Additionally you could also use something like fwknop[1]. It opens the ssh port for your ip when you need it and closes it after a preset time has passed.
I think it's dangerous to go on record beforehand claiming something is "bullshit". If I've learned anything over the last view days it's that reports like these should be taken seriously and no stone should be left unturned to find out the truth. We can't just assume intelligence operations can't; we need to know they can't. Let the House of Representatives proof it's nonsense. Also, thanks for adding the bit about CIOT.
All the organizations in question have a permanent smut on their record. The angle I'm missing in this discussion is that this is a business opportunity for something new and better. Acquiring new users for a search engine, social network, etc was damn near impossible because you couldn't compete with the resources, quality and brand. Now they have a flaw; privacy. Maybe the homogeneous landscape of the tech industry can get shaken up. Kim Dotcom is creating an anonymous email service and I'm curious to see what other alternatives for common tech pops into existence in the wake of this.
Changing a government will take a lot of time; but a business outside the reach of US legislation could pop up tomorrow.
As long as there is fragmentation then flash will not be obsolete. For example the lack of a common supported audio format or shader language in browsers to name two.
> European merchants who want to take advantage of Braintree to accept online and mobile payments can now apply for an account online.
I feel this is a common misconception that accepting credit cards in Europe equals having a good online payment option in Europe. It just means you've half implemented a payment system in Europe since a lot of people here use Debit cards [1]. Besides that there are also other common payments solution like direct bank to bank online Giro systems for example iDeal in the Netherlands or Giropay in Germany.
Link removal requests can also be malicious. A blackhat seo will check his competitors domain to see if there's a spf record, if they're signing their mail, and if there's a catch-all (simply by checking if random mail is accepted). If there's neither they get a list of backlinks, from public web-crawls or sites like ahref, and request these links be taken down by sending mail with spoofed email addresses.
Bootstrap was actually build on code from ZURB http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4590315 The competition between the two frameworks just benefits the end user as they compete to out do one another.
If you have the icons as svg you could also try raphaeljs [1][2]. It'll render the svg path as svg on most modern browsers and as vml on older IE browsers (ie6+). The added benefit is that raphael also does animations which enables you to animate your icons on browsers that don't support css3 animation.
Besides the regular Qrcode there's also Mirco Qrcode[1]. Also the Reed–Solomon error correction in qrcodes take up a lot of datablocks. If a new standardisation for mirco qrcodes would allow for a version without error correction you could store even more.

1gbps with unlimited traffic start at 25e.
I've been hosting an irc server with them now for just under a year; and it's been down once for 2 hours due to a power failure.
Downside is everything is in French.
This was also a much used trick: http://news.ycombinator.com@1249739877
Although most browsers have implemented a warning of some sort it can still hoax spam-filters that use a regexp pattern which doesn't account for this type of behaviour.
Why is that? Flash seems pretty logical to me. If you were giving the choice to either design with a single language that compiles to bytecode and runs in a vm(jit), or an array of interpretive scripts that's heavily submitted to fragmentation, which would you choose? You'd probably go for the first, as would I.
Flash may be a bad implementation of good idea, but alternatives have not exactly wooed me either. To be quite honest; they all seem equally flawed to me. The fact that jQuery, Bootstrap, and others originated out of overcoming fragmentation pretty much proofs that point. Also different JavaScript engines give you different performances and have different bottlenecks. At least with flash you had the guarantee it would crash the same on all platforms.
HaXe and HaXeNME come pretty close. Especially NME with which you can create GUIs and games compile to c++, compile to html5 using jeash, create native phone apps, and compile SWFs all from the same code. With HaXe itself the code usually needs a bit of modifying depending on the target. They added java recently to it which is not yet available for NME. If anything; it's fun to play with.
In my opinion it's fine the way it is. HN comments are compact and only separated by the bare minimum, which makes for easy and fast reading. Stackoverflow doesn't digest that well for me because it has a lot of unnecessary padding, boxes, user info, etc.
