Highly disingenuous - it doesn't even mention the patent grab. Yet the same move is precisely what has gotten Facebook into so much controversy re the React BSD plus patents license.

Yeah, I really hope something like Gatekeeper comes to iOS. As time moves on (and tech companies stop being apolitical), I'd like to not have the App Store being the only way to get software only my device.

For example Gab was rejected by the App Store because of the content people were posting. Of course, they won't ban Chrome despite being susceptible to the same content violation.
You also can only buy cars from individuals (dealerships run credit checks, even if you pay with cash/check/direct draft) and you probably can't get power, water, gas or Internet in your name (you'd need a roommate and have to pay them).
As someone who frequently has reasonable exchanges with alt-righters I largely agree with your post.

To me the hatred from the right is somewhat self-aware. They know that their views are not welcome and they have no pretense of being inclusive. Segregation of cultures is their shtick after all.

But they are willing to debate things openly, at least on the internet. They might call you a shill, bluepilled or even a race traitor but I have not heard the that something is unthinkable to be discussed.

In fact, on 8chan you can find furry porn (which would be considered degenerate by nazi standards) and seemingly serious discussions how the purity of ones race and culture can be preserved side by side.

When then people from the left come and say things such as "it is not acceptable to argue over [...]" then the thoughtcrime bells in my head go off and I get the visceral feeling that the "distinct but equal" norm on the right might actually not be so bad compared to the "absorb and unify everything, when done stamp out things outside the overton window" on the left. Because I want to be able to argue hypotheticals outside the overton window without being accidentally mistaken as someone who might perform acts outside the window.

The fact that you feel you need to litter your post with a lot of virtue signalling out of concern as being mistaken as a nazi-sympathizer strikes me as something having gone wrong. Are people incapable of distinguishing between an argument being made vs. (non-)endorsement of an argument?

> but since this is such a sensitive topic

This is also something that I do not understand. As long as there are actual wars in the world, global warming, starvation etc. this seems to be an inconsequential topic to me. If we can discuss nations attacking each other, death penalty, sweatshops, massive extinction of many valuable species, etc. then we should be able to discuss groups within one nation hating each others' guts at a sub-war-threshold without putting on satin gloves.
These "culture wars" are way too overblown considering what they represent on the hierarchy of needs.
I've always thought would be interesting to create a survey that would ask FB users: what is the maximum amount they would pay per month to use Facebook? What is it really worth to them? Or, would they continue to use it if it was $10/month? How about 50 cents?

"4. PWAs everywhere"

Yeah, yeah, I read that many times while I researched about it.
But everywhere seams to mean today, everywhere except for the old-school Desktop (!)

I mean I understand, that the implementation and development of a new standard takes time and since mobile is hip, everyone focus there first. Makes sense. But I feel a bit ridicouled(and annoyed) with all the PWA, don't worry about plattform talk - and then there are no signs at all, that the traditional desktop is a target in the near future, if it is at all. At least I could not find further informations.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest

And I am building a webapp, which does a bit more than turning on a lightbulb, so I also like it to run on a real PC. To work with it. With a screen and keyboard - and yes, whenever I want, easily switch to mobile and still be able to work with it, ... this is what would make me excited.
True plattform-independence, where I don't have to worry about clumsy plattform details.
What I have to worry about is adjusting to the screensize, etc. and if there is a keyboard, mouse, gps, device orientation, battery maybe(so the app knows to save urgent data, before, the power goes off), pressure sensitive pen, multitouch, etc. etc.

I'd like to have all this information and then present the user the best UI I can master with the given conditions and don't worry what happens behind the scene.

I just target the WebAPI's.

And they get more and more powerful. Mozilla tried to build and market their OS around them, which failed comercially, but helped the basic idea a lot.
And this basic idea I like because of the simplicity. So I am excited and looking forward for further improvements ... but please don't forget the desktop as a plattform!
I understand that the solution is complex, but until 17 April 2018 my browser is going to accept some certificates that are reputed to be unsafe today. If this is the power that the browsers have over CA I don't feel secure.
You hit the nail on the head.

