My thoughts exactly. But, then again, I'd have to think that the people law enforcement is seeking aren't all that bright to begin with. Even if they used the software, they'd likely ignore its warnings in favour of satisfying their sick cr

Indeed, because it's pattern based - it does not automatically assume that the adult is "smarter", but that any person whose communications are too far off the normal curve will, presumably, get flagged. Kids, be like everyone else, or we'l

Can I get my nickel, please? I was promised one every time the phrase "they're selling an /experience/" was uttered.

Congratulations on being the only person in this thread with two feet on the ground. Interesting discussion, nonetheless. But purely academic.

There are lots of things you can do - many of them depend on exactly who you are (ie. what jobs you're applying for as well as the experience you have), and some on the specific posting / submission engine you're facing. Terms like "profici

I find this a very interesting topic. Character sets and their encodings are usually completely invisible to the end user, and often even to the engineers working on the system. But, when a problem rears its head, it can be nasty. A great e

I wouldn't argue with the notion of Jobs being "delicate", that's for sure. And, apparently same goes with the feelings of the HN crowd toward all things Apple.

TRWTF is that it took Jobs and Apple's thousands of employees how many years to notice this? Either that, or his answer is pure BS and has nothing to do with why Apple made this decision now .

I agree. I think HN is becoming a victim of it's own success, and it's UI wasn't built to scale. (aside - that's a challenge to all you folks interested in ux ;) ). I would say that we definitely need a way of detecting duplicate submission

I was expecting this to be about editing your hosts file or subscribing to an alt dns service. Fail.

I wondered what exactly was being measured here too. I checked around the site quickly but found no answers. Bah. Might as well be made up numbers as far as I'm concerned.

The tests for BRCA1 and BRCA2 have been around for decades. Here in Evil Socialist Canada, our governments have been paying the patent holders for this genetic test $200 a pop and providing genetic screening to our citizens for free for at

I hate url shorteners too, for all the reasons the author lists and more. But the article is wrong in stating "They serve no purpose other than to create a short link..." Actually, while that is their primary purpose, they are very attrac

If you buy a copy of a copyright-able work, you are a licensee. The "copyright holder" is the person who owns the legal ability to specify and grant the rights under which the work may be copied.

I've long used jEdit as my text editor of choice for coding html, perl and php. jEdit is pretty much just another in its class that will give you syntax highlighting, regex search and replace, macros, and a few other nifty programmer-friend

Yeah, I agree with your overall point. In general, a sign of mediocrity in any field is someone who over-uses jargon in any field. As much as I hear people throw around "design pattern" terminology, I also see overkill on the now-en-vogue t

I wasn't sure whether to upvote this article, until I got to this line: > Design patterns are a universal language that few people speak, a sort of Esperanto for programmers. Exactly. And I fully expect many of the hackers here to chime

At the risk of sounding like a troll, that's because iP[hone|ad] users aren't as interested in reading. Apple's niche has always been with the visual, not the verbal, crowd.

Congrats again, Gabriel! I don't use Tor myself (atm, at least), but I admire your efforts to help address this concern for people. DDG is impressing me more and more every day. It's been the default in my search bar for a couple weeks now,

Hey rlpb, Sorry, I tried to reply to your post about 4 times yesterday, and it never went through for some reason. I agree with what you're saying about self-signed certs being not necessarily broken. Maybe I mis-read your original message,

Users can differentiate between "amazon.com" and "amazone.com" via the browser's location bar. There's nothing stopping the owner of "amazone.com" from getting an SSL cert signed by a "trusted authority", so SSL does not help in this respec

Fair question. I just checked what exactly the warning message says in IE, and it's actually a pretty fair warning message. Firefox, on the other hand, has a pretty scary "This connection is untrusted" page with a pretty confusing explanati

I've used a self-signed cert for years, and eventually I got over being annoyed at browsers for lying to users and telling me that the cert was not to be trusted. The fact is, as I'm sure most at HN know, that SSL tries to solve two problem

I think you would still have to count that as a security failure. For one, you don't know why there is ssl and non-ssl - there could be content that's available over ssl and/or via login which you don't see using the "public" http url schem

Congratulations.... Since it's still "pre-announce" phase, I'll point out the collision with "Ceph" ( http://ceph.newdream.net/ ), which may or may not be of concern to you and the team.
