Something like GNUnet's CADET subsystem?

https://gnunet.org/cadet-subsystem

I tried:-

echo "0.0.0.0 functionalclam.com" >> /etc/hosts

but a subsequent http request for http://functionalclam.com resulted in a page served by the web service listening on localhost.

edit: append to, don't clobber /etc/hosts

do you have any services running on the address to which you point such names or do you let the request time out?

> The basic problem is that most families used to receive something approaching their fair share of economic growth, and they don’t anymore.

Yes it's good, but it's not good enough.

One recurring theme of US entertainment seems to be 'good people fighting bad people and doing "whatever it takes" to get the job done'.

One thing that is being done is to reduce the amount of clear text available for collection: more and more data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

You might consider registering a profile with Freelancer sites (e.g. PeoplePerHour, Upwork, etc.) and bidding for one-off jobs. This is a good way to gain experience, develop skills and build a portfolio of work.

A minor point: theatlantic.com isn't a British tabloid.

Begrudge seems like a good fit for Missgunst.

The fibre in fruit allows a signal to stop eating to be sent to the brain. The fibre doesn't make the sugar good, but you will stop eating when you're sated and so consume less sugar. No such signal is sent when drinking sugary drinks, so it's more likely you will consume more sugar.

> In other words, the landscape was used in religious or ceremonial processions related to the monuments.

Surely it was the Glastonbury Festival venue of the day. There were even sounds wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats.

Correct. This is what the PGP "web of trust" is supposed to assist with: a trusted key is either one which you have verified, in person, as belonging to your correspondent, or one which has been signed by a number of other correspondents whom you trust to verify keys (and whose keys you have verified in person).

So the banner must have been placed there after the server was seized. Keeping the server running long enough to gather evidence of the actions of their high-value targets was probably a higher priority than sweeping-up as many customers as possible.

I visited Hansa a few days ago and the first thing I noticed was a banner that read something like:-

"New registrations are disabled because of high demand caused by the exodus from AlphaBay"

Not included in these numbers are installs of Trisquel's Abrowser and The Tor Project's TorBrowser. Both are rebadged Firefox and neither one is downloaded from or phones home to Mozilla. I don't suggest that this would make much difference to the numbers.

Is there a name for that style of magazine cover artwork? It seems to have been common on 80s computer magazines. Some more:-

Of which lawsuit do you speak? From [1]:-

> The European Commission has decided to open an antitrust investigation into allegations that Google Inc. has abused a dominant position in online search, in violation of European Union rules (Article 102 TFEU). The opening of formal proceedings follows complaints by search service providers about unfavourable treatment of their services in Google's unpaid and sponsored search results coupled with an alleged preferential placement of Google's own services. This initiation of proceedings does not imply that the Commission has proof of any infringements. It only signifies that the Commission will conduct an in-depth investigation of the case as a matter of priority.

> Mailing lists are kind of terrible beyond a certain point of complexity. First, they lead to a lot of self-spamming, with internal conversations.

This isn't a clear argument. What do you mean?

> So at very minimum, you want something threaded like email, but stored in a single location, so storage/duplication/deletion aren't problems

Certainly, the distributed nature of email may pose problems for an organisation which stores emails for a number of its employees. Storage is cheap and backup processes de-duplicate data so using mailing lists shouldn't pose too much difficulty.

Mailing lists are close to perfect; one missing feature from mailing list software is the ability to easily reach back in time to discover threads from before one joined a project.

For quick questions and discussions, irc is hard to beat.

Fascinating blog post and project; thank you for sharing. It would be nice if the Atlas were available over HTTPS.

Laura Poitras Does Not Want to Talk About Marlow Stern's theory "that there is a relationship between WikiLeaks and Russia".

Some interesting passages:-

> The new IPAct communications data requirements, however, include a paragraph under which a technical capability notice could require a provider to install a government-provided 'black box': "10. To install and maintain any apparatus provided to the operator by or on behalf of the Secretary of State for the purpose of enabling the operator to obtain or disclose communications data, including by providing and maintaining any apparatus, systems or other facilities or services necessary to install and maintain any apparatus so provided".

> A technical capability notice would also be able to require the operator to "consider" the obligations and requirements imposed by any technical capability notice when designing or developing new telecommunications services or telecommunications systems.

> The most controversial aspect of technical capability notices throughout the passage of the Bill was whether the obligation to remove encryption could be used to prevent use of end to end encryption. The proposed IP Act regulations say (for interception):"8. To provide and maintain the capability to disclose, where practicable, the content of communications or secondary data in an intelligible form and to remove electronic protection applied by or on behalf of the telecommunications operator to the communications or data, or to permit the person to whom the warrant is addressed to remove such electronic protection".

> For a technical capability notice the central concept is technical feasibility. Clearly it is not technically feasible for an operator who provides its users with true end-to-end encryption facilities to remove the encryption, since it has no decryption key.

I don't know if the text has been changed, but it reads:-

> After all, it was the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Serbia in 1914

and doesn't say anything about _where_ the assassination happened.

edit: the words "in Serbia" have been pointed out to me; there is a bug in my reading comprehension; sorry for the errant comment.

You might have omitted "woman".

From the article:-

"conceived of the web in 1989 at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) as a way to allow scientists around the world to share information with each other on the internet. He introduced a naming scheme (URIs), a communications protocol (HTTP), and a language for creating webpages (HTML). His open-source approach to coding the first browser and server is often credited with helping catalyzing the web’s rapid growth"

So no, not hypertext, not SGML, not MIME: URI, HTML (an application of SGML) and HTTP.

> NDAs are practically universal in the software consulting market.

Please would you explain what you mean by "practically universal".

Service as a Software Substitute, as RMS would put it.

When visiting the residence of a user of such devices, how should a privacy conscious person approach the thorny issue of desiring one's voice not to be recorded and transmitted?

> Obvious applications would be [...] high-altitude drones

This made me wonder about the funding for this research, but then I found that Dr. T Scott is involved with[0]:

> Radiation Mapping Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

> Following the events at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, the Interface Analysis Centre has been developing an unmanned aerial system capable of mapping radiation in regions inaccessible to humans.
