Why would a "rogue" access point that actually delivers your packets be bad? A non-moron already treats all networks more exposed than your cluster's interconnects as untrusted, this goes for granted for any public network you connect to -- especially at a security conference where there will be some attacks (even if not malicious).
I am the only person I know who uses a local email client, rather than gmail, and I run with a reasonably tech savvy crowd.
Strange, I don't know a single person who uses a shitty webmail client rather than something local (did you know you can use gmail via IMAP?), and I run both with tech savvy and non-savvy crowds. The latter required a family member or a an IT guy (home/work respectively), who installed them something user-friendly like Thunderbird, rather than Windows Live Mail or whatever Outlook is called this week.
If the law says these people are included, the President does not have the legal authority to exclude them.
You mean, like your 4th Amendment?
George W. said the constitution is just a goddamn piece of paper. Barrack H. expanded those violations to an enormous level. And your newest Dear Leader apparently wants to drop any remaining lip service to rule of law.
No, coal still receives massive subsidies. It gets to ignore the pollution costs, medical costs, causing up to 1/3 deaths, and so on.
For comparison, nuclear, beside all the regulation coal doesn't have to cope with, is required to store every bit of its waste for hundreds of years. Please tell me when coal plants have to put condoms on their chimneys that collect all the CO2, sulphur, nitrogen oxide and even radioactive isotopes, and instead of dumping them into the air stores them underground. Only then you can talk about a fair competition.
But how will those "digital forensics engineers" tell an idiot user clicking on an attachment from this being done intentionally by someone with enough brains to log in as the former?
I guess the insurance company will just randomly deny payments with a bullshit excuse, like they usually do.
Even if the company has full data backups, they may not have the staffing required to wipe and reinstall every computer in a reasonable amount of time.
How hard is it to plop in boot media and run a script? You have all the rest automated, so all it takes is a few lines of shell, right?
Even special snowflake machines should back up to the common place, so they're not that different.
And if you're instead using some commercial "solution", well, then you're already used to pay the inadequacy tax.
If the speed is limited, then obviously the data is as well.
The word used is "unlimited", not "infinite". Obviously, you can't use more than (line speed * time). This means roughly ~31TB monthly on a 100Mbit connection.
Anything below that, allowing some natural congestion, is an artificial cap, and thus shouldn't be labelled as "unlimited".
Spam is just spam. The sentence seems way over the top.
And murder is just murder. Making the society lose a few decades of life worth is as bad whether it's done by offing a single person or slightly inconveniencing a million. People tend to fail to recognize spammers as just as bad as murderers, just like they obsess about a plane crash that kills 100 while ignoring thousands who died in car crashes that day.
I can filter out the spammer and windows anal probe 10 users at completely and totally at the mercy of M$, right on their desktop, completely ublockable
Newsflash: you can block Windows anal probe 10 too, by keeping it away from your computer. And if you need to run that one program, or test whether your software works on Win 10, or whether your webpage is not mangled by Edge, make a small VM so Microsoft can't spy on anything but that single program.
Hmm, correction... I did investigate this a few months ago, and 8.8.8.8 + 8.8.4.4 led to servers in the US both from machines in all locations I control, and from a bunch of random public tools to do so. I just re-checked, it seems to be fine today, with pings that can't possibly go to the US.
Where I work, the average employee receives nearly two hundred thousand spam messages per day.
Something is off -- I'm on many public mailing lists, git logs and so on, yet I see ~600 rejects per day, and my email server has a few other users. So either your company is a juicy target for a specific kind of fraud, or your number was obtained by scientific rectal extraction.
You don't think the punishment may be a bit... draconian?!!!
The numbers are the max allowed for that indictment, sentences that spammers get are a ridiculously low fraction of that.
I do think spamming should be punished harsher than murder, as the cost for the society is greater. Somehow people underestimate the harm if it is spread among many people. Like: you build a coal power plant that reduces the lives of 100k people by a year each -- you've committed the equivalent of more than 1000 murders, yet don't even get a fine for that.
