Checked my girlfriends family. Some of them are army officials and their info is in there as well. With that info you could actually do some serious damage.

Also, based on address info we know this dump is 2-6 years old.

I'm using Dan Pollock's hosts file method[1] which is detected by Wired and Forbes, but not this site.

just because it's all javascript, doesn't mean you can "just" make a web client. electron, the shell atom is built on, has a lot of functions that are tied directly to the operating system and atom relies heavily on them. it also has a module system that allows you to do require() in front end javascript without needing to bundle anything. it would definitely be an interesting project, though.

I just looked at the source code and, well, wow. Comments sometimes in English and sometimes in Chinese, scripts are being loaded all over the place, one tag is just commented out, one inline script does nothing but assign a global variable to a value that's presumably just an output from PHP and many more things that feel really... odd for something that's supposed to advertise a new and complex technology.

The saddest part about this is that using WebViews really doesn't have to mean that it's clunky and slow. Slack's interface is pure HTML, CSS and JavaScript and it works just fine.

Now if this whole thing could be accomplished using pure redstone circuitry http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/109385-Computer-Bu...

Getting the same message on iPhone. I mean, I know that is technically Safari... But "please press cmd+c"

I met Bernstein a few months ago after he gave a talk about this same subject. In his talk he pretended to be a Verizon employee, explaining how vital it is to him and his company that they can track what their users are doing on their network in order to improve their advertising services. (Without breaking character at any point, pretty impressive.) I guess it's easier to reason about these things when you're trying to break something, rather than trying to prevent it from happening.

Come for the witty README, stay for the actually pretty nice NW app structure

Okay, I'll bite. The thing is that this isn't meant to be revolutionary, that's not the point. The typeface isn't designed to distinguish Apple from others, that's not what this is about. It's not even about 'returning to functional and readable' either. Hell, this isn't even about Apple. This is about the fact that typography, a craft that is as old as written language, is adapting to the digital age and we're starting to see fonts become intelligent and tweaking themselves depending on the context they are put in.

To me, that's a very interesting trend. Type is traditionally designed for print first, with screens as an afterthought. The idea of having fonts that adapt to different contexts and are actually designed for screens first is something I think is going to become more common practice and we'll probably see some really advanced applications very soon. Generative fonts are already a huge thing in poster design and it's nice to see the idea of fonts becoming more context-aware extend into interface design as well.

I feel like products that boast to be revolutionary also drive away users because it increases what they expect of a product. Products that are designed to be 'game changers' from the start often try to solve problems or offer people alternatives in areas where people don't like to make the compromises one typically has to make with things that are still in beta or just starting out. The trivial products come with lower expectations, which I think also lowers the threshold to give them a try.
