Hey, thanks for putting that together, it's a very insightful read. One thing I would mention in the section "Encrypting Data": KMS is great and very useful but there are limitatio…

Hi there, you seem to know a lot, any chance we could talk about this topic, would love to hear more of your thoughts on the topic? I don't see an address to contact you. Thanks!

Interesting, this is a topic that very rarely get discussed on this website, but which is probably top of mind for many here. I am an immigrant myself, I don't think I have anythin…

Ah... trying to apply entrepreneur spirit everywhere, how could it go wrong? Okay so let's recap, we are shown a table showing the PISA score of a lot of countries and we see the U…

Thanks, I really want to get serious with that language seeing all the praise from people around. I have began to do some small things with it and it feels like a great language ( …

Hi Steve, I don't know if you are going to read this, but I'm going to write it for the rest of the audience too. I think the trend of dismissing critics and commenting along the l…

Not entirely true, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_%28anonymity_network%29#Wea... "security consultant, revealed that he had intercepted usernames and passwords for a la…

I have read Steve Jobs biography and this is definitively a cautionary tale and a great warning for anybody, but for other reasons that stated in this article. I am no Apple fan, a…

Well it embodies the best and the worst of internet movements. While the foundations are good: protecting the web from bad laws, restrictions etc... the execution is really ridicul…

Hey another one of the "I was too different/intelligent for normal school", backed up by a TED Talk. Here on HN we have one of these articles every week. I think that all of the "m…

I don't want to be mean or anything ( and probably it will go against the HN crowd) but you're part of the problem. Basically it's the reliance on computerized system to assess som…

I like how I got downvoted. Please read everything that is on the website: The BBC say it's an estimate, with a link on estimate leading to its definition and a disclaimer about BM…

Before complaining about "wah wah that's BMI, BMI sucks" please think twice. Everybody knows it's BMI, BMI is a rough measurement of your ratio height to weight. http://en.wikipedi…

Very well put together, I just want to say I fully agree with your point. To give a face to what you describe I would say that Apple is one of the most blatant example of what you …

What about the quality of the headphones? For me that's the main problem of Apple headphones: they are utter crap in terms of sound quality. Another problem I could see: you add we…

If there's one rule in gaming it is: "Do not trust Peter Molyneux". This guy is the biggest bullshitter in the gaming industry. A guy with such claims that the book "On bullshit" p…

Pardon me but ... I think that there are way worse dangers than "humanoid bombs"... One of the main reason is that to achieve a nuclear explosion you need to have a critical mass a…

Same. At least you have my upvote, for what it's worth! Light table looks to me (with all the respect due to the work of the authors) like a fad where people get all hyped up about…

Interesting point. Hard to discuss too, because as always with women-related issues the heat is pretty high. However, let's play devil's advocate and extend it to the man's case to…
