I was on the 2007 CCC Camp trip that Nick Farr organized. I do remember Jake being an asshole on it, including making many inappropriate sexual comments. Since then, I have heard Jake trash talk Nick Farr quite a few times. Jake's be

Chrome at least, does allow HSTS errors to by overridden (and "safe browsing" warnings). It's just not exposed visibly. There is a deliberately undocumented "cheat code" that you need to type.

Installing any extensions in Torbrowser that it doesn't come with makes you very trackable.

Torbrowser includes patches to Firefox that make it more difficult to fingerprint individual machines, however this is at the expense of making it trivial to identify as Torbrowser when javascript is enabled. It doesn't appear possible

I actually saw articles on mainstream news sites saying Uber/Lyft had threatened to leave if the vote passed. I'm sure plenty of people's votes weren't what they intended.

PhoneTag[0] can do that via email, though the transcriptions are generally good enough that you don't need to listen to them. I've been using it for years and don't remember the last time I actually had to listen to a transcr

Taxis are not an option worth considering - too unreliable.

Actually, it was a vote on whether on not to repeal some rules passed by city council on their own, and I think also add some rules favorable to uber/lyft. The vote result was "change nothing".

Just because a vote went a particular way neither means that it is fair/good, or that it is the will of the people. Voters have, in multiple instances, voted to deprive minorities of civil rights. There is also a strong bias in what so

I would be very interested if you are able to find one. I do not think this is a think that exists, or if it does, it probably pays very little.

This reminds me of junior high and high school, making PC peripherals that used the parallel port based on schematics I found on the internet. It was a lot of fun. I remember building a link cable for my TI-89, NES and SNES controller adapt

Depends whether you are willing to consider a solution relying on a trusted third party "secure".
564.
by ryan-c 10y ago
There actually are several time stamping services based on RFC 3161 - many CAs offer this service, and Microsoft uses it as part of driver signing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_timestamping

by ryan-c 10y ago
Right, the GPG timestamp is trivial to fake. There is also RFC 3151 timestamp protocol, but it uses a trusted third party rather than distributed trust.

FWIW, it is possible to make the signature ungoogleable. I posted an example on twitter: https://twitter.com/ryancdotorg/status/727302056432672768 I think, however, that this would have given him at most an additi

It isn't that ruse. I replicated the file that is verified in the screenshots - the ruse is that it contains an old bitcoin transaction from Satoshi rather than Sartre's writings. https://rya.nc/sartre.html

It's base32, not base16, so you're off by several orders of magnitude - numbers should be 549,755,813,888 and 1,099,511,627,776.
