too.

The point would be to keep Cloudflare from being able to track my DNS requests.
> Worth noting they have already edited the article (less than 2hours later) and taken out the "We will never log your IP" bit...

> "We committed to never writing the querying IP addresses to disk ..."

A DNS resolver does need to record the querying IP for at least a few moments because, you know, they have to respond to your query.

However, I don't know why they changed that sentence; it could be for other reasons too.
I agree that a non-Google public resolver, which comes with guarantees about how they'll use your data, is a good thing.

I'm taking exception with Cloudflare's announcement, which makes a pitch to end users that CF can protect your domain history from ISP snooping, then links to a two-minute setup guide for people with "no technical skill". They really can't protect your domain history, and I feel bad for people using this service who have been led to believe otherwise.

AFAIK there is nothing in the TLS 1.3 draft [1] about SNI encryption. There are other draft proposals for SNI encryption that build on top of TLS 1.3 [2]. It's a hard problem and there are no deployed solutions I'm aware of.

Perhaps with a worse conviction rate of the reports or by catching fewer cheaters. One major part of what makes this successful is that the reports by VACnet are high-quality and very often lead to convictions (i.e. they're not false positives). This keeps the humans who're actually judging engaged. From experience I found Overwatch fairly tedious if there's nothing fishy going on at all for ten cases or so, so participation rate has dropped over time.
Why not? (An API is an API, no matter how many functions.)

From my vantage point, 1.1.1.1 is inaccessible, while 1.0.0.1 seems to work just fine.

EDIT: I have AT&T-provided CPE that I have to use due to 802.1X. If I log into the device (over HTTP) and use the built-in (web-based) diagnostics tools, I am able to successfully ping 1.1.1.1 from the device itself:

ping successful: icmp seq:0, time=2.364 ms
ping successful: icmp seq:1, time=1.085 ms
ping successful: icmp seq:2, time=1.160 ms
ping successful: icmp seq:3, time=1.245 ms
ping successful: icmp seq:4, time=0.739 ms

These RTTs are way too low, however. The RTT for a ping to the CPE's next-hop/default gateway comes in at, minimum, ~20 ms.

When pinging 1.1.1.1 from my (pfSense-based) router sitting directly behind the modem, however, no replies come back from the modem to the router (confirmed via pcap on the upstream-facing interface).

Thus, it looks like this is an issue with the AT&T CPE (5268AC).
If our culture didn't promote narcissistic/solipsism as much as it does, above all others, perhaps these execs wouldn't be so inclined.

Yes, its an ethics issue. I don't disagree that Facebook have stepped over the line. But we have to face the truth of the matter, which is that our society encouraged them to do so - and allowed it to happen - and is continuing the slide down the slippery slope towards totalitarian oblivion. Facebook isn't going to fix that for us, nor would it be fixed if we nuked the Facebook campus from orbit, to be sure.

Which is why I think there has to be an ethical, and technological means perhaps, by which we can enact the social change required to bring us out of this conundrum. Just the way that social change was brought about by culture revolution, itself the product of some small incident perhaps, we have to find that means. I don't know what it is, but I start now to think of what a 'decent' social network would be like .. don't you?
I've often thought that this sort of thing would be great for user interface design. "Recursive drawing" in combination with a CAD style constraint system would be really cool to see. My preferred name for such a system would be "inductive constraint layout".

I get the idea that most pen testers are entry-level and spend their time doing standard scanning and looking for standardized types of vulnerabilities using pre-built tools and techniques. The ones who can build those tools and come up with novel attacks against well-protected targets are the top of the heap.

What is probably scary is just how many commercial sites can be compromised by those standard well-known techniques.
> since to a first approximation, zero consumers take advantage of data privacy laws.

That's where that nice multiplier of 250,000 gets going. See, even if to a first approximation zero consumers take advantage of these laws if it turns out that 'approximately zero' out of 100 million is say 10,000 you're still fucked if you decide to play dumb.

I don't consider my Kindle Paperwhite as an always-on tracking-my-reading device, I consider it as an e-ink screen that I can transfer my books to via USB.

I still buy books from Amazon, but that's because I know how to de-DRM them, which is something I don't know how to do with books from... for example, Microsoft Store, or Google Play Books.

I don't own a smart TV because I don't need a TV at all, I need a screen to plug an HDMI cable into.

I don't own Alexa / Google Home because fuck that.

I've refused to own a smartphone until August 2016.

It's worth pointing out that KPMG was Wells Fargo's independent auditor while the bank recently committed fraud on a massive scale by creating more than a million fake deposit accounts and 560,000 credit card applications for customers without their knowledge or approval.[1]

Calling KPMG a "well-respected auditing firm" when they failed to detect over a million fake bank accounts is a joke.

I'm fine with nitpicking. Let me try and be clear: We're not logging IPs. We inherently receive them when they connect to the service, but we don't write them to disk and flush them quickly (i.e., seconds or minutes). We're not logging hashes of IPs. We're not logging ASNs of the IPs connecting to the service. We do log the other parts of a DNS query in order to help prevent abuse and debug issues. However, we've committed to wiping these logs within 24 hours. We have no interest in doing anything to deanonymize users. We have a great business based in large part around making the Internet more private and secure. Logically: we would never sacrifice that great business to get into a crappy data sharing service.
