eik3_de··on Squirt.io – Readability Meets Spritz Speed Reading
Not sure. E.g. 'Kinderbetreuungsmöglichkeiten' means 'child care possibilities', that's three words in one. I suppose the brain just needs more time to parse that. But just counting characters to determine delay won't cut it, since 'Mississippi' is quite quick to parse.

eik3_de··on Was the iOS SSL Flaw Deliberate?
> I know security people at Apple. I do not believe for a heartbeat that they would cooperate with NSA on a backdoor

So you're absolutely sure that there is no developer (in the position) at Apple that would take a discrete paper bag of $$$ to make just a tiny error by hitting ctrl-v twice?

eik3_de··on German freemail sites trick Firefox and Chrome users into removing AdBlock

	Fasthosts

The attribute value can remain unquoted if it doesn't contain space characters or any of " ' ` = < >

If you go to https://atom.io/docs you can authorize the app with your github account. You still get the 'soon' page afterwards, but at least you're now something like an early atom.io beta user ;)

eik3_de··on About the security content of OS X Mavericks v10.9.2

Happy hacking!

eik3_de··on Ask HN: How can Apple safely upgrade a OS when the update app itself is broken?
Technically, that would be a solution. But I'd only trust it if Apple publicly explained how it works.
