Cool. Jquery has helped me a lot over the years in my job. Jquery plugins have saved my ass countless times. I would only use them sparingly, such as slideshow carousels, which are too difficult to whip one up when client needs it 5 min ago.

I love having an API into the jquery plugin and getting things done quickly and efficiently, and giving credit to the developer who kindly gave it away for free.

This is why jquery doesn't belong on a list with "blink" tag which everyone hates because it's a flawed tag that should be forgotten, much like over-use of animated gifs.

Anyway.. good luck breaking free of the bubble!
An easier and more robust solution is to have expiring laws. Laws require a 'refresh' 2, 4 and then each 8 years after they're passed. If at any point they do not receive the a majority vote, they're scrapped.

So many laws scrape through as the result of extreme "lobbying" and "productive donations". This investment of time and money is rewarded by the fact that once laws are passed they are extremely rarely overturned. Expiring laws would also help work against this sort of corruption. It would also help with things like the 'Patriot Act.' That bill was passed when the country was in a state of mindless panic, yet it lingers today. The government doesn't want to get rid of it since it massively expands their power, but at the same time - if they actually had to vote on it again, it would be extremely difficult to justify.

And finally it might make our legal code begin to be somewhat comprehensible. That you, without question, need to be a professional just to understand our legal code. And that even within that profession there are countless areas of expertise -- that is quite absurd. How can people be expected to obey (or critique) a system of law that they are in no way expected to have even the faintest grasp of, other than in the most broad meaningless strokes?

I believe GP was being sarcastic... That said, while I don't mind free food and drinks, I also don't mind taking care of it on my own. The only difference is if there is a weekly event for all company with food + drink, sort of a gathering. That does wonders for morale.

Show HN: Whats New – A hosted way to let your users know what's new
It's not exactly PGP's security model, but:
- if you use SMTP-via-TLS and (IMAP/POP/MAPI)-via-TLS, attackers really can't intercept your mail
- unauthenticated encryption still protects your mail spool at rest.

Of course, attackers gaining access to your mailbox is still game over, due to password resets etc. via e-mail; but "attackers can't intercept your mail" is a more realistic assumption in 2018 than it was when PGP was designed.
The problem of ocean plastic isn't an issue of plastic use. It's about disposal. That sandwich bag used at a California Whole Foods is going to a landfill, not a deep sea trench. Landfill's aren't pretty or environmentally good, but a bag in a landfill is infinitely better than one wrapped around a baby turtle.

90+% of Ocean plastic comes from ten rivers, none of which are in north America or Europe. (See 100s of articles based on a study published last november.) This is a cultural issue. We don't need to stop using plastics in the west. We need the east to stop throwing plastics into rivers. In that sense, the problem is much easier. We don't need to invent new schemes or hamper development. We just need people in some countries to do what other have been doing for generations: stop treating waterways as trash disposals. That is not a big ask.

> And the grounds are that the system is designed in a way that you literally make money burning electricity, so as long as electricity is cheaper than payoff somewhere (or you can steal some), there's strong incentive for everyone to try and burn energy.

Which increases energy costs until that profit gets small.

As long as there is a more valuable use for energy than getting a 0.1% profit mining Bitcoin, I don't see why mining would ever consume all energy, that's ridiculous.
> Payment processors have also been known to discriminate against perfectly legal businesses for a long list of random things some old jackass in a suit decided were too 'unsavory'.

Typically, it's because of fraud, not unsavory-ness. Fraud on the customer's side, not the business'.

The solution to that is not making every transaction put the weight of fraud solely on the customer.

So the other way around: I would love to see tech recruiters with actual technical understanding.
Your comment is addressed in the post, twice.
In my opinion:

- designing your resume

- EQ

- having a deep, enthusiastic, and genuine interest in some aspect of the company

- Think of your resume like a poem

- visual representation of their experience/resume

These are great criteria for hiring a designer or marketing personnel, but these are TERRIBLE criteria for hiring a technical person.

In my fantasy world, a technical resume is in a monospaced font and is eminently readable; I would expect the resume to look good in a code editor.

My fantasy applicant would be very precise in the tech they list, and when asked questions, they would gripe about that technology all day long; if they can't complain about its shortcomings and pitfalls, they didn't use it.

They would not match the job criteria on the posting exactly, because the criteria on the job posting is for some fantasy developer that doesn't actually exist. I would instead expect them to have figured out the core of the actual stack and list it instead.

Sadly, my fantasy world doesn't exist, and we have to pretend we're designers to work around people like this who have no idea how to hire actual technical people.
Great idea. I have to take out bio waste every couple of days just because of the smell.
The point is to simultaneously satiate the public's need for retribution, while also keeping people's lives from falling apart. If the public didn't demand retribution, this wouldn't be an issue.
The naive name for this product bundling would be Google Bundle, GBundle, but that would rub regulators the wrong way.

The first rule of UX and branding is: don't make me think. Using a digit in a brand name is a question mark, just like Google Plus. Or was it Google+? It gets in the way of the meat of your message.

