It's my understanding that this exploit wouldn't work with a hidden service because there is no way for your machine to know how to connect to it directly and the connection must be established through the Tor network, unlike a re

With an implementation like Whonix, arguably the only safe and (relatively) easy way to use Tor, this exploit wouldn't have worked. The Tor Project's insistence on placing ease of use above security is admirable and understandab

The great thing about Mullvad is you can use OpenVPN instead of their client if you want. And those guys really know what they are doing.

I should have expanded a bit more. They are spearheading the design of a language or a few languages, and thus have skin in the game. I didn't mean to imply that they are spearheading language design in general.

Those "major organizations", with the exception of Google and Apple, aren't spearheading language design. Their point of view has no impact on the evolution of language paradigms, and if you told them they could save money on

This sidesteps the fact that informed and responsible citizens should have access to opiates even if they are not ill, much less terminally so. I get that it's a compromise, but it is still a morally reprehensible position to believe o

If someone informally visits a company and brainstorms business ideas, it is THEIR responsiblity to ascertain whether they will be compensated somehow. I doubt at any point that someone led him to believe he would be, and it's his own

I dunno. I don't think it's such a clear-cut situation. I definitely just read comics because it is something to do and I like contemplating the stories. But as a kid I suffered long term child abuse and it was about escapism for

I don't know about that. On the surface, it would seem comics are a display of clear differences of right and wrong, but actually more often than not these storylines specifically revolve around the ambiguity between right and wrong, a

Yea, that's how I've seen it for a long time. Comic books, superheros, villains, all of it is just massively intertwined mythology. There's nothing wrong with it. Many of these characters will be around for our grandchildren&

It's important to strike a healthy balance between reinventing the wheel and locking yourself into a bulky framework. Whether you are building a personal project, or working on another's time, in the early phases your #1 concern s

Clearly the solution is to corralle all fascists onto one big fenced-in echo chamber. What could go wrong?

All I'm saying is that big silicon companies have their eyes on this place. There are a lot of corporate offices out here.

For Qubes 4, they are planning to deprecate the Xen paravirtual drivers in favor of the HVM drivers. These drivers are much more battle-tested and less complicated than PV drivers. Also, with their recent foray into enterprise support, they

Haven't seen Loon in the headlines for a while. This is really cool. In hindsight, disaster relief seems like such an obvious application for a technology like Loon. Google could catch some serious tax breaks as well as goodwill if the

This is kind of a narrow way too look at things, isn't it? I think a founder of a company is more than "Employee #1". They are literally the person who envisioned and created the company. That deserves respect and if the foun

I noticed an interesting case when running Windows 7 with KVM and passing through one of my USB-3 controllers. The controller has a single port and a 3.0 hub connects to it. When I connect a USB-2 hub to the 3.0 hub, DPC latency spikes thro

If you founded a successful company, how would you feel if you were legally forced one day to resign from running it, even though you've done nothing wrong? Under either capitalism or communism, this seems unfair.

Yeah, I was really confused by that. Good call, it will probably be removed or edited later. Maybe someone's been drinking behind the keyboard again?
