While platitudes generally go over well on hacker news, I'm curious how one can "make life proud that you are a part of it." Should one also try to "make time notice that you exist" or "make gravity work for i

And Russians also eat a lot of salty food. Just to be clear: I'm not implying that smoking, drinking, or eating salty food was the cause of his stomach cancer, I'm just generalizing based on stereotypes that I know.

This is the role of configuration management software. Applications should not have hardcoded passwords and all decent configuration management systems allow for controlling access.

Exactly. This is an American (well, former) screaming from a soapbox that whatever USA-conspiracy theory in mind is factual. This is a free pass to use him as a puppet.

Can you provide proof to otherwise? I'd imagine you've done proper research on the topic of Putin's honesty due to the flippant response.

I'm sure that they did, but that doesn't mean that Snowden doesn't know/have access to useful, privileged information.

Snowden is not stupid - he knows what he's getting into. If the Russian government is offering to shelter him, it's in exchange for more information. They have no use for a mid-level sysadmin that they can't trust.

Well put. I could only read half the article before dissociating from my feigned commiseration for the sake of considering the author's opinions. This article hardly has to do with technology. What garbage from ars.

Good design doesn't mean "put everything in smaller containers." Chrome uses distinct rows for tabs, addresses, and bookmarks because each field can contain a lot of information.

Sure, but it's a public forum. Only a naive person has any expectation of long-term anonymity.

Vendor management comes with a real cost (typically in terms of time). This might be more contentious, but I believe that people that are still using Windows Server (and Microsoft offerings other than AD) are doing so because it's easi

E-mail comes with some expectation of privacy due to addressing and targeted communication. Hackernews is public content. Apples and oranges.

You're thinking about it incorrectly. While termination at a load balancer is common, at least then you're in the company's network by the time your data is being transmitted in the clear. It's far different for traffic

You can still tier access, even to users with root access by encrypting files at rest. I find it highly concerning that a not-particularly-high-level employee was able to gain access to so much data. The amount of access and permission con
