You both have to prove that you own the ability to create dns (with blogspot sorta) and the actual content. The CA provider both lists the record name and value. You do have a good point though. I'm sure there are some services right n

Well, one way to automatedly ensure someone controls all the subdomains a wildcard certificate gives would be to ask them to create dns records indicating that. Basically, the CA could say "you want *.example.com, then create a dns txt

It didn't affect the large majority, as I said. Youtube and Google+ have merged (in case you didn't miss the large outrage over that). It was after Google softened its enforcement a bit, and the enforcement was never good. I also

I like google, but your point that "different account for youtube and gmail, Google is perfectly happy with you doing exactly that" is false. It might be true in the general case, but Google did make a significant effort to requir

Right now, nodejs shines anywhere you need websockets and I personally want to see the modern web move to websockets. It allows for much more cool interactions than the server being unable to get data to the client without the client either

"modern web" doesn't have to be node based, but just about any web app is a suitable use case for node. The exceptions are web-apps that require heavy backend computation (javascript/node sucks at that), but even then yo

I don't see a way to add txt records, which are important for many things. Nor do I see srv records or others. The documentation also doesn't make it clear because it links TinyDNS format, but says you're using a simplified v

You could, but it would change scope a little. Right now, it's reasonable to expect that information will not be leaked to external servers, but user interactions can be faked. On an information only webpage (no user interactions) ther

That's not a solution for the general problem of getPixel + iframes though. Here, I'll give a simple example. Let's say there's a site that uses cookies to track logins. For example, hacker news. Now, hacker news does ha

I find your claims that "worry comes in when a 51% minor is a bad actor" and "safe in GHash's hands" to be conflicting. All it takes is one bad actor at GHash, as supposedly happened with the gambling incident, and

There are no ramifications for the USPTO. In addition, approving a patent takes almost no work while not approving one takes significantly longer and can have more bouts of back and forth. The USPTO right now operates on a very loose defini

I wholeheartedly agree, especially with the "unable to read a line" comment the author has. Perhaps he has never seen the "Lazy" nodejs library which lets you simply do new Lazy(fs.createReadStream("data.txt").

I understand that logic and have heard it before. However, it has a fundamental problem. Patents do not protect abstract ideas; they protect concrete inventions. I cannot patent "a means of traveling backwards in time" because tha

This is one of the reasons software patents are dumb imo; they don't actually share sufficient details to implement the idea any more easily. In other fields, such as mechanical engineering, patents are required to describe an inventio

I've never used Teamcity, but it looks nice. I do agree chef/puppet can be overkill when you can just do custom AMIs. Definitely make sure you're using proper version control... Honestly, you don't give enough informatio

This is a bad idea for several reasons. The first issue is security. Loads of text editors create temporary files (.swp, .php~, etc) in the same directory as the file you're editing. These can render as text instead of going through ph

Why do you even need to root a Nexus 4? It just lets you unlock / root it out of the box with no more effort than plugging in a usb cable and installing fastboot/adb.

Your answer is wrong. He says "Just given the raw zipped data and no size metadata". The page calculates it using exactly that size metadata he excluded. The question, as I see it, is if that size metadata (the 4.3 gigs at the bot

What would be great is if Google supported other 64-bit browsers on windows. Mozilla doesn't really officially support it, but they've provided 64-bit nightly builds for quite a while now. For example, the current nighly 64-bit ca
