   Yeah, there were a few highly-publicized cases of bike vandalism in Singapore but thankfully it seems to be subsiding. I'm actually seeing a lot more bikes from multiple bike-sharing companies around my neighbourhood these days. It&#x2

   Ah, I stand corrected, looks like the blog belongs to him, but the article itself was written by someone else (@williampietri).

   Could you change the title to something more neutral? E.g. "Gemstash project owner accuses Google intern of violating their MIT license"? From the discussion on the Github issues page it's starting to look like a mistake (las

    I feel like it's already mainstream, in Singapore at least. I was getting a haircut at the neighbourhood barbershop and I overhead the shop owner talking about cryptocurrency with a female customer -- stuff like regulatory issues, Sato

    I'm not sure if you knew this, but newscientist is a long-running magazine with heavy international circulation.

    Just a little suggestion; make the title bar stop expanding (on mobile) when you scroll back to the top. I've already seen the site logo and slogan the first time, after all.

    TBH you'd have the same problem if you based your image off an intermediate Debian/Ubuntu-based image. I always build my images directly off Alpine anyway, or a base image that I control. (In this case though, the security fix is

    I don't understand your conclusion. The exploit in the article was reported to the Alpine Linux maintainers and the fix was promptly made to apk-tools ( https://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/commit/?id=b

    I'm surprised it's still on the front page despite the flagging, maybe HN did change something.

    To summarize: the article reaches a conclusion that's a complete opposite of its title.

    How is Akamai optional for a user? If you're saying that it's optional for publishers, then your argument doesn't make sense since AMP is optional for publishers as well (I mean, the author disabled it and all).

    You have to be careful about the type of licenses as well. Happened to me, luckily it was a tiny library and there was an alternative available. See anything with a "cute" license, such as WTFPL? Don't use it for work.
