> I wasn't allowed to cook dinner for a female friend - not romantic - in my free time

Who said that you aren't allowed to cook dinner for someone in the UK? Maybe your friend didn't want that but it's certainly not typical for the UK.

There was a climate crisis in 2008-2009?
Most of those countries that would grandstand in front of the public and say they would sign a climate change agreement are full of it!!! If they won't step up and pay their fair share in NATO obligations to defend their own people, how are you going to trust them to abide by some little climate change agreement??? It's a bad deal! Trump was right. It's just another way to get America to pay for most of it! Bravo Zulu Trump!

> There's robust evidence of biomedical anomalies in CFS patients -- far more than enough for CFS to be considered a legitimate medical syndrome and not a psychiatric/psychological/"somatic" syndrome.

You make many good points, but this billious bit of hateful bollocks discredits the cause. It's far too common to hear CFS activists claiming "my illness is real, it's not in my head". It's hateful, it's beyond fucking stupid, and it needs to stop.

You dismiss entirely the severity and biological causes of illnesses like psychosis or bipolar. You dismiss entirely the debilitating nature of psychological illness such as OCD.

In 2010 psychiatric, neurologic, and substance misuse disorders were the leading cause of YLDs, and were over 10% of DALYs. (And the MH component was over 56%.

Why is the post flaggeg, then?
I saw a very interesting talk last year from someone who, as part of a company's security team, had set up a system that continually attacked the hashes of every employee's Active Directory passwords. If one was cracked, the employee would receive an automated email with a note containing the last few characters of their password and a suggestion to change it.

I recall they also spoke on some security aspects of the system's design, like how the cracked passwords never touched disk and had to be destroyed as soon as possible, etc.

I wish I could find a recording or a writeup on this somewhere, as I thought it was a pretty cool (and effective) approach.
Their terrible popovers (namely the Dunkin Donuts one) break scrolling on the page and make viewing the content impossible. Well done.
Can I complain about popular iceberg imagery? Most of the depictions of icebergs (1) that show them underwater are completely fake and like the "dead butterfly" post here recently aren't even remotely plausible. They're always shown as tall and skinny, but that's ridiculous, they'd be unstable. I've read that the classic picture is actually composited from two above-water shots, one flipped upside down and blue tinted to look underwater. Some of the images in that Google search I link are ludicrously unrealistic.

>A model like this is necessary to support quality content online.

It's totally not. People essentially enjoy creating and sharing, and love putting up quality content about things they truly give a shit about.

The internet was built on people writing massive forums posts about completely stripping down Kawasaki motorbike engines, and hosting their own websites where they ramble about conditional probability. Wikipedia was written by unpaid but enthusiastic curators, and no one got paid for uploading popular Youtube videos until long after it was already a staple of the internet.

I totally and utterly refute your statement. The world came to the internet for the content that people made for free, because it was the best. It's still the best. After all, you're here reading the comments on hacker news, which we are all freely contributing too with no expectation of compensation.

Quality online content will not vanish if online advertising fails, because quality online content is posted by people who first and foremost /want to post content/. It'll move to different kinds of websites depending on how people want to access content at the time, but it will still be here, just as it always has been. What will vanish is all the mediocre spacefilling bullshit. The stuff so dull you _must_ pay someone to write it because no one would do it for fun or kudos.
Yeah. It was a surprise to me when I first discovered just how complex sex/gender is, in purely factual terms. I suppose over time society will have to develop sub-qualifications, because having just one binary category (man/woman) doesn't properly work at categorizing various aspects of a human being, like:

- grouping by the way someone looks (influenced by hormones)

- grouping by reproduction capability (can or can not be pregnant)

- grouping by reproduction hardware

- grouping by which group of partners one finds sexually interesting

- grouping by various other aspects of biology (chromosomes and all)

Different areas in life really want to categorize by a different set of those aspects, and bundling it all under one word starts to become problematic. My programmer intuition tells me we need to become more explicit about which aspect we mean at any given moment.
The problem is they often look interesting instead of realistic.

Take the bouncing door in front of the wall of fire in matrix. It's nothing like an actual fire or actual detonation etc, but because the film is of a simulated world you can just say that looks cool. On the other hand CGI backgrounds that look overly crisp or water that looks right to people that don't pay attention to actual water are more a style question than a capability question.

