There is no connection between CryptoLocker and ad targeting. What you're proposing would do very little to thwart tracking (imho strong identities would make it easier) and comple…

Yeah, I'm not a google bot, I get that falcor wanted to call breitbart garbage.

If you're from the EU and looking for a tech-job over here, I'd be happy to help out How important is it to speak German?

You cannot simply extrapolate from smaller intervention but it does lower the prior for a larger one, of course. Maybe unless you have a specific hypothesis which predicts a non-li…

Really? Seems to be mostly try-hard humour. http://computer-engineer-barbie.herokuapp.com/view/266 http://computer-engineer-barbie.herokuapp.com/view/402

Well, you can get a cheap VPS in the US, or UK, or wherever the content is available, and run youtube-dl there. You can also use a proxy[1]. Unfortunately, I think socks proxies ar…

The frequent (almost daily, sometimes more frequent than daily) updates are really impressive.

Including non-video sites like Soundcloud and it supports playlists (downloads multiple files) on and off Youtube.

This has not been my experience but either way, let's say someone pronounces that 2+2=7. You could respond with "it's actually 4" (address the idea) or "anyone who believes 2+2=7 s…

The threats of violence are usually empty posturing but there are other serious risks associated with speaking out online under your real name. In the US you can get "swatted"[1], …

I'm rarely if ever troubled by UI changes but it took me a good moment before I figured out how to rerfresh your inbox in new Gmail. It's pretty obvious that you need to drag down …

You set up a catch-all on your domain, and just make up whatever@domain.tld whenever you need an address. I have all my domains set up that way. Not even for unique addresses, just…

I still don't get it. Is there something in the name, a pun?

Those are lost on many people nowadays. And strike through imho looks better.

It's not. It's on par with the rest of the western world[1], maybe except Finland which is an outlier whether you include the US or not. At least as of 2009, I doubt it somehow col…

Also, strike-through. Which is the one I find genuinely useful because I like the suggestive way to say s̶o̶m̶e̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ then visibly correcting to something else. http://adamvar…

No. A proper certificate protects against malicious DNS resolver. What you're talking about is being introduced alongside DNSSEC, and it's called DANE. https://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

ACME sounds great. Copying codes from emails is suboptimal at best. Free certificate from command line and free revocation from the same client sound even better. I just don't know…

One can hope that once it happens a few times, journalists will maybe rediscover the basic ethics of their profession. Right now, they simply seem to demand a monopoly on digging f…

I'm pretty sure the language barrier and a massive internal market do most of the heavy lifting here. Look at Yandex. The Great Firewall is a wash at best. It protects local compan…

I cannot treat complaints from journalists about digging up dirt seriously. This has essentially become their job. Were was this criticism when some guy's personal phone calls were…
