If you're seeing enough of a transgender person in the bathroom to be able to determine if they're pre-op or post-op, chances are you're the one violating "basic decency" by being a creeper.
My thoughts are similar - they dont have one united vision about who they are, but they do have several successful internet properties - finance, sport, tumblr, flickr and more. It seems clear now that marissa is not capable to completely transform the company, but by doing incremental optimalization they can do just fine over time.
Flickr was incredibly successful at one point, but it has been slowly dying for years. I used to pay for Pro features there but one day they emailed saying that free accounts were now good enough. So revenue must be reduced since then. And what replaced it is a bunch of porn collectors. Ten years ago there was a community of photographers there. Now the only "likes" I get are on a couple pictures that happen to have nudity or a girl in handcuffs (actual police handcuffs, now reimagined as kink). Most of the people who try to follow me there don't even share a single photo themselves...they use Flickr to catalogue their fetishes.
It has been discussed over and over on hackernews recently so just tldr version.
Let’s consider two scenarios.
1) NSA forces CA to issues a certificate for google.com and decide to man-in-the-middle you.
In that case there is a mechanism call certificate pinning. To put it simply certificates of Google, Facebook, Twitter etc. are hard coded into Firefox and Google Chrome. (Microsoft provides this ability in IE using latest EMET 4.0). So if someone tries to send you cert for google, which doesn’t match the one hardcoded your browser would get crazy and issue a big red warning :)
2) NSA records your encrypted communication with Google and later obtains Google private key (either by factoring Google public key or using some secret court order or whatever). In this case they CAN’T decrypt your communication with Google because Google uses version of Diffi- Hellman protocol with so called ephemeral keys. More here http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2011/11/protecting-.... Ephermal DH is not implement by many sites (hackernews does it, facebook doesn’t)
SSL can be broken in myriad of different ways but at least in these two scenarios you are to certain degree safe
The encryption (if implemented correctly) is good, but if an intelligence agency has access to a Certificate Authority, or the target of your communications, man-in-the-middle attacks are feasible.
But the comment was talking about the previous entries of the RSS feed. For example, if I subscribe to some feed today, do I see entries published in the past? Like for example one year ago. If yes, how it is achieved?
Because in the Google Reader, when you subscribed to some blog feed, you could usually see the list of all articles published since the creation of that blog.
