Generally I don't respond to comments on hn, but I've created this account solely to respond to this.

The availability of hardcore porn to young adults is a genuine problem, there's isp level filtering but it doesn't work, part of the problem is image search, which embeds content into the page which means that it doesn't get picked up by the ISP's filter.

I think the situation could be greatly improved by not embedding explicit content into image searches and instead fetch explicit content from a separate cache which could be easily blocked by ISP level filtering. I'm no expert though, I suspect there's a performance penalty if you stop embedding the content, but maybe that would be a reasonable sacrifice.

As for protecting kids, I think we can agree that now that every kid has a smartphone with unfettered web access it's certainly more difficult to protect them from porn than it is to protect them from, say, alcohol where you generally need to prove your age etc.

I am by no means saying that state imposed filtering is an appropriate solution, but I'm not entirely certain what other effective solutions are available - it's a genuine problem.
I've enjoyed having no alternative for several years. Not being constantly tied to status updates from others is very freeing, I'd suggest trying that for a while.
I find usernames a lot easier to communicate than phone numbers, and they are cheaper to move to another phone provider. And don't require me to share my phone number, which is an extremely high priority channel, with everybody I might want to send a message to.

And if it is face2face, scanning a barcode like e.g. Threema supports is even quicker.
Oh, and the RS08 and 68HCxx are the modern 6809 offshoots, and they're still in production, but they're not quite the same as the 6809, and the 68HCxx's days may be numbered.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough - you need a phone for initial setup. After that, you can throw away the phone (or put it in airplane mode for a less permanent solution) and the Desktop client will keep working. In contrast, WhatsApp Web sends messages via your phone, so your phone needs to be on and connected to use it. Not so with Signal.

That said, registration independent of a phone number comes up a lot here. Signal is primarily a mobile messenger, so the assumption that its users have a smart phone running Android or iOS is a valid one imho. It would be nice if people without a smart phone could use it, too, but implementing this in a way that maintains Signal's ease of use for all participants isn't exactly trivial (contact discovery is a big one). I'd appreciate it, but I can also understand why it's not #1 on OWS' list of priorities.

I checked Gerrit before and like its philosophy of enforcing atomic commits and linear history, but I do not like its way of adding special change id in commit message and push to refs/for/master. That makes new users confusing and makes it difficult to follow. So I build a gerrit gatekeeper in GitPlex to enforce same rule in pull request, that is: when you need to update a pull request, you must amend your previous commit followed by a force push. No special change-id or the magic refs/for/master will be necessary.

> The most scary thing for me is that both political left and political right is nowadays for increasing surveillance

Right, because like many important but sparsely discussed issues this one doesn't fit into the left-right distinction. Unfortunately there are still many voters who like to compress the issues down to a single scalar value so they can place themselves on some easy-to-understand axis.

Break away from it. State involvement in economic policy is only one of many issues to consider when voting for a government.
It's dangerous and irresponsible to build services advertised as such to those you cannot provide the claimed protections to. When we build infrastructure with rotten foundations, people can die.

Can you elaborate please?

A simplest form (equivalent of basic auth, but secure) is mere "ssl_client_certificates file.pem; ssl_verify_client on;" or equivalent - one just have to tell "ask for certificate" and "here are my trusted issuers".

I guess, the only thing that's probably lacking is pluggable modules for popular web frameworks (issuing certs and matching them to users in DB).
> I find the fact that they are chrome apps...very annoying

That's my biggest issue with Signal as well. I very recently (as in, over the past two days) completely dropped Google from my life[1]. I switched from Gmail to FastMail for email, calendar, and contacts, and FastMail also offers 10GB of file storage at their middle tier, which is about five times as much space as I was using in Google Drive. I switched from Chrome/Chromium to Firefox, and I'm currently trying to decide which photo backup service to use to replace Google Photos. I'll probably run CollaboraOnline via a local Nextcloud server for a good Google Docs replacement. I'm using StartPage for search, as I find its results to be more relevant than DDG.

