Okay I've never commented on my affiliation before because I don't want to advertise but this is ridiculous.

I am the one who wrote the first article and 'broke' the story about Gogo's snooping [0]. Plenty of publications also reported on it after it reached high notoriety on Reddit. Some copied parts of my article, some didn't give a source or via to me, some made it appear like they were producing original news. That's fine, I don't really care: it happens to almost every single original article I write (one time I took a screen shot of my own Desktop as an article image and the other websites copied that too with no source) and I've grown use to it - I was just happy that it was making waves and forcing Gogo to reconsider their position.

But in this case, Symantec has copied my original title verbatim. If you're going to literally copy my title verbatim, at least give a link back to it. Ridiculous. It wasn't even a good title.

web filtering, I think, is nothing but a sign of mistrust against the users.

What if it's the user who wants this filtering?

I run a local proxy that MITMs to filter out ads, tracking scripts, and other undesirable things. It works in all the browsers I use regularly, and any browsers that happen to be embedded in apps, because this way the stuff I want filtered out never even reaches the browser.
Democratic? When they barred the Party of Regions from participating and didn't let the east vote?
"And the "wet coast" is really a myth. Seattle gets rain, but Vancouver is tucked behind Vancouver Island and is much drier."

This is just blatantly false, and easy to check. Vancouver average annual rainfall is around 45 inches. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle#Climate Seattle average annual rainfall is around 37 inches. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle#Climate Vancouver also gets more snow. I guess Seattle is "tucked in" behind the Olympic Peninsula better than Vancouver is behind Vancouver Island.

Chrome has chosen to use the system network (proxy) settings, the system SSL stack, etc. It actually makes sense for them to use the state CA store. Firefox's legacy includes platforms where there was no system any of that. As use shouldn't need to set proxy settings or corporate CAs for every application they run.

Otoh, it is unfortunate that chrome has different SSL behavior on every platform.
I would throw The Human Past, Mathematics from the Birth of Numbers, and US Army Survival guide into the mix. I also think there should be more of a focus on construction/architecture and agriculture/horticulture. A book containing some facts about earth science and especially on the unique geographic features of each region of the world would be necessary. I would also add a book on common plants and their uses and a book on human health/nutrition.

I think people are focusing too much on the luxuries of complex civilization. If you're at the point where you have to rebuild civilization it would be more necessary to focus on building a good foundation i.e focusing on improving your food, water, shelter, medicine, and social systems. I think the book Mathematics from the Birth of Numbers would be a good enough foundation to get started on physics, mechanics, and math.

Just because your OS / browser vendor "trusts" a cert doesn't mean you should.

In other words, users should always have the right to control who they (indirectly) trust. That's what the comment above is referring to - it will be even worse if Superfish is used as an excuse to take away this right.
I don't get why this post is not the top comment. HN disappoints me more and more.

It's not necessarily surprising as Germany gives huge discounts on these equipments to Israel. I don't have figures for all deals, but it seems usual for German taxpayers to pay for about a third of the costs.

Example:

> In 2006, the deal for 2 Dolphin AIP boats was finalized at a total of $1.27 billion, with the German government picking up 1/3 of the cost.

Why shouldn't humanity aspire to that?

Because 7 billion people trekking to Everest would transform the character of the place so thoroughly that the reason people started doing en masse in the first place would be lost to history. Tragedy of the Commons 101.

The way we prevent these tragedies is via regulation. Needless to say, this demands time and expense that could always be used elsewhere, so if there's a natural barrier limiting access, then by all means, rely on that instead.

Once you open something to everybody, you've got to deal with...everybody. Generally speaking the people who are trying to profit from the initial development have zero interest in carrying the costs their ventures impose. Essentially, they're in the uncompensated extraction business and yeah a lot of people take a very dim view of that and will quite reasonably use any and all measures thay can to block what amounts to theft from the commons.

One third of the country? Please get your facts straight. It's not even one third of the Donbass region that's affected by the hostilities, and Donbass is only 2 of the 24 regions ("oblasts") of Ukraine.
Let's also not forget the multiple 100+ line methods and try-catches which don't even bother to log or handle the error they catch.

