I think concepts of privacy are changing a lot and what's perceived as youth being cavalier about their privacy is just a reflection of a significantly different perspective.

Mostly I think kids are much more aware (though maybe not in an entirely conscious way) of holding on to several identities of varying degrees of privacy. They're better at segregating their lives into several online identities in addition to the one they physically inhabit at school/work/in public.

Not to say they are always successful at maintaining those boundaries. Really no one could be entirely. But they are much more active about it and it's a big part of their lives.
And I'm sure a lot of people who thought the iphone and the ipad were incredibly stupid also think glass is incredibly stupid. And of course there are people who thought the iphone and ipad would be massive successes who think the same of glass.

Your ability to predict what amount to fashion trends in the future is not particularly related to your ability to do so in the past.

I use different emails, for everything. I manage my own domain(s), so I have anything @mydomain.tld. I'll usually give unique email addresses that identify, to me, the organization or service that gets the address. Occasionally an address becomes the target of spam, and I just kill off that address.

>Don't confuse markets with incentives.
I'm not confusing markets with incentives, I am suggesting that markets are the best known means of finding prices. Forcing capitation reduces the creation of new business models. The model already exists (in insurers like Kaiser that provide their own services), and can be chosen by consumers when appropriate.

>Not mutually exclusive.
Didn't say they were, but you used the word "require", implying there is only one way.

The health care providers of the US do not consist of a monopoly and never have.

>(The healthcare exchanges have introduced competition.)
No, they have reduced competition by declaring that you can only offer one of four products to consumers and by regulating the pricing. In many cases, the exchange features only one product.

>"What subsidies?"
Loans and grants. State funding for private universities hasn't fallen through the floor, yet their tuition continues to rise.

The common thread is that subsidies on the consumer side (in higher ed, healthcare, and home ownership) increase demand and thus increase prices.

>>you seem awfully sure of some counterfactuals"
>You mean reality? I worked in healthcare and now higher ed.
>I'm reasonably sure I know the score."
No, I mean counterfactuals, where you suppose how the world would be different if some set of things that didn't happen did happen. (e.g., if state subsidies for higher ed hadn't fallen over the past 10 years, private tuition costs wouldn't have risen faster than inflation for the past 30 years)

I didn't mean to make a personal comment there, I just tend to fixate on little things like when the confidence level seems to be overstated. Surely these things are rather complex, or they wouldn't be such difficult problems to solve.
Still, does CloudFlare ever receive user cookies, e.g. my Hacker News cookies? A single weak spot in your cert management security practices (or a demand from a government) would compromise all of those thousands of certificates. And if you receive user cookies, then it seems true that anyone who has those certificates can obtain all user data from any of those websites.

I'm confused how it's possible to let anyone sign up for CloudFlare for free within minutes, while also generating a certificate unique to their website, signed by a CA, because a signed CA SSL cert always costs money. For a website like CloudFlare, that would be a significant cost, wouldn't it?

EDIT: I wrote my reply before your edit that gave the answer (yes, CloudFlare has all user cookies from all websites). Sorry.

However:

it's interesting that you bring this up because we are shortly going to announce a new offering where even if the government tried to compel us to give up a private key we would literally be unable to do so.

This would be illegal. The US government has already asserted multiple times that it has the authority to compel any US website to give up any keys it demands. You will suffer the same fate as Lavabit: to be fined >$1k per day until you comply, with penalties increasing until you're unable to cover the cost. So what's your plan?

Those two things are still a tiny fraction of revenue from the main retail store.
I'm not sure how the situation you describe isn't a catch-22.

You state that if CA regulates their factories, for example: requiring that they meet strict pollution standards, they will move. When they move, CA no longer has jurisdiction over the excrement they shoot into the air.

So you state that CA should just not regulate their factories.

This doesn't sound like a solution at all.

>>There will come a day though, when only a tiny fraction of the population will be "neccessary" to create what the world produces. It will be interesting to see how society realigns itself and evolves when so few people need to do traditional (economic) work.

We are already there, and we seem to be doing just fine. I guess only ~3% of US population today works in farms compared to >70% a century back. The only thing is work keeps changing. People have better things to work on. That has always been the trend since mankind even existed.

If the effort required to produce something goes down, prices too go down significantly.
I have the memory of a goldfish. Helping me log key things (goals, personal interests, motivators) for easy reference would be a big help. Then, giving me reminders for things that are easy to forget like team member birthdays, work anniversaries and checking in to see if I helped a team member with their personal goals in the last month would all be helpful for me. Right now I hack it with a spreadsheet and google calendar, but it's more work and much less organized than it could be.

I hope to validate if that's just me or others similarly could use help holding onto that information and providing timely reminders. I have found it's little things like what I listed above that has greatly improved motivation and morale for the handful of teams I have worked with.

Well, yeah -- I said "greatly mitigated".

I can't think of the last time I was completely cut off from both phone and email for more than 3 days. Can you? I travel around the world regularly enough (I was in Malaysia in November; I'll be in Rwanda in March), but never with breaks in connectivity lasting more than 3 days.

I don't go wandering into the wilderness for more than a day trip, admittedly... but I'm also pretty sure most other people don't do that regularly, either.
Nope. You can boot Android using a mainline kernel, but there's a lot of stuff that's missing/broken. Like power management.

The Android Mainlining project continues to trudge onward, it's not complete. There's a decent chunk of stuff sitting in staging as well that hasn't been accepted by mainline, but still more that hasn't even gotten to staging. There's also a few things where mainline rejected Google's version and provided an alternative, but Android was never changed to use the new thing (Alarms/Timers fall into this case)
I believe the argument the parent was making has to do with too strict controls. For instance, regulation of release of particle X can be 0%, limited to 25%, or 50%. CA regulates it at 50% so everyone moves to a 0% region. CA would have been better off if they regulated at the 25% and had them stay in CA.

