I don't agree with this statement from the article:

This, and Tor’s history of US government sponsorship, has led to series of really embarrassing conspiracy theories from the likes of PandoDaily. This is why non-technical journalists should not write about technical subjects. If you’re going to suggest that open-source software has dark ulterior vulnerabilities, you need to point at exactly where they are in the code (or deployment process), or you will quite rightly be laughed out of the room. Funding and relationships are not unimportant — and I’m sure Pando will now write me off as part of the shadowy conspiracy, as Tor developer Jacob Appelbaum is an old friend — but it’s the running code that actually matters. Sadly, non-engineers don’t seem to understand this, or how laughably ridiculous they look as a result.

The author, Jon Evans, seems to imply this is a widely accepted standard, which is not my experience. It also doesn't seem realistic: While it's great that open source software's source code is available, it's not possible to review it all much less to catch subtle exploits that might have been introduced by security agencies - we can't even catch many unintentional exploits. Also, we know from leaks that security agencies have tried and have succeeded at times. Realistically it comes down to trust.

Think of it this way: How many HN readers, a sophisticated population, have reviewed Tor's code? How many feel they have no choice but to choose either to trust them or not? Also, how many open source projects have had security audits performed by anyone?
Actually the command line interface wasn't the deal breaker for me. I was asked to help out creating a website for a tiny organization (< 10 people). Once I found out multiple people would need to collaborate and edit the website it basically eliminated Hugo as a possibility. I suppose they could sync files via Dropbox but as I'm not a dropbox user myself I have no idea how it handles merges. Git is not really a possibility for obvious reasons.

Finally, deployment is the final hurdle. If they wanted to edit a sentence on a WordPress site it's very easy. But with something like Hugo it would be a 3 step process: Edit the file. Build the website. Deploy to your web host.
Even though it is not said in the article, I believe this is just google play & google play services returning to China, not Search or Youtube.

Man, I would not want to be them in 1981. I wrote in another thread on this post that programmability ended up being valuable to me, but I certainly didn't know its value when I got started with Linux and emacs.

I can only now articulate its value after seeing the limits of Linux' and emacs' programmability.

There are a many meal replacements out there that are meant to supplement a diet. Ensure for example is easy to find, but it's not designed to be the only thing you eat.

There are some medical products that fit the goal, but I don't know of any that are marketed to the general public. Though, if you actually have a better alternative in mind I think a lot of people here would be interested.

It doesn't help that climate change activists seem to rely so heavily on science as a way to win arguments on policy. Science just tells us what is happening and gives a way of predicting the future. It is not some silver bullet for deciding policy or persuading people to change their habits. We need people to be far more literate about the environment in general and understand why it is in their self interest to protect it.
The problem is that the driver is just not going to get significantly more than minimum wage from their employer.

If you could wave a legal wand and cause a fixed $2 per delivery to go into their paycheck, that's fine. But that's not going to happen.

Wait-staff in a world without tips can get paid more. I don't think a delivery driver gets paid more.
Fire OS fixed this bug in the Package Manager. Amazon treats both, the buyers and the developers, as its customers. Has a nice process in place to test top 10k+ apps on each upgrade and identify and try and fix issues arising due to AOSP.

Google needs to start doing the same thing or something similar. I have seen a fair share of broken stuff. Something even as basic as a ListView was horrendously let loose in a middle of a refactor between JB and L.

That documentation describes how to create a fat binary, it does not say that you are required to. In fact, it exlicitly states:

When you build multiple machine-code versions, the build system copies the libraries to your application project path, and ultimately packages them into your APK, so creating a fat binary. A fat binary is larger than one containing only the machine code for a single system; the tradeoff is gaining wider compatibility, but at the expense of a larger APK.

Furthermore, Google play explicitly allows you to offer multiple APKs, each targeting a specific device configuration [0], although there they do "encourage you to develop and publish a single APK that supports as many device configurations as possible".

Having said all of this, none of it is relevent to the main problem discussed, which is that the installer failed to unpack the libraries.

Show HN: Polymer IOT Home Dashboard – Android Phone Sensor Reporting
Not true. Google probably receives far more applications every year and still takes the time to screen every single resume and give them a shot. I graduated from a relatively unknown university in a relatively unknown part of the world, but they looked at what I did and not what stamp I had.
There is not. Software security is a new field, cryptographic software security is an even newer field, and mainstream cryptographic messaging software is newer still.

The problem with this flawed list is that it in effect makes endorsements. It's better to have no criteria at all than a set that makes dangerously broken endorsements.
Created a very simple Polymer website that shows "Realtime" sensor information from my phone. The site is hosted on github pages.