I think that the real problem is that most people will not pay for 5 different streaming services. Remember, the median family income in the US is only about 50k, which I'm guessing is less than most people here make by themselves. I predict that the dismantling of "has everything" Netflix results in a resurgence of video piracy (or maybe redbox) -- overall, a net loss for the industry.
Further, the root certificate store should be cryptographically signed by Microsoft and this signature validated during Windows OOBE.

This is just one small step down the path of not allowing any modification to the root certificate store, and that is an even scarier situation, since users will have absolutely no control over who they decide to trust.

This is the biggest mistake that I see startups make. Startups ARE small businesses, they are just supposed to be growing faster than "normal" small businesses. But many people make the mistake of not being a "small" business as a startup, and then they realize that they have no idea what to do when they have a medium size business on their hands (or never create any business at all in spite of products).

Avoid venture backers until you can't - entrepreneurs existed before venture capital, and exist outside of it as well. Venture should fund growth, but not inception.

There is no "always follows". This is an event which will not be repeated in the history of the world. All there is is 3 doors: you pick one, the host opens another door which contains a goat, and offers you a choice. Why he picked the door that he chose is irrelevant. All that is relevant is that (a) it's not the door you chose, and (b) it contains a goat. You don't need anything beyond that to solve this problem. If you think you need something beyond that to solve the problem, you're not solving it correctly.

Given the tweet content of https://twitter.com/RescueForensics so far, I find this statement very hard to believe.

There are retweets of sex work abolitionist groups, @SharedHope and @RestoreCorps. There are also tweets like this one: https://twitter.com/RescueForensics/status/25676583846244352...
"We are building forensics to fight human trafficking online - abolitionists must bring the fight to the internet!"

It looks like Rescue Forensics has aligned itself with sex work abolitionist groups that pose as anti-trafficking groups. And who have huge incentives to inflate the problem by many orders of maginitude, to create government funding for their groups and for this kind of work.

An aisde: as of today, @RescueForensics has 6,231 followers but only 74 tweets. The first 6,000 or so of these followers look like they were bought. Some might say that gives some indication of the ethics of this company.

There are two other projects that are doing similar work in scraping sex work ads in the US. The first is MEMEX - a DARPA project. http://www.wsj.com/articles/sleuthing-search-engine-even-bet...

The second is ASPASIA project, an academic project out of University of Washington. ASPASIA is very sex worker friendly, and understands the difference between human trafficking and consensual adult sex for money.
https://github.com/uwescience/incubator/wiki/aspasia-project
https://twitter.com/aspasia_project

If you look at most human trafficking law enforcement efforts, the vast majority is arrests of adult men and women who are consensually buying and selling sex. This is incorrectly labeled "sex trafficking" by law enforcement and the media. But the federal definition of sex trafficking is coercion, or of someone under 18.

It is unconscionable for law enforcement and abolitionists to use stings to go after the large, easy targets of consenting adults to pump up the numbers and money, while the horror of real human trafficking takes real investigative effort, time, and money, but doesn't have large numbers to as easily justify this effort.

The real solution is to decriminalize consensual adult sex work (like in New Zealand and parts of Australia), allowing everyone to focus on the true horrors of human trafficking. But that goes against the goals of the religious-based abolitionist groups, which have hijacked the human trafficking discussion and funding to push their anti-sex agenda.

Sure, but the question is whether any proposed change will be likely to make things better, or worse.

> I don't think there is a need to prove anything for every possible case.

Maybe not, but it doesn't look to me like you've even considered what fraction of cases would lead to a net benefit under your rule vs. the current rules.
>withdrawing it from the commons out of anger, is not OK.

This is pretty obviously not what happened here, though.

Objective-C is a good example of successfully migrating the language forward. Breaking changes were introduced slowly. Library APIs are marked as deprecated several releases prior to removal. The compiler warns you of their use. Automatic reference counting can be turned off for legacy files, but a tool is provided that will help you convert a class to use ARC.

