   I've not yet had the pleasure, but despite the insight lholden's shared about the contentious relationship between the BSDs, I have a really hard time believing anyone in this industry would be so petty. Its clear, however, that t

   I agree that cloud hosting opens up many new vectors of attack, but I completely disagree about building the app from the ground up. The larger your app is, the less likely it is to be secure. A better strategy is to keep your app lean and

   I'm guessing it is of modest severity, if they even feel they can _get away_ with keeping it to themselves. But its still deeply troubling.

   What good reason could their possibly be for not disclosing a hole to FreeBSD? Especially if it effects networking infrastructure.... 1. Government gag order? I'd call this a "good reason", but it wouldn't clear my consc

   No trouble, I'm experiencing similar problems with trust trying to get my pentesting company started. The skepticism is frustrating, if understandable. :) From what you've said, I'm inferring that when one utilizes an triangu

   HN actually use replies, rather than @tags. Below olalonde's comment, you'll observe theres a small "reply" link. I can understand how it'd be easy to miss though. Paul Graham often advises people to "do things

   I've seen a number of scams revolving around forex/sports arbitrage, and it would warm my heart if you could appropriate their marketing techniques for a genuine product. There was one in particular which I read all the copy for i

    I'd argue differently because the bitcoins are destroyed in the process. In my view, they become the ASCII art. But I suppose it could just as easily be said that you purchased ASCII art hosting from the blockchain.

    Tor is certainly far more decentralized, but you seem to harbor a common misconception that Tor doesn't reuqire trust. The exit node of your circuit (the last hop before the "real" internet) handles your directly. At best, th

    I agree, but people have found some pretty creative "use values" for bitcoins: http://www.righto.com/2014/02/ascii-bernanke-wikileaks-photo... tl;dr by sending bitcoins to an fake address, you can use pu

    I'm attempting to replicate this. Searching the last sentence (which is behind the paywall) brings it up in google right away, so I think you're right. However, using Googlebot's user agent doesn't work, so it must be sl

    I agree with you about SSL, client-side hashing seems like a solution for a very mature website with clientèle who strongly value their privacy. Something like LavaBit comes to mind (RIP). But "useless" is too strong a word. It is

    Respectfully, just because hackers can drive a truck through your app doesn't mean they should get to fly a plane, too. Its also easier for your users if you put a CAPTCHA in you registration form rather than your login form. This can

    I did some freelance coding over Craigslist, and their account system is optimized for people who run serial ads. To make a new ad is the same, and its kind of a pain, but after that you can repost, cross post, edit, etc. with ease. I'
