I don't believe they've had an independent security audit. I think their team however is comprised of more respected cryptographers like Moxie Marlinspike, who introduced the concept of SSL stripping, one of the issues that was fo

Its just an investment that may pay off in time in the future. Say you need to explain how to do something to a friend, if you write it up and keep it somewhere you should never need to type out that same explanation again if you other frie

Yeah, would have liked to see specific examples of features he picked apart, revisions that were made, etc. That would make this article much more valuable.

The IRS can't tell how long you've held a bitcoin, what price you bought it at, when you bought it or how many bitcoins you hold in total. The fact that you can arbitrarily split wallets and tumble coins means they basically have

For me, gay marriage is on a level of fundamental human rights and equality. That everyone should have the same rights under the law is literally one of the central beliefs that the United States was founded on. If we're giving benefit

I like that this both starts a conversation and provides a conversation topic in the form of an appealing picture. Definitely would use this if it was in my area.

EC2 Micros run about $0.02 per hour meaning it only takes about 5 plays per hour to be profitable, so you theoretically have ~115 plays that are profitable per hour per client, though its probably more like 100 including ads that play betwe

The best part was that they offered them a credit on their account as compensation. As if they would want to continue their business with a hosting company that allows unauthenticated users to issue commands to their technicians.

This was what I really liked about this article as well. I wish there was more news presented in this format, as it is making a point, but also presents counterarguments to its claims and the evidence for both sides.

This is what I use at home/work as well. A solid keyboard with a lot of switch options, a nice form factor, and good key layout. Definitely recommended.

You can at first, but Bitcoin mixers make it unlikely. If you take stolen coins, throw them into a pool with other coins, make a lot of transactions within that pool and with other addresses, and generate a bunch of new addresses with new b

Ah okay, looking into it more and as another commenter has mentioned its probably the DVR aspect, which allows/encourages skipping commercials. They probably fear that the commercials will be stripped out or easily skippable.

Maybe it ruins their advertising locality or the value of having local network affiliated stations? But both of those seem like pretty lofty arguments.

You might want to up the frame rate of the gifs, right now they seem kinda laggy and don't show off animations very smoothly. Cool idea though, people would use this if its easy to make them.