Code written in ObjC a couple of years ago will likely not run today without modifications. But overall this has been a net positive for the language. It's actually become really pleasant to use. And is in part why Apple's platform has thrived.

I think optimizing for the past is the wrong thing to do. If your language is successful, then most of the code is yet to be written. So if your choice is between making future code easy to write, or not breaking legacy code, then you should err on breaking legacy code and provide deprecation/migration tools.
Short answer: most users can do exactly that.

There's an automated process that confirms the request via email and starts a timer that, if not cancelled, removes the account. For accounts with a non-trivial number of posts we hold them for manual confirmation just to prevent unfortunate accidents (there's no undo - more on that next) but all it involves is an affirmative response from an email associated with the account.

The longer answer is... This is one of those very early design decisions that, in hindsight, was probably sub-optimal. Ideally, account deletion would amount to nothing more than flipping a bit on a database record, at least in the short term - if someone regretted their decision a day later, no harm done; just flip it back. But things are not ideal, and deleting an account actually purges rather a lot of information that can't easily be restored - so given that a non-trivial number of users do change their minds (especially those with a long history of activity that will be lost), it's worth everyone's time to make double-sure before hitting the big red button.

We've slowly been improving the process over the past few years, but it's still no where near ideal from anyone's perspective. I could go into more detail, but... Can sum it up with, "We're now only wasting ridiculous amounts of time on this instead of utterly insane amounts of time".
> The actual show did not compel Monty with any rules on opening doors. He had free rein to do whatever he wanted. He could reveal an incorrect guess right away with no opportunity to switch. He could and would offer the contestant cash to switch or not switch. Monty could try anything to trick or bluff or deceive the contestant, all for the sake of producing entertaining television.

And really, the thing is, none of that matters. Maybe in this version he could reveal an incorrect guess! Maybe in this version he could reveal the door that the contestant picked! That's not what happened in the situation you're asked to analyze. All that matters is that the host picked a door that (a) was not the door the contestant picked, and (b) contains a goat. Nothing beyond that is part of this problem, and nothing beyond that is necessary to solve it. You're given a very specific situation, and asked what the best decision to make is.

It's a pretty rich comparison which doesn't have to be interpreted negatively (that is dependent on the observer).

For example, the Sandinistas would likely see themselves as fighting Yankee imperialism and domestic supporters of the Sandinistas might have an angle of opposing CIA activity. Especially if you bring Assange into this, you really are at most a few hops of association away from the literal Sandinistas.

Fitting the "Patriot / Constitution" image in there is a little awkward because of how those words have been appropriated by the far right wing, invoking patriotism is also a little awkward with respect to how much patronage from Russia et al. is involved here.

I don't really care what the word ends up being but it would be convenient to have a compact word like "Snowdenista" and I'd appreciate it if the term isn't something pompous and not really indicative like "Patriotic Constitution-Supporter"
They mention the over harvest problem in the FAQ:

"Do I need to leave some honey in the hive for the bees?

Yes, this applies to all beekeeping. Your bees need honey to get them through the times when there is no nectar available. The number of frames of honey that you leave depends on your climate. You should consult local beekeepers as to how much they leave in their colonies over the winter.

The Flow frames make it a lot easier to see how much honey is in your frames at any time, so you can learn to manage how much honey to harvest and how much to leave for the bees.

Watching the honey level change every day is quite fascinating and I personally feel more in touch with the bees and can’t help but look on a daily basis. You can also take just a small amount of honey if you choose, by draining one frame or part of a frame."

The current canyon r2m "tourist" corridor is 17 miles long by maybe 1/2 a mile wide (of the 100+m miles length). Also if its only on indian land, the thing is on a side-canyon off to the east that is 80% out of theway anyway. You have to take 4x4 roads or trails over to Nankoweap. What is a pity is that area is supposed to be really nice, and is on the edge of the existing trail networks. So it kind of takes advantage of the National park whislt at the same time being incongrous with it.

The other irony here is that the indians surely had all of these same arguments about the US feds. Its just the table are turned on who is getting the $$ and the benefits.