Just to add another data point, everything up in Oregon works exactly the same. Monthly meetings, monthly trainings, optional trainings for specialty teams (rope support, trail running, ATV, mountain biking, etc) every week or so, and a call-out once every 1-2 weeks.

If you're even remotely interested in emergency preparedness I highly recommend signing up with a community search and rescue organization.
> You may want to think twice. Try to design an architecture that doesn't have that.

We have an architecture like that where I work. It's not that hard. Our web applications have very little direct access to databases; most of it is mediated by services downstream of the web app. That's certainly not a silver bullet, but it makes it impossible to exploit a RCE vuln in the web server in such a way that it lets you have arbitrary access to the database.

Yes but for deeply nested comments, Reddit's interface (with Reddit Enhancement Suite) is so much better. You can reasonably navigate a multi thousand comment thread. On HN, that's difficult / impossible, especially on mobile.
Oops, the site was hackernewsified and is intermittently down for me.

Neat idea, and I do like the OTF hacking, but why not use simple SVG?

<svg viewBox='0 -20 85 40' style="height: 1.5em">
<!-- data in d parameter below as x,y pairs -->
<path d='m 0,0 L 10,5 20,8 30,6 40,3 50,-2 60,-8 70,4 80,6'
fill='none' stroke='black'/>
<circle cx='80' cy='6' r='2'/>
</svg>

It has the advantage of using actual data, it is trivial to generate, is embedded into HTML without an extra fetch, won't confuse screen readers, doesn't require the normal web-font alternative file format dance, and isn't quantised to a set of precreated values.

Poor old SVG, it is constantly being reinvented.
Now would be a great time to go long EFX in my opinion

I agree with the sentiment, and I’m keeping my eye out for an opportunity. But I don’t think they’ve been hammered enough. I mean, it’s not like they’ve hit a 52 week low or anything. Maybe if I can find some in-the-money calls for a reasonable price...
You can do this already with Chrome extensions on desktop.
ICS/NIMS trainings are painful to sit through, but in practice it appears pretty agile to me when implemented faithfully.

Instructors will tell you, it's only when you want to be part of the management structure that you really need to know what is going on. Even today, the bottom rung mostly just needs to know where to check in, who they report to, and how to communicate.

I understand your cynicism, and in many places it's applicable. I've noticed however that gov't works developed in the wake of a disaster seems to be pretty solid. Maybe because the project leaders are granted unusual latitude to ignore the lawyers & bureaucrats :)
You can do only burner prepaid sims that don't require a name/personal info (which is a bit difficult to find) but your general point is still very valid. You cannot escape the data collection systems in our society without going all Henry David Thoreau.

This makes me wonder something. I know that while they can't force you to enter your passcode, they can force you to unlock with your fingerprint. I've heard people ask for a feature where you basically have a "duress fingerprint," since fingerprint is already different than password, would using a duress fingerprint be acceptable?
So did the camera manufacturer.
Of all vulnerabilities that created massive amount of personal data leaks this may be the biggest but it is hardly the one caused by the most negligence.

Linkedin using unsalted sha hashes is a lot more maddening. Here you have a vulnerability being disclosed and not enough time to patch your code.
> I'm still concerned about the time needed for recharging, especially if that recharging is to be a home

Charging at home is the least worrisome of all charging situations, because you can charge while you sleep and not care about how long it takes. Same with charging at shopping centres, restaurants, parks, hotels, etc., because you're going to spend the time doing the thing you went there to do anyway, regardless of whether you're charging or not.

The only time charging speed actually matters is when you're on a long road trip and need to keep moving. That's when you need a fast charging solution, like CHAdeMO or Tesla's Superchargers.
> And I think their urgency in removing it only shows how bad it really was, not how concerned they are for users.

