   IPv6 addresses have more than one : and have a certain format -- you can distinguish with a simple rule.

   Thanks. Should be default though. Terribly annoying that this isn't default in all terminals by now.

   Can we please for the love of all that is good and holy have intelligent highlighting of IPv6 addresses ???!?!? When I double click on an IPv6 address it should highlight the whole thing. Bonus points if it also gets %dev for link-scoped

   An obvious candidate for a next step in this slippery slope is criticism of religion. Will comments criticizing fundamentalist beliefs (young Earth creationism, etc.) be deleted within 24 hours? Identity politics is normally associated with

    It's probably the first patent, which seems to cover... a ton of things . Seems like the first patent could potentially cover everything from MPTCP to VPNs to any P2P network to BitTorrent to certain IPv6 transition mechanisms to cert

    Today's Internet industry is all about vertical lock-in, app store lock-down, and surveillance (customer is product), so an "eyeball grab" and "platform grab" for VR is to be expected. This is particularly true when

    That would be a rational response. The psychology here is not rational and is based on evolution under conditions where small tribes competed for scarce resources over a wide area. Scarcity -> Identify a vulnerable out group -> Attack

    This is a baby step in the direction of legitimate MITMing of SSL, which is something many of Blue Coat's customers would love. SSL's entire security profile is built around trust in a huge number of CAs, and if Blue Coat and othe

    I am both positive and negative on it. It's useful and fun to a large number of people and definitely has some non-trivial value. Does it have enough value to justify this kind of money being plowed into it? That's where I'

    My first question would be: how hard would it be for them to become profitable right now? That translates to: how manual is their business? How much cost in the form of wages, contractors, etc. could they shed? If the answer is that they co

    You hit on a major question: how many startup-startups are there? (a.k.a. economic incest) Things like Product Hunt, Clerky, etc. obviously qualify, but what about Stripe? They started that way but have diversified quite a bit into more sta

    Can you actually have a city where nobody $150k/year salary can actually afford to live there? Of course your argument does boil down to the old "markets can defy reality longer than you can short them." Shorting is high risk

    Complexity is evil in security, and opt-in security generally doesn't work. SELinux is both complex and opt-in.
