I second this. You can't let your queries take unusable amounts of time, but below a certain threshold relevancy is infinitely more important. I'm putting together a product which has a search feature and that uses Django + MySQL

If you actually believe that, I have two pieces of advice for you: 1) Stop reading Breitbart / Dailymail. 2) Go travel a bit.

Penguins? What are you talking about? I don't care about low-level encryption details. That's why I use encryption software instead of coding my own.

I thought I had a way around that, but no. You CAN add a phone number, then ask you use FreeOTP token, then delete the phone number. Great, right? No. Because if you click that "I forgot my password / don't have access to my

I disagree. It should treat unrecognized devices as any device. In other words, it shouldn't remember devices. Because you know, privacy. The only thing I ask these services is that they won't let anyone in who doesn't have t

Dropbox only syncs the difference of the encrypted files. Truecrypt uses by default AES which encrypts blocks of size 256kb. It's almost as efficient as syncing without encryption.

by RasputinsBro 9y ago
No. AES encrypts blocks (I think 256kb?). So that's the only thing you have to sync.

Or your politicians are just corrupt. You know, it's a different possibility. How about you fix your democracy and stop blaming everyone else?

Citation needed. Is this something you read somewhere, liked how it felt, and are repeating it? Or do you have numbers, and if so show us.

So is yours. This thread is about media and propaganda, and you're talking about intel.

The "American media" did no such thing. One specific outlet made a correction about one specific story. What about Fox News? Did they apologize? > have engaged in considerable soul searching. It is my opinion that absolutely no

So the US administration said a lie which was convenient for them, and the media repeated it. The Russian administration said a lie which was convenient for them, and the media repeated it. What's the difference exactly? Is the differe

What's your view on the Washington Post writing how Iraq has weapons of mass destruction? Legitimate opinion piece or fraudulent/faked proaganda?

I get that you're being sarcastic. But what's your actual point?

So the experts you know recommend a closed-source OS? They recommend something that no one has any idea what's inside above ANY OTHER consumer platform? You're joking, right? Can you put me in touch with these experts? I'd li

by RasputinsBro 9y ago
Yeah, experts also tell you to avoid any mobile OS and you're claiming that Signal is the best secure messenger. What am I missing here?

So why is it that people like Assange and Snowden, whose lives arguably depend on these matters, choose PGP over anything else? I'm no expert in security, but my intuition is that the likelihood that my signed ubuntu plus gpg leak secr

Could someone explain to me the lore that email can't be make secure? It seems to me that all the steps described on this article could be automated behind the scenes by a good local email client.

It's not. What you say is true, but there's a crucial difference. 65 million people live in the UK and all of those have to pay their taxes in GBP. Also, all listed companies in the UK are listed in GBP. That guarantees that there

You pay your bills with BTC? Don't you mean that you pay your bills with USD, which you buy by selling BTC?

Ok, I would own 1/4 of all bitcoin and make only $250m profit tomorrow. Happy? Do you miss the forest for the trees a lot, or only when you're on HN?

by RasputinsBro 9y ago
Except people are actually using GBP for something. BTC is just people holding on to it hoping it goes up. Put differently, are there any circumstances where people would buy GBP expecting it to go down? What about BTC? That right there tel

I would rather own all of Bitcoin. I'd sell it tomorrow and make about $1bn in profit and move on with my life. EDIT: I'm editing this because people are missing the point. My point wasn't about how when 1 owner has absolute

I'm not the guy you were talking to, but I still don't know what keybase actually is. Let me know if you understand it.

So they've rolled out their own encryption?

by RasputinsBro 9y ago
No, it's not. It says exactly nothing.

Thanks for that. Is Keybase Git all hype then? Because the alternatives seem a lot better. To be honest, I'm not even sure I understand what Keybase _is_.
