Can adblock do 15 things hosts files can for more speed, security, reliability, & more:

1.) Secure you vs. known malicious sites/servers (beyond malicious adbanners - see 2 thru 6 below next)
2.) Secure you vs. downed DNS servers aiding reliability
3.) Secure you vs. DNS redirect poisoned dns servers
4.) Protect you vs. fastflux using botnet attacks and stop their communications back to their C&C servers
5.) Protect you vs. dynamic dns using botnet attacks and stop their communications back to their C&C servers
6.) Protect you vs. domain generation algorithm using botnet attacks and stop their communications back to their C&C servers
7.) Speed you up for websurfing not only by adblocking but also hardcoding favorite sites
8.) Get you past a dnsbl you may not agree with
9.) Keep you off dns request logs
10.) Do all of those things and block ads (better than adblock) more efficiently in cpu cycles and memory usage
11.) Work on ANY webbound application (think stand-alone email programs, for example).
12.) Give you direct, easily notepad/texteditor controlled data for all of the above
13.) Block out trackers
14.) Block spam mails sources
15.) Block phishing mails sources

So, *IF* you feel like doing things LESS efficiently as well -> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... ontop of doing less than hosts do (by far) with more complexity + from a slower mode of operations (usermode with more messagepassing overheads vs. hosts in kernelmode, also starting up w/ the IP stack itself, before REDUNDANT inefficient addons even BEGIN to operate, & as the 1st resolver queried by the OS as well)?

They conveniently leave out the part where most of the "poor workplace environments" and "mistreatment by managers and co-workers" are coming from the OTHER WOMEN. Prime well-known example: Julie Ann Horvath leaving GitHub...primarily because ANOTHER WOMAN harassed her incessantly.

And you "conveniently" left out any actual statistical evidence. And that it wasn't "primarily because another woman harassed her incessantly." You're forgetting the co-worker who professed his undying love for her, even though he knew she was already in a relationship with another employee, and he took her rejection badly - and retaliated.

There was definitely inappropriate behavior - GutHub acknowledges it here. If you've ever worked in a startup, you know how loosey-goosey things can get with the boss's family, since they feel they have tremendous skin in the game, having been there from the beginning, even if not in an official capacity. Even Bill Gates mom, Mary Gates (nee Maxwell), sat in on Microsoft board meetings for years.

But quitting over other women hula-hooping in the office and the guys ogling them doing so? Really?? Everything else she could put up with, but not this???

The final straw for Horvath came when she saw men gawking at women who were hula-hooping at the office. She called the episode “a really ugly and inappropriate scene.” Her words:

Two women, one of whom I work with and adore, and a friend of hers were hula hooping to some music. I didn’t have a problem with this. What I did have a problem with is the line of men sitting on one bench facing the hoopers and gawking at them. It looked like something out of a strip club. When I brought this up to male coworkers, they didn’t see a problem with it. But for me it felt unsafe and to be honest, really embarrassing. That was the moment I decided to finally leave GitHub.

She didn't ask the women how they felt about it - only the men. If they were okay with the men's reactions, where's the beef? Sounds to me like there's a certain immaturity on all sides.

I guess it comes down to how difficult it is to load the stored value card, doesn't it? I view this as tantamount to the amount of cash I'm carrying vs the cash I have in my ATM-linked account. I'm willing to carry several hundred in cash. By the same token, I would be willing to carry several hundred in stored value. More than that and cash gets unwieldy. I blame the government for refusing to issue larger denomination bills despite inflation.

What stored value cards can give you is a way to purchase things anonymouslyespecially online purchases, which is otherwise a nigh-intractable problem. Yes, some places take money orders, but you have to go get one, mail it across the country to the merchant, wait for it to clear due to fraud paranoia, etc. Bitcoin is really a non-starter for commerce, comparatively speaking.

It's generally easier to replace a lost/stolen/destroyed stored value card than it is to try to reassemble fragments of cash. Yes, you should keep your documentation for the card, but we are comparing that to scotch tape + fragments of cash. And this is with *existing* technology, not some purpose-designed reloadable smart card stored value thing.

