I don't think it's "nationalist outrage". The outrage is over violating the rules, as many developers and scientists on HN have done work for the government, and followed the rules. I believe you are seeing a connection (given US government and US commenters) that simply isn't there. Correlation doesn't equal causation; that's a first rule of science.
How to Get from App Idea to Implementation
As mjevans says above, it's fine if they tell you there's a problem, but you should never try to solve that problem over the phone based on a call by a stranger.

Unless you know exactly what you're doing, what you should do in the case of any over-the-phone problem like that, is first contact someone you trust and knows what they're doing. Your own bank, an expert of your choosing (and not chosen by the stranger on the phone), or a knowledgeable friend or family member.

Never trust the stranger on the phone.
I’m working on Newsy.

https://www.newsy.co

I have quite a few domain names that I have purchased over the years that I am not doing anything with at the moment.

I wanted minimal amount of work to make a good use out of these domains.

So I built Newsy. It turns your idle domain into a news aggregator.

I’m nearly there. You can sign up and I’ll invite you to check it out!
Working on https://LightSheets.app, a spreadsheet application allowing high performance data science type tasks like cleaning big chunks of data. I'm also doing a lot of exploratory coding around how far the spreadsheet concept can be pushed to "augment human intelligence", which has led me to read a lot of papers about this area. One thing I'm very interested in is how we can allow machine intelligence to "take the initiative" during the course of human work.

Hopefully in 2020 this means more than simply resurrecting a clone of MS Office's Clippy...
Yeah, I tried looking through my Facebook logs, and couldn't find anything. I would have expected that if I leave a comment on a website, Facebook would keep a log of that for me to see.
This is anecdotal, but I remember reading an article about a dentist who was convicted of doing expensive and completely unnecessary surgeries on many of his patients, to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars per patient in some cases. I can't find the article, unfortunately.

From a story telling perspective it surprised me that vinton animation turned into Laika after being taken over by the “evil investor” and his “good-for-nothing son”.

Laika makes amazing movies with great craft and creativity - a stark contrast to how the article tries to portrait the studio.

Knowing nothing about Laikas history, I wholly expected it to be Vinton who started Laika when I saw that name in the heading.

Another thing I found peculiar/amusing. As an investor, Knight was reluctant to invest more than five millions. As an owner he readily threw hundreds of millions i to the company.
Sure, or just ask them here if you think they would be of general interest.
I was going to reply that I thought the point of the video/tweet is that JS does choose floating point by default while others don't. But I stand corrected, C# default sucks too: it uses the double type!

And here I thought that by using F# I would even be protected from this shit but unfortunately it has the same problem... Performance should be opt-in! (favouring correctness over it) :facepalm:

Depends on your region and the name in question. e.g. macquarie (https://www.macquariedictionary.com.au/resources/view/resour...) say:

> Personal names ending in s are these days often given the regular apostrophe s, whatever their number of syllables or their sound:

>

> Burns's poetry

> Dickens's novels

>

> Those who have occasion to refer to classical or biblical names of several syllables may still prefer the apostrophe alone, as with:

>

> Jesus' teachings

> Moses' law

> Euripides' plays
We can't know for sure it's not malicious. It could be keeping a list of names, IPs, and profile pictures, (and maybe browser, OS, timezone, time) and publishing or selling them.
The example does not appear to work in Safari on iOS; for some reason the Facebook comment form doesnt seem to stay focused. (I also don’t have a Facebook account.)
> GA hasn't been picked up is that it actually isn't that great when you're out of the math theoryland

Personal anecdata: I regularly do like 3–4 pages of obnoxious scratchwork in terms of coordinates, get stuck, feel like I’ve probably made some trivial errors along the way, etc., experience deja vu, and then recast everything in GA.

Then the alternative work-through ends up taking like 3–5 lines of simple algebra, with a clear geometric interpretation for every step, and way less hassle.

This has now happened maybe a dozen times over the past few years. Maybe I’ll eventually learn better and start out in GA land.
Thanks for the catch, off the top of my head I remembered that India was #3 but didn't realize how far below the US they were.

I still think the basic thesis I am driving at holds, instead of cleaning up their act 20 years ago, multinational corporations shipped all of these polluting jobs to nations where it was OK to pollute, acting as a sort of escape valve which allowed them to continue belching carbon into the air and keep their profits high.

US and EU industry are among the cleanest in the world and asking the working class in these places to make more sacrifices is a slap in the face which has been going on for years. The Kyoto Protocol established no carbon targets for developing countries. The Paris Agreement established targets but they were laxer than the targets for developed countries.

