That’s disingenuous on a lot of levels.

First, tools like Streak have been criticized for years. And something like MixMax which is sold as an email marketing platform thing is scuzzy and gross, but it’s fairly clear to the person signing up what it’s for and that it’s for people who send out bulk email for marketing purposes.

Superhuman sells itself as an email client for professionals — it sells itself in similar ways to how Mailbox was presented before the Dropbox acquisition.

The investors and sycophants defending this product might say that it’s clear to everyone that this is just an email tool for marketers, but that’s not how its own webpage sells it. If anything, this is selling itself as an email tool for VCs or people doing biz dev.

And maybe every person doing M&A uses tracking pixels, but that seems like a stretch. And for there to not be an ability to turn the feature off (until the outrage), says a lot to me about the core values that went into designing this product.

I would never pay for something like this or for Streak. I understand that emails I get from a marketing company or a newsletter have tracking pixels. I’m savvy enough to know others might send them too. But I will absolutely push back on the idea that it’s the expected behavior for all or even most emails, let alone willful ignorance.
I'm not a yogi and I admit that my view of yoga as practiced in the west is skewed toward categorizing it more under "fashion and marketing" than "spirituality". But whenever I read something like this article and start delighting myself with the strange joy of seeing something I disagree with being ridiculed, some inner bell tolls the signal that I should know better and that something in the message is probably missing. I just have to look for it a bit longer.

What if all these new age yogis with their sweating ways turned out to be able to perform their 100 surya namaskaras well past the age of 105, would it validate their form of yoga then? Do most people who practice the "traditional way" get to do it way past their 90s?

Every time I see someone pushing the "you're doing it wrong, here's the one true way" message, I have to remind myself that even Buddha insisted that he can only help to guide you in your own quest, but he can't be your master. There is certainly something to learn from all of the ways that yoga is practiced, claiming that you know better simply turns you into a nearly full jar. I'd rather take some and leave some.

Assuming unemployment leads to poverty (e.g. no UBI), then unemployment is absolutely a bad thing. Poverty has a very strong correlation to crime, which is, ummm bad.

Yeah, people use tracking in their day to day jobs in specific contexts. The reason this generated so much outrage is that it’s not the expected behavior (thank God) for all business emails to contain tracking pixels.

This sounds like another planet to me. In Australia it's completely normal to put clothes on the line for anyone that doesn't live in a building of at least several stories. Every house has a clothes line and most apartment blocks have communal ones. Not using them (weather and time permitting) is usually considered laziness. The closest I've come to rules like this is one apartment that didn't allow small lines on the balcony.

Plus, banning clothes lines would ruin one of our most sacred traditions (possibly NSFW) : https://duckduckgo.com/?q=goon+of+fortune&ia=images&iax=imag...
Hearing protection is mandatory in the workshop where I work.

Somehow I managed to start wearing earplugs most of the time while I drive, and more recently have been leaving them in when I go to the supermarket and when I get home. I'll occasionally sleep with them in too.

It certainly does make a difference, in my experience.

In my understanding, this kind of thinking is how the American diet came to be so heavy in meat, sugar, salt, and fat, with such enormous portions.
That seems very nice.

It uses the radio "Quectel EG-25G with worldwide bands". I wonder how well isolated that is from the OS.

I don't think those were ever the goals of TLS, they are just some random things you want or think people want.

What TLS does is:

1) Prevent your local network or ISP from tricking you into visiting a fake pornhub. If you type that in and it loads over TLS, you know you're at the real one.

2) Prevent your local network or ISP from reading any of the data you exchange with pornhub.

This, of course, provides quite a bit of value. It's not everything you want, but it is a big win for many users.
This title needs editing. It has nothing to do with gravity.
Yup. @dang, can you fix this?
Now might be a good opportunity for Pornhub to offer a reskinned version of their site. They already have the infrastructure and people do host non-porn related content there.

Building this was really fun, and I’m very proud of what kd5bjo, Emmett, and many others did to help turn Justin.tv/Twitch into what it is today. We found a way to make what was fundamentally an unprofitable business (if you relied on CDNs) work by relentlessly focusing on reducing cost to the absolute bare minimum through good technology choices and innovating when necessary. Justin.tv would have died otherwise.

I've heard to avoid planting it just in case a wandering cat decides to chew on it.
Everybody knows that the government, three letter agencies, shady marketers and unscrupulous businesses will try to track them or do what would be considered as nasty and evil.

I think the distinction here is that Superhuman put that power (with location information) in literally everybody's hands by default (the wrong default, if one could even consider this as a switch). So someone who normally would be paranoid about a stalking ex would've taken other precautions but wouldn't have guessed that this would be so easy (yes, there are many ways people can personally track others, including using phishing and other covert methods).

So the "manufactured outrage" here is more akin to, if I may be completely hyperbolic for a moment, making it easy for anyone to buy assault weapons or nuclear weapons, when everybody knows that those with evil intentions for the masses (like terrorists) would be able to get them easily anyway.

The traditional yoga has stood the test of time. The Neo-Yoga is fragile to begin with, you need an artificial environment for those "hot"-yoga stuff.

