I'm not certain that this is true.

No American Dictator would just outright ban the internet, no they'd say they were protecting children and blocking terrorists, and require internet providers to block that content.

Anyone arguing that this is censorship would be branded as a supporter of child pornography and terrorists.

A few more steps along that line and what you have is no longer the internet as we know it, but PatriotNet(tm) (insert waving flag, anthem, etc).

Do it enough subtle steps and they'd get away with it without anything more than a few grumpy "libtards" complaining on TV.
Maybe we should consider AWS differently than Google or FB?

"to be Earth’s most customer-centric company, where customers can find and discover anything they might want to buy online, and endeavors to offer its customers the lowest possible prices." - https://www.amazon.jobs/working/working-amazon

"Organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” - https://www.google.com/about/our-company/

"Founded in 2004, Facebook's mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. People use Facebook to stay connected with friends and family, to discover what's going on in the world, and to share and express what matters to them." - https://investor.fb.com/resources/default.aspx

Its interesting how these mission statements present vastly different goals.

At what point is something a public utility? If everyone abandons their servers for cloud providers you are at the whim of the corporate political stance of where your machine is hosted..

"x86 is an architecture hobbled by its legacy ISA, the CPUs are immensely complex VM-like dynamic beasts that hide the real CPU to get performance out of it" is one of those tropes that's inaccurate enough to have a small cottage industry of online pieces explaining the wrong bits. You can probably find highly rated SO answers or HN comments about it.

The long and the short of it is, an x86 cpu is not really VM-like and a JVM is decidedly unCPU like. The analogy only works if you generalize it so much it becomes a uselessly mushy tautology or you ignore basic aspects of how each of these things work.
Don't stop hiking, just don't go more often than you're willing to take adequate precautions. That's probably roughly the point of diminishing returns anyway in terms of utility.

There isn't a monolithic explicit strategy with the word "extinguish" in it. Instead there's a pervasive set of tactics which result in embracing, extending and, when successful, extinguishing open standards and communities.

Gmail is very far away from extinguishing open email, because that's such a huge target, but it certainly managed to make a dent. How many users have forever left the open ecosystem of smtp/imap/pop tools and service providers because of Gmail's growth? If Gmail hypothetically reached the market share necessary to mortally wound that open ecosystem, do we have any doubt that it would eventually do it?

And remember, email is the largest open ecosystem in my list. Where is the fully open alternative to iOS? Answer: it doesn't exist because Android captured all the momentum from the emerging community, and channeled it into a platform that is now closed for all practical purposes. In this case, extinction has already happened.

You can also cite micro communities in United States. For example, college students use Facebook for anything from browsing memes to planning events to subletting their houses for the summer. It’s a pretty convenient ecosystem to tap into considering everybody’s already on Facebook (that was the original target demographic).

A lot of this has to do with languages in no way designed for interoperability. There have been platforms designed for cross-language development.

OpenVMS standardized calling conventions for interoperability. CLR does that at a VM level in low-level way. Ten15 on FLEX machine did it in high-level way. Lots of variants of languages are targeting C, JVM, etc structured in ways that make interoperability easier. Julia making using C and Python code easy is an example. Finally, there's metaprogramming tools that make all the languages DSL's interoperable via core language. Racket, Alan Kay's stuff, and sklogic's tool cone to mind.

The ones having trouble are usually evolved away from cross-language development with a lot of complexity that makes it harder than it already is. Of course they're having to resort to things like ZeroMQ or whatever.

How long have you waited? For a while (After updating to their new IPs and enabling/disabling custom domain) it said it was unavailable, but then after 60-90 minutes both of my repos are now in "Not yet available for your site because the certificate has not finished being issued" state.

I guess I'll have a better idea tomorrow if it worked or not but for now I'm hoping this is just my repos working their way through github's cert queue.

Used iphone for 4-5 years, and switched to Pixel 1.

The PICO-8 is where the current trend for fantasy consoles began. There's a growing number of them (I'm making one myself). They all have slightly different areas of focus.

Some are scripting language based, some emulate CPUs. TIC-80 programs are "64KB of Lua or Moonscript or JavaScript". My own is 8-bit AVR (128k rom, 64k ram). Z80 seems a popular base as well.

Most people don't know what https:// means, and is often confused with http://. Plus, https:// has allowed people to do things like click through certificate warnings, which secure:// should never do. Finally, secure:// should require all standard best practices for the security of web apps, first simply by refusing to render obviously insecure sites, and then by requiring extra parameters.
Thank you for that.

No, I'm not being sarcastic, nor did I suggest that he put his personal fitness above his families functioning.

That said, I wouldn't enter a partnership with someone who did not respect my need for an hour or so of exercise 3-5 days a week and of course I would make the same effort to provide them that time as well, if they wanted it. In fact, I would argue that a persons physical fitness(to a certain level, of course) is crucial to a partnership and a healthy family. Full disclosure: my wife and I don't have kids- but these are my values and I'm proud enough of them to hope to bestow them on my kids if we ever have them.
This must be a function of large numbers such that the sample is close to the expected value.
So if you're throwing grenades and Molotov cocktails over a sovereign border, stand inside a crowd of children so they have to shoot them, too. Am I understanding you correctly?
The load balancers will have to have a public IP address, controlled by Signal, which is trivial to block.

