There are other threat vectors you aren't considering such as DNS cache poisoning, [BGP hijacking][1], and [rogue USB sticks][2].

But even ignoring that, why wouldn't you want to take basic steps to protect against rogue access points or ISPs? "I don't particularly care if people get MITM'ed when visiting my static sites" seems, at least to me, like a rather dismissive attitude towards the security of your site's users.

I'd also like to point out that with the ever-widening deployment of HTTPS the hypothetical attack you described where your ISP MITMS your browser install is becoming less and less feasible. Nearly all modern browsers include a [HSTS preload list][3] which ensures they will never attempt to connect to certain domains over an insecure connection. A browser download site (or even just the user's search engine, which would link directly to the HTTPS-protected download page) being on this list would make the downgrade attack you describe much more difficult.

Will Wild Decentraland Speculation Hurt the Virtual World? The Founder Says No
What about a mesh that is not connected to the internet?

These days, people use the internet like TV or radio: many consume, few produce.

What about a "community" mesh, where e.g. a small town has websites, email, webservices, gaming hosts etc for shops, businesses, sporting, clubs, council, local news and social media for that town?
I'm not sure about the actual search results, but Google certainly has a bias (like most organizations, to be fair).

Example: Last week, the Google doodle celebrated the 107th birthday of Ismat Chughtai, a deceased liberal Muslim Indian female author born in 1911 who wrote about gender equality and class conflict from a Marxist perspective. Her novels and short stories gained niche popularity in world of Urdu literature and in 1976 she won the Padma Shri, India's fourth highest civilian award.

The Google doodle for the little known event called "Easter"? Nothing for the last 18 years. [1] [2]

This is nice indeed.
It's all good to point this out, but it's a social argument, not a technical one. If the technical arguments have been eliminated (e.g. you have no technical use for encrypting the connection) then you're left with "Join us in giving the finger to ISPs/cafe routers that inject foreign JS!" Don't be upset when people say "Meh. Take it up with those ISPs directly, or with web browser vendors, I don't care and don't want to join your crusade." At some point web browsers will stop serving content over HTTP unless perhaps with a custom flag turned on, and even then, some people will still not use HTTPS.

Mine detects pedestrians and cyclists easy enough. This is 2016 Acura sense, with both side and rear sensor packages. There is also the backup camera, which works really well, but I’m generally get the pedestrian warning before they enter my camera or mirror range. I still turn my head while backing up, it’s when I’m changing lanes at speed where the sensors really start to change behavior (where there is a cost to looking back and not forward).

To be more clear and blunt, if your boss gets fired or leaves or if the whole group is fired, you can be on the street, with an advanced education and some recent, specialized experience (that likely didn't make big bucks for all concerned), and 40+ and with a tough time ever again holding a job relevant to your education, experience, interests, capabilities, or potential -- EVER.

My guess is that there are a lot of Ph.D. electronics engineers over 40 who are essentially unemployable at anything close to their past who want an electrician's license so they can install AC wiring in houses.

Maybe the best job they can get is to be a clerk in the electronics department at Wal-Mart.

Imagine, two guys just out of high school. They both mowed lawns as teenagers. Joe wants to continue that as a business, at first still living at home. Tom goes to college, continues, gets an electronics Ph.D., and gets a job in an electronics company.

Then they are both 35: Joe now has five lawn and garden crews, each with a late model, crew cab truck, a $5000 trailer with 4 riding mowers each worth $15,000. He has clients in upper class residential areas and small to medium commercial lots. He does weeding, soil testing, fertilizer applications, mowing, edging, shrubbery trimming, landscaping, etc. Tom's employer has a policy: By age 35, promoted into management or fired. Tom gets fired.

Joe is now much better off than Tom. Tom would do well to look for a job with Joe and rise to managing one of the crews, planning and marketing for higher end parts of the business, etc.

This is not a joke. Besides, it's not funny.

