This would argue that change of ownership of a domain should be treated equivalently to creation of a domain. Of course, given GDPR (or rather how the registrars have chosen to int…

I'm curious: can anyone provide an interpretation in which this agreement does not boil down to surrender by the US?

California has 11x the population of Utah, with California having around 250 people per square mile and Utah having 40 people per square mile. This probably plays more into the fir…

Science? Maybe in an ideal world. However, how science actually gets done has always been at the mercy of social, cultural, institutional, and/or economic pressures.

Congress neutered itself, largely because it has been politically less risky to let the Executive branch do whatever they want, then either cheer it on or rage against it depending…

No. It's been a while, but I believe if you use multiple TXTs, resolvers can reorder them as they see fit. For example, label IN TXT "foo " IN TXT "bar " IN TXT "baz" You can have …

"The length limit of a DNS TXT record is 255 characters." Nope. That's the maximum length of a TXT record string. TXT record strings with the same owner name get concatenated toget…

As someone on the tail end of that birth cohort (and to quote Monty Python), "I'm not dead yet!". According to BLS (as pointed to by https://usafacts.org/answers/what-is-the-labor-…

Seems the Trump administration is trying to use 1984 as a how-to: “And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed …

My understanding is that this NDA is far broader in scope than CUI. CUI restrictions only apply to information explicitly marked or identified as CUI. The draft NDA would apply to …

How many people in NYC that are buying raw milk do you think are doing so to make cheese or kefir?

If DJB is "hated", it isn't because he's a lone author (Linus Torvalds was once a lone author and I don't think he was hated). It's because he can be an asshole. To quote George Be…

Oh joy. Now the volunteers maintaining the IETF RFC tools get to waste their time trying to prevent folks who think it's cute to litter all over the IETF drafts. I suppose it was i…

I was hoping someone had just shown that DNS was Turing complete (extending https://web.cs.ucla.edu/~todd/research/hotnets21.pdf ). Using the DNS as a remote file store isn't as in…

See "inflation". Look at the outcomes of countries who remove controls on printing money (e.g., Zimbabwe, Venezuela).

Loans, mostly. Artemis costs about $4 billion per mission, with around $90 billion already spent. The war in Iran is costing the US about $1 billion per day, so (as of today), $35 …

This is a bit like saying sound waves have no attribution layer for music. The Internet is a transport medium. It sounds like you are asking if it possible to (somehow) associate u…

Was wondering how long it'd take you to come in and trash talk DNSSEC. And now with added FUD ("and once you press that button it's much less likely that you're going to leave your…
