   Correct. I recommended the use of DNSCrypt first specifically for this reason. DNSSEC alone primarily helps prevent DNS spoofing, phishing, and MITM attacks. All useful, but DNSCrypt gives you encrypted DNS queries. Maybe I should have clar

   As people already pointed out that your product isn't free, if you require knowledge about a person then they're giving you their information. Facebook doesn't cost a user money, but it costs them plenty else. For a product w

   This is completely ignoring the useful use cases of "disposable" emails like privacy. I have a domain that I specifically use as a catch all, so anytime I sign up for a website I use the domain as the username, like news.ycombinat

   Seems really annoying to get setup with Sia though. You need to have at least 50,000 SC to begin hosting, and you can't earn SC until you start hosting. You even need SC to announce your host (15 SC), and the apps don't explain if

   I definitely think that cryptpad.fr doesn't know the meaning. Keybase's entire purpose is to make a public database of people. They know who you are, therefore, they have some knowledge. Not that complicated. If you store user pro

   This is irrelevant if you use a proper business account like American Express. You have return protection, are able to return anything within 90 days, if ymthe merchant won't accept it then the payment processor does a charge back and

    I'd see a trailing or leading comma as a potentially null, or undefined. It's intentionally against spec. I personally see the concatenation an issue in particular with streaming. Streaming JSON objects and parsing them on the fly

    I don't believe the original purpose of JSON was to eval untrusted objects, since that would always have posed a security risk. It did however offer a very easy standard way to share and parse data back in 1999. In 2016, I believe cont

    I think if breaking changes are made, there is no point, it would not be called JSON 2.0; it is an entirely new data format. When there are hundreds to thousands of alternatives, trying to "fix JSON" isn't the solution. JSON

    Yes, that would be a strongly recommended way. I could see using a unix timestamp as a numeric field as another way.

    I was thinking along very similar lines when reading the article by Tim Bray. JSON is designed for JavaScript compatibility, I almost stopped reading when he said: > They’re inessen­tial to the gram­mar, just there for JavaScript com­pat

    I've seen many implementations of this exact thing, the basic ones are just sha1 or sha2(master + website domain) which generates a unique "password" for each site. This is just another implementation of the same idea. I&#x27

    I've seen articles about technical interviews too many times to count, and while I personally don't believe whiteboarding is a good tool for interviewing and don't use it when I perform interviews, I do believe that any good

    I've seen dozens of articles about how Google, Amazon and other large tech companies hire the best. It's a terrible assumption that these tech giants hire the best, they simply can't be picky with their hiring, they need to g

    Gitlab EE (Enterprise Edition) is also open source, you can grab it and use it without an enterprise license if you really want, it's more of a trust-based system. Which I support 100%. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org&#x2

    That seems like an issue for Jira, not Github IMO. Atlasssian owning both Jira and Bitbucket though, seems like they'd prefer to keep it the way it is for this very reason.

    Agreed. This immediately shot up to the top too, suggests to me their team might have heightened it. Either way, if you want to go for cheap, use Gitlab.com which is also free to use, but can host it yourself so can be far more secure and p

    The article describes ways to avoid using very, not that you should replace every instance of very with another synonym. There are instances when you can easily replace "very XXX" with a more descriptive term.
