Dns over https would be harder for governments and other middleman to block or intercept, despite it being less efficient. It would look like any other https request. Especially if browsers agreed to universally support it.
A couple of years ago there was a tool built by some Google employee called namebench which benchmarked a couple of DNS servers and helped you to find the best one based on your browser history. Unfortunately, the project seems abandoned:

Using ping to compare the two may introduce a skew based on how the two networks prioritize ICMP.

For example, from my network google is averaging a faster response by ~.5ms

However, if i do DNS lookups against a few major domains, google is actually slower by ~2ms

$ for domain in microsoft.com google.com cloudflare.com facebook.com twitter.com; \
do cloudflare=$(dig @1.1.1.1 ${domain} | awk '/msec/{print $4}'); \
google=$(dig @8.8.8.8 ${domain} | awk '/msec/{print $4}');\
printf "${domain}:\tcloudflare ${cloudflare}ms\tgoogle ${google}ms\n";\
done
microsoft.com:	cloudflare 22ms	google 23ms
google.com:	cloudflare 19ms	google 22ms
cloudflare.com:	cloudflare 19ms	google 23ms
facebook.com:	cloudflare 21ms	google 20ms
twitter.com:	cloudflare 19ms	google 21ms

You'd have to run a bunch of queries to see if there is an actual impact vs. just an outlier (e.g. the first ping response from cloudflare), just wanted to point it out.
Yes, absolutely.

I'm not sure what you meant in point (a) but, of course, DNS cannot be parallelized with HTTP since the browser doesn't know where to connect until DNS completes. Also, DNS requests for subresources can't start until the referring resource has been loaded. So you could easily see a few serialized DNS requests in the long pole for loading a web site.

Also note that the timing above were ping times. An actual DNS query will have to recurse if the result is not cached at the DNS server -- which in these days of 60-second TTLs for is not uncommon. Cloudflare, though, happens to be the authoritative DNS for quite a few web sites, in which case no recursion is necessary.
Bear in mind, they dropped Daily Stormer because they were claiming Cloudflare agreed with their ideology. Which someone in the previous discussion pointed out was a Terms of Service violation.

DNS resolving offers no such terms and no such reason to make such a claim. I don't see that playing here. And bear in mind, when the CEO did it, he wrote about how dangerous it was that companies had that power. I don't feel other companies running other DNS services hold that level of concern or awareness.

When you consider that their "competitor" in the space of free DNS resolvers with easy-to-remember IPs is Google, who recently tried blocking the word "gun" in Google Shopping... it's hard not to see the introduction of a Cloudflare DNS resolver as at least a net positive for resisting censorship. And more options is almost always better.
This is why for those 'special' videos one should always just use a handheld camera and not their cell phone. But the public will never learn.

Btw, I think the thing that makes the meaty part of burgers a bit dodgy is the fact that the meat has been ground up which means that bacteria can grow throughout its bulk at fridge temperature. As opposed to other cuts of meat where such growth is initially confined to the surface. These organisms won't kill you but they do leave inflammatory waste products behind which are bad for the health of the consumer. Same with chopped onion and various other foodstuffs; dunno about mushrooms. Hence supermarket 'ready meals' which have been fridged for 7+ days are best avoided

Astute observation, and the cyclical nature of news reporting makes it even more common.
People who do not read modern research don't realize lots of the things they think are true about the state of research are totally false.

They also think that it's Proof of Work that provides a lack of trust. While that's involved, what's actually more meaningful is the demand to quickly select a "profitable" branch to mine and re-mine on. That can exist in PoS as well.
Emphasis on tasty! The savory “umami” nature of mushrooms complements and enhances meat wonderfully. I’ve blitzed up some dried mushrooms in a blender and mixed it into panko breadcrumbs, and it works like MSG only better. Mushrooms are basically culinary magic, and criminally underused (other than as you say, those nasty white ones) in this country.

No really, I love mushrooms.

Nope, certificates can be, and sometimes are, issued for plain IP addresses, yes including in the Web PKI ("proper" certificates that work in common web browsers).

Because the BRs say that the subject Common Name, if present (which it usually will be for really crappy software that still doesn't implement standards from _last god-damn century_) must be chosen from the list of SANs, these certificates will have an IP address as their CN, plus an ipAddress SAN.

Here is an example, which my records say had an IP address as its only name, but at time of writing crt.sh is timing out for me so forgive me if this some completely unrelated cert and I've pasted the wrong one:

I haven't used many smart tvs but I find the software to feel lower quality than a dedicated game console or box.

Kinda feel like they are building in smart TV features just to say "me to". Plus some of the blu-ray players that came with Netflix and stuff aren't being updated anymore and then when the APIs are deprecated at some point. So then you have these boxes lose their originally functionality other than just playing disks.

Seems like displays last longer than the software.

> But it's negatively correlated.

Negatively correlated? We'd need hard and reliable data to compare and make proper judgment here, and it is going to be difficult since almost everyone involved is not neutral.

The problem is that as humans, we tend to believe that the ones who support different parties/ideologies have low IQ compared to our own parties/ideologies.

It is far from being obvious because intelligence and education is usually widespread among various groups and currents of thoughts.

As individuals it is actually very dangerous to think in this way, because it leads us to underestimate our adversaries wherever they are.
No. It's obvious and unambiguous from the inside. It's not necessarily so from the outside. We deal with these kinds of things in the courts, all the time, but that's an obviously untenable proposition for Craigslist.

Don't get me wrong, refined carbs (sugars) are certainly bad for you, and the patty/bun comparison depends a lot on the amount of added sugar, which has been growing for decades.

But there has been a tendency to demonize all carbs, just like there was demonization of fats in earlier decades. Both are wrong.

