I believe DANE addresses this (and other things, which is what makes it complicated).
If the system changes so that browsers only trust national CAs, then the next eMudhra will open a Delaware corporation.
> Why isn't there a mechanism where a domain owner can specify which CA it allows?
CAA records do this, but only for issuance, not for use, so it only protects against eg. unexpected domain validation, because the CA has to respect the CAA record. Extending that to use seems like a logical step to me.
circa 2007, Youtube had been around for two years already.

Alexa devices know what room they're in, so if I say "turn off the lights" in the kitchen, the kitchen lights turn off. But if I say "turn off the living room lights" in the kitchen, the living room lights turn off.
(If I have to physically move to a different room to send a voice command about that room I lose a ton of convenience, and the whole point of home automation is convenience!)
I mean .config is a newcomer, it's only been around for 23 years. Dotfiles in the home directory goes back to 1971!
And because of that, they indicate time-in-incident, and not impact time. Status pages don't start the clock when the impact begins, and that might be minutes or hours before the initial status page post that _does_ start the clock.
I was glad to know about caveman when Opus 5 started doing its Opus 5 things.
The funny thing is that one reason that cities, utilities etc. keep posting on Twitter is that it's integrated into their internal systems (or at least to something like Hootsuite that handles multiple social platforms). I'd be very surprised if they're sharing a Twitter password.
Huh. I thought they used to also do sentiment analysis of social media (Twitter, at least). I see that they definitely don't today, but has that always been the case?
> a fifth? a fifth of what?
Fifth (ordinal), not fifth (fraction).
That's why a whole tone is called a "second", not a "half".
(That's DMARC, to save others the trouble.)
The problem DMARC solves is different than the problem the PSL solves, though. DMARC prevents a 3LD from pretending to be a different 3LD on the same 2LD. But the PSL handles things like what it means to make a "cross-site request" or how to handle cookies.
I mean now I'm thinking if DMARC _could_ solve that... but I don't think it could, unless I'm missing some extension or rare use case.
They'll get their 15 minutes, but there's no _there_ there. They're owned by System1, a bottom-of-the-barrel advertising company where 1990s web brands go to die (Metacrawler? Startpage.com?? Dogpile?!?!). Their maps are OpenStreetMaps maps.
People think they have their back (because OSM is showing Lake Ontario), but it's just marketing.
Occasionally I'll see a screenshot of Merlin with, I dunno, a dozen different birds, and in the middle of the list: a catbird. I never have the heart to tell people that they just heard one very creative bird.

Wikipedia usually has the most recent domains for sites like this. There's even a browser extension[1] that uses an `.idk` TLD to say "Look up the latest URL from this site's Wikipedia article".

It's my impression that the killer robot industry has focused primarily on dog-shaped robots over human. Being bipedal gave us a lot of advantages, but "incredibly fast runner" isn't one of them.
Usain Bolt is incredibly fast for a human, but cheetahs are twice as fast still (and, presumably, can climb stairs too).
I do appreciate the engineering achievement on its own, but there seems to be an implied "and will replace humans" vibe here that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
It works, but the problem is that you then have to do that in every repo you clone, it gets annoying.
It's been a while since I visited Japan, but one thing I remember is that people tend to not "walk and eat" there. So you buy your konbini sandwich and sit on the benches in front of the konbini to eat it and throw the packaging out there, or bring it home with you.
Guessing the X was to disable it without disabling it.
I'm not sure what bullying a car entails, but does that mean you're allowed to bully cars without those symbols?
And the American symbols symbolize what they signify, too. A stylized wheelchair to indicate physical mobility. An ear with a line through it to indicate deafness. Less poetic, maybe, but the point is to communicate.
Only 17? This one's 783 better!
The reason they don't (and won't) have an NRR rating is that they're only useful for constant noise, and not for impulse sounds. There's no question that Airpods are not industrial PPE, for instance.
But I also ride with foamies most of the time (laser lites) and airpods occasionally, and I'd guess that the bike and wind are maybe 10-15% louder with airpods. The foamies win out for actually staying in my ears when I put my helmet on, but if I can get it on then the airpods stay in place fine.
Surprisingly, when I was looking for a rough equivalent to NRR for Airpods, I discovered that Apple does advertise their ANC as hearing protection[1], which I'll assume the FDA has now permitted, because Apple didn't used to make that claim because the FDA wouldn't permit it. They don't offer an NRR and they do warn against impulse sounds, but that KB article suggests a 20dB drop, which is nothing compared to foamies but is in the same range as musicians' earplugs or hardhat earmuffs, and probably better than Loops.

They don't block out loud things or ambulances approaching you. They block out
constant loud background noise. This is why they're good for airplanes, lawn mowers, motorcycles and being out in public, and not good for shooting or as industrial hearing protection.
As I mentioned in another comment, on an airplane, my airpods in ANC mode make it easier for me to hear announcements.
+1, but add a motorcycle to that list too. Not Miami, but a large city, and now a smaller city.
All the assertions I'm seeing in this thread are bizarre to me. One can easily hear a siren over noise cancellation and over wind noise, and it's even easier to hear if you have noise cancellation for that wind noise.
As a related example, when I'm on an airplane and I have noise-cancelling headphones on, the pilot announcements are easier to hear than without them.
