As wila pointed out in this thread, Freenom has been connected to cybersquatting [1].
Operating a widely used DNS server might allow them to register commonly mistyped domains (?). Not sure whether this is indeed sensible.

The problem with (b) is that when I empower or support somebody in one context, they receive a platform in which to influence people in other contexts. As an example, a famous actor will have some degree of media reach in which to push their political views, support of a charity, or whatever else.

Especially when I support someone monetarily, they are able to spend that money on things that I find abhorrent, and use that money to buy influence, even if I'm supporting them because of a product or piece of art. I think I'd be ethically liable if I knowingly gave a significant chunk of money to somebody who I knew would later use it to influence people towards harming others.
Yes! This is the most exciting feature for me.

That was, to be honest, the biggest issue I had with Hillary Clinton and why I couldn't vote for her. (FWIW, my vote for neither major party affected nobody, my state's electoral votes are locked.)

She basically stated she wanted to continue Obama's legacy and... in retrospect, Obama's legacy sucks. I voted for him twice, and I almost wish I hadn't. Countries we weren't ever even at war with have children who have now grown up to fear the sound of an American drone. (As a note, I have no issue with use of drones themselves, I have issue with how we use them. Like assassinations without due process.)
Freenom appears to be the company managing the (in)famous "free" ccTLD .tk

If you're serious about security, every computer outside your control should be considered compromised, regardless of what you think about the owning company.

With Signal, I have an E2E connection where if I trust both clients, I can trust the connection. WhatsApp, however, has client code that will essentially reveal any unsent messages to the server on request. And then you just have to trust this compromised computer with any message you send.
Also, no USP above the fold? Kind of important. "Loves the web" tells me nothing.

Not only have I never heard of this, it doesn't make any sense to me.

Unless you will be starting a new job in two weeks, why would you forgo 26 weeks of 50% of your income in exchange for 4-6 weeks of 100%. The math just doesn't work.
Your comment nailed it. Real democracy is a process involving many techniques and hard work. What you describe is how all types of corruption were ended and civil rights gained. People didn't just sit at home voting for a candidate promising, for example, blacks, women, or unionizing workers that they'd make it all better. They had to get off their ass to work at it themselves every day sometimes for years.

The faux-participation model devolved in recent election to shout stuff on online, shout stuff at TV, shout at people listening, and cast vote for one of two scumbags. The real work that got people elected was done by a combination of campaign donors, campaign workers/volunteers, media people, marketing experts, and recently hackers. This collectively filtered the election into a small number of scumbags that voting people chose from. People wanting someone better must get into the groups I listed to help someone better get into that list and stay on it despite smear campaigns. Or use the tactics you mention after election process does what it nearly always does.
There is no such thing as anonymous DNS resolution unless we use Tor to perform resolution for all applications.
Keep in mind that 2.5 is the lower estimate. It will likely do more on average.
Hardly. When I worked there WWDC at Apple was like lunchtime in Italy: everything shuts down with an audible clank as everybody floods conference rooms to watch the presentations.
Well the first attribute can at least be measured independently.

I'm not sure your living in the same reality as everyone else.
With many other providers I can make deductions about likely threat scenarios. For example I know about both my ISP and about Google that it is in their best interest to serve me correct DNS entries: they have no obvious motive to do otherwise. On the other hand I can be fairly certain that my DNS queries will be fed into Google's database if I use their DNS: they have an obvious motive, have the capability and no obvious disincentive. Etc.

With some new, unknown service with unknown associations I can't reason much about the threat model.
The glass half full metaphor doesn't apply, it's about deciding the overall balance of a situation. This is different, it's about recognizing both the good and bad aspects of a situation. They're equally important and it's not about deciding between them. Being honest about both, right now, not a year from now, tells me what I need to adjust in my life so I make the best decision about what to do next.

When things are difficult is the most important time to be starting to build and have access to robust coping skills. Otherwise, when would you?

It's rare in life to get honest and blunt feedback about mistakes and you can either take the opportunity or ignore it. Building up criticism or rejection as such scary things that they have to be faced with denial is just another way of giving them too much weight and letting them control you.

Storage is really a non-issue. You can get enough space for 10 AAA-quality games (presumably 25GB each) for $80: http://amzn.to/2iPJOja (Ironically, it's a Sony product...)

And an even more conservative tripling of storage (64GB card) only sets you back about $20: http://amzn.to/2jfrROp

But I still buy the vast majority of my games on physical media, mainly because that's the only way to get a good discount. Until there's the option to be price-competitive via 3rd-party sellers, I'm not buying into any on-device game store at all.
I've felt like that for a long time, and I think Obama is partially to blame for Trump getting elected.

