There's maybe a small proportion of people falling into this category but since the bans are automated and triggered on obscure rules outside of the account's owner knowledge, I would argue a that a good proportion of bans are just random. The fact that support is close to non-existent just makes it worse for sure.

I had myself an account banned and I can assure you it's really totally random.
The same thing happened to me, I happened to notice and set up the forwarding the day I lost access to the account. I feel pretty lucky for that, it made leaving much easier.
What i struggle the most when coming to a new language is the tooling that comes with it.
And how do I structure my code in this new language. Sure some things are universal, but some things are just hard to find out.
The js ecosystem is an especially tough example for this.
I was thinking that, but if I was being smart about it I’d loop the traffic back through localhost and out of an innocent ssl connection.
>wouldn't this increase the likelihood of a malicious vendor preinstalling a rootkit ?

Vendors already fuse their keys using bootguard. So if they want to install rootkits, they can do that now. Lenovo already did that with superfish. Bootguard doesn't make any assurances about the quality of the bios. It just says to the consumer that this machine's bios came from the vendor. Sort of like the https padlock.

I think what you mean to ask is how we could ensure the integrity of the boot flow up to the OS without bootguard. It can be done higher up in the stack. Chromebooks do it pretty well. There are other projects like heads that do it as well. Your chain of trust needs to extend into the OS for it to be meaningful.

I have found it easy to pick up new languages.

The only time I get confused is when two languages have exact same syntax but when they behave differently.
For context, the "safe touch temperature" in some countries is 50 celsius, in a place where air temperatures can reach 40C. That means the charger can't rise more than 10C above ambient temperature, which is tricky to achieve without a cooling fan.

Certainly recent price movements have mainly been driven by a dramatic fall in demand, but price drops in late March were also partly driven by Saudi announcements of production increases following they and Russia announced the breakdown of talks.

This is all so recent that it’s entirely possible they have reversed course already, absolutely. However this isn’t some wacko conspiracy theory, it’s based on the explicit statements of these countries governments all over the mainstream media.
Well Microsoft was facing an existential threat so invested in its own universal runtime.

As for languages designed after Java, many of them are responding against it. They don't want users to require slow startup costs, for example.
There are modern alternative systems with an open firmware stack, for example the Talos II running Power9. Granted, it is not available as a cheap, slick and slim power efficient laptop, but it is real, only twice as expensive and very capable. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/POWER9

> Would you use them to version sensitive data?

If you are using a self-hosted version of Github or preferably GitLab then yes. However, If you're on GitHub or GitLab's cloud version then it's not secure and you have zero control, even if its private.

> Would Gitlab/Github have access to the underlying content/history?

Who knows. But the first answer tells you that you will have more control in a self-hosted environment over a cloud based version and I wouldn't risk putting sensitive data there unless I have complete control with a self-hosted open-source version (GitLab).

> ...though how about medical/income/taxation documents or information?

Well that's very sensitive data equivalent to bank-level information, which can be used as a reason for others to determine your job, insurance or loan choices. Thus, should be treated as sensitive too.

How to Set Expectations with New Hires at a Startup
This is why 802.1x and RADIUS are key. I used to maintain the RADIUS servers at an ISP and dealt with the craziness that were the initial implementations of 802.1x, and to this day I keep finding corporate networks that do crazy things like rotating standard WPA Wi-Fi passwords via policies instead of just setting up 802.1x properly.

Of course, vendors don’t help here. Spending six digits on Cisco gear to get “out-of-the-box” end-to-end authentication (that then is weirdly inflexible in hooking up to your corporate AD) is certainly not on most small companies’ radar, especially when they get cheap APs that “work”.

For home use, I’ve bee looking for decent APs (_not_ proprietary fancy mesh setups) that support 802.1x and don’t cost an arm and a leg, and I’ve been seriously considering ripping out my Airports (which are amazing Wi-Fi gear, and sadly discontinued) and going with a combination of OpenWRT gear and an embedded RADIUS server.

But I’ve been wondering if there are decent SOHO solutions out there for 6-12 APs and up to 50 users — it would be great for small companies/startups.
> I have to say, it wasn't really that hard at all.

I agree; I think the problem is that it looks hard, with a truckload of config files and settings. It's not obvious that you wouldn't need to touch most of them. That's a UI/UX problem really...
To derail, I want to know what to do if google marks emails from my mail server as spam. I honestly cannot figure out how to get them to not do that and I’ve sent a total of 20 emails from my otherwise virgin domain.

You can actually get by without root by using Frida (https://frida.re/docs/android/), at least on Android. By repackaging the APK to include frida-gadget (such as in this tutorial: https://koz.io/using-frida-on-android-without-root/), you can get all of Frida's capabilities on that app without root.

