   I'm just going to point to FlapFlap [1] as well though it doesn't look like collisions are implemented yet. [1]: https://github.com/nathanborror/FlapFlap

   Do you mean that not all of them have accomplished something of merit in the sense that their contributions to feminism were unimportant? Or do you mean that some of them detracted from the discussion? I have to admit that I know very littl

   They were aware of the vulnerability for months. They chose not to adequately address it. A bug bounty wouldn't solve that problem.

   Shoot, as someone who made the same mistake of leaving my AWS keys in an open source project, I think I narrowly dodged a bullet. I didn't realize this risk was so high. Thanks for this post!

    I think this site works as a marketing tool. It has strong branding, and it automatically makes me feel more interested in the product even though I don't have any personal use for it. I don't think it works as a news brief. I had

    I am honestly surprised this link is on the front page of HN right now. It reminds me of what the newest tab on r/bitcoin looked like two weeks ago: http://imgur.com/C2fncy2

    I agree with your assessment that this isn't really "building" a computer/etc., but I think your tone is unwarranted here. This looks like a high-quality RPi starter kit, for which there is still a niche. Their "bui

    How feasible would it be to "guess" the private keys to a wallet? Could the computing power people dedicate to hashing be directed toward this? I'm sure this question makes it pretty obvious I'm not a cryptographer, but

    Hey guys, I'd like to clarify what I mean since I think you're missing the point of what I'm getting at (though I'm sure only a handful of people will make it this far down on a dying thread -- congrats if you did?). Thi

    It scares me that Facebook can completely block a link to something they don't like by calling it "malicious".

    Nothing about this article convinced me that "Mavericks is a move against the open web". Instead, I'm pretty convinced the title is just as sensationalist as the article linked at the bottom of the page: "Why did Apple n

    After spending the summer working on a project using Firebase, Angular, and D3, I definitely would have appreciated more articles on using D3 with dynamic data. Thanks for writing this up! I hope it helps some more people down the road.

    This is an awesome example of the kinds of things Docker is making possible. It seems like these PaaS solutions are just sprouting up left and right now, and it's exciting! It wasn't so long ago that "deploying" meant dr

    I took this class in person back in the winter. I was under the impression that this class would help me hone my web dev skills a bit, but it really turned out to be very focused on business dev. That said, Balaji provided some excellent ad

    I totally agree with this. I used to be pretty picky about how the term HTML5 is applied to new products, snippets, etc., but I've realized that it refers to a very specific context. It's much more efficient and descriptive to ass

    This article doesn't consider an aggregate like "nsa + national security agency." Plotting the two terms combined shows the Snowden story isn't clouding out the NSA searches. For people who might suggest plotting "e

    Isn't there a difference between text and language? I see a lot of these comments getting them confused.
