Ensuring physical security of CA private keys is expensive. This requires things like sturdy padlocks, closed-circuit security cameras, and up-to-date hardware and software. These are the things you pay for when you buy a certificate from a

Good post, but is pinging the broadcast address really "passive network surveillance"? My definition of "passive" involves never sending new network traffic.

Thanks for posting this. One question I have is this: When, as the CTO, you approach an engineer with the intent on coding together or otherwise building some system, are there not organizational challenges with an executive working with a

This looks like the perfect combination of security/anonymity and a beautiful consumer experience. Are you working on challenging problems?

Do you have a better suggestion? I agree with your frustration about this article being newsworthy (it's 2013! How are we still figuring out vertical centering?!), though I would argue that CSS is great for its original use case and ce

How did you decide to embark on this challenge? Do you have any online resources that you can link to so we can learn more?

This is a great game. I also appreciate your positive attitude as you handle the feedback in the comments. Do you have any ideas for how to incorporate multiplayer gameplay into Penguins? It's generally harder to do (or not as fun) wit

For me, it's orders of magnitude more efficient to try out a new technology than to read a book. For example, I recently took on a more advanced Arduino project. Knowing very little about electrical engineering, I've been making s

I'm not sure if you did this on purpose, but THANK YOU for posting the mobile version of the site. It removes a lot of the distracting spam from the main version. I think more people should try to find a mobile version of a submission

The patent in question is pretty absurd. If I understand it correctly, Alcatel patented the concept of using an ID to reference an object: "referencing... an object that is to be displayed on the terminal display with a particular identifie

Bought a 3D Systems Cube a few months ago. I would say it's not a consumer-ready product, though not a bad investment from the perspective of doing market research. I've learned a lot about where the current market is in terms of consumer-u

Especially striking and inspiring was how he thinks of food as an "old technology": > I don't miss the rotary telephone and I don't miss food.

This is perhaps true, yet to the same extent that it would be true of any other secret weapon's deployment. For example, let us consider the development and deployment of Stuxnet to be analogous to a miniature Manhattan Project. What propor

We cannot begin to imagine the extent to which world military powers are currently developing and deploying cyberweapons. Given the success of Stuxnet, it's nearly certain that such offensive cyberwarfare programs have gotten increased fund

I enjoyed the humor. Perhaps his responses didn’t entirely serve the How I Work series, but it made Libin seem more approachable.

Perhaps it was inappropriate for HN, but I was absolutely being sarcastic. Thanks for pointing this out for others anyway. I'm sickened by these "targeted assassinations", regardless of how effective they are at protecting our Homeland.

Interesting demo, even just for its novelty. I would never have thought to do this. Thanks for sharing.

That seems pretty unrealistic. No developed country would use drones to kill people based solely on accusation, forgoing their right to a fair trial.
