paraxisi··on StartSSL vs. Let's encrypt
Because they make money on revocation and validation (OV/EV in particular)
paraxisi··on Linode’s 13th Birthday

Among others, OP (likely) isn't referring to your own box specific security.

paraxisi··on StartCom Launches StartEncrypt, Let's Encrypt Alternative
I was pretty excited at the idea of "free" EV certs, but after reading into it a bit (conveniently the last bullet point after clicking through)

"For OV SSL and EV SSL, just charge the validation cost annually, certificate is FREE!"

paraxisi··on Tell HN: Apply HN apology and revision
Look at the linked threads perhaps?
paraxisi··on GitLab Major Security Update for CVE-2016-4340
No details, just like the posts about this yesterday. Obligatory 'check our blog later for more.'
paraxisi··on Panama Papers - 2.6TB leak on offshore tax havens

paraxisi··on Encryption Needs a Side Door
The problem is that there is no encryption equivalent to your theorized 'lesser backdoor,' it works as intended or doesn't.

In the long run given how things are currently, I trust math to lie less than politicians, bad actors, etc. Math has no ill intent.

Why link to a reddit post that has nothing on it and just links to medium?

paraxisi··on Secrets of Surveillance Capitalism
Because using DDG and having friends are mutually exclusive.
paraxisi··on Tor Project Accuses CloudFlare of Mass Surveillance, Sabotaging Tor Traffic
An often broken captcha and tracking cookies is a responsible way for them to deal with it? I suppose I shouldn't ask what the irresponsible manner to deal with it would be.
paraxisi··on A Message to Our Customers
> Interestingly, people usually don't want to be deposed when they have something to hide.

That's a pretty... er, dubious claim at best?

paraxisi··on Apple can comply with the FBI court order
A powered down device isn't exactly terribly useful.
paraxisi··on TrendMicro Node.js HTTP server listening on localhost can execute commands
I agree with you with regards to the tone, but when your company description is "a global leader in internet content security software and cloud computing security with a focus on data security, virtualization, endpoint protection" (emphasis mine,) at some point somebody has to take some responsibility.
paraxisi··on Ask HN: Why is the resolution to data breaches:“We will offer credit monitoring”
Fixing the problem after the fact does nothing for the people affected by said vulnerabilities. Sure, they can fix the hole and assure people that it's fixed, but if you've had your identity stolen/etc, that's not much consolation.
paraxisi··on Ask HN: New Flash 0day? (flash-0day-vitaly1)
Purportedly, these are 0days from the HackingTeam dump that happened last night. See the previous discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9836336 and associated files https://github.com/hackedteam

For those of you who are interested, here is the code: http://pastebin.com/shcMPTHc
paraxisi··on Ask HN: Using a mac as the main development system or not
If possible you should definitely get an SSD; mac or otherwise, the speed bump is more than worth the price. However, if developing for osx/ios is a priority, you don't (easily) have a whole lot of choice.

I was in the same boat as you roughly two months ago (needing to develop on ios/osx) and vmware/vbox ios wasn't cutting it. I was able to snag a 2014 mbp on ebay for a measly $1,000 (ha).

Best of luck either way!

paraxisi··on Animated Algorithms
Does it really need to reload the whole page to change to a new algo? Creates a crazy history trail you'll have to backspam through.
paraxisi··on Looking for a developer to help me finish my sideproject left by the wayside
There's no details at all with regards to what the project is, how can one decide to join you if they have no idea what you're doing?

Web/desktop/mobile? Game? App? We've no idea. You should share something about it, otherwise I don't expect you'll see many responses.

paraxisi··on Why Do Nigerian Scammers Say They Are from Nigeria? (2012)
You can click away from the modal to close it.
paraxisi··on Twitch implements YouTube-like system for blocking copyrighted audio
Cue the mass exodus to other services that don't attempt to police content proactively.
paraxisi··on CSS Diner
This was the only issue I noticed having gone through them all, the ordering seems to be specific on a few of them.

All in all pretty fun, the tips on the right make it fairly trivial to trudge through if you're not great at CSS (like me.)

paraxisi··on PHP 5.5.8 Released
I've seen this around a few times, seems to be what you're looking for http://www.phptherightway.com
paraxisi··on Bitcoin Private Key Necromancy
I have also heard/read about a few people doing this.

If I remember correctly, you need a special tool to pick the platters up out of the drive without rotating them, but aside from that just a new controller/assy.

paraxisi··on From China, With Love
It's a feature in IDA.

paraxisi··on ICANN bans dotless domains
Page 7 of the report gets into the details a bit, from what I understand things like localhost where it's assumed that it's internal, and other assumptions made previously with regards to MX records/CAs.
