On: Tribler Makes BitTorrent Impossible to Shut Down

[xorglorb]

Skype would seem to fit the bill.

[phillco → xorglorb]

That was my best guess too, and Skype is also ubiquitous and would be extremely difficult (popularity wise) to censor. But I doubt video data is truly random -- it probably has some structure to it.

Encrypted video/voice data looks like encrypted Bittorrent data.

[phillco → anthonyb]

Oops, forgot Skype video was encrypted. Duh. In that case it'd do fine.

If you ever license a product to another company (ie. GitHub FI), you have to be GPL compliant.

[pquerna → xorglorb]

And during an acquisition GPL'ed software dependencies is at the very least a yellow flag to be fully investigated....

I found it in one of their demo applications. They hide a lot of stuff in there.

[brador → xorglorb]

Got a link to their demo apps? I just have the 3 html examples linked in from the main doc sheet.

On: SOPA could ban TOR

[xorglorb]

Small technical correction: I2P uses Garlic routing, which is based on the same basic ideas, but is implemented very differently.

On: Novel Optical Trick Creates Ultra-Secure Cash

[xorglorb]

It's much cheaper to counterfeit old currency that is still in circulation than to invest a lot of money in trying to replicate the latest security features.

On: Google is working on integrating terminal emulator...

[xorglorb]

NaCl doesn't have the low level networking capabilities needed for SSH, Telnet, etc. because they would be a security risk (a "game" could run a portscanner or look for open SMB shares on the network).

On: C++ Versus Objective-C

[xorglorb]

This is pure speculation, but its possible that the runtime does some tricks for performance (possibly in the method dispatch routine) that the NaCl sandbox doesn't allow.

On: Ask HN: Who is a hacker anyways in today's context...

[xorglorb]

Hackers are not defined by a degree, skill or field. Hackers are defined by a thirst for knowledge and a motivation to improve or manipulate the world around them.

On: Enable Safari Web Inspector for iOS5 Simulator

[xorglorb]

And to only enable this in debug builds, you can do:

  #ifdef DEBUG
    [NSClassFromString(@"WebView") _enableRemoteInspector];
  #endif
