Not your app (since you didn't post a link) but I see many websites on Show HN missing basic information like the company address, contact person, phone number. Often it's only a hello@companyname.com, domain registered with privacy protection and obvious stock photos, sometimes fake-looking testimonials.

Number 7 on Show HN right now: https://realideas.site/, I personally wouldn't register since the only contact is an email address

https://toortl.com/about is only slightly better with links to the linkedin profiles of the founders. It is a company? Is it registered/incorporated? Do they have an office? Why no copyright notice/terms-of-serivce/privacy notice. I assume it's a hobby project.

On my own project (https://geocoder.opencagedata.com/) the footer lists tax and company registration numbers. I hope that makes us a little more trustworthly towards companies (B2B). In reality we've never received a letter other than tax related stuff.
Well, but there is something fundamentally and essentially special about conscious minds. A universe that is complete unperceived is, first of all, harder to even imagine than it first appears and, second, would be neither boring nor interesting, since both of those words, and all other assessments, only have meaning within the context of conscious perception. So I would affirm the presumption that "life", in the sense of the existence of conscious minds, is non-boring and universes devoid of life are either boring, or inconceivable.

> You obviously have no clue how GPL works.

I disagree.

> Everything is explained very well on the agreement page.

Yes, it's very clear that they're attempting to subvert the GPL by coercing customers into not exercising their freedom to redistribute (section 3, first sentence). I can't find it now (all I could find is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11808914) but there was a thread about this issue earlier this year.

Essentially, in some people's view grsecurity is acting in bad faith which means that they are violating the GPL (not the license text itself, but the copyright law surrounding license agreements).
I don't understand how this question is relevant:

"Once intelligence has evolved and observed the Universe with a single first thought, why didn't it then die out?"

What proof, line of reasoning, logical principle, or evidence do you have to believe that a single first thought would lead to anything dying out? What makes you think there is some underlying Anthropic Principle at work in the universe?

Saying something could be at work is more or less saying "God did it". It doesn't explain or illuminate anything.
I am not a web development guy, so this question might seem ridiculous: To me, it always seems that there are a lot of hazards in any web development project, security-wise: A number of attacks, be it injections, XSS, etc. When seeing a new web development framework, I always ask myself: Are the basic security concerns known today addressed? How can I make sure that choosing cool web framework in language X doesn't lead me to an unsafe webapp? Perhaps somebody with more knowledge in web development could chime in here and help me; I would really appreciate that.

How to Do Speech Recognition with Deep Learning
Black and white.
I'm a big fan of this approach. Idiomatic Go often means doing things in an explicit manner. Consider how error checking works, for example.

I've tried a few of the Go web frameworks and it feels like they often add a lot of indirection. It's appropriate for Python or Ruby, but it feels out of place in Go. Yes you might cut out a little repetitious code but DRY doesn't seem to be a key pillar of the Go language
Yes, though there is an important difference between the multiverse approach and the multi-star/multi-year approach. When we imagine the state of affairs in which many universes are created with random parameters, we tend to give those many universes great variety, and we require each one of them (in our imaginations) to be "fruitful" at least in producing a universe. But it's not clear that the mere presence of lots of years (as many as you like) or stars (as many as you like) are fruitful in the same way. To put it back in terms of Joe the die roller, it's as if Joe wakes up most mornings and just lies in bed all day, not rolling the die. Occasionally—one day in a billion—he rolls the die, and it's a trillion-sided die, say. But I suppose the point is the same: the Anthropic principle says that however unlikely conscious minds are, if they do appear (at whatever odds), then... well I'm not sure where to go from there. Then these minds will ask questions about their existence? But that doesn't seem a very remarkable insight.
Yes. Yet some applications even have different connectivity models for different modules. Reality is as usual is not that black and white. Truism of course but still.

Go is not anywhere near Java in terms of robustness or GC. This is something admitted by the Go team lead himself at google. Go has a long way to go. meanwhile Java is introducing some really smart features for Java 9. I don't see Go would ever replace Java but it may find its roof as a tool used for operations and deployment.
Playing with HoloLens
Most, if not all, languages that work on the server side eventually develop a "minimalist" "web framework" in reaction to the "bloat" of some popular fully-feature one. Particularly coordinated languages even eventually develop a barebones server backend that allows you to potentially even plug them together, like Python's WSGI.

