Regrettably it didn't work out that way for me. I had a brand new macbook air at the time I tried this. When I booted into Kali, I was unable to access the network settings at all[1], period, let alone get any packet sniffing going. I couldn't even connect to the internet.

The other day I was walking through a parking garage as two Volts were heading towards the exit.

It was incredibly eerie how quiet it was, just the sounds of the tires against the pavement, no ICEs running.
Ahh, could you recommend any specific neighborhoods? I'm starting to seriously consider Kansas City, coincidentally enough.

Brutal, but honest. Finance and property are where concentrated wealth really show their ugly side. Without regulation, or with the wrong regulation, this cannot spell good news for average joe worker.
I think it is attack-driven. Most bitcoin wallets/exchanges have 2FA/U2F because it is a must given the value at stake. If you are running a forum board, you probably don't care much neither are your users going to bother.
The point is you're not going to get malware if you open the wrong email or go to the wrong site like you could on Windows. The organizations with enough resources to hack iOS devices aren't interested in sending mass emails to steal bank account details. The average iOS user who keeps their device up to date simply doesn't have to worry about malware and suggesting otherwise is misleading.

Ask HN: As team lead, how to handle secrets?
A member of my team recently informed me that he is actively looking for a new job, intending to quit. He stated that this information was only for my eyes and I should not tell anyone else.

I think that the employee's decision is good for him and for the company and therefore doesn't require action.

But the founder of our start-up might see it differently. By not informing him, I'm taking away from him the option to offer the employee a raise, fire him already or otherwise prepare for his exit.

On the other hand, if I spill the secret then I won't ever be trusted with that kind of information again.

What should I do?

Don't airlines do this too? You can buy the first ten tickets on a given plane for the same price that you would pay for the very last available ticket. Don't see anyone getting lynched in that industry.
WEP, WPA, WPA2... why keep reinventing the same wheel? Each new iteration inevitable turns out to be less-than-perfect and keep adding more and more complexity and overhead - for one, join/leave times keep increasing, up to a point where we have a separate standard (802.11r) just to get back pre-WPA roaming speeds (at cost of even more protocol complexity overhead).

Here's crazy idea: Why not run open network + IPSEC, or heck, even OpenVPN? Obviously, drop all non-VPN traffic right on the AP (or first router after it) to nip freeloaders in the bud.

I'm working from Copenhagen right now. A valid-for-one-month 30GB data + 600 unlimited minutes on Lebara SIM card is $15 (and that includes free international calling to, e.g., USA or Brazil or wherever), and I can re-up at any time. I've been using SIM Card + mobile hot-spot to access the internet, web, VPN, AWS, etc. from a number of places. Speed is very good. I wish it were like this in the US.

Coverage in my home area of North Carolina (the Triad != Triangle) is quite good, Verizon is kind of expensive. It's a lot better than coverage I had living in the SF Bay Area -- whenever I go there I still find so many dead zones.

$500 NZ versus $11000 US - maybe there is something wrong with your health system.
While there is of course no guarantee, most of the shitstained-OS-installations that were (or still are?) so common, with symptoms like non-functional systems, ads popping up, or having 90 toolbars are due to user actions. Sure, there are methods to deliver and elevate malware, but most of the 'problems' people experienced (before widespread banking malware) were practically "cosmetic" and "slowness" and almost always due to users randomly downloading and executing anything in their path.

With iOS, that pattern is a lot harder to abuse, and with enforced sandboxing, side-effects between programs (or, 'apps') are somewhat non-existent.

Most of the things that make non-Windows systems less infected seem to either be due to a better security design, less casual users or a drastically lower market share making it a smaller target with possible less effective organic spreading of malware. (or possibly a combination of the three)
> Is it not as crazy as it sounds for most users?

It's primarily lots of Byzantine rules in small print buried in long policies that few people read and even fewer memorize. If you are lucky and are conscious when you need to use a policy to visit a health care provider, you can bring your policy with you to ensure you follow it, but it's not always that easy. The health insurance company claims they told you how to follow the policy, but they don't make it any easier than they legally have to.