This is a decarbonization strategy designed to optimize the profits of multinational corporations. If the working and middle classes don't push back it will continue, but corporate-owned media is ready to put Greta Thunberg on stage at every opportunity and shame you for questioning any part of the party line on climate change.

I'm trying to get people to sleep better by providing them relevant sleep coaching by combing their sleep tracker’s data with CBT-I derived sleep coaching program. Been working on this project for a year now, and it’s finally starting to take the shape I wanted it to have.

I don't think it matters whether your PC is a server, attacks using publicly known exploits are generally indiscriminate.

Re: CVE-2019-17026 - Mozilla themselves state that it affects Thunderbird, but you're right, these JS issues might not be possible to exploit with just a malicious email as the attack vector.

So how about CVE-2019-11703, CVE-2019-11704, CVE-2019-11705 (aka MFSA2019-17)? It's a serious issue that gives RCE in Thunderbird 52.9.1. Is this issue reachable from an *.ics attachment, or will something happen without interaction if you have Lightning installed or receive a malicious calendar invite? This is still quite new and the bugzilla is still private.

CVE-2019-11713 gives RCE if any embedded images are reached over HTTP/2, that seems very plausible. At least you have the defense that images aren't loaded by default. Do you ever load images in emails?

CVE-2018-18500 is an older RCE but unpatched as well. This one is really interesting - I don't know if custom HTML elements are rendered in emails, but this issue happens in the parser before rendering so it's probably exploitable, the HTML is always parsed at least.

Less interesting but still plausible are the ones like CVE-2019-11740 and CVE-2019-11709 and their ilk, there's a new one of these with every Firefox platform update where nobody has (publicly) researched the details, but the patch is there for reversing so given the economic calculus I'm sure someone out there has put the effort in.

And finishing off with CVE-2019-11707 and other Javascript things like that, if you have any extensions installed that can be convinced to call the affected function in an exploitable way. If you're stuck on 52.x it's likely for extension reasons, and it's also likely your extensions themselves are no longer getting updates and have their own attack surface.

Having looked into the list of CVEs more closely, this is an impressively short list for a 18-month old version of any program (skipping over all the XSS issues and sandbox escapes). But I would give up extensions in a heartbeat versus trusting my personal email account to any one of these.
Part of it is also the time it takes to eat healthy. Cooking for me is 20 minutes cooking and prepping, 20 minutes eating, and 20 minutes cleaning up.

I have the time to spend an hour feeding myself dinner every day, plus the time for the other meals. Not a lot of people do, however.

If you are working two jobs and have to make two shifts in a day, it's a lot easier to just grab food from the McDonalds you were passing by anyway, cram a handful into your mouth on your way home, drop a happy meal in front of the kids before changing out then in to your uniform, and heading to the next job across town, especially if the bus is slow.

>Ironically, a switch to a more truly capitalistic situation where businesses had to make money in the marketplace instead of rent seeking for conducive fed policy would probably be less friendly to large business interests on average.

You focus so much attention on the Fed you lose sight of the fact that rent seeking would shift from the Fed to the Customer.

The problem is fundamentally tied to conservative investment behavior. Given a rational choice, most people lend money to the people most likely to pay it back which are the same entrenched players the lenders are already dealing with.

Throw in the wage growth stagnation incentivized in order to put on the appearance of bigger growth numbers, and you develop a clot in the flow of money to the labor class, therefore decreased mobility from the labor to capital side of things.

Throw in hyperoptimization facilitated value deserts around rapidly consolidating industries, and you have a perfect positive feedback loop to enable wealth extraction from the middle class, while the capital wielders are scratching their heads wondering where all the new blood is.

Crushed with debt, bled dry by the XaaS revolution, exorbitant uncontrolled healthcare costs, and in a distorted market in which the name of the game is to try to keep people buying for the love of God.

Agriculture is already starting to suffer from over consolidation of the dairy industry since Walmart's vertical integration combined with USDA policies favoring the hyperoptimized industrial farmer over everyone else.

Something has to give. Will be interesting toseewho throws up their hands first; Bankers, Business, the Fed, or Labor.

I'm a total advocate of university education. But the education you get is totally up to you. You can attend the best university but if you do the minimum you will only get a diploma without much learning. There are careers where the diploma you receive will dictate what type of job you will get after you finish. Tech careers are a bit different. Tech careers are about what you know and what you can do so a degree from a prestigious college is nice but it will not dictate your future career potential.

My suggestion for you is to talk to a career advisor and let her guide you on what college to attend given your needs and situation. The primary thing you need to keep in mind is that your success is all about how much effort you put into your education. This includes what the school teaches you plus the effort you put outside the class.

