HTTPS helps secure traffic between two parties, but that has nothing to do with whether that end party (ahem, Google, or Equifax, ahem) is secure.

If we want real security we need to put cryptographic keys in P2P identities, so users control end-to-end everything they do. No middleman can tamper with it.

Obviously, I'm opinionated because we're working on solving this, and creating a truly SECURE and DECENTRALIZED web: http://hackernoon.com/so-you-want-to-build-a-p2p-twitter-wit... !
Does Facebook always detail their tracking and analytics platform updates? In any case, my point is that it doesn't need to be malicious for FB to invalidate the privacy expectations that users of encrypted messaging might have.

If it was malicious, they already control the client code and therefore have access to the plaintext anyway.
I did not even think about the ITAR issue, but yeah it isn't like there aren't people out there that would love to pick up a booster with 9 re-usable engines in it.

I've always been amused at the bureaucracy getting ITAR licenses to "export" rockets into orbit. But that was when their destruction was assured when they returned.
I don't know what app you're talking about, but I find the fact that it uses OAuth disturbing: in my knowledge, HN doesn't officially support OAuth. So your app must interact with a third party endpoint. (I may be wrong here, it's just speculation). In any cases, it doesn't seem more trustworthy than typing your credential "directly in the app".

HNBuddy interacts with the HN website through a web scraper that is open source [1]. Though, as discussed in another comment, I can't really give you any proof that the code of this scraper is the actual code built in the app.

Anyway, if you don't trust me, you can still use the app as a simple reader :)

Why I came here can be explained easily by some of the principles of stoicism, is what I wanted to point out.

I'm not sure why I've been downvoted for simply explaining one of the reasons why I joined HN. Perhaps that means the person who downvoted me doesn't want me here, or thinks that my reasons for joining HN are not worthy.

The ideology being pushed by the editors I mentioned on /. is radical left-wing identitarian politics. Virtue-signaling and victimhood narratives. You might ask for examples - but I won't give you any. I've been on slashdot for decades, and it's over the past two years I noticed this trend. I've commented anonymously on at least 3 of their posts about this very thing - and calling them out explicitly and by name, and I've not gotten any response.

If I used an account, I could have found those comments again. I realise the onus is still on me to prove something, if requested - but all I said was "this is what I feel, and this is the reason I joined HN".

A biased journalist comes to the story with a predisposition and/or presupposition as to how their reporting on a matter will conclude, in a way that might lead to narrowing their field of vision such that they only pick up on things that confirm the narrative they're interested in subscribing to, or that fits in their view of the world.

Newspapers are rank with it in war reports, for example. And like I said, it's fine if you wear it on your sleeve.

You might be right that "unbiased means I agree" - that's certainly true more often than not. All I can say is I purposefully and actively work for that to not apply to me.

Of course I fail often.
I'm surprised that the author went with the vapor glove over another version of the trail glove.

I was another one of those that loved the first version. Ran them through multiple spartan races, half marathons, etc. They lasted a good 2 years before the sole really started to wear through. I remember looking for the next version during that time and seeing they were not continuing with the line. But they must have changed their mind, because they eventually came out with the trail glove 2.

I'm currently running with v2, with about a year of minimal wear on them, although it's mostly been weight training and 4 mile runs. They also seem to be continuing the line as it's now on v4. It would be interesting to see if there is any consistency on wear through the versions.
Yeah, I'm not saying no one would, but of the cross section I mentioned, how many would make the nominal connection and find it negative enough to dissuade them from applying knowing there's no actual functional connection. Not 0, but I wouldn't say 'lots of people'.

Actually, now that I think about it, with the Let's Encrypt DNS challenge this might actually be viable... That's pretty recent, though. And they rate limit harshly. I was thinking about the HTTP validation, which would definitely fail, due to the DNS resolving to a LAN IP. Which a CA would obviously not be able to verify.
It's not clear to me that phrasing excludes non-military from submitting the form, only that military branches do use it.
Printed metal has huge issues with heat, and they just switched from aluminum gridfins to titanium because of the heat. I seriously doubt that they’re usung additive techniques here.
Since the other examples don't appear to have convinced you, how about this one: https://samy.pl/poisontap/

Visit a single HTTP page while that's plugged in and it'll trigger an exploit that siphons all non-secure-flagged cookies off of every popular site that doesn't use HSTS (including the config pages of insecure routers on your LAN), and installs a persistent backdoor in them so the attacker can continue accessing data on those sites even after you're no longer being MITM'd. And that's not even using any zero-days; it's just exploiting the inherent vulnerabilities in non-secure HTTP.

(Note that while the site I linked talks about a USB device the same attack can be carried out by any MITM, like a WiFi router or upstream ISP; it's not exclusive to local attackers.)

