Are you seriously asking that? Have you seen the example of learning multiplication vs using a calculator? What would you say in that case?

You should use HTTPS Everywhere everywhere.

Hey guys, crypto-noob here. Who needs this? I have a ssh server on my ubuntu, do I need to update OpenSSH? Also, I have openssl installed (for some reason), is that the same thing?

It would be if you were using HTTPS Everywhere.

Yeah. I think that crypto-ideologues (although I'm not saying that the parent is one) often underestimate the impact that the law has in practice on these matters.

I've heard about problems with trusting certain certificates. Any suggestion where I can read about these specific matters that you mentioned? Thanks.

You must be new here. It's not about democracy, it's what's more convenient for the US interests. Welcome to HN.

I'd also be interest in hearing from experts about this. The concept seems very elegant, but plenty of elegant things are flawed...

I thought that was what he was saying. Maybe I misunderstood it.

You're making the argument "If I apply good crypto plus crypto which might or might not be good, the worst case scenario is that I end up with crypto which is at least as good as the good crypto." You're the perfect exam

Oh really? Those companies each have 100m-worth of crypto-breaking hardware? Ok then.

I approve of this video. (Seriously. There's so much flawed hand-waving going around. But this video is solid)

Yeah. I come from the academia, and I can't see a scientist not being able to do his job just because he has to take one extra hop by using a VPN.

What I'm trying to say is that that the language is different is irrelevant. It's a word that you hear ALL THE TIME, and so you use it, like all words that you hear all the time independently of the language. If you're German

My point wasn't using an existing affiliate network versus bulding one. Was having the skills to spread malware and using an affiliate network to get the malware, versus having the skills to spread malware and coding your own malware.

by rahrahrah 10y ago
Ok, now I understand what you're saying. I imagine that anyone who is willing and skilled enough to be a malware distributor would rather just do the whole thing himself, ie code the malware himself and collect himself.

I'm completely lost. I work in affiliate marketing and I don't understand what you're saying. Could you explain very slowly how this would work in your mind? Who is paying the money, and who is receiving the money?
