A New Gossip Tool That Keeps Fake Tipsters Away, but Guards Anonymity
They can do absolutely anything they want. There are no limits to their power; anything that is not within the bounds of the law can be done first, and then have the law written to permit it later.

There are no checks against their power-- no court, no congressional group, and no group of people is willing to regulate the "watchmen".
I've seen similar examples with HTTP headers and sites that display those, nice angle.
I think the exaggeration is because its a sales pitch, but it illustrates an important concept -- doing something "known" but in a generic way can be more valuable than having a proprietary solution. Of course someone could come up and offer a 'Cloudflare' box that just does key sequestration and sell that.

And while I think banks and others will find this useful, its even more useful if I can do it from a far away place. When you create an SSL connection in Europe to a west coast server there are a number of round trips. If those can be avoided you can cut the latency of the transaction. That is a good thing too.

'If you don't feel safe biking along a strech without taking the lane, then the middle of the lane can be "as close to the right as practicable".'

As discussed in the thread starting with dragonwriter's response to the above, I should note that this assumes your feeling has a basis in reality. If you want to be sure you don't get a ticket (beyond simply relying on a tendency not to ticket for these things), you should be able to point to why riding where you were riding is objectively safer than riding further to the right.
> Is there an entrepreneur willing to say "Yep, tried them, got bitten in the hindquarters",

Kinda, but in a different way. When we were raising our Series A round, some investors based their offer off our Seed round's valuation. One investor thought that our seed round was a capped note, and wrote us a term sheet that was a "generous increase over your cap" (I think 20% perhaps). I think if they had known the seed was a priced round, they would have made something more like a 100% increase over it's valuation.

Not quite, actually. The elements of tortious interference vary by state but are roughly:

1) The existence of a contractual relationship or beneficial business relationship between two parties.
2) Knowledge of that relationship by a third party.
3) Intent of the third party to induce a party to the relationship to breach the relationship.
4) Lack of any privilege on the part of the third party to induce such a breach.
5) The contractual relationship is breached.
6) Damage to the party against whom the breach occurs.

Yelp may have a case for tortious interference against the restaurant if they are paying customers to break their Yelp terms. Yelp still sucks.
I am certainly not "HN". If you want to argue/discuss, do so. I'm well aware that a "secure element" is never 100% unbreakable. But in the usecase the GP mentioned (government broadly gathers data), hiding the data in a separate hardware compartment will at least help.
kudos guys!
Peter Thiel Bashes Dick Costolo's Management of Twitter
I initially loved my Paperwhite, but I was turned off by the lack of epub support. Whatever their rationale is, I object to not supporting an open format in principle. I have no trouble buying books from their store; 4 out of 5 times they have the lowest price anyway, and the purchasing process is smooth. But 1 out of 5 times they don't have the lowest price, or the formatting of a book I want to purchase is for some reason fubared (the last couple of books I got from Google Play specifically because of this), so I should be able to upload an epub painlessly. So the device starts to feel more like a vehicle to get you to buy into their Kindle ecosystem than anything else, even though the reading aspect of it is really nice.

This doesn't seem to bother most people, though.

I ended up getting a tablet, but I can't say it's an improvement in every regard. Tablets cost more (actually with the voyage at $200, not that much more), they weigh more, the batteries don't last nearly as long (although I get a good 1-2 days out of use), and good luck reading in the sun. But they also do more.

The Kindle app on Android is in some ways more feature-ful and easier to use than the Paperwhite's software. Taking notes (I read a lot of non-fiction) for example, is a cinch when I can use SwiftKey, where as the Kindle's native keyboard was a pain in terms of responsiveness, predicting words, and making corrections.

To each his or her own, though. But I'm definitely not in the "I don't need a tablet" crowd.

That said, I had no idea that I could jailbreak the Paperwhite, or that there was such a huge scene around it. Gonna check that out.
Introducing Headlyne.me, or How a Marketing Guy Taught Himself to Code
My dad prefers his full size iPad to the Kindle too. For him the backlit LCD is a feature, and the brightness and contrast on the LCD is better than the kindle display. My eyesight is better, so I prefer the Kindle for reading text.
Interesting approach. How would you propose to interface with the rest of the world where not having email is about as strange as not having a fax was a decade ago?

- customers

- prospects

- end users

- recruiting

- registrars

- suppliers

That's a genuine question, I'd love to get off the email treadmill completely and just getting rid of the corporate component would be great.

I see that you're still doing 'email for external communications' but that's where the pain point lies for me, internal is manageable.
I've got two problems here.

1) Cloud based. No, no, no, absolutely not, no way, no how. I am not hooking up server farms to the internet. Monitoring systems stay behind the firewall. Please come up with a self-hosted version.