I live in a suburb(using the term generously) of Houston. Its actually 40 miles from downtown Houston. It is southwest of the city, and when asked where I live, I say "down in Richmond". As a native Houstonian, I can say that this article rings true to me, but is becoming less so. Houston is actually quite diverse and there is a healthy distribution of cultures and immigrants so some of the Texas slang is fading. I think that Houston is a much better place to live now than it was even 20 years ago, there is great authentic cuisine from just about any corner of the globe available, and lots to do.
An interesting passage from the report:

"Product innovation could take a variety of forms, such as reduced PV racking and mounting, preassembled PV, and low-cost PV roofing tiles. An integrated PV and roofing product, in particular, could yield significant cost savings, especially if the roof and PV system could be shipped and installed in unison. Although integrated products have low market share today, it is plausible that they could reach the mass market by 2030. For example, several companies have recently introduced or are developing integrated PV products (CertainTeed 2017, GAF 2017, Tesla 2017). Product innovation along these lines could influence the labor, supply chain, and
structural BOS cost categories."

Which would seem to be good new for Tesla roofs, etc. I hadn't really considered how expensive traditional rooftop solar is in terms of both sales (convincing a homeowner that the should install panels) and installation (people physically going out on the roof).

From the report: Panel (module) pricing, Admin Overhead, Sales and Marketing and Physical Installation are all roughly equivalent. PV roofing tiles take a big chunk out the latter 3 which seems really promising.
I define insecure as a machine/user getting compromised. Malware, phishing and the like.

Anyway, your example is a good one as to why it's weird for Chrome to label these things as insecure.
Maybe not the right place to ask, but "Better standard library" appears in the section detailing future improvements that ReasonML might bring to the OCaml ecosystem. How do they plan on doing this, given that the major standard library camps seem relatively entrenched in OCaml today? Which one does the ReasonML community favor/intend to contribute to?
I meant generally, in terms of protections and wages for labor. It wouldn't be fair to compare Chinese or Indian residential solar costs with the US (less safety and much lower wages), but Australia and Germany are both developed countries with high minimum wages.
You cannot go wrong by picking any statically typed functional language - Reason, Elm, F#, PureScript, Haskell, or even Idris. All of these languages share a similar style of programming that revolve around data that is described through a rich type system and program execution modelled as a series of pure functions that transforms values from one type to another.

For someone new to the Typed FP world though, Reason or Elm would be an easier starting point. Both communities are geared towards newcomers and have first-class support for front-end development.

My brief foray into Elm was very pleasant, and it is a community with great taste and aesthetics. Evan Czaplicki is wise beyond his age and is building a language that will last a long time. One reason why I would reach for ReasonML than Elm however is Reason's zero-overhead interop with Javascript. You can do this right in the middle of your code `[%%bs.raw console.log ("hey")];` and nobody will complain. This interop allows Reason to utilize the vast NPM ecosystem - so you can gradually adopt Reason in your front-end codebase. Your ReactReason code can use your plain React components and vice versa, and you can even use the bs-express library to write NodeJS applications with ExpressJS.

Elm aims to remain pure because it allows them to build a more solid ecosystem in the long run. It is a great choice as well, just that the shorter-term trade-offs make it slightly more difficult to work with existing Javascript code.

One angle in which Reason would be a better beginner language than Haskell is the number of concepts you have to understand before you can be truly productive with it. The shift from an imperative, dynamic world to a functional, statically typed world is already difficult enough. Reason/OCaml makes this transition easier because with it you can program in the familiar imperative style when you want, unlike Haskell where you need to rely on the elegant but takes-some-effort-to-grok Monads to tackle the Awkward Squad of I/O (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/...). And this might be controversial opinion - but the historical roots of Haskell as a language for bleeding-edge academic experimentation has lead to a certain kind of fragmentation that demands more effort from newcomers than a made-for-industry language would need. PureScript and Idris however have standardized on many of these things and might not share the same concerns. You still have to content with its laziness and purity. These are both practical and aesthetic choice in how to program, and they are very fun to explore. You just need to get started on some language in the statically typed FP camp to appreciate this long, deep rabbithole!
Modulo that the email marketing companies (such as MailChimp) that most successfully navigate the harsh waters of spam folder avoidance with the major email providers, enough that you can mostly assume your audience receives the marketing emails, are themselves approaching something of a monopsony and are in the process of becoming gatekeepers asking you to pay for access to your audience.
This is a little misleading. Was there a mass exodus? Absolutely, but it's turned / turning around.

