Re: We know what you're doing
#44A great example that should remind people that it's probably best to assume that everything they say or do online (offline as well) is now (and forevermore) public. Assume that anything you say or do has the ability to be seen by anyone and everyone around the globe instantly - without any methods of recourse. The genie is out of the bottle. Hence one should adapt one's own behaviour and act accordingly (that doesn't…
I've been saying this for a while too. There's no such thing as online privacy - privacy is dead. It's better that the default for most things online is public since any privacy setting is just an illusion of security. Of course there are some notable exceptions to this (encrypted backup services that encrypt locally before backup), but for the most part if it's online and at least some other people can see it - ever…
Yeah, if you think that, then you should read this :)

I would like to see a basic search implemented into weknowwhatyouredoing, though I understand its purpose as is.
I'd also really like to see a region-based search option in one of these tools (beyond hashtags on Twitter, etc.)

using encryption it's completely possible to make any information exchange as secure as it can possibly be without accounting for humans on the other end leaking the information.
That's exactly the reason it isn't secure.

It's kinda scary to see your own facebook profile being posted on HN out of nowhere... =\
That's because you're being redirected back to your profile since the URL the parent posted is incorrect.
yeah, but why doesn't it respond with 404 as would be appropriate?
