I'm guessing it's: a) RFID is readable from further away than they'd like you to think. b) You don't know when your RFID card is being read. c) Points a and b make tracking you really easy... for anyone to do. d) The only thing that should

Submission for leaks (usually) also involves some sort of authentication, however. And that authentication needs to be kept confidential. The result is that there's no way around a 'trusted' provider who signs releases, and that will inher

Indeed. It seems like there are plenty of alternatives to a vulnerable website (such as Freenet). In that sense Assange role would be reduced to authenticating and releasing, and wouldn't have a lot of control over the publishing side of t

Well, it depends. Testing/Evaluating/Disclosing an exploit isn't immoral in my mind, nor should it be illegal (in a perfect world). Disclosing private details of third paries is certainly immoral in my mind, and should be illegal. According

Seems like formalizing a constitution would be a good place to start... Finding out which laws violate your rights is pretty difficult if you don't have one.

I'm fairly certain that this is illegal in CA. This letter would certainly be very useful in a lawsuit demanding retroactive payment for overtime hours worked.

I really wish this would be available for Amsterdam. I feel like GVB (the organization which organized public transit in the city) wouldn't publish an API. Half the time I feel like the drivers don't even know where their trams are headed.

This is generally a good strategy even if it wasn't your mistake. Last week I wrote a short apology for something I'm sure I didn't do, which got my client in trouble with his business partner. The business partner sent my client an angry

I feel like hotornot solved this problem a lot time ago. Just let users rate other users, and let them set their thresholds. You could even have the software automatically calculate a score based on how quickly/often a user is skipped. Vul

Neat product. This won't work for us since I'm trying to get away from CIFS (it's the transition that's hard), but I can imagine many situations where this would be very useful. Sure beats fighting with windows replication, and has a lot o

If you want to spend a little bit more time for a better result (while learning a bit) you can homebrew a more solid solution. Directionals are pretty easy and fun to make out of everyday items, which do the trick quite well. Here's some e

Is it easier than when Hillary did it? Of course. Is it still incredibly dangerous, where every ascent is a serious gamble with you life? Yes. There have, even in recent years, been disastrous years where entire parties have been lost.

There's a lot of features that (I suspect) are prohibiting GV from getting a larger footing. This may be one of them, since GV is preaching liberation from being tied to your service provider... but then tying you to them as a service prov
