I think bringing attention to common practices putting people in jeopardy is a good thing, because it’s likely website operators and the general public don’t think about these risks. If data is collected, it can be used by police and prosec

After a Minnesota lawyer reported his neighbor for allegedly sexually assaulting his son, that neighbor cracked the lawyer's wi-fi WEP encryption and proceeded to attempt to frame him for CSAM crimes, sexual harassment, and threatening

My house was blurred many years ago and I wish it wasn't. It almost draws more attention when you look at Street View, which is probably contrary to privacy interests. I've also had odd reactions from companies I've called ou

For travel, I'm happy with the Peak Design 45L Travel Backpack. It's optimized for photographers, with separate packing cubes that clip into the bag. https://www.peakdesign.com/products/travel-backpack Their

I'm excited about this (and all things Sketch-related), but I thought this was a product release from the makers of Sketch until I saw the disclaimer at the bottom. $39 seems fair, though I'd rather see this as an open-source proj

Here are some random observations and opinions. 1. The screenshot at the top of the page seems to show some features, but I have to infer what they are. It would be good to automatically cycle through annotations to show what the little &qu

The author used `tcpdump -i lo0 -s 65535 -w info.pcap` which, as a non-root user without sudo, successfully captures loopback traffic in OS X 10.11.3. I just tried it, and with Chrome and 1Password, I was able to see my auto-filled bank pas

Don't be so quick to dismiss this one. This is notable for several reasons, including (1) it wasn't his mistake, but rather that of a Visual Studio bug not following his instructions to make a private repo on GitHub; (2) the spe

I love this concept, and it is sorely needed. I read in your Medium post[1] that “Data is wiped from the phone as soon as it’s securely moved to the Witness servers.” I'm curious what the reasoning for this is. Of course, I get that th

There's another strong reason not to trust Evernote: nothing is encrypted at rest on your system or their servers, unless you manually go encrypt selected text in a specific note in the desktop application, where you have to make a new

While it's honorable to want to keep things on a handshake-and-honor level, when things go wrong, none of that matters. In my experience, clients are impressed and more comfortable with proceeding when a written agreement is in place.

HTTP Shamer here. I absolutely practice 'responsible disclosure' when it is appropriate. In the case of TripIt, they've known about this issue for a VERY LONG TIME and chose not to address it. I'm incredibly sad about th

That was published by Microsoft before the case was unsealed, so that one has been known for awhile, nothing new. http://www.noticeoflawsuit.com/

The existence of the case has been unsealed, so here's the latest docket: http://ia902509.us.archive.org/20/items/gov.uscourts.nvd.101... Looks like there was a stipulation filed on July 1 to transfer the dom

That's not true. On June 19, Microsoft filed the Complaint, Motion to Seal, and Ex Parte TRO Application all at the same time. The TRO actually says: “...good cause and the interest of justice require that this Order be Granted without

I hate pay-walls and even login-walls, so I genuinely disagree with Scribd's payment model. However, I do think the service provides value in that users are able to upload a PDF and it renders in a pretty widely-compatible viewer forma

I actually appreciate the humor, but I'm in the same boat where there's a good portion I'm just not wrapping my head around clearly. I'd love if someone made an annotated version with technical descriptions.

I wish they were more transparent about the components used for the site, specifically for licensing purposes. Example: The demo site uses Proxima Nova, which is loaded via Typekit. That's not an open source font, there's nothing

So is Snapchat just big enough and hot enough that investors will ignore due diligence red flags? In any other startup, I feel like a year of litigation over an founder's equity stake would send investors running. If you haven't s

Taking up a collection is a good idea, gets everyone on their toes about watching each other's backs, and puts the responsibility on the entire community. If each participant threw in a buck or two, that's a new MacBook Pro.
