Suggesting that is all well and good, but surely the concern is that the process will inevitably end after 4), or even 1) since "it works" and there are other higher priorities?

> One of the best ways to get fares down is to burn less fuel.

Edit: Removed the previous comment text here as I misread/misunderstood. This isn't just about the cost of the fuel, it's also about what you can do with the same amount if you burn it slower.

I'd definitely recommend clicking through that article and reading the source of the announcement:

https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/m/#!msg/blink...

> As captured in Chrome’s Root Certificate Policy, root certificate authorities are expected to perform a number of critical functions commensurate with the trust granted to them. This includes properly ensuring that domain control validation is performed for server certificates, to audit logs frequently for evidence of unauthorized issuance, and to protect their infrastructure in order to minimize the ability for the issuance of fraudulent certs.

> On the basis of the details publicly provided by Symantec, we do not believe that they have properly upheld these principles, and as such, have created significant risk for Google Chrome users. Symantec allowed at least four parties access to their infrastructure in a way to cause certificate issuance, did not sufficiently oversee these capabilities as required and expected, and when presented with evidence of these organizations’ failure to abide to the appropriate standard of care, failed to disclose such information in a timely manner or to identify the significance of the issues reported to them.

i.e. they apparently weren't even checking requesters controlled the domain they requested a certificate for in some instances!! And that's pretty much the only requirement for DV certificates?

My point is that the legacy ssl providers you're referring to were doing less checks than Lets Encrypt!

I felt the context was adequately explained at the start of the second paragraph:

  I was talking to a friend the other day about content distribution networks online.
  By this I mean a graph of interactions between people publishing the content and people consuming the content.

He apparently had his paperwork in order and was rejected when he tried to travel.

Spin it however you like, but the fact is that he was denied entry into the US?

Whether or not he can pay (time, money) to go in the future is irrelevant to being denied today?

Regarding the entire esta vs visas... I'm lucky enough to have passed painlessly through VISA and I don't understand the difference between them? You have to apply for both? You have to provide your identity documents, information about yourself, payment? The only difference I can see is that you don't need to visit an embassy? Why do we draw a distinction, other than marketing?

In your experience, has the leader of the political party opposing your beliefs always told the truth in the past?

It's frustrating they couldn't warn him prior to the hour of travel? I find it difficult to believe they'll have rejected him for something they couldn't have contacted him about days or weeks ago. With ESTA they've got perfect contact details too?

I assume he's lost the price of the flight? Travel insurance wouldn't repay it?

Anecdotally, I've seen banks claim the reason for $something_bad was a virus on a chromebook.

Whether or not there's 'been a single case of fraud or loss attributed to "screen-scraping"', I believe most banks are more than happy to blame you by default and make it difficult/expensive to resolve.

And that's the same both on and offline.

Sure you can behave badly to a point and there's nothing anybody can really do.

But there's a line you can cross after which... it's not your choice...

You can't behave badly in meatspace and expect to maintain anonymity either.

Say for example if you cause damage? You might be arrested, ordered to provide compensation etc.?

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compat... will tell you.

I've sometimes been instructed to login with 2fa code+password joined in the single field. It's rarely worked.

Those proprietary 2FA devices are just TOTP with a weird provisioning system.

You can use a tool such as https://github.com/dlenski/python-vipaccess to use google authenticator/freeotp etc. to access paypal.

That said... I believe you still need a mobile number enrolled to enable a token.

I don't see the difference between your answer and his?

Both asked about recent pen use, both responded based on that?

I think the point was that even when the phone is dropped on a corner, the glass cracks?

Toughening the corners doesn't seem to help that.

One thing not mentioned there is exit statuses. I think they're just as important a thing to think about, up there with what arguments to accept.

Defining "non-executable" is then an interesting exercise...

> You’ve likely guessed it by now, but the Linux gstreamer media playback framework supports playback of SNES music files by…. emulating the SNES CPU and audio processor, courtesy of Game Music Emu. How cool is that?

> Imagine your government made it mandatory to leave keys in a certain place so police could enter a property in a hurry.

I'm sure this actually happened somewhere in the US... it might just have been proposed but I distinctly remember reading about mailbox-like containers at the bottom of drives locked with a master key. Does anyone else?

Edit: More than once apparently, "lockbox" was the term I was missing when googling earlier: http://wcfcourier.com/news/local/update-cedar-falls-city-cou... http://archive.northjersey.com/community-news/2.4225/rescuer...

This is the one game (apart from maybe Super Hexagon...) which has always been reinstalled on new phones/installs.

It's definitely because they are both fun & simple?

Smart phones these days may be more capable, but great graphics don't make a great game.

I don't think that's necessarily true... but I don't think anyone's cracked it yet either.

There's https://www.car2go.com which ran for a year or so in my city but has since shut down. You could leave the car within the bounds of the city.

There are also various bike schemes with a similar idea?

Naïve answer : We humans drive cars despite only visual and audio information? We interpret and often miss things or get fooled by optical illusions. I remember a great story a year or two back about one of Google's cars "weirdly" stopping, before the reporter realised it'd somehow seen through a hedge and noticed a cyclist about to pop into view?

I imagine lidar gets you one step closer to the data you're really after.

There are a dozen examples of similar incidents in this thread alone.

I've not witnessed such an incident first hand, but as soon as I do I'll likely think "wow, they weren't kidding" and lose all respect for union activities from one incident.

Ahh of course. Apologies for missing that.

Check out their front page: https://www.rackspace.com/

Their own cloud isn't mentioned on it. They've obviously been putting their eggs in the consultancy basket for 6 months now,

Hell, even if you go to cloud in the menu, they're only advertising other clouds: https://www.rackspace.com/cloud You have to go through the 'Infrastructure' menu to find their own cloud offerings.

I'm wondering how long before we get notice we need to migrate away from them due to impending shutdowns.

Every UK bank I've used allows some format of csv/qif/ofx export.

Are you in the US?

Not just those, Nvidia drivers!

Here's one such claim: https://securelist.com/blog/incidents/75731/good-morning-and...

Why not just send that OTP to their phone immediately if someone has trouble logging in?

> "subject to conditions set by all EU27 so they cannot be used as a procedural device or abused in an attempt to improve the actual terms of the United Kingdom's membership."

Is an interesting quote. It implies that everyone has to be in agreement? So one country could veto our remaining?

I'm assuming any remaining being agreed would also be subject to us losing special privileges we enjoyed yesterday.

Who knows what the final process will be following negotiations & interpretations.

I've been wondering about this as I thought the same.

In the last few days though many news outlets have been using phrases such as "irrevocable process" and it's plainly not clear what the situation is. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/0/date-will-article-50-trigg...
