I travel a lot and have stayed at 50+ airbnb places all around the world -- but the biggest problem is that the reviews are always so artificial you honestly have zero idea of what you're getting into. Worst of all is the amenities, wh

It's irrelevant[1] what the receiver is using (for fees), segwit just makes it cheaper when sending a transaction. This is because it applies a discount to the signature data. [1] There's a few byte different depending on the outp

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at. It sounds like you're describing a known-plaintext attack, which modern ciphers are not vulnerable to. And what you are describing makes it seem like full disk encryption would be to

That's odd indeed. I have a different 2FA seed for my retail and AWS account, but I've never tried using the wrong one but it's conceivably they allow you to use either

Fantastic, and nice to see them bringing down the Asian instance prices too. One thing I really wish they did however, is adopt Google's "Continuous Usage" billing. There's just too much mental overhead, uncertainty and

Which brings us to ocdtrekkie's point. FastMail a great niche product, but as paid product and one that doesn't sell itself on the privacy improvements over something like gmail, Google has absolutely nothing to worry about. Proto

That wasn't what I was referring to, and although I hold very little interest in bitcoin, I do know enough that "[...] you can't count it without access to the keys that let you spend it." is fundamentally wrong. However

When ever I read a post like this, I can't help but reflexively think that their interview process must be a pretty good filter. Going through your post history, I see only two years ago, you were asking: > my app will need account

A state sponsored attacker can reasonably easy generate a valid ssl certificate to man-in-the-middle any website, and replace it with what ever they please. However, they wouldn't be able to forge a signature if checked against the rig

If you're big enough that the 30% makes a difference, you're not going to want to risk having your app banned by flagrantly violating the ToS. And even if you ignore that, the extra friction you're going to cause users is goi
