This reads a lot like a PR piece for Amazon, with most "answers" promoting Amazon nearly like a press release and very little negative points.
A few sentences that stand out:
> If you have a ton of data in your data center and you want to move it to AWS but you don't want to send it over the internet, we’ll send an eighteen-wheeler to you filled with hard drives, plug it into your data center with a fiber optic cable, and then drive it across the country to us after loading it up with your data.
> Q: I know there have been a number of collective actions among Amazon warehouse workers around the issue of safety during the pandemic.
> A: (a series of measures implemented at Amazon)
> Internally, people say, “Oh, we’re probably better than our competitions, or other warehousing and logistics companies.”
> Q: Has Ring brought Amazon into much closer relationships with law enforcement?
> A: it would really surprise me if any of those relationships were the result of the Ring acquisition [...] I think Amazon also kind of backed into that situation. We only realized after the fact that we had all this data about who was coming to people’s front doors.
>I’ve met several founders who wanted to enable tele-medicine years ago but decided against it because “the lawyers cost more than the engineers”, and walking-on-eggshells destroys morale & iteration speed.
Thankfully so - I wouldn't want my telemedicine to rely on eg. some random unsecured Mongodb instance.
I feel like the article went way too much over aspects like TPDNE and the non-existent lawyer, which - while being useful to know - are somewhat poor indicators of fake profiles especially in a tech circle. I personally know a few people who use TPDNE profile pictures and many who use fake names, although none do both (a wise thing in this day and age). The rest was quite lacking.
All the fingerprinting tools I've seen so far do not include JA3 signatures, which in my opinion make for an interesting bit of information - they introduce few bits of entropy since they depend on the TLS implementation, but for the same reason they can't be easily spoofed.
I feel like the title is somewhat appropriate: part of the post was about selectively removing parts of Kubernetes networking, and digging through the kernel networking stack, to troubleshoot the issue
If you share usernames, that is. I could very well make up a unique username like "Nikatoa" that I never even thought of before, and there's no way you could link that to any other account of mine - short of database leaks containing my email or linking/commenting from one account to another.
I find it somewhat ironic that the tool is served over HTTPS over some random domain. Certainly if an attacker has the resources to forge a certificate for eg. telegram.org doing the same for trustprobe.com won't be much harder.
>if firefighting is privatized, insurance companies would require more fire-resistant building materials and design (instead of the typical match-box American single-family home or low rise apartment)
This is what happens when firefighting and house maintenance are in the same interest. The libertarian argument argues for a private interest, but it could very well be turned on its head in favor of a public interest.

How can you test so little on Firefox that it doesn't even connect? (FF Nightly, Linux)
Gates access to whom? Trade-offs in favour of what?
Introducing a fixed price gates the poor the most (eg. a wealthy individual can afford to spend a couple hundred pounds on a yearly subscription without much thought), and often incentivises trade-offs in favour of individual transportation (i.e. cars), which is less desirable in terms of pollution and traffic.