Why would Google would rub up against Microsoft OneDrive with Google (One?) Drive? Is it going to be Google1? 1Google? OneGoogle?

The Google Bundle/Spire thing could be called Google Together, or Google Everything, or Google Red, and it would be as effective without the confusion.

I don't know what this is and the brand confusion pushes me toward other more clearly defined storage services. I pay for Dropbox...because I know what it does and it won't go away.

NO, an empty gas tank has a lot of gasoline vapors mixed in that air - the concentration is high enough that the vapors will not burn. One of the advantages of gasoline is it will only burn in a fairly narrow window of concentration (IIRC 5-30%, but since I don't feel like looking it up you will have to if you care)

And don't go around me and change my resume without telling me.
I'd say both exist in every person. I'm a software engineer with some design background. I got into programming because after trying to get into design, I found it wasn't my thing, but I've had many employers that wanted me to fill in the gaps the design team left open which I hated doing. It comes down to learning what motivates each employee individually. Companies spend so much money on surveillance and productivity monitoring, but don't spend much if anything on taking inventory of employee skills and strengths.
It's a bummer that this looks to be a turnkey kit that does exactly what I would imagine is the most fun part of building an ISP: network engineering, building routing hardware, etc...

I see that your own ISP relies on PPPoE... is that a decision you intend to rely on for the necto lab customers (other ISPs) or was that something you had to do specifically in your own case? Have you seen any downsides to that? I know as a consumer PPPoE is kind of a pain in the butt.

Hi everyone, I've put together Whats New App to scratch my own itch. It's a simple way to let your users know what's new in your app/website by copy/pasting a javascript snippet.

When it detects an existing user (identified by a user id, email, or whatever you'd like to use), it'll show them the new updates since the last time they visited.

It's helped me in a few of my projects keep users up to date. It's very new/beta. If you don't ant to sign up to check it out, here's a slightly older video demo: https://youtu.be/n4vmIsw2N3k

I'd love to know what you all think and I'm happy to answer any questions.

Icons take up less space on the screen, which is useful if you are using a smaller browser window (or a phone screen).
> But popular mainstream GPG clients don't honor that warning, which doesn't say "Stop, don't process this plaintext I am showing you", but rather "message was not integrity protected".

As more information is coming out, it begins to seem that this is not the case: it looks like most GPG clients do detect the warning/error.

Looking at the table in the paper, most clients weren't vulnerable when using GPG rather than S/MIME.

Thunderbird is listed as vulnerable and would count as a popular mainstream client using GnuPG, but it appears that it (ie, enigmail) is not in fact vulnerable:

https://twitter.com/robertjhansen/status/995977877375070209

According to https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2018-May/06033..., if a gnupg client uses --status-fd and there's no MDC, it will get

[GNUPG:] DECRYPTION_FAILED

and it won't get the usual

[GNUPG:] DECRYPTION_OKAY

Further, according to the paper gnupg "returns an error code" in this case, which I take to mean a nonzero exit status.

It that's true, I don't think the situation is at all as bad as you make out.

AIUI using --status-fd has been the usual thing for clients for a decade or so (it isn't a matter of "oh, didn't you know you should use --status-fd, I'm sure it's in the small print somewhere").
These aren't "technical recruiters" they're recruiter's of technical professionals.
An envelope icon can also mean "mark as read" in GMail. It's like a treasure hunt, but for your email. Fun[1]!

Was I the only one who thought about Y.T's mother reading the bathroom tissue memo in Neal Stephenson's "Snow Crash" (quoting below)?

Y.T.'s mom pulls up the new memo, checks the time, and starts reading it. The estimated reading time is 15.62 minutes. Later, when Marietta does her end-of-day statistical roundup, sitting in her private office at 9:00 P.M., she will see the name of each employee and next to it, the amount of time spent reading this memo...

Y.T.'s mom decides to spend between fourteen and fifteen minutes reading the memo. It's better for younger workers to spend too long, to show that they're careful, not cocky. It's better for older workers to go a little fast, to show good management potential. She's pushing forty. She scans through the memo, hitting the Page Down button at reasonably regular intervals, occasionally paging back up to pretend to reread some earlier section. The computer is going to notice all this. It approves of rereading. It's a small thing, but over a decade or so this stuff really shows up on your work-habits summary.
Also, Econ 101 is essentially a naïve exercise in optimizing price-demand curves (find where f'(x) = 0), which assumes prices always converge on a supply-demand equilibrium point.

Another model, found in utilities, fixes the cost point, so when demand falls, prices rise. Did you ever buy into your electric company's "conservation program" and cut your consumption, only to have your rates rise?

Congrats, you just got rick-rolled by capitalism, comrade sucker.
I gotta say, flywheels are rad. They have all kinds of cool applications including moving satelites, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_wheel.
That should be illegal. Especially if it's contract/contract-to-hire.
Maybe they forgot about it, or assumed that it was a different vulnerability especially since the original was a non-issue. Not a terrible thing to assume when the last communication with them was 6 months ago and they did not bother to give them the new paper.
IMHO, the only unethical part on the side of the researchers is that they spread the whole "GPG is vulnerable!" FUD and went directly to the media when they had been informed that this is not a GPG issue beforehand. The other unethical part is that the EFF and the media companies did not bother to take GPG's side of the story.
It's possible this is because of the context. All of these recruiters/talent managers are from companies who have engineering profiles on Key Values. Their team has already spent a lot of time articulating what their engineering values are with the hope of connecting with engineers who share them.
The old people die, and the young can repeat the actions of the old.

