"picking up women" This is what's wrong with this. I mean, I do know it's a pretty good day for a chauvinistic dude, but that's objectification of women as pleasure devices. "overly-P.C buzzkill" Aw. Someone ruined making fun of women for y

That's one of the more annoying things about the lies that happen. If we unfairly paint other places as unimaginably horrible, we become immunized to actual abuse happening on our own turf. It just fuels the „what are you complaining about,

I think the thing you might be witnessing here is what earthlings call "sarcasm," or maybe "a thinly veiled threat". I'm not entirely sure which one.

The point is, whatever we think about the litterers, the note is not going to change it. Yes, you can go draconian and put cameras in toilets. Or you can adapt to those people at little cost (in this case, of course — if they drop cigarette

First, I see using the word "chicks" as insanely offensive. That's what probably would get you marked as obnoxious, not the looks. The second thing, getting marked as obnoxious means you're routinely messaging the wrong people. The only cha

Also, another idea: analytics. This is ripe for psychopathic manipulative people, so should be treated delicately, but for people who are just socially awkward, aspergers, or using non-native language this might be a huge boon. After you se

Are you worried of people "obnoxiousing" someone of hatred out of spite? Well, there's two things, one is that only people you messaged can mark you as obnoxious, and only once. Two, hopefully after some tuning, becoming a "recognized pain-

I'm not American. The issues isn't the activity choice, it's the assumption about the goal of the meeting. I find that constraining. By the way, I just thought what I'd like to see in dating websites: (one, stop making them about dating, le

Nonono. Meeting new people is great. Dating sucks. Dating is a half-baked social ritual built around assigning way too much importance towards sexual relationships. I'll happily meet with new people for a coffee, at least as long as they di

Real names? Never. It's way too easy to get a stalker even if you're initially anonymous. It would be just dangerous to use a dating site like that, especially once you add that location function into it. Messages are a pretty important par

This way even user-installed browsers would accept the subordinated cert. It's one of those things I believe should be prosecuted.

I mean that plugins are very unsafe if there's no sandbox. I don't mean they got actually allowed.
826.
by LaGrange 15y ago
Not really. They still can't access files outside of what has already been granted to the main application.
827.
by LaGrange 15y ago
Yeah, I just checked up on the man page, and the agent actually works the way I'd want it to. So it's just a question if a sandboxed app has access to the agent.
828.
by LaGrange 15y ago
I'm suggesting that every single application prior sandboxing was not safely distributed. It's not like anyone had a choice, there was an age before airbags. I also disagree that extensibility is in conflict with sandboxing. As for pro medi

Actually, the sandbox seems like a requirement for safely distributing apps that allow plug-ins.

That would actually be (GUI, it doesn't work like this actually, I think, but what I want would look the same) ideal: you don't get my ssh key. You get an ssh session arranged for by the keychain. Too bad it's probably too much work for s

I mostly agree, with one exception: "SSH keys and agent configuration are automatically picked up, so access to remotes over SSH ‘just works’" Um, no. If there's one thing that's more private than my address book, it's my ssh keys. The fact

Actually, I don't think it's minimalist. It only looks minimalist, which is a quite common situation. I can't find it now, but long ago I read an article about a housing project that included a comment on how many "minimalist" project act

Uh, if they do it after clicking "Find from my contact list", this is totally different, that's opt-in. I do think it should be possible to opt-out from being findable this way, but that's a separate, if related issue.

by LaGrange 15y ago
The fact that address-book upload should be opt-in is obvious, and was stated so many times here it was boring. But, there's also the other side: me, and quite a few of people I know, have good reasons to have an opt-out from being discover

And? So? Ages ago, 9-year olds went to school and nothing happened to them, except when it did, but then they wouldn't write about their own romanticized experiences in a newspaper, so nobody cares about them. Also, "Disrespect was not tole

One reason that is good enough for me: HN is a bit of an echo chamber. It's maintained by a specific VC with specific opinions, which already was a source of some controversy. While I don't see a problem with the existence of opinionated me
