"Write a blog post. Don't waste time doing a more exhaustive search of the literature". No wonder the Internet has such a low SNR.

If this were an important factor, I would expect to see the same drop in non-Western countries. Porn is global. The data doesn't show a significant decrease outside the West.

I understand that "signing-in with Facebook/Google/Twitter" is done using OAuth or Open ID Connect. Why is Kerberos insufficient to solve the sign-in problem that we had to invent new protocols?

The argument the paper makes does not rest on whether memory encryption is implemented solely in microcode. All the problems with SGX lie with its management part not with the encryption part. I'm referring to side-channel attacks and

I lived the day to see YC giving credit to PG for an article written by Knuth. What's next? Symphony No. 9 by Paul Graham? Theory of Relativity by Paul Graham? The Bible? :-)

I like your answer because you're describing a new threat model: an adversary tries to subvert the encryption process. Their service does not protect against such a threat. Securing the data center is the least of your worries for such

May I suggest you make this clear in the FAQ? In its current format, the FAQ makes it a big deal out of it without explaining that it's an additional security measure and that client-side encryption alone is sufficient to protect the d

I'm sorry but I beg to differ. Encryption is a very powerful tool -- the whole point of doing encryption at the client is that we don't care about data center security any more. As long as the data isn't lost, my data remains

by locacorten 11y ago
The FAQ describes how the data center is using super-sophisticated security. Why is this necessary if the data is encrypted at the client? (perhaps I'm missing something about the threat model).

About 40 years ago, when I was growing up in Southeastern Europe, in a place greatly influenced by both the Ottoman and the Habsburg empires, I do remember my grandma lying down in bed (covered) with one-two of her girlfriends after having

Eastern Europeans are much more likely to migrate to Italy and Spain than to Greece. Romanians especially. One reason is that Romanian is closer to Italian and Spanish than to Greek.

I have a question about your first point. What other options are there other than sharing a secret key at manufacturing? I'd like to learn more about these other options. Thanks.

I relate to your description growing up quite a bit. To be honest, getting older I've become very disappointed by the world and its imperfections. In any case, I don't know if talking about me is interesting to anyone. However, I

Have you considered that there might've been an issue that you didn't know about? For me, I was with you until I read your suggestion to "read your comments" to learn about your experience.

I would've really like to know more about the case uses of this technology. I think FR is way too inaccurate to pick up people from a crowd based on the driver's license photo database. I think they probably use it for some sort o

You can't give a good keynote if you gave only one conference talk before. I think the article has a list of nice suggestions, but if you're asked to give a keynote and you haven't given more than 100+ talks/lectures&#x2

I'm sorry but let me offer a different perspective. Your startup failure was good. It hit quick. You learned. You moved on. If I had more time I'd tell you about all those failed startups that suffer a really slow death. Like the YC startup

Ahem... Have you heard of Facebook? Or GMail? Or Hotmail? These are money-losing businesses. As we speak. Real life is much more complicated.

On surface, you're right. However, I've never encountered a person who pays attention to details and can switch this on or off, depending at which stage the project is in. You either care about details (and you can't help yourself), or you

I find it sad when clueless people end up well-rewarded. It leads to articles with terrible pieces of advice, such as this one. Anyone who pays attention would notice that things that work well are always built by people who pay attention t
