Very informative link, thank you. I was likewise unaware. TLDR: minimization is the act of removing non-relevant personal data from foreign intelligence information. From the article: "Minimiaztion [sic], in essence, is the legal term fo

It was back in April, in association with an attack on Linode [1]. See this HN comment by RoboTeddy from yesterday for a great summary of the group's story about these attacks [2]. However, Name.com has not disclosed much information. I d

I also found it interesting how vague they were in "implementing additional security measures". I would hope that they've identified and fixed the core security issue that HTP exploited, and that these extra measures aren't simply asking th

Interesting that they don't talk about any action they have taken in response (beyond asking their customers to perform some action and implementing vague "security measures"). I would hope that they've identified and fixed the core securi

I was very surprised that the article made no mention of such a bias. It was my first thought, too. I'm not terribly up-to-date on how Kepler has been detecting planets, but isn't it due to the 'wobble' of the stars? Surely they'll find

How long does it typically take for a voicemail or answering machine/service to pick up? And what percentage of your long ring-time countries (e.g., Libya) have such a service? Given that only 5% of calls go unanswered in Libya after ringi

Hunh. Does Chrome not use custom CSS fonts? It is falling back to Georgia on both Mac and PC for me (edit: with Ghostery running). Turnip is shown on Safari, Firefox and IE 8... and IE does an even worse job of rendering it ("rendering"

Yup. And this is supported by the supposedly leaked piece of GUI code that appeared on Gist 2 days ago. If that code leak is authentic and reasonably up to date (there are references to an alpha version), then it means that this is happen

If they're smart, they'll pick up the bone vibrations from the wearer. You know how your voice sounds different when you hear it back from a recording? They should be able to detect when the wearer is saying something in the same way you

Agreed, but he's right in that a wrong contact name is worrisome. That said, it doesn't seem like it was changed in his account settings (at least he didn't mention it).

Yes, I know. It was a joke. You are right. I apologize for not conveying my tone adequately.

> All other things being equal, how you manage ______ is how you beat your competition. What a spectacular tautology. But, yes, you are right. More importantly: It's an easy place to win or lose dollars.

The idea is that the process is more important than the result. It's more important that you enjoy working on it than actually finishing it. You sound more interested in processing the data than making the tool.

Yup, exactly option 1. But browsers need to support this intrinsically and universally. By salting with the domain name, you remove phishing. Password managers (especially in terms of built-in browser support) are generally a one-machine

I agree with your statement with one minor change: a password (or better, passphrase) is a brilliant authentication... Passwords (plural) are just about the worst authentication mechanism. While brains are good at remembering one such to

The problem isn't getting a user to recognize that they need to scan something... it's that the user needs to scan something! We need to get things automatically scanning other things.

My favorite example is Illinois' 4th Congressional district[1]. But: there can be positive outcomes to such gerrymandering. Chicago is very strongly majority democratic. Splitting the city with straight lines would not change this. All

The difference? Sample size. In baseball, everyone has the same data. It's all the data available. There's no sampling going on; it's a projection from past performance. Which, in many ways, is way more difficult. His advantage in 538
