Re: Re: The Reason Telecoms don't Want Encrypted DNS Lookups
Just a note for any "Level3 isn't an ISP" folks:
When FiOS got handed over to Frontier, those DNS servers were often proposed for folks w/ static IPs. Frontier's current DNS servers return the same IPs for NXDOMAIN (as Level3's DNS).

Now if we were meaningfully individual thinkers, there would be little need for the EC. But we aren't. We're highly susceptible to group-think. Worse, elections are decided by manipulating voters into select conclusions, that they'd never come to on their own.
The primary issue with elections is that everyone is fine with the above.
I'd agree that the EC is a poor alternative to manipulation-resistant voters but it's all that we have.
I found my current rental via checking each day's new rental listings at 6am, so I'd be the 1st applicant. Every day, without fail.
Many listings met our budget, distance & space needs, all of them in really tough neighborhoods (usually w/ HOAs, btw).
It took 6 months (as in 180 attempts) to find ONE suitable house in a reasonably safe neighborhood - w/ the most notorious HOA in the county.
So yeah. Technically I chose to live w/ an HOA (that occasionally fabricates bizarrely false violations) but only to avoid living in an even worse Hell.
Surveillance seems designed to prevent the very, very rare and very, very unlikely disaster scenarios
This is true because nearly every justification for surveillance is a lie. Police & legislators hammer us w/ a false narrative (ever amplified by the news) that kids are at meaningful risk from kidnapping. The truth is that kidnappings by strangers are vanishingly rare.
Historically, the greatest human risk to kids has been sexual and other forms of abuse, often by larger and older kids. And the reason that abuse was a persistent threat is because (historically) kids knew that cops weren't likely to protect them.
Fortunately, that last bit has been changing - which leaves kids pretty dang safe to spend hours away from adults.
If kids had any adult-free places to range w/o fear of arrest, that is.
The challenge is that parents are zeroing in on fully controlling kids' environments.
For most of history, kids had far more unsupervised play time than they do now. Now not only are they under constant scrutiny, we've erased free ranges by walling kids in w/ endless subdivisions & blanketed everywhere else with No Trespassing signs.
We're undermining childhood as effectively as anyone can.

In this case it may also reference a violation of Article 1 Section 8

Show me a "security researcher" who knowingly distributes malicious software, and I'll show you someone who is likely a criminal, whether they would call themselves one or not.
"Distributes" is present tense. What better fits your assertion is:
Show me a "security researcher" who once distributed malicious software, and I'll show you someone who is likely still a criminal. It's of no consequence that years of benevolent behavior clearly shows otherwise.
A likely scenario is Hutchins made bad choices years ago and then followed that up with years of ethical behavior, indicating he had reformed himself.
Someone tell me. What is the actual damn point of anyone, anywhere reforming their bad behavior and becoming a benefit to society if society is going to effectively ignore their reformation and treat them as if their bad behavior is still happening today?
Years after this legal fiasco is over, Hutchins will continue to be punished (via background records) for the rest of his life. This system of Lifetime Punishment For Every Possible Transgression is an ideal incentive - if the goal is to create as many criminals as possible. Indications are this exactly what the goal is.
