I don't mind people who criticise the NHS. There's lots to criticise about it. I just hate the lazy stupid cunts who rely on groups like the taxpayer's alliance. Almost nothing they say about the NHS is correct.

Can anyone expliain why G Suite (the paid version of Gmail) is not considered safe for data privacy? From the site it says they are encrypted, regularly audited by 3rd parties and not used for ads.

N26 offers loans, insurance managing (both via 3rd party but integrated) and premium accounts as a way for them to make money.
> Monzo, Revolut and Monese

I heard it said that these aren't actual "banks" per se ... whereas N26 is, and is regulated as such.

Just another reason to feel a bit more secure.

Though the additional services Revolut offer have piqued my interest. In particular crypto payments.

The -ve with N26 is that they don't offer much beyond standard current a/c services. No loans or savings for instance, or overdraft, which is all totally fine for what I used it for. I'll fall back on the B&M bitches for the harder stuff.
Hey there, fellow fatalist! My economical-ish education disagrees with you on some points made)

If "good software", whatever it is, is not economically viable, I would gladly walk away feeling good about the future and open a beach bar instead. Currently it seems that faulty design and code are actively harming the businesses. I personally need to make more research around here — what's the connection between, say, conditional spaghetti and anything important? We should at least start talking about these implications. No code is an aisle)

Same goes for "the masses don’t actually want to learn anything" — I see many people getting into web dev right now, and we've made it unreasonably hard to do — why do simple (as in, the ones you can make after a bootcamp) web pages look and work so poor? Word documents from people with a week of training look pretty reasonable.

After having dealt with billing from hospitals for services they never delivered or obscenely overpriced I am inclined not to trust them on statements about their actual cost. In my view the billing practices of most hospitals are very dishonest and intentionally confusing and opaque.

It is annoying you have to choose between USB-C and NFC. I was really hoping I could have both in a new device.

I have a 4C and think it is great - the only downside is the lack of NFC and that only a subset of sites support it, but more are implementing it as time goes on.

I'll probably pick up a 5 as one to store on a keyring for mostly NFC use.
I wish you successful personal transition, why you skipped USB B ?
I use a .me domain myself but I haven't had any spam problems. Although I share it very very sparingly and have a catchall on another domain that I use for signing up with any service / sharing with non-trusted contacts. Even there, the spam problem isn't bothersome.
I like it! Some of my most effective code was written that way but the end result of such development tends to be users that feel "cut out" of the process, as if we did not value their input. And with the wrong users in that dynamic you could be turning water to wine and they will still find things to complain about.

That article is extremely lacking precise data and methodology, but seems to be directly misrepresenting 'revenue' by ignoring costs. There's an ironic joke in the poker world. 'I won $100 this weekend. Oh yeah, but how much did you lose!?' Poorer neighborhoods are generally going also have poorer occupants, higher crime, and related issues. This means vastly greater expenditures on welfare, medicare, various social programs, law enforcement, and more. So you may have received $x in property taxes, but how much did you lose?

Even just consider the crime side of things. How much does a murder cost? There is an immense amount of legal fees, prison fees, police cost, and other related expenses. I really am reluctant to link to a social sciences study, but maybe we can say it's a way to at least start the conversation. This [1] slate article references those numbers. And they're pretty jaw dropping - ranging from $41,288 for a car break in to $17,252,656 for a murder.

We've only considered a small fraction of all costs, yet already those densely packed low income neighborhoods suddenly aren't looking like such a good bet after all.

You don't seriously believe that, do you? Google has an agenda. They don't hire lobbyists on K street to fight for more neutral search results.
I've never seen a Nest that worked the way it was supposed to. The last time I took a look at the one in the office, it had a bizarre set of temperature set-points bouncing around up and down 20-30 degrees F every 5-7 minutes. I have no idea how it got into that state, but it's no wonder that it doesn't work worth a shit. We've also had issues where it was linked to a cellphone app, and got incredibly confused when that cellphone went on vacation to a different timezone...

The best thing to do with them, and most of this other godawful "smart" home tech is to rip it out, smash it with a hammer, and put back the cheap analog versions you had in originally.

Bloomberg analysis gives one point of view.

OECD has published data where you can compares 5-year survival rates after major cancers, heart attack 30-day survival after hospitalization, stroke, ischemic stroke etc. They also keep track of infant mortality, maternal mortality etc. http://stats.oecd.org/index.aspx?DataSetCode=HEALTH_STAT#

Data shows that Japan, South Korea, Israel and Nordics are have the best healthcare quality using these measures. US is often in top 10, or at least mid-tier. Beast cancer is treated very well in US.

But what is wrong with the US and infant mortality and perinatal mortality? How can the US be so low?
While I think there's something to your point here, I wish for the sake of avoiding flamewars per the HN guidelines you could put it in less partisan terms. (For example by avoiding naming specific political parties.)

We'll see. There was barely any uptake of FIDO U2F on the web. Sure there were a few major players, like google, but pretty much nothing financial for the public have taken up anything but insecure SMS/call authentication.

