How easily can it be tracked with standard bunny-hunting? I imagine the government would locate this pretty quickly and just mortar the neighborhood to remove it.

A religious defense only helps religious people. Worse though, it perpetuates the idea that certain classes of opinions are more worthy than others. Clearly secular solutions are more valuable because they help everyone. I'm very tolerant o

That's all stuff best left unsaid. And does it need to be pointed out that all this complaining about someone's tone is a bit whiny? Because it is.

He has. This post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4789877 has more details. But I think it was clear before this. Message-passing between non-shared state actors is a fundamentally different animal than "traditional" shared-state pro

Considering the exec mentioned his own CIA connection, likely to scare his target, it seems absolutely pertinent for the author to mention it. It's details like that which transform a threat from laughable to believable. As others have ment

Sure, it works. Until they decide to suspend your account. Most people don't know paypal's history and many of the rest simply assume disaster will never happen to them.

This is why Groupon isn't worth much though. There are no legal, ethical, or technical reasons for not contacting everyone who uses them and offering them a better deal. The beautiful thing about e-coupons is that they don't cost anything t

If all you wanted was a minimal features analysis you'd have asked an accountant. You asked this professional in the field for his judgment because of his experience and you got it. That company is unprofessional because they ignore you unl

The email list is the easiest part - just copy Groupon's. By the very nature of the business they publish a list of everyone they deal with. Scrape it.

I didn't see anyone say that lawyers had a 100% profit margin so discussing all their business difficulties is fallacious. Regardless, these lawyers have still made money most of us wish they hadn't, and in doing so they've taken it from pe

Exactly, that was the point. Miners need unions more because it's easier for them to be exploited. They probably need legal protections because they aren't coming from positions with many valid choices. On the other hand, tech workers aren'

In terms of being anti-rape, it's all you're doing, jumping up and down and telling us how against rape you are. Do you understand what a straw man is? Yes, Julian Assange needs to be handled like anyone else accused of a serious crime. Tha

You're on your anti-rape high-horse but nobody is saying it's a goodness, that's just a straw man you've dragged out to beat. However if you actually cared about rape you'd be upset at the many documented cases of molestation and rape the U

I know something - and that's how little you know. For one, if you did know, you'd be admitting to a crime. But more-over, even if you investigated Tor exit-node traffic you can't know if any porn you might see was actually being traded or

Strange, how you say someone could wage a social denial-of-service attack against Freenet with a bit of kiddy-porn FUD... None of the links I follow into the onion (coding mostly) have ever led to porn, let alone CP. Even if it's everywhe

No. Keeping the system from visually stagnating, and having fun with your users, is one of those useful ideas... Besides, I doubt the artists are taking resources from feature developers. If anything, they're probably sitting idle between r

Actually he only needs one example to say "it can also work against you", and he is that example. He didn't say "will", or "probably will" even, just "can". But using FB to login to other sites seems less handy and more like a way to lose

When dealing with a profitable company you pretty much have to assume they're smart enough, leaving malice as the most likely explanation. Especially on the heels of supporting SOPA, a pretty malicious thing to do.

You're wrong. One-sided contracts are not insignificant. If you think they are you're in for a world of hurt. But if you don't like reading about them, don't. I don't see how you're being forced into these threads. In fact, feel free to vot
