Not publicly accessible, could you fix permissions?

The big question is what do these sell for? Cost dictates how broadly these can be used.

Nathan Myrvold demo'd this at TED 2010. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwyMuwNYKvI

Safety is a blocking issue last I heard - something powerful enough to zap a bug can also permanently blind a retina.

Children; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. They no longer rise when elders enter the room, they contradict their parents and tyrannize their teachers. Children are now tyrants!

What does something like this cost, and then what's it's all-up install cost? IE trying to get to a $/kWh figure.

WireGuard is a spectacular gift to the community and I am grateful to have it.

Access to the infrastructure is pretty easy - e.g. a WiFi Pineapple is $99. https://shop.hak5.org/products/wifi-pineapple

There is no absolute protection against compromise, but it would be polite for every web site to implement https and hsts to at least make it harder for visitors to be compromised. It costs them very little.

Maybe the analogy is soap in the bathroom at a coffee shop - most customers will not get cholera if the soap is missing, but is it moral for the shop owners to take the risk when the cost is so low and the downside is so high?

Practically, you don't do a cert for your site, you do it to protect visitors to your site getting compromised by a MITM attack.

A site without a cert is basically telling its users "I don't care about you."

What's with all the typos on the web site? e.g. "Unfetter Discover: Analyze seucrity gaps and explore adversary tradecraft" or "Unfetter Disocover".

If the goal is to foster adoption these tells scream "disorganized and unprofessional".

So it's not a hoax.

Actually, my observation over the last 20 years of being a venture investor, bigco acquirer and startup CEO (including at a unicorn) is that the risk-adjusted $ compensation is the same at a startup and at bigco. Startups just have more beta in the comp. You learn a lot more at a startup and hence it's the experience you want if you hope to do your own startup. If you just care about short-term $ then absolutely stay at bigco. If you want experiences unavailable at bigcos and are willing to take the chance of making less, but also the chance of making 10X+ more, do startups.

U.S. has rule-of-law. Russia has rule-by-force. Comparing Russian and US elites like this smells like rank Russian propaganda.