Meanwhile telcos are working hard to convince the public they should all throw in with their insecure telecos accounts as a chain of trust after time and time again showing that your telco account is trivial to steal.

Not convinced on FIDO2, either. It means you need TWO of these devices. One as a backup and another as the common case. Why? Because if you lose a single physical key, you'd have to recover your account. Recovering your account will probably end up being insecure SMS auth or easily socially engineered below-US-min-wage outsourced phone support.
Call it entitlement or petulance; that's a fair criticism. This is first time I've done a non-greenfield project in over decade so perhaps I'm used to having more control. I usually create complete products or the main technology.

The poor design probably won't kill anyone (it's a surgical device) but it will cause a greater cognitive load than is necessary.

I have more than enough work for clients who can appreciate what I can bring to the table. I chose the clients I want to work with.

The client didn't knowingly treat me poorly and there aren't many people who work with this particular technology. (The last one they hired didn't know the technology so they hired me to fix it.) I really don't want to leave the guy in the lurch but, as an artist (metaphorically speaking), I'm not interested in doing paint-by-numbers work.

Indeed! This is why I stopped using it. I love Fastmail, but who knows if I feel that way in 5 years. The entire point of Fastmail + own domain is never being locked in again. Using subdomain addressing locks you in once again.
Not stating Google is intentionally slowing down things - but I've noticed that Google products and only Google products are slow to render, slow to click into the search field of Google Maps, and when I press 'compose' within Gmail on a macbook pro 2017 I can wait easilly 10 seconds before the email bit pops up. Within Chrome however, quick and slick.
Further convinced to go back to FF, darn it after an update and a reboot one hour ago, ctrl+space no longer works with chrome(which worked in the last few years) but it works the same way with anything else, yesterday it's that youtube brought my PC to grinding halt when it's used with crhome(firefox works fine), what's going on Google???

If you read the article, they already proved that Facebook was selling illegal housing ads that were biased racially and they proved that a common parole software was also biased racially. I think it stands to reason there are plenty of other inadvertent, or otherwise, issues out there.
Can you say what you mean in plainer words? Are you saying that the combination of many such incidents likely isn't an accident, but intentional?
I think sometimes that tech guys say these things that are completely unrealistic because they themselves find the thing to be completely reasonable and acceptable. I feel like we don't really have a good understanding of how normal, non-tech centric, people work.

I mean really, satellite phones?

Unless we're planning on moving our entire terrestrial mobile data infrastructure to be satellite based, that's just not practical. To even suggest it is just the height of naiveté.

If someone can already provide her family access to LCD Chinese culture, what benefit is there in her going that extra mile to get access to LCD Western culture? (Ignoring the fact that she's probably not even aware there is a difference between a cell phone and a satellite phone in terms of data access. And please, answer that question from the perspective of the average Chinese female secretary just trying to get her kid fed and put to bed every night. And try to answer honestly.)
Five or ten bucks a year is impossible to attain. The monthly cost of a hosted GB is about a cent. At 25GB, in a service with fast search and, I imagine, regular snapshots and backups, you'll be using up to 200% overhead. Assume that most accounts are not at 100% usage and, in the spirit of a Fermi estimate, set a typical usage of 50GB. You get to an yearly cost of $6.

At $6 cost of hardware per account, now you have to factor in other costs and your profit margin. Support alone will bring you above $10. Marketing will also bring you above $10 on its own. At a decent scale, you can keep the marginal cost of engineering low (as it does not scale linearly), but on a mid-sized operation expect it to bring you above $10 on its own.

All in all, $50/year is high but not stratospheric.

Because one day we'd like to securely authenticate to things on phones in phone browsers. (I agree that it's not a big a deal as one may think; it only matters if you're logging in to a critical service via the browser and not the app. If you're using the app, it's the app's problem to make sure that you're talking to the Correct Service(TM), so phishing concerns go away.)
None of that happens in the current Firefox releases.
noobermin, I don't think this is an accurate comparison, for a few reasons.

First, I'm not proposing that engineers need to write their own FEM tools. I am proposing that engineers understand how FEM works, so that they can understand where it can fail. I would not expect an IT security expert to write his own ssh, but I would expect him to understand the ways in which ssh can fail.

But second, ssh is not like FEM. With ssh, once you have a solid implementation, it sort of doesn't matter what data you put through it. But the issue with FEM analysis is that every FEM model is different, and the generation of those models is almost always algorithmic, not manual. An engineer should have either a freat intuitive feel for how well a FEM model will match reality, or straightforward mathematical ways to double-check the output of an FEM analysis.

I'd strongly suggest people create separate users in the browser, one for daily, one for Google, one for Facebook.
This way in my regular browsing there's no Facebook or Google cookies reporting on what websites I visit.

And with this new change, presumably in your daily profile, your browser remains signed out also.

It's really easy and doesn't impact at all on workflow, if you want your Gmail you just click the user button, and click Google. You could even set that user's homepage to Gmail.

