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 regimes, that you support the oppression of th

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 countries at once.

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.

That is not only unethical that is also illegal in some countries. Also, this is the reason why you should have FB platform a) turned off and b) disallow that your friends "bring your data with them when they use apps".

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-missile site, be it fixed or portable has it's limits on wha

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

by spacefight 11y ago
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, not sure if any of the systems mentioned in the articl

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 capital controls against those implemented in Cyprus.

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 internal bank). Bad sad bad.

One should sue for trademark violation. I'll chip in if anyone is fundraising.

Yes. I have said it before and I say it again: Cloudflare (and any other large CDNs) are a perfect setup for a MITM or a perfect target for a nation-state's secret service.
