I find it interesting that someone comes along and says, "No one can have a proper dialogue about this here" which then leads to a response of "What you are doing is silencing the victim & being complicit in rape culture.

I keep looking for that and I haven't found any copy that supports the notion they have client-side encryption, so it's a non-starter for me :-(

IIRC the MIT prof. only counted those that hit the missile head-on, not from behind or the side as there is the possibility of any onboard warhead surviving. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-21751766

"A 16-19 year old, no matter how intelligent, doesn't have much wisdom." I couldn't help but be reminded by the Good Will Hunting scene - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBjWHfBHKos

"pluck disadvantaged youths from the ghetto, trailer park, or whatever" ... "see if they can become productive citizens" Wow, just wow.

Yup. And let's not forget, that's usually for Show HN, whereas this is a full-on company release/announcement ... not the typical "check out what I made over the week/weekend" where there are bound to be more

The moment they announced Condoleezza Rice I closed my Dropbox account and moved to SpiderOak (playing with OwnCloud now). Not having full e2e encryption is an absolute deal-breaker for me. The service looks nice and I like that I can play

So then why not do a test to see if injecting grammatical and spelling errors into a friend's post changes one's smug sense of superiority over them? I mean, sure it might be manipulative but hey, that's what ads are, right?

I look forward to you producing a list of all representatives and senate candidates that are against these privacy violations, with citations of course.

Hit elite as a 114 and 148 lb powerlifter (already have elite totals for 123 and 132). Also did a 60km erg piece years ago and I'm forever bitter I never did the century, so getting back into endurance as well.

There is too little info :-( What are examples of trips people have taken, where did they stay using your service, what activities did they do? There should be an "examples" section giving more insight into the travel offers ava

First I would ask if it makes sense for you to do with an "agile" approach. If you can look at the overall project and realize that it makes more sense to do it another way, I would push back, but you may not have that option, so

Fair enough! As long as you keep up the moderation we should be good, hehe.

by mkal_tsr 12y ago
Would you consider making Show HN posts text only? That way the submitter provides background info / context, why they made the service, what they hope to do with it, etc. I think requiring text-only for Show HN will help minimize pe

"Edit: some say it's not really the XKeyscore code" Yeah, looking at the code it definitely involves TOR, but I'm really interested in the "searching for these Tools -> you're now flagged" claim+proof

"According to the source code will be labeled as extremists in XKeyscore users when they search the internet for anonymizing tools like Tor or Tails, thanks to the global monitoring of search queries." Holy fuck this is disturbing

Yup, that's the big issue in my opinion. Their TOS never had research as condition that you accept. When Reddit decided to use their data-set for research and make it available, they had a public blog post explicitly calling it out an

I'm turning a side-side-project into one (which itself was part of a side-project turned commercial project). Oldest project (SP) has seen money, current SSP has not, but it's nearing launch.

As someone paying for Filepicker/Ink, it's been great to me ... but ... I've got to ask, as a customer... If I see rebrand, then all founders removed, why should I have confidence that this company is going to be sustainabl
