CTO of an adventure experience start up here. Wanted to share my thoughts.

The adventures are curated specifically by Airbnb it looks like. They are mostly urban adventures so it doesn't cater to the adventure type. Overall the app is great. Little Netflix but it's nice.

The major issue with this and what we've seen is real adventures are really hard to get. Most of the outfitters have trust issues with technology because they have been burned by the 50 other companies that tried to do this but were sketchy. Gaining that trust is key and why they did this under Airbnb name is going to hurt them.

Exciting validation for us and a welcome competitor but you can't throw money at adventure market (climbing, skiing, fishing, diving, etc) and expect to gain traction. Takes connections, trust and a show of commitment to the industry.
I understand the frustration of journalists from news organisations completely. They are held to a high standard, having to fact check every detail and get hell for being wrong (which naturally occurs). Along come people who simply invent facts, and nobody seems to care. And: putting everything into the perspective of a big media conspiracy doesn't help the public discourse at all.

What was your biggest difficulty/hurdle in this project? How did you solve that problem?
Given that there's not only software bugs, but the hardware ones, I wonder how secure it would be. I personally hate their software, but still, it would be nice to know.

P.S. Security without open-sourcing is impossible. Although, dunno how for other countries, but here in Russia some people have a different point of view.

Some people believe that “opensource is insecure by design, because everyone can see the code”. Probably Kaspersky has the same point.
Correct! Kaspersky has just placed a MASSIVE TARGET on his back.

Understandably, investors do want catchy stories and media buzz... :)
If they can pull this off it would be amazing because the technical challenges to meet this goal are pretty considerable if you've ever tried satellite internet in the past it was the worst thing ever. If he can pull this off just the technical feat alone would be pretty amazing given the challenges involved.

Angela Merkel does not have a Twitter account and you probably know her. You only get official news from the spokesman @RegSprecher. She does not write personally on any social media.
That's a very good point. I love seeing how many people on HN assume that, if everyone had access to the knowledge they have, everyone would vote D. Which isn't true and which is precisely the reason why R won. Furthermore, Pew Research has shown a lead of 9 points for D in college-educated population, which isn't very impressive given the dominance of liberalism at colleges.

Overall, it's a hard problem.

20 Things You Must Learn Before Writing Your First React App
Nice thoughts!
My suspicion is that most attempts to create a better OS for IoT will fail for political reasons. AFIAKT, one really important characteristic of Linux (and JavaScript also) for large tech companies is that they can control their own stacks, without having to license tech from another corporation, but still have the benefit of network effects. Samsung have Tizen, Google have ChromeOS etc. etc.

At the component level, Linux also empowers the chip vendors to build what they want on their own timescales and then address a large market. Even open Linux drivers are sometimes loaders for proprietary firmware, so they aren't really giving up the ability to ship code in a black box.

I don't see any of them willingly cooperating with a company that wants to manage and deliver the whole OS from the the kernel up. TLDR: The industry probably does not want a Microsoft for IoT.
That's the feeling I got as well. The answers were really dodgy too. But such an ethically challenged practice would reflect poorly on the WordPress brand and you wouldn't want your low level employees to know about it since they could easily leak it. So maybe the CS reps weren't dodgy so much as trying to keep customers happy with very little information available to them.

Maybe one way you could do it is create a tiny subsidiary to manage the reservations/registration. The subsidiary can be created under the pretenses of shielding the parent company from legal liability so you can both limit the team size, the scope of their purpose and isolate them from the parent company.

Build the backend to provide information on reservations but accessible only to subsidiary financial management/officers and parent company employees whose wealth is tied to the success of shares in the company. Officially only share the total number of reservations and financials with the parent company via something documented like email. Then the backend reporting is decoupled from the reservations that come in for early access. If you setup a distinct founder program and establish enough time between the reservation announcement and when you give normal employees early access you don't even have to worry about your employees snatching up the most profitable ones.

The first the CS reps hear about it is when a reply/complaint comes in from one of the cancellations. When asked their supervisor only knows that the name came over as one of the early access reservations from the parent company. The CS reps don't have enough information to draw conclusions because they don't get access to numbers and an early access employee program provides plausible deniability if the reps start asking questions.

