Do they captured a real picture of the planet or the image is artificialy colored?
neur0mancer··on On Encrypted Video and the Open Web
It's strange that they say that they want to help to build "open" DRM-based systems...

Another interesting details is that if you are a software maintainer of these projects, you are free to submit your own patches.

This means that Google is virtually funding these projects..

You are forgetting one advantage: If you open-source, you will undermine your competitors.

neur0mancer··on The Hacker News Generation (Afraid of Hard Work)
I don't think i want to work that hard.. i lived and worked in the U.S for a short time and i tasted what is to work very hard.

I discoverd that i prefer to work a little less hard doing things at my own speed, even if i don't develop my "full potential".

neur0mancer··on Ask HN: What open source license is appropriate for my project?
MIT/BSD is a "safe" choice.

If you see that companies are using your work and not contributing back, you can shift your contributions to GPL in the future.

neur0mancer··on Ask HN: What open source license is appropriate for my project?
It depends on what you want for your project:

GPL 2-3: If you want to create a comunity around your code. AGPL: Same as GPL but it can't be used remotely without releasing the source code. BSD: If you want to be flexible enought to let companies to use your code without releasing back the source.

Of course, these are simplifed explanations.

We want to replace REIL with BAP. REIL was a good starting point, since instructions are very easy to parse and understand, but BAP is the future.

Another option is to adapt the open source (r)reil translator[1]

Thanks!

Btw, the project is looking for collaborators. I belive this is the kind of approach to discover and report security vulnerabilities in the 21st century..

neur0mancer··on Ripple is officially open source
If you are wondering "what is Ripple?" Wikipedia's definition[1] is the best:

"Ripple is an open-source protocol for a payment network. In its developed form, the Ripple network is intended to be a peer-to-peer distributed social network service with a monetary honour system based on trust that already exists between people in real-world social networks"

neur0mancer··on Ask HN: Is it time for a public GPG audit?
It's always a good time for a revision of privacy/security tools.
