If that's true, and because it's the least secure MFA option, I don't see it being that difficult or controversial of a decision.

I also do enjoy that this is listed as an 800% increase, not really how 0->$8 works.

Anyway, sorry for the injury and the carelessness.

My perspective is that we went from trains being novel and a radio unheard of to handing toddlers iPads in a few centuries. Biology doesn't evolve that fast. It makes me wonder what an alien looking in would consider closer to child abuse given your comment. Unfettered iPad access or teaching a kid fast cars and roads are dangerous so going outside is bad.

Exactly what you do _not_ want protecting the neutral internet. They've done better being neutral than some might have, but that's in reality more insidious because clearly there are points they will bend on and those points will change over time and almost certainly continue to erode.

I pirate all my books btw, just saying if everyone did it ofc there'd be(already is) impact. Easily smartphones+kindle is worse though.

It's unclear the cause of this, one might infer it was US pressure to adhere to the agreement after finding non-compliance, alternatively it could be internally originated investigation.

Was it something that amazon imposed(ostensibly)? If so, please share.

If IMAP is viewed as nostalgia install postfix/dovecot on something and play around.

Same goes for https handshakes leaking your target domain(otherwise SNI wouldn't work), so DNSSec alone is fairly pointless for regular web traffic obfuscation; and of course the IP is in each TCP frame regardless.

It becomes more a matter of are they doing it yet(re:DNS monitoring in this manner); with enough people using third party resolvers(I'd argue google's public DNS already has enough usage to warrant it) they will be.

Optimally you'd VPN at all times to a provider you trust or one you've setup yourself.

What it all really boils down to though is that the populace simply can't be trusted(nor should they need to be) to make themselves acceptably secure from third party monitoring. We need to have much more discussion around data privacy and retention for ISP's.

It's not a matter of if the data will be misused, it's truly a matter of when and it's not fair to the general public.

E.g. in this case likely a 2 point auth system (security question and e.g. payment details (last four of latest payment meth/etc))

Seems you're shocked that a lower tier support agent can auth this kind of request when the reality for most email hosts is that they can.

They(likely a new employee) got socialed.

Yes, they should have systems in place to prevent this from being possible in the first place; no, I do not find your incredulity genuine, albeit rational.

I interface with my local police at least once a month, not for recalcitrant reasons; they are good people.

Is this an anecdote? Yes.

Do I like seeing police as a whole cast as evil? No.

Infinite Jest is a look into the sick self-doubting mindset that has infected the US(and other parts of the world).

I read while I was severely over-weight and 'depressed' and it was extremely validating to see the mindset so accurately reflected. I've never had a book where I can't read it without stopping if desired before(unless it's purely technical).

I couldn't get through more than 50pages/sitting for Infinite Jest.

It was pretty good.

That's subjectively defined so I'm not sure how you can be authoritative judge here.

I think it is clickbait, and I think the people here are pretty smart and completely understand why this is relevant given current events. (By relevant I do not mean accurate)

Wikileaks has a 100% accuracy rating(meaning they have not once pushed a falsified leak).

You showing other falsifications by other corrupt organizations isn't enough for me to throw away evidence as 'false' when there is no reason to do so. Again, if there was an individual falsification why wouldn't DNC officials call it out? Can you provide me a rational explanation.

In the context of a leak dropped a day before the election with no chance to fact check, sure, I could entertain the possibility there might be forgeries to control the election results.

Weeks ahead? What is stopping any forgeries from being called out? Where is _your_ proof these are false emails?

You have none, because there is none.
