They use the broken SHA1 hash function

They answer this point on the website: "Q: Why do you use SHA-1 in the place of a MAC? [...] since this means still requiring at least 2^128 operations (instead of 2^256 with, say, SHA-2) to even begin trying to break this scheme, the trade-off seems fair."

Why not break the crypto (and take the money) if it's so amateurish?

This videos on Box don't work very well unfortunately: I can't pause and resume a video. Every time I miss any information I have to reload the page and start from the beginning of the vid....

Otherwise, great and I like the one video I watched. Thanks.

I recommend this book: "Happiest Toddler on the Block: How to Eliminate Tantrums and Raise a Patient, Respectful and Cooperative One- to Four-year-old" by Harvey Karp.

The book actually has plenty of "tricks". Contrary to what I have read in this page I found (and this is the point of Dr Karps' books) that there are plenty of tricks that are absolutely not intuitive.

For example to avoid a tantrum you repeat to the child what he actually wants ("Jimmy wants to eat more cake") then explain shortly why he cannot and propose something else. I found this works surprisingly well. Just the fact that the child hears what he wants from your mouth seems to make a big difference.

Thanks for the post.

What I find annoying is that to simply test a business idea where you need to store subscriber's email addresses you normally need to register at the CNIL for which you need a registered company which requires what is described in the article. It feels backwards somehow: you need to register a company (with all the paperwork involved) before you even know if it can work.

> "Making fun of nazism is allowed."

Making jokes using the word "Nazi" is common in America and England but is not well received by German people. I would recommend not making this type of jokes in Germany.

Would be interesting to see statistics of average sentence per crime. Something that would rank all crimes from highest average sentence to lowest, and where visitors can vote for sentences to go up or down. Crowdsourcing justice? Or is it better to leave justice in the hands of the few?
