The transport layer is running on the same computer at the same trust level as the encryption layer, which means it can intercept the unencrypted data. Even if the developer's 100% honest it's easy for them to accidentally create a remote code execution vulnerability that allows an attacker to do this.

> Baraza is not supported on your browser

Displayed in Chrome-based Opera that sends Chrome's User-Agent string and deliberately doesn't even mention "Opera" in the header.

It's so annoying that Google keeps discriminating against other browsers even when there can't even be a vaguest technical reason to do so.

Why would even simple Q&A site need to require only handful of latest browsers? Why is Google still using User-Agent sniffing? (they have top-notch web developers who all know how stupid that is...)
So, how should this be re-written?

> Bookmark hell? What about click through stuff hell? Needless to say, 5 clicks through, I gave up.

"Users have short attention spans. They will not click through many pages to get to the content. Avoid splash pages if you can, and certainly don't make the user click X times to get the content" - that's very bland.

"Ha ha, oh wow, that was a lot of clicking. I gave up, and I think most users would too"?

Or what?

While I agree with you that showHN is often a bit rougher than it needs to be I agree with others that you've chosen sub-optimal examples.
I'll consider writing a more detailed article on the subject. Open-sourcing the code will not be possible in the short-term.
Until recently, interns slipped through the cracks somehow. A recent court decision determined that interns actually aren't magically exempt from the law just because they're interns, though, so expect a lot fewer unpaid internships from now on.

Moscow, Russia – Macs everywhere. Odessa, Ukraine – a lot of Macs and more are coming.

And this is a two year old observation.
Not to be "single data-point guy", but including mine, there are 3 in the technology group at work. And maybe 3 iPhones, with 5 or more Androids rounding it out.

The phone has a few nits (the single volume control being #1 on my list) but on the whole I like it. Partly because I got a little burned out on iDevices (3 iPhones over the years) and wanted something different, but also because of the camera (I have a 928, which I got like 2 weeks before the 1020 was announced - bad timing). I took some photos at a backyard party the other night, and the low light performance is excellent.

I like the look of the phone, and I'm hoping that Microsoft turns some of the Nokia designers & engineers loose on the Surface, and give it some style.
OS X at home, Windows at work
I am the author and I'd like to answer your comments, please:

I agree with you that the jump from the quoted comments to my passionate statement ("If you don't like my work...") was extremely abrupt. It seems to indicate that I believed the criticisms to be ad hominems directed at me.

Refuting the ad hominem ad-hoc, without an example was childish behavior on my part and I would like to apologise for that bit unreservedly. I also realise that it is VERY ironic considering the nature and topic of my post but I hope the rest of the post still makes good points.

Nope, I am not ashamed about the 'appeal to emotion' because it wasn't an appeal to emotion. It is something I personally believe and I'd like to stand by it, please. I think that anyone who's created something deserves a bit of admiration/praise along with the criticism and in that regard the example fits perfectly, IMHO. Let us agree to disagree here?

I beg to differ about the 'honesty of the criticism' and the 'concreteness' of the three issues you mention - IMHO, they were disguised as insults. The same points have also been brought up by others in the same thread in ways that are far better at promoting a conversation and a learning experience, in general.

It'll please you to know that the original creator of the Show HN (TuringMachine) was a far better man than I and I was thoroughly impressed by his responses. I, OTOH, was quick to express my anguish in a public forum and I have received some very interesting criticism myself. Yours is definitely one of them, thank you.
Why would an owl-ish life be taxing on health? This is a really bad argument I think, what happened to you was this: you improved your life through diet and exercise while at the same time waking up earlier, yet you attribute your improvements in how you feel to waking up earlier. I could lead a healthy life and still go to bed at 6am and feel amazing. Also I wish people would stop this propaganda against carbs.

IFTTT - https://ifttt.com/jobs - San Francisco, CA

==================================

IFTTT is looking for engineers to help build the next generation of its platform. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the core architecture of one of the web’s most innovative and exciting services. You’ll get to work on challenging technical problems alongside a small but driven group of developers, and play a key role in shaping both the product and team culture.

IFTTT’s mission is to help people to create connections between the services and devices they use every day. We’ve built a system that enables users to set up simple “if this, then that”-style recipes, which allow activity from one web service to trigger activity in another. The current system supports over 70 unique services and runs nearly a hundred million recipe-handling tasks per day, and we plan to dramatically expand on our flexibility and scalability. Under the hood, this translates to building a platform that can talk to and move data between virtually any API you can think of, all in realtime and at massive scale.

