Yeah, it's onion routing applied to services. I never know how much detail to go into on HN these days. I should have just said "TOR back ported to UUCP" and saved time. :)

Yet another weapon in Logitech's arsenal of ways to create a small amount of annoyance at every opportunity. Annoying wireless and iffy non-Windows support join the pack.

We have options already, although we abandoned them once the Internet became ubiquitous. UUCP would allow encrypted envelopes that would only allow trusted nodes to decrypt enough to forward to the next destination or to the local user. It

Is that because you're so ascetic that you haven't cut your hair or fingernails in 20 years and they are literally attached to your central heating? :-) That wonderful temperature between 21-22ºC is truly excellent. Paris in the

Symptoms. People lack, for want of a better word, meaning in life. They're looking for it in various places, whether that be via the frisson from buying that glass hummingbird at Gump's or getting a new job selling advertising sp

And it wasn't what we would consider a "nice house" in the present day. It's not on a cul de sac and it's no McMansion, just a house that a guy used to living in boardinghouses, bedsits, and apartments for fifty ye

I like this because Bukowski's first purchases when he "made it" was a BMW and a house in a nice neighborhood. I'd write more but, as you say, we only get one chance at this and we're living in the best time ever.

#3 is often the equivalent of taking a walk or a shower, or walking in the shower. It's enough of a context shift that your brain will forget the inessential and you'll notice the pattern you were hoping to extract. I think it&#x

Econ is great, but you may want to take a minor in the humanities. I'd recommend music, but art, literature, etc. are all good. Think of your ideal "interesting person" and supplement your CS with something else you'll

It's good to shop around, especially here in California, one of the states where graduates from non-accredited law schools can join the bar. :-) I can't see a reasonable way of establishing bona fides other than creating a strong

What people say and what people pay are not strongly correlated. :-) Coupons can give a 100-10,000% lift very easily, enabling web merchants to be less dependent on black Friday/cyber Monday/etc. They can shift demand earlier in

How many samples? All you need to do is wait until they tell you who they are by associating that MAC addr with a hotspot. Share "anonymous" data with vendors who provide wifi access, and suddenly Sephora knows where you live and

I'd say that this is usually the case for many languages, but Lisp IDEs have been refined, unrefined, GMOd, and subjected to all kinds of prodding that you generally want to pick one of the approved environments (Emacs, LispWorks Emacs
