Ah! I thought I had seen it on HN before... :)

> It this supported anywhere?

I've seen it in place at the Chaos Communication Congress in 2014, I used it with a couple of clients without issues. Not sure what was used or how much effort the configuration was.

tl;dr WPA2-PSK doesn't do AP authentication.

Care to elaborate on the client support? AFAIK, all major operating systems support WPA Enterprise (I've used it with Mac, Linux, Windows, iOS and Android).

Except that the author was an early adopter of technology. Definitely not a luddite.

Because going to Wikipedia, waiting for it to load and then searching is a two-step process, while writing a query with a !w is only one step.

Just as a reminder, ”instant“ communication is not really instant. There is latency, it increases with the number of cars involved and it’s not negligible for safety purposes (e.g. emergency braking).

When you say it crashes while loading medium-big images, do you mean really? As in the whole OS crashes, or just the app?

Just a RMS quote from the latest FOSDEM: the Free Software movement takes some ideas from capitalism, some from socialism and some from anarchism. (Quoted from memory)

Unfortunately I can't give you a verifiable source, but the whole talk will be available at http://video.fosdem.org/2016/ud2218a/ at some point.

BGPStream [1] and RIPEstat[2], indicate that they also briefly announced prefix 87.23.14.0/24, belonging to a major Italian telco.

In the graphics, they are spread apart because they are substantially less than half (all the others choose to stand). Walking sure requires a larger spacing, but I would say 1.5-2 times the regular one, not 10.

The existence of a “feature” that relies on UA strings being consistent across domains, with the potential to “brick YouTube entirely in a user-visible way for all Firefox 43 users in Europe”[1], is quite worrying to be honest.

One of the few movies where a hacker uses Windows.

> The universal symbol for a city’s Metro system is a big “M.”

Except in Germany, where it's a big “U” (for U-Bahn).

I see it like this: 1) let the user handle the security updates of the JVM; 2) push out security updates in a centralised, controlled fashion.

IMHO, in a corporate solution like that described in the OP, 2) makes a lot more sense.

Maybe some sort of "this is not the real hn" and "we are not endorsed by ycombinator" could be good.

So what's your definition of an "actual OS"?

What does "multiple TCP paths" mean? TCP does not deal with paths (routing/forwarding). Is it just a typo for "connections" or does the library really use multiple paths where available?

But when you're transferring files, you usually want reliability. They could have used UDP and implemented reliability in the application, but would that have saved overhead? I don't think so.

EDIT: By the way, you source is about 802.11b. Very specific case, and also quite old.

I don't seem to be able to use the hyphen (-) in text, it gets interpreted as a space (even when I URL-encode it as '%2D').
