Sounds a good idea. I'd like to see a more technical description of how it derives the public/private key pair from a password. In addition, the language choice of C# is probably going to limit its popularity, given how C# is stil

How is this different from a VPN over UDP, like OpenVPN or Cisco Anyconnect?

One reason that Asians outperform other racial groups in the United States is overlooked in the article: the difficulty of immigration. Most whites and blacks are born within the US, and Hispanics are either born or move into the US by simp

> That would only be fairer if everyone has the same level of access to education up to that point. So it is the socioeconomic difference that should be addressed, not racial difference.

Depends on how one defines Asians. Chinese are rare among the higher ranks in tech, but many corporations have Indians (India is in Asia, right?) as their CEO.

No. The official installers are signed, and are thus not prevented.

But I've found that many GUI applications do not take /usr/local/bin into account. It's like only terminal applications, which are rightly affected by terminal environments, care about it.

Because the default is in `/usr/local` and because the installation warns against changing prefix for possible software breakage. Now since many people say they never run into problems with nonstandard homebrew path, I'd like

If both legit and ad urls all look the same, and can only be distinguished by decrypting with a key, then adblockers may be unable to differentiate between the two.

Tons of apps to block ads come out this month on HN, but few of them are available on my country, China. I wonder if some can open source their code so that I can compile and install it on my iPhone by myself.

The "malware" can do two things: send tracking information to a server, and show popups (which may be spoofed as login dialogs). Both of these are entirely possible to be intended by the app authors, and in that case, it would be

Every textbook on math I have ever read always start with intuition behind the idea, and then present definitions and proofs. Only some reference books, intended for look ups only, only enumerate formulas. I never understand why anyone clai

Xcode.app includes a digital signature, which can be checked with `codesign`. As all OS X comes bundled with Apple's root certificate, one can check for the validity of that application by oneself without any additional trusted source.

> But I'm starting to fear "Deep Learning" is the new "Big Data" buzzword. You spent several paragraph criticizing ANNs, but regular ANNs are not deep learning at all.

Deep learning is pretty much a field still being rapidly advanced by research. A book on it would become obsolete the day it is published.

So now I have to find out how to disable WebRTC or just STUN to avoid my true public ip address leaking (while on VPN).
