"I think" is explicitly disclaiming authority. Omitting it changes the social signaling of the response significantly.

Switching "wooden" for "a bit unnatural" also does a disservice: "wooden" describes a specific quality of deviance.

Over-all, I would definitely consider the revision stiffer and more reserved than the original.


I would take things somewhat further: I'd be happy to pay the equivalent of $20 2015 dollars for this service if it were comprehensive. Unfortunately, that might allow for a consumer surplus to occur in the viewing experience and the motion picture industry ties with maybe nVidia for peak pathological hostility to retail consumer surplus.

Wouldn't browser prefetching subvert these small frictions to entry?


I think I've seen sites trying to track outbound clicks recently, has prefetching made that impossible? I don't know the implementation but I've seen the browser sending requests that track clicks while investigating other stuff (idk whether it's working accurately though).

Edit: to be clear, it's not like I've researched this proposal since I don't work for social media companies. It's just a feature I wish I could have on my posts.


Are you suggesting that beggars would ride, if only wishes were horses!?


Also worth remembering that around 2010, the music and film industry associations of America were claiming entitlement to $50 billion dollars annually in piracy-related losses beyond what could be accounted for in direct lost revenue (which _might_ have been as much as 10 billion, or 1/6th of their claim):

These guys pathologically have had a chip on their shoulder since Napster.


"No security features should exist for anyone" is itself fanatically hyperbolic narrative. The primary reason this event has elicited such a reaction is because OnePlus has historically been perceived as one of the brands specifically catering to people that wanted ultimate sovereignty over their devices.

As time goes on, the options available for those that require such sovereignty seem to be thinning to such an extent that [at least absent significant disposable wealth] the remaining options will appear to necessitate adopting lifestyle changes comparable to high-cost religious practices and social withdrawal, and likely without the legal protections afforded those protected classes. Given the "big tech's" general hostility to user agency and contempt for values that don't consent to being subservient to its influence peddling, intense emotional reaction to loss of already diminished traditional allies seem like something that would reasonably viewed compassionately, rather than with hostility.


For the audience: I had never heard of Brian Berletic previously. In an attempt to understand what this person's undisclosed conflicts of interest were, I found numerous reports of him painting the Myanmar Junta in a positive light:

There's a certain event-horizon where bitterness taints / skews perspective enough that even what would otherwise be helpful insights becomes so costly to disentangle from grudge-extrapolation that it's not obvious if any of it ends up being worth the cost of entry. At least to me, this person's work seems well beyond that point.


If the political environment gets bad enough, you may expect to die anyway, and the TTL difference that obfuscation provides means the difference between making a small improvement before the inevitable, or not.


I'm not an IETF process expert. Would this be worth filing errata against the original RFC in addition to their new proposed update?

Also, what's the right mental framework behind deciding when to release a patch RFC vs obsoleting the old standard for a comprehensive update?


I don't know the official process, but as a human that sometimes reads and implements IETF RFCs, I'd appreciate updates to the original doc rather than replacing it with something brand new. Probably with some dated version history.

Otherwise I might go to consult my favorite RFC and not even know its been superseded. And if it has been superseded with a brand new doc, now I have to start from scratch again instead of reading the diff or patch notes to figure out what needs updating.

And if we must supersede, I humbly request a warning be put at the top, linking the new standard.


At one point I could have sworn they were sticking obsoletion notices in the header, but now I can only find them in the right side-bar:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5245

I agree, that it would be much more helpful if made obvious in the document itself.

It's not obvious that "updated by" notices are treated in any more of a helpful manner than "obsoletes"


There already is an I-D on this topic (based on previous work): https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-jabley-dnsop-ordered-...


I thought the Pentium Pro _was_ a 686?

Wikipedia seems to correlate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_Pro, as do discussions on CMOV: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4429563


Yes, sorry I remembered incorrectly. The rust compiler claims to be i686 and the CPU is i686 too, but the rust compiler is using Pentium 4 only instructions so it doesn't actually work for i686.


Yeah, that sucks. I assume this is SSE2?


It does look like there are legitimate issues with x87 floating-point: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/114479

That is correct :)

Edit: I see from the sister post that it is actually llvm and not rust, so I'm half barking up the wrong tree. But somehow this is not an issue with gcc and friends.
