Yeah, noscript is pretty powerful.

The biggest difference between the two, in my experience, is UX. uMatrix is the best UX for a content blocker I've ever seen - very intuitive and simple.
Theoretically it would be possibly to publish a reproducible compile chain, and as long as required provider secrets are provided separately in the package and read in, and there was a way to checksum individual binaries on Android, that would be an interesting step towards providing assurance of what your phone was running while still allowing them to retain maximum control of the source.

I understand that's a lot of "ifs", but even if it was fully open source, it's hard to use it in anyway that's scale-able, since hardly anyone wants to compile it themselves, and hardly anyone can get it on to their phone by themselves in some ecosystems

It sure would be nice to have some process to ensure my phone was running what I thought it was, even if it required publisher opt-in (and even if it requires I trust the phone OS).
Show HN: Vagrant File for Creating a CentOS VM with GUI
I am surprised that there isn't a ready to use vagrant box or how to setup an virtual machine (VM) of CentOS 6 with GUI without manual steps, but it looks like it's not pretty hard.
Therefore, I create one and want to share with people with similar need.

> I think you don't get security.

I charge $500/hr for security consulting, 1 week minimums, and am fully booked for months out. I have 20 years in security experience. I'd say I "get it".

I specialize in security UX.

Don't mistake my absolute position on what is secure vs what is usable and what will be used. In general I am a critic of U2F.

All the problems you have stated are real, and you are correct, however the way to overcome them is NOT to have the device keep/use the secret "insecurely". Watch Apple's blackhat talk from last year for some insight into the problem and a usability-friendly yet still secure approach.

It's a hard problem, not one that is going to be solved here on HN discussion.
Not using google is actually a piece of cake. Ther are reasonable competitors for nearly all of their services, except maybe translate and maps. Though I have been looking at OSM a lot lately.

I, personally, use an DuckDuckGo, an iPhone and Apple mail. Amazon isn't an issue really- just buy whatever you were going to get on amazon somewhere else - it's pretty rare that I find a noticeable price difference (unless we're talking about the cheap off branded stuff on amazon - but I don't want things like that anyway).
You could rotate Netflix, HBO, and Hulu as long as they retain their libraries.

It selects for people who are comfortable attending an all day meeting.

Embraer do regional (ie smaller ~75 seat range) aircraft. The 747 etc was amazing, but 20+ years ago airlines considered 60% load factor to be normal. (Load factor is what proportion of the seats are occupied.) Nowadays 85% is what they target. Before virtually everyone could get aisle and window seats - now not so much!

The restrooms are not a plane manufacturer thing. The changes happening are Airbus figuring out how to make them smaller. They have to be big enough for a disabled person, but Airbus figured out that you could have two smaller ones next to each that open together to meet the requirements. Galleys and restrooms don't make revenue, so everyone is figuring out how to make them smaller and free up room for more seats. You found one.
From what I've seen, there's very little about social media that isn't shady, both on the service provider side and how other companies use it.

I would assume it would not be allowed for takeoff/landing (no emergency exits) which would mean no ticketed seats.
Credit card data sharing has been around for a while. Fortunately, financial institutions appear to be marginally less pathological about allowing people to control how their personal data is used than certain large social media companies, and there are opt-outs for pretty much all of the major financial institutions.

According to the article, users can also opt out of the tracking on Google's side using Google's privacy controls. However, I think it's probably best to opt out of that data being collected in the first place, since the financial companies are probably selling that data to other companies.

Here's the link for Mastercard: https://www.mastercard.us/en-us/about-mastercard/what-we-do/... (the language is kind of strange - "To opt-out from our anonymization of your personal information to perform data analyses" - I'm hoping it refers to opting out of sharing your anonymized personal info, not opting out of the anonymization so they can sell your un-anonymized personal info, but someone should confirm this by sending them a letter).

Visa users can opt out here: https://usa.visa.com/legal/privacy-policy-opt-out.html (actual opt-out page is https://marketingreportoptout.visa.com/OPTOUT/request.do).

Amex seems to be somewhat better about this, saying "We only share your personal data with third parties where it is necessary to provide you with products or services or as part of the nature of our relationship with you, where we have previously informed or been authorized by you, in connection with our efforts to reduce fraud or criminal activity, or as permitted by law." (source: https://www.americanexpress.com/us/content/customer-privacy-...). Whether anonymized data is considered 'personal data' isn't clear, though - the definition given is "any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual." Whether the "relates to" property persists after anonymization is not specified.

It's also worth noting that opting out of data sharing by a credit card network does not limit data sharing by the bank that issues the card - for that, you probably have to contact them separately (Chase, for instance, has a privacy number you need to call to opt out of data sharing https://www.chase.com/digital/resources/privacy-security/que...).

