Wow. That is shit. Time to shift to self-hosted versions. And get the public to understand and seek them out... That's the hard part...
wordpress has new media support now since wp 4.0, audio and video are no longer hidden behind a flash wrapper, these are presented via html5 audio video elements with flash fallback.
I haven't read new policies but monetization is optional, and one can release music whenever they wish, with contentID I believe an artist gets to exert control over his music youtube-wide, auto-identification of music, the one with links to itunes content that youtube lists.It happened this morning.

tcpcrypt.org is a truly beautiful solution to the unencrypted Internet problem: security, performance and backward compatibilitytestbeta, Evan Prodromou likes this.

Interesting, opportunistic encryption for everything, but effectively for nothing yet, as both endpoints need to support, IIUC. Is the main use case encrypting one's traffic to services one controls without individually setting up? Or is it conceivable to imagine supermajority of hosts running tcpcrypt so that large proportion of currently unencrypted traffic is encrypted?
