I wrote this: https://github.com/Jchase2/simple-pass-manager for that reason. It doesn't even store unencrypted things on disk. I'll still probably keep improving it, like the interface and what not, but I fe

Glad they added sed -i, that should save some time. For me anyway.

I agree, but that's the only 1 in 400 number I could come up with.

I guess if the victim's DNA were on the offender... But then why not ask the victim for a sample? :/

It says: "To the best of your knowledge", not SHOULD. The should one is after that, which says: "Law enforcement should be able to permanently seize money or other property if they suspect it’s connected to criminal activity,

The whole point of providing immunity is that previous contracts such as privacy policies become null and void in this context... I'm pretty sure you didn't read the link...

Based on what I'm reading, they don't require sharing of the information, they just give companies sweeping immunity to do plenty of illegal things while doing so. The government sort of incentivizes this behavior. The problem i

This is incredibly bad. The amount of personal information large companies like these have on everyone is scary enough on its own, but now they're getting blanket governmental immunity to share it with not only other private companies,

Having Tor nodes in libraries sounds like a pretty good idea. Helps spread adoption and it can hopefully be a way to bring libraries into the 21st century etc. It's not particularly surprising that some local DHS guy would start fear m

Yeah, but what does that have to do with random unassociated outside observers? Are you saying society at large has some kind of right to intimate details of personal relationships?

How would you even get relatives contact information automatically...

I'd imagine a blanket statement about what works for everyone is misguided, yeah. "If you have intellectual pursuits, that will prevent addiction" obviously can't be stated as a fact. I'd imagine it's much more

I've read criticisms of silicone-valley culture before, but this one takes it much further. I think there are some very valid points in this, but I also think it's wishful thinking to hope that folks in charge will eventually beco

Pretty sure the economics work out in societys favor when it comes to H maintenance and those safe injection places, too.

This jives with my experience using pretty much everything, including heroin. A high-level unscientific explanation I've had is basically folks prone to addiction feel like heroin or whatever replaces the feelings of success and compan

I think the idea is, yeah, we can have untrustworthy exit nodes, but that's already anticipated as a potential threat so everyone should know better and use https as much as possible, among other means of encrypting exit data. Doesn&#x

So, there's a bit of a mystery going on with thepiratebay's site. In the source there's been various clues that have been changing over time. A couple of folks over at reddit were working on it, but I don't think anyone

Holy shit, thanks for linking that. That's pretty awesome.

So, it seems possible to build a p2p based market. I'm pretty sure I read something about there already being one. Like, a distributed network based market where sales and buys are processed by users, much in the way bitcoin does, or t

Well, often if those running a corporation do not have profit maximization as their primary goal, they are voted out by investors. Essentially, maximizing profit becomes the job of the leaders as requested by those invested. There are some
