I run Apache and I even compiled in HTTPS support, but here's the thing; I need a valid certificate which costs real money.
Is there an anonymous way to run an HTTPS server? Something that doesn't guarantee the identity of the website, but still allows the traffic to be encrypted?
In college, I remember a survey that claimed college men were having sex three times as often as college women. We all got a chuckle out of this, since it was obvious (to us) that the results were wrong. Either the men were bragging the numbers up, or the women were demuring the numbers down, probably both.
But I'm sure this time all survey respondents were perfectly truthful.~
The "new" HD is generally easier to receive than the old SD was, because it is higher frequency* therefore smaller antenna. And if you get it at all it will be perfect, because digital.
You can make a good guess by going to tvfool.com and entering your zip code. Or don't guess - borrow an antenna from one of your friends (or buy a cheap one - they're only about $30 bucks) and see what channels you get.
* theoretically HD broadcasts on exactly the same frequencies as SD did, but as a practical matter, almost all stations that used to broadcast on channels 2 - 6 switched to a higher channel.
That's backwards. People who own a house are advantaged compared to people that rent, but that's not the fault of UBI. And UBI would help the poor sod who rents a lot more, because they need the money a lot more. Money does not have linear utility.
Pirates use the internet because it's currently the easiest way to do things. But if it was impossible to spread "unapproved" media through the internet, people would just go back to sneaker-net. I can buy 32 gig on portable media for under 10 bucks. Swapping drives with just two people 5 days a week is yields a respectable 4.2 Mbps "sneaker-net a bandwidth". You might have to wait a month for content to saturate the network, but everybody would have access to everything.
And that's close to the minimum a sneaker-net would be. Most people have more than 2 friends they could swap with, and 128 gig drives are pretty cheap. Things are going great, and it's only getting better - Moore's law FTW.
Other studies also published in the Journal of Applied Microbiology came to the conclusion that paper towels and the airblade were equally effective at spreading germs - assuming that there really are paper towels, and a proper place to dispose of them.
I disagree with your premise that children do not have any rights to privacy, but even if you think that, it's not like this was a secret phone that the parents didn't know about. They didn't snoop his phone when he was alive. That sets an expectation that they won't after death either.
If you wouldn't do it while they're in the room, you shouldn't do it when they're not.
People were also making the EXACT same argument 10 years ago comparing mp3s @192kbps and mp3s @320kbps, when the vast majority can't tell the difference between uncompressed and 128kbps.
Until I see the results of an A/B test I will withhold judgement.
They want to unlock ALL phones, whenever they want.
It's worse than that, they want to be able to force Apple to unlock all phones whenever the FBI wants.
Imagine if Apple created an OS that displayed the internal secret information needed to unlock the phone, but encrypted with a public key. Then they decrypted the info. for the FBI, and destroyed the private key.
In that scenario, Apple would be on the hook forever.
Any engineer worth their salt could disrupt a city for under $500;
- A hammer and nails can disable emergency response vehicles. Self lighting charcoal and a road flare can set a house on fire. Combine the two, and you can burn down a city.
- Most cities have a small number of major traffic arteries that could be shut down with a similar number of people armed with rocks.
- Drop a bag of flour on the freeway and call in a chemical spill.
And there are far, far more effective things I can think of that I'm not willing to post on a public forum.
Once you start to think about how vulnerable we are, you realize that terrorists must be extremely rare.
If you believe the hype, 3D Xpoint nvram will be more reliable than either NAND or spinning rust. And (again, if you believe the hype) it will continue to get cheaper and cheaper, while NAND won't.
No matter how great your local storage is, you can't carry *all the media*
Maybe not, but eventually, you could carry all the media you own. I already do this for music. If Moore's law continues to hold, in 20 years I'll be able to do the same for Movies, TV, and Video.
I'll still download new stuff. If you want to call playing something as it's downloading "streaming" then I suppose I'll do that too.
Every improvement in EV technology will improve their share, but I think the low hanging fruit is price, not charge time. Drop the price from $55k to $20k, and you'll sell a lot more than if you drop the charge time from 5 hours to 5 minutes.

It's an oft repeat meme that if you exercise more, you'll lose weight.
"Oft repeated", however, does not mean "correct".

When I was in school, there were "fast learners" and "slow learners", yet we all graduated on the same day.
Nature vs. Nurture.
Nurture matters, but we don't teach dogs at public school, no matter what kind of family they were raised with.
... the interest rates go where they must be ...
The supply of money is unbounded - the fed can print as much as the want.
Considering there's infinite supply, what should the rate be?
Long ago I had a program that let me know whenever another program was accessing the internet, and gave me a "allow, deny, ask" dialog.
I wish I had a program like that for file access, and for directory modification.
I can forgive ignoring the lighter, the bread slicer, the zipper, and the soldiering iron, but no duck tape?

Correlation is not causation, but absence of correlation is absence of causation.
A study like the one mentioned in http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/everyday_economics/2006/10/how_the_web_prevents_rape.html doesn't prove that porn prevents rape.
It does, however, prove that porn doesn't increase rape.
And while smoke may not prove fire, fire's a good bet.
The study may not be enough to prove porn reduces rape, but it does point in that direction.

This must be that study where they didn't wash their hands before drying them.

The right to privacy doesn't end at death.
Has the method (however flawed) changed in the last 20 years?
Because the percentage of people who are obese has gone up in that time.

Are phone scramblers illegal now?
They've been selling those for, what, 50 years?

if people don't pay in some way for content, then that content will eventually no longer exist
~Right - that's why no content existed on the internet before advertising became a part of it.~
What really holds back electric vehicles ...
EVs are about 0.75% of the US market right now.
Every improvement in EV technology will improve their share, but I think the low hanging fruit is price, not charge time.
Drop the price from $55k to $20k, and you'll sell a lot more than if you drop the charge time from 5 hours to 5 minutes.
... harder for criminals to do business ...
Getting rid of large notes will make it harder to do business, period.
