We are very secure and make sure to cover many angles to insure your data can never be compromised. Many often ask what exactly we do to make the data so secure. Unfortunately, one of the things that makes the site so secure is that we do not disclose the exact encryption practices.
I just threw up in my mouth a little.
It's also a bit weird that it's apparently two unrelated products in one. Pinterest and LastPass: two great tastes that taste great together?
Wow, that's either cool or the worst word choice ever.
"insure": Provide insurance coverage. Arrange for compensation in the event of damage to or loss of (property), or injury to or the death of (someone), in exchange for...: "the car is insured for loss or damage"
"ensure": Make certain that (something) shall occur or be the case.
"Insure" can also take the latter meaning; I think it's an American/British thing. The New Yorker uses "insure" for both meanings, and it trips me up every time.
At first I thought, "Well, but the New Yorker does have a few quirks" - but the analogous search for the NYT shows that they do it too.
I always assumed "insure" for "ensure" was a sign of illiteracy. What's that thing called in psychology where the brain edits out incongruent things and just doesn't see them? I must have been doing that with "insure" for years.
What part of the US are you living in where ensure is not used? As an American living in the US, this would wind me up too! But for all "intensive purposes" some just don't know any better and don't have the "gaul" to "care less."
It is probably one of these things where Americans swung one way and Brits the other. Another example is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium#Etymology where Americans use the original British spelling and the Brits use the original American spelling!
But insure and ensure mean different things - they can't be interchanged!
"How secure is MySocialCloud.com?
From day one, it has been our goal to provide the best security on the web. While we don't expose how we keep MySocialCloud secure (if we told you, it would be unsecured!), we do ensure that not even our employees are able to see any of your sensitive data."
One of their videos shows a bookmarket so I'm going to presume they're using that for somekind of encryption clientside with AES???
THIS is exactly what people on HN should be doing. Embrace and extend. Call these people up - say "Hey! I saw this and I was a little concerned. I am an [expertise goes here] who has done [experience ges here] - I'd like to either give you some advice or connect you with people who are masters of solving this problem.
Mentor them and who knows, you may get to meet Sir. Richard someday and gain his interest in your own projects! (but dont make this the goal of reaching out to them)
> THIS is exactly what people on HN should be doing.
I don't think so. If you start a business and you neither have a clue about your core product - i.e. security - nor care about asking someone who does, you better fail soon and the world will be a better place. There are too many wannabes already, don't you think?
You don't just "start" on passwords/usernames - seriously it's not a game (but I suppose consumers ask for it if they trust a bunch of kids).
Look at all the password leaks over the last couple of years and you'll realise it's not a damn game - you really need to know what you're doing. Especially if that's your core value proposition.
Security is not a "move fast and break things" start-up.
It's a "don't screw up or you'll get sued into the ground" start-up.
