Sounds a good idea. I'd like to see a more technical description of how it derives the public/private key pair from a password. In addition, the language choice of C# is probably going to limit its popularity, given how C# is still tied to Microsoft world (I know they are open sourcing .Net, but that has not matured yet).
One reason that Asians outperform other racial groups in the United States is overlooked in the article: the difficulty of immigration. Most whites and blacks are born within the US, and Hispanics are either born or move into the US by simply crossing a land border. For Asians to come to the US, they have to cross the Pacific Ocean. In order to do that, they have to be either rich (at least middle class), highly educated, or extremely adventurous and self motivating. The Pacific Ocean filters out many would-be Asian Americans that would have lowered the average of the "modelness" of the group.
Depends on how one defines Asians. Chinese are rare among the higher ranks in tech, but many corporations have Indians (India is in Asia, right?) as their CEO.
But I've found that many GUI applications do not take /usr/local/bin into account. It's like only terminal applications, which are rightly affected by terminal environments, care about it.
If both legit and ad urls all look the same, and can only be distinguished by decrypting with a key, then adblockers may be unable to differentiate between the two.
Tons of apps to block ads come out this month on HN, but few of them are available on my country, China. I wonder if some can open source their code so that I can compile and install it on my iPhone by myself.
The "malware" can do two things: send tracking information to a server, and show popups (which may be spoofed as login dialogs). Both of these are entirely possible to be intended by the app authors, and in that case, it would be considered a feature. So it is almost impossible for anyone other than the app authors to find out it has been infected.
Every textbook on math I have ever read always start with intuition behind the idea, and then present definitions and proofs. Only some reference books, intended for look ups only, only enumerate formulas. I never understand why anyone claims that they only learn math by memorizing formulas.
Xcode.app includes a digital signature, which can be checked with `codesign`. As all OS X comes bundled with Apple's root certificate, one can check for the validity of that application by oneself without any additional trusted source.
Or if the developers never disable GateKeeper and read the warning, they will know that the application is not genuine.
