No one is responsible for securing IT infrastructure outside the organisations themselves. The CIA is in charge of itself, the FBI ditto, likewise county sheriffs and city police. The NSA is supposed to do this kind of work but mostly it doesn’t because it wants to hack other countries.

Comical incompetence in the government in terms of security is more the rule than the exception for the same reasons as in the private sector. Remember, everyone who ever got a USG background check got exposed.

> In June 2015, the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) announced that it had been the target of a data breach targeting the records of as many as four million people.[1] The final estimate of the number of stolen records is approximately 21.5 million. This includes records of people who had undergone background checks, but who were not necessarily current or former government employees.[2] It has been described by federal officials as among the largest breaches of government data in the history of the United States.[1] Information targeted in the breach included personally identifiable information such as Social Security numbers,[3] as well as names, dates and places of birth, and addresses.[4]

Not devs, but junior devs in particular. Jumping 10 times a year may be for different reasons for experienced people, although some may see it as a red flag.

There is a huge difference between devs that do development for the money and devs that do development because it's engineering. Nothing wrong with this, but it's not a recipe for becoming great developers.

Would you want to work with code monkeys that do whatever they are told to keep/get job or craftsmen that care about what they do?

How can I confirm what you are saying is true regarding the IP address, other than taking your word for it (I heard that worked great with Facebook)?

Why does your privacy policy mention third-party analytics then? Why do you mention “Segment sends the data to Amplitude” in another one of your comments if you claim here that you don’t use any third-party analytics service?

Also, just wondering - why do you need to send anything in the first place? People have been building software just fine for decades before this whole “analytics” plague started going around, and I didn’t notice software quality being improved by it (if anything software has gone significantly downhill).

Ask HN: Good Web Development Forums/Communities?
What ones are there?

Because every such community I've seen has usually been completely overrun by spammers, 'SEO experts', marketers and other people using it to spam links in their signatures with fluff posts.

Or in the case of subreddits, used to promote their content outright, quality be damned.

So are there any good communities that aren't like this? Perhaps where the staff are brutal at keeping fluff posts and spammers out, and where people legitimately want to discuss web development related topics rather than just promote their blogs or ebooks?

The women-only network is tiny. It's true, we rally together and encourage more women to work with us, for fear that the field of STEM will continue to be unbalanced. Where the continued creation of technology is primarily designed by and for the global minority (non-working class men), we lose out on innovation and this affects everyone.

Women make up 48 percent of the total work force, yet only 24 percent of STEM workers

If the menu click data is detailed enough then it may already be personally identifying information. You could take tracking data from another software that collects similar information and using ML match these together and suddently you can get a full name from just a bunch of seemingly innocent data (if the latter software is associated with a name of course).

I don't know what data they collect now or what they will collect later so I am just speculating. But I am sure the ToS has a section about how they can change the terms however they wish.

Please tell me about the great lengths they go to anonymize this data because I believe it to be very difficult to do, and absolutely not in their interest.

> a strong argument against [...] things that require you to run a build on your front-end code

Not really, if it's your own code that requires a build step, then you control that build step and the tools and all and you can have nice auto-reload and fully working source maps and integration with all your other tools...

Do whatever exotic build and transpilation makes you more productive when developing your application's code. But libraries and frameworks... it's not OK to have a large part of the ecosystem dependent on such build tools and at the same time have no usable tooling standardization to easily implement something as basic as "jump to implementation in original source".
Perhaps he shouldn’t bother linking order/chaos with gender at all. There are plenty of arguments you could make that order IS feminine - who, in the American viewpoint, traditionally keeps house, tidies up, makes peace, establishes family routine, is someone you come home to every night? And who is a risk-taker, a go-getter, the one who leaves the comfortable routine and embarks on unknown adventures? I know various literary and psychological arguments about feminine chaos (ooh, the undefinable feminine lack and void! Jungian archetypes!), but what Peterson is trying to get at by this feminine chaos/masculine order thing - apart from a truly boring “the middle way is the best” argument that you point out and which clearly doesn’t require a gender linking to make - is completely unclear.

e: incidentally, if any of Peterson’s theory ramblings do appeal, just go and read Freud, Jung, Lacan, Marx, the Bible etc in the original. They are all vastly more interesting, subtle and worthwhile than Peterson’s jumbled, evo-psyched retelling of them.
It's worth adding to the discussion that Berlusconi's influence has begun way earlier that many people would think .

