Surely the TOR protocol is equivalent encryption to SSL/TLS and thus only the exit node or one with the exit node's private key can read any traffic for the hidden service?

It body snatched the octopus and is now wearing it like a skin in search of more prey.

I thought the purpose of TechCrunch was content farming and search engine spamming for startups they have a vested interest in.

> didn't want to rely on anyone except ourselves.

And the remarkably secure telecom system, of course.

Google's style of 2FA is IMO technologically superior in that there is no communication after the initial seed. It also appears to be somewhat standardized -- see others posting about Authy. You could have your own handwritten program running the algorithm if you wanted to be independent.

The real screw up on Google's part is not instructing users to have an encrypted backup of their 2FA data.

Arbitrary changes? But then how can we ensure that you are charged the proper price for tethering bandwidth versus phone bandwidth? How can we ensure you are paying the right price to blacklist phone numbers? My goodness what if you remove the default apps from the phone? No, that won't do at all.

The rest of the magazine would be like, "patio11's dos and don'ts of summer SEO", "can lisp trim your application's waistline?", and "infosec schadenfreude! how to protect your app". viz., HN.

My favorite title of all time is Tim Ferriss's "How to Learn but not Master any Language in 1 Hour". All others are merely vying for disingenuous second place. I guess it is all about marketing your blog posts.

That's not what you asked, you asked "would you be happy".

You are not correct on this one. Intent is greatly meaningful in life and under the law. Commercial intent with a derivative work is not inevitable, nor is their growth inevitable.

They define terrorist pretty loosely anyway, so it'd be hard for all "terrorists" to be totally unaffected by the leaks, thus making their statement "true" or, rather, least untrue.

It's infringement and it's fine that the content owners send out their C&D's. I doubt there is any malice, though. I seems more like they just loved the game and want it to continue in some form than they are trying to get attention.

I think you meant to write

> Unless you're interested in startups (that Arrington has a personal stake in) generally.

> Or if you want to learn about new companies (that Arrington has a personal stake in).

et cetera.

Unless I am mistaken, they won't let you do two-factor auth at all unless you put a phone number first.

As you say, I did mean preferred stock. You caught me before my edit :)

I still stand by the assertion that investors are looking for something different than the typical employee. It seems to be a large risk for a large reward; I don't want to presume to speak for you, but usually investors are both looking for a large exit that an employee will not really benefit from, and can be involved with many companies at once to minimize their risk.

I definitely agree for investors that the startup you pick is more important than the stage its in when you pick it. But that's still involving a significant chunk of the stock even in later rounds. Ultimately, unless the employee is getting a large chunk of the company (in which case he should think as an investor and would be wise to go for YC companies) the decision process should be different.

Mark each arena with the last time something was collected from it and just skip sweeping old pages until X cycles have passed? Just thinking out loud... that check wouldn't save time for half-pages of old objects.
