   5:56: "So Eventbrite is one of your customers?" "They are one of our customers" Truth value of this statement: 10/10. And it's a video interview, so you don't add caveats like "oh, and they heard about us because their CEO is an investor" t

   Who asked her that question? I didn't hear anything like that from the interviewer. We, the internet, need a little more back up for your insinuation that she "routinely" makes these mistakes. Or that a mistake was even made in this case. A

   If Eventbrite actually uses it, it doesn't matter to me whether they heard about it from their CEO or not. In fact, lots of great businesses had their investors (or their friends) as first customers.

   Do you think you're the only one to notice the similarity, or are you saying he took something from your article?

    This idea is too obvious to stake any sort of claim. And once you've decided to do it, there aren't many variations on the theme. Basically anyone who has programmed with VoIP and has a callbox has thought about or done this. E.g., I did th

    I could be wrong, but I don't think NaCl is portable anywhere but x86 or x86_64. ARM needs good crypto too. Though I suppose we could ask for ARM support in NaCl too since we're asking for ponies :) Also, does NaCl support signing? I think

    Yeah, I don't think a KDF makes arbitrarily bad passwords OK. They just move the needle and thus increase the cost of the attack. In many cases, the derived key can be cached by the legitimate user, so you can throw a few seconds at it on t

    An attacker has to brute force the whole universe of human-friendly passwords. So 1000x the computation is a lot more painful for the attacker than for a legitimate user who only uses the operation occasionally (create/change password and l

    Well, more explicitly PBKDF2 or scrypt. Some people might take "salted hash" as MD5(password+salt) or something.

    I don't suppose you're planning to tie these recommendations up into an open source C99 library with an NaCl-like crypto_box interface? Oh, and can I have a pony too? :)

    If these guys had thought a little more about it, it would have gone like this: 1. Brian asks the techy guys at Gizmodo for their help in identifying and returning a strange phone to its rightful owner 2. Gizmodo hires Brian as a consultant

    This is awesome! I wonder how they achieved it. Normal boot times for Beagleboard are at least 15-20 seconds. Perhaps it is using some sort of software suspend/resume functionality? I suspect initializing memory by copying an image directly

    This is not about making it easier to write email clients or servers, it's about making it easier to write email apps. Currently, you either have to write a plugin for an email client or interact with IMAP directly. Opening up email to main
