With SSL/TLS that is only "domain validated" that's a problem with any registrar, whether it's a commercial $11/year certificate or a free one from LE. There is very little that you need to prove to get an SSL cert with domain validation, all that you need is control over the domain registrar nameserver records so that you can point the ns1, ns2, ns3 etc records at nameservers you fully control. You only need to prove that you can insert an arbitrary TXT record in the DNS records for the domain (thereby proving you "control" it). Or host a small text file on an httpd that answers on an IP where domainnname.com's A record maps to that IP. There is no other proof of entity status or control required.

I could go out right now and register super-happy-funtime-googleplaystoreverification.com, set the ns1 and ns2 for it to a couple of bind9 servers that I control, make a zonefile, and point the A record for the hostname at an IP that I control (a throwaway $2/mo VPS) and get a DV validated SSL cert.

This is why things like EV SSL certs were invented.

Any person with a prepaid visa card from walmart, a $3/mo hosting package and a little bit of knowledge can get an SSL cert that is DV only.
The Space Shuttle was fundamentally flawed because NASA compromised with DoD to get it funded. Had NASA been fully funded for space exploration alone they would have made better choices.
Unlikely, the GSA product is also discontinued. This is a push to a google cloud alternative i would guess.
It is, but it requires the sender to encrypt the message for every one of the recipients devices.

What isn't encrypted is iCloud backups, which are what provide the ability to scroll backup on new devices.
Agreed. Conversations and status updates are about what's going on now, aren't they? After two weeks, delete 'em. Keep a backup on your PC at home.

Same for hosted email.

The software with a human-usable UI (automated backups, viewable in a useful client) for all this doesn't yet exist, but it could.
Just to be clear: selective enforcement is the law of the land. Has been since before IIRIRA passed-- and enforcement was looser, not tighter, before then. So when you say you respect the law, that's the law and I'd expect you to either respect it or say plainly that you don't and why.

Regarding the Minutemen-- a gentle reminder that regardless of whether a person is illegally in this country or not it is a felony to "point your gun right dead at them, right between the eyes", as Chris Davis publicly advocated for during the Minutemen's heyday. And of course, there's Shawna Forde, the leader of Minutemen American Defense. She's an individual so law-abiding that she has her own entry on murderpedia. And the cofounder of the original Minuteman project was later charged with three counts of child molestation including his own daughter, and is currently serving a nearly 20 year sentence resulting from those charges. Then there's the allegations of influence peddling and fraud that have embroiled the organization in litigation against another founder, Jim Gilchrist... and the fact that Simcox cofounded another related Minuteman project with Jason Ready, a known member of the American Nazi party who received a BCD from the Marines, was believed by the FBI to have been involved in the execution of at least two suspected illegal immigrants, and finally wrapped things up with a 4-on-1 murder-suicide a few years ago. Seriously law abiding folks, there-- and just as another reminder that's the leadership. That's who these supposedly lawful folks decided to follow. Those are the people whose acts you compare the civil infractions of illegal immigrants to.

You know what? I'll take the illegal immigrants, thanks.
Coincidentally, I recently discovered that code I landed in the mozilla repo a couple of weeks ago crashes gdb when it tries to demangle (and c++filt on the command line). Looks to be infinite recursion. It's still in the current Nightly binary.

Edit: just before somebody starts whining about it, I ain't got no problems with NET on its own, but the barrier to proficiency in it from a functional universe is needlessly high, and if F# had a stronger core it would be something non NET programmers could pick up along the way rather than continuously bash their heads into while doing rather menial work.

I don't want to sound whiny either but it's such a punch in the gut when someone sees me struggling with basic FP stuff in F#, just because I guess I'm so proud of what I've learned about FP in other languages.

There's also some stuff that F# is missing, but it hasn't screwed me yet because I still haven't figured out enough about all the NET classes.
How can i go on validating a B2B business Idea?What ways available out there?
I google the phrase, there are lots of articals out there, i have gone through some of these, some are suggesting, surveys, launch page and lot of philliosophy and motivation, but i want to understand the practical fundamental approch. what most people do ?

Should i go out there talking business? if yes how should i approch them? Should i start with sending cold e-mails and stalking in linkedin? or should i start building the MVP first than talk to people out there? Someone help me to get a clear understanding of this process. Thank You.

