This is exactly what I was getting at, glad someone else saw that. I didn't see posting relevant credentials that are easily found through usernames containing PII to really be doxxing because it's "self-doxxing", and t

Maybe YCombinator needs diversity in political beliefs on top of gender then? Get some anarcho-capitalists, anarcho-communists, a few facists/juche, sprinkle in some socialists, a hint of traditionalists, and a few neo-reactionaries.

I am indeed talking about the 1/2 second before. Even if it's 0.00001 seconds before the trigger word (I feel dirty saying that phrase), it's the technicality that I'm discussing. Once we allow those technicalities to

Because every time Amazon echo comes up, people always rush it "don't worry guys, it's not actually recording anything until it has to send to the cloud" and by Amazon's own admission, that's patently false.

It seems even with the separate efforts for once-browsers-now-OSes (Firefox OS/Chrome OS/etc), we're still getting feature-creep in the browser. I understand that webRTC is a spec from the W3C, but I'm not sure that&#x2

Piggybacking on this... If you shop with Amazon.com, you can use the subdomain, smile.amazon.com to donate to your favorite charity, of which EFF is a part! So, if you'd like to 'passively' donate to the EFF, you can change

You're implying that I don't care that Google and Opera are doing it too. That is false.

I am also against webRTC, I don't think it's mutually exclusive. Mozilla is signalling with this that they're looking to push applications that leverage their feature-set.

Can Lynx activate this feature at all? Lynx may have bookmarks, but as far as I can tell, Lynx does not have WebRTC support, which means it can not be exploited to share private LAN IP addresses, nor can it access web cams. Firefox, like C

I wouldn't go so far as saying I was creating a straw-man argument. My point is just that relying on other people to take care of security for you ends up with an "eh" attitude in the long-run, and self-education is more imp
