Is Kite's behavior still as shady as it used to be?

The owner (who is now auctioning it) did, that is.

In more concrete terms, of their ~1000 employees, 600 are in St. Petersburg, their largest office by far.

Kind of. OS X uses the userspace and maybe some pieces of the kernel (like the network stack) but never used the BSD kernel wholesale. AFAIK, it doesn’t have jails.

To be fair, I think TikTok was to some extent a Vine clone.

Huh, TIL the packet isn't normal. Growing up here, it seemed obvious.

In a state with in-person voting, if someone tells you they'll give you $50 to vote for their candidate, you can take the $50, go to the ballot box, and vote for the other person. They'll be none the wiser. In WA, on the other han

Conspicuously missing for me: - Always-visible word count (added recently, but missing for nearly a decade) - Custom text styles—you can modify the existing ones, but not create new ones with new names

Some times, there's one feature that's so useful it justifies the lack of many others. Google Docs is a terrible word processor compared to Word or even Pages, but being able to edit a document at the same time as someone else (wi

My understanding is that there will never be a consumer-facing browser called "Servo." Instead, pieces of Servo will get merged into Firefox as they become production-ready (this has already begun). Presumably, eventually everythi

As far as I know, there's no algorithm doing it. People put it in the title themselves, or mods do if they forgot.

There's a (human-enforced) HN rule to do that for old articles, so they're not mistaken for news. I'm not sure what the standard for "old" is, but it isn't 2019 anymore, so I guess it's technically correct

IIRC, some states have laws requiring all data breaches to be reported to the state. I know WA has one, apparently Vermont does too.

My interpretation was this: - because games are software, it is hard to enforce that people “selling” them don’t keep a copy for themselves as well - apparently, this may have allowed an exemption from the “must allow reselling” rule - beca

That was my reaction too. I'd expect that if it was intentional, they would have gotten rid of the URL handler.

iOS no longer gives apps a list of nearby APs (unless they have location access anyway), for precisely this reason.

Do you happen to have a city-by-city breakdown of the responses anywhere?

I've generally seen decentralized as a synonym for federated, not distributed.

The terminology I've most commonly seen used is this: Centralized = One central system runs everything (i.e. Twitter, Facebook) Decentralized = Multiple central systems run everything, but they talk to each other and you can build your

It looks like Keybase is using mobile.twitter.com. I just ran `sudo tcpdump -x host mobile.twitter.com` while browsing to ahnick's profile in the Keybase app on my Mac, and got a flurry of activity. It doesn't seem to do that if I

IIRC a PGP key is one of the “third parties” you can attach to your account, so assuming that the app checks those, you could get verifiable E2E that way. I’m also quite surprised by your findings about Keybase not checking verifications—my
