Sounds a good idea. I'd like to see a more technical description of how it derives the public/private key pair from a password. In addition, the language choice of C# is probably g…

How is this different from a VPN over UDP, like OpenVPN or Cisco Anyconnect?

One reason that Asians outperform other racial groups in the United States is overlooked in the article: the difficulty of immigration. Most whites and blacks are born within the U…

> That would only be fairer if everyone has the same level of access to education up to that point. So it is the socioeconomic difference that should be addressed, not racial diffe…

Depends on how one defines Asians. Chinese are rare among the higher ranks in tech, but many corporations have Indians (India is in Asia, right?) as their CEO.

No. The official installers are signed, and are thus not prevented.

But I've found that many GUI applications do not take /usr/local/bin into account. It's like only terminal applications, which are rightly affected by terminal environments, care a…

Because the default is in `/usr/local` and because the installation warns against changing prefix for possible software breakage. Now since many people say they never run into prob…

If both legit and ad urls all look the same, and can only be distinguished by decrypting with a key, then adblockers may be unable to differentiate between the two.

Tons of apps to block ads come out this month on HN, but few of them are available on my country, China. I wonder if some can open source their code so that I can compile and insta…

Shameless plug for my blog post on how the UX of Gatekeeper should be improved https://rsy96.github.io/blogs/2015/09/20/gatekeeper-should-b...

The "malware" can do two things: send tracking information to a server, and show popups (which may be spoofed as login dialogs). Both of these are entirely possible to be intended …

I scanned the post and it seemed the issues are regardless of the language.

Every textbook on math I have ever read always start with intuition behind the idea, and then present definitions and proofs. Only some reference books, intended for look ups only,…

Xcode.app includes a digital signature, which can be checked with `codesign`. As all OS X comes bundled with Apple's root certificate, one can check for the validity of that applic…

Regular ANNs are not deep learning.

> But I'm starting to fear "Deep Learning" is the new "Big Data" buzzword. You spent several paragraph criticizing ANNs, but regular ANNs are not deep learning at all.

Deep learning is pretty much a field still being rapidly advanced by research. A book on it would become obsolete the day it is published.

Not because he is suggesting curl. But because he is suggesting curling without TLS.

> Well, I find whole thing rather controversial, so to say. Depends on what do one mean by "collection" and by "point", eg. if we take point literally: (x, y) \in RxR, then we have…

The revelation he has had looks trivial to me. Graphs as equations, equivalence of expressions or matrix as linear operators are all something I learned and understood from the ver…