Moreso when:

2) They log directly into the system. Unprivileged user or not, if you've got shell on my box, "you" being a random company on the internet, it's not my box anymore. Someone hacks you and by extension they've hacked me.

Thank you for your reply on HN. Can you also please reply to grellas's post (at or near the top)? grellas is a "very smart lawyer" who posted some excellent counter-points to your original article. Personally, I'd love to hear your response.
Thinking about it as "don't concatenate different data types" leads to even more correct software. Concepts like "trust" and "sanitization" are too often vague and misleading. It might be perfectly valid for TXT records--even trusted and sanitized ones--to contain sequences with left angle brackets that make them look like HTML tags. Either way, that's no excuse for failing to convert the text to HTML (by escaping it) before concatenating it into an HTML page.
Good point. And we do still use email for external communication. But, even on those messages that then require internal communication and decision making or any next-actions, we shift the communication over to slack/trello/hackpad to get the work done and then reply back externally.
Yep, missing that is what makes this an "XSS" :)
"The Entire History of You" is my favorite.
Ah, so his TXT records actually serve a genuine purpose? ;)
The law doesn't work like that. There is no "precedence". If you are forced to choose between lying under oath, or saying something you're not allowed to say, you're going to have to take the punishment either way. Any judge will recognize that you put yourself in this situation and therefore you are responsible for the outcome.
Ada isn't memory-safe with dynamic allocation (unless you use GC). Dynamic allocation is essential for a Web browser.
It's about 3.5GB compressed, though in addition to un-LZMAing it a custom unpacker consisting of a few dozen lines of perl is required.

The code from the article has comments at the beginning of each block, which makes it very easy to read to me. But of course, that requires the programmer to actually write comments and keep them up-to-date. I bet you could write some incredible spaghetti code with this style of pattern matching. The if statements you wrote are at least somewhat self-documenting, and harder to shoot yourself in the foot with.
> But can the government force you to knowingly make a false statement?

No, but they can punish you for telling the truth. The fact that you'll be punished for lying does not negate the punishment for telling the truth, just as the fact that you'll be punished for telling the truth does not give you an excuse to lie.
Yea, none of those companies are startups.

As for volume, they aren't shipping millions upon millions of their devices in a month either.

Nope. The warrant canary is a catch-22 of your own making, so you have to take the punishment either way. Either accept the penalty for lying, or accept the penalty for telling the truth. It's your decision which one you'd rather take.
Nobody goes into space without damage to their body either.

Elixir also gives you really cool meta-programming tools, a way to extend the language, that aren't part of CoffeeScript.
Ok, that makes sense and explains my vague memory. Not source->source transformation but very different from something like scala where it really is a totally ground-up new compiler.
>Always remember to check the licenses of transitive dependencies. There are packages which say they are licensed under MIT, yet they depend on an (A)GPL package! That might or might not to be an issue for you.

I recommend using a tool like license-checker to create a list of all the licenses. It also shows the unknown ones, so you can start digging for the licenses. Like the article states, there's a large number of npm packages without licenses. I've usually made pull requests whenever I stumble upon a package with missing package.json license information, and I hope the situation is slowly improving.

It seems harsh to call it theatre, and I expect all cloud services will adopt it.

It means people can use a cloud service without giving them private keys. This seems much better than giving them keys.

I too was hoping there would be some clever math to make it so some part of the conversation between client and back end was an encrypted tunnel that cloudfare can route but not read. This doesn't seem to be the case.

But all the same, however small a step, its not theatre.

Almost every sentence of your comment contains non-obvious yet unsupported conclusions. I don't think a HN comment is the appropriate venue for your thinking; maybe a 20-page paper would be better.

I answered something similar generally below to exelius. But, to answer a few of your specific examples:

- 90% of customer conversations occur via Intercom.io our hello@primellop address and all reply-to’s point there. And, generally the other 10% that come directly to me where it makes sense to have the rest of the team available to help, get cc’d into hello@ in my response.

- currently all our recruiting is inbound (mostly through angel.co) and I follow up with people there to schedule a call. Certainly some amount of external email around that.

- on the sales front we are definitely using email. Happy to play in their world and make it easy for them. But, again, most next actions and internal collaboration/communication moves to trello/hackpad/relateIQ

- all the services we use obviously send a bunch of email, that we sometimes need to respond to. But all of that is in a group email that most of us can dig through if we need to.

And, FWIW, I’ve had the opposite experience with email. I can handle the external communication OK… it’s the mess of internal email that has caused the most headaches.
Agreed, which is too bad. It's one thing to not contribute to a project if the source isn't to your liking, but it's another to flat out not use the compiled version.

