Oh wow, and here I thought having clients check that record was the whole point, as a layer of defense against rogue CAs. Thank you so much, I hadn't realized. =)

CAA DNS records aim to make that more difficult, actually, but otherwise AFAIK you're right. =) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_Certification_Authority_Au...

As I understand it, a CA doesn't have a way of MITMing connections just by virtue of them being the one validating the cert for a certain website. You don't share the private keys …

Wow, the visualizations on that article are really well-made. I live in Montreal so it's a very interesting read, thank you for sharing it! =)

I agree with the similarity but as you're saying there was always the possibility of leaving town. It wasn't a convenient solution, and you might very well repeat the same actions …

Yes, is does. However, the amount of electricity used isn't directly correlated with the number of transactions on the network. It instead follows the number of miners validating t…

Ah, good to know. At least the title isn't wrong, even if it's not reflected in the content of the article. Thanks!

I feel like the title might be jumping to conclusions. From the article, emphasis mine: > With this strategic shift, Disney will end its distribution agreement with Netflix for sub…

IMO, Occam's Razor is only meaningful when there are two competing hypothesis, one of which is markedly simpler than the other. Mentioning it in a context of "surely it can't be th…
