Seemingly-genuine comments like that could be a plausible future step for escalation of advertising. I'd guess there are people who would "rent" access to their active social media accounts to a company operating a bot capabl

But what if it's not enabled? We see traffic from newish IE browsers that have TLS 1.1 and 1.2 turned off. We actually got user complaints that one of our sites stopped working when we turned off TLS 1.0. I have no idea why they would

My understanding is that this is just the OS trying to fetch a known page over HTTP and, if redirected, assuming it got a login portal and presenting it to the user. I assume this can continue "working" (with your noted caveat tha

You seem like you might have this backwards. This isn't a clause creating the option of arbitration in the face of an otherwise guaranteed trip to court - you already have that option. This is a clause removing the option of going to c

If we take as true that our legal system doesn't work and is host to numerous "frivolous lawsuits that can cost companies literally hundreds of thousands or millions of legal fees" then I can understand favoring arbitration a

It's an argument against using red as the only warning sign. Compare to Chrome's https indicator- it turns the " https://" part of the URL green (which I can barely distinguish as different, so it is useless

Haven't tried in the preview build but this is still the case in the recent Windows 10 build I have.

If you draw the line there you're probably running a dozen "logging services" on any given system.

The general guidelines are in the policy [0], linked from the launch announcement [1], but each agency's CIO is responsible for the particulars at their org. If it's not a new project post-August it won't contribute to the 20

The 20% number is part of the initial 3-year pilot program, not necessarily the ultimate goal. That's also the mandatory minimum, with agencies "strongly encouraged" to release as much as possible. See the policy [0], linked

That is a great point in favor of it being a hit piece, because that's wrong - rndmize pointed out below [0] that it's a misinterpretation of the report. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12862065

Surely missing features would make it the "lesser version of something else."

Weirdly, "subscribing"/"supporting" RPS doesn't seem to remove the ads, or if it does then that's not indicated on the page about it.

The bad idea is being sent a (potentially interceptable) SMS with a code. The Estonian method is described as using a private key present on the SIM card, just like a normal smart card used for authenticating/signing.

I can play this game too. Only 31% of rapes and sexual assaults against women are committed by strangers. [0] An estimated 10% of female murder victims were killed by a stranger. 29% of male murder victims were killed by strangers. [0] But

I don't disagree, but it's not a double standard to be more irritated by apps that get in your face and drain additional resources.

The web is not your personal money generator. It's a place I go for information. I'm sorry that your fellow developers have made it such a user-hostile place that projects like AMP that defend the user experience make it harder fo

You're literally proving the grandparent comment's point- the best you can come up with is a baseless accusation.

I'm highly skeptical of the claim there would be "armed resistance" to the House choosing McMullin to be president.

Allowing women to dress inappropriately has a societal cost greater than the life of one child. Many lives could be ruined by the moral failures encouraged and enabled by bare flesh.

I think it's a stretch to think most reviewers will care about the legality (especially because it's pretty unlikely to get enforced against them) but it may get the "career reviewers." I wonder what proportion of these

This is directly due to the (in my opinion unethical) actions of established companies (like Pebble) treating it like a trendy preorder store. Kickstarter themselves have been clear on this since launch.