Why not, it is exactly what should be done. People are mad because he turns out to be one of the best presidents ever, he is just doing the right thing in almost every aspect. He is actually revolutionary rather than conservative, I am sure if he ran as a democrat he would be celebrated by the media.
California has an initiative system. If Big Tech wanted to get more housing built, it could do so, and it wouldn't require any changes in elected officials.
A moral framework is inherently subjective, so it should be no surprise that the rights of the unborn are considered more important in some than others.

Christianity arguably disagrees with you - see the tale of Onan. Buddhists likewise consider all life as sacred, in that an animal may previously/subsequently be a human soul. Lastly, many atheist progressives would argue that preservation of the human race is a moral imperative, and having more total humans rather than less ensures preservation in at least a simplistic mathematical sense.
Very nice guide, debugging a practical example

There is. Usability of such a solution would be low.

You just need a device that you tell it some master key, or that can export it for you. eg a true ($$$$$) HSM can do this, exporting keys that can [only] be imported to another device configured for the same security "world".

Not all disruption is purely technical. In the mattress industry the disruption is more around process. Direct to consumer, service, product iteration with direct customer feedback, more vertical. There are technical innovations (foam chemistry) but that's not something that I would consider disruptive.

Historically, mattress manufacturers (the big brands) sell direct to retailers with little to no customer feedback or service. The stores resell (middlemen adding to the customer cost) with little to no customer feedback passed back to the brands. The supply chain was very difficult to break into because it was guarded from new direct to consumer entrants.
The federal government is trying to take away California's right to set their own vehicle standards. Is anything similar happening with these other energy efficiency standards? I believe there were moves to roll these back too at a federal level, eg trying to kill Energy Star:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2017/03/2...

but if California is able to retain their own standards then these federal proposals would also hopefully be ineffective.
The higher cabin pressure is happening on all recent (large) aircraft designs. It is a result of using more composite materials and humidity control. None of that matters when the seat is smaller than you are though!
There is some evidence that different styles work better for learning different topics but not that different individuals learn better with different styles. So e.g. learners might do better on average learning math when visual learning is emphasized and English when auditory learning is emphasized but a given individual will not learn both subjects better if both emphasize their "preferred" style. (Just examples here, not making any particular claims about learning math vs English)
> What specific things do you not like about git's CLI?

The biggest for me is staging lines. In GitHub desktop you click the line numbers, in the command line (iirc) you navigate through chunks as they appear in the file, maybe splitting them into smaller chunks and hopefully can get it down to what you want.
My problem—hinted at in my opening sentence—is that "CRUD app" has become a vague pejorative with no clear definition. All software reads and writes, there is some hand-wavy sense that software becomes interesting when it has massive scale, or in interesting domains, or embedded, or has tight performance constraints, etc. But what is actually "boring CRUD", it ranges between 5-99.9% of all software depending who you ask.

I think you don't get security.

Security is literally spending resources to protect something. Time is a resource. Space in your brain is a resource.

If I want to secure a city, I spend labor and materials to build a wall. If I want to secure my documents, I spend money on a safe. If I want to secure my emails, I spend brain space and time dealing with passwords.

You can argue that the resource <--> security tradeoff is too expensive and that being insecure is a better choice, but just because something is harder doesn't mean it's less secure. People make that choice every day. When someone reuses a password, they are choosing to not use brain space and instead be less secure.
If I am going to be miserable on an extended flight due to cost, I'd just find somewhere else to go.
What would you suggest and why? Not a loaded question for all the people eager to downvote.
All of them are too big and we need someone like Teddy Roosevelt going on trust busting crusade. This is the second position of POTUS that I agree with (first being merit based immigration, as I'm myself an immigrant). In a weird sense, I think POTUS may achieve it as he is all about anti-establishment.

Now why do I think they deserve Sherman Antitrust investigations (and IANAL).

All of them have control over people's different dimensions of data that nobody has.

- Amazon: With acquisition of Whole Foods they control retail like nobody. Yes, Walmart is trying to make a dent. So does best buy. But they have pretty much monopoly over e-books business when it comes to publishing. Apple already had eBooks settlement.

- Google: They make or break Internet with control over gateway (Chrome), Search (gatekeeper, and promoting their own content) and monetization (Google Doubleclick/Adx is majority of share in ad-tech market for on-walled garden s, good luck competing against it). Given their control and 1B users across multiple platforms they constantly engage in anti-competitive behavior. Read about rise of header bidding and how AdX used to anti-competitive in ad-tech. Google's ad-tech division needs to thoroughly investigated over anti-competitive behavior.

Secondly, Android is free but Google has iron grip over Android using play store. I think gated App Stores are inherently anti-competitive and not in best interests of users and developers. OS should allow multiple app stores and DoJ should go after this. Fortnite already tried to highlight this issue.

