joe_inferno··on It's Sounding Like Boeing's Starliner May Have Failed
I mean, the person you're responding to does so…
joe_inferno··on Show HN: Lantern, a dedicated Mac app for website auditing and crawling
Looks pretty cool, but I ran into bugs right away, trying to add more than one saved website - it would revert to the previous one for whatever reason
joe_inferno··on Raspberry Pi 2 Model B on OpenBSD
I'm unfamiliar with that rebuttal, but it sounds like it has significance. Could someone explain it to me?
joe_inferno··on A (Terrifying) Traffic Analysis of Windows 10
It would feel less click-baity if they hadn't included the word "Terrifying". Let the reader decide where on the scale of fear the results fall.
joe_inferno··on Work for a remote culture
I suppose it would depend on who he's trying to sell this to ;) workers are more inclined to like the version you present while employers would be more inclined to like his version.
joe_inferno··on Could we reboot a modern civilization without fossil fuels?
I can't tell if your post is sarcasm or not, but I'd just like to point out that while not perfect we have 1) intelligence as individuals and 2) political mechanisms as a species that would enable a change of course (if one is possible to begin with) whereas the cyanobacteria lacked both of those things.
joe_inferno··on Ten Years of Git: An Interview with Linus Torvalds
git bisect is a powerful one i use to identify when a given bug was introduced
joe_inferno··on 8 Small Git tips
For OS X I highly recommend the lightweight Gitbox. Although I haven't seen an update in a long time, there are some visual issues in Yosemite, and it crashes from time to time, it makes the most common tasks super easy. Single keystrokes to pull/push, add all, commit, etc.

joe_inferno··on Apple Confirms Its $3 Billion Deal for Beats Electronics

joe_inferno··on NYPD’s Twitter request for photos backfires
Well, as long as 2 am Chinese food is more valuable than a street drug deal with a slight chance of violence

joe_inferno··on Two Factor Auth List
I setup a bank account in Germany in 2007 that issued me a hardware token generator (I forget the name of the bank). It was my first experience with 2 factor auth, and I'm a little surprised that I have yet to see it implemented with banks in the US.

I got coverage under the ACA as a freelancer for myself and my wife at $420 a month.

This is a little reminiscent of Mormonism (minus the 'only you and me' bit)
joe_inferno··on Why does Apple continue killing bitcoin apps?
Do they take 30% from banking apps?
joe_inferno··on Show HN: Secure remote iSight viewing and motion detection for Mac, iPhone
Sorry, do you mean to the Hard Disk, or in High Definition? :) OnCue already does record to the disk when you configure it to, you can set it to record on either a motion or an audio trigger.
joe_inferno··on Show HN: Secure remote iSight viewing and motion detection for Mac, iPhone
Yes, no data is sent otherwise. If you have ever synchronized an iOS device, the desktop app will make a quick connection to determine its external IP address upon launch and communicate that to my managing server, but this is only used when a synchronized iOS device wants to connect.

Thanks for the idea about launching on specific events, I will definitely look into putting this in a future release :)

joe_inferno··on Show HN: Secure remote iSight viewing and motion detection for Mac, iPhone
Hi, I'm the owner and only developer. Your image data is sent through a TURN server I operate on AWS in order to facilitate the remote viewing, and only if a synchronized device exists and is online. You don't need have to synchronize an iOS device to use the other desktop features. Aside from the TURN server, the app makes connections to another server I control for managing synchronization between devices.

The data is encrypted using two way TLS and the traffic is sent (without any processing or storing, or transmitting to third parties) to devices you have synchronized.

Your fear is probably not atypical, and as an indie dev it's maybe my biggest obstacle for this app's success. With that said, my number one priority for users is data security. I spent a great deal of time working on the security aspects alone, and if you have any questions about the details please feel free to contact me-- my information is available on the website linked.

EDIT: more clarity (I hope)
