Given that one can get a CA-signed certificate for free, and that in any case the cost of a cert is dwarfed by the cost of running a nontrivial website, I think you overestimate the number of sites which would be "secured" in this manner and the gains to be had.

But the important point is what we'd lose: If a UA accepts a SSC for an arbitrary website, then the NSA can actively MITM a website that uses a CA cert -- the browser will never see that CA cert, so it doesn't know better.

The only way around this would be to accept SSCs but treat them as no different from plain HTTP in the UI. But now websites have no incentive to use the certs in the first place, further limiting the benefits to be had.

Really, just buy a certificate. It's not that hard.

> That would be a major and totally free improvement in privacy for everybody.

Tangentially, I feel like you're trying to have it both ways in arguing for more encryption on the web and also against mandatory encryption on the grounds of energy efficiency. SSCs wouldn't be "totally free" under your model -- we'd be spending carbon on it. I might argue that if one is going to pollute to encrypt their data, it would be unethically wasteful to use a SSC, which comes at exactly the same environmental cost as a CA cert but offers much weaker guarantees.
Nothing positive can come out of being against insulting other people's faith tradition, or insulting ideas in general.

It's just ideas. You're free to have them and express them, everyone else is free to agree with them or ridicule them.

Ridiculing ideas is a victimless crime and the foundation of freedom.
The dominance of Amazon continues to amaze me. I thought that Google would win since this is a technology fight. In 20/20 hindsight, it's a price war, and that's in the DNA of Amazon.

I installed via the Linux Mint package manager and found no issues of malware.
I've never personally tried Freenet, and there's a reason for that. Everyone I've spoken with who has has told me that it's basically a kidporn network -- absolutely riddled with the stuff. If you dedicate storage to Freenet chances are more than half of the data you store will be child pornography. No thanks.

It's a problem you run into with any darknet, but Freenet seems to have it a lot worse than Tor .onions. I have trawled around onionland a few times and saw only a few links that seemed like they might point in that direction, and didn't follow them. Most of Tor seemed pretty free of the stuff, and most of the directories seemed to have a policy against it.

I think this is a special case of a more general problem with libertarianism. There are in general two kinds of libertarians: those who want to maximize freedom for humanistic reasons, and those who want to maximize freedom because they want to be free to bully and exploit people without supervision or interference. Child pornographers fit into the latter, a category they share with people who want financial deregulation so they can fleece investors with pump and dump scams or KKK types who want the Federal government out of our lives so they can establish local tyrannies and oppress minorities.
It probably helps that AWS has some big and vocal clients. NFLX has probably helped AWS drive innovation and new tooling by providing use cases that most other platforms likely don't have. It also helps that NFLX is crazy vocal on the technical side about how they use AWS to it's fullest capabilities and how they build around "limitations". Makes others feel comfortable that the stack should be able to work for anyone.

I think the big problem with Templeton is that most of the NDP brands tell a good story, and discourage people from looking too deeply from where they came, Templeton is getting litigious with it.

Further, they are walking a very tight line with regard to what additives they are using. In some places they are adamant that they are following "traditional" processes, and in others they happily invoke the additive to side step allegations of fraud/false advertising.

Personally, I have no problem with NDP brands, and think that the mixing of the various ingredients goes a long way to determining the quality of the final product. So even coming from a distillery in Indiana is not a problem (or even having a compelling Col. Sanders character sell your sauce).

But Templeton really does take it to another level. Not sure if that level is "evil" or not. But certainly douchbaggy.
The other stories get flagged. Turn on "showdead" to show them.

Somehow the US doesn't have this problem within the Muslim community.

Really? What about the 2009 Fort Hood shooting, the 2010 Times Square car bombing attempt and the Boston Marathon bombings?

Also, the US certainly keeps a close - often oppressive - watch over its Muslim community. This American Life had an episode about it: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/471

The hot wallet can be refilled every hour. If you are trying to withdraw <1 BTC but hot wallet is empty it goes to warm wallet to be accepted manually.

Yes it's inconvenient. But between inconvenience and losing $5,000,000

If attacker steals X from hot wallet the admins may detect suspicious activity (when hot wallet is drained entirely they must reaudit everything). Even if they don't notice anything the attacker gets 2X. While warm wallet is something like 100X
yeh i agree. will probably make the change soon.

one struggle i had was what to make free and what to charge for. i thought about making the app free and charge only to export data, but i felt like people might feel duped by not realizing and then be forced to pay when they thought it was free. the plan with limiting the # of entries makes way more sense.

Yup, this. The first obvious benefit is a well tested & implemented chat engine with rooms, and the ability to add existing chat bots.

Your dream board would have far to small of a market because no one is going to license a hackable system that can sit between two HDCP devices for HDCP. If the board doesn't have HDCP why would you pay the HDMI royalties. Would be much simpler to use DVI capture card and HDMI->DVI adapters.
The same can be said of exceptions.

