But any proxy actually breaking HTTPS connections is itself defective.
That's why some proxy servers support a form of SSL bump, which rewrites the SSL connection but leaves the underlying content intact. This does require creating a custom root+intermediate certificate, but gets the job done without the browser squacking.
If I can do it with in my personal proxy server (to cache https sites as I visit them), then malware can do it on any system. I get the green lock symbol, the word "secure", and none the wiser about someone hacking in.
Why does Chrome allow extensions that can hijack proxy settings?
The use case is an extension that changes proxy settings. For example, if you need/want to visit a specific website for a proxy server (such as 127.0.0.1:8080, to cache/save websites as you browse them), you can enable or disable it at a click of a button.
Of course, a better question asks why extensions have better access to the browser settings than the user. Editing proxy settings manually has to be done on the OS level, while extensions can tell Chrome to use a given proxy through an API.
Netscape 2.0 also counts, as it's miles ahead in stopping blind execution compared to stock modern browsers. It also had bandwidth saving features too, allows manually loading images. Modern browser developers must think those two features would never have any use.
The day they end support for Flash there will be millions of vulnerable PC's with Flash installed that will never be patched.
Most vulnerabilities stop being an issue if browser+plugin developers don't allow automatic blind execution. This is a lesson that should have been learned since the MS-DOS virus days. Since flash no longer auto-executes, there's much less concern for 0-days.
If anything, it's a flaw with web browsers themselves. Web browsers tended to have vulnerabilities for much longer than what was acceptable. For example, Firefox took 10 years just to plug the alert() loop.
If your computer doesn't have a replacement already installed, then you clearly wouldn't have the right software to take notes to begin with. If it is installed but you don't know it's name, then maybe you should learn what's actually installed on your system.
There is nothing as productive as trying to use five different programs to take notes in one class.
Yeah, if only there was a single program that did everything.
When it comes to taking notes, it's only necessary to be efficient enough. Whether one prefers pen-and-paper, or prefers using a computer is irrelevant as long as sufficient notes can be taken for later review.
In high-school tier, math equations are easy to type.
In college tier, you probably should have a copy of Matlab, Mathematica or some other similar program that makes it easier to type those equations. If not, that's a case to have subsidized software infrastructure.
In case of a diagram, there's MsPaint. Or if necessary, you can take said diagram from the textbook instead.
The government needs to stay out of free market economics. Consumers have spoken and they prefer cheap over durable.
A free market requires unrestricted competition and balanced bargaining power. If certain groups have much better bargaining power than others, then it is not a free market.
Large corporations have more bargaining power when they can flood the market with cheap shoes, where less experienced people simply purchase cheaper shoes because they can't really tell which one is actually better. Thus it's actually corporations that speak on behalf of consumers by pricing better options out of the market.
What's next, the government is going to legislate a longer lifespan for humans? Oh, right, that's the ACA. How did that one work out? LOLOLOL!
It worked as far as Trump wanting to Make America Sick Again (tm).
Speaking of health care, that's not a free market either. Just one pharmaceutical company creates an essential product (e.g. Epipen), makes it a requirement for organizations to have them on-hand, then jack up the price. This would be a non-issue in any other western nation with socialized medicine - only the USA is the one still having trouble with health care.
Breaking Bad would be a 5-minute short if it took place in any sane country. "You've been diagnosed with lung cancer, but our socialized medicine system can take care of you, plus you have life insurance that doesn't cancel because you suddenly got sick."
A simple search on "drive-by ADA lawsuit" easily brings up a better result. Here, that person claims to had trouble with barriers inside the store, which indicates that the plaintiff is more likely a drive-by litigant rather one of his disabled customers.
And what the the fuck is actually wrong with the ADA laws?
Currently, they allow drive-by professional litigants, who place claims on minor infractions of the ADA laws that don't bother actual disabled individuals, yet are expensive to actually correct.
While the ADA itself is a good idea, trying to follow the guidelines requires very technical planning that's on par with infrastructure - that is, it should be funded by a tax and those taxes should be used to help compliance rather than offloading expenses onto random companies, especially if it's a "just in case" scenario.
