Hardly. Your privacy also depends on what devices your neighbors use. Bluetooth/Wifi/etc packet broadcast, etc. Apple does _some_ things to midigate privacy risks for their users, but not enough.

You used to be able to prevent sharing by blocking their "thumbnail generator" requests via firewall. Or block entire range such as "2a03:2880::/32". I haven't looked into this method's feasibility in year

I love ICF, but concrete alone doesn't block radio very well at all. Best to go with steel studs -- it's found in all modern commercial buildings where I live. Use steel joists between floors and a metal roof and you've got

Sometimes the reason they give you is just the one that pushed you over the edge. At Amazon being "insufficiently succinct" is a greater err than one might think.

It's what I have done for years. Only costs $1/mo for the number and a couple hours learning their API. Your existing cell number can be ported over to Twilio if you are patient. The only problem is trying to use the number for 2f

I've recently conceded to the argument that it's impossible to solve the problem without first defining the role and function of the companies. I believe that should be at the center of Senate questioning, not because it's co

It appears one person's "extremism" is another person's "wisdom". If you've ever worked in state/federal government you'll get the sentiment. Sure it's speculative, but definitely not extre

Any ad network not considering that traffic as fraudulent will shortly go out of business. That's why I say it declaratively.

As someone deeply integrated into the ad serving world, I'd like to remind you that adnauseam traffic is very easy to filter out as noise. Nobody is paying for that traffic.

Awesome post Alessandro! Well written and in tutorial format. Much respect! I know what I'll be playing around with this weekend. I will be looking forward to more blog posts of yours in the future.

I assume that service would only cost ~$10/month, because that's what Apple currently charges for Developer accounts. The 30% per transaction only really makes sense for apps for which Apple has provided the advertising, distribut

You think Mozilla still has it in them? As a long time Apple user, and open software advocate I'd literally cry tears of joy. I'd also have to throw Zuck a bone if FB joined. I really just want Apple to separate their code signi

by procombo 6y ago
The more reasonable thing for Apple to do is to separate the code-signing services (platform security and privacy) with the App Store services (advertising and distribution). From my vantage point that would solve all these problems.

"Typically" might be correct. Our nation's Covid-19 unemployment response is not typical. All of my employees have been given the option to work, or be furloughed. Their decision. Two have chosen to stay home for their own pe

Whitelists works fine. Pin "extensions" work fine. The next step is probably just a simple question/answer regarding personal information about the recipient. Just like account security questions. Provide drop down selector&#

The original 13 colonies literally predated the fed. States weren't created for the convenience of the fed, it was the other way around.

Apparently we are all supposed to become lawyers. ;)

Creating a whitelist service for yourself literally only takes a couple hours studying Twilio docs. Hardly a huge waste of time, and when you get 2 spam calls every morning before 8 am for weeks it's completely worth it.

I've always wondered a similar thing... why is reputation-based TLD network security limited to a single verification entity (CA w/ revocation policy)? Seems obvious to me certs should be signed (and thus revokable) from multiple

Until several years ago cookies couldn't be used for CSRF tokens, because they were sent with every request to your site, regardless of where the request originated. SameSite changes that because you can now control when a given cookie

Awesome writeup. You mentioned you're still "finding an elegant way to generate, use and clean up CSRF tokens".... Consider implementing an "httponly", "samesite=strict" cookie for security check. Apple re

Made me chuckle. Your "just let them talk for 5 minutes", is another person's "wait until they're receptive to feedback." :) I've never met a frustrated or angry person who is receptive to actual feedback.
