It's easy to dismiss the freedom of tinkering as a religion. If it wasn't for that most entrepreneurs on HN wouldn't be able to start their own business at a fraction of original costs.

Windows is a step ahead of OSX with it's Private/Public networks distinction. Having little snitch installed on OSX it's staggering to see how many core services are trying to access external services, most of them on port 80

The victim here is not the government but the people it's supposed to serve. They are providing a bad service if data (likely ours but they don't say) gets stolen away.

This looks great. Do you have any benchmarks that compare transfer speeds compared to SSH ? What is the canonical replacement to `tar czf - /some/folder | ssh user@host "tar xvf -C /some/folder -"` ? Key manage

I think that Chrome users are relatively unaffected by this if they installed the extension trough Google Play thanks to Chrome's security model. In that case I think it's just routing the traffic trough their proxy and not instal

I can see how this could improve the resolving latency slightly, at the expense of more network traffic. Like you said, it must be tricky to get that integrated properly. It seems like a weird optimization to do and unrelated to VPN. Maybe

New protocol for "Internet of Things" called Weave. Looks like it's going to use JSON or type-compatible. They didn't address why existing solutions aren't good.

Android M will be available in preview for Nexus 5, 6, 9 and "player". I hope it doesn't mean that Nexus 4 is already end of life ?

Couldn't one write a chain macro instead ? That way you don't have to rely on the library to return self. chain!(dialog, set_title("blah"), set_size_piels(100, 100));

Also see https://github.com/aerofs/aerofs-docker It looks like they use a private registry and just provide a script that runs the docker image from their registry. No Dockerfile. I was curious because last time I trie

Grooveshark is also a good delivery target for Flash-based exploits since the music player also depends on it. I remember times where some sketchy ads would crash the flash plugin consistently.

Isn't it what SRI does ? (plus SRI is backwards-compatible) If a hash is weak then the browser can disable it. The only consequence is that the src fallback will now be used every time.

Does Nim still allow indifferent `fooBar()` and `foo_bar()` to access the same function call ? It makes grep-powered refactoring unnecessarily hard.

This sounds exactly what Experian does. They are used by most (all?) UK banks to validate your credit score and they also provide an "identity protection" service. If your score is too low with them you don't get any credit a

It seems absurd for consumers to store value with items that are very perishable. What do you do with your 10k watch in 5 years when Apple has stopped releasing security updates ? You're then left with an expensive shell and a rotten c
