Not quite. At the moment it's virtual currency [0]. My point was that security holes increase as service increases in complexity. Especially when it's used for everything and becomes a hard lesson in SPoF for users, like the money example.

I like to think that promoting what you currently use gains more traction for what you use in terms of; community, documentation, features, demand, etc. Applies to all languages and software. But yeah, the immaturity with using fallacies (e

How would Google do it with an algorithm to tell whether a database is leaked or not? Get emails from the firm to assess it? Maybe a honeypot email? In that case, it seems far more easier for developers to put in honeypot emails in the data

That only tackles the master password for every site issue. It does not solve the password being plaintext. For example, Facebook has a central ID and if they don't protect the password that gets exposed, someone could use the password to w

It seems overly anti-police just starting with the headline and not quite about how the apps are giving journalistic abilities to people. Just my opinion. I don't dislike/avoid the police here (Australian).

It's more about capturing something that someone does not want to be seen and later traceable back to you because you didn't know about your phone embedding data into pictures. Say for example, you caught me killing a puppy with your camera

Also strip personally identifying information for immediate anonymity. A phone serial could be embedded or at least a phone make (mine does phone make. Flickr enjoys this btw). Combine that with who owns the phone serial or used phone make

I read a case that if you look like you're recording everything in general, the people being recorded give permission to be recorded in public space. I think it was aimed at protecting journalists though.

It's also in the open letter that he was requested. He had also offer private meetings with not only the union but pilots as well.

I think it was referring to copying content from wikipedia, translating it into a different language and then back into English. Probably one of the reasons for google to reduce the manipulation by taking down the translate API.

Are you sure mobile browsers are good at viewing desktop-aimed content? I'm considering auto-resizing (fluid) for simple content like cssgrid.net because some placements will break or look weird. Would this be a problem for mobile browsers?

Facebook has several features requesting users to add not only their username but passwords to other websites, to add friends. The same can not be said of Facebook [0]. The CEO is allegedly said to take advantage of journalists who provided

When using Nginx, I noticed a penalty of 10x too when not using the SSL cache. Stunnel and Nginx have SSL caches for those considering it.

Is there any businesses targeting this demographic online? I don't have much idea how to create markets for a very sophisticated demographic that's averse to new things yet it's probably the richest demographic in many countries if not all.

If everyone says it and the group is quite skeptical, and you know it has basis, then it seems the steps to becoming successful are actually useful. I'll call that common knowledge for lack of a better word. Why would common knowledge be de

Facebook has a culture of introducing live testing according to some developer statements so it's slightly surprising that this happened. Google seems to test their systems well, except for UI changes though.

Are you switching from Telstra though? From seeing how the Internet breaks in USA [0] and China [1], it's discerning and goes against network neutrality. Some people I spoke to that are against the Internet filter say they are not switching

Why would a popular dating service like OkCupid or PlentyOfFish open up to indirectly allow more competition and less ad audience when everyone just looks at the dating API website? Seems to be only useful for struggling sites but even then

Just like you don't want over 60 requests per second from a client, you don't want them to be able to allow that much log in attempts. Look at Gmail failed login process. A captcha is required after 3 failed attempts is preferable to a "you
