Kansas City Shuffle I am constantly at MRC. Sometimes new people come in and write something like "there is no encryption in Gopher". And how now not to remember the movie "Lucky Number Slevin"? So what is it "Kansas City Shuffle"? This is when everyone looks to the right, and you go to the left. This is especially widespread in "pseudo" new technologies. For example, corporations tell you. Frames in HTML are outdated. Why? No one knows. They just tell you so. At the same time, they create IFrames รข HTML5. This is the same, but supposedly different. This is "Kansas City Shuffle". Or, as corporations say, HTTP sites are dangerous. Buy our SSL certificates for security. This is a pure snake oil. At the same time, the "Kansas City Shuffle" takes place, three big social networks are hacked, and a data of billion profiles are taken away from there. Everyone pretends that nothing happened. After all, these were "secure" TLS/SSL sites. Corporations always shift the focus from real problems to mythological ones. Mozilla and Google have dropped FTP. Why exactly no one knows. They said it was outdated. Again "Kansas City Shuffle". In fact, all protocols except HTTPS are cross-platform, which means you do not need to constantly buy new equipment to use them. They work on any hardware. "Kansas City Shuffle" the main method of sellers of snake oil from IT cartels. To talk about problems that do not exist to divert attention from what corporations are selling of yester day. In many situations, Web 1.0 HTTP sites, chat rooms, and forums are much safer for private data than HTTPS Web 2.0 social media. This is the real truth.
