Another thing in the security tool chest is SubResource Integrity. If your JS is hosted on a CD you can put a hash of the expected JavaScript within the HTML script declaration. When the browser downloads it, it'll verify the hash befo

Additionally, I believe they functioned as a hive mind. It would be like an individual trying to keep their password secret from another part of their body. That brings up an interesting hypothetical... Is it possible to have a password tha

I'm not the original poster, but unless you're talking about a very simple embedded system, most computing devices have lots of areas for malware to live that will survive power cycles. HDD firmware, graphics card firmware, variou

I have three young kids and it's very difficult to go shopping with them. If they're not causing problems, they're taking up space in the cart. Sometimes when my wife and I go together with the kids, we push one cart with the

I believe you're thinking of Chelsea Manning (Formerly Bradley Manning). If I remember correctly, she took a blank CDRW printed to look like a Lady Gaga album into the secure area to burn files. Even put on headphones to bop her head a

I can easily imagine that state hackers in Russia would want to penetrate the DNC. It's full of great political information on one of their rivals. Releasing it? I'm not sure if that is traditional spy craft. Julian Assange has hi

I have several back end servers that are IPv6 only. Since they are just used by our front-end servers it doesn't matter that much. It is nice to see 0 random port scans and SSH brute-force attacks. IPv6 space is so big it helps give so

I wouldn't doubt that Google participates in the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children database of child porn hashes in order to identify and shut down accounts with illegal images in their Google Drive or Gmail. If this i

Tor has suffered a lot of bad PR, FUD, and failures lately. I'm beginning to lose faith in the network itself. I attempted to ask some of the developers if there was, or any interest in, a Javascript version of Tor. My thought was that

The new steemit.com alternative to reddit is entirely powered by Ethereum on the backend. It works remarkably well and I think a similar system could power a decentralized torrent site. It might even allow for benefits like people who post

There are ways to "launder" the payments. Could use JoinMarket to tumble the funds to a decent extent. Could also send the BTC to shapeshift.io and convert it to Monero and then convert it back to Bitcoin at xmr.to. I am really sh

I was unaware that Jalopnik did more than report on car-related news. Historically, the Turkish military has been a sort of check on the democratically elected government. If the government gets too secular or gets packed with fundamentalis

Oh, I agree that the $1300 tablet has great specs. It needs them to run Qubes (which I run on my desktop machine) I was just saying that if your primary goal is adding a bit of tinfoil to your desire for security and privacy, it's easy

That's a ridiculous price. I just got an older tablet and installed an aftermarket ROM without the Google frameworks. Then I put stickers over the cameras, and opened it up to disconnect the microphone and sever the electrical traces o

This is from the same company that has seized control of the development of the main Bitcoin codebase and has been making changes to cause problems that their Lightning Network claims to solve.

Hey jwcrux! Do you work for duo? If so, I have a suggestion. Making a github repo for the phishing email templates would allow third-party researches to make some more templates for you. Personally, I would love to see Slack.

That's a fun idea, and obviously a long way out, but there would have to be a lot of advances to make it possible. Not all asteroids are made of the same stuff, so the robots would have to know many possible materials that the robots c

All our manipulation of particle trajectories use electromagnetic forces. If we were to be able to come up with the technology to manipulate the strong force, would that open up possibilities for alternative colliders? One problem that I ca

Rickshaws are pretty awesome vehicles. In the US, most of the people who have a bicycle or motorcycle also have a car. Micro cars are a good middle ground between them in terms of passenger or cargo capacity, but they're usually too ex

I think this is just the unorganized data dumps direct from the archive team. Most likely someone will now go through and combine all the dumps and make it more usable and put it at a different URL

I would rather see the OS let people load the cert but then require the user enter their PIN, password, or unlock drawing. Then the cert can be signed by the PIN/etc and trusted. This would allow certs to be added, but prevent them fro

Sometimes company leaders have severe problems with ethics. As mentioned in other comments, even YC has had companies that have bundled adware/malware with software, practiced dark patterns, hidden news of security breaches, etc. I ten

I just replied up in the thread, but overall the experience has been great. It was just too much of a culture shock for my wife and kids. If you're looking for an inexpensive place on the mainland, I would suggest looking at small town

You're picking a great place to live. The people are friendly, fairly low crime rate, and the weather is amazing. I don't think it's been over 80 since I've been here. Everyone here grows coffee or bananas, so make sure
