PEIP is a technical non-starter for several reasons:
1. Not enough room in the IP header to record the path.
2. Changing the packet size in flight would greatly exacerbate the impact of the PMTUD design error in normal operations.
3. The router data plane is a poor location for any kind of complex programming.
4. The same people who have failed to implement BCP38 would have to implement the much more difficult PEIP.
5. It's whack-a-mole. The nature of the attacks is evolving from spoofed source addresses to distributed botnets with each bot performing a complete IP transaction with its own IP address. If everybody implemented BCP38 tomorrow, theses newer kinds of DDOS attacks would continue unabated.
With due respect, you have no idea what Fascism is. Fascism is basic dictatorship with a nationalist ideology. It features a specific individual, the dictator, who can't be voted out of power and sublimates individuals to the "nation's" need as defined by that dictator.
What I suggested is a cross between democracy and feudalism. A core self-selecting nobility rule by democratic vote. Anyone can join the nobility. A homeless woman on the streets can join the nobility. But there's a monetary incentive not to, to select serfdom and be ruled instead. The "nobility" is incentivized to maintain a high enough basic income for the "serfs" that they continue to choose serfdom.
The key, of course, is choice. Every single individual has a choice.
Personally, I'd be in favor of an optional basic income. The plan is this: You can register to vote or you can register for the basic income. But not both.
Java is a memory safe language. Great error handling too. The language does so many things right, it's scary.
Intermediate result: java attracts incompetent programmers who find that their java code doesn't outright crash the way their C code tends to. Because their code works, more or less, it becomes hard for a non-programmer manager to tell the difference between a java guru and an incompetent boob.
Final result: most java code is utter crap riddled with errors compared to typical C code.
Important to note it's a C-64C, not an original C-64. The original C-64 had inadequate ventilation and tended to burn out with a few years of heavy use.
As an ISP you're already required to report address allocation information to the regional registry who makes the associations publicly available. The police know whether they're looking for ISP staff or a customer when they show up at the door because as an ISP you published enough information for them to make that determination.
I'm with Charter on this. There's a cost associated with customers that use random equipment instead of your preferred equipment and there's a cost associated with having to plan around customer-owned equipment when making changes to your sytem. It's unlikely this cost is meaningfully less than what charter pays for the equipment it provides customers.
I 100% support requiring charter to allow customers to use their own equipment but if they're already doing that then the FCC should back off.
If you're dumb enough to run a Tor exit node, you deserve to be slapped around a bit at 6:00 am. How are the police supposed to know the difference between your illegal activity and the illegal activity you intentionally conspired to facilitate?
the states can forbid councils from building roads or installing mains water services.
This is common. For example, in Virginia incorporated cities are required to maintain their own roads (and may collect taxes for the same) while county roads are maintained by the state and the county governments are generally forbidden to do roadwork.
The state government decides what subordinate governments are allowed to do and what activities are reserved to the state government. This is long, long settled law.
Municipal governments don't have rights, they have responsibilities and areas of authority as assigned by the state governments. To misunderstand that is to grossly misunderstand basic civics in the United States.
You also misunderstood what I wrote if you think I made any sort of claim that there's "right for some private entity to be given access to infrastructure they did not build."
I spoke to the smart plan, not any kind of rightful one. The smart plan is to build roads and let private enterprise build cars. The smart plan is to build last-mile fiber and let private enterprise build services like Internet access.
I would support laws against municipalities building cars were any hair-brained enough to try.
Blame North Carolina for passing a bad law. The courts did no more than affirm the states' right to regulate their municipalities.
While you're at it, blame Wilson for overreaching. They could have made a case for installing basic infrastructure (fiber optic cable, no different than roads) and then leasing it by the strand to individuals and businesses to connect to the Internet provider of their choice. And invited providers to enter the market and compete, now with the ease-of-entry facilitated by last-mile infrastructure. Instead they made the same bad decision most municipalities make: run a municipal Internet service with no direct access to the cable for other purposes.
Yeah, that was my thought as well. Red team code is supposed to be quick and dirty. It's the attacker, not the defender. It doesn't have to be pretty or work well, it just has to breach the target system.
The Clinton campaign was not hacked. That's a misreport. The DNC was hacked. Two organizations. Two networks. Two different sets of staff.
The misreport is like saying that because VISA was hacked, Bank of America was hacked. No. Bank of America does buy services from VISA and they are impacted by a (theoretical) VISA hack but that doesn't mean that they have automagically been hacked solely because VISA has.
And no, Hillary's email server wasn't hacked either. Some of the folks she communicated with were hacked. She was not.
Yet another fancy pants artist who wants to still own the things his customers buy. Give it up dude. If you want your customers' money, sell them what they want to buy.
At the start of the 20th century, most of the United States' population was agricultural peasants. In the same time span, our society became urbanized, better educated than the USSR's and enjoyed a vastly higher median standard of living.
1916's Marxists called. They want to remind you that central planning through the use of math and science was their idea before it was your idea. And its genius. It will surely work this time too. Yeah. For sure. This time.
There are so very many things wrong with this "linear programming" idea but the chief one is this: optimizing for GDP is NOT a valid sociopolitical objective.
Valid objectives are things like: individual liberty, peace, citizen happiness either individual or weighted percentile. While some of these objectives correlate with high GDP, some do not and none exhibit a causative effect that starts with high GDP as the cause. War, for example, is the easiest and most direct way to drive a high GDP.
For me, it's not the price its the dearth of content. Weeks go by with a queue empty of anything that I want to watch. I'm especially annoyed on the DVD side where they have the right to go out and buy discs... but don't.
Imagine a future society in which everything is perfectly logical.
No such thing. Logic provides formulas. Formulas work on Values. Logic does not provide Values, it only provides formulas. Thus the foundation of the most logical society possible would still be emotionally selected Values.
Effectively the court has rules that "authorization" for the purpose of computer hacking is mens rea, not actus reus. If you obviously knew you lacked authority (mens rea = mental state) then the element is satisfied regardless of any technicalities about the access control systems (actus reus = actual activity). Crimes require both mens rea (knew you lacked authority) and actus reus (used the computer anyway).
That's why it's OK for the wife to log in and pay the husband's credit card bill: she has a _reasonable_ belief that it's OK to do so, thus the mens rea element of the crime is not proven.

That is a really interesting idea.
If the basic income is too low, the "pensioners" are incentivized to vote instead of accepting it.

When the summary says 'scientists', I mentally see air-quotes around that word.
Exactly.

My favorite Java 8 feature:
java.net.UnknownHostException: slashdot.org: unknown error
Because really, it's impossible to get a better message than "unknown error" from the getaddrinfo call it's making under the hood.
Hrm, I guess that's a bug not a feature.
I have a comment for Mozilla: fix your dang browser so it stops freezing for minutes at a time.
I'm pretty sure the NSA never intended to sell the code to anybody.
"Oh man your shell scripts suck!"
