That just added the ability to save a copy of the encrypted database. It did not remove the encryption.

Correct. That is often referred to as literally a "Source available" license which is common from entities such as Microsoft. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Open_Source_Defi…

No they wont (and don't) but it's possible they will choose to not sign these extensions, probably depending on their lawyers.

The blog post this was based on ( http://www.matthewjockers.net/2014/06/05/a-novel-method-for-... ) which is from 2014 was widely panned when it was first publicized, and some of t…

It's a fig leaf they can point to when lobbying to avoid stricter regulation in any jurisdiction that hasn't yet enacted new rules.

Thanks. I figured it was likely in the app, but for an experiment like this, that appeals to many of the ideals of an open source philosophy, I'm less likely to bother installing i…

This seems buried. Is there a reason it's not mentioned or linked on the kloak page? I actually went looking for the code and couldn't find that repository.

IE8 has the 32k limitation. I don't think anything else does.

Additional data point for all the people arguing about it deeper in comments: Firefox 3.6 had its last security update 9 months ago (2012-03-13) and hit official end of life from M…

I prefer to let people read into the original as much as they choose, since it is fairly clear by the third introductory paragraph that the reporter misrepresented what was at issu…

(not associated in any way with tent.io) 1. Just because it is allowed by the protocol doesn't mean any given client needs to pay any attention. Just like email, I can filter out a…

Your blog post suggests using MsgPack as a drop in replacement for JSON for client-server communications. In that context every encode/decode operation on the server would be match…

My point was that you can't install a c extension in a browser. I assumed that all the MsgPack libraries would be C or equivalent performance-wise. As to text vs binary, I'll just …

But you can install a c extension implementation for ruby (or pretty much any other language that doesn't already have native JSON built in) on your server fixing that performance …

You are reading it correctly. This is a horribly link-baiting title.

This is against many consumer ISP ToS and they can/will arbitrarily start blocking traffic on certain default ports depending on how draconian they are about it. I agree that hosti…

I disagree with your interpretation. The collection of expressive elements such as icons seems copyrightable in aggregate as much as any of the individual elements. What that decis…

um, that is not what that decision says. It says the interface may be covered by copyright to the extent that it contains expression. That would seem to me to have a large overlap …

Yeah, but by then we'll be able to build everything with 3d printers, so all they'll need is the specs.

I wonder if anyone has actually attempted this and seen how dense you can pack it and reliably recover. I imagine you would need measures to counter small misalignments when rescan…

Even if its not well liked in the most tech forward circles that may be the most desirable audience for google, there should at least be familiarity with it. And I don't know about…

My point was that your substitution changes the meaning too. Special interest is a well understood term, and Nation in this context is defined. While its true in this scenario some…

I didn't blip over your argument, I rejected your premise. Economies of scale mean it works better the bigger it gets (up to a certain point in most cases which I already said, whe…

Now you're talking. Do you have a newsletter I can subscribe to?