This is actually not true. Smaller cable companies (so anyone smaller than Comcast) traditionally make very little if any profit on cable TV. The entire cost of the cable TV package is made up of the licensing and distribution fees charged by the studios. A (will remain) unnamed provider in the northeast region actually looses money per cable TV subscriber so they can stay competitive against Comcast. They're very excited for the day they can drop their Cable TV packages entirely and solely become a pipe.
Lawyers have higher average salaries in the US, though there are plenty of lawyers in the US who don't make all that much.

German billing requirements are often lower. My personal experience was 1150 in Germany and 1650 in the US, while my spouse's was 1300 in Germany and 1900 in the US.

If you factor a 1900 hour billing req at $120,000 (new lawyer at a bigger firm or experienced at a smaller firm) with a $20,000 bonus in the US going to maybe an in-house company position for $85,000 (US) and 1300 hours with little or no bonus and maybe 10-15% higher tax rate, then it can sure seem like a 2x or 3x pay cut.

But the quality of life is much different.

I know plenty of US lawyers who earn 6 figures but work the equivalent of more than 2 full time jobs' worth of hours to do it.

My spouse and I are planning to move back to Germany within about 6 months. We each have jobs as lawyers lined up (one definite, one tentative), and we will be taking nowhere near a 2x to 3x pay cut even factoring taxes. Based on changes in the US tax code, I am not even sure that my spouse's salary overall will be less there than here. Mine, I think, will be, but that's partly because of circumstances.

So, I'm not saying you're wrong, by any means, but to take a 2x to 3x pay cut moving from the US to Germany working as a lawyer seems to me like there's more involved than only taxes.

An interesting idea. Part of me thinks this may be potentially useful in causing change, depending on the projects that adapted it.

Another part of me dislikes bringing politics directly into software. What offends people varies from person to person and imagining every FOSS project having a different, and constantly changing exception list gives me a headache. This seems somewhat antithetical to at least certain aspects of open source

Wow, your reading comprehension skills need serious work.

First, Waymo cars have trouble making turns. They also wander between lanes. This is well documented by the article you obviously didn't read.

In my comment, I was complaining about other reckless and impatient drivers overreacting to Waymo cars and how that causes dangerous traffic that my kid has to navigate through. I've personally witnessed Waymo cars causing stackups behind them, and near miss accidents as drivers try to get by.

You've apparently never taught anyone how to drive. Staying with the flow of traffic (within reason, Mr. Pedantic) is the safest way to stay out of an accident.

> Your first point is simply not true.

My first point is what the insurance company is saying. It's absolutely true that they are saying that. (It's also a true claim; your argument that all provider networks are limited such that the risk of similar problems exists at some level in all insurance plans is perhaps pedantically true, but not necessarily relevant—e.g., it may be that the only reason the care from the profile provider in this particular case was out of network was that the district's individually negotiated narrow network plan excluded providers that would have been included in standard plans this insurer offered in the area.)

> Not to mention that almost everyone is stuck with the plans their employers choose.

That's factually false; only 49% of Americans are covered by insurance provided by an employer (either their own or as a dependent) health insurance, and not all of them have no other practical option than that plan, so, no “almost everyone” is not stuck with their employer's plan choices.

But, in any case, the employer's plan choice is exactly what the insurance company is highlighting as the issue in this case.
It's an every-field-centric viewpoint. Every field that creates something is more efficient with a keyboard. You even just supported this point yourself.
That’s true..but Haskell has bottom and Scala has bottom + instanceOf checks and JVM reflection as well. And they clearly have usable parametric polymorphism despite things being “broken.”

Saying Java doesn’t have parametric polymorphism because you can cheat is like saying Haskell isn’t pure because of unsafePerformIO.

Where and when are you looking? That's more or less how I look biking past Portola Valley on the weekends (on the rare occasions I get out anymore). But on the weekdays during commute hours, you'll find me on the Stevens Creek trail or Mountain View's bicycle boulevard instead, wearing normal work clothes, biking more slowly, and pulling a two-kid trailer. Most cyclists I see there don't look anything like what you're describing.
Contrary to the seemingly popular belief, that their success was due to their algorithm, I used them because of their uncluttered and simple design.

That's why I used Altavista before that. Google kept things very simple while other sites loaded on the bloat and garbage.