If the browser uploads something, and you can't find out what's uploaded, then that's a severe security issue more serious than auto-executing javascript.
If you can find out what's uploaded simply by pressing F12 and viewing the networkt tab, then there's nothing to worry about. In case of Yahoo mail, it's probably saving the draft.
Statements like that is exactly why the education system is in shambles. There's plenty of complaints that young people are stupid, yet there's no real effort in trying to educate them properly.
If one young person is stupid, that's the failure of one person. If many young people are stupid, that's the failure of those teaching them.
I think blaming technology and specifically social media is to blame
I can think of better reasons. Perhaps it's like Family Matters, where the "WB" Logo isn't shown until the end (and credit roll is usually the cue to take a break from TV, thus WB isn't shown). Perhaps the fact that it's related to WB is irrelevant and not necessary information for the average viewer.
In fact, WB isn't normally direct to consumer and is simply a large-scale distributer. Most likely, you'd either watch it on various TV channels, buy it at the store, or view them on Youtube/Netflix - you're interacting with front line contacts rather than going to the backend.
How many times has young people been ask basic knowledge questions on the street and haven't a clue the answers.
Here's a few basic knowledge questions for you:
How do you skip the requirement to attend certain high school courses because you already mastered the content? (Hint: You can't.)
Using what's provided in high school courses, how do you prepare for those various math contests that require use of advanced math? (Hint: You can't.)
In the event that you are struggling with certain topics, how do you get the help you need within the scope of high-school?
These basic knowledge questions have a solution, yet you cannot answer them properly. They most likely require overhauling an entire system, something which should have been done earlier.
If you refrained from piracy, your Commodore 64's drive would need repair much more frequently because an anti-piracy measure involves reading "bad" sectors and causing the hard drive to knock at sector 0 (and thus misalign the head.)
If you refrain from piracy, you get a free rootkit while you play games such as Street Fighter V.
If you refrain from piracy in the future... well, I'm uncertain what will happen on the technical side, but you won't be able to purchase Alan Wake if you missed the recent fire sale.
I'm not advocating piracy, but the current situation is that anti-piracy mechanisms don't exactly respect the customer, or those that want to buy the products.
A faulty machine or medical device that harms a patient would likely see the manufacturer or operator held to account.
If only there was some organization that provides a safety net in case something like this happens. In exchange for a small fee (whether through taxes or however else it's implemented), patients get economically protected should a misdiagnosis causes problems.
Maybe the safety net could be called "insurance". Perhaps it may be possible to do a for-profit organization under this concept.
What would this mean for an AI?
If the AI turns out to be more accurate, then that would make insurance payouts less frequent.
If you want to minimize problems, you can have the AI provide the most likely issues, and a competent human doctor make sure that the diagnosis is sane.
Keep in mind that most of the abuse of copyright in the US stems from the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
Any abuse of copyright law can be fixed by amending the law, and the government elected afterwards has not done so.
many other leftists around the world for continually extending copyright protections
That's not a leftist ideology, that's a corporate ideology.
An actual leftist ideology would be something similar to the GPL that recognizes that nothing should be locked down in the long-term by a small elite - especially if it allows people to use computers without having to pay more than they should (e.g. allow computers to have Linux, a basic set of compilers, and basic software required to do practically any common task.)
And what about the not so intelligent intersection that has a bug that paralyzes traffic for miles around?
Someone notices. An official detects a problem and either switches to classic timed mode, manual mode or shuts the traffic lights down. If it's shut down, it becomes a 4-way stop.
What happens when the power fails?
That intersection becomes a 4-way stop sign - similar to regular traffic lights when the power is cut.
Most of your complaints are generally solved problems, even without intelligent cars. Engineers already know how things operate, complete with the various corner cases that frequently come up in various driver's education courses.
How about the alternative of having the vehicles approaching the intersection negotiate right of way with each other?
On the other hand, this is the only one that is of concern, as a random driver's education blog says that the local traffic law doesn't define what happens when four cars arrive at a four-way stop intersection at the same time. Regardless, in the rate case that four cars do arrive at in intersection all at once and need to go straight, it's trivial to communicate with other cars to use a specific process on who goes first (e.g. can be picked randomly, or use the paradigm of north going first.)
