shimon_e··on OVH: PaaS DB PostgreSQL
RunAbove is OVH's incubator. It is very clear ideas are either moved to OVH or discontinued on their about page: https://www.runabove.com/about/about-us.xml

Which is linked from the homepage from the "learn more" button and numerous more times through out their site.

tdlr: Use RunAbove to test things. Not to deploy a live website.

shimon_e··on TTIP Leaks
1.2 trillion

Edit: I am answering a simple question. I am not offering any interpretation or comments. So I don't know why commentators are trying to drag me into a debate.

shimon_e··on TTIP Leaks
From Trump's mouth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8KXUThYjhs

"TPP is going to be worse... we can't let it happen... if I am president first day - boom - it's over... you know what it is 5,000 pages... that none of our people even read..."

shimon_e··on TTIP Leaks
In what ways would the TTIP effect his real estate empire? It seems to be much more relevant to other industries.
shimon_e··on Free VPN integrated in Opera for better online privacy
See illuminati vpn network.
shimon_e··on The Ars guide to building a Linux router from scratch
Interesting. I have been using such PCs in my Chinese office for about a year. They are made in a factory about 30 minutes from me. I was considering designing a better looking case and bundling a more reliable power supply to export these but I got busy with bigger business.

These Shenzhen factories are somehow getting these Intel CPUs for next to nothing. Factory price for the i5 model was about $100.

shimon_e··on Vivaldi Browser 1.0
I use to use vivaldi on my old computer due to performance issues with chrome. The killer feature I remember was stackable tabs. Going to reinstall it again to see what is new.
shimon_e··on Microsoft Bot Framework
The Bot Builder emulator is a Windows only app.
shimon_e··on The Little-Known Firm Helping the FBI Crack iPhones
There are many outside the NSA capable of developing brute force security bypass for the right price.
shimon_e··on This should never happen
C still in the lead for: why is this happening https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=why+is+this+happe...
shimon_e··on How and Why Swiftype Moved from EC2 to Real Hardware
RunAbove from OVH seems to be the best of both worlds. You can rent dedicated hardware by the hour for very reasonable prices.
shimon_e··on Universal SSL
There are plenty of cloudflare IPs that are blocked. Is cloudflare aware of this? A few were being used for cdnjs which causes problems for anyone using cdnjs.
shimon_e··on Shenzhen trip report – visiting the world's manufacturing ecosystem
Hey you may want to put your contact details in your profile in case anyone would want to meet up with you while in Shenzhen.
shimon_e··on Coffee naps are better than coffee or naps alone
Sounds like this would pair well with specially designed time release caffeine capsules that release 20 minutes before you wake up.
shimon_e··on Indian E-Commerce Firm Flipkart Raises Eye-Popping $1B
20-25 million revenue? I think you left off a zero there.... Unless those phones only have an average price of $20-25 in India.
shimon_e··on China bans use of Windows 8 on government computers
There are larger villages than that in China. Still you can visit a computer market in China and about 40% of the computers will be displayed with Ubuntu. So the average Chinese consumer is getting exposure to Ubuntu which is a good thing.

Japan has been doing this for about half a decade. Hong Kong started this practice at the same time as Israel.

Probably the same technology provider doing a global roll out based on country size.

shimon_e··on Inferno Raspberry Pi image – beta release
With most of the inferno team working for Google; I wonder why android hasn't adopted any of inferno's technology.
shimon_e··on Apple, Facebook, others defy authorities, notify users of secret data demands
Enough to be mentioned. To be used as the primary example and including Google as others?! Sounds more like an author that is getting paid for every Apple mention in an article title.
shimon_e··on Apple, Facebook, others defy authorities, notify users of secret data demands
Apple wouldn't be my example of choice of a provider holding tons of private data.
shimon_e··on Stripe Open-Source Retreat
What about developers working on commercial open source software? This would be an unbelievable deal for them!
shimon_e··on OnePlus One – $299 CyanogenMod 'killer' smartphone
BBK is the main investor for Oppo, Vivo, and Oneplus.
shimon_e··on Heartbleed attacks seen in March 23rd server logs?
"Although this is painful for the security community, we can rest assured that infrastructure of the cyber criminals and their secrets have been exposed as well." http://heartbleed.com/

Sounds like they may have scanned the whole internet themselves.

Google reissued their cert on 12 Mar. I assume that is when they discovered it?

shimon_e··on [dead]
I'm asking HN so we can have a discussion about possible threat scenarios.
shimon_e··on Why Heartbleed doesn't leak the private key [retracted]
China's Great Firewall most certainly had the capabilities of capturing plenty of private keys if they knew about this exploit for long enough.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7561901 Maybe CAs need to revoke their master keys?

shimon_e··on Most StartSSL certs will stay compromised
If someone stole your certs you are basically screwed until they expire. Currently most browsers don't check if certs are revoked.
shimon_e··on Most StartSSL certs will stay compromised
Who is suppose to pay for staff time require to manually maintain the revoke list?

BTW, revoking a cert doesn't stop it from being used in the wild as plenty of clients will still see it a valid cert. We are basically screwed until all current certs expire.

shimon_e··on Introducing Opencall
This is the thing about open source. Any one can make these improvements. Maybe you could open github issues for these suggestions and someone could have a go at making the patches.
shimon_e··on Gnome 3.12 Released
He means stuff like minimize and maximize.
shimon_e··on JsDelivr – The advanced open source public CDN
I wonder if you could somehow get Google as a sponsor too?

Maybe someone could convince them to adopt your multi CDN technology for web fonts? The reason why I want this is because in China the GFW periodically hangs connections to Google's IPs after searching certain keywords for 90 seconds. This causes any site that uses Google web fonts to hang until the connection is resumed.