Sometimes they make new good things, sometimes they repeat bad old things. I call it social mutation.

They spend too little. The problems that real design solves have nothing to do with this. Anyone can just pick icons from a library and make them buttons. How easy is to blame a designer for these choices.

People who say "design for the sake of design" are exactly the people who need design.

For starters, everything is designed. Show me one human-produced thing that wasn't actually consciously designed by someone. Is that design for the sake of design?
There's a difference between good design and bad design. It's important to learn how to tell the difference, but more important to learn how critical to success is good design (regardless if it comes from a trained designer or not.)
Making laws sunset (except, say, with a supermajority) is one of my favorite hypothetical amendments, but I think it's arguably even more revolutionary than court review of non-challenged laws...

I don't think I've ever shrunk that panel since I didn't even know how to do that, so I would think that the shrunk version is the default.

John mentioning his NeXT computer in this post reminded me of his NeXT computer purchase story from Masters of Doom:

"On a cold winter day, Carmack laced up his shoes, slipped on his jacket, and headed out into the Madison snow. The town was blanketed in the stuff, cars caked in frost, trees dangling ice. Carmack endured the chill because he had no car; he'd sold the MGB long before. It was easy enough for him to shut out the weather, just like he could, when necessary, shut Tom and Romero's antics out of his mind. He was on a mission.

Carmack stepped into the local bank and requested a cashier's check for $11,000. The money was for a NeXT computer, the latest machine from Steve Jobs, cocreator of Apple. The NeXT, a stealth black cube, surpassed the promise of Jobs's earlier machines by incorporating NeXTSTEP, a powerful system tailor-made for custom software development. The market for PCs and games was exploding, and this was the perfect tool to create more dynamic titles for the increasingly viable gaming platform. It was the ultimate Christmas present for the ultimate in young graphics programmers, Carmack."
Unless they don't. Can you hop over these gates?
You don't need an encyclopedic knowledge of the full breadth of IP law to know what someone means when they say "IP law".

Nobody is confused about what is being referred to when someone says "IP", except people like Stallman (and maybe you) who are trying to score gotchas by pretending you can't talk about complex things in simplified terms.
I think you didn't notice the connection between "bringing down recividism rates should be a priority for everyone" and "when they leave prison". Make that "if they leave prison". Recividism is zero if they never leave.
The idea that you can combine full hypertext and security is absurd. IMNHO this is the most significant problem with email (and many "secure" messaging stacks that allow "rich content"). Sure, it's possible to define a secure subset of html (basically bold/italics/underline, tables and headers).

But everyone adds transclusion (in-line rendering of linked content, which leaks data and opens up the door to bugs), fonts (ie: programs), images (historically not a great idea), and some even Javascript!

And that's not even all the muas that runs in the browser, and try to expose some safe subset of itself to be used for rendering the mail body.

So, html Email is insecure, when contrasted with plain text email.

Using pgp as "code signing" for hypertext applications ("html emails") isn't nearly enough.

Sadly, afaik there's no agreed "safe" rich text format for mail. Absurdly rtf would probably be better than html mail.

Anyway, I don't see how anyone could expect html mail to be safe in the first place.
For open source projects, it makes sense. Otherwise, why should HN spend its time solving a for profit company's product flaws?
Your argument is "everybody on the planet including all corporations and governments should instantly abandon email for an instant messenger thing instead of which there are many and no federation" which is a bullshit argument and you damn well know it. FFS, how often over the decades in security have we had to make do with highly suboptimal solutions that were the lesser of evils? When did you of all people become a head-and-feet-in-the-clouds pure idealist?

It's like coming into a global warming discussion and demanding everyone forgo personalized point-to-point mechanized transportation because of inherent inefficiencies vs mass transport. Or saying IRC is shit and therefor everyone should move to mailing lists or whatever. It's worse then even suggesting moving to something that's still "groups in 'rooms' with instant messaging" which at least is a technical feature match, it's suggesting dropping an entire UX. It's not happening. Path dependency is a thing, and so are specific desirable features that can be used alongside other channels for different tasks.

I gave reasons. You're the one implying everyone who doesn't dump a straight forward, desirable UX global standard for a bunch of silo'd different formats are idiots/old fogies/don't care about security/privacy at all. The very simple fact that even accepting dumping that UX for messaging service you still couldn't simply say "switch to this only" but had to list a couple of things further highlights the whole problem. Is every individual and organization on the planet also supposed to support every single secure messenger? If not what is the winner vs the losers tptacek? Saying I had no argument but"no" and ignoring everything else is insulting sure, but I also think it's not a helpful attitude to making the world a more secure place period.