If you skip a rule (like calling your health insurance company before you visit an emergency room), that might violate your policy.
If you visit an "out of network" hospital when you should have visited an "in network" hospital, you may be liable for the difference in cost (which is huge due to health insurance distortions in the medical market).
If you try to go to a medical specialist without first going to your primary provider (as defined by your health insurance company), they likely won't cover it.
There are usually dozens or hundreds of pages of these rules in booklets that you get when you join an insurance policy.
If you don't know about / forget about a rule, you are responsible for the costs associated with the violation.

It's easy to unwittingly ask a health insurance question about your policy to the office manager at a doctor's office (who isn't qualified to speak about specific health insurance policies) and getting bad information that you then assume is good.

> Why aren't people marching in the streets?

I think most people see this as a "free market" problem (since 60%+ are covered by their employer-sponsored health insurance), not a political one. ~20% of Americans are covered by Medicare (the retirement-aged national health coverage) or have military veteran benefits, which are generally considered pretty good (unless you listen to political arguments). How would "marching in the street" fix a problem that people have with the "free market"?

The remaining 20% are among the most politically apathetic. We are lucky to get 50% participation of the voting-eligible electorate, even in presidential elections (which have higher turnout than other elections).

I think lots of Americans pride themselves on being stubborn and pretending like painful things aren't painful, then trying to ignore them.

Lastly, I think most Americans simply don't think that marching works. Rural America doesn't march. Urban America only seems to march for generic social justice causes, not for specific policy improvements.

That's a pretty sorry excuse for an apology, in my opinion.

First, he focuses heavily on how much stress the backlash has caused him. Then he tries to paint it as a "misunderstanding" on behalf of the users. None of this strikes me as the behavior of someone taking full responsibility for their actions.

Further, I keep seeing people trying to justify his actions with the pathetic excuse that he was probably just doing as told by his employer. Sorry folks, that's not how being an adult works. There's a reason virtually every formal code of ethics stresses personal responsibility. Take, for instance, 8-b from https://www.nspe.org/resources/ethics/code-ethics

Engineers shall not use association with a nonengineer, a corporation, or partnership as a "cloak" for unethical acts.

Or the very first point from http://www.acm.org/about/se-code

Software engineers shall act consistently with the public interest. In particular, software engineers shall, as appropriate:
1.01. Accept full responsibility for their own work.

Just because we're in the comparatively-"lower stakes" profession of web development, that doesn't mean we can use the sorry-ass excuse of "my boss told me to do it." Unless they held a gun to his head, he had a choice, and his choice should stick with his reputation for better or worse. Now his name is going to be attached this dumpster fire of a PR mess because he didn't have the will or integrity to say no, and smart people within the community will have a very good reason to no longer trust his judgement, much less his future contributions.
Wouldn't that effectively be jamming the AP at that point?
You still have to pay for an account. Which is used to pay licensing fees.

The difference is "This dollar came from a user in the US", versus "This dollar came from a user in Eastern Europe (or wherever Netflix isn't available)".

Netflix is still licensing the content, just not for your (real) jurisdiction.

To imply that it's better, then, to just outright pirate the content is... confusing.

Where is there a local grocery monopoly? I grew up in just about the most rural part of WV and we had several grocery options to choose from within a reasonable area.
But it DOES drive down consumer costs. Less profit for for-profit businesses means more money for consumers because prices are lower.

I don't care about if a bunch of for profit businesses lose money.

What I care about is consumers and low prices.

It doesn't matter if it is fair. What matters is what is best for consumers.

What you are effectively arguing is "Amazon is too awesome, and too good for consumers. Their prices are so low, that other companies, that offer a WORSE product for a WORSE price, are unable to compete". And that to me makes no sense.

