The interesting part here would have been the actual code for each case, and the changes that it required later, i.e. exactly what the article does _not_ contain. Without it, we have to take the guy at his word, and it's hard to say we

Is Craigslist still the way to go for finding a place to rent in the Bay Area? As far as I recall, it was a pretty poor experience, but it was the only place that had the listings.

Ok, but they're USB-C, meaning there is an 80% chance they implement the spec incorrectly (resulting in weird issues with random devices), and a 10% chance that they are straight up unsafe. Benson is no longer updating his list AFAIK,

I don't get why this person is being downvoted. He's right. There is such a thing as overengineering, and the UK plug is the poster child.

It may be useful to note that the US government transferred control of DNS to ICANN in September 2016. I searched HN, and this seems to be the biggest thread from back then: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12612033 At

Yeah, but this is astrophotography _and_ it's from Nasa, so it's what it would look like with ultra-long exposure, lots of photoshop, and false color. If we extrapolate the naked eye view, it'd be a grayish smudge at best.

It is a pretty good password. Just "hunter" is no good because it has no digits, so of course you'd add a "1"... but wait! It's actually a 2! That's the pro security twist the hackers won't expect.