All of that said to say this: It's absolutely refreshing to break out of the Google tar pit, and I'm very interested in a secure messaging app that doesn't depend on them at all. Being free from 24/7/365 tracking, no matter if it's "just for advertising purposes", is a breath of fresh air, as is knowing that all my eggs are spread out among several baskets now.

[1] I do still have an Android phone (Nexus 6) but I switched from the official Google ROM to the latest stable Cyanogenmod, and opted to not install the Google apps bundle. My battery life has gone from about 30 hours between charges to nearly 70 hours (as predicted by the battery meter; I haven't had to charge it since I installed CM on Monday night and I'm at 81% as of Wednesday morning). I've been using F-Droid for some great replacements for many of my everyday apps, and the Amazon App Store for a few necessities like Paypal and Fing. As on the desktop, I'm using Firefox on the phone mostly for the syncing capability, though I will say the built-in browser on CM is fantastic. Of course, I'm actively seeking a non-Android, non-Apple alternative for a mobile phone, and right now the DragonBox Pyra is a front-runner, with the Neo900 a close second.
Your advice here probably applies more to beginner programmers where the goal is to prevent them from just copying/pasting code and following bad practices. It's a good thing for them to learn to write things from scratch. I've been programming for a while and I've felt for a long time like my skills kind of plateaued. Writing things from scratch and reading a lot about design principles haven't really helped me improve at all. But lately I've started to read code, really read it to understand what it does and this has vastly improved my skills.

> There is a finite amount you can learn by reading other people's code. You might find specific idioms you admire and adopt, but you will not - and probably should not - try to conform to other developers' methods

From my own experience I disagree with this since reading other people's code has helped me improve a lot. I've noticed that I am so much more creative and intuitive about good software design when I go to write code now and I believe it is credit to reading code everyday
> So although the government is a real threat to citizens privacy

That's not privacy which is under threat any more. Say you visit a website of random content in January. Website goes out of business, someone else buys the domain and puts flagged content on it in September.

Now... how do you prove you were visiting a different site? Trigger an archive.org call on each and every site I visit? Dig up domain name changes? I've been dealing with DNS for 10+ years and I have no idea how to dig up historical domain owners, especially not with the hide options.

This goes way, way beyond privacy issues.

Not only are donations significantly less reliable than other methods, they tend to basically amount to nothing compared to other income.

At least at the "single dev" level, I don't think I've gotten more than $20 in my lifetime through donations, whereas making a previously free app paid netted me a few thousand.

People just don't pay for stuff they don't need to, and to be honest I don't blame them.
You might, but we are talking about broad circle of ordinary people here, most of whom spend considerable time on Facebook and will not leave it unless you give them a very good reason (privacy concerns, ethical reasons won't fly here, trust me) to do that or offer an attractive alternative.

To make you censor yourself so they don't have to. Same deal with the porn one. There was a piece by Alec Muffet not so long ago discussing the consultation process for age verification. All those involved knew that the headline group (teenagers) the law was supposed to protect were by far the most likely to circumvent the measures, so any such system is essentially not fit for its stated purpose.

Even if the intent is to play well with the authoritarian and/or socially conservative portions of the electorate, the effect will still be self censorship.

My SO and I both have to undergo enhanced disclosure and barring service checks on a regular basis for our jobs, one of which is in education. The UK Department of Education just effectively prevented Milo from speaking at his old school 'because extremism'. So how should I be feeling right now about following links from Reddit or other forums discussing US electoral politics that might lead to Breitbart? What if there's another situation like Sad Puppies vs the Hugos and I'm trying to get a picture of what's going on and I click on a link to find a Vox Day equivalent? Did I just endanger one of our prospects for future employment? Hard to say. Will using a VPN service get us tagged as 'something to hide' and affect our eligibility to work with children and vulnerable adults? Don't know. Worth betting someone's career on?

If your certificates aren't stored in the clear (either passphrase secured or on a physical token), then you can solve the public machine problem and logging out. The next user has to know your passphrase or use it within a narrow time window (if the cert is on the system and not on a physical token).

