attilak··on Filmmakers Ask Nikon and Canon to Sell Encrypted Cameras
Well with many cameras people usually record 4k video to an external device, connected to the video output of the camera anyway (like Atomos Shogun). Adding an encryption to this external device might be a better approach.

And also as mentioned before, just recording to an encrypted macbook or any other laptop might also work already, just the size might be a problem.

Meanwhile in Eastern Europe people still can't afford a car with automatic transmission...
attilak··on 40-Thread Xeon PC Build for Less Than the Price of a Broadwell-E Core I7
I built one of the dual E5-2570 PCs, put in a GTX 1080 and all latest games run very good on maximum graphics settings.

I get the same results as what I see in other tests with GTX 1080 and 6700K. So I can't confirm that there would be any real performance impact on games with such a setup... Even if I get lower results, it is marginal and way over 60FPS (2560 resolution)

attilak··on Ask HN: Did you implement a lunch picking app at your startup?
We (well I) started an instance of Hubot on our company slack. It checks most of the restaurants near the office (scraping) and announces the daily menu and prices on request. Then we just try to pick one. We are in Vienna (Austria), BeeOne.
attilak··on Trackers and bank accounts
People want the banks to have better and more usable netbanking pages. Improving the UX without tracking the users behaviour is pretty hard.

If some lawyers then say that SHA1 is enough, it is enough, the people implementing it might not even be involved in that discussion.

The real problem I see here is that the tracking data is forwarded to Google servers outside of the EU. This might be against EU laws.

attilak··on Show HN: Free, instant, secure, disposable chat rooms built in Go
Would it be safe to keep the crypto lib on the client somehow? Browser addon? local storage? How would we do that?

Nice idea, sadly only as secure as https.
attilak··on Google sends reporter a GIF instead of a 'no comment'
I think this response is connected maybe to yesterday's facebook (f8) event...