PS - This is my first question in YC community. Hope i will get some good advise.
I think it's very naive to think you can solve this through politics. No political party will solve this issue for you. A minority care, an even smaller minority understand.

Thinking you can change a rigged, corrupt system? You've already lost. This is 100% a case where the state needs to be thwarted through technical means.
Those have been expressed for a long time. Some are getting more popular (white supremacist stuff) and some are coming from different people (saying America kills people and has no moral high ground was usually a leftist thing) but I don't see anything being said that outright couldn't before.

To me the best advantage is that by following links, the client doesn't have to builds those links in the first place.

So the client will keep working even if a few months from now you want to change the link to something else. A simple example: if retrieving articles can be done by requesting this link "/articles", I can potentially change it in the future to "/v2/articles" and the client would still work.

That's not really true; just ask the ancient Romans. When the Roman Empire collapsed, technology took 1000 years to get back to what they had. That's a bit more than a "temporary pause".

Cupertino is not "the middle of nowhere." And 12 story buildings are a terrible idea in an earthquake zone with soft ground.

The amount of space we use for office parks is tiny in comparison with the amount of space we use for agriculture. Only 3% of the land used in the US is urban sprawl-- less than the total acreage of a single crop, alfalfa hay. https://www.westernwatersheds.org/watmess/watmess_2002/2002h...

Of course, Cupertino's public transportation sucks. But so does San Francisco's, even though it's tiny. Maybe stop bragging about where you live, and find something else to be a snob about.

Well then lets do the Summer Olympics in Greece, and the Winter Olympics in St. Petersburg.
But that's besides the point. We are thousands of years in the future from that point, with thousands of years of technological advancements. What would a civilization relatively recently after the loss of that knowledge do? Could they even do it?

The point is that technology can be lost. Sure, we may have re-learned the technology in the intervening millennia, but we wouldn't have to re-learn it if it wasn't lost in the first place.
Yes it does. Or at a minimum, the ability to set time horizons on things like Facebook groups.

Sounds like the same issue I had with Clojure and Scala. As soon as you touch anything Java or mutable, it's like WTF?

Come to the Elixir/Erlang camp; our functional turtles go all the way down! The only jarring thing is having to write to a mutable database. They even borrowed the |> operator! And it has great pattern matching of course.
The simplest solution would be simply to not to travel to the US. I'm sure it wouldn't be long before the airlines & hotels were lobbying for a change in the law.
Android Fragments and Activity Communication

I definitely do these things constantly in the hopes of finding something that will make me happy, but after almost 10 years and nothing really to show for it, it can cause someone to go insane.
They look you up before you arrive and find out what your real account it.
I've been thinking of this.

I don't want to take my digital possessions through customs if they can request access or deny me.

I don't want a burner that is subpar and I can't afford another phone with great camera etc.

So, I can see two options:

A virtualbox/dualboot where you run two OSes of your devices with full encryption - and one is a dumb/fake install with no personal data that you enable when traveling. It doesn't login to your mail or your facebook and doesn't have your real contacts, photos, passwords on it. You can do this trivially (still for the technically savvy) for a laptop, probably for an android it is not too hard with a custom bootloader. If you were more paranoid, you could create 'dumb' social media accounts, but that starts being time consuming.

Second option is you make an encrypted snapshot of your system before travel. Then you reset / wipe your system before traveling, and then reload the snapshot once you are through customs. This could be done more securely by not actually taking the snapshot on physical media across borders, but storing on a server and downloading once you are through customs. The downside of this is you need data access during travel.

As an aside, I am curious how they would react to someone like me who has no social media accounts. Do I need a fake one to make me look 'real'?
Caching with RxJs Observables in Angular
> Citation needed.

What kind of citation? This request is a little bit of a stretch. The majority of people on Earth identify as followers of abrahamic religions. Bunch of them accept the ideas of love, compassion and empathy as a foundation of their religions. You see where the reasoning goes from there.

> That isn't my belief system, hence the disagreement. Do I have to stand up for what you think is right?

Moral relativism really won't help you here. From everything you've written it is very unlikely that you are a consistent speciesist.