The website is connected with Firebase and uses binding to automatically update the values. And a simple background service app for my phone to send this data to firebase.

Feel free to look around and post feedback. The code is on Github https://github.com/QVDev/pdash/tree/gh-pages
Vigilante solution: You could automatically send a ransom request any time you see a company getting DDOS'd by an attacker. If the attacker is also asking them for a ransom (so the company gets two ransoms), you ensure confusion and that the attacker doesn't get paid. Otherwise, you might get paid while the attack happens.

This way:

(1) companies that pay ransoms are AWLAYS punished and it never causes an attack to stop
(2) no attacker ever gets paid a ransom
There was a submission on HN that might be relevant.

Precisely. In the wake of Shellshock and Heartbleed the sneering tone of the passage you've cited should profoundly embarrass the author. It does not accord well with the facts.

But there's the rub... by and large, it's not in my personal interest to stop global warming. Short-run gains matter more to a lot of people AND many people who could change won't see the return on their investment (or their bad behavior) in their lifetime.

(I should say, I'm not endorsing that thinking either... just noting that there's a challenge here, especially when one tries to frame climate change in terms of "self-interest")
Windows down immediately if your car goes into a pond, lake of river. That's the most important thing I got from mythbusters. The most philosophically enlightening statement from the show was "I reject your reality and substitute my own"
"All they care about is if you're smart and if you can contribute quickly."

You do realize that both of those descriptors are immensely subjective, right? How you assess "smart" is different from how I do, and there's no guarantee that the environment you create will allow me to contribute quickly compared to another one.
Death of the Commute: How Driverless Cars Will Save Your Workday
Na, know you are making a point here but let me jump off and make another point:

If you want to brimg the Fox News audience along to reach the goal try talking about conserving oil instead of talking about climate change.

A lot of people are deeply sceptical about agw without being neither stupid, paid by big oil nor wanting to destroy this planet. Some of us like me even want to stop using oil faster, -we just think this whole agw thing stinks fish when we see politicians arriving in private jet planes to climate conferences.

So again stop trying to sell agw to the fox news crowd and try sell conserve oil (for future generations or to be less dependent on the Saudis or whatever .)

(Full disclosure : I work in renewable energy now and has worked in recycling earlier and at some point I worked with communication and radar for oil and gas companies, helping them to save tons of fuel although imo that doesn't matter as it just meant more fuel to sell )
Not to nitpick, but Tested.com was its own entity prior to WhiskeyMedia being bought out by BermanBraun. [1] The Mythbusters were added to it later, much to the chagrin of original Tested fans. [2]

While I have appreciated the additional content Adam has provided to Tested, he is a very small part of the overall product and it is disappointing seeing the hard work that Norm and Will have put in over the years get overshadowed by the addition of a couple big names.

All of that being said, like you, I also enjoyed Mythbusters greatly before it got turned into heavily scripted, formulaic shell of its former self.

I think the debate around Soylent really suffers from disagreement of what users of Soylent use it for, what others think it is being used for out should be used for and what it is advertised as.
I think it's foolish to believe that Soylent will provide a very healthy diet just I its own. As you point out we know way to little about what the body needs. That's why no one I know who uses Soylent eats it exclusively. Unfortunately that's not what is advertised as. If you see it as an alternative to a rushed meal that comes from a fast food chain and our prematr from the freezer in the grocery store, Soylent is the better choice. I eat/drink Soylent for breakfast add weekday lunches. For dinner I usually have streamed vegetables and done lean meat with done fresh fruit later in the evening. I think together that probably makes for a much better diet than most people have. Yes, it could be improved by replacing the Soylent with a more traditional, but healthy meal, but the effort I'm willing to invest I breakfast and weekday lunches prevents that as far as I can see. Especially at the price point that Soylent comes at.
I'm certain that most Soylent users see Soylent as a replacement for a crappy sandwich or burger with a side of potato chips and not as a replacement for a wholesome meal.
Anyone know of a software like Rescuetime, but installed locally and not send data to a third party?
Sure, we can have a perfectly reasonable debate as to whether or not lazy-by-default is the best choice for a language. I personally like the laziness, but if Scala, or Closure, or ML, or Elm, or maybe by some act of god COBOL "wins" by taking the good parts, that's fine.

But here, we have an article trying to make some concept approachable - some math, not tied to a specific language. Maybe it's hard for most to follow, since it assumes the readers knows what a monad is. That's fair, but it'd be the same if it were Scala.

