It makes total sense that the givernment would use it's forensic capabilities whenever the need arises. The question at hand is: "can the All Writs Act compel a company to proactively defeat its own security measures?" The an

Other commentary suggests this capability is targeted at the iPhone 5C, and that at least some newer models do have protections against this technique.

MirageOS does something similar with Ocaml. It uses this feature to compile Unikernals that run directly on Xen.

uBlock Origin and uMatrix allow you to do this. Just kill third-party resources.

uBlock Origin does that too, just need to turn on Advanced Mode via options.

IPFS does this by design. Everything is content-addressed so you immediately know if you've seen the resource before. This also enables chunk-level deduplication. If course the P2P nature of the project means other people can find out

Agree. There's a clear escalation path for this kind of thing. First time something weird happens, ignore it as a possible misunderstanding / off day. Second time, make a clear verbal rejection. Third time forward, you're dea

I think this is one of the most useful things a male team member can do to create a positive atmosphere and fight back against this nonsense. Speak up! Diffuse situations in the moment when you can, provide private feedback when needed, mak

Correct. It's harder to enforce judgements on this kind of thing though, because ambiguity exists about the intention. It's much easier to punish clear "do me a favor for the promotion/bonus" situations. I agree a

The affiliate link / skimlinking issue is pretty interesting. I don't like that Skimlinks changes urls on click, but the basic idea of automating an affiliate network is solid. The biggest problem with the web is how to properly p

No, it's understanding that different customers have different risk profiles and using that information to deploy your security resources efficiently. Verified accounts on Twitter use the same concept... not everybody needs that. It wo

I'm a heavy iPython user and thought iHaskell would be a good way to try out the language on my Mac. Unfortunately I just wound up in Cabal Hell. I spent a few hours tracking down broken dependencies on GitHub before giving up. This pr

You could bring this to a wider audience by integrating it with DuckDuckGo. You can arrange for DDG to send appropriate queries to your service with Spice [0]. If you don't want to handle the traffic, you can program an instant answer

Perhaps screen readers can be set to read out the major headings to help people figure out what part of the document they want to read. This would have a level of detail or verbosity control. First you read h1, find the right header. Then h

You are 100% correct that data availability is always the first problem to solve. However, I think this is addressed indirectly in his thesis that advanced analytics are brittle in a rapidly changing business. Any change that breaks your da

It's almost impossible to anonymize large data datasets like that. Significant aggregation is basically the only way to do it properly, and that significantly reduces the value of the data.

Yeah, very interested to see where this leaves R Studio. They don't seem like a direct competitor to Revolution Analytics. R Studio focuses on front end usability and ecosystem issues. Their R Studio IDE has great market share, and the

Very interesting to see. Quite unexpected, but compelling when combined with Azure Machine Learning. I wonder if we'll see R support integrated with Office in the future. Native R integration with Access and Excel could be pretty cool.

I found Patreon when artists I liked announced their participation. The marketing can simply be "hey <big OSS project>, make a profile and put a banner on your site!" Of course, that's.... marketing.
