What would have happened to Hillary's emails if WikiLeaks would not have existed?

Russia (probably?) still would have released them. WikiLeaks is merely a tool for entities wishing to release secret information and documents.

Personally, I prefer WikiLeaks to be indiscriminate towards the secret documents they are entrusted with. If they weren't, another service would probably pop up doing exactly that.
Ran an identical search in the "new" Focus and in Safari with 1Blocker and set to use DuckDuckGo. Focus with Yahoo search page leads off with 2 sponsored search results, aka ads, which take up most of the screen on my 5s. Safari with DDG has none.

Focus deleted from device.
Regardless of how (in)significant you think the material they release is, there's no such thing as too much transparency.
For many years now, I've had one or two NTFS partitions on my dual-boot machine (Win7/Ubuntu), which are regular drives in Windows, and which are volumes mounted with all files set to 777 permissions in Linux. Have never had any problems with corruption, access denied, etc. Works great for volumes that mainly contain documents and media (and some Windows executables). But you can't mount "/" and co like that, and similarly, I can imagine that it would be inadequate for WSL, which stores many system files on NTFS, where many of those files have to use more restrictive permissions (e.g. 600 for many core binaries / configs), otherwise errors result.
This would be more useful if it were applied exactly the opposite way. What facial features is the court system or even society at large biased against?

Go check last.fm, I've written other comments about it here but I am not trying to spam, I am just trying to share what I think it's still the best resource for discovering music you should listen to.
Voting with your wallet is easier and often more effective. Apple had to be stubborn here because a full Chrome and Firefox (with extensions and apps) could potential hurt their app store revenue.
Technology can be made impervious to spies but organisations based on humans cannot.
What would you propose they do? Not leak documents based upon who the source is?

If the documents are authentic, why does it matter who the source was?

If A leaks documents on B revealing corruption about B, just because A's motives may not be pure, doesn't make B any less corrupt.
None - they never did match the (encrypted) files.

WL commented on this conspiracy theory earlier today, both saying Assange appreciates the concerns that he's dead, and saying that "obviously" the hashes are for decrypted files, not the encrypted ones: https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/798997378552299521
I agree with the linking idea.
At times it feels that they should be called american-govmnt-leaks.org. Where are all the juicy leaks from Russian, Chinease, French, Mexican, Brazilian, Egyptian, or other nation states. Where are the leaks from mafia, drug cartels, or other criminal organizations. Records from financial institutions, law firms, drug companies. Records from catholic church and other religious organizations. There is so much corruption in the world, that it seems incredible that Wikileaks so much focuses on the US. Maybe leak some information on people that stole $18B from republic of Moldova. Or how tobacco, big oil, pharma or others are using their profits to gain even more profits. Where is all that?

Ask HN: Should I take Senior Mobile Engineer or Junior Web Engineer?
I am junior mobile engineer (Android) in one of largest Startup in my country for one year. This is my first job after I graduated from college. I take the junior mobile engineer role because that was the only software engineering field which i'm confident at the time. 4 months ago I was interested in web front-end engineering and started to learn ReactJS.

After one year working here, I started to think to resign and continue my career in another company because there's shifting in management level and directed the company's vision I couldn't no longer follow. Meanwhile, I fell bored with Android engineering because not much i can learned here. Then, I found two job opening which I'm interested at, one is senior mobile (Android) engineer and the second is web front-end engineer (ReactJS).

My question is, should I continue my career as a senior mobile engineer which is the field i'm currently have confident in (and got salary increment), or as web front-end engineer one (which required me to learned from the start)?

Based from current state of both Mobile (Android) and Web front-end (ReactJS), which one I should take?
Everyone has their worldwide internet solutions, Google balloons and Facebook gliders, but this is easily the most plausible. Musk tends to see his ideas through.
I seriously doubt they are skimming. It's most likely the company that is actually doing the currency exchange that is overcharging AirBnB and they are pushing the cost onto the end user.
This is good news. I always wanted something like this in browsers on desktop. I know this one is for iOS, but at least I can use it on my mobile.