I don't remember ever feeling like what I found with Google couldn't be found with Altavista or lycos. But a lot of the other companies tried to prematurely monetize to an excessive degree.
I don't get what this is supposed to accomplish. The license doesn't specify that Walmart can't use the software. It grants everyone except Walmart, Microsoft, etc, the following rights:

> to deal
in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights
to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell
copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is
furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:

> The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all
copies or substantial portions of the Software.

Those are the entire conditions to which a grant of rights is subject.

So, while Walmart doesn't get to use this license directly, anyone who isn't on the list is free to copy the software, redistribute it to Walmart for any or no charge, and to themselves permit Walmart to deal in the software without restriction, including by using it, copying it, selling it, or anything else.

What rights exactly has Walmart lost here? Does this differ in any tangible way from the standard MIT license?

Jamie's put up a disclaimer saying "I don't care if this is not 'open source', it's the right thing for me to do." But this is just as open as it was before. I'll grant permission right here for Microsoft, Palantir, Amazon, Northeastern University, Ernst & Young, Thomson Reuters, Motorola, Deloitte, Johns Hopkins, Dell, Xerox, Canon, Vermont State College, Charter Communications, Spectrum, Time Warner Cable, LinkedIn, UPS, Walmart, Sears, Apple, Tyson Foods, Target, Tesla, and the H&M group to use the software without restriction.

producer ≠ developer.

I'm a producer. I produce short film and music, amongst others.

I'm also a developer. I use xCode, Dreamweaver, and Unity to develop applications and games.

Developing - that's what computers are still for. And devs know that.

Developing on-device will come, in time. I, for one, don't have a problem with needing an extra dev machine, specifically for the purpose. I understand this represents a financial burden for some, especially considering the cost of a new MacBook. I'm fortunate enough to have had a Mac by my side since I was 14, and I'm 29 now, which means more than half my life. So for me, already a Mac user, the iOS dev ecosystem was actually a blessing. I understand, however, I am obviously an outlier in that set of data.

This makes sense. They should add a NN feature called farm priority ranked from 1 to 5 (similar to the one humans use) with 1 being carry, 5 being support, and each taking progressively less farm and lower priority taking Aegis. They could start out with this feature randomized at first, and see whether the same heroes humans prioritize farm on get prioritized by the AI.

For context, jamebuilds is the maintainer or contributor of many javascript libraries like Lerna, Babel, and Yarn. He recently tweeted [1] that he would go to war with Palantir for collaboration with ICE. He opened several issues with Palantir's blueprint which uses Lerna [2]. He then opened a PR to change Lerna's license with the MIT license (with persional exceptions) [3] where it was merged after the original author agreed since jamebuilds is one of the primary maintainers now. Palantir did respond in one of the issues [4] where they clarified they work with HSI and would be open to meeting in person but it did not seem to change jamebuild's opinion.

ARP poisoning is just an example of a very simple and easy attack that can affect anyone that ever uses a public hotspot - on a cafe, university, workplace, etc.

Another possibility - compromising home routers: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/05/hacke...

Other possible attacks would be to compromise an internal router at an office (affecting everyone up to the CEO), controlling a VPN or Tor exit node, etc.

None of these give you the possibility of creating your own cert, but they do give you enough MITM access to fully compromise an HTTP site.

Since ARP is only layer 3 it really doesn't care if the page is sent via HTTPS and works the same either way.

The attack works in the sense that the traffic starts flowing through the attacker's machine, but the attacker is still prevented from changing anything in the page. That's the whole point of SSL/TLS.

Don't need to be "crippled." Simply a shot of adrenaline is enough to shut down most higher-level thinking. At that point the candidate is just pulling things from memory at random hoping they fit.

> remarkably inefficient solutions

The first one usually is. As the problem gets clearer, better solutions become obvious. That takes relaxation and calm thought however, e.g. Archimedes in the bathtub.

> I don’t think…exponentially less efficient

Doesn't need to be a large difference. With multiple candidates, even 10% is decisive.

There's also the psychological factor of knowing something makes the "knower" think it's easy while the others believe it's hard.
