Truth is we don't know that the subdomain got leaked. The example user agent they give says that the methodology they're using is to scan the IPv4 space, which is a great example of why security through obscurity doesn't wo

Too many on HN seem to forget that Safari exists and has a large market share. If you break Safari then no one on an iPhone or iPad can use your site. That's an unacceptable level of breakage for almost every site, and is enough to ens

Can you point me to GIMP's Terms of Use? All I can find is the GPL, which doesn't say anything about collecting data. I also checked OBS Studio and LibreOffice for good measure with the same result—I can only find a straightforwar

As was extensively discussed yesterday [0], their argument about why they had to change the terms actually makes things worse. They try to pass it off as "California has a bad definition of selling" but the definition of selling t

I don't disagree (in that I can't think of one either), but that makes this a terrible subject for an HN thread. We have other forums for collectively bemoaning the state of the world, we don't need that to spread to here. It

Rather odd policy choices is an understatement. The context to keep in mind here is that Mozilla purchased an ad company back in June. They spent money on it, and they will move to earn a return on investment. Absent that context this cou

Thanks for providing an actual argument! That said, correlation does not imply causation, and I'm unconvinced that the polarization we're seeing now traces back that far. Pew's research [0] shows that in '94 only 21% (Re
