Do you remember the case of the student doing terror threats against the university via tor? They did not have any more evidence than he was the only tor user on campus. But they did not need to. They visited him, asked him and he did not resist, but conceded. When somebody already comes to ask you about the things, even when this is not the rubberhose type of interview, you probably will tell, if you're not a full grown criminal prepared to lie to the police / agencies /...
"Thankfully"? Not only, that it's not neutral, but it's even against freedom. A VPN is there to protect your privacy and freedom of speech. If the cannot protect the guilty, they cannot protect the innocent, either. Read the Tor Projects's summary on why anonymity needs to be universal and why the "bad guys" will always have ways to be anonymous, while the good ones trust software like tor or providers like PIA, i.e. instead of using hacked windows pcs to cloak their origin. So a logging vpn only encourages the bad guys to use more illegal ways, while the good ones may be at risk to get caught by their regime. And you won't think america doesn't hunt the good ones, do you? Then think of the name snowden and rethink your position how good guys can be at risk because of anonymity providers not providing anonymity. No wonder, snowden had more then one measure to communicate privately.
And it will die in a few firefox releases. Mozilla deprecates (and removes) XUL and XPCom and addons as powerful as DTA will not be possible, the DTA author wrote he will probably need to discontinue it.
See the autonomous car like a taxi. It's there somewhere, you go in, it drives you somewhere and somebody else uses it afterwards. So the total amount of cars needed decreases.
Let's look at rationalwiki's rationality. A link away: Fake Geek Girl. I think most here know, what's meant by it. I do not even want to classify somebody as one or not, but look at the description:
> '''Fake geek girls''' is a [[snarl word]] developed by men with limited social skills used to describe women who partake in geek culture but are deemed sexually inaccessible to the average male geek
> by men with limited social skills > deemed sexually inaccessible to the average male geek [citation needed][neutrality disputed]

Opera was bought at some time. The new boss wanted to modernize it and thought developers developing a render engine is a waste of time, if you can get a free one. Then they just took a whole chromium and started modifying it and distributed it as "opera", which everybody hated. Now it grows more and more an own browser again, but with another focus than opera had. Vivaldi is now the approach to recreate the old opera. Because a new company cannot develop a new engine and the rights to the old engine are owned by opera, they took chromium as base as well. But from day one on it did not look like chromium. It's just the render engine and the widget-system, which is used but the typical opera features get implemented on top of that.
Think of having a 20 GB VM-Image. One bit flips. In the unused space inside the VM's filesystem, but who knows this. Next comes ZFS, detects a wrong checksum and deletes the whole image file (yeah, Host-FS is consistent again!).
Think of having a folder of JPEG files and a lot of bit flips. You would notice it only on very few, where it happens in the Header, the rest would have like one wrong pixel. But ZFS deletes them all.
nope, small files are bad on ext2-4. Try to delete 100.000 small files in a a directory on ext4. Next try the same on xfs. The first needs like 30 seconds and more, the second works instantly.
Even before, users started to post pictures of big smileys instead of posting just a smiley (or more appropriate: Clicking the fab button without any reply).
People use computers, which are named like fruit. And operation systems from companies, which are named like some detergent. Their text processor's name implies you may only write one word and so on.
Nope, names aren't important. Ask the novice users, if they even know, what PGP means.
Yeah, start teaching the users, that something is secure, if a lock appears INSIDE the website (or insecure, if its a broken lock). Because err nobody would ever use this to tell the user the fake banking website is as secure as the email on gmail.
The irony: Tell someone a bomb is fake and they will have a bomb alert anyway. People are paranoid. Okay, if something looks like an bomb... but when you mention to some security guard, that there is no bomb in your briefcase... it should be clear, that you just want to be left alone.
Sandboxes do not matter. Most websites won't harm your pc. But why should they? It's enough to XSS your mal and CSRF your online banking. Most important stuff is done inside the browser sandbox, not outside.

Maybe you can build a *transmitter* for DCF77 to re-distribute accurate time indoor?

That's not really the point.

Nuclear strike in america. First thought ... strike back!
Sounds like a good idea, let's start global thermonuclear war!

School Algebra are just basics, who cannot learn them should not get the grade.

blocking tor users? no thanks.
It's just wrong, yahoo is still the favourite search engine for many, even when they start by typing yahoo in their google searchtoolbar.
Ask them. They have a public bugreport form (though no public bts) and they read the comments on their blog (and in their forum).

His rant is correct.
For example the issue with not having ECC-RAM: https://forums.freenas.org/ind...
Or the checksumming thing.

There is another positive aspect: "The torrent was downloaded because of XSS" is now an excuse.
