Your argument reads to me as "people kill people not guns". Yea I know, morale is a difficult topic these days.

I am not ignoring the legitimate use cases - and I never said that there weren't any. I simply pointed out that if you work in DPI/filter/blocking and your company sells to those r…

Why do you misquote me? Yes, it might be useful for some folks - it's really bad for others. People have died because of oppressive regimes targeting dissidents that way.

No it isn't. Blocking encrypted calls for millions of user _disables_ safety for exactly those millions.

This case is a brilliant reminder to anyone working in deep packet inspection/blocking/filtering tech that your work negatively affects the safety of millions of people in such cou…

eSports, really? Is that even legal in Germany? http://www.gamblingsites.org/laws/germany/

Looks like it is piping the queries over to scholar.google.com - getting only timeouts right now though.

So it looks like this needs (from EU perspective) another round of lawsuits to get this overthrown again - since the oversight by the US DoC is laughable.

Who had their first website online back then in 1996 as well? raises hand Good memories... Claris Home Page!

What's next with these corporate shizzles? Do I need to pay a cent each time they detect me just looking at their buildings?

Yes. And there are tons of other startups and probably also YC companies involved in heavy scraping, aggregating and selling that information to other folks.

Well, with all the previous relevations we've seen about various 3 and 4 letter agencies, we should have marched long ago.

Thanks for all the insights about the Tomahawks. What OP is refering to is cheaper, smaller and therefore in much more numbers deployable fighting drones. Each and every anti-missi…

That is still relying on comms which I pointed out will be solved eventually (if it hasn't already).

For a few hundred dollars, someone will make the drones self aware with pre planned routings along optically recognizable waypoints. No more need for a comms channel. What then?

Maybe we can argue that "not dangerous" is simply not true? Chernobyl, Fukushima and many other "smaller" accidents happened.

If your system is one of those 10% and if your trading algo is executing fucked up trades because of timing issues and you lose real money - I wouldn't call that exaggerated. Also,…

Greece is much larger than Cyprus, their debt is much bigger in absolute values and the outcome of the current status so unknown that it's very difficult to compare the current cap…

This is really bad for the people of Greece. I have seen small bank runs with my own eyes where folks queued for hours to get their savings rescued. ($bigCorp going down with inter…

Has anyone analyzed the outgoing connections yet? What TLS cipher suites are being used?

And you will be replaced by software writing software.
