Congrats to the team for tracking this down, it was a great write-up! Twitter has some great networking/kernel engineers. When I was working at Twitter a few years back we isolated…

The design is terrible. I never use the touchpad for anything regular keys wouldn't do better. The keyboard on my 2017 MBP13 failed three times in the year I've owned it. The first…

You can sort HN by date, and few URLs are updated every day. So you can push a new bloom filter every day and a different list of updates every 5m. Then just check your URL against…

How do these execs not have 10b5-1 plans set up?! Many companies require them for all senior managers. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/rule-10b5-1.asp

Mirabel airport [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montr%C3%A9al%E2%80%93Mirabel_... ] probably was a contender. The passenger terminals were eventually torn down recently, but cargo …

Agreed -- I feel far safer biking around in Manhattan then sf. There are way more separated lanes in NY, traffic moves much more slowly, there are no tram tracks, and the lack of r…

If he actually flew out of YVR, he was probably in a us preclearance area -- us customs are located in some Canadian airports so flights can go directly into us domestic terminals.…

Yeah, maybe human review is not the most scalable solution; if data analysis shows that certain patterns of behaviour are highly predictive of an account takeover, there are almost…

Yeah, a couple of years back, I went to a t-mobile store (I think it was on Broadway and Park Pl) to get a new SIM card; I'd lost it in Europe when I was on holiday. They gave me a…

That's a good point. Though I think it would be challenging to have a phone number that no one knows which you also carry around with you. It's possible if you use something like G…

Yeah, I'm also scared of LastPass being a SPOF. While LastPass does do a good job, no one is perfect, and the cost of having my account compromised is really high I'm now leaning t…

Yeah, I could believe that it would create too many false positives and in retrospect things do often seem easy. Google and other service providers do have data to evaluate the ben…

oh man, I remember browsing FTP servers over email back in the early 1990s, when I had email access but not FTP access. It was incredibly slow and typos were to be avoided at all c…

Seems to me like shipping paper bank statements scales quite well -- linearly in fact!

Well, YHOO's total market cap is now about $37.36B, so it's not a complete travesty. (MSFT would have gotten the Alibaba investment with the $45B offer)

The blog seems to be down. Does anyone have a link to a cached copy?

http://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2012/01/attack-of-we... This article talks about tls and corruption, including dtls. I found it educational!

Oops I probably should have been clearer. Hardware verification IS performed. For various reasons, the nic never itself drips packets that are corrupt, packets are instead marked b…

Just skimmed it; very interesting. I hadn't heard of this bug before, but will read it in detail soon. Thanks!

I think it's in the 3.13 queue already: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/commit/?h=linu...