As I've said before, you were brought up through convenience, you didn't choose your values, but you interpret them as choice. It is equivalent to people growing up when slavery was acceptable. Even hundreds of years after the war there was still a huge bunch accepting discrimination as a right thing to do.

You are also avoiding the subject.

You are mentioning greater good, last resort methods etc. etc. Eagles aren't last resort, meat every day in your plate, drinking another mammals milk isn't last resort or greater good, raising 60 billions of animals every year, cutting rainforests for soybeans and corn, emitting huge amounts of CO2 and methane for the sake of steak isn't greater good.

I'm not really sure which straw you are reaching for? If you do not care about global warming, about animals (including human animal), if you really do not care, then yes, you are consistent speciesist but that is very unlikely.

Most of the conversations I had people did admit they discriminate because it is convenient and if only this other choice was more convenient they'd do it. They put themselves first. They also saw the hypocrisy and inconsistency of their actions.

Eagles being used for drones, dogs eaten in China, all stem from the speciesism that is indoctrinated through all pillars of growing up.
I would rather pay more to get an OrangePI, NanoPI or even better, pay a lot more and get an Odroid C2. The RPi Zero is nothing more than a marketing gimmick.

> this entire subthread is entertaining the notion that a true libertarian society would have no government capable of using force against the citizenry.

Libertarianism in simple terms means emphasis on individualism and removing state from public welfare, education etc. These are the defining characterstics.

In all varitions of libertarianism except ancap, there is a government. It enforces a minimal constitution. Govt employs people such as police to enfoce it. Police are granted liberties that noone else have. Govt will be funded, most likely, with a flat amount "tax" per head.

> If the "police" here are hired as a private contractor, who is hiring them? the government ? (then you have government coercion).

Why its not coercion ? Because everyone explicitly consent to the constitution/govt. A democracy can only transition to libertarianism if 100% votes yes. Or secede.
Orbital and such are doing great things, but Faraday appears to be a bunch of scammers with no product. Maybe they'll prove me wrong, but until they demonstrate that they have something, I don't see what's wrong with criticizing them.
Multiple accounts can be quite usable if you get the separation right. Separate uids for personal emails/banking and porn browsing should be a given, at least.
Well, as an alternative look at North Korea. Just like there are various levels of good governments, there can be good levels of anarchy. Somalia isn't a great example to use here. Furthermore, it has a government, so why would libertarians flock there? What's wrong with having a principle of nonaggression? Why is that worthy of ridicule?

I'll also add, your "debate style" is very counter-productive. Even if you loath a belief, the worst thing you can do to change that person's mind is insult them and call their views "la-la land".

Corrections aside, it is an interesting observation that Firefly is less outlandish with this discovery (not a criticism, Firefly is optimized for fun, not scientific plausibility). Still, assuming light speed travel, Firefly's inhabited planets are still a heck of a lot closer, since the crew doesn't seem to noticeably age between the half dozen or so star systems that they visit, and don't appear to have any kind of tech to reversibly[1] halt their metabolisms.

[1] the reversibility it the hard part. Tech for halting metabolic processes irreversibly has been around for quite some time ;)

after nearly burning out on the last ~42 hour job, at the current company i tried 30 hours and i love it. they do want to convince me to go full time, but for now i refused (stating that i don't think i'd be as productive and just cost the company more money without delivering another 33% of work). a lot of my colleagues and even friends at other companies downgraded to 30 hours (or never upgraded after finishing university).

i earn enough to get by but don't save as much as others at my age (for reference, i'm 35). i work 6 hours a day, 5 days a week (others work 7.5 hours a day and just take friday off). i don't get paid overtime but be do have comp time.

the upsides, in my opinion:

* i'm better rested, more concentrated and productive so the company gets more bang for the buck

* i spend a lot of my free time in the gym (this hopefully means i'm reasonably healthy which would be a plus for the company due to less sick time off)

* the rest of my free time i spend programming interesting private non-commercial projects; i.e. free education and experience that benefits my employer (sometimes it also leads to open source libraries we can use at work)

* the other rest of my free time i spend reading about IT (things like HN), which, again, +experience

* when schedules get tight i tend to accumulate overtime, as soon as that passes i tend to take time off. this means the company doesn't have to pay me for twiddling my thumbs and waiting for the clock

in my opinion it's mostly a win-win situation for both me and my employer.
