Reading through this article I am unclear on why anti-virus is now supposedly dead. It reads as though anti-virus is being shifted to the endpoints. That is, viruses are detected right on the network rather than on end-user machines. Is thi

What kind of security experts are they talking to... My personal list of most important things to do: 1. Run a version of Linux ( Windows is simply insecure ) 2. Use Firefox + NoScript and only ever temporarilly allow JS to run as needed. (

Whether you like it or not, the description of being nice has a connotation of being clueless. Obviously the word can be applied to people who are not clueless, but it still has that vibe about it. I didn't make up that the definition

I think the focus was on the fact that it is arbitrary. The person you are interviewing may not even know nor want to care what a Fibonacci sequence is. He is saying the goal is to understand the candidate and the way they think, not to tri

I've seen a lot of writeups about interviewing here on hacker news. Things I liked in this particular one: - Admission that arbitrary coding challenges that are unrealistic to the applied job are ridiculous - Recognition that you need

I'll give you an example by posting in exactly the same way I always do. When I was in church I heard a sermon that stated that teachers are held to a high accountability level than others, because their words have a great affect on al

It's not useless because until you hit a certain karma value you cannot downvote. I encounter obnoxious people and attempt to respond reasonably to them; they downvote every single post I make but I obviously cannot do the same to the

jQuery provides bind. That and related code is what I am referring to in that case, hence my insistence on the importance of closures. I have revised my comment to mention this as well as the fact the John Resig himself reccomends the Proto

Have you looked at the implementations of classes in jQuery, Prototype, Mootools, Dojo, etc? I have. I've used thousands of lines of codes from these libraries and fixed numerous bugs in them. ( Note I'm referring to the 'bin

There is a difference between the internal vibe of the company and statements by the current CEO. One has to say things that make the company money; the other is the true reality of what drives it. The "free speech platform" notio

Are you kidding here? In ES6 classes provide nothing more additional than the closures already in use via a bit of extra utility code. Doubters should click the link here provided by Luke. It is filled with "To Be Determined" for

The thing that we now call Firefox has gone through many revisions, going back nearly to the beginning of the internet. A lot of that code has been shared by many browsers. The code is composed of 4 parts imo: 1. The rendering / layout

As fweespeech says here also, criminals will encrypt regardless of what is going on. The people the FBI is "after" are going to encrpyt, so fighting to make public systems store data and hand to the FBI when desired is pointless.

I agree completely that many aspects are covered by existing technology. The difficulty is in making it such that all of this can exist as a simple set of open source binaries regular people can run ( not computer experts ) The system has t

All of that is rampant personal speculation. You are saying I am reading into your statements... but you are reading into what will happen way more so. Kettle calling the pot black is kind of lame.

It's hardly untraceable. There are only 1000 ghost gunner mills in the country. It is feasible that they are all being tracked by the USPS. Fedex and UPS refuse to mail them... That means the government likely knows where each was sent

We could already run OpenSSH on Windows. I typically do via cygwin. It appears people are building it against MinGW? ( https://www.nomachine.com/AR05H00563 ) If we can already build Windows binaries of OpenSSH, why does it
