Show HN: Meet Baasic – More Than a Back End
Sure, here's a correction: There has been no evidence of havoc or repo corruption in git.

It appears that to even try to attack git you'd need to spend the same amount of work again ($110K or what it was) to create a new collision with the right git object headers.
Oh, I have goals. I want to get a gf again.

What six primary fears? You're talking about something like I'm supposed to be aware of it. I googled it and different websites have different ones.

I don't really fear anything. Maybe I should?
How to stop Hackers from stealing your information on public Wi-Fi
I think the hypocrisy reaches its climax when Mr Trump talks about fighting the fake news, yet uses a story from Fox News as his source in one of his speeches.

He makes our (Swedens) prime minister look like a pro.
While the pattern is obvious, it's also easily explained. It's easier for foreigners (particularly those from outside the EU) to flee the country and thus be sought by Interpol.

> Wait, why can't you block spammers as fast as they are created?

They can literally compromise new machines faster than you can identify existing compromised machines. It doesn't do anything to impose anything on the machine owner -- as soon as you identify the machine you can blacklist it, and as soon as you blacklist it they stop using that one.

The problem is in the time it takes you to identify a compromised machine, they can compromise many more additional machines.

Sorry, just fixed the type and added the email address.
Correct, and this is linked to organized crime. A small group that have gotten hold of lots of weapons. It's a problem, but it's a problem caused by a few - which means, it should be possible to solve it with the right approach and sufficient police resources - which is the big issue at the moment.
Ask HN: If startups are good gamble, why isn't seed capital easily available?
Background:

* Seed is a gamble, but the return on one unicorn makes the losses on others vanish
* People with money are always looking for bets to invest on, same with companies with extra cash
* As a failed entrepreneur and software engineer it is easy for me to get a good job

Problem:

* I can not sell just an idea well enough, I am not a good salesman
* Moonlighting is hard
* I can not finish an MVP along with day job
* Without a seed, I am really finding it hard to work full time on my idea

Companies are happy to hire me (usually with 6 months probation) and see if they get ROI on their money (my salary). It would be a lot more motivating for myself if I could work on something I want to solve. Sure just software does not sell itself, but we all have to start somewhere.

So if I am worth someone else's money to try on their company and perhaps be not worth it, then it should be easier for me to just apply and get a 6 months paycheck to work on something I am intrinsically motivated about, right?
I saw several small fashion startups pop up in the bay area after Nasty Gal got big revenue numbers. They all were obsessively trying to replicate them and chase after their success (even to the point of copying Amoruso's way of writing and NG's edgy image). I have a feeling we'll see a few less copycats now.

In unrelated news, Nasty Gal seems to be running a 70% off everything sale right now to dump inventory.
They removed a repo because it was named "X for retards" instead of "X for dummies". All of the FORKS of that repo got nuked without notice. This is because the notice went to the original owner of the repo, not the owners of the forks.
I don't get it. Do they expect that smart people will work and pay huge taxes and the rest can just stay home and receive money for doing nothing? Working people can just move abroad and avoid paying those taxes.
Swedens prime minister is in fact a professional (he is getting paid for what he does). But when it comes to "pro" in the sense of "knowing what they are doing", Trump makes everybody look like a pro, compared to himself.
Comparison of Virtual Reality sales with early smartphone growth
Or lies about immediate economic collapse followed by WW3?

Both sides engaged in hyperbole but no amount of rhetoric would change what people saw around them with their own eyes. Some saw a thriving metropolis that benefited massively from the EU; others saw factory towns decimated by the switch in trade away from the Commonwealth and towards the EU. It just so happens there were more of the latter than the former.
Americans pointing fingers at Sweden is bizarre in light of any actual data because Sweden is a very successful society in terms of economy, crime rate etc. ("Sure, we have a beam in our eye, but did you hear what happened last night to the guy with the mote in his eye...")

I get the impression that Sweden is a favorite target of the alt-right because it's a formerly homogenous white and culturally monolithic country, the kind that white nationalists see as an ideal. Now that Sweden has a major refugee population, they await its impending collapse (despite any economic evidence so far).
A fair counterargument, and I would agree with you in an overall sense.

That being said, it is pretty clear from reading that a significant portion of the stoics did fall for that particular fallacy to one degree or another.
The Supreme Court doesn't feel that the Tenth Amendment is real, so clearly there's some truth to it. There are powers NOT enumerated in the Constitution that the federal government legislated into existence.

I think my representation was accurate and the sections you quoted rather support that.