Real fire tends to be less photogenic than movie fire, so the CGI is replicating movie fire well instead of actual fire poorly.

It seems to be one of the immutable laws of the internet that whenever there is a discussion of anything related to Steve Gibson someone will invariably post the link to that attrition.org site.

If I may disregard the entire Ad hominem part and instead focus on the people posting the link. I must wonder how many have actually read what the site says about Steve Gibson and given some thought to what it might mean.

It records a dozen or so issues over a the last 17 years. He has been doing the Security Now podcast since summer of 2005. That is a two hour podcast, 50 episodes a year for twelve year. That is 1200 hours of content. That is like 40 books worth. Then there is also the columns he has written and so on. 40 books attempting to explain security issues to a wider audience with only a dozen errors seems an amazingly low error rate to me.

If you also look at what sort of errors are reported you see that some of them seem to be more the errors of degree, rather than kind. He seems to have a tendency to blow things out of proportion; for hyperbole. But if hyperbole is such a deadly sin, why is their go to reference for Steve Gibson errors The Register?!?

Now I'm sure Steve Gibson has made more mistakes than those, and the he holds silly opinions on some things. Everyone does. But that attrition.org page does not seem to convince me of anything aside from making me lower my esteem for the attrition.org site.

I do wish that rather than this sort utterly lame Ad hominem attacks proposals were judged on their own merit, but this is the internet, so maybe I shouldn't hope for too much.

I'd still love to see a citation for "the moderator team do not hide that they are SJW's".

As for allowing in only what mods agree with, I haven't observed such a thing. In fact, Uber stories serve as a great example. Since the first stories many years ago to this very day, HN community remains essentially split between those who love Uber and focus on the benefits it brings vs. those who hate Uber and focus on their anti-social business practices. Nowhere I've seen mods trying to force the discussion in favour of either side.

(And Uber stories are like catnip for me, so believe me, I follow those discussions closely.)

This is actually implemented in the biggest bank of Ukraine, PrivatBank.

1. Open login page https://www.privat24.ua on the computer, you'll see a QR code,

2. Take your phone, open bank's official Privat24 app,

3. Within the app select "Scan QR code",

4. Upon scanning, the page on the computer is reloaded and you are presented with the dashboard.

Very convenient. I wish more services across the internet would provide the same means to log in (although, of course not every one service can afford having a dedicated mobile app).
I really understand your frustration and uncertainty, and to be frank; you don't know for sure that the IRS would chase after rich people.

But let me float this: Guess which parties/party wanted the tax code that complicated to begin with? The first step to fixing it would be to not align yourself with the ones who caused the issue.

Simpler tax code would make it less worrysome for regular plebs (us) to fill out our taxes, meaning the lower/middle class that pays their taxes would ensure they weren't in danger, and IRS would have an easier time chasing down tax avoiders.

The people who complicated the tax codes and also wants to uninsure tens of millions of people to save a few bucks for rich people won't help you.

WiFi is to cellular connectivity what local storage is to the cloud. Apparently it's all fine and dandy, then one day someone on the other side change their mind and you lose this or that feature, in other words control.

Cellular connectivity can be useful as cloud storage can be, but I'd never ever use anything that depends on either for connectivity or storage.
Moving every resource behind a tap the user cannot control is not the way to go, although I'm sure IT companies will keep pushing in that direction for obvious reasons.

George Soros owns part of facebook. That can only be a good thing, right ? Whats wrong??

This was already going to be a tough sell with major publishers.

If Google isn't willing to promise they'll keep it around for a couple years, it simply won't be worthwhile for publishers to invest the engineering (and legal resources) to do these deals and the integrations. I don't expect this latest incarnation to gain traction in its current form.

I do have hope for this subscription model still. If Google or someone else makes a serious go of it, I'll be cheering them on.

I am not familiar with Fido but I am looking at their website. It looks like a complex protocol for enterprises. Not some simple library available for many programming language and platforms, which any website can easily implement and add as an alternative or a substitute for login/password.

It might help the google, microsoft and bank of america of this world. But these are not the ones leaking our credentials (most often). It is the smaller websites who will not have the resources to go through some certifications or implement these protocols from scratch.

What is really missing is a common, free standard protocol, that can be easily adopted by a small website.