When he made the compromise he did with Hilary during his first election I knew then he was going to be a political creature (and I was behind him).

I don't think Obama will be noteworthy in history outside of being the first black president. Obamacare will not be noteworthy either unless it transforms into something more meaningful.

If you think about it, the praise he gets so often is that he's a "classy guy", that should say something. 8 years in office and him being classy is the thing people think of most when considering him?

Oh! I looked a bit and found https://github.com/JuliaComputing/llvm-cbe, with its last commit a month ago.
Why would you assume that wii u titles would work? The switch only takes cartridges, virtual console titles are already tied to the console and don't even carry between wiiu systems, and the switch uses an nvidia tegra (arm) architecture where as the wiiu uses powerpc and an AMD graphics chip.

Not even the wiiu controllers will work with the switch.
That's a pretty bad reaction, and also highlights the absence of good cross platform development in your studio, because of lack of common tools. You should release your games for Linux for a change.

But this also highlights, that pragmatic value of cross platform tools is apparent when they are really cross platform. I.e. the wider is their availability, the higher is their value. OpenGL didn't quite reach that, because of opposition from lock-in minded companies. So this is a welcome change in Nintendo's approach, because it advances Vulkan as a cross platform API.
To your point about online discussions, it's made worse by most websites getting rid of usernames, and replacing them with your real name.

Or worse even, they use a Facebook discussion plugin, so whatever you say is attached to your Facebook account.
This looks like a very feasible approach, I didn't realize you could lock scrolling for side-by-side buffers. That's really awesome. I'll have to give this a try

Reasons aside, the fact remains that when a group of white-hat hackers says they "won't bother" with a given target, it doesn't speak well to that target's security. There are no-doubt tons of exploits in Firefox still waiting to be found, as there are in Chrome, Opera, Edge, etc. Given that the Tor Browser is built on top of Firefox, it's a huge loss for everyone that Firefox is not being included in the attacks; the vulnerabilities that the white-hats find would be reported and promptly plugged, rather than left open for nefarious three-letter agencies to exploit.
This is a good point. Is there just a global variable? allowCameraAccess = false;
I'll be happy when "disingenuous" week is over on HN.
Actually, this is the best answer here. This is basically exactly what shrooms do to the brain.
I must be an outlier here because I prefer reading online sources to books. And for anything in book format I prefer audiobooks. I'm not sure why this is the case for me because I use to read many books as a kid and teenager. The access to the Internet gives me more options for different kinds of information (where else can you get access to the rough draft of a research paper if you're not a researcher or college student?) which I think is why I prefer reading online sources. Books are often my second option when the information I'm looking for is hard to come by (aka old).

Unfortunately, in the USA, if you ask the question directly, you will get a surprising amount of people who support our current government surveillance: 42% in this 2015 Pew poll. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/05/29/what-america...

An interesting add-on to this is to poll about how one feels about Edward Snowden. The result is that the majority view him negatively. (http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/04/21/edward-snowde... and http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/edward-snowden-rasmussen-po...)

So unfortunately there is a pretty significant group of people that are okay with increased surveillance.

Note that from what I see, this divide doesn't appear to be traditional US liberal/conservative. In fact, if anything, the divide carries more of a generational rift, where older people are more okay with surveillance than younger people are. (The USA Today poll on Snowden mentions this, and there is also this: http://www.people-press.org/2013/07/26/few-see-adequate-limi...)

For those concerned with digital privacy and rights, I guess the question would be how to counter this narrative of fear that from my viewpoint drives these sort of opinions.

This is not what the article assets, but here goes a different theory: as the pace of automation increases, new job types appear for a moment, then disappear. Each new job type requires a special expertise, but the amount of time required to gain that expertise is large relative to the job type's duration. Only the most desperately unemployed try for those jobs. It's better than nothing.
Same here. 118ms vs 29ms (average round trip time).
Of course secrecy is not the sole reason he left. Swift was developed 100% in secrecy for the first 3 years of its life, and even after that, Chris was able to navigate the open-sourcing culture shifts required of Apple to make that a reality, no small feat.

Though boring and lazy, it's extremely popular for the hivemind to take aim at the throne. Note it's why any article critical of Apple (or every damn blogger's tbMBP/macOS -> Linux article) goes immediately to the HN frontpage, while interesting technical discussion re: Apple products or news showing they're still the market leader remains barely discussed.
Considering that later in the same sentence, he says, "Mosaic (a program written at the Andreessen Center for Supercomputing Champagne", I'm going to say dry humor.

Apple made a mistake choking off iOS safari they're screwing up like MS did in 1999, they're I'm the same position now as MS was when Jobs came back. They're turning iOS into a second rate system by refusing to implement many html5 APIs like webrtc. Similar to the browser wars in 99, the original iPhone had the best mobile browser of its time but in 10 years they've lost that edge.