That said, it is more convenient to have a spare rooted phone.
I assume you are looking for motivation. This thread might provide some https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11924009.

There are many examples of successful single-person startups (forgetting a recent example of a person who ran SaaS product single-handedly for over 4 years and then expanded). However, you can only bootstrap like that. To grow bigger, eventually will have to hire people - which means money, which means either VC or customer - which means tonnes of work in building products/building relationship/shipping product etc. I guess, if startup success rate was 1% then solo-founder startup success rate must be 0.01%.
Last time I tried most things didn’t work. Maybe you can make phone calls and use a web browser but I’m not sure that counts for most people.
I think that's a joke.
In my limited experience, companies start with single-tenancy apps. Get a client interested in their own private version, so they spin-up another instance.

Then they realise they've got a growing number of databases and webservers to maintain and account for, so they combine them all into a multi-tenant system.
Agreed. There is also another problem: For example, I know that I can code with C# but I do not know what is the traditional workflow for designing a micro-service in .NET

You just do not know how to "Do things in the right way"
This just reminded me how dangerous and foolish it is to use Google as an OAuth sign-in method.

If you deploy a contingency plan you can't then later say "see it wasn't so bad" using the measured numbers. You have to use a model of what it would have been without the containment measures.
You can skip the step, or sign out. I think this loses access to the App Store though.
I'm part of the team working on this thing, so I hope I can help out.

On (1): keep an eye out in the dev updates on the forum for the Safe Network App, this will fit the bill for what you are describing. Although remember, the network isn't complete yet, but we are on the trajectory for launch, so a fully featured version of the Safe Network App is on that same timeline.

On (3), I see what you are getting at, and this has been discussed a lot over the years. I'd make the distinction that there are killer _features_ of the network which will blow up, and enable all manner of amazing individual apps to be built on top.

There are a lot of features to highlight in that regard, as it's such a multifaceted project, but one I've aimed to highlight in this YouTube video is the 'Perpetual Web' which will have some pretty big implications:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GJZYS7ZJYs

And then there are some other really cool aspects that get me personally very excited, such as the serverless, infrastructure free nature of it (from a web dev pov), the possibilities for it to be a middle-man free ecommerce platform, and that's not to mention the private communications strand too.

Then you will only target Linux.

OpenGL and Vulkan only happen to work on Windows via the ICD driver model introduced in OpenGL 1.1, which Microsoft hasn't yet bothered to remove.

Instead they aren't supporting it on UWP and Win32 sandbox model, which only allow DirectX.

Microsoft's way forward is also to build OpenGL wrappers on top of DirectX like ANGLE.

I have two words for you: cui bono.

First hypothesis: Russian intelligence officers have attempted assassinate Skripals. What was the motive? All information held by Skripal has been long ago acquired by MI-6 and their US colleagues. Assassination will not prevent any leaks. Maybe he had some assets in Russia? They would not be handled by Skripal personally. Maybe he was a triple agent? What kind of information he could've possibly had? Maybe it was revenge and terrorizing potential future defectors? Well, motive fitting the Evil Empire indeed, the image which is carefully cultivated since the Cold War, especially considering the timing (3 months before the World Cup).

Ok, next question: why the attempt has failed? It could've been gross incompetence. Or sheer luck on Skripal's side? Quite possible, yes. But don't forget that every such explanation lowers probability of the hypothesis. But why poison (and with such loudly Russian name) and such tricky plan was used? If your goal is revenge, there are more practical way to execute someone, especially if you know where your target lives. And I highly doubt that he was under around-the-clock surveillance.

Second hypothesis: it was a clever false flag operation. Motive? Make Russia look extremely bad in western eyes. Timing is really good, not only you have the upcoming World Cup, but also it would allow you to divert populace attention from the Brexit debacle. And with Brexit US influence in Europe has took a hit, Russia was warming relations with Germany and France (situation around Nordstream 2 is the most prominent example), everyone got tired from the war in Eastern Ukraine, more and more voices urged removal of mutually damaging economic sanctions between Russia and EU. Why the Russian intelligence officers were involved? Skripal could've made contact with them and offer some information. Yes, it contradicts the point that it's unlikely he had one, but I guess in intelligence you shake all trees you have, even unlikely ones. Why those homeless people died? I admit don't have a good explanation to this one. A cynic could said that such operation without dead bodies could've had smaller impact in the information war or it could've been an unfortunate collateral damage.

As for the Bellingcat report, I hope you understand that it's hardly an independent source, right?
Windows only has support on legacy Win32 thanks to the ICD driver model. Vulkan and OpenGL aren't supported on Win32 and UWP sandboxes.

