| schestowitz__ | " | Jun 16 01:21 |
| schestowitz__ | @Cronos, Ajax.googleapis script are NOT dangerous, they are the same javascripts libraries you find on the official developer webpage (and you can compare it, its code is visible). Hosting your own javascript libraries on the same server (such as jquery, backbone, zepto, etc) is not a good idea, because it overloads the number of request when you open a page. For example, imagine you load joindiaspora.com/stream, it executes a | Jun 16 01:21 |
| schestowitz__ | couple of HTTP Requests for getting the HTML page, CSS Stylesheets, images and Javascript files. Each javascript file is a separate HTTP Request. Let's imagine a single page loads 7 javascript libraries from your own server, now multiply it by a millions of users that are doing the same request at the same time, pummm!!!. That's why it's very common that web developers use a CDN (Content Delivery Networks) such as Ajax GoogleAPIs | Jun 16 01:21 |
| schestowitz__ | or Cloudfare because it manages that common problem nowadays by loading the libraries from different points from all over the world reducing the overload and caching the requests. | Jun 16 01:21 |
| schestowitz__ | The only thing I disagree with Diaspora* is the use of Google Analytics, that's one of the most spying tools all over the web. I use Ghostery on Firefox to block it. | Jun 16 01:21 |
| schestowitz__ | " | Jun 16 01:21 |

| roy_ | It's chilling to juxtapose this 2012 lecture with the slides provided by Edward Snowden that show us that "hactivists" were basically anyone with an well articulated online opinion that might in any way threaten some major corporation's profits. As late as October of 2013, clowns like Alexander were spouting psychobable about shadowy groups, | Jun 21 23:16 |
| roy_ | As the experts talk about the calamitous consequences of a cyber-attack on Wall Street or our electric power grid, they never actually specify who is going to do this. Or why. In fact, the whole threat rests on the juvenile assumption that someone or some government - maybe Russia or a hacktivist group - will cause a disaster just because they can. | Jun 21 23:16 |