Is Fido trying to answer this use case?
The development started in 2013, but it's, at this moment, not finished. Steve Gibson commented that it's almost complete and is just working on the documentation. So it's not that weird that it's not adopted in mainstream sites.
What this truly shows is that landlords have too much money. They are able to sit on their non performing asset keeping prices inflated. Call me a socialist but I think this shows that the effective real estate tax rate is too low for some commercial properties.

The Half-Life of Code
The sysadmin in the CS computer labs at my uni (Leeds) was doing this in 2002.

Changing cracked passwords was compulsory, you got an email that just said (paraphrasing) "Your password is crap" and then were forced to change it at next login.

It was quite amusing, and instructive for the first year students. I seem to remember it happening to maybe 15 to 20% of people when I started, even though everyone was warned repeatedly. And this was with hardware and hashes from 15 years ago. Many (most?!) websites were still storing passwords in plain-text and didn't use TLS for log-in forms in those days!

This is why the Planet Money approach works so well. Rather then an AMA, perhaps there should be two guest economists, and a political topic is chosen to be discussed. The discussion could focus on the economics, which would appeal to the technical side of HN and remove a lot of the typical emotional appeal. I would also propose that for those topics, voting be disabled for the guests replies. The purpose is to show both sides a discussion, and voting typically turns populist on political discussions. (I know about false equivalency fallacy, but I think for politics it is important both sides have a voice)

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if there is already a HN economical equivalent website somewhere, just its outside our tech bubble so we (I at least), have not stumbled across it.
Not arguing in favor of US but how can you compare the size of these small countries with US size in terms of distributing energy?
And of course it gets even more complex when you consider how things like hormonal changes (either natural or unnatural) effect gender.

Also there seem to be other factors which aren't understood yet:

The researchers identified a region of the hypothalamus, known as the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BSTc), as being responsible for sexual behaviour. This area is always larger in men than women. However, in their study of six MTF GID sufferers, a female‐sized BSTc was present in all subjects. Additionally, the size of the BSTc was not influenced by taking sex hormones in adulthood. This implies that these individuals had a powerful biological force compelling them to be female, rather than just a psychological conviction.

In the early days, Delicious and Reddit were often talked about as being in the "social bookmarking" space since they both centered around sharing links with other people. Remember Reddit didn't even have comments for a long time! The distinction was in Delicious you tagged links, in Reddit you voted on links. I visited both regularly to get my social link fix.

I'm sure from your POV Reddit has always been an entirely different beast, but (and at the risk of teaching my grandmother how to suck eggs) as an early user of both I saw them as have a lot of similarity, both forging a similar and exciting new future of people collectively making the web more discoverable.

I actually tried to build a product which attempted to combine the best of both: a tool for communities to organize links. I still think there is room for something like that, but countless people have tried and none have taken off, so it seem it is way harder to get something like that to catch on than it seemed in those heady days of web 2.0.
Ah yes, "my side is too nice to get anything done." It comes up in politics all the time. I've heard the claim since Reagan was in office.

I've never believed it.

---

The biggest problem in the US is that currently neither party has a convincing majority. During the Depression, Democrats held something like 75% of the Senate. When FDR tried to pack the Supreme Court, the Republicans had no ability to stop it and had to rely on Democratic senators to decide it looked bad.

Today all politicians know that government control can change drastically in the next election, which gives a lot of hope to the guys out of power that if they slow things down just a little longer they'll achieve their wildest dreams, and a lot of fear for the guys in power that if they don't get what they want today they may not get another chance tomorrow.
The protocol is open, so you can create open source lib and server. You do not need to certify the open source libraries. There is already a lot of code out-there. The browser have to implement it as well, chrome does, others should follow soon.

See this example Java library: https://github.com/Yubico/java-u2flib-server

But in general they seem to be doing a very good job of forcing hardware to be standards complaint. They are putting quite a bit of effort into standards testing suites that you can use to validate your code as well.

A good thing about it is that on the server it only saves site-specific public keys, so small websites that get hacked leak important information.
As a software consultant, I am rarely the target user on any of the software I develop. Occasionally, this means integrating with platforms or systems I do not personally like. I derive satisfaction from from crafting a high-quality experience for the user that solves their problems.