Game consoles never had OpenGL support, other than a timid attempt from Sony with GL ES 1.0 using Cg as shading language.
It's also solving a different problem: it maximises the when probability that you get the absolute best match, rather than maximising the expected value of your choice.
Apart from email, which can be hosted in a myriad of places, I tend to use etherpad/calc and nextcloud. I guess I was not a heavy user of Googles services for quite some time.

>You can't blame volcanoes or cow farts because the cycle has run just fine with them for millions of years.

But I can ask questions like "is the environment so unstable that a 5% change will push the balance out of equilibrium? Have cow farts and volcanos really been so stable over millions of years? Are there other negative feedbacks that we're missing? Why can't we focus on modifying the 95% of producers or 100% of consumers instead of focusing on crashing our economy over the 5% of CO2 that we make?" Etc.

It's one thing to point to a true fact and explain why it doesn't come to a conclusion that you think people think it implies. It's another thing to have a comment flagged for deletion because it brings up facts that run counter to a certain narrative.

The idea that a statement of truth is labelled as "intentionally deceptive" by certain people with an agenda is a tremendous red flag for outside observers.
Not on Gmail, but there certainly are email providers that allow a username to be recycled after a certain period of time. Notable example is Yahoo, which recycles usernames that haven't been active for a year: https://yahoo.tumblr.com/post/52805929240/yournameyahoocom-c...
This is the type of bullshit comment that makes me login and bother replying. Anyone in the industry that has needed to work with Apple knows their stance on games is inane. This is in spite of the fact that games make the lion’s share of revenue on their app store and they know it. This in spite of the fact that the majority of games on their iOS platform suck. Games is really not in their dna and boy does it show.
When I lived and traveled on a boat, I'd often be within wifi range but have no cell service. This was back when SMS 2fa was the only option. It was really annoying to be logged out of Google.

These days, I doubt it would be as big of an issue to lack cell phone service, for me anyway. I can imagine lots of scenarios where cell service would stop working, and imagining those people effectively locked out of their account until the towers could be rebuilt or repaired makes me sad for them.

Downvote feedback welcome. I did not expect people to downvote this. At worst, I expected people to see this comment as neutral. I'm fine with losing points, I am simply curious as to what goes through people their minds when they downvote it.

My perspective:

This comment does not seem to break HN guidelines. Here is the contribution of the comment:

- Assuming that making smalltalk to strangers is a good thing (parent's showcase), then what's more important is doing it. It doesn't matter how you're inspired to do it.

- Perhaps read the Luck Factor

- Traffic lights are programmed in C (in my part of the world)

If the downvote comes from that it doesn't add enough. Fair enough. If it's rather something else (tone, some form of negative emotion, civility or anything like that), I'd be curious to know how it affects people.

If no one gives feedback after me asking explicitly, I get it.
That's the horrible part about it. You're spamming smileys on a Fortnite stream? No more access to your email, which you require to manage access to five dozen online services including PayPal, probably also stuff like insurance and whatnot.

That's just not the only way things change. Look, for example, at the establishment of the FDA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_Food_and_Drug_Act

Industrial food companies were taking significant liberties with food quality and safety. And it was apparently fine! People appeared not to care. Then Upton Sinclair's book The Jungle happened to catch the popular imagination, leading to a wave of outrage and investigations. People still "didn't care" in the sense of, say, not buying industrially produced food. But they did very much care, leading to a regulatory regime that has lasted more than a century.

Because they take into account not only the development, but also the production constraints, which is not just turning a dial.

That said, approaches are kind of different compared to traditional vaccine development. If efficacy is demonstrated, there will be a huge pressure to scale up production to get it around ASAP.

That's why institutions like the Jenner Institute in Oxford (which develops one of the vaccines further ahead in the race) is seeking partnerships everywhere (at risk, because for now no one knows if it works). No single entity can make billions of doses.

P.S.: All these measures and reasonings seem to forget the eventual availability of effective pharmacological treatment, which might reduce the medical impact of this disease.

> This is a large misunderstanding of how it works. You can't MITM millions of servers around the world just because they use HTTP for downloading their apt archives.

Actually, a bug allowing exactly that was in the last 3 ubuntu LTS versions: https://justi.cz/security/2019/01/22/apt-rce.html https://usn.ubuntu.com/3863-1/

If they used HTTPS then an attacker would have to control the mirror instead of being able to perform the attack as a MITM.

Also using HTTP allows someone in the middle to know what software is installed on a server, which while not critical if it is kept up to date it leaks some information.