So some women felt like they got assigned sucky roles in group projects. But so what? Men get assigned sucky roles in group projects too. Every group project has that problem: some roles will be perceived as more desirable than others. There was an assumption there that the girls "sentenced" (gosh, what emotive language) to some other role simply because they were girls, and not because they were simply less pushy personalities in general. But no evidence is provided either way - they never asked the men why they did that, or if they even perceived the women as upset. Maybe an assertive woman would have steamrollered shy men in the group, I've seen that happen. Sexism is asserted as the cause and, as is always the case, that lazy assumption passes unchallenged.

In another case, the women were complimented on their appearance by a man, something that happens in every work environment and every job around the world. This is related to gender ratios in programming specifically, how?

The last quote - I'm not even sure how that's related to sexism. It appears to show a man enjoying the studies.

I guess if women perceive things like the internet as not "contributing to society" that would be one of the non-sexism related problems women cause themselves. OK, sure, if they believe that, that'd explain some of the gender disparity, but again - so what? Lots of men believe the opposite. If true, it's a self-imposed handicap that women can discard anytime they like. Besides, I'd much rather work with people who believe their work has a higher purpose than people who are simply ambitious!
It is better to compare the murder rate in Malmö to that in Copenhagen, the 'city across the bridge' in Denmark, as both used to share the same "Scandinavian" culture. For those who do not know, Copenhagen is about three times the size of Malmö, the two cities are connected together by a bridge over the 'Öresund' (called the 'Öresund bridge'). Copenhagen has a much lower crime rate than Malmö and - related - a much lower murder rate. The numbers are [1 - Swedish article]:

City Murder rate

Malmö 3.4
Paris 1.8
London 1.3
Copenhagen 1.1
Berlin 1.0

The comparison with Chicago is clearly off, but that goes for more or less all of Europe. The highest murder rate in Europe is to be found in Tirana, the capital of Albania, with 6.7 murders per 100.000. The highest in the world seems to be found in Caracas, Venezuela, at 120 murders per 100.000.

So Malmö is no Chicago and Europe is no United States of America. But, also, Malmö is no Scandinavia.

From my personal experience, that's the thing that really drains me most and I gather it's a well-known cause of stress (i.e. lack of autonomy). Might be an area you want to reflect on more. I've quit a company in the past for this reason.
Why We Love to Anthropomorphize Physics
Part of the arrogance of the current providers of non-cash support is their foreign, detached judgement that hospitals or schools are the best ways to help people.

Intention preservation.

Convergence, they get from the blockchain. So everyone eventually reaches the same content. But that content may delete a whole paragraph you just wrote, or duplicate it, or do any number of monstrous things, while your wifi was flaky.

Make this test: open a document in two tabs, write "my test", go offline, write "is done" at the end in one, and delete "my" in the other, go online, wait for synchronization. You may see: "my test is donetestmy test i". Intention not preserved. (Just to be clear: this isn't just a problem for offline; network latency is dangerous.)

So local changes (not yet sent to others) are rebased with an OT-style algorithm, although a seemingly faulty one. (OT is brutal to implement.) But it gets worse:

> If a Patch is rooted in a previous state of the document which is not the Authoritative Document, the patch is stored in case it might be part of a fork of the patch-chain which proves longer than the chain which the engine currently is aware of.

A blockchain is a type of Merkle tree. When the tree has two children, only the longest chain matters. So, you lose your work if someone forks the chain you were on and makes a ton of edits.

Admittedly, you wouldn't give edit access to an untrusted party anyway. But that merely makes the security guarantees of the blockchain irrelevant!

Reaching convergence is easy: you simply need total order. Use a Lamport timestamp and encrypt patches with your private key, and you get the same guarantees for a fraction of the cost and complexity of chainpad.

If you want intention preservation too, there has been great efforts in OT to ensure the operations you make are applied in their intended way, so no deletion or duplication of content. (CRDT actually gets it for free, along with peer-to-peer, lucky them.) End-to-end encryption is not incompatible with either OT or CRDT; just encrypt your patches locally, and others can decrypt them with your public key. (It's probably much, much easier to implement with CRDT though, just because peer-to-peer OT is not trivial.)

(Having read this, it probably comes across as more aggressive than planned. I am actually fairly impressed by chainpad: it is a fun and ambitious project. But I wouldn't trust it with data I don't want to lose.)

It's like MSN Messenger or AOL, except that the identities of people on it are guaranteed, and things said on it are effectively contracts. Reuters operate a similar system. There are others too but no-one uses them.

