   This is true. Also, a dictatorship is much simpler than a democracy, and easier to bring about.

   I think this is actually an argument for open protocols. If Google put this clause in the terms of service for Gmail, you could switch to Yahoo! Mail, or you could switch to Fastmail.fm, or whatever else. But when it's a proprietary social

   Yeah, I'm glad we all have higher standards these days, even though it makes it harder for me as a non-designer. These days when I see something like Pinboard's front page it's kind of a shock. I couldn't possibly bring myself to pay for so

   Glad to have brought up the issue. Sounds like you should talk to 'randomstring, above.

   So are webspam and SEO abuse, but just to a small number of humans and not the ones performing the search. :)

   Nope. Caching proxies aren't possible, but the browser cache still works fine.

   Awesome, sounds like you're on it. And yeah, there are sites where it's far too easy to find porn when you don't mean to, e.g. Tumblr.

   This is great, but I'm confused by the part about avoiding porn: > Common Crawl will use blekko’s metadata to improve its crawl quality, while avoiding webspam, porn, and the influence of excessive SEO (search engine optimization) Why

    Is the blog post the only direct documentation of what needs to change to upgrade to 1.0? Details seem relatively scant. But maybe that's because response.json() is the only feature I'm using that changed...

    Well yes, forgetting that you signed up is still possible if there's a confirm step. Being signed up (maliciously or accidentally) by someone else, however, is the situation I was referring to and confirm steps exist specifically to prevent

    Good for you. Sounds like you don't need this program. Since you're aware that there are people who treat "Downloads" and "Desktop" like a flat filesystem, presumably you can understand why this would be useful to them and others.

    So what happens if it's determined that Mr. Systrom did lie under oath? Does he face criminal charges, is Facebook fined, or what? I assume it's too late to split up the companies again.

    Great explanation, just want to add that when you use Tor hidden services to communicate (i.e. no exit node involved or needed), everything is end-to-end encrypted and the MITM attack scenario doesn't apply. Hidden services are also not vul

    It's a question of adoption. Asking people to install a browser addon is easier and less hassle than a whole new application. I use Thunderbird myself, but if we want email encryption available to everyone - not just us geeks - then the sim

    You have to protect the unencrypted content not just from Gmail, but from any script anyone could potentially add to Gmail or any other service. And this protection has to be bulletproof, since the whole point is to not trust the service pr

    Absolutely, but then Gmail would save unencrypted drafts as you type, compromising security. Short of blocking all scripts on the page, I'm not sure how we could prevent a server-side backdoor.

    Someone needs to invent a Firefox or Chrome addon that solves this problem. Here's how I see it working. You get a message on Gmail, and it looks like this: This message is encrypted with FooAddon. To view it, copy and paste the e

    I've been reading "The Twelve-Factor App" today, which goes even farther and suggests a strict separation of code and config[1]. In which case, presumably, all of these settings: config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { address: "

    I wasn't aware that Tumblr had an export function, and it looks like, officially, it doesn't[1]. There is a third-party migration tool to WordPress[2], but that's about all I can find. So unfortunately, not all is roses. It would be nice if
