It sounds like either your antivirus or your company is breaking your SSL.

Sure, the manufacturer can install their own app store with those features, but that isn't the point. The point is that an end user can't install a third-party app store with those features,…

Distinguish "perfect" from "better than natural diamonds".

Look at where exactly? The only equivalent to Broadway I know of is London's West End, and they don't have open policies.

Facebook choosing to try to censor something would be more effective at reducing the number of people who ever see it than most countries choosing to try to censor it would be.

More power in terms of ability to censor/effectiveness of censorship.

> nothing to do with gov't policy Not true. If they were allowed to fill their theaters up, they'd probably have reopened already. The business decision to not reopen is because they can&…

The "custom kernel drivers" are the problem. Whatever they are, they should be upstreamed too. Trying to keep a stable ABI just causes problems.

The problem is the second suggestion is politically popular but the first is not, and if you only do the second one, it obviously goes badly.

Because there's going to be long-term harmful effects of the lockdowns too, that will be worse the longer they go on for. The real question is, why do people ignore that while making such a big d…

You make it sound like that's cheap, but it's equivalent to having to replace the router every 3 months.

> Option and Result are Monads. Surely he misses do-notation. That's part of it. Option and Result are concrete instances of Monads. He misses the Monad abstraction.

Do you get CAPTCHAs with Chrome in incognito? It's not fair to compare Firefox in incognito to Chrome with all of your cookies.

Most people want to block annoyances like advertising or tracking without breaking the pages they want to visit. What you're suggesting does the opposite.

> But then we all implement passwords (which is just security by obscurity) No it isn't. Security by obscurity is explicitly keeping things other than passwords and keys secret.

I don't think the whole concept of checked exceptions isn't a mistake, although the way they're implemented certainly is. In my experience, the problems with them almost always stem fro…

> you destroy the console ecosystem by forcing them all to open up Consoles opening up would be a good thing. I'm not sure why you say it would destroy their ecosystem.

My reading of this is that it only affects old, weak cipher suites that don't support forward secrecy, so only hosts that have an insecure configuration anyway are affected by this.

Let me clarify: by "illegal", I meant "illegal in the jurisdiction where it's being hosted", not "illegal anywhere on the planet".

EEVblog did a debunk of this at https://youtu.be/uzV_uzSTCTM Basically, the power density of these are so low that they're useless for most applications. Sure, it might last 28,0…

So like I said, you're mixing them up.

You're mixing up two different things: sites removing illegal content because they're mandated to do so, and sites removing legal content because they choose to do so.

Those aren't open source.

The lack of due process?

Not in the same way the airwaves are. You can run your own network cable but everyone has to share the same limited airwaves.

The movies are probably watermarked, so they'd know who leaked them, and then sue the leakers for all they're worth.