It's a step in right direction, but would certainly feel safer if in addition to cookies/storage/geolocation permissions, Firefox allowed to whitelist JavaScript on certain domains out of box, with no need to resort to NoScript. Using NoScript results in two different whitelist mechanisms with completely different UI which breaks the browsing experience.

Ironically, as far as "privacy-oriented browsers" go, Chrome has domain whitelisting of Cookies/JS/Plugins easily accessible from address bar and it works as expected.
It's a beta, be nice :)

More seriously, you make some good points (you forgot the "I thought the page loaded already scrolled down"), and we have spend more time on the app itself than the website, we will work on some improvements very soon.
I believe Dragon Quest XI is also for 3DS. They've announced DQXI localization for both 3DS and PS4, but during the switch presentation said that DQXI and DQX would be Japanese only so far. Dragon Quest Warriors I and II will be localized for the Switch, however. At least there's no region locking!
For ease of typing. Typically you have to enter passwords verbatim - typically passwords need to be entered without error, blindly. 16 characters is easier to get right that 60.

And while it might feel good to pretend full words add entropy, if you assume the attacker knows your system - it really doesn't (hence "guaranteed" entropy).

As for diceware, I don't find those passwords easy to remember - especially past 60 bits of entropy. But use what works for you.
Yeah, I think a lot of people have been concerned with this ever since 9/11 and the big expansions of power that seemed to go with it.

I completely agree with you that there is no party affiliation with this, and to me that is the most concerning part.

As a temporary fix, (and I emphasize, this is not a solution) the answer might be to have a 'pen name' or 'pen personality' . mini-msft is the classical example in our industry.

If Jessica were to venture a 'twistable' opinion, sure there will be a huge uproar, because of her association with YC. If this is published under a fake persona,Jess McFake, someone who can be identified only by a body of writing, then it is hard to bring these prejudices, and even if it is "twisted" who cares?

I do this to some extent by having multiple online personas, none of which have my real name associated with this, one for each 'community' I participate in,(not true for HN, fwiw) and I find this very useful and liberating, and I'm nobody. I'd be surprised if 'celebrities' don't do something like this already.

Of course if you are as rich as (and so untouchable) as, say, Peter Thiel, you can just go ahead and express what you want wherever you want and don't give a damn if you are misinterpreted and/or out of synch with particular orthodoxies, but for the rest of us, this might work as a temporary fix.

FF you first start by looking at their long guide for version control/build instructions http://mozilla-version-control-tools.readthedocs.io/en/lates...

Then you make a custom mozconfig file to disable or enable features, or to add your own extensions (ie: windows): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_g...

ac_add_options --disable-activex
ac_add_options --disable-activex-scripting
ac_add_options --disable-installer
ac_add_options --disable-crashreporter

You can further abstract this with a mozconfig wrapper https://github.com/ahal/mozconfigwrapper

But I agree, I can't find any documentation what exactly every feature is and why you would not want to disable/enable them. The Chromium build process is much more straight forward, or you could just use 3rd party sandbox and regular release FF.

How exactly is that a principle? He wasn't forced to listen to the ads, he was able to pay to have ads removed.

His principle was that he found the ad unpleasant and didn't want to hear it anymore.

I'm all for fighting for what you believe is right but it's a bit exaggerated when you're aren't forced to use the service, can pay for the service to remove ads and yet you claim to stand on principle.

If you were standing on principle, you would refuse to use Pandora because they are funded by an "unsavory" company and not just call to say you didn't like the ads playing on the free service that they're providing to you.

Elaborate? I have dozens of freenom domains (not just .tk, but also the other free TLDs like .ga et al.). I don't use them for critical (or commercial) services, but I've never had any issues - they are free after all.

DotTK and now Freenom have been great enablers for many smaller hobby sites. Get free webspace from bplaced, domain from freenom and CDN from CloudFlare and you have a pretty decent, ad-free infrastructure for a quick-and-dirty web project. A scratchpad solution basically.

Anyhow, that doesn't change the fact that the above DNS is still way too slow to be useful in the first place, at least from here.

IIRC YC had a bet in the subscription social network space for "family social networks." That has obvious problems with the growth model, similar to but different from Path which had an arbitrary limit on individuals' number of "true friends."

I used this for a few years, and loved it -- it's my favorite of all the tiling window managers I've tried, for conceptual simplicity, extensibility, and ease of use. It was dog-slow, though, and often couldn't keep up with my commands. I switched to i3 (and sway when I'm feeling adventurous) and have enjoyed that. Making window splits still isn't as brain-dead simple as it was in StumpWM, though. Maybe I'll try the new release and see if it goes any faster.
