Headline says one thing; final paragraph says another: "Bottom line? The Internet is quickly changing the way we allocate our time, but there’s no call to panic yet. You might want to stop reading this thing on the Internet and get back to work, though."
Welcome to HN where the top-rated comment is from someone who admits they didn't read the presentation, doesn't understand what the author was saying and manages to complain.
Fun. This isn't really specific to Redis, but is a good introduction to the sort of thing that C programmers often get up to. You'll see this sort of function table in all sorts of C programs. Take a look at GNU stuff like make and you'll see the same format.
I don't think this is right. You should reduce the entire attack surface. Since Bruce is worried about malware getting in via a removable device and cites examples that attacked Windows he should not use Windows.
Seems to me the only reason to choose Windows for this would be to use Microsoft Office to read the NSA documents and he's stated that he's using OpenOffice, so...
I wonder what battery life is like on this? A typical smoke alarm battery can last years but this appears to have a lot of functions and WiFi and a light.
BTW Why do smoke alarm batteries die at night? Because temperature drops and a weak battery's voltage output drops with temperature.
This rule apply pretty much everywhere and especially to VC. If you want to talk to a VC find some one who can introduce you. If you can't do that then work on your network.
The Guardian approach to this thing is infuriating. There's little useful information from it. eg this question and answer
Question: Is encrypting my email any good at defeating the NSA survelielance? Id my data protected by standard encryption? Answer: Encryption works. Properly implemented strong crypto systems are one of the few things that you can rely on. Unfortunately, endpoint security is so terrifically weak that NSA can frequently find ways around it.
Pfft. What size RSA keys are unbroken (2 048, 4 096, 8 192)? Is there a backdoor in the ECC NIST P256 (or similar) curve? How many TOR exit nodes does the US government manage and how good are they at in/out correlation?