Yes, cookies enter CloudFlare's network. They have to, but they are not stored or logged in any way. In fact, the entire HTTP/HTTPS request is processed in RAM without any permanent storage and only for the life of the request (i.e. for the time it takes to forward it).

One nuance to what you've written: we don't 'have' the user cookies, they pass through us as the request is forwarded on. They are not stored, period.

it's interesting that you bring this up because we are shortly going to announce a new offering where even if the government tried to compel us to give up a private key we would literally be unable to do so.

This would be illegal. The US government has already asserted multiple times that it has the authority to compel any US website to give up any keys it demands.

We can't be compelled to give up something we don't have.

We won't have the private key, it will be retained by the web site owner and will not be present on our systems. In fact, we will never have seen the private key at all.

And don't worry about pestering me about CloudFlare and security. These questions and problems are things that we think about every day. We (and I) worry about which ciphers to use for TLS connections, the best way to secure our internal secrets, 2FA, how we ensure that the code running on our machines is our code and on and on.

Natural gas is perhaps 80% +- 15% methane. The rest is a variety of gasses, some of which constitute useful fuels in themselves, like propane and butane: these may be incorporated into the finished product (which is why we don't sell it as "methane"), or fractionated out.

Historically, one saw 'stranded natural gas' flared from oil wells that produced too little natural gas or were in too remote a place to make a pipeline economical. Compressed natural gas is so low-energy-density that it's rarely economical to transport it outside the context of a pipeline - though this has changed in the last few decades with the adoption of liquified natural gas tanker ships and terminals to serve them; Still, the percentage of the value consumed by transportation is an order of magnitude higher than for oil tankers.

Damn... I might lose my account for deleting that comment (I promised the mods I wouldn't ever delete a comment that had a reply, since I did that way too excessively in the past). I deleted it because you'd already answered my question in a separate reply. Whoops. I hope they understand.

Anyway, how can you generate HTTPS traffic without the private key? That seems to make no sense on a technical level. Really cool concept if that's possible.
Any media is as durable as the availability of media reader. I seriously doubt, in 15-20 or 50 years, you will have the media reader available to read either of the media, whether tape or BD.

How many 8" or 5.25" floppy disk drives are around today and usable with current server hardware? Anyone who is considering cold storage on media for more than 10 years lifespan is fooling themselves.

A few years ago I had a customer who had to perform data migration from DLT to LTO-3. That was over 24 month project and customer begging the vendor to provide a few old DLT drives to read. On top of that the provided DLT drives were so finicky communicating with modern server hardware that they barely kept up for a few hours before going offline.
I'll answer your question on HTTPS in a couple of months with a blog post and an open source implementation. Sorry to be cryptic but we are beta-testing right now with folks and I can't go into more detail even though I'm itching to flip the switch on Github that changes the repo from private to public.
Alternate theory: this is samsung throwing their weight around. Google purchased Moto because they wanted to get into the devices business, Samsung tells google to get rid of it or else they will continue to diverge their ~70% of the android market away from google's version of android.

Google clearly wants to be a hardware manufacturer: they've been circling the market for a while now, trying different things: they bought moto, they bought nest, they keep doing nexus devices, glass, the ever-growing lineup of google play editions, chromebooks... I don't think they bought moto just to be a bully, or just for the patents.

How much more mature should a company become that owns IBMs hardware business and one of the oldest and the most renowned mobile companys. How much more mature as "largest telecommunications equipment maker in the world" (which is Huawei)?

A US company will never buy such a company. What happened in the past was them creating Joint Ventures with western companys or buying them straight away to get into other markets.

It's just too much of chinas next step after manufacturing the low cost goods of the world, to create the high-tech as well. And of course to sell it to you and me. And that's politics as much as economics.

The training companies provide are nothing extraordinary. Usually few days of managerial training spread over few months on what you can and cannot say/question employees i.e. religion, race etc. and few other tidbits on general managerial operations. If your boss is too lazy to send you to one your HR must. It is their obligation.

However that is not the crust of being a good manager. Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and having Empathy is. Realizing that every person is an individual and as such should be treated individually. I recommend books by Dr Paul Ekman like Emotions Revealed & on body language by Joe Navarro that will give you a head jump in working with & understanding people.

While this initially struck me as black magic, I think I've figured out how it's possible: I'm guessing that you somehow take advantage of perfect forward secrecy. PFS works by constantly "cycling" the encryption key in memory so that each packet is signed by the next iteration of the key, and the previous key is erased. Since SSL has support for PFS, I'm guessing it works like this: You have the website owner store the cert on their servers. Then you issue a request to the website owner, asking them to transmit their initial private key to you. (This would be the most vulnerable part of this new setup, but it could be done reasonably securely.)

Once you receive their private key, you use it to generate HTTPS traffic on the website owner's behalf. And since you're using PFS, then it doesn't matter if anyone obtains that key: every packet you send will cause PFS to cycle the current key (generating a new one) and erase the previous key. Really clever!

It's a little worrisome that CloudFlare will be issuing automated requests to website owners asking them for their initial private key (I'm absolutely certain you're going to do that, because otherwise your proposal is impossible) so I'll be curious to find out what steps you'll take to make it very difficult for an attacker to impersonate CloudFlare and request it, or MITM you and intercept it. But, this is wonderful progress.

Ultimately, that will be the logical response: to MITM you and snag every private key the moment you request it. But at least it'd no longer be possible for a court to demand you give up a static, unchanging key, which is a huge step forward. Plus it might take an unreasonable amount of resources to set up such an MITM attack... but it may become a realistic concern once CloudFlare begins powering most of the internet (which seems likely).

And I just want to say: thank you for working so hard on this problem!