Well, that only really shows how bad it might be or was being perceived and whatever backlash it might generate. It's entirely possible to feel like you have to backpedal on something that was meant entirely for the good of others because it's perceived as self serving (not that this situation maps to that, I'm making a general point).
I held out on Messenger for a very long time for the reason that it required way too many permissions upon installation. I was not going to give FB access to my camera, file storage, location, microphone, contacts, etc. No thanks. I've never had the FB app installed. For a while I was checking my messages via the FB website requesting desktop mode or via the desktop browser. I also used to be a big opponent of notifications. Once three things aligned, namely granular permission granting for Messenger, a person I cared to actually chat with enough, and my realization that the only value I got out of FB was in messages, I installed Messenger. Still being the opponent to notifications that I am, I only turned on push notifications for a few select people. No sounds or lights or any other bullshit. Surprisingly, I'm way happier with this setup. I'm far less likely to check FB. I'm not habitually checking for messages from the few people I care about, in general now I feel more control, and I'm not annoyed. I found the result surprising. Occasionally I'll log in to FB and take a look at what's going on, but aside from the skating vidyas it's mostly vacuous crap. In hindsight this all makes sense. Increase the valuable communication between users, give them more control and they'll be happier (at least in my case). Who would've guessed?
On milk you may be right. Whole Foods doesn't sell exclusively organic, but they do exclusively sell, e.g., hormone-free products. Whole Foods effectively has a price floor that limits how competitive they can be.

I've found milk and eggs to be sometimes slightly cheaper at Safeway, but they're really bottom-of-the-barrel brands and not something I'd buy anyhow. The brand of non-organic eggs I buy is sold by both WF and Safeway, but WF is consistently <= than Safeway, and there's only one or two brands at Safeway that is cheaper.

But this is pocket change. For higher-priced things, like meats (ground beef, chicken), I find WF's prices to more than make up the difference. Generally, unless Grocery Outlet has a great deal, we just default to buying meat, eggs, dairy, and vegetables at WF when we can. Unfortunately, WF is less convenient for us than Safeway, so we do regularly shop (and pay more for it) at Safeway if we're pressed for time.
I get your point but, in this case, the consumers are banks and the likes. You aren't, probably, their customer.

I'm not suggesting that's right, but it is how it is.
> Perhaps I missed it, but this paper seems to ignore usage of alt accounts.

It's also mistakenly attributing lack of "hate speech by these accounts to banning of subreddits when it's actually that most of reddit now censors "hate speech" and bans accounts that do so.
Displaying the live AVL data for all Missoula busses is not too bad. In Seattle where I currently live, not so much. Thus, most of our apps here tend to give arrival times of busses with nearby stops.

Fun aside: my dad drove for the Mountain Line many years ago. I rescued one of his 1970s yellow shirts with the embroidered logo patch a while back.
What is your goal for pointing out that nobody cared when Obama was in charge? Showing that you were opposed to it before being opposed to it was cool? If you are objectively opposed to something, and now suddenly everybody else doesn't like it either, go ahead and lock in those gains. Say "you know what, you're right, we should get rid of <insert power here>".
I strongly disagree, it's like someone picking up a rock and then owning the copyright on it's shape. Copywrite implies creative control and unlike a motion sensor camera the 'artist' did not define anything about the picture.

The statement released by Apache said that, if the attack did use the REST plugin vulnerability in Struts, then it would have been a zero-day at the time of use.
The price difference certainly makes it a bit unreasonable to compare the CLA and the Model S. But the Model 3 is a different story. The 3 should drive very similarly to the non-performance non-AWD Ss (like mine), and the price is similar to the CLA.

The parts similarity weirded me out a bit. It was strange having the exact same gear shifter and turn signal lever in a completely different car. But both companies seem to have good taste in that respect.

As far as the regen, I personally really like it, and you might too once you got used to it. It's really nice to only use one pedal for most driving. However, if it really is not to your taste, you can turn it down in the settings. The result is much like an automatic car, where you only get very mild braking when you release the accelerator. Of course, you sacrifice some efficiency and brake life when you do this.
Doesn't have to be. I have friends who participate in quarterly meetings for their city where they do drills for different emergencies.
Yes! Germany and I presume other European countries have a much better system.

