Re:Passwordless authentication: Secure, simple, and fast to deploy on Wednesday October 15, 2014 @01:17PM (#8459986)

I think a good middle ground would be to implement this idea into a password manager. You have one strong password to unlock your manager. Sites that support passwordless Would send it to the password manager. Otherwise use it as normal. As long as the password manager is supported on all platforms I think this would be the best solution. As for how it would communicate I always prefer pull rather than push.

Re:Ask HN: Where are the 750k Bitcoins lost by Mt. Gox? on Friday February 28, 2014 @11:02AM (#7319489)

You can't really seize bitcoin. you can think you have. The only thing you need is a private key so if you store this in a encrypted file like you can with wallet.dat you can seize this file.

mean while you can have already split your key into parts and give them to trusted people. setup a dead man switch to email those people to talk and recombine private key, import into wallet and withdrawal funds.

this would have worked beautiful in silkroads case because the private was encrypted.

To bad you didn't go in detail about what you were complaining about would have been a great a article.

Sorry, didn't check back to see if anyone replied to me until today. Source, My self. Unfortunately I don't think I can recreate my proof.

Around July 2013 the company I work for was looking for a new front desk person to handle payroll/AP/answer phones. Well the main boss was googling the top 4 people. One popped up as a criminal like 4 or 5 links down on google. He went around poking fun of her and her arrest recorded. At first I laughed. The next day I was thinking how did he get this info. I asked him and he said a simple google search.

I did the same search sure enough there she was. (mind you we have no idea how she is spouse to look) He dismissed her based on this alone. What really sucks. Something seemed off so I looked into. I was able to get the exact same picture to show up on several names and several charges. Started playing around with it and got pretty good at predicting the results. I know for 100% fact it was dynamically creating pages. I got pretty bored fairly quick. So I didn't note anything down as its not my main interest.

Why I think I can't recreate what I was seeing. It seems they have been getting in a lot of trouble as of late.

Its a removal service but links to all the sites: I'm sure one of them is the one I was talking about. If you want to spend time i'm sure you can reverse some of the sites algorithms and find something similar to what I was talking about. http://www.internetreputation.com/information/delete-your-mu...

I realize am just some random dude on the Internet so I understand you can't just take my word for it, but there it is. Hopefully, its enough information to make you think I am not some kind of lair ;)

Re:When Doctors ‘Google’ Their Patients on Wednesday January 08, 2014 @10:42AM (#7024130)

This is horrible. mugshots.com is a fake website. It creates fake profiles based on queries it gets. So you enter in: First Name Last Name Drug. It will put a fake picture most likely based on last name. Meaning Ramirez isn't going to pull up a white dude. Gender is based on first name. drug or crime creates the context. It then creates several pages based on this. Then it relies on the person doing the search to apply bias. Throwing out information to make it fit your preconceived notion.

This is extremely dangerous and unbecoming of a doctor. What if the lady really had no idea. What if her son swapped out the sugar with cocaine in a panic and she OD on it.

Bottom line don't trust everything you read on the internet.

I first discovered these 10digit decimal formatted IPv4 address about a year ago when testing/analyzing android apps. Created a quick python scripts to convert back and forth.
