Comment Proxies share key? (Score 1) 84

QUIC is designed so that if a client has talked to a given server before, it can can start sending data without any round trips, which makes web pages load faster.

So, if I have three clients behind a NAT or proxy, do they all share the same TLS key? Does that mean my encryption is compromised in a WiFi environment?

OK, I'll remind you again. Snowden is currently outside the United States. He is releasing information that meets the requirements "by persons located, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States that are reasonably likely to result in, or have materially contributed to, a significant threat to the national security, foreign policy, or economic health or financial stability of the United States..." The President is declaring it a "National Emergency" to be able to use economic means to block access of certain parties to donations.

Section 4 also now blocks some people from entering the US. The President finds that the unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens determined to meet one or more of the criteria in section 1(a) of this order would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and I hereby suspend entry into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, of such persons.

As usual, non-lawyers read something think it means something that makes them upset, and it spreads and no one actually sits down to read the actual law.

Yes, you did.

IANAL, but I think there is much more going on here than meets the eye. Why block people that contribute or materially represent "certain persons"? Is this to prevent Snowden from accessing funds or accepting payments from people wanting him to release specific information? Is this to prevent other parties from accessing assets for him? Much more in play here that I don't understand.

Your post doesn't give enough information to explain why you think $10 is a better price point. I'm assuming you're talking about 60 Watt bulbs, so $22 would be high. For the new 100 Watt bulbs, that is about average. For the new Bright White, omnidirectional, dimmable 100 Watt bulbs, $22 is a little low.

Requiring a drone operator to get a private pilot's license is just another way to discourage commercial use of drones and does nothing to improve the safety of the drone.

It makes about as much sense as requiring a bicyclist to get a motorcycle license or a snorkeler to get a diving certification.

Interesting. I thought only iPhones did audio conferencing and video conferencing. I had guessed that an iPod was just a music player, an iPad was a larger tablet, and iPhone was for communicating.

If you are referring to an iPod doing all those things then it is a strange device indeed.

Just because someone has a college degree doesn't mean they are exposed to concepts outside the scope of their field of studies. How many people could explain the math and science of say, the Doppler shift, if their studies are in Art History, Theology, History, Political Science, Agriculture, Forestry, Pharmacology, or Medicine? And I'm sure those other fields of study include knowledge that they consider very basic concepts that I am unaware of.

Comment Re:Overstamp twice. (Score 1) 133

Why would you need anything resembling the original font? You are trying to disrupt the original number shape enough so that the crystallized pattern remaining after everything is filed off won't resemble the original number.

You could overstamp the original number with a symbol of a duck if this would disrupt the original pattern enough.
