Yet another reason why, as a startup, you should stay far away from writing your own payment processing - unless you're a payment startup. It's not a timesink, it's a freaking black hole.

at least three very unsimilar transit connections are used. What does transit mean in this context; like between my VPC and your appliance? Can you give an example for e.g. an AWS region? How is the appliance implemented, is it physical h

Does that mean all traffic passes through your appliance? Where is it physically located, what about congestion of the appliance itself, what are your peerings?

the TTL value is not realiable. How is the TTL not reliable? In my personal experience DNS cut-overs have never been a problem. Is there any major OS or ISP doing DNS wrong?

I'd suggest you scrap your "fancy" website and replace it with two paragraphs of text that explain what you are trying to sell and how it works. The "vague bullshit in between cute animations" approach really doesn&

Has anyone actually seen that "study" from Portsmouth University? I tried to google it but all I get is useless soundbites and fear-mongering, all over the mainstream media, with everyone linking back to Wired.com. No one links

Sorry, neither the idea nor the execution impress me very much. This seems about as useful as the "random radio" function in every existing music player. Except it is slow and cumbersome to use. EDIT: Please note this reply was wr

Yes, apt is indeed one of the best we have (the one-eyed amongst the blind). Sadly it's still using a flawed[1] trust model where you trust repositories rather than publishers. And the UI-shim over GnuPG is 'basic' at best (t

This applies to pretty much every pkg manager ever created. That's why it's important to have end-to-end package signing with a reasonable UI, so people can choose to selectively trust the sources they need and get alerted before

A survey from a while ago reflects this likeliness: Umm. No it doesn't. Have you even read your own link? Moreover keeping your wallet secure is not rocket science. Set a password, make backups. If that's too much asked then you

I love how these new languages compile into a static binary and thereby avoid the deployment nightmares of Ruby/Python. More of that please!

The javascript community seems to live by the motto "A framework a day keeps the doctor away". Is anyone keeping count, we must be in the hundreds by now?

This is NOT native scrolling. You still have to manually toggle "scroll-mode", get janky lag because of the screen redraws, and a redundant "selection cursor" that messes with inversions of the scroll direction.

That still doesn't give you native scrolling.

If it's really that easy to subvert Tor then we should thank the FBI for showing us.

It didn't teach us anything we didn't already know about the FBI Well, it taught us that the FBI is capable of carrying out a successful attack against Tor. Maybe you knew that already - I didn't.

Tor is specifically designed to withstand attacks from resourceful adversaries who do not respect your fourth amendment rights. The FBI putting it to the test provides us with valuable information both about the FBI and about Tor.

The point was that Bitcoin already is regulated pretty much everywhere. If you have pockets deep enough to exploit any of the remaining loopholes it'd likely be cheaper to just get a regular license.

They will hopefully introduce a new "classic" (as an abstraction over VPC) at some point, unless they want to lose many low-end customers to "easier" clouds. Having this level of control can be nice, but most of it reall

Any reason why this isn't automatic? Perhaps it's a co-promotion for CloudWatch. I would guess quite a few of their users had never heard of or seen a use for CloudWatch. Some of them might now enable "detailed monitoring&q

It is technically feasible for such a group to kill billions of people, to end modern civilization—perhaps even to drive the human race to extinction. And our answer to this is... perfect surveillance? To monitor all speech and text by ev
