> you're being foolishly contrarian instead of trying to understand what the original commenter's actual situation is

Perhaps because he's describing 2 different situations. One where "some schools" are removing Firefox, and one where it's not an option for him because of BYOD. Uninstalling Firefox is exactly the solution he can't apply. So I still maintain that the other schools that fully control the clients could have applied a proper fix faster and cheaper than any uninstall. It's one line in a config file [0], already linked above.

All your replies are gratuitously aggressive and insulting. That's not a good way to contradict my solution that works, is simpler and more future proof than uninstalling browsers with DOH.

Eventually all browsers will have DOH, you can't uninstall them all. And leaving a browser unmanaged and at the mercy of a student is not an option since requiring 2 extra clicks to bypass the filtering isn't a solution. You need some form of management either way.

I already gave you a solution that's better than removing the browser and "cheaper" than having to manage Chrome with GPOs (not a high bar). Insults won't change that.

It struck me today: are URLs the only kind of "viral" anybody considers to be good? I'm not talking about dormant viruses or symbiotes or whatever, but viruses in general seem to generally have been a problem for humans throughout history (or at least since their discovery).
I do not understand why for over a decade Google resists implementing end-to-end encryption in Gmail.

For example, it would help with "man-in-the-middle" attacks they are citing as motivation from MTA-STS.
It's probably a bit too early to say because e.g the magnetic field data that was also collected hasn't even been scrutinized yet. This will also almost for sure lend a better understanding of the relativistic jets, in order to hopefully one day tell why they are this way or another depending on the particular black hole rather than just "they are somehow often there".

It's still very early and like the detection of gravitational waves, I think it feels like more of a symbolic step into a new era of space science. It's easy to forget that yesterday, black holes were a result of mathematics and only indirectly shown that they "ought to exist".

So first, I think we need to cut them some slack! Second, I think that if we at all WANT to shatter the Standard Model, I think we first need to be able to do science at the extremes of it! The LHC is one way, probing into the details of black hole mechanics might end up being another

We have had a similar protocol for TOFU on the web for a very long time called HTTP Public Key Pinning, and it did nothing to deprecate PKI. It is a bit telling that google actually removed HTTP Public Key Pinning in 2017 from chrome.

I can't speculate if DNSSEC can continue grow or will fall in use in some unspecified future, but I suspect that a TOFU version of key pinning for email server won't be the death knell. If it work it is because the wast majority of email traffic is located in basically a handful of companies, which is why the wast majority of domain owners won't notice a difference. I would assume Microsoft already pins the certificate of Google servers and vice verse.

>That could mean primitive human relatives left Africa and made it all the way to South-East Asia, something not previously thought possible.

Happy to dig up the source when I get home, but I remember specifically reading a paper not so long ago about a possible alternative to that hypothesis, namely that our current species might have originated out of Asia, not Africa. In which case it might not be so difficult to reconcile these outcomes.

I agree that metering Internet access would cause far-reaching changes but I don't think we can predict what those would be. It could easily make the Internet much worse. And of course everyone hates it: http://www.dtc.umn.edu/~odlyzko/doc/networks.html

We accept metering for electricity and water because human intuitions still apply; this isn't the case for data. Two Web pages that appear similar could have vastly different transfer sizes. I'm reminded of the criticism of Xanadu that said "imagine an odometer that's taking money out of your pocket; now imagine it turning really fast".

Auto CPAPs are fantastic, they're still under-prescribed by doctors however.

Good news is that a lot of patients have figured out you can trivially re-configure a fixed pressure unit to be an Auto CPAP because most CPAPs sold today are both.

The great thing about Auto CPAPs is that they use predictive algorithms to figure out when an Apnoea–Hypopnoea will likely occur, ramp pressure up preemptively, and can sometimes avoid the event entirely.

A recent software update to Respironics/Philips Auto CPAP in particular had people seeing a lower AHI because the machine was making better predictions and stopping events in their tracks. This directly results in better sleep/better compliance.

PS - Obviously don't take medical advice from Hacker News. If you have a high air pressure/a high AHI you may not be suitable for Auto CPAP therapy and could cause harm, talk to your doctor. There's a lot of information/literature out there if you wish to learn more. Right now Auto CPAPs are under-prescribed, but that doesn't mean everyone is a suitable candidate.
There is no reason to believe this small amount of money is the explanation of his position.

If so, I assume the light in the event horizon cover the whole object, i mean 3D shaped as well.

>There is a lot of bad stuff going on all over all the time. Focus is what's important.

I mean starting with people who are in close proximity to you seems like an important thing. Especially given the abundance of food and capital we have? And the fact that our government implicitly relies on voters making informed choices to elect representatives that can then practically the address issues you know/care about?

>Save your outrage for things you have first hand knowledge of or knowledge of through trusted contacts.

I mean, that's what news organizations are. And we even used to have regulations governing them to ensure they could be trusted.