Facebook - I think Facebook might be spared as for social they are not the only platform. But given their data scandals

Apple - As I said app stores are inherently anti-competitive. Same thing applies here like Android.

Anyway, these companies can make or break business with their anti-competitive practices. As discussed in another comment, Sherman Antitrust Act doesn't apply in monopoly positions but against businesses that may stifle overall competitive behavior. I strongly believe these companies are even more scarier in telcos as they are wolves in sheep's clothing and always try to play nice.

Low population, but exporting coal-based power to the rest of the country? The top emissions are Wyoming, North Dakota, West Virginia, Alaska, and Louisiana, which are all big energy producers, and energy producers tend to have naturally high emissions.
At least in the Netherlands, I believe a system like this has been in operation for nearly a decade already. This is of course the only way to do "trajectcontrole" ("average speed checking").

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_number-plate_recogni...

And no worries: there are exceptions.

https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2015/09/foreign-diplomats-will...

(note: there are more exceptions, like the royal family and the prime minister, but I couldn't find a good article pointing this out)

And of course, the same system is used to catch people with unpaid government bills (started with just tax bills, but has since been expanded).

Interesting aside: the government itself, of course, refuses to pay it's bills on time, instead having legislated that 2 months payment delay (and in some municipalities more) is all that can be expected of government. And of course, in any payment dispute with the government, private individuals and companies have no such options for redress. If you are 1 day late with your taxes however, you can be arrested and imprisoned, anything belonging to you can be impounded and sold with no recourse and of course extra charges for you.

Police have access to the database of all car plates seen anywhere on the system, and have of course been caught abusing this data, as well as using it in many cases where there was no justification, as determined by a judge afterwards. Needless to say, there is zero news on consequences for any police officer for these for some reason.
How are you defining "hardware" here?

Plenty of HSMs can export secrets. It's straightforward to have them make a regular export, encrypted such that only the backup HSM can read them.

Edit: You simultaneously made a comment saying almost exactly the same thing, so now I really don't understand why you would say anything less than "redo from scratch" is insecure. Is there an unstated assumption of "if you have no other device"? Because that was not clear at all.
Do they tax the bejezus out of them, or do they just not subsidise them as much. The amount governments around the world subsidise cars is ridiculous.
OpenBSD has been accused of breaking embargoes in the past. They are pretty open about their policy of pushing their fix as soon as it's ready and not doing anything to obfuscate what they're fixing and why.

Yes, and the physics of it are even worse than you imagine. If you don't mind a voice/video explanation of this, I found this one worked for people I know [0].

In the air, there is a cascading relationship between the requirements for lift, and the weight of the fuel (batteries). Batteries being, by weight, at least between 40 and 100x times less energy dense than Kerosene, the weight of batteries competing with Kerosene multiplies the real amount of energy required to transport aircraft.

This relationship doesn't hurt so much on the road, since there is generally not much need for lift, and also since there is a straightforward way of recovering the increase in inertia.

Try uMatrix! That's almost exactly what it does. Further, it lets you control requests by type, like stylesheets, images, scripts, XHRs, iframes, etc.

> Despite his numerous (and appreciated) contributions in the past, it has been very clear for quite some time now that he has decided to cease making constructive contributions to the Lerna codebase as well as actively and willfully disregarding the code of conduct that he himself added to the project.

I really wonder what happened here. Being removed from a project based on the code of conduct you added yourself suggests someone either became seriously bitter along the way or a lack of self awareness to begin with.
Why do you need to represent every possibility? You obviously aren't going to squeeze 2^42 objects into 2^42 bytes are you? They each take more than a byte. You don't need to address bytes individually.

Ask HN: Are you a programmer with anxiety? Would you go into work on edible?
I've got a seriously bad case of anxiety in social situations. It basically keeps me separated from other people. It's not fun.

But the other day I went in a little hung over on an edible and it went very well. I was maybe a little duller but a thousand times easier to be around. I've been experimenting with it ever since and there are certainly different kinds of anxiety but generally speaking I think I'm more personable.

Do you have anxiety and have you tried this? Did anyone know? How did it go?

The problem with Alex Jones is not the value, it is that facebook, twitter et al are the de facto city square and the only city square of our times and the first amendment should be applied to them like any other public space.

It is also not fair that some small bakery was forced to bake a cake for a gay couple wedding against their religion but those big companies get away with discriminating who they serve and who they don't, not even doing some specific thing to an Alex Jones event, just serving him in general.

It is even worst because this bakery is a personal business and was forced to actively participate in something against their religion and believes while facebook is a corporation with different people and different believes so nobody can attribute what Alex Jones is saying to someone specific.

What Trump is about and always was about is standing against the oppression of the American people by a small elite which apply two different laws to them and the rest of the country.