Generally these frameworks are met with general acclamation on HN. (Followed by a lot of replies generally defending the larger frameworks, which then devolve into a couple of threads about how hard it is to pack resources together, the importance of a "blessed" ORM, and the security implications of requiring people to assemble their own security stack for things like CSRF, etc.)

Are they less worthy if they're simply built into the language from day one? A lot of recent languages are taking such a tack, after all.

Is this a new wiki page? I've seen bits and pieces here and there in the net/http docs but nothing nearly as extensive.

I think the stdlib is awesome, but the biggest gripe I have with the standard net/http library would be the multiplexer (ServeMux). Out of the box if you provide it with a handle like /foo but the user making a request adds a trailing slash (e.g. GET /foo/), it returns a 404, compared to other libraries like julienschmidt/httprouter which will handle cases like this for you.

For example: https://play.golang.org/p/Q96EulBUfI

Other than that I think the stdlib is bang-on for simple http servers. Wouldn't recommend it if you're planning on writing a web server backed by a database, however. Compared to other web frameworks like django, the stdlib is a great library for working at a lower level in the stack, whereas Django is more of a content-oriented framework built around higher level concepts like basic CRUD applications.
I agree with you: there's a lot of value in talking to non-customers, too. Sometimes that's easy because we know a lot of potential customers for a startup, and sometimes it's hard because a startup is operating in a fairly obscure field.

This is basically Niacinamide/Nicotinamide, a form of Vitamin B3. I understand that this vitamin helps keep the inflammatory oils from being released (edit: from storage). Niacin causes a flush; Niacinamide doesn't have this effect.

It was a snotty thing to say. Even making the judgment that a another person is incapable of enjoying the happiness of others is a really judgmental and overall shitty sentiment. It's doubtful the person you are responding to would have the intimate information needed to make that assessment, further people are ever evolving for the most part. Just a shitty thought all around.
I've once built a system (an outliner app) that actually encodes intent, and uses a command queue ("transaction queue").

Intent could be for example to insert this new item as a first child of that other one, or to move these items to a position right before some other item, or to set font size on this item to 4.

The data structure was a tree of item objects linked via next/prev/children/parent. Automatic conflict resolution works wonderfully in this case.
How often does the mainstream conservative media go out of its way to debunk the idiocy on the right? The guy that started the "news" that people are using welfare money to by weed was actually trying to pull a prank on the right and see who would fall for it. Not only was there an uproar on the right. Fox News even reporter it.

The myth that vaccines lead to autism is repeatedly debunked by the mainstream media and they report all of the time about places where diseases on the rise because of anti-vaxxers

And while I use to think that nothing getting done in America without the support of big business was a bug. I'm starting to think it's a feature. For instance, once big business broke away from the religious right on issues like gay rights, the "moral majority" didn't have a say in the matter.

I expect the same thing to happen when it comes to immigration, trade, and the demonizing of "other". Trump supporters may have the numbers but they don't have the money.
The US government withdrew all bills over $100, but over a very long period of time. The bills were last printed in 1945, and have been withdrawn (destroyed when handed into banks) since 1969. They are still legal tender.

With FileVault, the disk won't decrypt until the user enters their login password.

Here's Yubico's documentation on Filevault integration: https://www.yubico.com/support/knowledge-base/categories/art...

It seems an attacker with physical access still requires your password to unlock the disk. At that point, they'd need the Yubikey to login (assuming they haven't already decrypted the disk and taken your data).

Someone on Reddit suggested saving a static password to the Yubikey and then entering that at boot time to get around this: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskNetsec/comments/3dpa2q/how_do_yo...?

I think the parent comment is mistaken. I've always heard this used as referring to exchanges of roughly equivalent things- whereas, "an eye for an eye" leans negative, "tit for tat" is neither negative or positive. To me it simply suggests the idea of a balanced exchange.

