A few additional thoughts on the Telegram ban in India: 1. Is this a permanent ban? It's unusual for the Indian government to issue a press release about the telegram ban: the precedence that I remember is when Chinese apps were banned in India in June 2020 including tiktok. A

Introduction to D3
So far in 6.859, we've primarily been working with visual analysis grammars like Vega-Lite or VizQL (Tableau). These grammars break visualization design down into a process of specifying mappings (or visual encodings) between data fields and the properties of graphical objects called marks. They're useful for concisely and rapidly creating recognizable visualizations, while giving us more design flexibility (or expressivity) than chart typologies like Microsoft Excel. However, describing visual…

Maximizing Qname Minimization: A New Chapter in DNS Protocol Evolution
Data privacy and security experts tell us that applying the "need to know" principle enhances privacy and security, because it reduces the amount of information potentially disclosed to a service provider -- or to other parties -- to the minimum the service provider requires to perform a service. This principle is at the heart of qname minimization, a technique described in RFC 7816 that has now achieved significant adoption in the DNS.
