Oh, stop. Tinfoil-hatting like this is how privacy and internet freedom activism gets a bad rap. QWAC certs are only for "high value" sites: banks, government services, etc. They can only be issued by "Qualified Trust Service

QWACs exist to provide a more stringent and user-accessible way to assert a website's identity, mostly to foil phishing and other exploits that regular certificate systems don't address well. Where does this cross into censorship

Heritage has been laying waste to America my whole life. They basically planned all of Reagan's legislative agenda, too, just like Project 2025 is doing today. In very real ways, they and their vision are America (a system is what it

Compare this to what the EU built. The EU Digital Identity Wallet under eIDAS 2.0 is open-source, self-hostable, and uses zero-knowledge proofs. You can prove you're over 18 without revealing your birth date, your name, or anyth

Storify was acquired by Livefyre ~4 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6354835 Livefyre was acquired by Adobe last year. Whatever the route they've taken, the upshot is a helluva lot of content going poof

There's tons of people making more within the Microsoft/Oracle/SAP/Apple/etc ecosystems than employees of those companies, too. This is different insofar as the market was not intentionally created, but it's hard to blame him for "exploiti

I'm well aware of the issues that some designers have with 99designs and such. I have sent briefs to recommended local designers, but they're either unwilling to work within my budget, or ask for unworkable terms (e.g. no revisions). Given

Fundamentally, we don't want any hardware on-premise at all. What we really want is some kind of real statement from the github guys that speaks to all of the issues raised here (encryption, theft, malicious injection, auditing, the "honey

I have to think so -- you can patch binaries and modify commit logs all you want, but patches are still being applied in sequence, locally, when you pull. If the hashes don't match, boom . But then, can those hashes be swapped out? We ne

I'd much rather see a public statement on these sorts of issues. The only thing I see on the site that is even remotely relevant is a one-liner on the plans page: "We make every possible attempt to never transmit your data unencrypted." Pr

As part-owner of the code in question, this is what one little guy on my shoulders is saying, very loudly. Taking the other side for a moment: Really, no code in hosted environments (which is what I presume you meant by "the cloud")? In a

User management, SCM visualization, and forking is all easier compared to gitosis + gitweb et al....which we live without, but would be nice to have. Our real aim is to eliminate all in-house hardware. Sysadmin is definitely not our core c

But far, far less likely to be the target of anyone looking to acquire an absolute ass-load of proprietary source code (and github is probably the largest concentration of it today). (Just trying to continue to run the skeptic's argument, h

Yeah, which is outrageously, painfully expensive: http://fi.github.com/pricing.html I'm not trying to have my cake and eat it too -- I recognize that there's a different risk profile to outsourcing hosting of any service compared with doi

I wouldn't say we have an exceptional need for security, but we do have reservations about dropping the only thing that has any real value in our company right now into what looks like a helluva honey pot. I'm not sure I can even properly e
