    Correct. We did have a similar to Huawei exploit from Intel in the not too distant past. Difference is 'Mericans want to crucify Huawei because 'Merica.

  3. Re:DIY VPN is not a solution... on How Can You Decide Which VPN To Trust? (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    If you want an encrypted connection with an exit point in country X, are you going to buy and pay for a server in country X?

    Something like that, it's easy.

    What about country Y?

    Even easier than country X

    How are you going to pay for and maintain those exit points anonymously?

    Same way you pay for your commercial *anonymous* vpn, except that I have bit more control over things. And my vpn isn't some target for mass surveillance like a commercial vpn solution. And I can actually know that no logs means no logs, to an extent at least.

    And anyway, if only you and maybe a few friends/family are using it, traffic analysis can make the VPN encryption pretty much useless.

    That is a valid concern for a few people who have need for a vpn, but it's even easier to overcome that the trivial setup of the vpn to begin with. So if you happen to be among the vast minority of vpn users who need to disguise traffic patterns you have a ton of options when running DIY.

    but also the anonymity that occurs when your traffic is mixed with thousands of other users.

    Prove your anonymity. That is the point of DIY.

    What is this USA of which you speak? Because of how you describe it, I know it's not related to the SOTU tonight.

  5. I didn't dig into it, but it certainly can't be most popular either. How many people do you believe hold "It Happened One Night" in high regard as a measure of popularity? Just some stupid algorithm by a site that should have the resources to do much better.

    Having to order screws from China doesn't mean you can't put an Assembled in the USA emblem on the unit.

  10. People always conflate blockchain with something worthwhile.

    Yes, XRP sucks, it's vulnerable and doesn't solve any issues with money or payments. There are many other methods of spending money out there that don't suffer XRP's shortcomings.

    For example Verified by Visa transactions can be settled in 4 seconds.

  11. (2) Because they don't distinguish between waste (a) and time consuming functionality (b)

    If you are looking for profilers to analyze your code for inefficiencies, then you have a different definition of profiler than I believe most high lever users do. Profilers are there to make a representation of where time/cycles are spent in code. It is up to the author to analyze and act upon such information. And profiling is extremely useful provided you understand the code and infrastructure. You are correct in one way though, it useless for optimization provided you don't know the very basics of programming.

  12. At least I don't hide behind a monicker.

    Ok, DaMattster.

  13. Why would Nintendo expect customers to pay for cloud storage when it is not transferable to local?

    Seems like there's dummies enough to go around.

    Ah, well if you are going to use a silly definition of the word exist you ought to have a disclaimer lest reality will collide with you. There are enormousness amount of things which aren't on the market yet still exist. Driverless cars have existed for nearly 2 decades by my estimation. This isn't about flying cars which an entirely different story.
