That's still okay. The worst will come when you realize 5 years later that your car is too old, doesn't have enough RAM, has expired certified certificates, or the manufacturer has disappeared, and you can't update it anymore. Then you need to buy another car, despite yours still being otherwise perfectly sound and serviceable.
It was a rhetorical question. The point is, the mile-per-hour is an existing unit (albeit one that is only used in Burma and in the US) and it does not mean that.
That's the difference between the crypto-dictatorial regimes in communist China and in capitalist America: in the former, sites are police-firewalled. In the latter, they're paywalled. In both cases, there's a fucking wall.
That's the power of hindsight my friend. We know what is (or may be) in store for the new generations because we've lived more than then.
But look at the bright side: like you said, the younger generation stay hopeful. They walk blindly into their bleak future, because they don't have a past to compare it to. But at least they don't fret over it like we do.
When you put your data elsewhere than on your own iron, expect it to be as good as public. Everybody has known this since the beginning of the internet. Security-conscious IT folks don't do cloud, even if it costs more.
In my opinion, the Cloud Act is just an official recognition of what's already going on.
Just manage your own damn IT infrastructure you lazy sumbitches, and then you'll get as much performances you're willing to devote time and resources to. But if you're a cheapstake cloud sucker, you get what you pay for.
Do you understand the point of a warrant canary? You'd prefer they didn't have one, do this action expanding them? Or are you just one of those that likes to bitch and FUD based on nothing tangible or able to even be referenced?
Okay, I'll spell it out for you:
How about the canaries are just a tool to get good press, and CloudFlare is perfectly happy to roll over when they get a warrant without telling you?
Do you trust CloudFlare to actually update the canaries when they get one? I don't: they're under no obligation to do so, and like all other big data companies, they're all about earning money by raping people's private data. What possible motive could they have to tell you when the government wants to rape your data too?
The only thing that makes the canaries vaguely believable is, if CloudFlare got caught flauntic a static text for marketing purposes, it would be a much worse PR disaster than if they got caught caving in to warrants. But that's about it.

Before posting judgmental crap like that, you should know your history: the Global Positioning System project was launched in 1973, and the first satellite went up in 1978. The design was done sometime in-between.
Well guess what: in the mid-seventies, EVERYBODY was coding stuff without thinking it'd still be there 40 years later, saving bits and CPU cycles everywhere they could thinking X or Y weeks / years / kilobytes / megahertz should be enough. Even the long-term thinking Unix people thought 2038 should be far enough in the future.
Safer and cheaper for sure, but in no way are they faster or better.
Of course faster and better. Look, it's simple: Opportunity took 15 years to explore 28 miles. Human beings are still working out a plan to leave the ground. Yeah, once you're there, it might take a few hours or days to do the same job, but you gotta get there first. And by the time human beings are finally ready to undertake the journey, robots will have become as versatile and clever as people on Mars - probably more so in fact, as robots aren't bound to Earth-specific bodily contraints.
There's no point in sending warm wet bodies to Mars: robots prove time and time again that they do a much better job than human beings could ever hope to do, faster, safer and a lot cheaper. And in a sense, robots are humanity's children: we created them, and I consider them part of our species. When a robot explores Mars for 15 years, it's humanity that has maintained a presence on Mars and studied there for 15 years.
I've been much more fascinated by what's been going on with space probes of all kinds for the past few decades than with the lunar stunts of the late sixties, which where rich in emotion but rather poor in science for the money.
It's just that people are now aware that it's massively under surveillance, that anonymity has been thrown out the window, and that anything they say, even under a pseudonym, can come back to haunt them. So the worst offenders are becoming more PC because they don't feel totally free to say any old shit anymore.
Exactly the same effect as when people realize they're being watched on CCTV cameras in supermarkets : many don't dare scratch their butts discreetly behind an aisle like they used to.
It's quite chilling actually, if you ask me... I preferred the wild internet to the self-censored one: at least you could see humanity raw, as it really is.
It's alive and well server-side. It's dead on the desktop because it's dreadful, slow, memory-hungry and extremely annoying each time Oracle forcibly imposes things that break legacy applications.
I'd rather have my throwaway passwords and account details on fly-by-night websites leaked and exposed by a thousand Russian hackers than my true personal data collected and held secretely and against my will by FANGs.
Men can create future-proof designs also. In fact, that's exactly how most everything was designed before planned obsolescence was invented in the beginning of the previous century, and consumers started to get brainwashed into wanting the new model of the year of things they already had in perfect working order by automobile manufacturers.

to be honest and truthful, and I place about as much trust in them as any of the big data players out there. That is, not much.
I suspect their canaries are more about marketing themselves as a company with strong morals than true morality.
That's called a cipher and is exactly what "encrypt" means.
Er... no.