For me, I would have attended CalTech but that's only a want. I didn't have the ability to focus my efforts to have succeeded there.
> As far as that means as an end user, it means that you no longer need to recompile your wireguard module every time there's a kernel update, as now it will be handled by your distro.

That's not the important point.

The point being, when merged as part of the kernel officially, you know it will get more support and eyes for stability and development power as the kernel wouldn't want to ship anything that's at some unstable state.

So you can expect long term usage and maybe RedHat might pick it up as its official VPN solution instead of libreswan some day.

Polyphase channelizers. I got interested in software defined radios, which lead me to getting a HackRF one, and that lead to learning how to build SDRs, and that lead to joining a company that was building cutting edge SDRs for really diverse tasks, and that lead me to diving into DSP and the mathematics of radios, which lead me into modern protocols and modulation schemes which lead me to various people doing experimental RF work and started noodling on what an SPU (Spectrum Processing Unit analog to a GPU) might look like and that lead me to Dr. Fred Harris' work on polyphase filters and channelizers and now I'm internalizing all of that so that I can build a device that processes spectrum in new and novel ways.
I may be just tripping over semantics here, but how can you consider data that may still be automatically rolled back to be “committed”? I thought that’s supposed to mean the data has been fully stored such that it can only be changed/removed by a subsequent transaction.
There sure has been a shift though. You'd be just the guy to shed some light on these changes.

For example, when did flagged comments become unreadable, rather than simply folded up by default? I'd like to see the logic on that one, if any was given at all.

Was there an algorithm change that lets popular stories under active discussion on touchy subjects get disappeared with a few flags, or was that here from the start too?

Are there any logs you can point me to that would reveal the scale of removed stories over time?
An alternate solution that I am considering and will try if and when it becomes available is to create a new or even parameterized renderer. Druid-Shell is an up and coming option by Raph Levien and company. I've also considered pathfinder. There will be more options as time goes on and I would like to make the system modular enough to explore them.
We use Razorpay. APIs are well documented and extremely easy to use. Never experienced any downtime either. (Our transaction count is pretty low, though :P)
I'm currently working on ways to disconnect better at the end of the day. So far, I've figured out how to create an "inverse Screen Time" on iOS so it locks me out of most of my phone except for a 3 hour window in the evening that ends one hour before bedtime. I've also began using timers to keep track of how much time each of my daily tasks are eating up.

Also the usual stuff. Hitting the gym (30 min a day, 5x a week), clearing out junk I don't need anymore, multivitamin, etc. 2020 is going to be the year of wellness for me.

EDIT: Forgot to mention this, DELETE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA APPS. All of them. Use the mobile websites if you need to read them. Not having the icons on my home screen or app drawer made all the difference and really helped fix my cyberaddiction.

The service file for systemd looks pretty simple, so that's probably not a problem to port to some other init system.

But what's in the "nearly" above, do you have some other concrete requirements for the distro? Any technical reason very small busybox-based systems would be unable to support your agent?

It does look very nice. It's a shame that it depends on third parties for authentication, and that they have gems like this in their documentation:

> No app-level integration or reconfiguration is required, because security is built into the network itself. If you configure your network to require Tailscale, every one of your internal services will be subject to multi-factor authentication.

Which is simply not true. I've had 2FA for my Cisco AnyConnect VPN for years. That does not mean my applications I access through the VPN are now magically subject to MFA.

Maybe in time this may end up being viable for me, and maybe it already is for other people. For now, I'd rather my VPN didn't depend on Google, Microsoft, Okta, etc.
I recommend the app HealthFit which can sync Workouts data with pretty much everything else, including Strava. It also allows you automatically export FIT and GPX files to Dropbox if you’d like. It can’t yet automatically sync Runkeeper though.

What do you mean by manually? There are several tools used for penitration testing each with a specific purpose.

For example, if you wanted to access a secure wifi network you may use a particular tool but if you wanted to break a password you would use another.

Beyond tools there are also specific techniques used to penitrate SQL databases etc..

I purposely have been vague and not named the tools and techniques for doing this.

That being said, there is a certain live linux distribution that starts with K and ends with ALI which has alot of pentest tools pre installed and I see no reason why you couldn't write a Bash script to "automate" things.
You also send your number as part of the invite. Responsible VoIP providers limit this to numbers you own, but it's totally possible to send calls using a number you don't own. There are CNAM databases but not all carriers make use of them and they aren't a source of truth. How would your solution deal with numbers which go back into a carriers pool? How would your solution deal with newly claimed numbers? How do you verify the numbers on file for an organization?
