> Your laptop encryption key is stored in your keychain

Probably not if one is not using Apple cloud on their laptops.

> stored in your keychain (without telliing you!)

How to verify that? Any commands/tools/guides?

Unless that's a data privacy or monopoly related. Then they won't.

Weak engineering. Both from the CloudFlare side and their peers.

amazon.com is IPv4-only redirector to www.amazon.com which is dual-staked.

The same is true for amazon.fr.

> My ISP does not give me an IPv6 address, only a single IPv6 which all my network devices have to NAT through.

Interesting how that works in your case. Is your router gives your devices IPv6 from fc00::/7 and then NAT them? It would be a rather rare case.

I'm really curious too. It's probably fd00::/8 though right? fc00::/8 is technically still reserved, although everyone seems to ignore that...

Because Canadian government gives money to some industries to pay for tariffs. It's called Regional Tariff Response Initiative (RTRI).

Based on my (limited) understanding of RTRI, they have very specific items they fund and pretty low overall impact to the trade balance ($1M per org and $1B over 3 years program total across all industries). From [1]:

----------

Productivity improvement:

- investing in digitization, automation, or technology to enhance business productivity and competitiveness

- reshoring production, research & development (R&D) operations, recruiting highly qualified personnel (HQP) and expertise

Market expansion and diversification:

- developing and diversifying markets to help businesses find new customers

- business support, market development and diversification, and guidance services (e.g., advice for businesses from a sectoral expert organization)

Strengthening supply chains and trade resilience:

- optimizing supply chain logistics and ensuring compliance with standards to gain market access and/or enhance sales

- strengthening domestic supply chains and facilitating internal trade to increase the resilience of businesses and reliability of domestic markets

----------

This $1B program — even if it all went straight to subsidizing tariffs on Canadian imports — would be a pretty small rounding error out of the total $200B raised through tariffs from the article.

If anything, RTRI funds are largely about efficiency and pivoting to new markets. While there may be some outcomes that result in producers being able to lower their export costs, they're not "paying for" US tariffs.

Edit: formatting.

But that still doesn't reduce the cost to US customers, it just means the Canadian businesses gets a subsidy to make up for reduced sales.

> data can often be streamed much faster than with local SSDs. 10GB/s has been available for a decade or more, and I think 100GB/s is available these days.

In practice most AWS instances are 10Gbps capped. I have seen ~5Gbps consistently read from GCS and S3. Nitro based images are in theory 100Gbps capable, in practice I've never seen that.

Also, anything under 16 vCPUs generally has baseline / burst bandwidth, with the burst being best-effort, 5-60 minutes.

This has, at multiple companies for me, been the cause of surprise incidents, where people were unaware of this fact and were then surprised when the bandwidth suddenly plummeted by 50% or more after a sustained load.

> discussions have been going for ages concerning where the limit should be

I don't remember any discussions about that. It's always a statement 'to protect the children' or 'fight piracy'.

> It's always a statement 'to protect the children' or 'fight piracy'

Both of which make a lot of sense.

And the contrarian view is always expressed as a matter of "privacy", as if remote privacy had ever existed before a couple decades ago.

Laws must be discussed based on their intentions and their expected result. Inventing dogmas doesn't help societal advancement.

Sometimes that's true.

They don't. Why would they?