You would be hard pressed to find any decent apartment within a mile of downtown for less than 1k/mo. Many nice apartments in downtown go for $2k - $3k. I personally would love to live downtown and many of my peers share the sentiment, there just needs to be a larger supply of apartments on the market.

Do I want to live four miles away from Detroit in a run down neighborhood? Not particularly- if I'm already getting into my car to drive to work, why not go a few more miles away into any one of the nice suburbs that surround Detroit?
Apple could send out takedown/cease and desist to any and all sellers if they wanted, based on the reviews of counterfeit. They could also connect reviews of "cheap" "counterfeit" goods to the one seller massively undercutting the rest which was also not an authorized seller of Apple products and since Apple is the manufacturer and distributor, they may have been able to eliminate other sellers. Which appears to be what they did. Was this overzealous or a dumb mistake? Maybe, maybe not - it's not clear that H2F wasn't selling counterfeit cases (""H2F also cannot support its conclusory assertion that the iPad cases it sold were genuine because it cannot say how or from whom it acquired them"). But it certainly wasn't a sham and that's the only bar Apple needs to clear for immunity under Noer-Pennington.

Which two? Or did you mean, “all three” rather than “both”?
Well, yeah. In the 90's or early 00's, it would have been both parties with a joint press conference. Now we have 24 hour news and don't need cooperation to get press. At this point working with the other party is just not done. The congressional leadership of both parties has set a course and its going to be this way for a while. In some ways, its just a shift from incumbent protection to trying to gain back seats. Equifax is pretty far down the list politically anyway, so it probably didn't actually do any harm, but it certainly didn't do any good either.

I find it amusing that the polling that has failed for multiple years is being seen as valid this time around.

I've been on Mastodon for a week now and loving it.

But it's a different beast from Twitter. I find it much more socially engaging and interactive. On Twitter, I mostly just followed people and consumed their posts the way I consume an RSS feed. I re-tweeted, but never really posted much on my own or engaged in any kind of dialogue with anyone else.

On Mastodon, I don't really follow anyone. I post a lot of random thoughts on my mind, watch the local timeline and jump into impromptu conversations with people about whatever is striking our fancy at the time. I use it more like an threaded IRC channel or a very ephemeral/rapid-fire bulletin board.
> Things haven't changed much as we've grown up. If you come from a wealthy background, you can keep on trying seed ideas until you find traction. With a more middle-class background, you can put in a small number of attempts, spread between long stretches of saving more money. If you're poor, you'll never have the ability to even try.

This is pretty much correct (though I don't think lower than middle class = poor, but I digress). Some people have better opportunities growing up. Some people can stay in mummy and daddys comfortable house for free while they try and make it big with a startup.

Are you implying that the rest of us shouldn't even bother trying? I really don't want to use "not growing up as rich as mark zuckerburg" as an excuse.

Plywood is the best combination of strength, weathering resistance, and workability of any material I've yet used. MDF is way cheaper, but it is so much weaker pound-for-pound[1].

1: One carpenter I talked to complained that MDF won't hold screws, and apparently this is a common complaint, but if you drill properly sized pilot holes and use sheetmetal screws it's pull-out strength is fine, particularly since you need thicker MDF than ply, so you can use a longer screw.

Interesting, and point well made. Thanks!
Really great breakdown! Another important thing to think about when building out a production or even dev environment are the other associated costs (i.e. bandwidth, storage, egress, etc). We think that these costs can be pretty obscene in the public cloud and we try to optimize as much as possible to keep the total cost down.

This seems false? If iPhone was inspired by Blackberry (no idea if it was) that doesn't imply iPhone was based on Blackberry.
Haskell will take months of brain twisting before you really understand what is going on and can do anything productive. ReasonML, you could be up and running within a week. (Timescales are just a random guess, but you get the idea..)

Plus ReasonML isn't strictly functional. You can have side effects and mutation if you need. Obviously the purists may view this as a negative, but being able to eg. just get a random number without going through a ton of hoops can make things a bit less frustrating - especially if you are unfamiliar with functional.

Once you have a good grasp of functional through ReasonML, Haskell will feel a lot less daunting.

While interesting, I felt the essay didn't make a distinction on end users who eventually decides if the toy product would succeed or not. In an enterprise world, the end users are not looking for fun and often they want solutions to boring problems solved in a boring way (any fun way to solve might come across as being not serious). I can see in a consumer play where the end users are looking for fun, such toy projects could become a viable business when you acquire lot of customers (Facebook for example).

Even so, toy projects are a great negative test (does anyone care?). Even when built for fun, if there are no takers, it's time to quit.
I think that Germany and Australia are pretty safe too. "The cost of safety" is a legitimate thing to consider vs. developing nations, but not vs. other developed nations that seem to get more bang for the buck.
