Sprint··on Let’s Make a Bubble Map
I am wondering why this requires Node.js. Is it just for topojson?
Sprint··on Reference Note on Russian Communications Surveillance
Directly to the source: http://csis.org/publication/reference-note-russian-communica...
Sprint··on Passwords are obsolete
On the upside, this might screw up the "campaign tracking" by counting the visits from HN as Twitter referrers.
Sprint··on Practical Cryptography With Go
Nice! http://markdownshare.com/view/b311d9a1-76a8-4007-bda3-ff9a9b...

I'd recommend adding some more metadata (when was it posted, maybe a nick/Anonymous) and a clear distinction between "frame" and "content".

Sprint··on Practical Cryptography With Go
As my browser displayed it with very long lines by default I wrapped it to 72 for better readability: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=NXgU30xK
Sprint··on FreeBSD OpenSSH Hole?
No, just someone crumpy about lack of funding.
Sprint··on Evolutionary algorithm to find Quake III's fast inverse square hack with Python
It's a sadly commonly used theme that also does not display anything at all if you don't enable Javascript.
Sprint··on LastPass and the Heartbleed Bug
I enable Wifi and let it login. Takes 3-5 seconds.
Sprint··on LastPass and the Heartbleed Bug
Using my local network or USB. Aren't most if not all your devices using your network too? There is no need for your private data to leave your network when you want to sync!
Sprint··on HTML is almost 100% responsive out of the box
Someone should register hey.sexy for those spicy voip calls via webrtc.
Sprint··on Beginner Web Design Mistakes
Web Design Mistake: Display no more than 9 lines of text to your visitors because you managed to fill the rest of the screen with a persistent bar at the top, a persistent SOSOCIAL bar on the side and your clickbait links on the other side: http://i.imgur.com/ruiBvN3.png

Sprint··on Yanukovych leaks
Of course! Anything that brings visitors who you can serve ads to is good content. Re-wording AP releases or stories from news websites does not take much time.
Sprint··on Yanukovych leaks
You mean the re-worded http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2014/02/al-jazeera-... ? You are welcome for me sending you to Al Jazeera.
Sprint··on German freemail sites trick Firefox and Chrome users into removing AdBlock
I have never had either happen. I use a local mail client though and have it set to delete mails at their end after 14 days.
Sprint··on Yanukovych leaks
It is harsh but I stand by it. Take a look at mashable.com and maybe you will understand my aggression.
Sprint··on Yanukovych leaks
Please let them do their important real work instead of your pseudo-journalism about social media.
Sprint··on German freemail sites trick Firefox and Chrome users into removing AdBlock
Just buy a domain and a small hosting plan that includes mail. I am using that setup for close to 10 years now and it is fantastic. I use all-inkl (hit me for my affiliate link if you want to sign up so I become rich) which are a high quality yet very affordable german host.
Sprint··on Density.io
Time to build a device that pollutes the databases with useless data.
Sprint··on Density.io
How are you going to restrain the signals to inside the shop?
Sprint··on Density.io
No need for such a perverted privacy violation, the shop could just install a door step counter like they are commonly used already. Then you would have the information how many people are currently in the store.
Sprint··on [dead]
This is really low, currently the title of this submission is "Logos of GNU packages – world's worst logos?". And so many people are just being inconsiderate unfriendly gits. Remember that humans designed those icons, be nice.

The list is not even up to date. Maybe some of you foul-mouthed people could spent the evening compiling an updated list? For example the GNURadio logo is http://gnuradio.org/redmine/images/gnuradio-logo.png nowadays. And maybe add an indicator from when the logo is and if the software is still actively developed.

Not to mention that this list mixes all different kinds of logo types. Splashscreens, homepage headers, application icons, etc.

Sprint··on What did Persona get right? Why did Persona fail to gain wide adoption?
Firefox themes I think.
Sprint··on Yale censored a student's course catalog site. I made an unblockable replacement
Yeah, no one else could ever think of doing something like this. Imagine someone in Europe, LOL! They just don't have the same standards for freedom or patriotism (as in standing up to defend our constitution) overseas!

Oh America, the land of the free and the home of the brave!

edit: Of course let's make it clear that America means the United States of America here. In Brazil or Chile people just would not care!

Sprint··on Bitcoin Tops $1,000 Again as Zynga Accepts Virtual Money
They don't accept Bitcoin as Bitcoin. They only employ a third-party service to take Bitcoin on their behalf and exchange them for US dollars. It's not showing any trust in Bitcoin, just hopping on a bandwagon for PR.
Sprint··on Business Ideas for 2014
Unfiltered 20 minute feedback with random things that come to mind. Use or ignore as you like:

Landing page needs examples right in my face. I thought they would come when clicking "Next". Don't make me search them.

Website pushes ALL content below the fold on a 1024x600 screen.

Resumes would look a lot better with good font choices!!!(!!!!!)

Be careful relying on color. Up to 8% of men have some sort of color vision impairment!

Webdev:

Is too busy for me too. It looks crammed. I'd say half the amount of text would be ok on a page. Worship the white space! I would not center the top text lines but justify them (with hyphenation if needed).

Second page of webdev I don't like the color gradients. Might be personal taste. They seem muddy/dirty to me. "X University" and "National Merit" are on different vertical levels, sloppiness alert! Include the name/address on that page too, small, at footer or header. Imagine if someone accidentally mixed up many applications and has to reorganise them.

I like how the maps shows the applicant moving around quite a bit. As it is a playful element, I would add tracks showing the movement (with direction indicators). :)

Restaurant:

I would have called it Passion, not Enthusiasm but I am not a native speaker so that might be bullshit. Passion sounds nicer to me.

I like the idea with the 3 pillars/columns!

Move the subtitles closer to their children, more away form their parents. That way you get clear connections.

You misspelled "received". To the pit with you!

I would try to end up with more space on the sides. Right now it would be weird to read when printed out I think.

Student job:

Again the subtitles need to be moved lower. I looked at their decorative lines for a moment wondering why someone would want to add handwritten notes/signatures there.

I think you could drop the "Academics", "About me" and "Experience" titles completely!

In the word cloud you could (carefully! only blues or greys!) play with color so the words get more differentiable. I'd write out the "5" as word.

Phone number on top is aligned weird. Either center it on the page or between the text elements on its sides.

Academics is old->new while the others are new->old? Stick with one order!

-----

I've been thinking of offering this kind of feedback on demand, eg "0.x dollar per minute of unfiltered constructive feedback by a pesky perfectionist". Not sure if that would worth trying though. Open for any feedback! :)

Sprint··on Bodily maps of emotions
This is very interesting, thanks!

The warm-dark color scales have a slight emphasis on the warmer colors though. They are not exactly of same lightness.

Sprint··on Bit gold (2005)
That's not what IA does. It says this is the first copy of that URL they have archived.

Blogspot does some beyond idiotic redirection to locale TLDs which fucks up all kinds of stuff. See https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://unenumerated.blogspot.c...

Sprint··on Telegram protocol defeated. Authors are going to modify crypto-algorithm
Because they do not have omnipresent sensors. That is a completely silly comparison.
Sprint··on Telegram protocol defeated. Authors are going to modify crypto-algorithm
I wholeheartedly disagree. For any user, the security we need is prevent eavesdropping & data mining by our governments. They use it to profile us, to find thoughtcrime and to secure their standing in a surveillance society. We should not let that happen.
