Now are there illegitimate uses for domain fronting?
Yes, bypassing laws of sovereign states.
I'm not saying I agree with it, just be careful when you attempt to define the legitimacy of something. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
I'm waiting for something more flexible. I have a Gear VR myself but the inability to adjust the interocular distance on it gives me grief. That could be fixed with a bit of plastic and a few lines of code.
...when I read that advertisers "...must not promote dishonest activity." What do they think advertisers do?
Advertising is not always dishonest, and in fact in most countries advertising that is wrong or dishonest is actually illegal. Advertisers try and create an emotional tie between a person and a product. If you can't do it with honest facts then maybe you should find a company to work for which actually has a product worth advertising.
As an engineer, I will never be in a position of being "exposed" for being unable to write a good essay about Shakespeare's "Midsummer night's dream". Real life is not like college.
One thing I remember about essay writing is that it was marked based on the ability to form a coherent argument and get it across simply on paper. Based on some of the engineering recommendations I have seen in my time, a lot of you should have paid more attention in college, even if you didn't think the topic at hand was relevant, the skills that you were being assessed on were.
I just preferred to devote time to things that actually mattered, like my engineering courses.
This attitude often gets corrected in the real world when the person is limited in their field because the things they deemed unimportant actually turned out to matter quite a bit.
At the time the rule or regulation was enacted, it seemed like a good idea. Just remember that, at the time, it seemed like a good idea.
Yeah I know. We solved all the pollution issues, and exposed global warming for the Chinese conspiracy that it was, so environmental regulations no longer seem like a good idea. They were just a relic from an era of stupidity. *cough*. No that wasn't me coughing due to sarcasm it's just my lungs are really irritated *cough* *cough* and I don't know why.
Obama was not the King of Babylon. The next elected head of the executive branch actually does get to reverse his decisions.
Indeed and he should do so... where it makes sense without harming American competitiveness, the American environment, and... Americans.
On the other hand policy by: Obama did it so it must be bad is nothing short of absurdity. At this point it is clear that if Obama found a free and 100% effective cure for cancer, Trump would have reversed it somehow.
1. The S9+ 64GB model is 888EUR, the iPhone X 64GB is 1056EUR a difference of 168EUR close to $200USD from Vodaphone. The price gap is the same from electronics stores. From the electronics stores the S9+ 256GB model is 1049EUR vs the iPhone X 256GB being 1319EUR, a difference of 270EUR!
But that's just EU. I hear you man! The S9+ 64GB is $799 in the US, the iPhone X 64GB is $999 a difference of $200USD
2. Ridiculous is in the eye of the beholder. What is not is calling it "Apple's Notch". It's a "notch" period. It is ridiculous on the iPhone X, and it was ridiculous on the 2 android phones which introduced BEFORE Apple copied it. But it's amazing that Apple "needs" the ridiculous piece of shit while Android doesn't. You just gave props to Android. Bad FakeTimCook, Bad.
3. No Android phone on the market is banned from airplanes. There were phones that were recalled in a panic resulting in users not only being $0 out of pocket, but actually getting a significant discount on a replacement phone. All Apple users get is a middle finger, and they LOVE IT!
To think, of all those millions of federal employees, over all the years the US has been a nation, and here is the _very first_ one to talk about politics!
I know right! The Hatch Act is ridiculously simple. It's just two lines:
1) Be a federal government employee 2) Don't talk politics.
Everyone has broken it..... Oooooorrrr maybe you have no idea what you're talking about. Let me check.
I just checked. Apparently the Hatch Act is more than 2 lines, so I guess the real answer is you probably don't know what you're talking about.
I suspect everyone breaks one law or another every day and doesn't know it.
Yes but how many people break laws specifically targeted at them while they occupy an office or position intended as the specific target of the law?
Sure I probably break some laws, but you won't find me for instance breaking the Professional Engineering Act in my country. Likewise I expect someone in the employ of the federal government not to break a law that specifically is intended to apply to federal government employees.
Manufacturers are not on the line to fix someone's fuckups. They are on the line to fix manufacturing defects that lead to early failure.
Neither of those have anything to do with the right to modify equipment, and neither of those typically occur from the simple act of opening the case.
The manufacturer may want to make the first repair, and more power to them. However someone else making a repair or merely looking under the hood is not grounds for a manufacturer to not offer warranty on their defects.
If I was Sony, I'd remove the sticker and the warranty along with it. If you can't guarantee the hardware hasn't been fucked with, you don't warranty it. Problem solved.
This is an everyone wins scenario.
Sony will feel like they did something. Corporationists will cheer at the triumph of corporations over evil governments. Americans will get someone to sue. And the rest of the world with mandatory warranties will be unaffected.
And just like all other science which sounds like a bullshit waste of time when it is done it may also yield some new understandings of how interacting radio signals can be used for practical purposes.
