Comcast is really that terrible. And yes, that is why things like http://www.reddit.com/r/hailcorporate exist.

They didn't actually say they didn't monitor Tor tho. :/ That is why I'm kinda amused by the positive posts. They said they don't monitor people's browsers and http connections. TOR wouldn't look like that

Microsoft wouldn't pay $2 billion if he open sourced it. So they'd get a smaller payout.

> Comcast doesn’t monitor our customer’s browser software, web surfing or online history. I'd take this as evidence they monitor every connection that isn't over http ... which happens to include VPNs and Tor. Otherwise, they w

Maybe but is it really a fair question? Notch wasn't the only owner. In fact, he owns less than 50% and they have 40+ employees. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojang Open sourcing it would likely screw his co-found

Heh. I built a dashboard and included everything my coworkers asked for. Oddly enough, I'm the only one that uses it and I've dropped everything they've asked for from it to declutter.

Cache information leakage for common js libraries is a non-issue compared to a CDN being compromised and mass MITMing via javascript libraries. Even things like NoScript don't stop that vector if you whitelist common CDN's like go

It doesn't solve the problem because of the OP's issues. Using a hash would allow you to load them from any URL, including the blocked ones.

Did you read the post? ;) It needs to be built into the browser because of issues like the one he was having.

1) I stated it as a requirement. 2) The projects I work at on $DAY_JOB that I control all have 3 hardware nodes for HA in both staging & production. Staging is under artificial load that plays back the same series of events on dummy dat

by opendais 12y ago
You run a staging environment to mirror production [with fewer nodes per PoP] and throw things at it. The only real difference is the load on staging would be generated artificially [e.g. ACH, credit card processing] using faked staging-onl

The reason I wouldn't use a rich text editor is it leads to "support issues". It wasn't because the implementation was buggy but rather the fact the end-user thought it should behave like word and just copied/pasted

Bah, at least PL/1 is still maintained by IBM. Come back when the language you are running on that AIX system is completely dead since before 1990 and there is no online documentation for it. ;)

I'm tired of the "lol lets mock NoSQL fanbois" behavior on HN. You fail to realize you are acting exactly like the people you are mocking. Generally the use case for "scale" with NoSQL isn't that MySQL isn&#x

If you define security failure as "keeping things from your parents", ya I suppose that might qualify. However, when all it takes is someone deciding they want to copy the picture and spread it...I think it results in a dangerous

Snapchat is neither private or secure. It creates the illusion of it but its illusion is extraordinarily thin. Please don't perpetuate the myth they are private or secure. http://www.informationweek.com/software/so

I don't really believe that. I know people circulate that alot but I know based on the time cost to build the site was likely 5 figures at market rates. I doubt he brought that in. Discounting his labor? Sure it was profitable on Day 1

This actually isn't reliable. It doesn't work for me, for instance.

I kinda agree with them. Imgur has to make the money it needs to survive. It is really the only viable option in the long term. That said, I do find myself using alternatives [e.g. mediacrush] more and more. Its just not worth bothering wit

Pretty much. You blatantly ignore the repeated statements that the vulnerability scan is a prelude to actively attacking machines for some reason. I'm not sure why. I'm not saying they are attacking any machine they can. They are,

You are probably right. I just wish there were better options, I suppose.

I'm aware they are in it to make money and I don't mind them operating with reasonable margins. It just sounds like hundreds of them are willing to use the "make the debtor's life as miserable as possible" tactic. I

Ya, this is always the fallacy Basic Income proponents keep claiming will come to pass. The only vaguely realistic way to generate a Basic Income situation is, frankly, to raise taxes to provide for a good fraction of the benefit [I think y
