Yes, people wear helmets on bicycles, on motorcycles, in race cars, and in spaceships, but that doesn't mean a bicycle helmet would work in a spaceship.įinally, the FAQ / privacy policy doesn't answer the most obvious question: since it's an OS X app, and it claims to operate only on "enabled directories", it's sandboxed, right? You say it writes to ~/.kite, which suggests it's not, but maybe that was just shorthand for "its own private config file". It sounds like you're observing "People put passwords in the cloud" and "People chat in the cloud" and extrapolating that any level of security is fine for all kinds of data. ![]() The combo for the bathroom doesn't really need to be secure at all. Chatting with coworkers only needs to be moderately secure. You certainly cannot see our source code or our terminal history. If you break into our Slack account, you can see what we're having for lunch, what time we did our last deployment, and the funny names we call our competitors. No, I use Slack because my workplace decided for me, and I'm careful not to put anything sensitive there, because I don't trust them. If you use any of these services or any like them, it is probably because they have earned your trust over time through transparency, product quality, and well-considered privacy policies. Many of us already implicitly trust some of our deepest secrets to chat apps such as Slack. Are you using my source code as an index for other people? I can't think of any other reason. I've read this 5 times and I still have no idea why you need to copy all my source code to your servers. This index is simply too large to ship to each client. Why does Kite send information over the network? Our backend contains an index of tens of thousands of python libraries, including documentation, examples, and models of how public-domain code uses these libraries. What information does Kite keep around on its servers? Contents of all Python files in enabled directories. If I type the start of a password by chance, is it going to visibly suggest the rest of it? Are you claiming your security is as good as our password manager? (Is all data encrypted-at-rest? What algorithm does it use?) I think it's nuts to let passwords get into a text database which is indexed. Github doesn't see our passwords, either. Even if I was fine with uploading my source code to you, there's no way I'd let you see my terminal history. Terminal commands include passwords (which would let you access our user's data), and for those we have a much higher standard of security than our source code repository. What information does Kite keep around on its servers? All terminal commands. ![]() Many developers have already chosen to trust their code to services such as Github and Bitbucket. ![]() The privacy policy just says "Kite does X" and "Kite does Y" and it's not at all clear to me whether this means the application, or the service, or both. It looks like both an application, and an external service. This is one of those things that demos really well, but there's just so many little issues, I'm not sure that the benefits would outweigh the risks. a/accessible/generic/BaseAccessibles.cpp +++ b/accessible/generic/BaseAccessibles.cpp -110,30 +110,34 LinkableAccessible::Value(nsString& aVal if (isLink) ) is(gBrowser.I'm torn.