Anyone know why this isn't available on Android or desktop (Linux)? Technical reasons or is it due to not enough developer bandwidth to implement it (which is reasonable too)
Secret World of US Election: Julian Assange Talks to John Pilger[5Nov2016:Video]
RIP :( I remember when oink went down...
You're saying you know why these arguments are being made, and furthermore that they're motivated by irrational beliefs.
I believe strongly in transparency as a way to prevent corruption, but spreading misinformation doesn't stop corruption, it furthers it. It doesn't 'shine a light', it creates shadows where a brutal dictator can hide while he hurts others. Look up "useful idiots" to understand the role they played.

It's too easy to cite principle such as "transparency" in order to ignore the difficult questions of responsibility and consequences. If Wikileaks wants to help the world and 'shine a light' - well that sounds like what journalists do; why shouldn't Wikileaks also verify and corroborate information before giving it to the public?

Why would I trust any of the information if they don't? In a way, Wikileaks is the epitome of the propaganda and fake online news that influenced the U.S. campaign.
With this many satellites being launched I hope he has a plan to clean them up when they're ready to be decommissioned or worse if a couple hundred get destroyed. aka natural disaster or state sponsored

Prove it. I have never seen any credible claim that wikileaks has had deadly mistakes.
It's really bizarre how your comment has made it to the top of this thread, considering that it seems that the prevailing opinion here on HN is supportive of wikileaks.

Your claim that the leaks are not newsworthy is absurd in the extreme, and your judgement is in question. There are hundreds of items of greater interest and importance in those mails than in a good portion of news stories published by most major news outlets. You are either grossly misinformed or purposefully misleading readers.

Toyota Sienna. Before that, it was a Chrysler Town & Country, which she went through four transmissions on before finally giving up on it. Looking it up, I guess it was a V6, but it had some serious power on it.

I just found it funny that brake jobs on that poor minivan always cost shitloads of money because she always ground the pads all the way down to the metal and obliterated the rotors. I'm sure that the mechanic always sighed and shook his head ruefully at her.

When I took my fiancee home to meet the folks, she made her carsick. I found this hilarious because I'd grown up with it, so it was completely normal for car rides to be ZOOM-STOP-ZOOM-STOP the whole way.

For the record, I drive like a grandma.
I'm not sure if this is the same group of emails you talked about, but at the very least they admitted to a conspiracy to try to incite a "revolution" within the Catholic Church using pseudo-Catholic lay organizations with morally progressive agendas. That doesn't seem like a small thing.

You mean the alleged (never verified) DNC emails. Hillary's emails were released by the FBI and in response to a lawsuit.

This is running the static analysis pass instead of the normal compile pass, but stuff is improving. Of course you're preaching to the choir as far as I'm concerned - this stuff is way late to the party, and speaking generally, has issues with false positives and failing to detect things.

There is such a thing as NTFS tunneling, if that's what you mean. Not sure what you have in mind if you mean otherwise.
Yes I did the same research and came to the same conclusion. I ended up with utorrent v2.2.1 and it works very well through wine on ubuntu as well. It's just a pity it doesn't have any more sophisticated command line control or interface.

I wish there was a great linux/opensource client that worked as well as utorrent, but everything I've tested has had some aspect of it that I didn't like.

Great stuff but .net core copied most of its best features. You can make a very light self hosted web API without IIS now.
"Authentic" does not always equal "worth publishing", of course.

I have no problem with them publishing stuff that's legitimately concerning. But a lot of the Clinton leaks (and I'm no Clinton fan) seemed to me like little more than doxxing, in the full knowledge that the emails would pick up a tinge of scandal by association simply because they showed up on WikiLeaks.
OK that's it. This is why I need to build a large company and become rich. So I can get all kinds of ideas that I have done, instead of listening to people telling me how hard it would be. They would just get done.

Pyramid and Postgres on the backend, Mako templates w/bootstrap on the front.

When I'm prototyping, my data model is stored procs that return json structures to the templates. I use SQLAlchemy core to connect to the db and execute the procs.

A prototype like this is super fast to get running, it gives you a really clean app structure that you can hand off to pretty much anyone and have them work on features, if you're lucky enough to have a team. If not, it's pretty easy to keep it all in your head at once.

As things grow, you can replace components as you need to.

You start off rendering JSON anyway, so if you need a more advanced interface up front, you can use React or Angular or Ember to hook into the data model. Whatever you want, really.

