Paul Ohm's work on de-anonymization missing?
- miguelrochefort 11y ago
  People will soon pay a lot of money to be de-anonymized.
  - jacquesm 11y ago
    I'd expect the opposite. People will make money de-anonymizing others, and those others won't be able to reverse the process no matter what they pay.

Sorry if this is not the correct way to phrase this, but why post this again when it was on the front page less than a week ago? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9938893 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9938893

  Why did you not ask the same question when the link was posted 5 days ago? That was the second time it was submitted by the same person in as many days. The real question is who cares? If it gets voted to the front page it is because people want to see it...

    Because it had been posted over a year ago prior to being posted a week ago. And yes, you are right in pointing out that the same person submitted it twice in two days, but the first time it appears that nobody saw it. IMO, this is within the HN repost guidelines, but that's a matter of interpretation. But I agree with you that "If it gets voted to the front page it is because people want to see it..."