The main difference is that there is no magic number that any one can use to borrow money in your name. Lenders have to verify a person's identity using ID.

Further more, to get loan you don't have build up a score first. You could get a margage if you have never borrowed money in your life but have a stable income.
We saw many official groups - most of the swiftwater rescue teams from central Texas, the National Guard, local fire and police departments, organized volunteer groups including the Texas and Cajun Navies, and the Coast Guard. Of those groups the only ones we encountered who weren't obviously armed were the Coast Guard. They may have had their firearms in their vehicles but they weren't on display.

No one that we talked with fired a shot or was fired at. During the several days that we were down there none of us heard a shot even though at times we were supposedly in the neighborhood where boaters had been attacked. We did find some neighborhoods where civilian boats were not allowed - authorities had blocked access except to Coast Guard, Nat'l Guard or other official group boats. Several of these neighborhoods were along the bayous where a lot of expensive homes were built. It seems unlikely that anyone was going to shoot at a rescuer in those areas.
As mentioned, you do have this power. But for the average user, this gives too much control, because the average user has no way to judge the trustworthiness of various CAs, if they even understood what CAs were, which they don't have the time or inclination to care about. I'd say most Hacker News readers wouldn't be able to make the correct determinations about this either.

Ask HN: Sources of part-time programming income?
Employment tends to be all or nothing but often a day's work to provide a basic income while working on a startup idea is what's needed. Recruiters tend not to be interested in part-timers so what kind of programming services have you found to be a good source of part-time income? I'm thinking of services offered to small/medium businesses rather than startups, ie. part-time employment not side projects.
What do they do with it after you give it to them? Does the device leave your sight?
I believe you got it backwards. When the device is open, it can protect one's privacy. The problem is, we don't have open devices.

I mean, tha hardware is not open, so developers can't generally implement any proper secure boot schemes (starting from a trusted bootloader), and can't generally control what goes on in the radio modules. Because there are no devices that have those parts open (or I'm unaware of something I want to buy?), there's no security/privacy possible.

Apple can provide privacy there because they're damn huge and they can purchase or design any hardware they want, fully documented to the last every single logic gate. An average free software developer can't.

As for the userland - I believe there are AOSP derivatives + 3rd party apps that result in a reasonably good privacy and security experience.

I’ve done something similar but technically that only prevents you from visiting the main site.

If you want to be really shocked you should search for some of the host files out there that attempt to list every known Facebook-owned host; there are hundreds of lines or more. It is extremely difficult to prevent Facebook tentacles from being loaded by other sites, and it’s surely a losing battle (I bet they register new domains daily).

I've been stumped countless times. It can be demoralizing at times, but I've always found a way through. Some things that help:

- Break the problem down into smaller pieces. Analyze/Attack each piece.

- Try to attack the problem from a different angle.

- Step back, explain the problem to someone. Sometimes just explaining yourself helps highlight your assumptions, and can help you re-arrange your approach.

- Keep at it. Keep trying different things.

If you're instructed to unlock the phone with your finger, and your "duress fingerprint" unlocks fake data, then you're misrepresenting that fake data as the real data and would presumably be considered to be making a false statement (though this is just speculation on my part).

On the other hand, a "duress fingerprint" that locks out TouchID wouldn't be misrepresenting anything. But it wouldn't surprise me if they could still get you in trouble some other way for knowingly locking out the device after it's been confiscated.
What impetus do the banks have to change credit rating providers, especially when it would come at massive cost to themselves and probably take months if not years?

The only one I can think of would be consumers refusing to open bank accounts or credit cards with them because they run Equifax checks, which seems improbable.
It’s been over a month or so since I logged in and I received an apparently-real E-mail trying to “help me log back in to Facebook”.