This sort of post comes up in every HN discussion of feminism or sexism in programming: someone says "just listen to women" followed by "this entire discussion is embarrassing".

I virtually never downvote on this site, but I did in your case because you're simply trying to make an entire area of discussion taboo, by writing off any views you disagree with as "embarrassing" and a "trainwreck". This is the school of thought that gave the world Trump; telling people their own experiences are wrong and that if they disagree they're just horrible people.

My experience of tech hiring, as someone who has been a tech interviewer hundreds of times, is that discrimination in favour of women is rampant. Invariably recruiters and HR would claim it wasn't illegal as the final decision was unbiased, and there was certainly a lot of truth to that, but they did everything they could to give women a push along the way. Scheduling the most experienced interviewers to women (so reducing the chance of hiring mistakes), systematically allowing women onto the next interview stage even if they failed the previous stages, setting up massive scholarship programmes closed to boys etc. And of course the difficulty in firing women.

I don't need to listen to women to know about these things - I've seen it with my own eyes. It's driven by attitudes like Rob Pike's and eventually it hurts both men and women.

Robert Mercer: the big data billionaire waging war on mainstream media
search on yt for : "Simon Sinek on Millennials in the Workplace"
Some very interesting thoughts; I've been thinking them myself for some time. With regard to the limitations of terminals (rich media, typography, whitespace), these are limitations of current terminal emulators but are not an intrinsic limitation.

I've often wondered about the history of the terminal emulators we use. From xterm and onward, they have all emulated a basic DEC VT-100. A historical accident, or inertia? The VT-100 wasn't very sophisticated, and most emulators don't even emulate it fully. There were much more featureful terminals succeeding it, with colour and graphics, yet we didn't add support for them. What caused this whole aspect of computing to become stuck in the late 1970s? There are also specifications like ECMA-48 which standardise control for font and size/spacing/justification and a number of layout features, colour selection and much more. It also defines separate data and presentation layers. Mostly unimplemented except for a minimal number implemented by xterm. Some emulators have also implemented rudimentary graphics, wider colour selection, unicode support and mouse reporting, but nothing truly ground breaking.

It strikes me that what's really missing here is the development of a new class of terminal emulator which implements a much more advanced presentation layer. For example a full PS/PDF-style drawing model, and/or OpenGL-style graphics facilities. Combined with an extended set of control codes to manipulate the data layer, you could effectively have a browser rendering engine and DOM equivalent in terminal form. Which could be driven by any language capable of using stdin/stdout, from a shell script to Python and C++. No reason it couldn't be xterm compatible either; there's lots of ways to extend the control code space, and we already have termcap/info to add support for new functionality.
I appreciate your great feedback. I barely had any influence when writing it, but all I knew was that I wanted to be able to write HTML and CSS -- and help my visitors with learning the basics, without having to even sign up for an account. All HTML is allowed though iframes seem to be so/so -- sometimes they work, sometimes not.

There is certain Javascript that is allowed, but others I've had to disallow. The way I've been able to allow it and monitor it is through BBCode. Basically writing [script src=myjsfile.js][/script] or something like [script]alert('hey there');[/script] is how you can get Javascript on a post but it does go through a filter beforehand to scan for any potential harmful code. Trying to write javascript the original way doesn't usually work.

At one point, I had Javascript as a main feature in the Advanced Options section, but I've since removed it, as I saw its potential use for abuse. As more and more users are using it from around the world, it's kind of interesting to see the clever "hack codes" people come up with. For the most part, I've mostly filtered out all "dangerous" code, but it still arises occasionally as the Internet evolves and more people are clever.

Mainly with the hacks I've seen: people using it to redirect directly to their own spammy websites. People creating divs that block MyPost but show a message on top and you can't do anything but go to the person's website or link. I've been able to filter these types of codes and prevent them from being entered into a post. The thing with Javascript though, there are dozens of ways to write the same code.

I even had to build my own captcha as people learned how to automate the creation of mass-posts. Some Russian guy emailed me (it was in Russian, but the translator basically told me he was pissed off because I added the captcha), but I knew it was him who created about 2000 posts in less than an hour. They then learned how to somehow bypass the Google Recaptcha and so I ended up building my own, which fortunately, at the moment, has successfully stopped bots from being able to automatically post thousands of posts at a time.

I'd rather people use it for its true purpose: getting webpages up on the Internet in seconds; learning how easy it is to code, etc. than to have hundreds of thousands of "spam" posts on the website. So those have been my battles since creating it: fighting bots and fighting people who are coming up with clever ways to "hack it".
