Actually MPTCP allows you to keep changing your IP-address, you just add new IP-addresses to existing connection when you roam from one WiFi network to the next.
Boding works at a lower layer. Bonding assumes you are talking to the same network gateway/service provider (you use just one IP).
MPTCP clearly does not. It let's, for example, a TCP-client talk to a TCP-server over any path the client or server has available to them. This means you can combine different connections/paths from different service providers.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's closest to a guerrilla war.
It's hard to recognize the attackers before and after the battle, they are part of the crowd.
With Anonymous and these other groups from for example Russia or Arabic countries, they might have no (direct) affiliation with any state. Just the 'cause'.
I don't want to be a grammar nazi but technically you are comparing apples to oranges.
WebM is a container format, not a codec.
The codec you are talking about is probably: VP8.
An other newer codec also exitst VP9 which is better than H.264.
But obviously it's trying to compete with H.265. The gap between VP9 and H.265 is a lot smaller than between VP8 and H.264. Actually the gap is still getting smaller. VP9 is still improving. H.265 not so much.

Funny how you mention Pocket, because this was one of they things they mentioned they wanted to improve:
"Folks said that Pocket should have been a bundled add-on that could have been more easily removed entirely from the browser. We tend to agree with that, and fixing that for Pocket and any future partner integrations is one concrete piece of engineering work we need to get done."
FirefoxOS actually helps improve and streamline the Gecko engine and is the place where they started testing multi-process support in the real world. I don't think it would ever be a total loss. It is also what they use to help define new webstandards which can help give the web parity to native: https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAP...
If you had read TFA they are actually trying to fix some of the problems people had with this:
"Folks said that Pocket should have been a bundled add-on that could have been more easily removed entirely from the browser. We tend to agree with that, and fixing that for Pocket and any future partner integrations is one concrete piece of engineering work we need to get done."
The reason it took so long for Firefox to get e10 (electrolysis) is obviously because they don't want to break addons and were trying to find the best way to do it.
And those bashing FirefoxOS as well, this is the place were they first deployed e10 to figure out what works and make it reliable.
There might be a chance Greece will leave the Euro. But the chance they'll also leave the EU is a lot smaller. Don't confuse the two.
There are political reasons Greece is part of the EU, those will not change.
Also when Greece leaves the Euro Greece will default (the other EU members will not get their money) and the Greece economy collapses even further. After which the other EU members will burn up more money so they can help the sick and needy with aid like medicine, food and other supplies.
Yes, it's strange the Greece economy is part of the Euro-zone and has the same monetary system as the rest of the Euro countries. It should not have happened in the first place because only similar economies should be part of the same monetary system otherwise you can't use the currency to at least have some control of your monetary system.
But I'm not so sure GrExit really is a great solution. Because it won't give the creditors their money back. And the current austerities are already the cause of death of certain people in Greece right now, let's not make it a lot worse.
The creditors are the rest of Europe. The loans are with the national banks. The reason is a commercial bank had them and Greece were paying far, far, far to much interest.
Now I don't know what Edge will support or does support, but the first article I found looking on Google for Microsoft Edge extensions tells me they support: http://imacros.net/microsoft-e...
"Edge will have extensions, “Javascript and HTML based” – essentially very much like Chrome. No C# support."
This means, similar model to Firefox and Chrome. Actually, many extensions work in both.
Maybe you are confusing plugins with extensions.
Plugins are like Flash, Java applets, Acrobat Reader all that stuff.
You know the stuff that is usually the least secure in most currently deployed browsers.
It's just that we used to think it's uselessly slow. I believe it was in the millions times slower than a normal application without this kind of encryption.
But in more recent years people have been able to build practical systems with it by mixing different kinds and more specialized forms of encryption: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
There are companies that also build products: Cloud Encryption Gateways
But I doubt that really solves the problem, if the application gets an update the proxy will probably start to leak data.