That was kind of a fun mental exercise. I've seen some real cloak and dagger stuff from people but those were always at small companies. I have no idea how plausible any of that would be, especially in companies this big. But it would be interesting to see what would happen if we had a fairly unique but uninteresting domain that wasn't obviously gibberish and a a lot of us put in a reservation for it at random intervals to create a perception of interest and popularity.
Having the Economist, NY Times and WP reporting according to a certain liberal, free market bias is bad. But, in a world of post-truth, not having them at all would be worse. For me, there is still a difference between bias and not caring about the facts at all.

It's a shame they don't determine that the domain was squatted before your trademark existed. But it seems in their interest to give the benefit of the doubt to the one buying many, many domains yearly.
"Even in long-established democracies like Germany, Spain and Italy, false news reports and hate speech on social media have whipped up grass-roots populist movements, which have often targeted the recent influx of Middle Eastern refugees, to garner wider electoral support."

I'm from Spain and I haven't seen such a thing.

To be precise: in Spain the movement that is typically called "populist" by the establishment is Podemos, which by the way is pro-refugees, and fake news have been widely disseminated (originating in conventional media, although being distributed in social media too) to discredit them. In fact they have won several lawsuits in the courts against newspapers that published absolutely made up news about supposed illegal funding, etc. (but who cares about the lawsuits and meager compensations they get, once the information has been publicized, the damage is done). I haven't seen any "pro-populist" fake news circulating around, though. The establishment parties have so many open corruption scandals that there is no need of any fake to discredit them.

As always, journalists make up whatever they need to go on with their "good vs. evil" narrative where everything the establishment doesn't like is "populist". And then the blame is on social networks...

No. Even if wireshark listened to the entire key-exchange, it would not be able to reconstruct the key, that's the whole point of a key exchange. The client generates some secret part, the server generates some secret part, they both do math to their secret parts to get some stuff they can exchange safely. After they've exchanged the stuff, both can combine the public stuff with their own secret parts to generate the same key. If you just saw the public stuff exchanged in between, but didn't have access to one of the secret parts, you couldn't (feasibly) reconstruct the key.

As for acting as a MITM, Wireshark would have the same problem as anybody else in between the server and client: it doesn't have a valid certificate. Chrome would throw up a big scary warning and make it almost impossible to use the site.

> The difference is, when real scientists say they know, they will tell you p-values and usually they can reliably predict things. And when they don't know something, they usually say so.

In that case, social scientists are real scientists. I don't think you've been reading social science. Social science papers in some disciplines are often filled with so many p-values that they come out of your nose. In fact, I think you have a grudge against something that you have no idea what it really is.

> Contrast that with loud aggressive types who will call someone racist and demand that we agree unequivocally, because they know better. That is, until someone higher in their pecking order comes up with even more ridiculous redefinition of dictionary words.

Again, I think you're ranting against windmills here, but I don't know how you decide how ridiculous definitions are. Scientists change definitions rather regularly as they learn more about the subject. Are you studying society? What qualifies you to judge academic definitions of academic terms? The fact that energy has been a "dictionary word" centuries before physicists have "redefined" it does not make their definition ridiculous.

Academics don't demand that you agree to call someone racist. They have a very clear definition of racism, and they tell you when something matches that definition. Your agreement is irrelevant. Choosing to use a different definition is your prerogative, but it is also irrelevant.
> Creating/changing Linux files from Windows will likely result in data corruption and/or damage your Linux environment requiring you to uninstall & reinstall your distro!

It's funny, that this is so Windows-centered advice (regarding the "uninstall & reinstall"). Fixing things in Windows very often boils down to "just do the reinstall".
In Linux you have lots of other tools and methods to recover from such disaster.
I totally agree with this. Let's see how it works out!
I thought about this a lot recently. Expecting people to spontaneously more skeptical and analytical is unrealistic. Non-shit mass media is something we desperately need these days, but it's not the only solution.

We have tools to make producing and consuming information easy for an average person. It's pretty clear that we also need tools that augment our ability to analyze information. The key, I think, is to ignore the immediate issues with politics and think in higher order terms of knowledge acquisition. Douglas Engelbart talked about such things in the past and Alan Kay with Bret Victor talk about them right now.

Personally, I imagine the following. Custom search bots that we control. Networks that allow users to ask questions, rather than just read and write self-contained posts. Tools for rapid modeling, record-keeping and statistical analysis.

For example, being able to plot Twitter activity and connections in an easy fashion would likely reveal a lot of paid shills and bots. But it's really hard to do right now. You need to mess around with bad APIs, complex software and the data is often unavailable in the first place. But it doesn't have to be this way. (Publishing was way more complicated and we made it trivial.)