I did a Show HN back when I was still a full-time corporate lawyer, and BeeLine Reader was just my side project. Much to my surprise, my post garnered over 700 points and was at #1 for the better part of a day. A HN-ranking site had it as the 9th-most popular Show HN ever, at the time (2013).

Almost four years later, we've raised a couple hundred thousand in equity and grants (mostly the latter, happily), and I'm working full-time on it. Equity is from Intel Capital and grant awards are from Stanford, The Tech Museum of Innovation, and NewSchools Venture Fund (a nonprofit backed by various SV family offices).

I will say that there is lots of luck in where posts end up. My second post about BeeLine Reader — when we released our Chrome extension — hardly got any attention. This was a big surprise, given how popular the (very alpha-version) bookmarklet had been.

Yes, technically true, but it probably was intentional. Think of the alternatives. The Bezos Post? The Bezos Washington Post? Think of his audience. Most people know what Amazon is, not who Jeff Bezos is. Spelling bee winners like you are not Trump's target audience. Instead of nitpicking, try asking why Trump may have said what he said. It's this refusal or inability to see things from other perspectives that was a major reason for the shock Democrats experienced when Trump won.

Well, what is true is that it's extremely hard to execute arbitrary code without user knowledge on a Mac. Windows has thousands upon thousands of arbitrary code execution bugs where simply opening something like a pdf can allow an attacker to run arbitrary code as a privileged user. There are many defense mechanisms to this that are inherent to the design and implementation of Darwin/Mac OS.

You jest, but in fact, MPAA, RIAA, absolutely -have- in the past tried to mandate, lobby, require that enterprise devices do L7 inspection for exactly this reason. They have been more than happy to argue that their member's products should have explicit preventions in third party hardware and software (at the third partys expense, of course) to protect revenue.

And on the flip side, certain firewall providers have marketed similar features to restrictive regimes such as China for the Great Firewall. And not just 'nudge nudge wink wink', but produced marketing material saying "This will help you prevent Falun Gong material being available, and help identify end users trying to access this material."

Yes, the lack of pricing transparency (and maybe even regulation) is a problem.

Average price for a CT scan is probably between $1000 and $2000 though.

Americans seem to have always preferred so-called "freedom" to social solidarity. It's every man for himself over there in the land of the free.
Although I don't know what "a reputation beyond his deserts means", I do know that focusing on jwz is not relevant. Either the message is true, or it isn't. Anything else is classic ad hominem and a digression from the point, you know?

> Is this really an "open source" thing?

Well, that the source be open to hack on is something that's pretty much a precondition to the situation where some random person finds themselves attempting to contribute to someone else's project. If you know of a way that's possible with anything that isn't open source, then maybe give an example? (If you interpreted my comment as one intended to be an argument against open source—and in favor of closed source, say—then you interpreted it incorrectly.)

> Is it a bad thing

A project that seeks contributors but exists in a state where contribution is more difficult than it could be is very much something I would call a bad thing.

> normal software development

"Normal"? Maybe. Yes, even. But not an intrinsic side effect of trying to develop software or run a project.
Digital Design and Computer Architecture (Harris & Harris)

Why? Because we software engineers can learn a lot from the hardware guys. Almost every piece of software I write these days contains some finite state machines (technically, every program is a finite state machine, where the binary string that makes up all your variables at a given point in time is one state, that insight alone is valuable, but I mean with explicit states in the code) - in fact, they often make up the core structure and uphold some strong invariants that make reasoning about the code simpler. And if one finite state machine does not do it, then you can nest them and keep all the benefits.
This is the important part,

Both are in the grocery business. However, both are effectively "bit players" in the business: Whole Foods has about 1.7% market share, while Amazon has 0.8%. For comparison, Walmart, plus its subsidiary Sam's Club, has over 20% market share.[1]

Generally, in the US, competition inquiries focus on the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) for a quantitative evaluation of industry concentration (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herfindahl_index). A potential combination with market shares such as Amazon's and Whole Foods' usually won't be seen as dangerous using that metric.

There are other concerns as well, of course, but the HHI is a critical one.