On the other hand, I find the count of "more than 1 million spam emails" to be suspicious. A decade ago, spam response rate was 1 in 12.5M, and I'd expect it to be way lower today. A spammer doesn't spam "for the evulz", he spams because it is profitable. A billion mails per campaign is a low figure, and a spammer doesn't build the infrastructure for just a single run.
they will ask my ISP for it under another NSL, which my ISP will not bother to fight
This is a concern for you, yeah. But I for one don't live in the US, and would really prefer my metadata to not be given to your spooks. Those in my country can't find their ass with both hands, so while just as vile (our current govt in Poland is outright national socialist), they don't know how to get useful info from Internet data.
I don't like Apple, I consider them the Monsanto of software world, far worse than Oracle or Microsoft, but even if you hate someone, you shouldn't expect them to be always in the wrong.
They already have more than one physical server, so spinning up another one in a different location is trivial for them -- if someone gets such automation right, it's Google. And the benefit to users is high, as you issue a DNS request before every single connection, so you shave >100ms every time.
As an extremely competent company, I don't even entertain the though they didn't consider this. Hurting users while giving themselves no benefit is so unlike Google that targetting the blame is obvious.
You have far more to lose due to browser fingerprinting than you do with DNS requests
Browser fingerprinting goes over SSL so the three letter agency would need to NSL every single hosting company, which is too much work even in the US, and impossible on those without US presence. On the other hand, DNS requests are issued before every single connection (no browser/etc caches them), work for every protocol rather than just http/https, and, if you can get people to use 8.8.8.8, you get everyone, including employees of Russian government, your campaign donator's competitors, and so on.
and nobody does a single thing about browser fingerprinting
Are you aware that your claim that it's "nobody" can be trivially defeated by showing a single such person? And I can show you more than one...
For example, my approach is that, as there's too many fingerprintable pieces to humanly sanitize, it's better to randomize as much as you can, presenting first-party trackers (RequestPolicy takes care of third-parties) with a nicely unique fingerprint, that just happens to differ the next time I visit.
"Accidentally", yeah... I've got a bridge to sell, cheap, then.
As details of this case are not yet know, let's take a look at Google's 8.8.8.8. It is widely advertised as anycasted, and indeed, it is. However, have you noticed that, no matter where you are, all those anycast targets are located in a single country, despite the very purpose of anycast being geographic proximity? You can't suspect Google of technical incompetence, what could the real reason be, then?
Let's see... we have 2nd most nosy company, all targets are in the 1st most nosy country, both of which have extensive machinery to cross-match this kind of data. But, Google is perfectly capable of serving DNS from any of their datacenters, and only then coalescing the logs, so they have no incentive to degrade user satisfaction they'd be able to trivially fix. Thus, it's clear who's evil here.
So, is your resolver set to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4? Do you enjoy the metadata on every single TCP/IP connection you make that's not using a numeric literal being logged by someone who received a nice fat NSL?
I guess that Apple, with all their evilness elsewhere, is not the party to blame here.
As a comparison, Debian popcon shows i386 users being 27% of amd64's number, yet by counting bug reports filed after 2016-01-01 that include system information, that's 7%.
I see two possible explanations for this discrepancy: either i386 installations are old ones that were installed as such because the user didn't know better (the i386 installer was shown more prominently), or that such users are too untechnical to participate in filing reports.
In any case, getting a non-thoroughly-embedded machine without amd64 support takes some serious dumpster diving.
Make a shallow clone, then. It will have everything you need to hack on the current code and to push it back.
Not having the history breaks any advanced git workflow, though. The reason git won over svn and such is bisect, rebases and so on; svn is hardly better than a stack of daily tarballs.
In this particular case of "culture", copyright restricting access grants us all a favour.
Your total and complete lack of any sense of perspective, your absolute self-centeredness, is sickening. Trivializing actual suffering by implying that it's no worse than paying 99 cents for a song (or choosing a different, free, song) is profoundly insulting to those who have actually suffered
A single murder is immensely worse than a single act of restricting access to culture. But compare the number of victims a single Auschwitz guard has killed to the number of lost copies that haven't been created because of actions of a single MAFIAA executive -- it's no longer anywhere close to one-to-one. There's so many orders of magnitude difference in counts, that, even though each act of the latter is miniscule, I do compare actions of the latter to those of the former.
Even worse, by your words I see that they succeed in reversing the notion of evil: they made people think it's piracy what's evil rather than preventing transmission of culture.
So, what about this example: killing Terri Schiavo vs burning the Library of Alexandria? A single act of terminating a human life vs a single act of cultural destruction.
