Some models you can literally just pull a fuse for the telemetry modem and the car will be offline. Worth considering.

I was hit by this. It looks like my laptop had not been syncing correctly for a couple months, then GDrive overwrote my local “My Drive” folder with the old cloud copy.

Check out JSON-RPC. Jimson is a good JSON-RPC client for Ruby. http://github.com/chriskite/jimson

No, indeed it is not. If the problem is that people are getting phished because they type their info into a spoofed login page, how would making one standard login page be the answer?

I released the first public version of Phactory yesterday, and I'd like to get some feedback from developers here on HN. Phactory was born from a desire to have something like Factory Girl for my day job writing PHP. A couple of my co-worke

"Password hashing scheme" refers exclusively to the algorithm used to transform a plaintext password into a ciphertext value (whether it's a hash or derived-key). The rest of your library is the part you want to spend your effort on. Make i

If you're offering it for public scrutiny, then the good news is you've just gotten a good bit of it from an experienced security professional. Perhaps instead of calling tptacek arrogant, you could take the criticism that you say you're in

Actually, slow in this case does not at all mean "this operation isn't implemented in hardware or optimized assembly". The slowness of an algorithm like bcrypt is a tunable property of the key expansion algorithm. A step in this process wil

Do you have a reference for this? I'd be interested in reading it.

In what way is pushing 20K requests/second "concurrency fail"? Node.js doesn't make it easy to share state between processes, but once you're scaling to multiple processes, the jump to multiple machines probably isn't far behind. You'll nee

If Opera started charging $3 for Opera Mini in the App Store, would you be upset? You're paying for a nicer interface to something that is free, not the content of HN.

Interesting. I haven't played with CoffeeScript before, I'll have to try it out. I stuck to straight JS since I'd like the source to be simple for most developers to understand.

Interesting concept, but it would be more useful if I could limit it to my city. Without a local context, it is mostly noise and no signal. An ideal visualisation would be to show the activity as blips on a Google Map.

"Supercar" seems a little generous seeing as how it has a top speed of 30mph.

If the alleged pedophile is savvy enough to use Tor, won't he be running his web traffic over SSL, rendering this sort of attack useless?

"Oh well, better for the rest of us." Do you really think so? I'd prefer to live in a society where everyone was well-educated, or at least enjoyed learning. I think you'd find there is some spillover benefit for yourself to be had from "th

Perhaps they should have announced the monthly fees before the delay. I'm more than a little disappointed to find out that I'm not getting it on time, and that I might unexpectedly have to pay a monthly fee once it does ship.

I think it's odd that you have such a problem with co-opting the use of "Re:" (even though you admit he is using it in the original sense), but you don't have an issue with him co-opting the English language by intentionally misspelling wor

Jargon arises because it is useful for compressing information exchanged within a given culture. If this really was an internal posting which was accidentally exposed, what is the problem with using the jargon of Microsoft's culture?

The hash could be used as the response in a consensus protocol, but it looks like Enchilada leaves building that protocol up to the developer. So like I said, it's nice to have that hash for every reference, but I wonder if it's worth the s

I agree with you that it's inconvenient, but I can't think of an alternative that would be fair to both Zipcar and the renter. If I let Zipcar inspect the car and take their word that there's no damage, I'll be on the hook for $500 if they

The section on "verifiable computation" is interesting: http://www.enchiladacode.nl/technology.html#verifyable "Every ID of an Enchilada Value is calculated by taking the SHA1 hash of the Value's contents." The docs suggest that this can
