wow. The hero worship is strong with you. I agree that he has accomplished some pretty cool things, but calling him a "once-in-a-century" or "once-in-a-generation" person ignores a…

It's not surprising, consider the failure modes: - a key is made public, and we have to call a user or refund them (for retention purposes) - a key is made public, and we revoked t…

Hmm, I wonder if Alphabet will spin up a made at Google alternative to Let's Encrypt?

No, you are not. You have an illusion of control over your vehicle, and while you may have a measure of operability, the actual control of your vehicle is depending on the correct …

Then that recruiter should schedule themselves for a rectal occipital extraction :)

Nah, self driving electric vehicles with 6 seats operating on an UberPOOL model will dominate, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the UberPOOL model be extended to a subscription…

They don't need to be cheaper, they need to deliver better service. Depending on the city, better might be faster, more available, less racist, less intense experience, cleaner, et…

Wait, are you talking about browsers or AV now :D

Yep, and that sure is nice if you are living in a country or region that has fast, cheap data. I don't buy into enough of the eco system, but do Apple devices sharing an Apple ID t…

Yeah buddy, I don't know where you live, but I grew up in northern Manitoba, lived in Winnipeg, and in other parts of rural southern Manitoba. I have family throughout Alberta and …

It's really nice that you feel that way, but I hope to hell I don't need to use software you designed. "Look and feel" and "Aesthetics" are core components of usable computer softw…

Right, so you can run the dns01 challenge on a separate service, up to and including running it in jenkins to automatically renew and push your certs, and kick the nginx server. I …

Have a separate host that handles all of the renewals (e.g. dns01 challenge), then pushes the updated cert to your webserver and reloads the nginx (or whatever process is required …

> 1) Why did it take so long for an open source version to come into existence ? Open source tools to run a CA / PKI have existed for a good long time, they just haven't been easy …

> Why not just make it open source? It is. > And let other people work on it and just cover 3 people managing this + architecture costs. Um, Lets Encrypt, in the course of the last…

>Perhaps reasonably priced wildcard and/or EV certs, while leaving regular certs at the "free" price level? IDK, wildcard certs encourage really bad practices, and I don't see the …

> Reduction in global inequality? I don't know what you mean. Contrast the distribution of available technology across the globe throughout history. While there are still pockets o…

> Why, because we have almost completely fucked up our home planet and will have to abandon it in few years. Yes, we did. I don't know that we will have to abandon it, but we do kn…

I think you underestimate the importance and cost of the artificial lighting :P On the moon it means you need enough solar power in batteries to power your gear, and to power appro…

Tizen has one of the same problems that Firefox OS had - no real foothold with users. I have a Samsung Gear, Samsung TV, Samsung phone, and 0 Samsung apps, other than what ships wi…

Well, in fairness, David Bryant joined Mozilla in mid-2015 and Ari Jaaksi in late 2015; Firefox OS was dead in the water before either joined. The leadership problems exist above t…

> The single biggest win is if we could load a library in another process and make cross-process calls to it. What? Setting aside the fact that this can already be done in numerous…

So yeah, that means roughly 80% percent of the sites on the internet will be affected, but not the 20% that employ competent, well staffed infosec teams. Good to know :) Seriously …

no shortage of fiction covering that scenario...

Do you think those are physical switches in cars with tactile components? All of that UX stuff is still backed by a controller. If they are going to proved a remote display, i woul…
