I can easily configure NoScript to only use HTTPS on, say, ¤.cn .
Sites that downgrade-redirects to http:// gets stuck in a loop. Annoying for everyone, so it raises awareness.
The prefs.js syntax is, noscript.httpsForced "¤.cn\n¤.ru\n*.uk"
Edits: ¤ characters are asterisks.

Facebook makes more money. NSA gets another tap in China. China gets to tap and censor Facebook data. They all win, at the people's expense.

o Fix all broken internal links. Xenu's Link Sleuth is good program (and a hilarious name).
o Never remove old pages, just update them. This prevents braking incoming backlinks.
o Take a look at letsencrypt.org. (Avoid halfway-HTTPS like CloudFlare etc)
o (etc)
Cover all the basics and keep the money.

We have proof. So far we already have detected a planet with Earth-like conditions (called Earth). Life formed on it. Possibly several times independantly.
The statistics for life on very earth-like planets are staggering.

How about a 'Block all downgrade Redirects' feature. Many sites supports HTTPS but forces a downgrade redirect, 301 or 302, to http.

The NSA and other agencies around the world already has you targeted. Tor makes you safer. Tor makes you aware of risks. This is also good since you are now better suited to defend yourself accordingly.

It becomes more complicated as they then act on those predictions. Thus mucking up said predictions. And by doing so requires new predictions (expensive guesses).

This suggests quick and dirty code is better than slow and mature code.
Though worse code benefits the most by having well-enough made Comments.

Things that glimmers like gold in phones and computers and wires, are gold plated. It's likely worth the time to pluck out the shiniest parts and save them in a pile. A pile that grows in value over time. And increases in value the larger it gets.
Also, it's fun to take things apart.

Most likely the filesharing is next to be censored. I can smell it a mile away. This has nothing whatsoever to do with bad porn at all. Porn is the excuse to get the censorship framework firmly in place.

World War 3 was mentioned because it was unclear what was going on. I remember myself thinking that if anyone overreacts, things can go from bad to worse. And if that triggers an overreaction response - things could escalate on its own.

Re:The 11th Principle of Good Design
on Tuesday August 28, 2012 @08:33PM (#4446538)
The best designs copies nature. Nature is lazy (energy-efficient) and elegant.
Example. Soap bubbles quickly settles in shapes that are most efficient.
For us humans we're not as intuitive with nature. We have many distractions and conflicting goals. It takes us more, and longer, iterations to figure out these things. We're just not lazy-enough.

Needs slightly more checking against near-duplicates submissions. Sometimes i get a deja vu feeling (maybe it's just a glitch in the matrix).
Though, some important issues that stays current deserves several updated submissions. Those near-dups are good.