And no, I don't believe the "inflammatory waste products" theory, that's only one step removed from detox nonsense.

This is super exciting -- Public DNS space frankly needs more entrants.

I've been a long time user of OpenDNS's public DNS service (and have come to adore it greatly). Other recent new entrant to this space worth mentioning includes Global Cyber Alliance's [0] Quad9 DNS service, launched in Q4 2017.

This to me looks like a good move by Cloudflare, business model wise, given the increasing awareness among general public to the dangers of privacy breaches -- aside from the supposed boost in network speed piggybacking off of Cloudflare's extensive server farm network [1].

Whether the service delivers on it's bold claims, however, is to be seen. I'm going to go give this a shot now.

> The claims made in the article about the supposed fussiness of mushrooms does not fit with my experience.

Growing mushrooms indoors on a commercial scale is very different than order an oyster kit or having a couple shiitake logs in your backyard. IMHO the mushroom that pairs best with beef is ishnoderma resinosum, and I'm not sure anyone even knows how to cultivate that.

this story will evolve as the http ecosystem evolves - but that's part of the point.

wrt coalescing/origin/secondary-certificates its a powerful notion to consider your recursive resolver's ability to serve other http traffic on the same connection. That has implications for anti-censorship and traffic analysis.

Additionally the ability to push DNS information that it anticipates you will need outside the real time moment of an additional record has some interesting properties.

DoH right now is limited to the recursive resolver case. But it does lay the groundwork for other http servers being able to publish some DNS information - that's something that needs some deep security based thinking before it can be allowed, but this is a step towards being compatible with that design.

wrt caching - some apps might want a custom dns cache (as firefox does), but some may simply use an existing http cache for that purpose without having to invent a dns cache. leveraging code is good. There are lots of other little things like that which http brings for free - media type negotiation, proxying, authentication, etc..
I've had the Nvidia Shield for a couple years now, and highly recommend it. It's a bit expensive if you're not using it for gaming or Plex server (I'm not) but I find it worth it because it's reliable, still gets updated, and generally "just works". It's literally the only content used for my TV now: Netflix, Plex, YouTube, weather, Tinycam (baby monitor), Google Music, and I can also cast from a phone/computer/etc without changing inputs.

The timing on this documentary is quite off. Though it’s worth mentioning how China has seemingly hustled the West particularly the U.S. on a bigger scale. They have not only usurped the already dwindling middle class but are in the process of destroying the education system wholesale. And I am not just talking about undergraduate and graduate schools. This is happening in K-12. US is effectively using tax dollars to educate millions of Chinese. The only benefit I see is the asset bubbles, namely the housing market, that will help the forthcoming demographic offset (baby boomer retirements).
I think the author of the article has got either his numbers or the metric units quite wrong.

100,000 GWh = 100,000,000,000,000 (giga => x 10^9) which means it's actually the 100 trillionth unit.

And he repeats the mistake when saying "...and one hundred thousand million units of electricity has eleven zeros" - indeed it does but then 100000 million units is not 100000 G units.

EDIT: Actually I'm the one who got it wrong. Apparently, electrical "unit" here is kWh not Wh, TIL.

The elephant in the room is not Facebook.

Its the generations of people who have, over the last 10 years, grown up to assume that their personal lives are of interest to others, and wish therefore to capitalize/profit on exposing their life to strangers.

This is going to be a much more difficult precipice to step back from than, say, the rampant piracy of things like Napster, and so on. We'll definitely have to push technology harder and further to establish better ways for these addicts to come down from their highs and return to a more normal level of social interaction - but then again, maybe its too late.

(Upvote me if you agree.)

Seriously though, I believe we have to appeal to one demographic that gets ignored through all of this, thick and thin: parents. Its truly the only way to adjust this cultural liability for future generations - we simply must insist on parental controls over social media from now on.

And, in addition, we have to establish that parents should regulate their kids' use of online/social media tools in such a way that we reduce the devolutionary effect on human interaction that is occurring now.

Perhaps its truly time for a revolutionary new service: FamilyBook. You can only gain access with a birth certificate .. mmm ...
Carbs have been demonized, just like fats used to be, but both are wrong.

Fats are calorie-dense, which is their primary danger (ignoring trans-fats here).

Simple carbs give you plenty of calories too, and basically nothing else.

People are quick to demonize all carbs, but it's only really the simple ones that are dangerous.

Whole carbs are generally fine in moderation, like everything else.

A lot of people are looking for foods they can binge on, with no guilty conscience, but no such food exists. It's not black/white, good/bad.
I've been living in San Francisco for almost six years now, and only recently discovered that people go "mushroom harvesting" (or mushrooming?

More than eating mushrooms, I think we should all spend some time to harvest mushrooms ourselves, assuming we know what we are doing!

A year ago, I started making this prototype: https://www.dearnation.org/ "Dear Nation is a living archive of the letters we write to our nation's leaders." I've been torn about pursuing this concept. I think I'm particularly scared of how messy it is to moderate and foster democracy online. I'm hoping that by working with tools like IPFS it will inspire me to give more free time to ideas like this.
It would be hard to claim to be a dns service which helps protect your privacy while also forwarding your subnet info on to other DNS servers.

Cloudflare has a large number of PoPs and are increasing them rapidly. If the service is distributed to them all than the authoritative server is likely to give a response that is similar to that it would have provided if the subnet had been explicitly provided since the Cloudflare PoP sending the request will be located network wise close to the client that originally made the request. This isn't always going to be true but the slightly higher odds that you will not connect to the optimal location for the service you are connecting to is probably worth the increase in privacy.
>because they were claiming Cloudflare agreed with their ideology.

That was a lie. It was a commenter on an article.
