Eh, it's dropping the ball to be honest.

Of recent purchases on Amazon (sold by others, but dispatched and warehoused by Amazon) 50% have been faulty and needed to be returned ... that's put friction into the process because they don't do any QC on what they're stocking.

I've also had an instance recently of something shipped by Amazon that was meant to be with me next day not turning up and needing to be re-ordered. They only admitted it was lost days later, so I didn't re-order sooner. OK, I got a free month of Prime for my troubles, but it's not the amazing friction free experience it used to be.
Newer captive portals (FON with latest firmware for example) are blocking iodine by being clever about which request to answer (bunch of A and AAAA with some of responses being CNAMEs, which are quickly followed by resolution of just received answers to A/AAAA), and which to block (bunch of NULL queries or "dangling" CNAMEs that are not followed by A/AAAA).

That being said - that's a bit over the top. The only reason I wouldn't want my AP to be open and unfiltered is - I don't want any junk being sent out which is attributable to me (by IP), and which I have no control over. Iodine, being a tunnel will only transport to "guest"'s server and go into the wider Internet with their server's IP.

If somebody is in enough of a squezze to jump over that sort of hoops, and there're no costs/risks for me - let them have it. I'm fine with that.

I work in finance. Most web sites you could download an exe from are blocked, downloading exes is disabled and running installers is restricted to admin accounts by group policy. If you do get round all that and do it anyway and you're caught, theres a good chance you'll be fired.

One issue is that some classes of users and locations (e.g. Trading floors) are restricted by law concerning the communications systems they can use for work because all communications regarding financial transactions has to be auditable.

On the other hand most of the banks have their own internal software libraries you can install stuff from and you get a bunch of useful utilities by default such as Irfanview, notepad++, Greenshot or similar. Machines for devs are often less locked down.
Oh, it's messy.

In brief, if any of the said applications require Registry entry, it denies that through the permission model that these systems have installed.

If it requires altering some files under some directory, it denies that as well.

Some corporations even restrict such shady websites altogether using an exhaustive list of restricted domains and subdomains, often maintained by a third party, who do this list maintenance full-time for corporates like IBM, TCS, just to name a few.

On top of it, almost all network and device activities are tracked, flash drive ports disabled, etc. to ensure "security".

(Only a handful of underpaid device managers have access to Admin account. Forget the fact that this still doesn't prevent them from doing so at their discretion, or credentials sharing)

1. That's exactly what I said, though you are just patching a broken system here, why not just use a system that's resilient to all of this in the first place like with end to end?

2. How so? EteSync for example has a git like integrity verification (just with HMAC instead of hash), so it's easy to check consistency across clients, and the server can't forge anything. The worst the server/MITM can do is stop syncing a specific client which would be easy to detect. A rogue server can't even omit specific changes, only stop sync. So I don't agree with your assertion.

> In the USA, if you are unreasonable, you're most likely on the right. Most reasonable people are clustered with the left. And a minority of unreasonable people are also on the left, with another minority of reasonable people clustered on the right.

I don't think it's fair to generalize 330 million people like this.

Certainly it feels like there are more reality-denying theories peddled by right wing media, but that could be for a variety of reasons, not limited to:

1. Right wing media is louder in their publicizing of these issues

2. Your media sources are more liberal and you view right wing media outlets as "unreasonable"

I am not American, but I have American friends. You cannot generalize political beliefs into who is reasonable or unreasonable in all their beliefs. Politics is a spectrum, and right now in America you have the loudest people screaming from the extreme right and (IMHO) the centre left. If you identify as more liberal, you're far more inclined to view this coverage as "reasonable" compared to more right leaning coverage.

> Effectively, the right averages to be unreasonable, and the left to be reasonable. I find the media reflect that quite well.

No, this is the current media situation in America. In other countries this kind of propaganda from both sides of the political spectrum is not as prominent, and it's far easier to have a rational and reasonable debate about political issues.

You can draw your own conclusions about America, but please do not come away with the impression that all right-leaning people are unreasonable. It's a big world, and this most certainly is not the case in other countries.

