Oh yeah - I use about 5 different profiles with one main profile. It's not a solution, though: I want to be logged into main@gmail.com and log into other sites with randomstring@gmail.com and I'd prefer to not have to be logged in

Yet another use case that's more difficult now: I use randomstring@gmail.com for some sites where I expect to get lots of spam, and then forward email based on some filters.

I use Firefox... and I don't think I wan't to be logged into multiple accounts - it's just that now Persona requires it.

Huh - it does work, as you say. I guess I misremembered. EDIT: Now I remember my use case. My email is actually myname+randomstring+website@otherdomain.com, and so I want to sign in with the same randomstring every time. Previously when sig

The only bad thing with this new Gmail integration is that it gets more annoying if you have multiple Gmail accounts, or aren't logged in to the Gmail account you want to use. And some things, like using myname+website@gmail.com does

It would also prevent throwaway accounts. Sometimes throwaways do provide insightful comments.

I'd say that a clear goal of that post is to emphasize that it was a choice . To me Spothawk is rubbing in the fact that it was a decision.

I sent them a proposal to change that. :-)

Yes. However, if you do that, perhaps you're less motivated to find solutions to other, equally important problems with HTTPS. Enabling perfect forward secrecy is only useful if we also eliminate the threat of traffic analysis of

Yeah, it seems to work better in Chrome than in Firefox. :-(

Not possible with Firefox.

New JavaScript features do just that: 2) Globals with 'x = 1' throws an error when run in strict mode. 3) They couldn't change the meaning of 'var', but they introduced 'let' which does just that - applies

Well, considering 97% percent of the page load is images (average size: 400 kB), and the page contains slides that explain and complement the article... yeah, I think it does!

Yeah, that sounds like a bug. I filed it: https://github.com/haiwen/seafile/issues/299

If they commit code that is fucking stupid, they should be called fucking stupid for it. Why? Wouldn't you achieve the same thing by calling the commit fucking stupid? Why resort to personal attacks?

Because at the very least it doesn't use tracking cookies, which we know Google does. Whether it tracks based on IP and/or browser fingerprint is impossible to tell - there we have to take their word for it.

Not my searches. If I need something location sensitive, I have no problem adding the location in the query.

And since XUL is not standardized, Mozilla has removed support for that in webpages. Try going to http://www.hevanet.com/acorbin/xul/top.xul in Firefox: "This page uses an unsupported technology that is no lo

But... aren't headers also encrypted? Won't the "Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2013 14:20:43 GMT" header make it unlikely that there will be more than x000 copies of the exact same data encrypted?

by Skalman 13y ago
Assuming you're sarcastic, but don't you think it's right to punish sites that don't use the best encryption strategies? I'd support three stages: 1) no encryption, 2) some/partial encryption, 3) "perfect&

I agree. The solution is a token fee.

I lived in a city where there were free buses for a few months. It didn't work, since drunks would come sit in the bus for warmth (and drink, despite the rules). My conclusion is that, though I like the idea of free buses, there shou

I think the point is that that is not necessarily true for all hash functions, since reordering your example with SHA1 renders it weaker. If I understood correctly sha1(sha1(secret) + message) is not safe, because from that hash you c

I think you're not quite understanding how it works. They retrieve the data from e.g. Bing behind the scenes and the 3rd parties have no way to connect a query to an individual user. That said, maybe there'd be an issue if you ent

It's almost an anagram: patriot -> traitoP, so replace 'p' with 'r'. So the difference is literally the letters PR.

I found it suspicous because in most other threads I've seen a large portion commenters are more worried about the details of the surveillance than Snowden's motives - here it seems reversed. Additionally, to me it seems very poss
