Thanks! This is great advice.

I remember reading something here on HN. I'm paraphrasing: Contracts aren't there for when things are going smoothly, they are there to save your ass when things go wrong.

I feel like it is difficult to get hired right out of college into a pentesting/netsec role without a bunch of certs and CTFs (which you do mention in your career guide). Even then it just looks like just another qualifying tick in the

The thing is, these sort of situations (creating dependence) are very hard to pick apart and point out who is at fault. Say an organization 'A' funds another organization 'B' (maybe non-profit, maybe not), and over time

Is there any way one can find the list of organizations that Google (aka Alphabet) has been funding? Annual investor reports?

CSS[1] was the defacto 'DRM' back in the day, which used two LFSRs for 40-bit encryption. Apart from being able to brute force it today, there are many other ways to break it[2]. Now the DRM on DVDs/BluRays is AACS[3], which

I'm arguing that there will be no competitive edge. React got where it is today with the help of lots of developers. If the current license problems came to light before, React would be an inferior project compared to others because

IANAL, and might be (likely) totally wrong. Here's my take on GP's comment. Apache v2 has an patent clause which explicitly waives the rights of the licensor over the patents they might have on the licensed code. So, presumably ,

If you read the article again, you will notice the point about how large communities don't form with these licenses. Open source software shouldn't have any restrictions on who can use them and who can't. While this license d

HN hates short comments without references. Also it looked like you were writing it off because it is used to buy drugs.

If tiling terminals aren't your thing, I'd suggest giving guake a go. I've been using for a year now, and none of the other emulators have come close to making me switch. Protip: Use the shortcuts wisely, it makes it much bet

They didn't 'switch' over. The KDBX 4 format introduces Argon2 as a possible KDF, in addition to AES-KDF which has been the dominant KDF in KeePass and its implementations. Even the project with most contributors - KeePassXC,

By volume, sure, AlphaBay was definitely a bigger successor, but Silk Road was unprecedented. Something like AlphaBay was inevitable after Silk Road (Next was Hansa, but turns out was already a honeypot by that time). Silk Road was the firs

While downvoting this is warranted, this is certainly true. To catch up on the biggest news that has come out of Bitcoin, I'd suggest reading on 'Silk Road' and Ross Ulbricht. Wired has a very good 2-set long form on this[1].

I didn't deny messing up crypto code is a thing. I'm saying messing up code is a separate problem from messing up how one architects projects using crypto. What you say as messing up with edge cases, etc. is a programming problem.