>The world did ok before 24/7 news

Well we're talking about slower news. Not no news. And certainly not 24/7 news. Because this article is about slowing things down. And the world wasn't really okay for the longest time.

All in all your post is "I'm fine, so shit happens." Kind of crappy.
Well we are way OT so I will let you have the last word. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
That reminds me of Eliezer's model of evaporative cooling of beliefs - and, by extension, communities. TL;DR: as trolls, or random chance, slightly lowers the standard of discussion, the first people to get fed up and leave the community are the ones with above-average quality contributions. When they leave, the average quality goes down. The process repeats until the community is garbage.

My org has been using Rocket chat for about a year now, and it's been surprisingly workable. The mobile clients suck and are pretty limited. But the Mongo DB clustering has been suprisingly stable and hands-off. I'm not sure what server requirements you are talking about, but we have a three node cluster where each node has 3vcpus,and 3GB of RAM and we've not experienced any resource problems. The only added complexity beyond the core mongo cluster is we have to sync uploaded files/avatars using lsyncd since we want this service to be up even if our NFS servers are having problems.
Sure. I see how you are using "free speech". I was just objecting to your conceit that this is somehow a new thing which you clearly, with your examples, realize is not true. A misreading on my part I think.
Also surprising is how many of these old systems are hooked up to dial-up modems with ZERO login security. Not even a password.

Some of us have also learned that censorship can mean censorship of pacifist and anti-war speech: https://encyclopedia.1914-1918-online.net/article/censorship...

I'm sure sympathizing or trying to understand a terrorist's motives (perhaps their home country is being occupied by the US?) can fit under the terrorist content umbrella.

Edit: Let's not leave unaddressed the farcical idea that Europe prior to World War I was some bastion of free speech, and that this somehow led to the wars:

MoCA adapters are much more expensive compared to typical Ethernet adapters in general but work in a pinch. I've moved frequently and have lived in older houses so I'm now armed with two different powerline Ethernet adapters, a pair of bonded MoCA 2.0 adapters (one is already included if you have a STB from a cable provider technically but the Ethernet port on it may not be a passthrough or bridge connection), and a Ubiquiti based setup. While the best option outside of direct CAT5+ cabling is the MoCA adapter setup, I'm disappointed that in most older homes with pretty awful wiring I can still only get 600 Mbps maximum. I know it's the house's cabling because in my previous house I used the same adapters and got a clear 850 Mbps for a slightly longer cable distance. Sometimes a signal booster [1] helps but tends to boost the wrong frequencies if you buy the cheaper ones that were meant for older, analog broadcast in a home.

For the record, Gmail already includes an indication for when an email wasn't received (or won't be sent) using TLS:

https://blog.google/products/gmail/making-email-safer-for-yo...

and currently this applies to roughly 5% of emails:

https://transparencyreport.google.com/safer-email/overview

It would be nice to get this number down to zero, across all email providers, perhaps by some combination of harsher warnings in the UI, penalising the deliverability of insecure messages, and even legal action.

In terms of the latter, I note that the EU's recent NIS Directive could potentially lead to such actions being taken:

https://digitalguardian.com/blog/what-nis-directive-definiti...
In situations with notice-and-takedown like this, I always wonder why there aren't stronger protections against abuse. Should a platform or user who had their content ordered removed in error be able to receive damages? Should the lawyers or civil servants instigating these notices be disciplined for issuing erroneous, improper, or overly broad takedown notices be disciplined or blacklisted?
From their website it seems like they perform periodical "action days" where they sit down jointly with different groups and flag content on specific platforms. Might have been one of those.
Wasn’t the problem exactly that the government had too much control over the information flow and the general narrative?
I don't view this as "gate-keeping". Complex organizations (or society at large) can't operate by involving everyone in every decision. That would require massive time investment and sharing of otherwise-confidential information. Ultimately the resources (time/labor/money/etc) diverted to pursuing that degree of inclusivity will reduce competitiveness and progress.

Companies make effective decisions by trusting talented people to own those decisions (through the act of hiring them and assigning responsibility). They might be trusted due to their expertise in a field or experience in an industry or whatever else - but they are the ones who are tasked with taking into consideration multiple competing concerns, determine what serves their customers well, and decide what to do.

What I see here in this letter, and with other examples of employee activism, is that a few employees who don't have visibility into those various complex facets/concerns of a business decision are spinning up the Internet outrage machine based on a single-dimension: that the thing they care about is the only thing that matters, to the exclusion of everything else and everyone else.
I feel the same way about RST; really wanted to like it, fought with it, gave up because Sphinx consistently seems to make simple things hard.

Regarding section titles, I think the theory is it makes it easier to stick new header levels into a document.

(For those who aren't familiar with RST: If it sees underlines like ====, ----, ^^^^ or ~~~~~, it decides what the header levels are based on the order in which it sees them.)

In practice, it means a typo makes it completely ignore your header, you have to learn a set of acceptable characters for headers, and there's no way to start a document with anything less than shouty H1.

