That can happen regardless of HTTP/HTTPS, say if the site was hacked they could be serving a bad key/signature, which is why you should always obtain the public GPG key (in any scenario, really) via a trusted channel, or multiple

Https only guarantees the origin and protects against MITM, they provide a GPG signing key and sign their isos so it does all that + guarantees that even if their websote gets compromised attackers wouldn't be able to distribute softwa

It's not entirely true, while CPC and CPA* ads have been getting more popular over time, CPM is still the best way to go for many other purposes. Not everyone cares about getting people to click through to a landing page, lots of adver

Yeah, free to chat, not free if you want to actually use the service. It's the same as getting a quote from any other professional service (lawyers, doctors, etc.) which is generally free.

Neither of them are free, magic+ is hourly with minimum commitments and magic is pay per request, with free consultation before you get a quote.

Have you thought about having a separate privacy policy for your Magic+ customers? Specifically regarding the potential for you to sell data to "Other companies whose products or services may be of interest to you" which is a pret

That's a bit naive, as with Facebook M this is tapping into the huge market of AI-like personal assistants. We may not yet have the technology to create a Jarvis, but we can make a person a lot more efficient at their job with some cle

That's just Berlin, not Germany. In smaller cities, you'll wish you had Uber. Most taxis speak little english (hard to communicate where you're going without just handing them your phone with the address in it), they don&#x27

I have a 50'' 4k tv and can definitely notice the increase in resolution when watching from close enough, and deeper blacks. However, it's not that big a deal when watching from 5-6 meters.

I used to run a FTP server back in the day, I don't see how we the operators or the scene uploaders had any better OPSEC than these guys, we were just too obscure for anyone to care about. These guys get caught because their releases r

It's actually surprisingly hard to get OPSEC right, because most of the time you either don't think what you're doing warrants a huge amount of resources spent prosecuting you, or you don't realise how big it is until it

Lots of network devices don't do any kind of real validation of the updates they get from a remote server, beyond using SSL which only checks that the origin is correct. A while ago I accidentally stumbled upon the file servers that se

I guess you mean the t0.com chain, I do agree it's not the common case where you can transfer btc in and out of the sidechain. Would it be considered a completely separate chain, since it needs to publish the timestamped hashes on the

There are a lot of misunderstandings about blockchain technology. One of the most common is believing that everyone who uses their own chains are not using the bitcoin Blockchain, which is usually not the case (apart from some notable examp

It's a pretty easy market too, you don't even need an app, just contact any senior sales person and pitch them on a solution to do their expenses, they just have to send all their receipts and a sample expense report sheet to expe

It just doesn't work that way, the best audience for this is big co (because the combination of strict expense rules and big sales force makes it perfect) and yet it is absolutely impossible to get an enterprise signed into something l

As a positive anecdote, the startup I worked for used the Bizspark programme and got acquired before the 3 years were up, so we never had to worry about licensing or server software costs (as the acquirer was a much larger company) Also, af