It is a know fact for example that in early 90ies when journalist Marco Travaglio was strongly criticising Berlusconi, Berlusconi was effectively able to get him fired via his control of the advertising company Publitalia 80.

Advertising was already at the time one of the major source of revenew for newspapers, and Publitalia 80 straight up refused to buy advertising space from newspapers that employed Marco Travaglio.

In the end, Marco Travaglio had to create his own newspaper in order to be able to continue do his job.

This was early 90ies. Immagine what more than twentym (thirty?) years of this have made of public information (both public and private).

3. If Peterson is alt-right then so are you. Because I am pretty sure that in one way or another you associate yourself with someone who likes Peterson whether you know it or not. So you associate yourself with someone who associates themselves with Peterson who in turn associates himself with what you yourself would classify as alt-right. You disgust me you alt-right [insert insult here]. See how these things go? Maybe it´s best if we all just stopped with the stupid mental gymnastics.

1/ What do you mean confirm what I'm saying for the IP address exactly?

2/ I said we don't use any (mobile) SDKs from 3-parties analytics, but we do use their backend (Segment, Amplitude). We send the requests from our anonymous proxy directly to their servers.

I was worried that mobile SDKs would leak other data (iOS version, device size, ...) that I don't want to know about. And as a general rule we don't like to use SDK/code from 3parties for security reasons.

3/ We use analytics to track how many users are using the app, and how many users are using the cleaning features. This data does help us to make strategic decisions.

> What changed is the government is now acting as a cartel for a very small number of companies who are allowed to sell legally.

What's unfortunate in theory, and funny in practice, is that "cannabis clinics" are essentially public on-boarding centres for this entrapment. The people working there aren't any more knowledgeable than a google search and take advantage of people naively thinking this "Medical Marijuana License" is anything other than a permit to get scammed by licensed producers (or cartel members, in this case). A part of the consultation is being taught how to buy from these LPs online as if one has never used amazon.com -- pretty funny to experience while playing dumb.

Here in Halifax, Nova Scotia, we’ve had publicly run cannabis stores since October 1, 2018 and things have been going quite well. Initially there were massive supply shortages, but those have evened out. The remaining complaint is that there aren’t enough brick-and-mortar stores in more rural areas of the province (because only select government run liquor stores can sell cannabis), but online sales make this less of an issue. The whole thing turned from being a spectacle to being quite normal very quickly.
Patents expire in under 20 years, and on apply in the country of issue, I think we're safe in terms of international treaty obligations.

> in reality, a grown man getting so furious at an infant that he fantasises about throwing it is just odd

You are getting that backwards. In reality, people think that way. They get angry with kids. They may even think violent thoughts. Tragically, they may actually be violent.

Any time you make a statement about what's weird about interactions between adults (especially parents) and kids, you should clarify that you do or do not have kids. So, I'll ask, do you have kids? I ask because we can be rational in an HN discussion. Dealing with kids tests that rationality.

> Is this good advice or information for men or women?

Men who are "alpha male" types get more selection. This may or may not be true. The "should" (rational decisions) is a different argument. JP is trying to explain how things ARE (and he could be wrong on that.) That's different from advice and the information is neither good or bad.

1) I mean how can I prove what you’re saying is true as a user? As far as I’m concerned the app is sending a packet to a domain name you control. Nothing guarantees me this is actually a Cloudflare server running your code to remove my IP address. Ten years ago I would’ve just trusted you, but in today’s day and age where everything tries to stalk you in one way or another with full impunity, trust no longer exists.

2) Good thinking!

3) Doesn’t the App Store give you stats on how many people downloaded their app?

Also I’m concerned about “strategic decisions” - so it’s a business behind this app then. What’s the business model? Last time we had a business claiming to unsubscribe you from newsletters... turns out they were actually sharing data with marketing companies, so I’m rightfully concerned.

I think the difference is cultural. I cannot accept lane splitting at high speeds (35mph+) as long as humans still have license to drive. Once we rescind all humans the license to drive, I'm OK with lane splitting.

Think of it this easy. In the four car scenario: how would a bike pass cars that are at the speed limit? By going over the speed limit. Lane splitting by humans (not talking about filtering) ought to be against the law.
