We're working on exceptions support, which would allow specific domains to be looked up via DNS instead of DoH. In that case, mirroring a blackhole list to the exceptions support would result in what you want (I mean, if I understand what you're asking).

For now, we recommend having an enterprise policy for the browser configured. That is the best indication we have that the browser configuration is managed and this kind of issue might occur. We're also open to recommendations from admins on other things that might clue us in that we're in this situation. Finally, we're discussing the possibility of establishing a network standard that signals more strongly that "name shadowing" is occurring... like maybe there's some DNS response that can be configured locally that we can look to proactively and then disable DoH.

A subdomain that doesn't resolve is handled properly -- meaning DoH is then disabled.

I'm working on our DoH implementation. I'm guessing this is a split-horizon set up with a domain that resolves both internally and externally. If you are willing, we're very interested in these situations and coming up with heuristics to detect and disable DoH proactively. We're also looking into standards changes that could make these configurations more reliably detectable at the application level. I'm selena at mozilla.com.

Uplift to us is bringing the patches into mozilla-central pref'd off so that Tor developers can just pref features on, rather than re-merge patches for each major and dot release. We also add tend to add tests.

It's just periodically getting slammed. It comes back after a little bit.

I know some of the women who have volunteered to teach and they love this program. The kids come away with working software and produce something that they can immediately see the value of.

There's a great quote in http://computinged.wordpress.com/2010/05/11/playing-the-card... about relevance of instruction:

"Students abandon classes that they perceive as being irrelevant to them."

App Camp is obviously relevant and is targeting an age group that is vulnerable to permanently dropping out of math and computer-related education.