If things get more complex on the backend first and you need more structure there, you can refactor the SQL (because it was probably really gross the first time you wrote those "dump everything" procs). If you end up with a really complicated data model, you may have to eat the performance hit and switch to Alchemy proper for maintainability. Either way, the choice is yours.

Sometimes the simple app is the one you need, and the biggest challenge is scaling quickly. That's easy too because the database handles transactions inside the procs. Run one instance of the app per core on your server and put them all behind nginx and repeat on as many machines as you need to cover your traffic needs behind HAProxy. Now you're maximizing multi-core performance per machine without having to write async/await code.

It's probably not for everyone, but I find it gives me an enormous amount of flexibility, scales well in every sense of the word, allows the app to develop organically, and has very few drawbacks.

We're living in strange days, and it's only gonna get weirder. NPR aired a pull your punches interview with a white supremacist today, the New York Times is publishing doublespeak missives from what increasingly appears to be either the useful idiots or willing collaborators of Russian intelligence services. It's like Trump malware has turned the mainstream media into a spam-serving botnet for a league of fascists.
There hasn't been a proof-of-life from Julian himself in some time, and there was recently insurance files released that didn't have matching hashes.

No hard evidence, but it is worrying, especially when there are so many parties that would benefit from wikileak's infiltration/de-legitimization.
"Sarah Harrison is a journalist and editor for WikiLeaks."
The sentiment seems to have switched ever since they released any democrats material. It's the result of the two party system, where "if this isn't helping my party it must be because you are against me" thinking trumps any logical thought.

I don't care for either color of political party, so I can appreciate cryptographically authenticated information leaks for what they are.
The linked article claims that WikiLeaks does "research, validate and contextualize the submissions we receive".

Of course, this process is conducted with an odd lack of transparency.
Sorry that my first post wasn't emphatic enough. The tools the team I'm a part of builds are used by real people (including other Googlers) fielding real telephone calls helping real customers through warranty and refund cases. None of it is automated for use without a human in the loop.

Everyone on the team I'm a part of recognizes the perception you've eloquently provided, and very much care to scale with humans in the loop.
> there's no such thing as too much transparency

Should military plans be transparent? Your private health records? Rape victims' names? Should the President be able to receive confidential advice - if not, they may receive much less good advice and make worse decisions.

EDIT: Reworded it to remove the hyperbole
Oh, sorry, I must have not been paying attention. I mean "supporting nationalism."
I wonder, where is Snowden now? What has he to say about it?
Has he ever spoken anything against the oppression done by the Russian govt?

We should be asking him tough questions, not just joining in praising him to be some sort of hero, who is cozying up with criminals in Kremlin.
The world may or may not need something that serves the same function as WikiLeaks, but it certainly does not need WikiLeaks specifically, not anymore.

I'm sick of Julian Assange. I don't think he's a rapist, but based on what I've read, he certainly is a self-aggrandizing opportunistic asshole.
> So they prefer to be unwitting pawns?

Yes, just as journalists often are when someone comes forward with a story or leaks information, etc.

By not making the sort of editorial decisions that would slant the meaning of the leaked data, WL stays above that. Other journalists are free to dig deeper and write full-scale investigative stories based on the data.
I've also read the self-destruct was for the encryption keys. The servers were taken but as everything was encrypted the destruction was of the aforementioned keys.
I Use the Science of Predicting the Rise and Fall of Societies
To be fair, they have a better track record than most media outlets. They don't trust the information at face value until, according to them at least, it has been verified. What that verification process is I have no idea, but so far it does appear to be working. I might just be out of the loop, though, so if that is the case what misinformation have they spread?
That is not true; it's a wild exaggeration, part of the misinformation campaign. Whatever we may think politically, we all can agree that we don't need more of that!
I see the same with dates. A lot of people seem to think they're stored as strings, not numbers.
Presumably to be able to track changes and undo them if a set of changes causes a problem? I was kinda skeptical. But I certainly wasn't blaming Microsoft, like he was, for his system being unstable. =P

And really, dnc-hacks.org. These aren't leaks from inside the organization and its whistleblowers. Wikileaks has been posting political voyeurism at the behest of a hacking organization. It's about as reputable as The Fappening celebrity nude photos being posted to 4chan "for transparency".
What's the break-even price for these new finds, i.e. how much does a barrel have to sell for for these deposits to be economical to exploit?

