Spotting a phishing form only seems like "basic instruction" to you because you're highly computer-literate. It's not; it involves understanding at least some of DNS and the difference between hosts, domains and TLDs, URLs, HTTPS, and not t

Does OpenDylan have the tool support that Apple offered? I vaguely remember the tools being half of the utility here.

But that's hardware accelerated. There's a lot of brain given over to doing just that. When you stop that working by presenting the conversation in an incompatible codec (threaded), you switch over to the equivalent of software decoding. An

Turns out people are actually very, very good at following a conversation. They hold the state in their heads. Try going to a bar and sitting at a table with eight or nine people at it. If you could write a transcript you'd see the conversa

It's not the cosmetic problems of the phpBB design you've brought over so much as it is the fundamental problems. Take, for example, the list of threads. Just like phpBB, there are lots of columns of numbers, and stats, nearly all unnecessa

Oh dear, this is what I feared from The People That Brought You StackOverflow: Numbers everywhere . Thousands of tiny icons, all alike. Stackoverflow seems to me to be a giant case of post hoc ergo propter hoc. "We made a site driven by po

Looks good. Similar in principle to how a lot of newspaper production systems (Quark Publishing System/Quark CopyDesk, Atex etc) work - store major revisions alongside autosaves. One comment: the diff screen is a bit too programmery. "har"

I'm talking about paying off a credit card with the same credit card. And the leveraged buyout, yes, the board could pretty much raise the cash to buy control -- but, and this is the point, they couldn't do it with Apple's cash pile , whic

Apple can't "buy itself" with its cash any more than you can use your credit card to pay your credit card bill. Apple is owned by its shareholders. That cash pile ultimately belongs to them. To "buy itself", it would have to purchase itself

That's not IT issuing you a new password, that's you changing it. The point is that biometrics are perfectly feasible as one of the two factors (instead of something you know) and can still be revoked.

Well, in most cases there are nine other digits you can use. That's probably a reasonable amount of redundancy.

If the proxy also gives you certs to trust it can. Many corporate proxies do this (silently, as they control the PCs) and I've seen more than one academic campus where to access the wifi you have to accept a certificate. On iOS this comes u

In all these cases, you measure benefits against costs. Costs (eg negative impact, not price) of limiting firearms: low, mostly political. Costs of limiting cars: catastrophic, economy-devastating. That's why we should stop at firearms.

Fine, /s/children/people. Argument is precisely the same. And you have less of them dying of gunshots wounds by having fewer guns/ammunition. That won't stop knife crime, sure, but let's revisit that discussion when as many people are dying

Thanks, that makes sense. The rules are unchanged, but they refer to db fields, that themselves are protected by the rules. I was critical of the firebase security situation when they launched, but this looks like a good solution indeed.

Very interesting. How are rules updated dynamically? Take a Flickr picture for example. I start it as public, then later decide I want to make it friends & family. How does the client side securely update those rules?

It's more than just privacy, it's about utility: there's a huge difference in signal between an active recommendation for something from someone I trust, and the firehose of seeing everything they click on. The latter just tells me what hea

Not if the terms of use of the "someone else" explicitly prohibit such activity. This is particularly common with local information providers (eg business/event listings).

The line is not imaginary. See this very thread for examples of people bullied for choosing the "wrong" toys. If you build a toy that more girls than boys like, that's one thing. If your marketing says (either implicitly or explicitly) "thi

That's preferences expressed at an individual level. That's fine. The problem is when you say in aggregate "only girls will like this toy, you are boy, ergo you shouldn't want this" and have marketing that either excludes or strongly sugges