I've been wondering, would one reach the same principle if one would pin the root folder of wikipedia on their own server using IPFS and then if wikipedia would point their domainname to the ipfs.io gateway with a hash for that folder, would Wikipedia auto update on my server and would IPFS provide the load balancing/p2p part?

Or am I understanding IPFS or the ipfs.io gateway wrong? Does everything go through the ipfs.io server in that case? Or is it still distributed/torrent-like?
This deserves to be top comment. Most accurate insight in the "fake news" debate. Thank you.
>The free flow of information is incredibly important and has introduced a new age of information for the planet.

"Information" pressuposes that the data item can be distinguished from BS astroturfing.

It doesn't have to be true or valid or even coherent. But if it's not an actual person's opinion but just propaganda pretending to be real persons, then it's not information anymore.
if theyre review comments that need action then it sounds strange that it was approved? I guess for minor things that happens, most often we'd just ping the person that made the comment even if they already gave a lgtm.

we discussed that someone could make major changes after approval which gets around the technical limitation of merging, and the answer we all agreed on was if we cant trust the author to know when to get re-approval then there was a bigger issue at play.

> I think he said that because he was parroting what administration officials have continually shouted.

I think he knew exactly what he was doing. Moreover, even if we take your point that he was just thinking of those with clearance, he was still wrong because his exact quote was "... It is different from the media. So everything you learn about this, you are learning from us. ". Would you say then that those with from the government told him to tell people to listen to CNN for classified material so they can be entrapped?. It doesn't make any sense. The only thing that makes sense is it was a blatant lie because they didn't want people to read what it is in the emails. As much as I try to see it the point of view of "caring for those who hold clearance" I just don't see it...

Moreover, Wikileaks presents materials it is given. To date I don't think it has altered a single email provable fake. Nobody raised their hand and pointed to an email not written by them with their name on it. It sure editorializes material by choosing what to release. But it is what it is. I'd trust it more than CNN for example.

> Second, I think the over-classification of material harms national security.

Yap. Strongly agree with that.

> They sure as hell didn't stop the OPM breach or countless other breaches

That was such a monumental failure, and so embarrassing. I am surprised that not more has been talked about it (but also not surprised too).

> he intentionally leaked or ordered the leak of the identity of Valeri Plame. Cheney is a fscking malevolent sociopath

I believe that too.

> Second, however secure her personal server, I'd be shocked if her server was substantively less secure than whatever the State Department was using.

They are not efficient, and have lots of red tape and such, but they are not all dummies. I think she would have avoided embarrassment if she did keep it there. She sabotaged herself in choosing to go the other route. I think not only Russians accessed it any state actor with even a mediocre attack team would have been stupid not to try to access it. It as a big red target for everyone to see basically.

> That other people have been punished for the same thing Hillary did is beside the point

That is not besides the point. A lot of people in this country believe in fairness (for better or for worse). Special treatment for the politicians is exactly why many voted against her.
Duterte and Philippines were mentioned in the article. Yes that is true that there were many fake news in facebook during election and until now. In fact, there are sponsored FB pages posting fake and exagerated news about Duterte now. Aside from facebook we also have mainstream media that are publishing unverified or poorly written news all the time namely ABS-CBN, Inquirer and Rappler. These medias are owned by Liberal Party supporters. New York Times gets their news from these presstitutes all the time. I know because I've read several news/articles from NYT that were just pure BS.

Up to this day our news here are manipulated by Liberal Party -- they are the people that runs and plundered the Philippines after the martial law in 1986. Yes they are the same people that lost all the perks of corruption and drugs when Duterte was elected and would want to do anything to impeach him.

So what's your country's excuse of having fake news?
No word on if this is FLOSS or not in the article so I'm assuming it'll be something closed. Which essentially renders the entire exercise moot form my POV.
I also don't like how they mentioned Linux. They make it sound as if

(a) Linux is very insecure...I'm no expert but I'd like to see them prove their system is more secure than a Linux distro dedicated to security.

(b) Linux is the only viable option. There's plenty of other operating systems, some even focus on security (starting with the list of existing microkernels).

I agree with your key points, but I'm a bit skeptical about this:

> If you don't have enough motivation, then providing access to Internet, is not going to make a difference.

I'd argue that because the barrier to entry is smaller, you need less motivation to learn about things. Going to libraries, scanning huge books for the few pieces of information you want is much more effort than looking it up online.

I'm not doubting that the internet might only make a small percentage change in the people willing to do it though.
