The next time they will add a paintball gun turret.

What could you do about that? Authentication is not an option, rate limiters and CAPTCHAs probably not. Approval from the key owner? Search by known keys, exposing your list of public keys? Update the tools so they search through 150k keys more efficiently? Move to a closed CA model? Disband the public key server system and find alternate ways?

What about Proof of Work? Raise the cost of every PGP signature submission high enough and spam problem will go away.

Remember Palm? They begun to talk about nice bright logo exactly when their shit hit the fan. Usually companies talk about logo change when they are in trouble...

I run my own mail server since 1997, and today I find more and more problems from Google than from any spam messages. Spam is relatively easy to deal with, but Google rejecting your messages out of blue isn't. Their internal anti-spam logic punishes small mail servers, no matter what you do. Reverse zone, spf, dmarc, whatever. Sometimes messages from my server pass to @gmail emails for months and sometimes don't. Google does not provide any choice, nothing lands into spam folder, nothing. They just randomly filter anything they don't like. Basically, if you want to be sure while sending message to Google user you have to use gmail account. And that's the problem.

Try SeaMonky. It is Mozilla's original web browser, and it does everything Firefox can, but with more features, and somehow less bloat. Alas, it does not support many useful extensions, especially Scrapbook. Without Scrapbook I can't move anywhere, I have a large library of saved data and I have to continue to use it.

But would people actually want to OWN a self-driving car? It seems to me that they would be perfect for public transport: when you need to go somewhere, you attract one with your phone app, pay what amounts to a bus ticket, and go to your destination.

No. Just think what's going to happen -- you want to go to work at 8:00, your neighbors are going to their work (somewhere else) and suddenly there is serious shortage of self-driving taxis during rush hour. And today you were unlucky one and had to wait an hour or two. And now you are fired.

This alone is the reason to own self-driving car, just to be sure that you'll always have one.

Another reason is that public transport is always going to be neglected and filthy, while you can keep your car clean. Also you can keep a lot of necessary things in your car without ever forgetting them (like blood pressure meter). Etc, etc.

No. Don't forget that the world is not flat and not everyone has the money to buy non-cheap stuff. Most people from around the world don't have the luxury of choosing between good and crap, there is only choice between crap and nothing. There IS huge demand for lower price and chinese follow it, that's all. Just look at aliexpress orders, there are buyers from all parts of the world.

Recently I printed a very complicated start lever for my friend's chainsaw on my crappy $200 anet printer and it saved him from buying another chainsaw (replacement part is more expensive than chainsaw). Another case were some clips for an old Soviet fridge. Printer quality was more than enough to do these jobs.

Yes, printer quality is crap, acrylic parts cracked and half of year later anet board went bad and I had to replace it with standard arduino/ramps sandwich. Yet, it was light years better than fucking NOTHING, because I don't live in USA and I don't have usanian salary to buy "non-cheap" stuff (which is often same stuff from chinese, just rebranded and may be little tested).

There are two key problems that have to be solved before FDM printers obtain "just works" ability:

1. You really can't fight warping problems without heated chamber! All heatbeds, PEI sheets & co are just bandaids. But heated chamber is patented and that insane patent expires in 2019 I think. Then we'll see much better quality prints.

2. Second problem is much worse. Even the same plastic from the same manufacturer but of different color requires seriously different tuning. You can't obtain "just works" without tight control on everything: machine, plastic source, slicer... and you know what happens then: manufacturer can't resist jacking up price to insane levels, using chips, etc, etc.

While #1 problem is going away within a few years, #2 is huge and can't be solved without some kind of manufacturer-independent filament profile standard and good luck designing that.

Checklists help, but many people are incapable of using them on regular basis. Period. Just like many people can't run marathon distances or lift 200kg weight.

The only real solution is some kind of warm body detector connected to car's alarm system. Doors locked + body insde = alarm, always.

No. People used to test their shit in IE 6.0 and assumed that all screens are 1024 pixels wide.

Nothing changed, really.

No. That's a pure fantasy. There is a well-known fact that during Stalin's regime many homes had guns. ESPECIALLY rural homes where millions were taken and executed. Village people always had guns. And their guns did not matter. Guns don't matter when people around sit and pray that police is not after THEM and hope that they will arrest somebody else today. And may be tomorrow.

That's how totalitarian state works. Guns don't not matter, alas. Funny thing, it was easy to obtain a shotgun or a rifle during soviet time, only hunter's paper needed and it was easy to get. They begin to restrict guns heavily during 80s and placed insane restrictions during last 20 years.

Well, it's time to create another rating agency that monitors long-term health like outsourcing staff, cutting QA, etc and publishes ratings accordingly.

Of couse it will. Because morons like you prevented it from being widespread and included in every distribution as standard part of encryption. Catch 22...

And if volume supports thousands of filesystems inside one volume and you turned out your primary password (with browser to browse banks and banking information, filesystem #4011) and your second password (let's say with granny porn, filesystem #517), will they demand password from filesystem #2301? Filesystem #511? Huh? At some point it becomes ridiculous. Yes, you had something that you really did not want to reveal, but here it is, officer. It's quite different from truecrypt's double filesystem with only ONE secondary volume.

It is encrypted filesystem's task to carefully shuffle all sectors, overwriting non-used sectors with random data as well to avoid wear leveling analysis. If you boot into decoy system sometimes and browse a little (let's say doing your regular banking) then it is NOT a decoy after all, no matter how you investigate modification time.

Such a system is much more difficult to design than two-part system like truecrypt's. Doable? Yes. For example, today ram is cheap, so just load all encrypted filesystems into ram and work there, then dump back, overwriting remaining free space with random junk. Fragile, but quite doable and close to impossible to analyze. Or may be something else, but with expert morons throwing shit and derailing civilized discussion there is no such system, alas.

Can you please climb down from your ivory tower? This is exactly the problem with experts: you think in binary -- all or nothing. But we live in non-ideal world and encounter many non-ideal situations.

Let's look at the person entering some country and customs demanding to open his password manager. They know *nothing* about his password manager content, but still demand to open it, well, just because they can. Casual search. Now here is tough choice -- to give up all valuable passwords, including passwords to something that's going to lead into the jail or refuse to give up password and be thrown out of country. Nice choice, mister expert? Now only if password manager had thousands of decoys by design -- it would be unreasonable demand thousands passwords while the person cooperated...

The same applies to your notebook being investigated because you've lost it and somebody turned it to the police. They have zero evidence that you have cp or something like that on the disk, but they see encrypted volume and demand to open it. Again, because they can demand and they are in random search for something -- and the very act of decryption refusal serves as the reason for serious investigation while sufficient decoy is going to satisfy them. Again, non-black-and-white situation, no binary.

Is it going to work against torture? No. Is it going to work if customs have some tip from CIA or something like that? No. But it would work in many realworld situations.

But alas, experts think only about extremities.
