No offense to Cameroon, but they should have never allowed .cm TLDs in the first place for this reason.

Great! Apologies if my older post was a bit curt. I'm glad you're building this. btw, have you seen the 2FA List? https://twofactorauth.org/

> I try to keep my posts substantive because I strongly value that aspect of HN Thanks for trying. I've been noticing more reddit-like comments lately and it's tiring since it worsens the signal:noise ratio here.

You would need a professional organisation to lobby for laws, but I don't see engineers in the industry coming together and forming one. Professional organisations were a way to keep people out of a field by requiring them to have the

Yeah those are good points. It is a pity Reddit has become the go-to discussion platform because you have one identity tied across multiple interests (unless you happen to create specialised accounts). It's also plagued with the eterna

Assuming the database really deletes those records and doesn't just flag them as "deleted".

If a person has a personal domain registered, a whois search may offer up information (which may or may not be accurate). Most registrars will now hide your info for an additional fee.

This makes me a bit nostalgic for the older days when you just assumed you were chatting with a bunch of other weirdos online, so everyone went by aliases. And if you ever tired of your old identity, you'd shed that old screenname, sig

Why not just create a new account every few weeks? It's trivially simple on reddit and HN, and they offer you some degree of anonymity unlike Facebook. Like Sharparam, reddit search results can be fruitless because of all the deleted a

Love the site. It's clear and to the point. One thing, if I may add, is that you need a link from the "about" page back to the main page. Thanks again for sharing!

I agree with you, but the reality is that domain registrations lapse, the niece/nephew who set up the initial web site went away to college, passwords are forgotten. All these responses about setting up your own web site are similar to

The money probably helps, especially given the Bay Area cost-of-living. The FB employees I've met have been fine with explaining away the consequences of their actions with "oh it's just a job", "that's not my

Not to mention, as a SPA, Medium is a total failure. Trying to read a string of comments on Medium results in a bunch of unnecessary clicks and page reloads. I guess it's upping their click count..

Yes, that's my personal experience as well. However, I've also contributed to Google Maps (and OpenStreetMaps) for missing locations that weren't entirely new. I don't have any data, but I would not be surprised if a sig

Is there some sampling bias with FOSS? Most people working on a FOSS project are passionate about it. People working traditional, physically centralised jobs do it because they need money.

I've been casually keeping an eye out for a 15" mid-2015 MBP and someone had mentioned in their ad that Apple still made them, and sure enough. If you're looking at 15", B&H has slightly cheaper offerings and they wo

fwiw, you can still buy a new 15-inch 2015 MBP from Apple and B&H Photo. Apple tries to downplay it on their site, but it's there: apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro?product=MJLQ2LL/A&step=config# (Purposely

iOS 10 is on the left; iOS 11 is on the right. For me, having the subtle details like having a thin gradient border for the PIN input gives those "buttons" a more refined look compared to just flat discs.

Yes please. Apple had a good balance between skeuomorphism and minimalism a few years ago, but as Jony Ive & Co. strip out decoration for flatness, iOS 11 almost looks unfinished. Case in point: the PIN screen and the calculator app. Lo