Nice idea, though.

> Is there a markup that can do numbered lists?

Correctly and usably? NOPE.
> We have learned through bitter experience that, while free speech is a precious right, it is also an extremely dangerous one in the wrong circumstances. Germans in particular are acutely aware of the disastrous consequences of allowing incitement to go unchallenged.

Have they learnt the right lesson though? What's the alternate history theory here? You toss Hitler in jail after he makes an inflammatory speech to a large crowd, but before he's elected and that prevents WW2?

None of this solves the underlying issue of there being deep political problems in any country that ends up with this kind of leader getting into power. The hope of free speech supposedly being that someone will eventually put their finger on the real cause of the problems and get people on board with it, rather than an unfortunate group being scapegoated.
The EU is a nightmare. Once the UK leaves and people see they are doing better it’s going to start a procession of other countries out the door. Too many regulations and red tape like this make doing business in the EU difficult. I am slightly annoyed every time a cookie banner blocks my view on a website. To think some person in Belgium decided that was a good idea and now everyone online has to deal with it is disturbing.
Or just have a separate instance that automatically forks all pre-approved projects while blocking off the rest, similar to how Google does it.

Honestly I don't see how Github will remain unaffected by the Chinese Government.
Right way, but the problem is that when the shit hits the fan people often forget good advise and the priority is to do cleanup asap. That repeats so often.
Because there is no practical method to do so. Email was never designed to be end-to-end encrypted and implementing end-to-end encryption would mean that everybody must switch to an end-to-end encryption capable protocol.

Google is not resisting, they would implement end-to-end if they could, but they can't.

FWIW: As long as the email does not leave Google (i.e. an email between 2 gmail inboxes) it is actually already encrypted end-to-end (AFIAK).
> It takes some practice, but once you get it your code grows so much better.

It's true. I had a bit of a roundabout journey to getting this idea.

Studying CS, I learned a ton about implementation inheritance, and only a bit about composition - enough to sort of answer a question about it, but not really get the feeling. So overall I didn't use it much.

When I started working, I saw implementation inheritance used a ton and got the impression that it really made things way too complex. There was more to the complexity than just this of course (design patterns everywhere, convoluted abstractions, strange monolith tools, etc) but it didn't help.

Later I started learning about FP, where composition is just second nature, and frankly one of the main methods of abstraction you get. So learning how to compose things came from functions.

Over the past few months I've come back to more OOP, and I've been using composition a whole lot more. And it does make a huge difference, and I don't think I've used any sort of inheritance for my own code at all at this point.

So yeah, I agree and it is a journey.

Who do you treat more favorably, people who just happen to pay you a collective amount of around $200,000 or people that yell at you but otherwise effectively can't do anything to stop or even discourage you? Yeah, I bet ISPs accidentally signed checks to politicians without intending for it to cause them to be treated favorably, just out of the good of their heart.

Dropping the sarcasm now, because it's obnoxious, but honestly, it's silly to pretend nobody knows what's going on here. Frankly though singling out ISPs here is silly, I'm sure most big businesses do exactly this same thing and we all let it happen so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It is much to easy to blame Windows for everything. If this is another TRITON level attack then it did not matter what operating system is used, the attackers would have come in anyway. With enough resources you can break anything.

Check out the DEFCON 2018 talk "Through the Eyes of the Attacker" to see to what lengths the TRITON attackers went. These guys were dumping eeproms from boards running obscure MIPS processors and were looking at raw ethernet packets in Wireshark and flipping bits in the packets to see what would happen. That their command&control was running on Windows was just coincidence.

>And when one says Amazon should get the amazon.com SLD, we are creating a very weird situation where "Amazon.com Inc. P.O. Box 8102. Reno, NV 89507" has cemented itself as the only entity who can encapsulate all commercial activity in the world under the term "Amazon".

Well that's how the domain structure is currently laid out. Someone has to get it. If you're just going to argue that the domain system needs more finesse, just say that. But asking these round about questions is pointless. At some point "amazon" the company gets a domain. right now that's the SLD, as it is for everyone else. ICANN has an appeal system if you think you deserve it more for whatever reason.

>Why is it OK for that to be subsumed by "amazon.com."

Because amazon purchased the domain. The domain points to a specific server. It's not a TLD that acts a registry for other domains. There is a very important difference there. One you don't seem to appreciate.

>If it's ok for a single specific instance of "amazon companies" to get "amazon.com", why is it not ok for a single specific instance of "amazon" to get "amazon." ?

I'm going to stop right here, because you're just arguing that the current domain system is broken. And that's not what we're discussing. I'm not sure what the motivation is for doing that is, but it doesn't belong here.

>Why should only TLDs be for that?

Because that's how categories and taxonomies work. I gave you an example with shapes. Hopefully you understand shapes.
Public funding sources can be tied to students and their success as well. If failing students means lower ratings and enrollment for the school, which in turn means lower funding levels, the school has just as much incentive to keep students advancing.