Any good exercise should be accessible, the american "peleton" way of doing things is at best gimmiky. The only redeeming quality of neo-yoga is its much accessible, given the profitability aspect of it.

For maximum return of value stick to the traditional, if it is accessible to you.
That is true, but youtube is full of things which basically violate these principals. I will pick the second item "Extremely dangerous challenges" because its nice and safe/generic to talk about. I think everyone understands what they are talking about, but youtube has tons of instructional videos for doing things which could severely maim/kill careless or poorly trained individuals. The infamous Shanghi tower climb/etc video (83M views on just one of the versions) is actually on the tamer side of this, likely only violating a couple of the guidelines. Even, less scary are all the "this is how you run a table saw" like videos.

So they have broad guidelines that don't seem to be blanket enforced.
No they will not. Netflix might do a boiling frog thingy, but pressure over quarters for rev growth will be their doom

Corporate, ad-supported platforms are inherently prone to arbitrary censorship... they always have been and always will be. If you want freedom, viewer/donation-supported distribution not tied to corporate interests is the only way to go. But, you have to get someone to pay or it all comes crashing down.
Those two are not mutually exclusive, unless you buy the premise that thinner = better (I don't).

A thick laptop with many ports can look just as good as a thin one.
In TLS 1.3, the certificate is now sent encrypted with an ephemeral key. A given IP can serve differwnt certificates depending on SNI, so if SNI can become unsniffable, determining the certificate based on observing traffic to the server as well as generating traffic would be much harder for shared IPs anyway.
It's not you, the mods are complete idiots on HN - best way to kill a healthy discussion/debate before it even starts.
+1 for disabling password auth. On the other hand I find fail2ban pretty useless these days. Most attacks I see seem to come from botnets where you only get a few requests from each IP.

Technology and automation has always eliminated jobs, and has always created more jobs than it eliminated. Most people today are employed doing trivial shit. 200 years ago sectors like advertising, entertainment and media, law, finance, education and healthcare were a tiny fraction of what they are today, and there was certainly no such thing as silicon valley. Job churn today is lower than it was in 1980, things really aren't changing that fast.

Chris Urmson, who is one of the most authoritative voices in self-driving cars doesn't expect autonomous vehicles to be widely available in America for 3-5 decades, which is much slower than the rate at which automobiles swept the nation in the first half of the 20th century.

Just close tabs. Whatever you actually need is in history. Omnibox in modern browsers searches through history as well by default, so often you don't even need to open the history screen. There are also handy "close other tabs" and "close tabs to the right" options when right clicking on a tab. Easy.
What happened to the front page mobile CSS?
On my iPhone the front page of HN seems to lost its mobile CSS.
Correct. IMHO accessing the local filesystem is incompatible with accessing the network from a security standpoint.

I’m fine with having a very clear toggle to allow this behavior for developer types, but this should default to secure.
Heck, anyone offering insider advice or education in many professions and trades should be worried: medicine, nursing, legal, engineering, aviation, maintenance (automotive, aviation, industrial and many more), physics and more.

Thankyou for the link - it's quite interesting. Here's the section:

In its opinion, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court made clear that courts later tasked with determining whether an actor is a “seller” should consider whether the following four factors apply:

(1) Whether the actor is the “only member of the marketing chain available to the injured plaintiff for redress”;

(2) Whether “imposition of strict liability upon the [actor] serves as an incentive to safety”;

(3) Whether the actor is “in a better position than the consumer to prevent the circulation of defective products”; and

(4) Whether “[t]he [actor] can distribute the cost of compensating for injuries resulting from defects by charging for it in his business, i.e., by adjustment of the rental terms.”

If av technology does ever get rolled out in a big way, then I would expect to see suspect a big reduction in the numbers of road/vehicle related deaths.

Now if instead the road deaths stay the same or go up, then naturally that should should also spell the death of av technology.

This article seems to confirm my memory:

“Note: you can turn automatic loading off and gain the privacy benefits of the proxy anyway.”

Not a panacea because sometimes you just need to see the images, but most of the time I never actually need any included images.
You can use other search engines, but the only one Mr. G tells you about is their own, and it consistently features YouTube above other sites.

If this kind of behavior from a market leader isn't a textbook anti-trust concern I don't know what is. It's remarkably similar to Microsoft featuring and promoting its own browser at the expense of others. The level of bundling and integration that they were attempting between IE and Windows, and which ultimately got the DoJ to act, has been going on in Android with Search and Chrome from day one.
Fantastic idea, and honestly Pornhub's values are a good match. They're used to hosting explicit, controversial content, resisting even copyright takedowns (unfortunately), yet they do a good job of keeping outright atrocities off the platform (e.g. snuff films, child porn etc.)

But how would they make money off it? Infosec expats from YouTube are probably the most likely population to use ad-block of anyone!

It's already been solved by the groups using the torrent system to create apps which allow "streaming" torrents. But every time one of these pops up it's immediately struck down by legal blows.
Why is an observation hinting at the key to a problem downvoted? Aren't human factors issues to be learned from in order to avoid them?