I think you are strongly underestimating the amount of tracking and profiling that happens when you make purchases using a credit card. I presume you're familiar with Target's "pregnancy detection" profiling that caused an uproar a few years ago. What about Facebook linking the purchases you make in brick & mortar stores to ads they have shown you while you're browsing? Yeah, that one surprised even me: directly linking in-person purchases to online browsing done elsewhere. Grocery stores/Walmart know exactly what you buy when you swipe, and they log all that... I bet a person's alcohol/tobacco purchase profile over the years would be quite valuable data for an insurance company. Furthermore, this kind of "third/fourth party" access is how the government works around a lot of 4th amendment impediments: they just buy the data from a broker when they couldn't constitutionally obtain it otherwise.

Like I said, I use credit cards. Hell, I probably use them for the majority of my purchases. I am just aware of the fact that each time I use one it is adding data to databases that are used to build profiles. And data in databases never dies; perhaps today's "creepy tracking" is fine, but I don't know what kind of innovations they will come up with in the future.

So, I protect my privacy as I deem appropriate through the judicious use of cash or stored value cards. I suppose this is also a matter of perspective: I consider the risk of database purchase profile data to have a larger potential for adverse consequences for me than the risk of losing the amount of cash/stored value I carry.

Can adblock do these 15 things hosts files can for more speed, security, reliability, & more:

1.) Secure you vs. known malicious sites/servers (beyond malicious adbanners - see 2 thru 6 below next)
2.) Secure you vs. downed DNS servers aiding reliability
3.) Secure you vs. DNS redirect poisoned dns servers
4.) Protect you vs. fastflux using botnet attacks and stop their communications back to their C&C servers
5.) Protect you vs. dynamic dns using botnet attacks and stop their communications back to their C&C servers
6.) Protect you vs. domain generation algorithm using botnet attacks and stop their communications back to their C&C servers
7.) Speed you up for websurfing not only by adblocking but also hardcoding favorite sites
8.) Get you past a dnsbl you may not agree with
9.) Keep you off dns request logs
10.) Do all of those things and block ads (better than adblock) more efficiently in cpu cycles and memory usage
11.) Work on ANY webbound application (think stand-alone email programs, for example).
12.) Give you direct, easily notepad/texteditor controlled data for all of the above

1.) Speed (adblock & hardcodes fav sites - faster than remote dns)
2.) Security (vs. malicious domains serving malcontent + block spam/phish & trackers)
3.) Reliability (vs. downed or Kaminsky redirect vulnerable dns, 99% = unpatched vs. it & worst @ isp level + weak vs DGA, & Fastflux + dynDNS botnets)

* Hosts do more w/ less (1 file) @ faster levels (ring 0) vs redundant inefficient addons (slowing slower ring 3 browsers) via filtering 4 the IP stack (coded in C, loads w/ os, & 1st net resolver queried w\ 45++ yrs.of optimization).

* Addons = more complex + slow browsers in messagepassing (use a few concurrently & see) & are nullified by native browser methods - It's how Clarityray's destroying Adblock.

* Addons slowup slower usermode browsers layering on more - & bloat RAM consumption + excessive cpu use too (4++gb extra in FireFox https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth...)

Instead, work w/ a native kernelmode part - hosts (An integrated part of the ip stack)

Can adblock do these 15 things hosts files can for more speed, security, reliability, & more:

1.) Secure you vs. known malicious sites/servers (beyond malicious adbanners - see 2 thru 6 below next)
2.) Secure you vs. downed DNS servers aiding reliability
3.) Secure you vs. DNS redirect poisoned dns servers
4.) Protect you vs. fastflux using botnet attacks and stop their communications back to their C&C servers
5.) Protect you vs. dynamic dns using botnet attacks and stop their communications back to their C&C servers
6.) Protect you vs. domain generation algorithm using botnet attacks and stop their communications back to their C&C servers
7.) Speed you up for websurfing not only by adblocking but also hardcoding favorite sites
8.) Get you past a dnsbl you may not agree with
9.) Keep you off dns request logs
10.) Do all of those things and block ads (better than adblock) more efficiently in cpu cycles and memory usage
11.) Work on ANY webbound application (think stand-alone email programs, for example).
12.) Give you direct, easily notepad/texteditor controlled data for all of the above
13.) Block out trackers
14.) Block spam mails sources
15.) Block phishing mails sources

So, *IF* you feel like doing things LESS efficiently as well -> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... ontop of doing less than hosts do (by far) with more complexity + from a slower mode of operations (usermode with more messagepassing overheads vs. hosts in kernelmode, also starting up w/ the IP stack itself, before REDUNDANT inefficient addons even BEGIN to operate, & as the 1st resolver queried by the OS as well)?
