https://sillyutility.net/ -- Compare your Comcast bill with others in your ZIP code to see if they are charging too much. Just launched today. It is mostly for the Philadelphia market but actually it works anywhere in the US.
If I owned a small island nation somewhere and Apple offered me $1M to have its profits (which only mean something on paper) recognized in my country I would be happy.
I would be grateful for the $1M and the fact that $1M is small compared to $14.5B means nothing to me.
This seems to be the same situation Ireland is in.
The reason why this new word usage takes favor is because of computer search.
The most correct way to track discussion topics across multiple mediums would be to create a centralized database and then you request an identifier whenever you want to discuss a new topic. And you use that new ID in your tweets and posts. Because IDs are unique, it is easy to track the beginning and end of the discussion -- just Google for AA536410-7827-4F4A-8F84-F33EE892D9E4 and all those discussions will come right up.
Of course it would be easier to have a decentralized topic identification system. This is what hashtags are and single word tags are preferred. And dieselgate sounds nicer than dieselscandal.
Would anybody like to comment on other countries where culture and law may make this more palatable?
The first that comes to mind for me is Japan and the women-only subway cars. I would like to ask if anyone knows more about the culture there and whether that rule could be extended in this way.
Blacklist -- attempt to blacklist known exit nodes
No Blacklist -- do not attempt to blacklist known exit nodes
The motivation between choosing between these solutions is based on whether Tor users, which use server resources, are returning value (product sales, other calls to action) to the people that provide those resources.
Therefore the solution is simply to inform each client of Cloudflare client and let them individually decide the correct course.
If you can't see how the FBI/NSA demanding a cryptographic signing key which has authority over hundreds of millions of devices is a big deal then I would question your judgement.
Is this a website you access using your computer? Are there any types of MAC address / Comcast customer login restrictions? Do you view it from your TV / Xfinity set-top box?
I am not familiar with this product. Could someone please explain the details so that I may decide for myself whether this is an internet service -- should be common carrier -- or whether it is an other type of services -- that should be exempt from common carrier.
Thanks for posting on Slashdot about this and sharing your ideas as an engineer (then checking Google documentation afterwards). Part of the reason I trust Google is because my assumption is that people work there that have values like me. If unethical marching orders came in one day then engineers might resist them or one person might leak it. It took just one technician to blow the lid off of Room 641A. Google's past record of exiting mainland China because of Chinese spying should illustrate the commitment of Google to its users. This serves as an effective deterrent to people that might think of coercing Google to abuse its power. (Let's ignore the fact that Google did NOT leave the US market when the NSA tapped its server room interlinks.)
Unfortunately, this is not enough. The biggest risk to privacy and security is trust itself. The FBI / Apple case has made obvious that Apple has the ability to collect information from iPhones (before 5s). The effort would be herculean, but is it possible.
Bo Xilai is a political dissident in China and was jailed by premier Xi Jinping for conspiring to take over the national party. The level of assurance provided by Apple's iPhone 5c was not enough for Mr. Bo to conduct his operations. It is assumed that Apple's 5s and on are beyond even the reach of Apple.
In summary, when considering the privacy and security assurances of a system, it is usually the human element or the implementation details that are weakest. This can be quantified with the "ransom factor":
How many people would need to be served National Security Letters, served with All Writs Act injunctions or have their children taken ransom would it take to break the system?

For comparison, another time I linked to my blog fulldecent.blogspot.com for something that was probably more relevant (I forget what link). There were seven clicks.
For more comparison, once I posted a link to privacylog.blogspot.com and it made the front page -- about 1,000 people accessed the story.

Funny though, this actually just launched today.

I invite you to complete the process as well and post your own screenshots.

Is a question with serious ethical implications.
For anyone that is writing Swift 3 modules (that other people will use in their projects):
You may be interested in this template and recipe that explains how exactly to set up your project and Xcode settings properly.

Hopefully Swift 4 and other updates will not require every developer to redo everything each time.
iPhone already emits enough thermal noise to be picked up from an AM receiver. You can even use it as a music transmitter.

The iPhone 7 works even better than the previous models.

This is relating to the emails already considered in Comey's decision. Nothing tho see here, move along.

I support Comcast on this one:
LEGAL BASIS
This does not violate network neutrality. Data sent over ISP is not protected by any other laws I know. It's legal.
FINANCIAL BASIS
My internet is cheaper, and no less secure.
TECHNICAL BASIS
The explicit spying incentivizes HTTPS adoption.

People seeking DCMA reform couldn't ask for a better ally than farmers.
Farmers are the most politically active constituency.
The solution's right there: Army drops off 1.1 million laptops at store before noon. Upgraded before 4pm.
It's almost like even the /writer/ didn't RTFS.
What is the actual fuel economy savings on a normal car over the course of a year with this new technology?
What about beer?
Many people come to drink that in person.

There are two simple technical solutions:
The motivation between choosing between these solutions is based on whether Tor users, which use server resources, are returning value (product sales, other calls to action) to the people that provide those resources.
Therefore the solution is simply to inform each client of Cloudflare client and let them individually decide the correct course.
Clearly we need to ignore these laws and simply provide a "sharing" computer connection.
This new service is not marketed as internet, because it is SHARING. And old laws don't apply to new things.
If you can't see how the FBI/NSA demanding a cryptographic signing key which has authority over hundreds of millions of devices is a big deal then I would question your judgement.

This is exactly what Verizon does when they install FiOS. They remove your copper hookups. Then they flatly deny having done so.

If the SE is designed correctly then even publishing the source code and signing keys will not allow recovering the encryption key.
That's what the S stands for!
