>The "problem" is noone cares and certainly doesn't want to pay for the costs, especially the end users
Well I care. I’d pay a premium to a telco that prioritized security and privacy. But they all are terrible, hovering up data, selling it indiscriminately and not protecting it. If they all suck then the default is to use the cheapest.
It’s definitely why I use Apple devices because I can buy directly from Apple and they don’t allow carriers to install their “junkware”.
On the other hand very few organizations I have worked at could definitely restore backups (at least it was not tested regularly) and logs will eventually roll off.
That’s exactly what Google is hoping will happen. If QUIC is blocked entirely, there’s no risk that small tweaks to the quic protocol will break Google’s websites for any companies using these tools.
Well, my company is doing it already. They split VPN traffic depending on the target domain (mostly for benign reasons), and that can't do it with QUIC, so they have to block QUIC traffic.
When this kind of VPN clients do split traffic based on domains, they do it with some tricks, either via DNS or capturing traffic on the browser, or similar things.
But for doing split VPN with IP addresses they need to create an IP route in the VPN client. If you just have a couple IPs, it's fine, but if you have a couple hundred targets, you're gonna break some guys Windows or Mac machine sending that huge routing table.
Also, there are targets that change IP addresses. For example, AWS Elastic Load Balancers change IP addresses sometimes (if nothing have changed in the last years, haven't deployed ELBs in a while...).
You said this much more constructively that I might - I really dislike when people post long form stuff on X/Twitter. For those who may not know you can reply to a tweet with “@threadreaderapp unroll” to have a reconstructed doc sent to you. The bot will reply directly to you and only you after the unrolling is complete. Hope that helps someone.
I know this one has been fixed, but I also find those an annoyance - more so because if you're not logged in on twitter, you only see the first tweet, not the thread. So rather than get irritated when I click through stories, I block the links on HN with ublock-origin rules like so:
2 rules each because the replies and the story titles don't share a common parent element. eg right now I can tell from the numbers beside the stories that number 23 is missing; but otherwise HN looks the same. The same trick works for google search results; I have rules like the ones below to block less useful tutorial sites when I'm looking for python/js docs:
Hope this helps folk too; I'm not going to fight a battle over links to these sites (and others I've blocked), I'm just trying to improve my own experience of the site.
No single one item on the list is revolutionary. In fact they all seem like common sense. I think Satya reversed the mis-management of Ballmer mainly. But his cultural changes (even embraced open source) were huge!
Basically. So many startups pivoted so hard to try and get some AI exposure it's absurd. An insurance startup is now an AI insurance startup, finance startup is now an AI finance startup, accounting startup is now an AI accounting startup, blockchain startups are now AI-blockchain startups.
