In cyber security there's no such thing as 100% secure. There's insecure, secure, less secure, more secure etc. Always relative because security is not a concrete thing. You can't at any point say this app is 100% secure. Tha

You can't completely remove the trust factor no matter what you do. Can you completely 100% trust your computing device? Maybe. Can you 100% trust your network? Maybe. But things like encryption help build trust. They ensure that there

There are downsides to everything. This whole blog sounds like an excuse: "we don't want to apply E2EE because it can be a little inconvenient so we will just go ahead and store everything in plaintext because who cares!" You

I think this is a good idea ONLY as a fallback. Email deliverability is a very real problem even if it happens to only 1% out of 99% of your users. What happens when a customer emails saying they can't verify their account because they

It took Linux desktop some 20 years to reach the point where you could just use it i.e., no tinkering needed, everything works by default, you install the software you need and that's it. It's not perfect even now but it's

All of those are supported in Parse as well. ORMs are a feature, not a bug. Writing SQL is all well and good but if you have GraphQL, it's not an issue. I think the whole point behind tools such as Supabase & Parse is a well define

Not to crash the party or anything. Supabase is great and all (congratulations BTW on such a huge series B!) but in terms of feature completeness and getting actual products built, it doesn't come close to Parse[0]. Same with Appwrite.

Finally! Amazon should have done this long ago. ePub v3 supports everything MOBI does and it has really extensive support across platforms. This is HUGE for people with a big eBook collection.

That's how discussions are. They move from thing to thing which is what makes them so interesting. If HN always stayed focused strictly on a single topic, you'd only find replies like "yes, I agree." The fact that people

Not sure why the author is complaining. Commenting on a blog and writing a blog have never been confused. No one has ever compared commenting to writing a blog. Commenting has it's own place. If you don't like the comments, maybe

Technically speaking, how is signing up with a Tutanota email different than signing up with another email? What does an email address actually reveal to Microsoft which they can use for tracking users?

I would like to remind you that US is the ONLY country that actually has decimated 2 (not 1) cities using nuclear warheads. So saying that Russia has that capability while America doesn't is simply false. Did not America threaten to us

Wars have always been horrifying. This war is no exception. The only difference now vs then is that the general public has Internet & social media. The terrors are now 100 times magnified. In truth this war is not special in any way. It