That said, you could also just switch to Firefox or Brave.

(Copy pastaing myself. With an addendum: I don't know if this will actually result in less of your private data compromised, but it seems plausible)
I see these issues everywhere also

I know you probably mean this for software, but it's not limited to just that, and it's as ancient as humans are (or animals, to take it further, they make mistakes as well from time to time). I mean, instead of booking.com messing up (or whatever it was) I've already arrived at a hotel once just to find out there was no trace of my booking. Someone lost the paper or forgot to write it down or so. Turning the human off an on again, a.k.a sleep, also helps with this from time to time and makes it a nasty hard to reproduce bug. And hard to fix as well. I get the analogy only holds - usually - when it's not about bugs which are reproducible time and time again. But on the other hand those are usually easier to discover and fix so maybe less of a problem. tldr; not sure how worrying it is.
I have a Gmail account since it was invite only and I believe also there wasn't any web interface yet so I always used it through a mail client such as Sylpheed, now Claws Mail (https://www.claws-mail.org/). The very few times i had to use the web interface (always Firefox or derivatives) it worked without hitches on FF too, but a few months ago I was doing some maintenance to a customer PC (Debian+Firefox just like all my machines) and noticed how slow the Gmail web interface had become. Switching to the "old" mode helped somewhat to restore some speed, but being used to snappy dedicated mail client it still was truly slow to operate. Unfortunately today every non tech savy user thinks the browser is the internet to the point some don't even know what the word browser mean, which makes even more difficult to convince them to try anything else.
Where a browser struggles with two pages of mails, I can keep available my entire archive since about 2001 on the Claws Mail client, that's over 50K mails in a dozen accounts, and query them to find whatever I need.
I've learnt it the hard way) People, this is the useful tip of the day ^^
Jesus would be the first born, and has preeminence (https://www.blueletterbible.org/faq/don_stewart/don_stewart_...). Christians, when they enter into the family of God are adopted (in the roman sense). Jesus is different because He is God, because He was first, because when He lived on this earth He did no sin and thus when He died his sacrifice was sufficient for sins that were not His own, and because He was God, His sacrifice was sufficient for the sins of all mankind. Our deaths must atone for our own sins and can't be applied to another. According to Christian doctrine, our deaths are not permanent, as all people will be resurrected, either to live with God or to suffer punishment for rejecting Him.
Postbox is pretty swell.
I've had a good experience with Mailspring. It has a clean user interface and sets of key bindings that are similar to email clients like Mail.app, Gmail, and Inbox.
Windows 10 seems to be one huge example of this. It's a travesty of an OS. Below are some of the things which it does to make me want to chuck the entire computer out of a window:

- Overlay the huge "you need some updates" panel, with no option to close the window. Every key input brings you to the update installer.

- Windows Defender frequently ignores my exclude lists, which causes it to start scanning my VM's .vmem files, reading and writing several megs per second to disk, causing my VM to be unresponsive for 20+ minutes if I do not restart my entire system.

- The new search options in the task bar seem to have gotten worse since Windows 7. Whenever I start typing something like 'not', it shows me Notepad++. When I then add the 'e', the options disappears.

- Lately, my Windows 10 has decided whenever I boot up a system, it should restart all processes that were active when I shut it down before I have had time to even log in, which is kind of a fucking bother when I had loud music playing in the background when I shut it down.

- All the goddamn bloatware on it. I know that when I buy a DELL or HP, I'll have to completely reinstall the system to get rid of the bloatware, but Win10 comes with its own set of it for some reason.

- All the 'smooth' animations, which slow the UX just enough to be frustrating. Don't slowly slide up the start menu, just pop it into place!
Firefox has a feature called "Containers", which is kind of this concept but with perhaps a better UX.

Booking.com also has some really bad checking for email adresses, which is why I often find reservations in my account for people who enter my email adress instead of theirs in the booking email field (I have a booking.com account with that email, they don't, but the booking still gets tacked to my account - it cost me nothing, but I could change their reservation if I wanted to)

How to Read an S-1
The spec doesn't insist on it, but that's how Yubico devices do it, yes. It's the straightforward thing to do when your scheme eventually relies on ECDH and there's an obvious and performant way to go from a base secret to a specific-use secret (via a KDF, here HMAC) to a public key (via scalarmult). It'd be less straightforward if your key generation is expensive and complicated.
Although I like the control and portability of having my own domain, as a less technologically-proficient user on a shoestring budget, I've found it more challenging to set up and configure on shared hosting services. There's a need to get your head around things like DNS records, reverse DNS, DKIM, SPF, SpamAssassin, cPanel etc. to stand a reasonable chance of successful delivery and low-maintenance inboxes. I've been through a few hosts and fortunately seem to have settled with a reliable provider now (Squidix), but it's not always been so easy.
In the US, we make services used by the poor inconvenient and ineffective in order to (ahem) motivate people to not be poor. Lousy results are to be expected for that segment of the population.