However, my comment above had nothing to do with how you handle errors, it was about the unsoundness of comparing code that handles errors to code that doesn't.

Fighting Bad Practices with Successes
> All of us preferring to run real OSes rather than some awkward proprietary sandbox, it's all just our falling for "branding" huh?

The first part of your sentence sounds like you are confusing the whole of Google Cloud -- which includes an IaaS that runs "real OS's" (Google Compute Engine) -- with one of the older components of Google Cloud, the PaaS (AppEngine) that might reasonably be described as something like a "proprietary sandbox".

So, it seems like exactly the effect that was described with regard to perception and branding.

If you start doing drugs or any other coping mechanism because of some emotional problem the problem will travel with you. You can't run away, the only way to break those habits is to learn other coping mechanisms or to get to the root of your internal trauma and come to terms with it.

> public unions should be your enemy #1... The union would find itself facing opposition from both liberals and conservatives (for different reasons)

I wish there was more discussion about this sort of thing. My pet hypothesis is that nobody holds police unions accountable because conservatives like police and liberals like unions. It's hard to even find discussion about the actual extent of police union influence, much less how bad the effects may or may not be and what should be done about it.

Ask HN: What you hate the most from starting a startup?
Hi HN,
I'm making a investigation, of what are the things that founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, or people who work in a startup; hate the most of a startup.
I want to get some insights, to start working in solutions to stop having a bad experience from starting or working in a startup.
I've got 10. Hasn't changed much in last 5 years. Don't think it will change much in the next 5 for me. I think all this internet of things is a security disaster in the making.
While it's an interesting article, I think he's being a bit hyperbolic in translating his local experience out to a generalization.

This isn't simply a 19 year olds experience. It is a white, suburban, middle-class, male attending a conservative university in a culturally regressive state. If nothing else, he's about as radically distant from an urban minority as you could get to the point where I'd imagine it is really impossible for him to have any perspective into other demographics and how they use these tools. I value his opinion, but it's important to take it into context.

Atleast he attempts to hedge his lack of experience in his opening statement.

This is why technologies such as these need to become widespread quickly, otherwise you get tools such as these where "50 percent of their users are pedophiles" or whatever.

Even though the technology itself has no fault of its own (the technology is neutral, I'd say even more so than say guns, which are meant to kill people, one way or the other), the government/public will say it's "evil technology" helping bad guys. I mean they even try to do that with HTTPS now.

Imagine if HTTPS only came out now, and it could somehow be implemented in people's computers/browsers by individuals. Who would use it first? Probably the criminals, mostly. It would be too geeky for "regular people" to even want to do such a technical task. And they'd see no need for it. After all "who's going to read their email? Emails are private, right?"

In such a case, law enforcement could quickly ramp up lobbying in Congress to warn about the "dangers of HTTPS encryption", which is used by mostly criminals. And it would probably get banned, before anyone at Google, Microsoft or Apple even gets a chance to look at it, and before it's used as a technology for e-commerce. It would get a "bad reputation" just like torrents and other stuff, before it gets a chance to develop a good one.

This is also why I'm hoping Firefox adopts a "private mode" to replace its incognito mode, that's powered by Tor. When tens of millions of people use Tor for everyday stuff, I doubt it will be "just pedophiles" using it. Pedophiles exist whether there is technology to protect their (watching?) activities or not, and it's something they do because that's how their mind works. So I doubt we'll all turn into pedophiles once we all get Tor.
Great. Violent nut jobs on both sides now. Not that I'm surprised...
Yes, but non-intrusive body movement capture is far from a pipe dream. Microsoft Kinect is doing pretty good with IR structured light, and it's one of the most active research areas in computer vision. It's worthwhile to pursue research that assumes cheap non-intrusive full body motion capture will become widespread.
I make games personally, but I am in Brazil, the jobs available for C and C++ programmers are all NOT on Brazil, and those that I am actually experienced in (games) rarely get relocation help, I DO apply to those jobs, but I always get reply that it is for people that live already near them.

As for trading, there are few brazillian traders, and I don't found a opening in them yet, there are lots of traders in US, but I have zero experience, they won't pay relocation.

The same is also true for operating systems, embedded, etc...

Everyone likes C and C++ coders, but only when those are secondary skills (ie: I see lots of openings where Java + Oracle are mandatory skills, and C++ is a "plus", I apply to those anyway, but never got an interview)
Four Million Ravelry Users

I quit smoking recently.

There were a lot of positive habits associated with smoking. I got to go outside, clear my head of of work for a few minutes, and take regular breaks.

So I took those things and did something in place of smoking that would let me get the same benefits. When I would normally take smoke breaks I would go outside (through a different exit) and take a walk. Or I'd stay inside and stretch or do simple exercises.

When it's not possible to change surroundings, it's important to replace bad habits with good ones.
Essentially, start making exchangers look more like banks, with manual interventions to evaluate whether transactions are valid.

