Not sure if I understood it correctly - so there's a building that would collapse sooner or later in a very dangerous way, but it's still there after almost 40 years? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citigroup_Ce

That's my problem with EFF as well. They mostly concentrate on "human rights" in general, but they're still "electronic". Sounds like a dissonance in their mission.

So you'd say that it's a good thing? How is hidden complexity good?

I'll quote @slackstation from his comment in an entry from a month ago: > I hope you like zombies because this is how you get zombies.

I would say that this is a good argument against using such a complicated spec. This kind of constructs should be explicit - if in a build system at all. I hate Make because of all the crazy "build systems" that should have been w

I guess that this boils down to "always use full-disk encryption". Just remember to benchmark your CPU to make sure you're using hardware-accelerated AES or you're going to lose a lot of performance from this SSD...

Based on last time when someone decided to rethink PID1 and wrote systemd, I'm kind of afraid of any research in this field... EDIT: flicked through the article and yup, it's 2010 and systemd is announced: "You probably guess

One use case is the GSM network ran on Chaos Communication Congress hacker conference in Hamburg. They created an internal network for the attendees to - among other reasons - communicate for free: https://events.ccc.de/cong

The amount of useful information in this article is so impressive that I wish that I could upvote it twice. I'm getting the impression that I could spend hours just looking up the Wikipedia explanations of mental quirks listed...

I'm getting the impression that our problems with caching are related to the way we abstract computer memory. If languages are built with the assumption that you can jump around your RAM with no cost, I guess that can result in code th

I'm saying that it's surprising to me given their population and economic force. This is the moment I realized that they have gone a completely different direction.

My impression (and I believe that it's a good thing) is that English is swallowing languages word for word. Polish for example - Poland is a country pretty much positively obsessed with US, especially the older people. There's a l

One thing that I find troubling is code review within FLOSS organisations and how Github doesn't let maintainers push to my PR. It's annoying to get your patch rejected because of a typo or lack of squashed commits, for example.

The thing that struck me is that they decided to rewrite the system without talking to the customer. I believe that if they kind of sold this first, they might have gone a different path.

Damnit, that's no good news! :/ Uber was my #1 example of how modern companies are trying to kill the culture of tipping and it looks like I will have to look for #2.

This is truly depressing. Is there any backup plan in case the appeal gets rejected?

That's an impressive pace. I wonder if they're going to use their competitive advantage to reshape how HTTPS works at some point... Edit: the 1M news was 45 days ago - details in the first comment: https://news.ycombina

The problem is that it's firefox-only.

The problem with caching is that you're sharing the referer with the canonical URL. Another problem is that you're using someone else's bandwidth. And if you combine the two, you can be sure that info about your visitors will

Yeah, but per domain. Unless you use something like cjdns, if you end up with static.yourlovelydomain.com, the resource's going to get downloaded from scratch at the first attempt. If we had checksums attached to resources, there'

I would say that a possible solution is also to better rank websites that mention the checksums of their external resources and make web browsers keep them in cache much longer... if pretty much every website uses jQuery, perhaps we should

I flicked through the book and to be honest, I was disappointed by it. Perhaps it's nice as a curiosity for beginners, but I really doubt whether forensic analysts or penetration testers would really benefit from it. I'd assume th

This is a bit worrying... a blatantly law-ignoring organization (let's skip ethics for a while) whose actions are largely ignored by governments is rolling out surveillance-friendly technology. Is it just me...? Also, keep in mind thei

I'm not saying that we should go back to those times, I'm saying that we should be aiming for decentralization in the long run. It's not like the security paradigms we had back in the time are tied to decentralization. They&#

I'd say that if it wasn't for Facebook, a lot of communication would take place over safer channels. If you doubt whether Facebook is insecure, click the "include 'only me' activity" in your activity log and im

Hopefully at some point they'd get too dumb to be able to enter the congress and something a bit cooler will ensue from the imminent anarchy... In the meantime, say "hi" to Trump.

Nonetheless, the amount of hype in the original news clearly show the state of paranoia the contemporary society is in.