(I really do think that this an issue that arises from adjusting a global product to local markets and is not related to the original design.)
Can anyone else advise of some other infosec channels like Null Byte? I want a chance to binge some of this stuff in case they disappear.
I used to think high scalability was something to aspire to. Now I think it's all bullshit.

I once bought every kind of microwave popcorn at my local grocery store. It was about 8 brands, if I remember. This was 10 years ago. Then I popped them all for the same time in the same microwave. I weighed them before and after. Did a blind taste test. Measured value and did a (label) blind ranking of aesthetics. Put it all in some nice graphs and tables and threw the whole thing on a micro site called thepopcornexperiment.com or something with a handful of affiliate links. (It hasn’t been live for years.) I think it made a couple hundred bucks over the course of like 3 years before I finally took it down.

I’m not sure that’s what you’re asking about, but it’s the first thing that came to mind :)
It's harder to argue that reverse engineering is harmed by open source, in a world of software patents and copyright protection that occasionally permits interop, but always prohibits competition

The alternative to working on favorably licensed OSS that you posit, is roundly illegal, unless you had no designs on modification and/or redistribution of a derivative work.

I was wondering what was going on!
Changing lighting and rotation on sensor input is a pretty standard way to improve neural net performance (it's called Data Augmentation), so I'm pretty sure they could answer that.
No, check your history. The southern states didn't become distinctly "red", or republican, until the 90's or 00s in most cases. Can you name a single candidate that had any kind of national appeal that ran on repealing the civil rights act? No.

You might have an argument with regards to abortion. But the civil rights act? Nope.

My point with regards to Bill Clinton should be obvious, he was a Democrat from Arkansas (the deep South). He was governor in the 80s and early 90s. Al Gore was a Senator from Tennessee. Stop with this myth about CRA causing the South to go Republican.
Not sure if it's only me. I have not ever used jump-to-definition feature on my editor. 95% of the time I just use search. But in case of Github web, it makes sense because their search feature isn't on par with local text editors.
But it recommends me videos I remember seeing 5 years ago that just seems unnecessary
Those aren’t automatic, though.
I am not a Web programmer, so what I suggest might be nonsense. Please correct constructively :)

The central statement seems to be:

> “Our implementation of the Same Origin Policy allows every file:// URL to get access to files in the same folder and subfolders.”

What about the following simple mitigations:

* Access by file:// URL to the root and user's home directory proper are forbidden by the browser implementation (Because all subdirectories of the home directory is always a bad idea, root even worse so) Hard-coded, error dialog, period, no way to override short of patching the browser or mounting trickeries.

* Access to any other subdirectories is allowed, but will cause a warning that by proceeding you grant access to the directory and all it's subdirectories. The warning cannot be suppressed by normal settings, but appears only once a day. An average user will not get it frequently, so there is a chance that they read it (and if they click OK without reading it's their problem). And for the Web developer clicking once per day is still easier than configuring an Apache. And ideally they know why they are clicking it.
If there is any group capable of finding a new home and thriving it's the infosec crowd.

This is another move from YouTube to limit their content to more advertising friendly genres. I don't like it but it gives me hope there may be some competitors rise up in that space.
There's less of a clear line between bulk and "business" email than you might think, particularly prospecting email. Looks 1:1 in terms of content, but is sent in bulk and has tracking pixels.

But other than that, I agree. From a privacy perspective, there's some advantage to just being one row of millions in the marketing database; it's the aggregate behavior that they care about, not individual.
have a lot of respect for companies who do this. Just want to chime in from a developing nation perspective.

we have no computers - no laptops, no desktops. All of India is on mobile phones (usually Android). It would be awesome if future educational content is developed mobile only.

Toolkits like Flutter, AWS Lumberyard and React Native allow for ios+android games being built.

The only reason that mobile based education games for children are not as popular as they could be in the US ..is because of the fundamental concern around "smartphones==bad". I think Steam can do a lot here by allowing parental+time based locks around games.

A problem worth solving.

I'm assuming those Mandarin characters comprise the word for that relationship? I was wondering why this existed and I thought maybe they were adding the Hindi words for specific relatives (there's many, I assume the same is true for Mandarin).
Sure, you must always trust someone.

However, you can distribute trust. With open-source software, you distribute trust across many developers, researchers and other users. It doesn't always work. But you're not stuck trusting just one entity.

Another example is Tor. You can't trust any one relay operator. But Tor does onion routing through three relays (guard, middle and exit) and so it's the design that you're trusting. Basically, the difficulty is identifying what relays you're using, and getting data from them. Plus the fact that the routing changes frequently (10 minutes by default) so adversaries would need data from many relays.

Even so, Tor's design can't resist traffic analysis by adversaries with access to global network data, and global attack networks. That was an explicit choice. Because resisting such adversaries would require stuff (random mixing and latency, padding to provide ~constant throughput, etc) that makes the network far less usable, and not scale well.
This basically sums up Google’s internal activists. They’re culturally ignorant and always on the lookout for new forms of outrage.

The white activists effectively shouted down Chinese employees on the topic of a Chinese Search engine.
