What's up with HN and these shitty titles lately? This says literally nothing. It isn't rhetorical or helpful at all. Tell me about the article.

What a terrible submission title.

Yes, that's correct. Yet, the NSA is doubtless collecting information on her.

This contrasts strangely with gTLDs. I feel like it defeats their entire purpose if you need to use a subdomain of them.

It's satire.

If that helps you get by, believe what you what!

We should absolutely not be standardizing censorship.

What's a "git server?" Set up any machine that can be SSHed into, maybe apt-get install git and you're done. Git is just files.

Firstly, because I trust Lavabit. For two, because he recently shut down the site instead of doing that. It's not definitive, but it doesn't make sense to me that he'd decrypt one user's data but shut down instead of d

The difference is that Hushmail sold out and did perform the password sniffing. Lavabit shut down instead.

No, that isn't the case. Lavabit's emails were encrypted on the server for paying users, and only if enabled by them. In a case where one of those users (whose numbers were less than 2000) had their data subpoenaed, Lavabit woul

If you pay $70/month for a gigabit connection, you have the right to saturate that connection 24/7/365.

It's also unfair and immoral by definition. However long it's existed doesn't matter.

No, PRISM is the facility that allows them to take data directly from backdoors in Facebook, Twitter, etc. It's complemented by upstream, which allows them to collect disorganized data on a much larger scale. PRISM and upstream are th

Courts are made of people, not computers; and they care about the bottom line, not the reasoning behind the loophole. What you describe -- and every other thought experiment, like warrant canaries -- is a good way to spend the rest of your

It's not that simple. The fact that you have Flash disabled is itself identifying information.

That's a lot different than (e.g.) tracking somebody's click patterns on your site to better serve them advertisements. And there isn't such a thing as anonymous data in 2013: it's just data that hasn't been identif

Tracking is tracking is tracking. What's wrong for Google is wrong for you.

Any user should be able to opt out of per-site analytics. I don't use Google Analytics or gaug.es or any of that junk because my users deserve better, so tying analytics to your service is a good way to make me not use your service.

by nilved 13y ago
While very nicely written, I stopped using CloudFlare because of their analytics (which they seem to use in blog posts, and cannot be disabled.) They do watch your site and that is creepy.

I hadn't heard of a single one of those except for Tumblr. Why are they valuable?

Encryption being painfully and needlessly difficult is one reason why it isn't widespread on both the business end and the consumer end. GPG, which _everybody_ should use for email, has one of the most terrible interfaces conceived.

Says you. That could be exactly what he meant.

Why does it need to be about Snowden? We haven't even verified that he actually owned an account.

What's wrong with e.g. #ddd on #222?