Luckily this find is where plenty of oil infrastructure already exists. Prolonged opposition to pipelines originating in Alberta and North Dakota have led to a marked increase in shipping oil by rail, taking more volatile product into populated towns.
> they should be embarrassed

I think the people who wrote some of those horrible and immature emails should be embarrassed.

Why must we respect authority figures when they (clearly) have not earned it. There were so many minor things in those emails that reveal just what kind of people seek power. Disgusting.
My point is that you're better off with a "bad" .com domain (bad really just means more than 10 characters long) than a "good" .weird domain.
I know with a lot of 'lounge' music that I listen to, its impossible to find a lot of the obscure albums. If they did print them, only a few thousand people would be in the market.

Outside of this, there are albums that I own that weren't ever released as a CD, MD, etc -- and I lack the hardware to make a good digital copy.
For making an irrelevant, overly paranoid comment?
you got me there
Choosing not to exercise judgement doesn't mean you stay above politics, it just means you're merely at the whim of it.
There have been many leaks about foreign countries. The US is a very dominant country and so of course there will be more leaked info.
So does hacker news support reverse discrimination against privilege or not today?

Assuming this is true of course.
I was actually thinking of Google at the time. Chrome OS devices, for example, wipe themselves if a system file is changed. The new Pixel needed an exploit to root it. Companies like Google (and yeah, Apple too to some degree) believe that you should only experience your own computer the way they intended it to be experienced.

Only in the short term, in the long term naked truth is more important than the political concerns of the moment.
I've never heard of them verifying the information. They said they didn't even know where it came from. I doubt the DNC helped verify the emails.

> what misinformation have they spread?

Russian intelligence provided them with the data. I think we can assume it wasn't the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

EDIT: You are correct that I can't prove that it's misinformation. However, that is a normal part of a sophisticated misinformation campaign - that its targets can't discern real info from misinfo. It doesn't make my assertion correct but the absence of proof hardly makes it unlikely.
Donna Brazile was booted from CNN for rigging the national debate. Multiple people had to resign from the DNC for sending political agitators to Trump rallies to provoke violent confrontations. Journalists across all of the mainstream media outlets were coordinating stories with the DNC and gave editorial control to the John Podesta.

Those are some seriously disturbing and undemocratic acts that We should all be appalled by. Do not let your partisanship distort your vision. The things that were exposed by Wikileaks are what destroys democracy.
"This fleet is meant to be mass-produced and built to last a much shorter time, 5-10 years at most. I am very interested in just how low can they drive the cost of making a single satellite."

One of the best points in the discussion. This has potential to produce side-effects more valuable than whatever they were attempting to do. As in, they can fail in their overall goal but a ton of great things would come from success in this part.
I have tried Australia... it's where I live ;)

~150ms is how much time it takes for my packets to travel the ocean from Australia to USA.

The UK in total is around 350ms (including lots of land routing). That's mostly due to non-optimal routing, it shouldn't be quite that slow.

Trump has been a public figure for far, far too long for there not to be 'EMAILS' equivalents. The fact that a large fraction of the time when wikileaks is discussed there is no visible questioning about why they haven't released about Trump tells me that something fucked up is going on. See this for an excellent summary [0].

Well, they could have released them all at once, rather in daily drips and drabs in an effort to make it look like there was more newsworthy information than there actually was.
I just read the news today about Russia's ban on Linkedin on the grounds of protecting its citizens' personal data. A similar law is about to pass in my country Ecuador which forbids personal data to be stored outside the national territory. We have presidential elections in 15 weeks and I suspect the goal of this law is to block social networks during elections (so far the only media outlets not controlled by the Revolution). Call me paranoic but on the last street protests I saw how ISPs blocked Twitter images and videos (I was logged in using my local broadband and also through RDP I logged in from a US-based VPS).

I do not aim to compete with Twitter but hopefully have a plan B ready. Obviously something descentralized would be better to avoid domain/IP blocks or DDOS (blockchain or webtorrent maybe?)
I recently bought a few Wikileaks T shirts. The US has lost its adversarial, investigative press. Wikileaks keeps that spirit alive and offers hope that one day our press will do a far better job at holding our officials accountable.
