It's not that I am concerned about my security, as I use text message verification to recover my password. My issue with this it that people who don't give their phone number to google can be effected by this.

EDIT: Just set up 2 factor auth. Looks cool, until my phone dies and I don't have the backup codes with me.

That is true, but all of the things in that post are still true. All of the password recovery steps will work, no matter how the backend is done.

Aww, I was expecting a game of tetris in CSS.

But awesome all the same

Awesome idea. Combine with Stylish (A firefox extension) to make it even better.

Arch is the OS I use for everything, including Web Development, in the rare occasions that I do webdev.

Off the top of my head:

Make a 3d website.

Make a game (Easier then it sounds)

Make a scripting language that compiles to WebGL.

Good luck!

It might be interesting to make a 3d interface for HN. Articles with more activity float in the foreground, and articles with less activity float in the background.

Or articles with comments from people you score highly float out more?

An old article, but good all the same.

I like how they think the problem is that it smells like cat piss.

Ah, but paper letters are delivered by the USPS, and thus not secure against NSA spying ether.

The only reason internet surveillance is a problem is that it's easy to automate and doesn't leave evidence that's easy to spot.

Metadata on a physical letter is easy to collect without evidence of tampering, and the USPS takes photos of letters to make delivery easy. They supposedly delete the images. I assume they share the images with the NSA.

The contents of a letter in an envelope are harder to spy on, because it's a manual process and you leave evidence of tampering unless you're really good and careful. But really good and careful takes even longer.

If you're a specific target, then they'll get what they want. But if you're an average unsuspected person, a letter is just too much trouble to spy on, and I think they probably don't do mass surveillance on the inside of enveloped letters.

* Prepare 100 (or whatever) onetime pads using truly random events.

* Prepare a metadata sheet indicating the serial number of each of those one time pads.

* Hand both over in a face to face meeting (you keep a copy of metadata and one time pads).

* Indicate the serial number of the onetime pad used in your letter and encode the rest of your letter using that onetime pad and post the letter.

* Destroy your one time pad and your corresponding party also destroys his/her copy in an irretrievable fashion.

This all assuming nobody else gets to see the onetime pad except you both.

Yes, but that requires meeting in person. If you want to go that far, just use PGP + OCR + Air Gap.

Much simpler.

lavabit before it went down. As of now, PGP.

Privacy is dead, long live security!

PGP is the best option, but makes it harder for the recipient. Perhaps added security = added hassle, and there's no way around that.