The top comment here - and a significant number of the upvoted comments here, and on every similar article - are just baseless attacks against the idea that people should learn this. Not questions or technical discussion, just attempts to ostracize the part of the community that finds it valuable. It's anti-intellectualism, plain and simple. Maybe it's the terminology, or the syntax, or because articles didn't show the lock before giving the key, but it is what it is.

Edit: Seriously, go re-read that top comment, from the condescending reference down to the assertion that it's all mental masturbation. In response to a post by a knowledgeable person trying to teach something useful to people who are interested. That's the top comment. Embarrassing.
> Ensure for example is easy to find, but it's not designed to be the only thing you eat.

Untrue. Ensure has many different products, and many of them are complete meal replacements.

> but always wonder why shared hosting is often PHP/MySQL only.

It's easy. Compare with trying to track Rails upstream, particularly in the 2.x/3.x days when minor version increments could sometimes see you building a whole new set of ruby binaries compare to what shipped with your base Linux distro.

How often do you hear PHPers handwringing about virtual environments, locking dependencies, and whatnot? Like DOS and Windows, the PHP world has done a pretty good job of making it easy to install PHP, run PHP programs, and not spend hours of your life dinking with mutually-incompatible bits of the stack.

Why would a shared hosting service want the pain of other solutions?

That's why we should really insist on talking about "climate change" rather than "global warming". I'm not a climate revisionist, but as a layman I do believe that climatology is about as good as economy when it comes to predict what will happen (well I'm a layman in economics too :-), and I do believe that instead of a global warning we might get an ice age. Or giant tornadoes all over the place 24/7.

We don't know if the data collected is from the total hours of "on-time" of the computer. This would mean that procrastination could be taking up the majority of the spare time. I'm on my computer around 10-12 hours a day studying, working, blogging and just browsing the Internet and would not be surprised if I spend around 286 hours a month at the keyboard. But it's not work all of it.

That you can still order when you are short on cash is a great argument against leaving the tip up to the customer (the driver gets screwed on ~100% of those orders).

Crowd Sourcing News in 20 languages
So it's a general lesson about domain-specific methods, not a domain-specific lesson?
Facebook is certainly not a place to keep up with the rest world for what's happening, but a place where circles of circles are created for people who's social type irrespective of time and distance.

Do remember, social circle is dynamic, so does the interaction on each connection, which Facebook has poorly supplied in its platform.

Although news consumption is a huge problem, making Facebook a news curate platform is a wrong path and ignoring Facebook own gold mine.

Twitter on the other hand could be a perfect news recommendation and push platform, yet it falls under its own weight. No one can deal with ocean of tweet without a tool to arrange all the pieces of news in order, and able to digest.

here here. got big love for Will and Norm and have been a fan of tested for a long time. In recent times they've been responsible for some of the most comprehensive VR news and coverage, and now Will is going on to do his own thing in the VR space whilst Norm continues on at the head at Tested.

I think/hope that their association with the mythbusters has promoted Tested to many who haven't heard of it before - and it's worth HN users knowing that they actually had a podcast with Adam called Still Untitled http://www.tested.com/still-untitled-the-adam-savage-project... as well as their regular thursday podcast which is usually great fun.

I typically work about 37 hours a week at a small company in Palo Alto - my work productivity is very high, since it's less of a pressure cooker for coding. However, I do typically spend about 4 hours outside of work a day on open source - the trick for me is that I do open source at my own leisure, which gives me as much space as I want, say if I want to take time off for vacation, a date, etc.

I agree that Wordpress is probably the most secure major CMS out there, but it's unfortunately still not good.
It had a whole bunch of XSS issues lately. XSS should be a thing of the past if people would implement Content Security Policy. I'm not aware that Wordpress is working on this. This is hardly defensible.

On the positive side I think their automatic update mechanism helps a lot and it's a pity other major CMSes don't have that.

would you rather had the British empire or the Belgium or Germans as your colonial masters?
True. But how do you determine how much anyone deserves? That's one critical problem we have to solve. Because it's fine to say that society should redistribute resources, we already do that so we can do more of that.

But how do you determine who gets what and how much of it?

What about children, if I were being selfish under such conditions I might want to produce 10-20 children all from different women. How do we stop anti-social behavior if people are not bound to work?

Also people are weird and often act irrationally. What forces them to act rationally is work. It's regimented and structured. Without that regiment and structure to keep people's mind and energy occupied, how do you control people? Without social control, society is not possible.
There's a difference between being aware and a conspiracy theorist - and claiming backdoors exist in a given piece of software without the slightest shred of proof is the latter.