I'd argue it's also not the case in America. American media has just been hijacked by the most loud, extreme group of people (from both sides) because the executives have figured out this style of coverage earns more money.

From an outside view, American news media has basically turned into The Jerry Springer Show. It's trashy and devoid of almost any meaningful content, but people watch it to be entertained.
Same situation here ("Zwischenablage"-country, was made familiar with the concept in the non-icon days, learned the shortcuts and never click icons). The icons were always somewhat confusing to me, I have to actively think what they mean if I want to use icon-only buttons.

Eh. I'm not sure if Japanese<->Chinese is that good of an example either; Chinese is sort of the Latin of Japanese.

Even though it's grammar is different, China had a huge cultural influence on Japan, and both its writing system and its vocabulary (as spoken over a thousand years ago though!) were imported and incorporated into Japanese. Something like 60% of the Japanese dictionary is Chinese-derived either as old imported words, or more modern "wasei kango" (lit. Japanese-made Chinese words) -- think "television" for an English word equivalent (modern idea but coined with Greek and Latin word roots).

Why don't the ETH people actually put out some decent templates for smart ICO contracts. It seems nonsensical that their platform is supposedly a "world computer" designed to enable smart contracts when a vast majority of the created contracts fail because of being hacked.

I invested in the ETH pre-sale and have done very well from it, but I have been selling a bit lately because I think someone else will come along with a system that open sources some really solidly vetted template contracts that have been thoroughly penetration tested by professionals.
A naming pattern that I used for some time was to open the Wikipedia article of the thing that my program is about, and look in the sidebar for nice-sounding names for it in another language.

Ask HN: Technical books that are must read for a developer with SAAS product?
This is a life or death situation, have wasted the past 5hours surfing the internet to find the perfect book.

I have read a lot of non-fiction books during my commute. Now trying an experiment to read technical books. I started with Elements of Programming Interviews to learn about algorithms but it looks like I will never see these problems in my daily life.

I am an embedded software developer, and have a few saas products on the side.
Considering, Head First into Design Patterns, or Operating Systems Concepts by Tanenbaum next but I am open to any other book that will give me a technical braingasm.

SOME RULES:
The book should not be a reference book like the art of computer programming or CLRS.
It should be beginner friendly considering I am a self taught developer.
It can be of a particular niche, i.e. something about ai, blockchain, OS, functional programming.
It should be something that improves me as a developer. Something that changed your mindset about programming, or software development

I think you misunderstood the OP's post. He is saying that the people have a right to access the internet as a utility,
regardless of the destination address, be it Netflix or Google. Just like I should have the right to choose which food I eat, be it milk, or as you suggest, candy or fast food.

Netflix in particular is indeed not a right, and in fact Netflix charges a monthly subscription that you may or may not be able to afford. But if I pay for Netflix, I should have a right to access it, or any service I want, via my "chosen" internet service provider.

Anyway I'm making this post because I think I have a better version of the milk analogy, so here goes...

The main problem with the milk analogy is how the transactions are done. I pay the grocery store a fee for access to walk in and out of the market with a certain weight of groceries per second. Separately I pay the milk provider for all-you-can-drink access to milk.

(Alternatively, you can imagine the grocery store is one of those stores in a mall that you have to walk through to get to the rest of the mall, but I'm forced to walk in and out through their front door).

In this analogy, the grocery store should have no right to limit the amount of milk I can carry through their market, while claiming to offer access to any food by weight.

> if you are unreasonable, you're most likely on the right. Most reasonable people are clustered with the left.

I hope you realize there's nothing reasonable about this statement. IMO, most times when the right has been considered to be unreasonable, so to speak, it has been a response to the left taking things too far. And yes, this includes WWII; there is no Hitler without communism.

This is not to validate nor justify any extremists' actions but rather to illustrate that even when you are supposedly trying to appear centrist, you really aren't and what's worse is that you don't realize it. When this type of thing happens, you end up with bad outcomes. If you're going to be reasonable, also realize you're biased as I am (rightist).
