I am absolutely not criticizing your decision; you’re perfectly within your rights to refuse to deal with all the rigamarole of GDPR compliance. It’s easier and only 5% of your revenue, so why even bother. And I completely understand the is

It’s what makes HN the most civilized community I’ve encountered in a long, long while. These small niceties, though insignificant on their own, make a significant difference in setting the tone for this place.

There are plenty of people accessing their banks on public / insecure networks; it’s folly to assume that MITM attacks just can’t happen. You yourself might not be at risk, but you’re not the only person out there. The assumption is th

I personally think this is a transition period. We’re transitioning into a world where it is not okay to bring sex into the workplace, and to a world where you ask for consent instead of “just going for it”. There’s nothing harmful about th

That can be done easily enough with @media queries, I suppose. It's possible to send a table-less, fully responsive, modern HTML email that is invisible for less-modern clients. It doesn't require anything special and is possible

This is terrific. There have been several situations that I can think of where being able to just transfer files across computers without the help of a network would've made my life a lot easier. The encryption is a nice side-benefit,

It might just be because of the difference in platforms. 32-bit Mac has been gone for half a decade, whereas 32-bit Windows is still out there (32-bit Windows 10 exists), and those wouldn't be able to run 64-bit Chrome, so they may be

It's good to see that it's now possible to fight these NSLs off. The people receiving them can require a court to review the NSL before complying, and that just seems much, much better to me. The FBI can no longer just gag people

The more websites on HTTPS the merrier. It's interesting that they mention being able to use new HTML/JS features that are now only available over HTTPS. That's one way to push more people for HTTPS even if they don't ca

YES! Meebo was the best. I used to use it on both the web and mobile, all the time. I was extremely disappointed when Google bought them and shut them down just like that.

The problem, I believe, is the market share. If your OS is only on 3 or even 4 out of 10 phones, then you're not in a dominant position, and whatever you do, you're not abusing your market power, which is what antitrust is all abo

The emoji craze has had the nice side-effect of forcing a lot of projects to make sure their stuff supports Unicode properly, because now it's something that even English-speaking software users can appreciate. It's a good thing.

Can this be exploited by VPSs, docker containers, and the like? As throwaway2048 mentioned, this can be executed from regular JS, so it's not a difficult thing to exploit, and it seems that ECC RAM doesn't help, so any server with