Sidenote: Does anyone know of a news for nerds site? I'm looking for a site which specialises in technology and has an interested readership. All I can seem to find is a bunch of negative luddites who are more interested in blaming the entire world on governments.
Risk lies with the end user as the end user's usage and ONLY the end user's usage defines the risk. We are posting here on Slashdot. A site that regularly criticises governments and political parties. I am in a western country with reasonable levels of speech protection. My risk is low. What if I were in China or Iraq, or India where Slashdot was recently blocked? There I would have a different risk profile.
Defining your risk is not something you can outsource to someone else. Making everything have the highest risk profile by default is also incredibly draining and wasteful on resources.
The answer is obviously to have a sliding scale of mitigation and educate people how the sliding scale works. DV certificates weren't bad for security, the 90s/00s era end user education where we say if you see a little padlock in the title bar you are 100% safe was bad for security.
You're presuming he feels strongly about using Gnome.
He feels strongly enough to not celebrate a Fedora release because of a single package and then to bitch and moan about it on Slashdot. That alone shows a considerable amount of either dedication or an almost clinically alarming level of boredom.
GNOME does not depend on systemd. It depends on the functionality provided by systemd-logind which was formerly provided by consolekit. Now if you feel strongly about not using systemd-logind then why not get a campaign going to revive and bring consolekit up to modern standards, or better yet implement the API alternatively.
Just point out that the UK's Customs and Revenues Service will be taking a very detailed look at Facebook's tax returns, with a view to implementing necessary corrections in legislation that will prevent Zuck from off-shoring his profits to some tax haven.
Nothing will get a mega-corp CEO in the room like a threat to their profits.
And they will call the bluff. Not a bluff a per se but rather tax offices audit mega corporations all the time. Funny thing, every time they are found to be perfectly compliant with their immoral but legally enabled practices.
That's what you get when you pay your accountants more than the government does.
There have been for the past decade. The reality is it won't happen.
Google engages in unfair media manipulation at its worst, they are literally trying to sway the results of an election to a candidate they prefer.
So they are a news company then? I'm not sure anymore if you're just stating the obvious, manufacturing outrage, or actually clueless as to how the media represents elections in general.
Gun proponents explaining how to clean and care for their guns get their accounts locked, videos get demonetized, commentary gets shadow-banned... despite claims of "it was a mistake"
Fake news. Google has never said it was a mistake.
the companies will be forceably broken down into smaller pieces
If you think this is likely you really haven't been paying attention to the past 30 years.
Except what you're saying is quite consistent with the parent. The "et al." bit.
Now I know you're talking about multiple CEOs there but the reality is the CEO does none of what you said. The people who do it are the large teams of people across multiple layers of management often dispersed across the globe to make this global border-less reality a... well... reality.
It's those very people who support all of what you say, and it's those same people who the OP rightfully commented as being the correct people to contact first. Now if it turns out those people are incapable of getting the information or answering the question, then cast the net further. But in the meantime it most definitely is unrealistic for one person to be at the whim of everything.
Hmmm just looking at this hotel receipt now I don't know if the tip needs to be expensed separately or if I can just include it in dinner on the system. Quick someone get the board of directors on the phone!
Nothing, which is also why DV and OV are treated differently. It's why I see "Bank of America Corporation [US]" in the heading of my browser. If I just saw the word secure it would be telling me something different.
Since we're playing the consider this game: Do you live in a house with no door locks or window latches? If not do you live in Fort Knox?
The world is not based on extremes but rather sliding scales. DV certificates serve exclusively the purpose of encryption which is a layer of protection, kind of like having a door with lock on the front. Probably good enough for your house, but like your example, not good enough to protect the stacks of valuables stored in the Bank of America building.
Are you German? Just asking because the German language doesn't have different words to describe responsible and accountable. The CEO is not responsible, he's accountable. Or at least should be. That doesn't make them a good target for an interrogation if you want questions answered.
You've never been at a major international airport have you. Just sit and listen next time you're at Changi, be amazed, and then be super irritated when you realise they are only calling out for passengers on the intercom in your immediate terminal area, and there's likely 4 times as many of those calls going out.
This is not a small problem, especially since every late passenger affects the several hundred others on board, as well as an often very heavily crammed flight schedule.
Slashdot Mirror
Are you talking about by exposing people who are at risk of being harmed, or hiding people who are attempting to harm?
It's funny when both polar opposite examples can be defined as evil. Who have you assisted in murdering today?
Now are there illegitimate uses for domain fronting?
Yes, bypassing laws of sovereign states.
I'm not saying I agree with it, just be careful when you attempt to define the legitimacy of something. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

California politicians have that "If you believe it enough, it will come true" mentality.
Most great leaders do.
