Squarespace (https://www.squarespace.com) has a good reputation. If your site doesn’t require any code on the back end (and I would guess it doesn’t, given its age) you could put it on Amazon S3, so you pay only for the storage space (a few cents per gigabyte). --Barry On 3 Jan 2017, at

Re: [FRIAM] "Drop box" phishing

No, but the phishermen are getting better and better all the time. In some cases, I have to look at the message source, for email, to check what the real URLs are for the links. I see a lot from the .ru domains. I don’t really see how people can avoid these scams without a trove of knowledge

Re: [FRIAM] "Drop box" phishing

something significant or such a convenience already exists somewhere. Perhaps here: https://bufferzonesecurity.com/product/how-it-works/ But that seems very "enterprisy" or "sledgehammery". I'd think one could do a personal version merely with a little clever scripting.

The ones who benefit from this veto would be the big companies such as Comcast and CenturyLink that are eager to preserve their monopolies. Other than that I have no insight (but would welcome that of others on this list). --Barry On 16 Mar 2017, at 12:37, Robert J. Cordingley wrote: Does

I’m sure it works. Art Jaffe is a respected mathematical physicist and once president of the American Math Society. I downloaded the preprint but haven’t had time to look at it yet. It seems aimed at quantum stuff. --Barry On 3 Mar 2017, at 20:40, Owen Densmore wrote: Interesting new

There’s an article in Quanta Magazine (https://www.quantamagazine.org) that claims RSA encryption will still be viable after the quantum computing revolution. I only skimmed it, but what struck me was the mention of terabyte encryption keys. --Barry On 18 May 2017, at 10:37, glen ☣ wrote:
