You might want to look into nix and nix-docker. Nix is a package management system which knows the full (yes completely full) transitive dependency tree of every package it installs, so you can have an absolutely minimal set of software in

This'd give you an artificial sense of security though. There's nothing stopping the device's firmware from injecting exploits into files that you put onto the device. So you tell the device to store workReport.pdf, and it st

I'm not sure I understand why you don't want your account to have a private G+ page. Why would you miss out on a service you like because you don't want to have to not use another one?

If they're smart, it feels like the shady groups would try to push for adoption of something like BitMessage to stop this kind of side-channel information leakage.

It's not flat design at all. They spent like 3/4 of the design segment in the keynote talking about how everything has a depth, and how things cast shadows on each other. Have we reached a point where anyone using color is ripping

I think you misread. They claimed 20-30 _dollars_ per performance. not cents.

I think a 51% attack would be really scary in this case, and quite realistic. If the US and the rest of the EU all decided they wanted some domain off the internet, combined they'd probably have enough power to fork the blockchain.

I'm not sure how you think the price isn't competitive. Can you link us to other products in the market which can compete with the chromebox on price?

USP is Unique Selling Point. There's lots of technologists on HN and lots of business types, and only a subset of each understand the other's lingo. People should try and explain their lingo when they use it, for the benefit of th

Because it appears to be open source and peer to peer, so you don't need to trust Google at all?

I might be alone, but I think I'd refund every app I purchased if I could within 48 hours. Even 24 would be too short for me. I'd be able to pick up new games every week for my weekly commute and never have to pay for them.

There is a short, free mandatory trial period on every app in the play store. The first time you purchase an app you have 15 minutes, during which time you can go back to the store and hit "refund" to reverse the charge and uninst

I think Wedding Songs Planner[ - Professional] is a much better name than Wedding Songs - Professional. It much better says what the app does, as the second name sounds like it's just a list of wedding songs. It's hard to comment on the ico

They'll still no doubt be using geolocation to filter results, as well as time of day, browser being used, etc... At their scale, they can no doubt see patterns in data that make it worth personalising search based on those factors, regardl

I might be revealing my stupidity here, but surely your ISP can MITM the HTTPS handshake and decrypt all of your traffic? Unless you have a pre-arranged key that hasn't travelled through their network.

I've never heard of this before, but it looks amazing! I'm guessing a spot on the boat is $millions/year though, so well out of reach for myself.

First off, the website looks like a 2005 web hosting provider's website, complete with glossy gradients and a huge horizontal banner, which put me off. Also, my eye isn't drawn to anything on the page that says "THIS IS FACEBOOK FOR MAC", p

> write one paper and reuse it for all classes. Careful with this. My school, at least, treats this as academic fraud unless you have agreed in advance with each professor that you will be multiple-submitting that piece of work.
