Telegram refused to provide decryption keys to Russia, US, China governments. That is great sign to me.

Meanwhile Whatsapp has web interface(sic!) where law enforcement agents can request user specific information and probably chat logs for whatever fake reasons they could come up with.

Telegram is 300mil users and growing.

Openvpn.net[1] provides executable for many platforms. Free license is good for 2 consecutive users. 2-minute setup process.

oh yeah my bad. yandex https://yandex.com/support/partner2/joining.html

facebook, yandex, instagram, snapchat, bing, aol, yahoo. not centralised, but there are still some traffic.

Wouldn't it be nice to leave 60$/year to those you really care instead?

Spending Google's money.

No, i just didn't like the wording in the original post mentioning all 'modern workloads' , while ubiquitous thing like cookies in httpclient is still not according to 8 year old standard. Does it make any sense now?

> Where are you running into this issue in a real app?

I had discovered few bugs in cookies handling myself, compared behavior to competitors and moved on. If cookies handling is not enough, i came across inconsistent behavior on different platforms: on Windows it uses WinHttpHandler, on Linux its curl lib(if i remember correctly). And they both handle edge cases differently.

or use different language with good library that support 8-year old RFC.

Well, you expect http library to be as good as everywhere else.. like python requests. When library is not updated due to app compatibility issues i would not call it modern. It is good enough for basic use, tho.

>With .NET Core 3.0, we’re at the point where we’ve ported all technologies that are required for modern workloads

.net HttpClient is based on outdated cookies RFC, RFC6265(that is 8 years old) is yet to be supported [1]. And what can you do today without good http library?

Application is a tool, teacher is a user of given tool. Headline implies that tool is to penalize children, while in reality it is a decision of teacher. If that app would not exist, children were still penalized.

Following your logic we should see headlines like "Hammer kills men"

Explicit is better than implicit, viva Guido!

It's intentional. They post public key, let people crack it for 12 hours, then post private key at the end of the day.

We are heading to AOL-type internet where you enter keyword in address bar and go to a single direction -- shopping, weather, search, stocks, email, etc.

they cant block giving hand (google)

Eventually your questions will be answered by humans and added to database.

Economy is not zero sum. By working you create added value.

i see no difference between 8$ and 20$ branded item. They all manufactured in China, probably at the same plant.

viewing source of webpage is not hacking.

Finding abuser is not hard, every message sent have customer id encoded in headers.

It's naive to think they don't compress.

> We are a selfish species that deserves to go extinct. Have you ever considered that?

Totally agree. The Earth will handle that.

How about we put all these 'oopses' in one place and keep updating?

RSA encryption is potentially exploitable by quantum computing. Still people are using it everywhere.

i am an early user of wire. Logged in few weeks ago just to find out they took my username. Support say non-sense and now they just ignore my messages.

active customer for like 2 years, no issues with my 3 euro/mo instances

How much cold is 'very cold'?

No matter what time frame 1-2% is 1-2%.
