peawee··on Why I'm saying goodbye to Dropbox and hello to SpiderOak Hive
Hey, SpiderOaker here!

While open-sourcing the desktop client isn't going as fast as we'd like, I'd like to point out that practically all current and future projects are open source on our GitHub (https://github.com/SpiderOak/), including our next-gen encryption system Crypton (which will eventually replace the data structures in the desktop client ANYWAY)

Note that "Tape C Securities" are stocks listed "on the NASDAQ Exchange"; NASDAQ shut the whole thing down.

SpiderOak - Anywhere (Telecommute) - https://spideroak.com/jobs / https://spideroak.com/blog/20130722141302-python-web-develop...

SpiderOak seeks a web developer to build our next generation web presence and web applications. You will be working closely with our designers and our CEO, and you'll get regular code feedback from internal application security teams. Key technologies are Python, Django, and HTML5.

You’ll be expected to have mastery of HTML-related presentation technologies, from HTML layouts with CSS to JavaScript-based UI frameworks and Bootstrap. Prior knowledge of the Django ecosystem of reusable apps would be beneficial.

SpiderOak spans eighteen timezones the written word is essential. You'll need to join IRC channel occasionally during US business hours (but no rigid scheduling), participate on our bug tracker, wiki, and email.

Some of the best programmers we've known have poor resumes, so we have no minimum requirements for degrees. We’re also super-equal-opportunity: quality design knows no bounds for race, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, species (Giant Pandas will be encouraged because "AAAAhhhh-dorable!!!!") or religion. If you can meet what we need, we’ll do amazing things together.

peawee··on Why do self-respecting hackers use Gmail & Co?
To be fair, this is a guy who does hardened, embedded RTOSes. In the normal world implementation, of course crypto matters.

Sometimes I need to take off my "all software sucks and I hate everything" hat before posting :-/

peawee··on Why do self-respecting hackers use Gmail & Co?
Someone I know once told me crypto is funny because all you have to do is compromise the OS's socket implementation.
