There's a pull request with 127.0.0.1 in it.

https://github.com/zapret-info/z-i/pull/10/commits/8394b2026...

Wonder if they'll merge it.

That repository is obviously just a copy and is not (and in fact can't be) used by ISPs.

Not all ISPs even have DPI, small ones just block IPs
degorov · 8 years ago
It's not possible to comply with RKN's requirements by banning IPs for quite a long time already.

Their DPI is so dumb that it can be easily bypassed just by editing `Host` to `HOst` in http header. BTW ipv6 adresses are not blocked.
degorov · 8 years ago
What does that even mean? Every ISP has it's own filtering system, some (or maybe even most of them) are custom built ones. There is no such thing as single government approved DPI.

'This position is paid after a 3 month training. This is non-negotiable and keeps us from hiring engineers that end up being toxic to our long term goals and just looking for a pay day'

What the hell? That is the whole _point_ of a job. You know...to get paid for it.

Like, what do they expect their employees to do for three months while they're not getting paid? Live in a cardboard box down by the river?

I mean, I get it. It is probably just a scam to get people to work for free, but regardless, that policy is absolutely idiotic.

In my country it's simply illegal. Either you pay (and it doesn't even matter if there exists a signed job contract) or explicitly state that this is NOT a job, but a training practice or whatever.

Just wanted to let you know that your website is shown to me in very badly translated Dutch, personally I'd rather have correct English than bad Dutch, but I don't see a way to change it.

Same for me with Russian.

"In Russia all men aged 18-27 have to spend a year in the armed forces."

I don't think that's correct. College graduates only have to serve a few weeks, IIRC.

degorov · 9 years ago
Not true. Graduates serve for 1 year just as all other men. People who graduated from colleges with military departments get the rank of lieutenant and indeed serve a few weeks, but as of 2017 not too much universities have those departments and even if they do, not every student can enroll there as there are certain requirements for health and physical abilities.

Don't they have to?

In the US, there's a law that says all places that serve food and aren't on a public street (e.g. a food truck), have to have a public toilet.

At least in my jurisdiction, gas station don't have public toilets because they want to---they have it because since they serve reheated hot dogs, they are required to have a toilet.

degorov · 9 years ago
Same thing in Russia. It doesn't always work well, but in most cases it does. As for mass public events - usually there are free street portable toilets provided as well. In most office buildings there are free toilets as well, and in all shopping malls, of course. Cinemas, theatres, medical institutions... All of those are publicly accessible without any questions asked.

To be honest, I can name only 2 places where the toilets are paid in Russia - train and some bus stations and there are paid toilets near metro stations in Moscow.

Putin likes to make it look that way, yes. And on the surface it does. Beneath the surface, there are lots of important differences.

The EU doesn't block websites. It doesn't control the media. It ensures freedom of speech. It makes it possible even for US companies to do business in the EU, without the fear that their servers are seized whenever some corrupt regime decides to. The EU doesn't go after dissidents... and the list goes on and on...

Why does then wikipedia have articles with lists of websites blocked in different EU countries?

From Russia, can confirm. Finally roscomnadzor is preventing spam!

Actually, you probably will still get emails from them, but won't be able to open unsubscribe links.

Worth noticing that court blocked only HTTP version "http://www.linkedin.com/", HTTPS works just fine :)

However some providers, who had no smart hardware, may block by IP instead of URL, and https version will be blocked as well (not my case).

degorov · 9 years ago
Already not true as of 2016-11-18 10:50 MSK. All protocols/ports should be blocked by ISP's for both www and apex.