Logging in with a different account or role is handled by the browser asking which cert you want to use.

I know this is a US-based site, but as July 1st 2016 the eIDAS Regulation has come into force in all EU member states, creating a legal structure for electronic identification, signatures, seals, and documents throughout the EU. Adobe for instance supports EU Trusted Lists: https://blogs.adobe.com/documentcloud/eu-trusted-list-now-av...

In many EU countries getting citizen certificates is getting more usual in order to deal with government paperwork (taxes, forms, healthcare, subsidies, etc.) so now that an unified trust structure exists, maybe it can boost adoption also by browsers and websites.

Edit: here's an official FAQ on eIDAS. It explicitly mentions website authentication and browsers. https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/questions...

The cases have literally nothing to do with each other. That Cecilia Kang has authored falsehoods about both changes nothing about the facts of either.

> but my conclusion from the parts that I saw was that it's still extremely unlikely that Podesta is involved in pedophilia, and quite unlikely that any of the other named parties close to him are either.

It's easy to just scratch the surface and conclude that there's nothing to see here.

> I think the most likely explanation is that the supposed points of evidence are misunderstandings due to massive cultural differences. In particular, I think the correlation between all the points of evidence you raise and the actual behavior of pedophiles is very low, and the conjunction of 100 such points is still overwhelmed by one's prior beliefs.

Except that the pedophile ring theory explains every single data point perfectly. Your theory doesn't explain anything.

Concerning historical domain data, there are several vendors (e.g. Domaintools) that provide this kind of information, and domain registrar information usually contains the registration date for the domain, so proving it was a different site is possible.

You're absolutely right though that it's highly problematic if we use automated tools to analyze this kind of data, as many people can end up in the wrong category due to either flawed analysis methods or faulty data.

Again I'd say that currently the greater threat comes from private companies that will use this data to build "shady" rating systems which will affect the daily lives of many people, without giving these people a chance to verify or oppose the data being used against them.

> The availability of hardcore porn to young adults is a genuine problem

It is? Teens are going to be interested in sex - porn is probably the safest way for them to explore that. Yes, clearly porn is a fantasy and has issues to do with expectation, but the answer to that is to educate them more, not try to keep them ignorant.

This kind of thing is a lazy and stupid attempt to do something no one will go against, because if you say anything about it, you can be smeared for being pro-porn and anti-child, regardless of the truth.

The point is that XSLT is deeply stuck in the "Turing Tarpet": "Beware of the Turing tar-pit in which everything is possible but nothing of interest is easy." -Alan Perlis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_tarpit

You would never want to write a JPEG decoder in XSLT, but the fact that it might be possible if you were willing to bend over backwards, write unmaintainable code that runs incredibly slowly and requires colossal amounts of memory, misses the point.

For getting real work done in the real world, where big companies have mountains of data to process, and are required to pay real money for electrical power and computing equipment, Microsoft decided to add the ability to call JavaScript, Visual Basic, and other scripts from XSLT templates.

Because it's just too hard to get anything of interest done in XSLT, and it's trivial and convenient in JavaScript, and there's probably already a library to do it.

I wasn't aware that Google or Facebook were required services. You can easily make the choice to use a different email or search provider, and can opt-out of social media. On the other hand, I am not aware of a way in which I can similarly opt-out of what the government of my country does, or even being forced to pay for what they're doing.

There are concerns that I have about the level with which some of these companies cooperate with state actors, especially when we're unaware of it. When these companies become partners of government in secret, the state security apparatus is accordingly expanded in ways that do threaten us.

I like it. In fact I have a project in mind for which I might use it next year.

I think your pricing model might need a bit of work though. I think you're offering too much in the free tier (particularly given that I can run a free community with unlimited entries but have to pay $94/month for 50000 on the other plan), and pricing per registered community user might be worth looking into.

Other than that I'll definitely come back in the new year when I'm ready to give it a try.