I thought the idea was to detain people if they had already committed a crime, so I'm a little disturbed at the idea of holding them because you think they are likely to offend in future.
The legal systems (at least the western ones) already try to determine whether or not someone is going to reoffend. There's basically two groups - ones with a single infraction, and ones who chronically violate the law.
Since one of the objectives is to reduce recitivism (or at least the first offense), that's why there's social programs. Make sure people are kept fed, happy and safe, along with giving them the tools necessary to become productive.
If we are going to change the way we do these things, we will need to revamp our entire legal system (which I think would be a terrible mistake).
The only change needed is to make everything accurate. Ideally you want 100% accuracy, but I'm willing to settle if there's a false positive rate of (1/10)^20 - a one in a billion chance of one of the billion inhabitants of earth being falsely accused.
By the way - Canada implemented a Dangerous Offenders Act. If an individual is established to have a pattern of violent criminal activity, that's grounds for indefinite detention. Generally, someone targeted by that act is no longer a risk of re-offending because it is guaranteed to happen.
The problem with GC is that it causes your program to pause at inconvenient times.
Unless you use a programming language that lets you launch GC whenever it's most convenient (not too many do so). Bonus points if you don't need system specific behavior to get access to your own telemetry (which lets you time it properly.)
UBI will never work. Why because people will never be satisfied with what they have. They will always want more.
And if someone on UBI wants more than what they currently receive, then nothing prevents them from getting a job for additional income. There will always be jobs available, whether people abandon jobs and migrate to UBI en mass, or whether people do actions worthy of being posted on NotAlwaysWorking.com
What does for example Amazon need the government for once they can hire/build their own fully automated asset protection?
Companies can only be independent from governments if they consume no resource owned or provided by the government. This includes currency that's needed to pay for merchandise that Amazon sells, and the same currency that is expected to be paid out as dividends to shareholders.
Two fixes. The bulky method shows if there's any onclick or onleavepage events going to fire when you click said link. The other method involves a few click to ban certain sites from running javascript.
A quick remembering of the public political discourse
I said society, not savages.
And speaking of empirical evidence, the ones that tend to use name-calling or negative attacks tend to be less interested in doing the job at making things work, and instead just want to be in a position of power.
It is 2017. Society has been active long enough to trivially make political discussions without plopping into the Liberal/Conservative dichotomy, especially without leaning towards childish insults.
Also, the ones making the complaint are closer to being liberal, because they believe in everyone having a chance of equal access.
It is good that these discriminatory hateful videos were deleted in order to protect the disabled.
Disabled students would simply not have access to these videos, and as usual depend on obtaining knowledge using other means. Maybe having a friend transcribe content, or having lecture notes. It's only an issue if the university demands those deaf students use those videos as a requirement to study.
If you were instead performing joke/satire, you probably should tell better jokes.
Brave New World had a functional society. Technically a dystopia, but there's still plenty of work to do, and it's well organized. Such a world could survive for a long time. Even though Shakespeare is "banned", there's still a good enough alternative that at least keeps people happy and in line.
It's closer to Fahrenheit 451, where society is showing cracks with some people being explicitly unhappy. The removal of high quality works was balanced only by pumping out low-quality stuff on the four walls. Shakespeare is banned, and the ones affected want to escape the blantant dystopia.
Where you decided to go to school in relation to the 'quality' of the program
That's a good point... but children don't have much of a decision on which elementary or high school they attend. They rely on their parents and advice of others for the placement. Similar reasoning applies to post-secondary programs - students rely on the advice of othersfor what they should pursue.
If parents send their child to a school that things horizontal-only word searches are a good way to teach a Grade 7 student, then they shouldn't be surprised when their child is an underachiever.
The quality of the faculty, staff, program and curriculum in terms of a mixture of academic and real world exposure
Don't forget other students.Sometimes they aren't a factor, but bad ones can drag down other by constantly asking for help when they're clearly misplaced.
