   Even to scammers, answer must be proportionate. Google should put in place a better solution to deal with frauds. They have the resources, not the will apparently. Their customer service sucks big.

   Apple has a "long" history of differentiating ports by left and right (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12711127 ) which has been frustrating to me. For instance sometimes the left USB port "dies&quot

   I was very disappointed too, however I've seen similar disappointments when Apple dropped CDROM, usb, audio jacks etc. Eventually everyone gets used to it, and admittedly they are trying to simplify the keyboard IMHO. I'm super ha

    I was referring to the author of the blog post. As far as I know there is just one person authoring GWAN web server. (funny thing the site is down, maybe given the traffic brought by HN, and I assume the web server hosting the blog is GWAN

    I gave Typora a test drive with Readme.MD from Github. The rendering is considerably different, too early to use it. IntelliJ IDEA MD support is still the best tool IMHO.

    As an heavy user of session restore and tons of open tabs, I would be OK ignoring updates to tabs that have not been active for a while. For example, let's say I have 10 tabs open but I have been using only the latest tab during the la

    I've been looking for super minimal Debian images as docker baselines, perhaps someone could marry the two ideas of quickly testing Linux distros with docker and live distros on CD/USB. On an unrelated note, the web site is unread

    Perhaps someone could come up with a service saying "sorry, this password has already been used somewhere on Internet, are you sure you want to proceed?". Sites would have to adopt it, a-la re-captcha

    QA is disappearing in MS, replaced by a couple of buzzwords: "cross functional" and "DevOps". i.e. noone has a clue about what they are accountable for, and individual teams come up with their definitions of done.

    What you're describing is a UX problem that Google and Apple could easild solve, using the phone camera to scana QR and call some URL. I think that for the avg user that would be simpler, and in terms of security it would be better.

    sure we need a breakthrough, but we also need high demand to increase investments on research. Games and apps like PG help with that
