I like the idea of genius as derived from genus, and meaning something like a particular kind of excellence, an exemplar of its kind, something's characteristic disposition. One can think of there being not one class of geniuses, but t

No doubt Google considers it a best practice, because they are in the business of knowing what people do on the internet. How often will a browser get the jquery for a particular website or check with the CDN? There are a lot of jquery vers

In addition, the blog post uses Google Fonts and jquery from a Google CDN. Could people please consider using a non-Google CDN for things that affect webpage functionality? Those of us that block HTTP requests to Google servers will then al

I read the Share Lab metadata report, based on an examination of the metadata in the headers of the emails exchanged between Hacking Team members. The level of detail this provides on the network and on the individual members of the team is

This is probably an unusual opinion, but for me privacy is similar to freedom. Freedom is usually defined as a negative: people are free of oppression, have freedom of speech (freedom from speech being constrained), freedom of movement (not

It would be better if scripts like jquery were not encrypted. This forces users to use e.g. a google service instead of caching/hosting the scripts themselves or getting them from another CDN. I do not understand why so many people do

The "Year of the Linux Desktop" has been a running joke for a long time, but perhaps it's no longer a joke. Not wanting to lose control as far as updates and privacy is concerned, I switched to Linux when Windows 10 came out.
