> SSL is not mandatory on either port 25 or 587, and can not be made mandatory if you follow the RFCs.

I'm well-aware of the RFC difficulty, but I don't think that the current approach of STARTTLS Everywhere is really a problem because it's effectively opt-in on both ends. The enforcement is requested by the receiving side and then implemented by the sending side.

* The receiving MTA has to proactively choose to be listed.

* The sending MTA has to proactively choose to make use of the list.

So, with the current version of STARTTLS Everywhere, only sites that deliberately choose to enforce STARTTLS will do so, and they will only do it when communicating with sites that have specifically asked them to enforce it! This would only be an RFC violation if we thought that the RFC meant to categorically forbid sites from separately agreeing to a stricter security policy.

This approach might have its scalability limitations, but I won't try to speak for my colleagues about any future steps.

I guess it doesn't have to be a React component, you are right. But just by doing so you get a lot of things for free and makes it easier for people to start using it, like, you just install it, require it, and you are good to go... that was the motivation beyond using React for it
Charitably, this viewpoint misses a great deal of history. Less charitably, it also misses a great deal of what's actually going on right here right now. Poor defendants plea out. Rich defendants don't get charged, because prosecutors know they can afford to go to trial.

100% agree. The US is effectively a "two-speed" or maybe even "three-speed" nation, where the top tier (business owners and white collar workers) is never really hard up for anything, the middle tier is living ok but is precariously employed, and everyone else is effectively living in some kind of consumerist Somalia.

I've seen them basically emotionally destroy people when they were probably not the right tool.

Yeah, it's a silly game where everyone has to pretend there's a chance you can "succeed". When in reality it's "rather than firing you and dealing with severance and lawsuits, we'll keep paying you for a few months while you find a new job, and then we'll agree that you voluntarily resigned". An employee who doesn't realize that is going to have a bad time, and would in fact be better off fired.
I fully agree. It will not achieve anything. FYI, "SMTP Require TLS" was running on port 465 many years ago.

With many ISPs (and even some VPS) now blocking port 25, it could have been an opportunity to migrate naturally towards the "new" unencumbered port.

> If mining is profitable, as miners claim, we have to add another condition: the net present value of the profits that could be obtained from compromising or sabotaging the network would need to exceed the net present value of the profits that could be obtained in perpetuity from behaving honestly.

This is really why I don't think that 51% attacks are a problem for Bitcoin (and only Bitcoin). As soon as one is shown, the network's value will be destroyed. And if you're already on the gravy train through cheap power and cheap asics, why would you give that up?
I agree with you, STARTTLS Everywhere is not "a problem". It is not a solution either - at best a minor improvement.

The problem is not the MTA who will chose to be listed, but those who won't be listed - the immense majority. "Scalability limitation" is certainly a more polite way to say that.

I'm sorry if my message was too blunt, but I am not sure it was worth downvoting my technical explanation just for this.

> Docker wins because it's easy to use.

> The author misses that completely.

That's inconsistent with what the article says right in the introductory paragraph:

> Docker is genuinely more complex and harder to use than the alternatives.

> I'm recommending them because they are simpler to learn and use.

You may disagree with their relative ease, but it's disingenuous to say that the author misses that.

> You'll come up with your own unique solution to most problems addressed by docker.

"Unique" is a pretty extraordinary claim, considering the author is advocating using pre-existing tools and facilities. Replacing AUFS with Btrfs is a far cry from writing ones own filesystem entirely.

> I login into a server managed by this author, curse him for using all those "standard" techniques in his own unique way. Spend hours figuring out the details.

They're not "standard" (with quotes). They're standard (without quotes). They have man pages. They're well-documented and (one would hope, if Docker makes heavy use of some of them) well-understood. Again, just because he didn't use them in the Docker way, doesn't make that way unique. Chances are, if it takes you hours to figure it out, especially if you already know what and how Docker does it, you're doing something woefully wrong.

> I login into a server running things with docker: I already know all I need

I could make exactly the same statement with the situations reversed, except with the addition that I now have to learn this "docker" tool with its added complexity and new syntax to make sure I don't break anything in case I have to make a change.

Already knowing a tool fails to address the author's point.

If you buy something at a counter, there is no social expectation that you tip (bartenders are the sole exception, but just give them a dollar not a percentage.)

Branding is powerful but it cuts both ways ... it will only take one high profile failure for that to ruin the brand across every product that has slavishly adopted it. Even here you see it happening - layoffs in one part that got labeled as "Watson" are immediately seen as indicative of a much bigger problem with Watson. That would not have happened if they were independently branded.

When will US cities do the same? Most restaurants offer plastic togo containers, which ends up in the landfill. Some restaurants even use plastic bowls and plates for dine-in customers, arguably so they don’t have to invest in equipment and labor to wash dishes.

With The China recycling ban, this becomes more of a pressing issue. I’m surprised cities aren’t outright banning or imposing a tax on the use of plastics at restaurants.
Perhaps they will start to realise that the problem is the structure of the system and not the teachers.

It also appears the measures for outcomes are test results and graduation, rather than students fully supported in actually pursuing genuine interests. Or just whether the students are happy.

I think this is an interesting unintended side effect of government tariffs and trade policies. Without wanting to get too much into politics of a country where I have no dog in the fight - I suspect this is going to disproportionately effect MAGA hat wearers.

And the article _may_ cover that, but I can't see past the WSJ paywall...)
Imagine if they didn't exist and everyone had to to organise their own security.

In many locations this is effectively the situation. Police show up after crimes are over. Sometimes they help the victims of crime, sometimes they don't. The crimes that police interrupt are largely the victimless ones; after all there is no victim to report the crime so if they want to prosecute they had better catch the accused in the act.

Somebody will say that this only appears to be the case because police have already put lots of criminals in prison. Since there are few criminals remaining, we don't have to worry so much about crimes happening now. I can't agree, at least in USA. Our prison population is 4-5 times what it should be. If they imprison multitudes, they don't get credit for the possibility that some of the imprisoned actually should be imprisoned.

Arguably you'd want the conveyancer anyway to go through the legal concerns, and clearly "blockchain" solutions are not the only possible solutions - simply digitising them and making them available and sensibly organised would be fine.
Regarding why DARPA changed their name, it was because of a change in focus. Originally they were much broader and were also involved with early projects related to space and nuclear test monitoring, among others. Around 1970 ARPA was consolidated and these responsibilities were transferred to other agencies (NASA and NNSA in the cases that I mentioned), with ARPA then focusing mostly on defence related research and becoming DARPA.
