Does this mean that Google implemented a Persona endpoint for Gmail, or that Mozilla is now using OpenID (or whatever it is Google uses now) to piggyback on Google's existing login mechanisms?

Sure, but look at what happened to Arc. There was excitement in the beginning, but since pg wasn't really taking patches (except bug fixes), the community forked the project and started working cool stuff on their own. Eventually, pg r

The problem is that running an MPI program on a remote node starts a new non-interactive SSH session. That SSH session has no parent login session, so it won't inherit environment variables from any session that read the .profile file.

Correct, and not only is it never in the clear over the network, the key is stored such that Mozilla cannot decrypt your content. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-sync-data-secur...

Even if you agree that rights exist independently from any written record of those rights, there is still the fact that the public's concept of rights tends to change as culture changes. Despite the efforts of philosophers to connect r

Is email traffic typically encrypted between major providers? E.g. could a network attacker, located between Google and Microsoft, intercept unencrypted traffic between gmail and hotmail addresses?

To be fair, asm.js isn't really JS. It's more like a low-level DSL. The fact that it happens to be a subset of JS is just a convenience for backwards compatibility. At any rate, from the perspective of the developer, it doesn't really make

I think pg's Stuff essays is relevant here: http://www.paulgraham.com/stuff.html Facebook is just a new trend we'll have to resist as a society. The current generation will probably succumb to it, but give it another 50 years or so and so

Are you talking about the speed of the compiler itself, or the speed of the code produced by the compiler? If you're talking about the speed of produced code, then I think the compiler is actually fairly decent, since they rely LLVM to opti

Does this release have better performance than previous releases? I enjoy using tmux, but for some applications (i.e. with large amounts of text spewing to the console) it just hasn't (historically) performed as well as GNU screen.

I don't understand this point: "The Pledge remains in force for the life of the patents, even if we transfer them." I realize Google can claim whatever they want, but I don't see how they enforce this pledge for other entities which inherit

Yes, but the owners have four different support lines to call to get their account back, so the odds of it staying compromised is that much lower.

Where I have been (in the US), work done for a course is always owned by the person who is paying for the course, which in the case of an undergraduate paying their own tuition, is the student. Basically, the person paying owns the work. If

Ad blockers can block this the same way they currently block JS links, by searching for ads embedded in the page and removing them. If the ads contain any sort of recognizable div wrapper, blocking them will be trivial. But even if they don

Of course. But that's very different from hacking the user's own machine, which effectively provides the hacker with access to everything the user does. Hacking a single service means that you merely get access to that one service, plus any

If "whatever they switch to" is ChromeOS + web apps, then it's going to be much more expensive to get past a Chrome sandbox than any of the current exploitation favorites. Sure, it's not impossible, but at least making exploitation more exp

This product already exists, in at least proof of concept form: http://www.firefoxwithbing.com/ I think this is sufficient to show that they're at least thinking about it.

It is perhaps worth noting that the reason why this can happen is that the group of people running Glee and the people handling copyright takedowns are two completely different sets of people. Unless this event catalyzes communication betwe

I'd really like to know the technical reasons why the lighting appears different in 48 fps than 24 fps. His paraphrase from John Knoll was interesting, but didn't entirely satisfy my desire to know what really is going on here.

Hm, maybe I'm wrong about that applying to posts. Or maybe there's a bug. At any rate, sorry for implying you didn't know about the formatting.