The bank system (and transaction clearance delays) evolved for good reason. I suspect that bitcoin will not achieve the validity of fiat until a similar set of checks and balances are put in place (at least for sizable transactions.)
Theoretically, for DSA and RSA keys under 1024 bytes, they can be brute forced. If you have one of these keys, you won't want to expose them.

It's security through obscurity, but obscurity in addition to real security offers no real harm.

This is filled with gems that old farts like me (I'm 30) don't have any idea about.

If I don’t get any likes on my Instagram photo or Facebook post within 15 minutes you can sure bet I'll delete it.

Super interesting take - it's as though they are posting not to show people stuff but to get people's approval for what they are posting. Simple but critically different in my opinion.

Facebook is often used by us mainly for its group functionality.

Got it, so make a better group service and bring everyone to that.

One big thing I took away is that, assuming this is representative of the demographic, they seem to not mind using multiple applications for communications. So there really is the ability to pretty narrowly specialize with functions - something I think the older generation does backwards; we want to consolidate and make services a "one stop shop."

(That's irrelevant. However, it's also an urban legend. Be rest assured that no one in Kennedy's German audience was even for a second confused and didn't understand exactly what he meant. He was perfectly clear. Even if you argue that his choice of words is grammatically questionable – something I disagree with and I think it works quite well as an emphasis and makes it clear that he is speaking figuratively and not simply declaring that he is from Berlin or was born in Berlin – the context of his speech and the preceding sentence as well as the sentence itself make it crystal clear what he is talking about and also insures that no one is thinking of baked things.)
I work with CIOs of major companies often. The biggest driver here from what I see is that people are more familiar with AWS. All along the chain of decision making, people have experience with AWS, and can validate it for use.

Not so for other cloud services. It becomes inevitable when every decision maker in your chain can validate one product, and has no experience with others.

Finance is still a dominant sector in NYC but has been dropping since the late 1990s (accelerated post 9/11, but there's been a long term trend of back-office jobs being eliminated or moved out of the metro area).
I just wanted to share my experience that this isn't always the case.
I launched a transit app in Toronto* about 3 years ago. (There were already plenty of them back then.) Over the years, daily downloads steadily grew without me doing any marketing. These days I get a few hundred downloads per day which, to me, is mind-boggling. I realize this is a bit of a special case since people now look for transit apps when they get a new phone.

I've personally found the Chromecast to be a little underpowered in a lot of circumstances, particularly when it comes to mirroring a tab with a video playing. I ended up ordering one of those Fire TV sticks because Gary Busey told me to, and because it has way better specs; still waiting for it to arrive, but a couple of family members have already tried it out with a lot of success, and I imagine it'll go well with the Fire HDX my grandma got for Christmas.

Meanwhile, this Intel stick looks even better. Between this and the announcement of a new NUC with an i7, it looks like I'll be saving up for a couple more Intel-powered Linux devices this year.

But yeah, the Chromecast is still handy sometimes, and it does do some things well (like YouTube and Pandora). It's just not always the best fit for everyone.
Indeed. Taking a language- rather than a domain-centric view is a hallmark of inexperience.

Hang on: in england we had blasphemy laws that meant you could not do an equivalent of the mohamed cartoons using christ (those laws have recently gone); and we had racial discrimination laws which meant you could not have an equivalent of the mohamed cartoons using g*d.

It's not some radical muslim fundamentalist conspiracy to extend these protections to muslims.

(I am not saying it's the right thing to do. I think the blasphemy laws should have gone a lot sooner and racial discrimination laws should have been clearer about who was included and what was prohibited).
It is a white, suburban, middle-class, male attending a conservative university in a culturally regressive state.

Android's main security problem is the lack of updates. Windows' main security problem is its bad design - apps/malware can do almost anything once they are installed

Do you know there have been windows releases since Windows 98se?

Ones with real user accounts, ACLs, firewalls and UAC? You onky get limited access by default, admin access requires you to approve the UAC checks.

And you're still comparing a home Windows system with an "Enterprise Linux ecosystem". No normal business Windows deployment will give anyone admin rights by default.

Once software is installed on any OS using administrative/root permissions, it can do anything. Run a software installer on Linux as root and it could disable SELinux, for example.

> The problem with making a CA-blessed cert a requirement for all or even most of the traffic, is that it forces the NSA to break SSL/TLS or CAs definitively, otherwise they cannot do their job.

Isn't the whole point of pervasive authenticated encryption to prevent the NSA from "doing their job" (at least the spying part of it)?

> But it can shift the economy of the situation -- but you should think carefully what way you shift it.

It shifts more than the economy of the situation. It also forces a shift from passive attacks to active attacks, which are easier to detect and harder to justify. Forcing the attacker to justify their acts has a political effect.
As far as I know none of those were related to free speech which is what the GP meant by strict controls, i.e. you are not allowed to insult a religion.

That, or make HTTP/2's non-secure mode always be encrypted. Which is what people like myself would like. Opportunistic encryption at zero hassle and with zero security problems.
Thank you. I know that :] ... but it is not all about the looks.