We're well funded, and we work hard to do right by our employees. New hires at IFTTT enjoy competitive salary and equity, full benefits, sane work schedules, and a flexible vacation policy. Much more than that, we offer interesting, deep projects and an amazing team experience. We operate on the philosophy that the best job perk is fantastic teammates, and to this end we’ve assembled a staff of intensely curious, well-rounded, talented people who happen to be great engineers. We’re hoping you can be the next one.

==================================

Mobile Engineer

Earlier this summer we released our first mobile app, IFTTT for iPhone (https://ifttt.com/mobile). The response has been overwhelmingly positive (Editor's Choice, #1 Productivity). We're looking for talented mobile developers who can help us continue to innovate on iPhone, as well as bringing IFTTT to new platforms (Android, wearable computing, embedded systems, etc).

==================================

Platform Engineer

We’re hoping to find candidates who speak fluently about distributed architectures, databases, and ops, who enjoy rolling up their sleeves and writing code at all levels of the stack, and who have the confidence and depth of knowledge to take ownership of long-term projects. IFTTT currently runs on a polyglot mix of technologies, including EC2, Rails, Node.js, MySQL, Redis, Memcached, and Chef. Experience with these is a big plus, but we’re constantly evolving, and we value creative problem-solving and desire to learn over domain knowledge.

"If you're going to leave one proprietary, commercial & licensed platform for another, then really what's the point?"

The point is using a complete UNIX operating system that works with any Unix code using standards like OpenGL, but at the same time, is respected by manufacturers of hardware and supported by service providers.

Half our computers(lots of them)in our company are Linux, half of them Mac. Using Unix means we could inter operate between them very easy, not like using Windows forcing DirectX(in theory you could use OpenGL, ha!).

Using Linux means we have total freedom in what we could do. We are outside USA, not software patents here.

While the variability of self-taught is higher than those with a CS degree, there are plenty of self-taught (without CS degree) software engineers who rise to the top of hard core software engineering companies (e.g. Microsoft, Facebook, VMware etc.), besides high-profile college drop-outs like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg.

I am not sure if Mark Zuckerberg can be described as self taught,especially if you consider his high school's CS curriculum.

It's Shockingly Easy For Someone To Find Your Personal Information
>Not at all, unless frequent contacts are expected in which case you should be warned through other channels.

Obviously, this differs. At my actual job, email is the "need a response today" communication, while instant messaging or phone is "need a response now". Out-of-office messages are invaluable to know if someone is just out today, in which case things are fine, or they are out for two weeks, in which case I need to find their delegate.

Work on untapped aspects of Bitcoin with Python, GNU/Linux.

http://electrum.org

Developed by a brain researcher to satisfy his own need for a memory-based Bitcoin backup system, Electrum is known for its mnemonic restore function, which enables secure Bitcoin storage without a PC, smartphone or Internet connection.

Electrum was designed to be a simple, easy to use Bitcoin "thin client". Satoshi Nakamoto himself advocated for such a client on the original cryptography mailing list. [0] This is what Electrum is.

As a next step, I want Electrum to store, sync and share encrypted data. Electrum's label sync plugin [1] is already accomplishing encrypted data storage and sync. However, I want to make the label sync plugin more automated and versatile. For example, I want the signup process to be seamless and automated. I also want to be able to selectively share data, perhaps with some basic access controls. Bonus points if we can store data on federated servers or some other P2P solution.

In particular, it's possible to do (and to automate) data storage account signups with challenge-response authentication via Bitcoin message signing [2]. In theory, it's also possible to do automated SSH authentication with Bitcoin message signing. To me, this is one of the most important, untapped aspects of Bitcoin.

When you combine such an authentication scheme with Electrum's mnemonic restore function, you end up with a secure way to maintain access to all kinds of data from one seed phrase, and one application, without hardware or software. Effectively, Electrum can act as a portable API control center, granting you access to just about any type of data, on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. It could be files, emails, passwords, messages, to-do lists; there is vast potential here.

I'd like to hear from you if you'd be interested in working on such a system.

As we're already working closely with members of the Kivy core team, front end / pure GUI work is mostly covered. Automating Bitcoin message signing auth, and implementing encrypted data store + sync + share is needed. Systems engineers and talented Python devs would be a welcome addition to this project. Of course, if you have other skills that are a fit for this, feel free to get in touch.

We're lucky in the sense that Bitcoin enables us to introduce financial compensation for open source work, which is exactly what this is.
