Hmm, true. But perhaps you could mitigate this with cookies as OP suggests. Simply don't return anything unless the GET request has a valid intranet cookie? Or perhaps the client can tell the server what webpage it's…
the purpose of having engineers write software is that they can transparently prove that it works reliably, and they can be professionally held accountable and learn if it fails. You're suggesting that reliability…
Steam isn't a monopoly. I, and everyone I know who uses steam is familiar with GOG or Epic games or Battle.net or some other service. You can even distribute your game independently (e.g. in the case of minecraft and…
> Would any OEM dare to use workarounds to install windows 11 on not officially supported hardware? I feel like most OEMs would simply upgrade the hardware no questions asked. Simply because should any problem occur,…
Sure, it's motivated by a bit of license turnover like you suggest. But mostly it's a case of securing their OS against adversaries (including their users). You can lock down the system a lot more with TPM on your side:…
It's pretty much how every cryptocurrency works, with separation of public (receive) and private (send) keys. The fact that invoices are temporary in LN is a weakness of the design, not an intentional choice. The…

> It's just statecraft and covert influence campaigns I'm sure that has something to do with it, but such campaigns are catalyzed by china's military aggression in the south pacific. Morality is an afterthought.
How difficult is it to test your site on the 3 major browser engines? I have done some web development before and when I'm on linux, I just test my site with chromium, firefox, and epiphany. I think the onus is on the…
I wonder if you could create a national or federated ID system that takes advantage of blind signatures/ZKP to improve privacy. For example, you could create an unlimited number of identities to hand out to different…
Good news loyal customer, we now support 2-factor authentication! ... over SMS!
How about this: without barcodes, you can't replace your clerks with self-checkout machines
It doesn't need to be a national ID, it could just operate on a state-level like drivers licenses currently do.
Why do programming books always have some random unrelated illustration on the front? Usually when you have a textbook, they will have some nice illustration that is tangentially related to the content of the book (like…
Sort of. The solution i'm suggesting would occupy the "decentralized" and "secure" position of zooko's triangle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooko%27s_triangle). Whereas the problem that Namecoin, ENS, and others…
It's true that china has been developing anti-satellite weapons recently (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASAT_program_of_China). To respond in kind with "kinetic" weapons as mentioned sets a dangerous precedent for…
Are you being sarcastic? Historically, programs like SDI have had a destabilizing effect on nuclear war due to the dynamics of MAD
makes me wonder if there is some sort of generic CAD for processes that involve bending and folding. For example, knitting fabric, bending wire, bending sheet metal, tying knots. For example, you could have a parametric…
a domain is a big ask for some p2p applications. Not only does it cost money, but you have to interact with a (central) domain registry, which defeats the purpose. There really ought to be a system (like .onion services…
Another example that comes to mind is iroh, a p2p filesharing system (https://www.iroh.computer/)

Sounds like Gridcoin. The problem with these systems is that it's difficult to write a useful proof-of-work scheme that produces useful work as side effect. So you have a loss of decentralization vs conventional…
Yes, ironically increased transparency and more secure systems will lead to less freedom for the user, because trusted computing is most often securing the interests of manufacturers against users (what RMS refereed to…