EDIT: The dictionary, and the historical roots of the term, seem to agree with the parent though. Maybe I'm just an optimist and never noticed the underlying connotation of violence.
Azure VM Pricing – Saving thousands annually by choosing regions better
All wealth is inherited. Are you proposing each person is cast out and begins again in cave man form with nothing but the unowned land to start with? Everything you have, knowledge, money, inventions, cultivated land, food, your body etc, were created and passed down (inherited) from a prior generation.

Also this idea penalizes someone who's parents died when they were born, who would have paid for every opportunity until they were of age, now they have nothing. Meanwhile those who have parents or some other caretaker to pay for and facilitate all kinds of experiences thrive.

If you really think that's the case, then please stop using all the things you've inherited from prior generations (i.e. turn off your computer, electricity, plumbing, clothing you wear, food grown by others, streets built before you).

And one thing i've noticed is that "native devs" are extremely condescending.

I hear a LOT about how writing an application for the web is wrong (especially on HN), but not much about why it's a good idea. I see comments about how native is faster, "less bloated", portable, "better designed", offline, and more secure. But never any comments on how long they take to install, how difficult it is to use them across multiple devices, how you need to either use an app-store, bundle your own updater (which follows all the best security practices), or rely on a distro to get around to including it for you. I never read discussions on how they tend to be larger, they have more access to the underlying system by default, how they are more difficult to secure, or how if you use the one application across multiple platforms you need to learn multiple UIs.

And while none of that is true across the board, it's stuff you need to spend more time on to get right, whereas you tend to get it "for free" when targeting the web. Obviously things go the other way for some features. Getting high performance out of a web app takes more work, getting "high security" to work in a browser is much more difficult, getting offline takes some consideration (IMO it's not that difficult today, but it does still take work).

It might come across as defensive, but I can't bring up anything web-related on this site without being asked why I didn't make it native, or why I'm using javascript at all, or why I decided to use the web when there are "perfectly good UI toolkits for native app development" while hand waving away all the benefits and reasoning behind my decisions as either pointless or just by saying "you can do that with native too" without going into the mountain of work necessary to get it right. And in that comment I indulged that anger which I don't normally do on this site.

XPS Developer Edition “Bloatware”
Hello, I recently had the chance to use a Dell XPS Developer Edition - gr8 m@chine

However, a few things about the expserience left me saying "hm"

For example - Firefox did not come pre-installed - but Chrome and Chromium were.

Additionally, Ubuntu Software Center did not come pre-installed - a special edition called Ubuntu Software was installed instead - that pushed Transmission as it's marquee app (and was otherwise faulty).

Have we really come full circle here? Is this old news? Has any one seen something similar?

There's a number of issues to be solved, but that doesn't mean we should throw our hands up and say it's too hard.

Even our concept that the brain "controls" things is just our own projection of things. Think about it, you get hit hard in the leg, so the leg releases chemicals that trigger a bunch of repsonses, perhaps using the brain as the intermediary point of communication, but to say the brain "controls it", is just one way to look at it. The brain was really told what to do by the leg, or maybe the nerves, or the blood. There is no system in nature that has centralized control, all systems with "central authority" are really just a projection of human conditioning.

For example, even in government, how exactly is centralized control maintained? Its a bunch of distributed interactions that cause people to go out and take actions that result in overall changes, but there isn't a "government" per se that is like a giant telepathic mind controlling anyone's actions, its just millions of interactions of people choosing what to do (some soldiers, some merchants, some politicians), flowing in all directions.

I actually keep my FDE password separate just because I use such a long password it's not practical to type every time my screen locks. The GUI doesn't expose it, but you can encrypt your root volume independent of your user account directly with a "diskutil cs encryptVolume" command. There's a great writeup of it here: https://www.westhoffswelt.de/blog/2014/9/9/osx-full-disk-enc...

I think a physical token for the user account is still good for times when one I'm just away from the desk for a bit, a physical key is better than a short password that someone could probably shoulder surf me typing 50 times a day anyway.

There seems to be some info on using the Yubikey with FDE on their site, it's worth a look but indeed, I'm not sure there's anything that they could do there beyond effectively storing said really long password anyway.