I wouldn't say they are failing in deploying robots, it's probably just not as easy as they thought but it is definitely having an impact. And you have to remember Chinese workers have been getting more expensive with 12% year over year for a number of years. So they aren't the cheapest workforce in the world any more. A lot of manufacturing of clothes moved to Bangladesh to name one country.
Here is an example of an article from 2007 which mentions the wage growth:
An article on where Foxconn is with building lights-off factories:
On Wednesday, the company’s CEO revealed Foxconn has a fully automated factory in operation in the Chinese city of Chengdu. “We haven’t talked much about the factory, but it’s manufacturing a product from a very famous company,” Gou said, without elaborating.
The factory can run for 24-hours with the lights off, he added. In addition, Foxconn has been adding 30,000 of its own industrial robots to its factories each year. “We don’t sell them, because we don’t have enough for our own use yet,” he added.
And an article on the loss of jobs in factories in China:
Automation has already had a substantial impact on Chinese factory employment: Between 1995 and 2002 about 16 million factory jobs disappeared, roughly 15 percent of total Chinese manufacturing employment. This trend is poised to accelerate.
That might not be a problem if the Chinese economy were generating plenty of higher-skill jobs for more educated workers. The solution, then, would simply be to offer more training and education to displaced blue-collar workers.
The reality, however, is that China has struggled to create enough white-collar jobs for its soaring population of college graduates. In mid-2013, the Chinese government revealed that only about half of the country’s current crop of college graduates had been able to find jobs, while more than 20 percent of the previous year’s graduates remained unemployed.
According to one analysis, fully 43 percent of Chinese workers already consider themselves to be overeducated for their current positions.
This only works if the website gives the ISP their private key. When the relationship between the website and the ISP is short, the website would probably be reluctant to do that.
So I'm not so sure they would do that.
But I agree if they have such a relationship an other way would be for the ISP to have a protocol where the website can get the information they currently put in a the header by requesting the information that goes with an IP/port combination. Just like haproxy/postfix does it:
I do think Let's Encrypt is on the right track. When they show their protocol and open source software works. I'm pretty sure other CA's will follow.
Automating HTTPS deployment is a good thing.
Yes, the CA-system isn't a perfect system at all, but at least we are seeing some improvements in use of HTTPS: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... (better revocation of certificates and faster loading of sites and better privacy) - https://blog.mozilla.org/secur... (better revocation of certificates) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... (old browser finally dying) - HTTP/2 is faster than HTTP and sort of depends on HTTPS for backward compatibility for old proxy servers and public websites - finally we are getting rid of all the old protocols like SSLv3 and get our server configurations cleaned up
Notice how the writer of the article in the last comment says:
"Yeah, I actually have no problem with javascript on the client side. I think its really awesome for a beginner to be able to make static pages interactive relatively easily. However, javascript on the server is a totally different animal."
The solution is obvious, maybe it much more readable and predictable:
Let's think that through for a moment, the real conclusion is: It does not matter which CA gets coerced.
A real solution to this problem that works actually works in modern browsers (Chrome 38+, Firefox 35+) is (even if not for every site, only for sites you regularly visit): HTTP Public Key Pining

You might be surprised, but you are ill informed.
The creditors are the rest of Europe. The loans are with the national banks. The reason is a commercial bank had them and Greece were paying far, far, far to much interest.
'funny' fact is, it's a US-bank that started this whole Greece in the EU thing.
Obviously it could only be Goldman Sachs and they made a lot of money on this.
People have been dying in Greece because of budget cuts for more than 3 years.
This really needs to stop.

Just run all the guest wifi-traffic through Tor this hides your IP-address. Yes, this will make it slower, but there will be no cops at your door. ;-)
Why would they, they are not doing anything with Linux containers right now.
And most of the Sun developers of Solaris had left after when Oracle bought Sun.

But at least nobody else can get this information. For example when it's unencrypted any passive attacker could see the extra header that was added.
See, this is exactly why I want a HTTPS web.

Their software is open source and their protocol is described and open. Other CAs can offer the same service.