The whole reason this hack works is because CloudFront is the one terminating the TLS connection with a misleading SNI header. Blocking CloudFront means nobody can use CloudFront for any purpose.
Nextdoor’s new For Sale section is the best of these services imo since everyone is address-verified. I get a lot of spam from FB Marketplace but even with the spam, it’s miles better than Craigslist/OfferUp/etc.
I think you're replying to the wrong person here. I absolutely agree with you on this point, and at any rate wasn't at all talking about personal liability when using a debit/bank card vs. a credit card. I was in fact replying to a poster who doesn't use credit cards because they don't like how the CC system is run, which I thought was odd, since the banking system overall is rife with sketchy practices. In other words, if they don't like CCs, then they shouldn't like debit/bank cards either.

Not for much longer :D But seriously, the British government and the various police forces don't have a great track record with regards to privacy (e.g. Investigatory Powers Act), so it's no wonder the ICO is underfunded and has had a very limited mandate.

> Given that things like access history/event logs are important for things like protecting ourselves against potential legal actions, disputed charges and the like, there is no possible way to give an intelligent answer to that.

Audit logs are an interesting example for sure. But that's a bit vague. Maybe somebody somewhere will sue us! Sounds like you need a lawyer regardless, and a competent lawyer should be able to identify a lawful basis with such strong documentation.

The GDPR is maybe a bit heavy-handed compared to a gradual approach, because EU countries have previously had a hard time getting companies to comply with their data protection laws.

HTTPS and SSL certificates are primarily used for encrypting the connection, thus protecting your data from snooping and modification in transit. They are not actually that useful for authenticating identity. Users tend to simply ignore the padlock icon, which is why Chrome is moving away from an affirmative security display model (which users don't pay much attention to) to displaying prominent warnings for insecure or hijacked connections, which users do pay more attention to. SSL certificates' inability to properly authenticate identity is also why many of the largest tech companies in the world do not even bother with EV certificates (e.g. Google, Amazon, and Facebook for starters).

In order to fully establish identity and provide strong authentication, you would need a much stronger centralized system. Additionally, browsers would need to refuse to make connections to endpoints not authenticated through this system, otherwise you'd have the same kind of lackadaisical user response as we see now to the padlock icon. I don't think anyone present here wants anything like that, and I'm sure that if we were proposing such a walled garden vision for the Internet, the responses would rightfully be much more negative. Instead, we just want everyone's connections to be encrypted.

As for some of your other points, having a strong, short, memorable domain name is good for overall Web security and does help cut down on fraudulent apps and the other problems you've identified. To give you one example, I recently saw an ad for an app called "Curb" (it's a yellow tax ride-hailing app). Out of curiosity I wanted to see more information about it, but there was no domain name on the app; it simply said "Download the Curb app". So I searched the app store for "Curb" and there were dozens of apps with that name, many of them clearly imitators. The best "security" measure was trying to remember what the app's icon looked like.

Now imagine that that ad had instead said "Go to curb.app to get our app", and that said site had prominent links to mobile app stores. That's taking advantage of the global uniqueness property of domain names to guarantee that I won't be tricked away by a scammer. "curb.app" is short and memorable, gets users to the right place, and because .app is a fresh namespace, is still available. Good luck getting any domain name close to that good on .com. .com is fully mined out, and any good names that are available are being sold for minimums of tens of thousands of dollars by squatters and resellers.

I'll be talking about these issues and more in depth at I/O, if you'd like to watch/stream it: https://events.google.com/io/schedule/?section=may-8&sid=7ac...

That's not the same. If websites don't implement a cast app themselves, then Chrome will just mirror the tab to the TV. Whereas catt and similar tools will actually direct the chromecast to download the video file directly and play it. This makes a big difference to quality and performance.

They are more likely to oppose encrypted SNI on the grounds it's not really possible.

How do you encrypt SNI for cold start? For a future connection, I could see how, but at that point you may as well simply do a resumption.
They are conceptually very similar and both obviously inspired by the old CHIP-8.

Sorry to be "that guy", but just responding because I was confused by your post and the parent's post, because you are both using "orthogonal" to mean the opposite of what it actually means.

The whole point of the article is that this is largely a myth imposed by the memory model of C and C-like languages. Single-threaded heavily branching workloads would be atrociously slow on modern CPUs, if not for branch prediction (which caused Spectre). On modern processors, you have 180 instructions running in one thread.

The processor is doing an ok job filling these instructions, but a language and compiler can do a much better job. C doesn't collect any information about data dependencies, and instead just pretends all instructions are sequential. Even code which contains tight loops of sequential commands can be optimized, because you have an entire program and operating system running around that sequential code.
