It is also exceedingly unlikely that you have greater density of anycast PoPs than Cloudflare's 200+. In your case, you have zero...
Cloudflare has over 200 PoPs; in your own name servers, you can use the Cloudflare Resolver's IP (which will be a "close to the user" IP, not 1.1.1.1) to do geotargeting and serve from your closest IP address/server.
Here’s one: https://freerangecloud.com/cart.php?gid=11
Cloudflare’s Argo Tunnel is another great option.
A bold claim without evidence. In fact, the opposite may be true [1]. This is but one counterpoint; another notable problem is the centralization of bitcoin mining in China [2].

Meanwhile, this[2] is a terrible source but some of the info can easily be verified. We know that China was researching exactly this type of virus and gain of function in Wuhan after the U.S. stopped due to “biosafety and biosecurity risks” exceeding benefits. [3]. The US explicitly ended that line of research due to the risks; China continued it.

The only question is different interpretations of “fake”: it is a real system dialogue, invoked by a deprecated API; it is fake in that the text is set by Zoom to trick the user into allowing it to install itself without approval.
Republican ideology is abhorrent; one doesn’t have to be part of the Democratic Party to recognize that.

We have certificate transparency to help address that, and were DANE to be in actual use similar systems would quickly appear, for example using the RIPE Atlas.
DANE is not a backdoor. To exercise it as one would require replacing operator-controlled keys with government (or other) keys. This would be no less visible than doing the same with an existing certificate authority.
Would like to hear more on your allegation regarding DANE.
Your post is strikingly similar to a modern “let them eat cake”.
What does your idea of economic theory suggest for the masses living paycheck to paycheck due to ever increasing wealth inequality as capital begets capital, facing loss of income due to the virus?
Should they be priced out of buying food so that the rich and privileged can continue to do as they please?
We are all standing on the shoulders of giants, building on the work of those who came before us.
Therefore, to the greatest extent possible, our work should be available for all to build upon to the benefit of society.
Music is a more pure creative endeavor; artists generate a specific instance that is unique to them. Copyright applies in the same way that it does to a specific implementation of a program or algorithm.
Software patents fill the role you ask about for programmers. Some companies name their employees in patents, some don’t; and some “programmers” patent their ideas on their own. However, it is quite expensive to apply for a patent.
In addition, it is seemingly impossible to develop any new technology without infringing on unknown patents even for obvious ideas that you can have independent independently. Thus the balance is weighted toward large companies, who may have patent portfolios they can use defensively.
In summary, software patents are an abomination and the reason that programmers are not like musicians.

I’m saying what I said, nothing more.

TFA explains how the system was added, it’s absurd and intellectually dishonest to interpret my post as saying what you wrote.
This is a very dangerous statement to make.
Large systems are not like hackathon projects where you might understand and hold the entire scope and flow in your mind.
Software absolutely can and does lead to unintended outcomes, else there would be no bugs.

Okay, so... what is their plan to get these five million .org registrants to “agree”?
The article seems to be entirely fluff.
Computers can cut ads that do tracking out of the page with the same effort they can cut out anything else from the page.
The difference is that ads without tracking remove the incentive for the user to block them. This is why people don’t cut ads out of the newspapers before reading. If the ads in newspapers were cameras, analogous to the tracking used in online advertising, you’d see people expend that effort. Just as you see people blocking ads online.
Is it?
You can access some 10 stories, not much more. There is no apparent functionality beyond that.
At least for NPR, their text interface is a step in the right direction - but a slap in the face at the same time.
So why do we let people tell us it can’t be done on the internet?
