Actually, many law firms publish this kind of content on their own sites all the time. You could probably arrange to aggregate their content if you properly attribute it.

This is a great way to expose the danger of these bills. By recasting the sponsors as victims of their own folly, the fundamental problem is neatly and clearly illustrated.

After rolling my own solution for tokenized autocomplete a few times, I love the idea. I found a few nits, though. 1. I assumed that autocomplete would catch the word "autocomplete" after I deleted the token. It took me a while to find a

Yes, I realize that. In my opinion, there's no qualitative difference between employees of AWS peeking into my data or employees that I hired peeking into my data. It's about trust in the end. Anyone who has set up company email knows thi

Actually, I agree with you. 37Signals is characteristically up-front in their security policy about not being an appropriate solution for sensitive data. That's why I don't use them for my own client work. I respect their decision not to

And announcing the content of the one millionth file upload is serving the customer how?
67.
by sunchild 15y ago
It tells us that they looked at customer data, and that's a really, really big deal to people who are doing serious business that involves private information that is: (1) regulated by government, and/or (2) has significant commercial value

by sunchild 15y ago
Sorry, but that is just a huge blunder. I can see from your comment that you think it's no big deal, but I read that item and immediately blacklisted 37Signals as a vendor that looks at customer files. Your explanation makes it worse, no

This is such a great editor. Each update adds things I really appreciate. (How did I ever live without indent guides?) I've been working in XCode so much lately that I've gotten really used to this style of autocomplete, so this update is

Indeed, quite a few physical places and things require permission or a license to be displayed in photos and video.

I see. I was able to find it on my non-Apps for Enterprise account.

It's definitely a common theme around the world. I think it's not a coincidence that these places are islands or geographic crossroads where outside invasions are frequent during their history. Speaking of Japan, here's another interesting

Does anyone know how Google's new pricing affects use of MapKit in iOS apps?
74.
by sunchild 15y ago
I can't find this feature. I guess it's because I'm logged into a G+ account via Google Apps for Enterprise? I find Google's rollouts for Google Apps customers a huge source of confusion. You'd think they'd get that under control by now.

Thanks for taking the time to respond here and elsewhere. You make some really interesting points, and I understand this topic much better now.

All CMS is necessarily a "proprietary, custom solution". All CMS (like all software) exists somewhere on the spectrum of "easy to use" vs "extensible and customizable". If management chooses to rely on a vendor to set the roadmap, then the

It depends on the government. In the end, the fundamental proposition is that you pay into an institution that offers physical protection. I find it fascinating that: 1) That model of government traces its roots straight to Ancient Rome. 2

This is such an important point: there is no difference between "too big to fail" and "an offer you can't refuse". It's protection racketeering in a five thousand dollar suit. "Nice economy you have here. It would be a shame if anything h

It only matters because it makes you sound like you don't know what you're talking about. There is really no such thing as the "Mafia". It's a lot like calling every extremist Islamist group a branch of "Al Qaeda" – i.e., lumping a lot of

Thank you. Pretty much any time you see the term "Mafia", you know you're dealing with amateur pseudo-journalism. I came here to point out that Sicilian organized crime is probably not the "bank" here. Sicilian crime syndicates are genera

"At some point, you just have to shut up and make stuff." This should have been the beginning, middle, and end.

But let's admit that there's no such thing as a secret, really, and it's more about how difficult a thing is to reproduce or reverse engineer. I mean, everything about security is just a big game of "hide the ball" and the question is how

Isn't that assuming that the system will accept a copy of a fingerprint? Are you telling me that I could easily spoof the fingerprint readers in immigration control simply by applying some kind of copies of another person's fingerprints ov

by sunchild 15y ago
Forgive me if this seems ignorant, but how is verifying a person's identity at immigration control different from verifying their identity when logging into their phone?

I suspect a lot of people become expert in a "CMS" like WordPress or Drupal, because it seems easier than learning to work with a proper framework like Rails, and then find themselves stuck inside the platform. Like project management syste

How does one forge biometrics? (Notice that I'm not asking how to spoof biometric readers with insecure designs, e.g., the one mythbusters busted). Anyway, this is already the case – fingerprints are used as evidence of criminal liability.

by sunchild 15y ago
This is why I asked this question. Fingerprint scanning in Japan is so convenient.
88.
by sunchild 15y ago
This is completely counterintuitive to me. How are you going to remotely copy my fingerprint or iris? Isn't the fact that scanned fingerprints are still used by immigration control and criminal investigators evidence against this?
89.
by sunchild 15y ago
Serious question: why aren't we using biometrics, e.g., fingerprints or iris detection? I want authentication that: (1) identifies me, not a key-holder, and (2) requires only things that I will always have with me.

Yes, it was widely reported that Lockheed was a target after SecurID was breached. Whether or not anything useful was extracted from Lockheed's systems, and whether or not any Lockheed data was involved in spoofing the drone, is pure specu
