Nobody comes off looking particularly good here. If these corporations are going to act like grade schoolers calling each other names on the playground, I'm inclined to not use either of them. I used NordVPN for about a year a couple o

I love Lady Ada. But I wish I could just read this instead of having to watch a video.

It's definitely done on the backend with Twitter. Probably HN, too.

Anyone else read this and think "Celibate Touch"?

It's worth noting that last time I tried, you can't use this character to tweet a seemingly blank tweet. Twitter correctly disallows this as it would if you tried to tweet a normal space character and nothing else. However, there

Kudos to the submitter. It got me to watch WarGames again. (Even though tic-tac-toe is the metaphor used in the movie, not rock-paper-scissors.)

I understand this meta-strategy on an intellectual level, but I'd find it easier to fully understand with a concrete example or an interactive example. It mentions that this meta-strategy only works if your opponent's strategy is

Perhaps the title should include (2016) as that is when this archive snapshot is from. It's unclear when the page was originally created.

This is interesting. It reminds me of the API behind JSX. But I'm not sure what problem this is seeking to solve exactly. Is it showing that HTML and s-expressions are technically interchangeable?

That's true. I also thought of something like state secrets where a government agent might show up one day and make you disappear. But that type of information is only indirectly dangerous. The actual danger is the government agent or

I disagree having read about people who work as content moderators for websites like YouTube. They frequently suffer from acute forms of PTSD having only passively consumed information. If information can cause PTSD, I would consider that i

This article conveniently sidesteps the fetish aspect of slime, I see.

I found the URL addressing scheme of Redox to be fascinating, if perhaps slightly less user-friendly compared to files and file paths. https://doc.redox-os.org/book/design/url/urls.html

Thanks for tresorit. That was the only one I hadn't heard of. Their pricing structure is a little hard for me to grasp, but I'll be keeping them in mind.

Thank you. This does explain quite a bit.

That's true. But I support socialist policies around things like education and healthcare. Heck, the public education system in the United States /is/ socialist. But good luck getting a politician to admit that. Anyway, my po

I don't understand why I'm being down voted for this comment.

I'm confused by the seemingly interchangeable use of the words "socialism" and "communism" implied in this piece.

The original blog post from Steiger did seem suspect to me when I read it earlier today when this story broke. What's still unclear is what the motive would be to make up or exaggerate such a story.

OP is in the wrong about message contents. Message contents were never compromised to my knowledge. The issue was specifically metadata like login times and IP addresses. Also possibly mail server logs, such as that a user sent a message to

As with many of the other commentors here, I wonder how many programmers truly believe these things. Maybe as recently as the 90s or 2000s. Maybe developers who are fresh out of school. But we've had search engines as a major part of o

I wonder if that one was meant to be controversial as it was the first item. My pedant sense started tingling immediately. Search engines don't work like your standard RDBMS with SQL and whatnot. You can't just make a SQL query wi

I wonder if that's aimed at permissions-based stuff or, like, search bubbling?

Thank you for the clarification. I was waiting for an official statement as this site does seem a bit suspect.

I've heard lots of horror stories about self-hosted mail bouncing as spam. I'd only consider that a last resort, personally.

I have almost completely moved my email from Google to ProtonMail. Now this. It makes me sad. I'm using ProtonVPN as well. So, what are the alternatives?

The original title on HN used the word "rebuttal". It appears to have been changed.

The scroll snapping one doesn't appear to be working for me on Firefox for Android. Unless it is working and I just don't understand what it's doing. EDIT: I just tried it on Firefox Focus, where it absolutely does work. That