Besides, I've found that writing CoffeeScript is pretty much like writing Javascript. Different syntax, but the semantics are almost entirely 1:1, leaving out the class stuff (which I don't often use). I've introduced CS to many JS devs and while not all of them loved it, they were able to get up to speed very quickly. But I understand peoples' objections to it - I think they're wrong, but I understand them!
Malware has been putting updates and command and control instructions inside DNS records for a while now, so they get the benefits you mention as well as continued availability even when the original authoritative servers are taken down.

If you're nitpicking the handle design on some clip-art, then I think you should probably just step back a bit.
And what competing product would that be? I've found every Android I've used to have much nicer form factor than any iPhone.
I got a Paperwhite about 3 weeks ago. I've kept it in the packaging, anticipating a new release was coming. I was not anticipating such a huge bump in price though. Guess I'm keeping the Paperwhite.
Even before that, it's shocking how few text editors have basic Lisp indentation and REPL support.

I guess I did forget about Light Table (as AFAIK it doesn't support Scheme or Common Lisp yet), which seems like the right thing to point beginning Clojure programmers to.

Hell, that's probably a big part of why Clojure became more popular than the previous Lisps.

Simple ways to implement infinite scrolling on your website
It has everything to do with the TXT record... Every XSS could be summed up with "just the website that renders HTML", but that's pretty much the point. TXT records aren't often thought of as input and as you can see several sites made that mistake of assumption.
If you want to access this in a web browser, you still need some server which speaks HTTP and makes the DNS request and forwards the result to the browser. So you're really not saving much there. In fact, you'll have higher latency since you now need HTTP plus an extra DNS request. Unless of course browsers support dns://...
Put your e-mail on your profile. The smart appsec groups, like Google's, would look at your hack as a resume. Seriously, who would have ever thought of XSS via DNS?

You could have just alert'd, too, but no. Harlem Shake. Bravo.

No.

Perhaps financially, accountants weren't able to attribute black pennies to it.

But spiritually it was a big success. Everybody wanted one. And it was the roots of the Macintosh.

If Apple didn't do the Lisa, I cannot see what else they could have done at that time, and still become the biggest company of the world 30 years later. Without it, they would probably have disappeared long ago as so many people predicted.
The lack of generics is definitely a problem. You can't write generic code, and end up having to write your own thunks for each type you want to use. The standard library can't expose generic facilities that work on any type.

This should be evidenced by the fact that Go is the only mainstream statically typed language without parametric polymorphism. Worse, trying to bolt it on after the fact has generally lead to ugly solutions, like C++ templates or Java's generics.

I expect Go will eventually follow Java's lead and bolt on generics awkwardly.
Probably basic PHP?
I think you are right - having a lead is very valuable - but you're also missing the other side of the argument.

Convertible notes have upsides, primarily that they give the entrepreneur significantly more leverage in a seed round. The benefits for entrepreneurs have been pretty clear in the last decade: lower dilution and much better terms.

So it strikes me that while there are certainly downsides to notes, I don't see the major upside addressed in your piece. This is what makes it seem a little self-serving, IMO, esp since the upsides you do address come across a little bit like strawmen.
Maybe go back to reddit.
From a summary of federal survey data:

Note than many cannabis associated crimes are misdemeanors that don't call for jail time. In a "tough" state like New York, possession of very small quantities of cocaine or heroin often result in felony conviction. But at the same time, drug distributors move a lot of weed (hence the ground beef analogy).
I just tried this as well using my AT&T Straight Talk phone number, and the result was the same (message reports being sent, but never shows up on my end).

I'll also fire off an email so that you can have at least two numbers to test with.
Hidden gold in source codes

You may really like a book named _Twilight of the Elites_ by Chris Hayes [1]. It touches on much of what you are disappointed with.

The short summary on amazon is pretty good:

Over the past decade, Americans watched in bafflement and rage as one
institution after another—from Wall Street to Congress, the Catholic Church
to Major League Baseball—imploded under the weight of corruption and
incompetence. In the wake of the Fail Decade, the social contract between
ordinary citizens and elites lies in tatters.

I think this touches on many of the things you find disturbing about recently authored scifi. But when you discover that the holier-than-thou Catholic church is, practically speaking, a kiddie raping ring with knowledge up and down the hierarchy including the current pope (who hid a priest who molested TWO HUNDRED children in northern wisconsin and provided him with further access to children, with not one peep to law enforcement or the communities he hid his rapist in); or you discover wall street was issuing no-doc loans to anyone with a pulse, selling them, then betting against them; or that the cia was at minimum complicit but more likely actively aided in selling crack cocaine in our inner cities to fund their war-crimes committing guerrilla wars in Nicaragua after specifically being forbidden by congress from aiding them (read about operation dark star); or read about what Nixon got up to... it definitely shatters belief and trust in our institutions. How does a society recover from that? I'm really not sure.
