   That's a perfect solution actually. But sadly, we aren't there just yet. There are nuances with these things that software can't (yet) pickup. So humans have to do it till then. We were maybe born too early. But I think it ma

   The definition of end-to-end encryption is that the decryption keys are only available to the client. Now your question asks the question of where the backdoor should be. It is feasible. The backdoor should be at a very low level (not say a

   Hmm, this definitely brings up an interesting discussion I don't think HN has had before, especially something in a similar vein since Apple+San Bernardino fiasco. Obviously privacy is something that HN holds very close to its heart. B

   I don't think it's viable at the scale of imgur. And I doubt they even have the capacity to screen the images which have been reported <10 times

    I would suggest KeePassXC, which in my opinion, looks better since uses Qt rather than mono so has a more native feel. https://keepassxc.org/

    Well. This is not a good week for lastpass. And for all the users of password managers which use a browser extension or a cloud synced database, KeepPassXC[1] is a good alternative, because it won't come close to touching your browser

    I don't think I'd call them a 'sham'. They're not advertising something they don't do. I think they do everything that they say they do[1]. If this was a case where someone was able to get plaintext passwords f

    Well, now that I think about it, the software going 'stale' depends on the domain. You can write a networking stack in C adhering to a protocol and be done with it, while code for the new $COOL_WEB_APP might go out of mainstream u

    I agree that HEVC isn't a game changer. I actually prefer x264 encoded video even though it results in much larger file sizes. Although HEVC has lower bitrate for supposedly same quality, my needs aren't constrained enough where I

    Nope, they pushed the expected release date to end of this year[1]. I was really hoping it would come out this month too, then I realized we won't see much adoption till 2019. 2018 will be spent with a couple releases of software decod

    I wonder how Dropbox's Lepton[1] compresses JPEGs encoded using Guetzli. Since they already pack more info/byte would there be noticeable compression? Someone out there must have tried this. [1]: https://blogs.dropbox.co

    Btw, I checked how you arrived at the conclusion that 'economic majority' have agreed not to follow BU. And I must say that I'm skeptical of your claim. Do you have any links? With the addition of AntPool, the total hash rate

    This is actually one of the most important standoffs ever in Bitcoin and will rival the well know Ethereum Hard Fork after the DAO fiasco. To give an idea of what is happening, I'll try to explain what I know, which isn't lot. Sin

    Hello! This might is bit off topic on this thread. Seems like there is some confusion going on about the Free tier on a post[1]. Can you please comment there on whether the 'Always free' is free only during the first 12 months or

    There is an always free tier which, if I'm not wrong, should be free forever.
