Indeed. Until John and Marco talk about the Mac Pro for an entire episode. That's when the dam. finally. breaks. :-)

Some variation of "no or very low fees" appears 5 times in this article. Marc is doing a good job (re)setting the expectation that transaction fees are not going away. a16z's bitcoin companies are just going to utterly gut th

The core trouble I've seen with non-technical people on Windows 8 isn't Metro, its confusion/paralysis with a mobile-like interface suddenly on a desktop. People had 5-6 years experience with touch computing on mobile devices

Indeed. There seems to be a big disconnect here from Yale. They collected this data and made it available. However the Dean and Yale's main problem seems to be [1] that YBB+ wasn't showing all of the data. That the numerical ratin

I can understand the importance of keeping up with people, but I think Facebook lets you do it at such scale that it becomes meaningless. I care what's going on in the life of the best man at my wedding. I care less what's going o

Thunderbolt doesn't provide raw access to DMA (and thus the ability to directly access any process's memory) the way Firewire did.

The raw memory itself isn't safe either. Ed Felton did some great work (2008) where he physically removed the sticks of DRAM from one computer, stuck them in another, and read their contents. But doesn't DRAM lose it's conten

+1 on Hypercritical's discussion on widely used file systems and their problems. When I saw this article on Ars I was surprised that John Siracusa wasn't the author. Somewhere he must be smiling.

How can T3mpmail tout its security/privacy and ask"Want to have a private conversation without being snooped on?", when their SSL configuration allows for non-Forward Secrecy key exchanges? In other words, sniff their traffic

Not likely Thomas, but still, would look kind of silly for someone who spoke at BlackHat for years about JavaScript and XSS like I did to release a free tool with a DOM-based XSS... :-)

Ahhh. Thanks. All info from the web server, such as the protocols returned in the NPN extension and the Server header were passing through an HTML Encode function. Except there was one case where, if the site didn't support SPDY, and SPDY c

I've wanted to add something like this to spdycheck.org. Right now I know of mod_spdy with Apache, and nginx has it too. Hosting providers are backing it in as well (Dreamhost has it as a option, with mod_pagespeed as well which is pretty c

Sure thing. It was just so weird before that they had implemented the NPN extension into their ServerHello, but only advertised http/1.1. Its possible I'm just in a big A/B testing group, but unlikely. Really should have a way to poll hostn

Thomas, Man, if only there was something negative and bad around semicolon insertion, besides JSLint yelling at you ;-) I appreciate the props, especially coming from someone of your caliber. The talk was exactly what you said it was, a sur
