   Doesn't this only work if the app is already installed? Because if the App Store is opened instead then the link data is lost AFAIK

   Nice. I’ve been having some issues with Adblock breaking a lot of websites, so I guess I’ll give this a try.

   I think this is a really good idea. I mean, today to most people the measure of whether or not a site is “secure” is just whether or not the lock icon displays when they’re browsing. An actual “public shaming” of sites with bad security is

   I still think it's funny that these guys clearly just went on HN and read about Bitcoin and randomly invested. Good for them though.

    It seems like they use the higher fares to the middle destination to compensate for the higher costs per person of the less popular leg. It's all a complicated algorithm but they have to provide reasonably reliable flights to all of th

    What could possibly be an explanation for this? Formatting thresholds?

    Apparently they insure you against someone breaking into your account, but this is clearly the case of a bunch of old boys who don't understand tech being in charge.

    It’s really great that BackBlaze does these real world, mass comparisons. Otherwise it’s just limited to what a single test says, often at a single time, with a single batch of drives from various manufacturers. These guys are probably one

    I believe that Crashlytics does scrape the process list with each crash. At least they used to. Not sure if they still do.

    Apple apparently did throttle this in a recent iOS update. You used to be able to scan thousands of URLs quickly, but that now takes longer. Most likely due to abuse.

    Ad networks have been doing this for a long time on iOS. Also... Crash reporting SDKs. Things like Crashlytics.

    Yup. This is similar to how App Map works. http://appmap.io

    I feel like the biggest problem we have is that whatever can be done will be done by other nations, so the USA has to break rules too. :(

    What else is there? I personally don't like the idea of not having a two-factor authentication given that someone could theoretically "brute force" the keys... although extremely unlikely in a non-LAN context.

    I disagree... My guess is that if you choose to enable features like that you're most likely opening a door, but if you don't it won't compromise anything. At least, that's how any competent developer would code it.

    I feel like Groups wouldn't be an app worth downloading unless you were a heavy user of that feature, which is not most people and therefore a dud by default

    This would take 12 months in the states and cost $1200x as much because of the Union labor.

    Would be curious to hear if they're using some sort of authentication for the client (ie. private key) as a way to bottleneck that. Would suck to have to relay everything through a smartphone for now... but there's always a better
