I stated specifically that I agree it is bad in situations where you could be MITM. I also agree many people do that. My question here is only how it could effect me or people who follow the practice I follow.

This article seems to be reaching. Reading it through, the basic claim is "Porn is really popular. Serving out streaming porn causes power consumption. Without any really numbers or information, we think that must be bad for the enviro

What is the exact problem here? Who would be doing a MITM attack on someone and how? It doesn't seem to matter to me if my ISP is MITM, because someone inside the ISP would need to cause that. If my ISP is forced to MITM by government

Tabs in browser are a problem for me generally because the basic implementation is tabs along the top of the screen. Once you open more than about 10 tabs, that design fails horribly. Also, in web browsing at least, new tabs opened off of o

Many people I am sure have realized the need for such a thing for many years. You can include me in the list of such people. I am co-founder of a startup producing an ECM product. The product is, amongst other things, designed to be able to

This is a great example of why compiled applications with no sourcecode are harmful and prevent advancement. If the sourecode for Windows Defender was mostly open source, with only critical portions linked in, then it would be possible to i

This PDF makes a lot of good points. I am not a huge fan of it being a PDF though when it could be a simple HTML page. Favorite quote from it: "It should be possible to build interactive and distributed applications from piece parts.&q

At the bottom of the article it says "No-© Update Your Footer Disclaimer: this is neither a vote for nor a vote against content copyrights." Stating "No-©" does not put your content into the public domain. It's mean

I was offered to get glass in one of the initial "exclusive" waves. I turned it down due to having seen the estimates on how much the physical hardware costs to produce and speculation that it may be $500 when actually released to

That's actually a really good idea. Thanks. :)

Perhaps simply have a indicator on articles of whether or not it meets notability then? If you don't want to see "unnotable articles" then you can simply shut off including them in searches.

This is not a naive statement by me caused by assumptions. I actually did exactly this with a patched modern browser and good antivirus and my system became infected in the process. Mind you I indiscriminately clicked on known "bad&quo

Depending on the number and variety of sites that you visit, enabling javascript universally is hazardous. You can easily observe this to be true by clicking 30-50 links randomly as fast as you can in your browser. You will find that inevit

So "tile thought" is now applied to all things Microsoft? I personally prefer lists with expandable details ( an accordion menu ) Also would like to point out that the page is entirely useless without scripts enabled. I use NoScri

I used to contribute to wikipedia. I stopped after a number of articles I created were deleted by "notability nazis". There is a strong favoritism of what people think is notable over what actually is. The rules are not followed a

Specifically I was in need of making an "object" that could have attributes set on it. You can either use lambda:anything_syntax_ok or an empty class. The empty class is much bigger. Lambda is an ugly hack but it works...

I think google should make a system where you can play these puzzles by simply asking to and then agreeing not to share your solutions with anyone. That way, any hacker news people who would like to do so can. Sure people could enable googl

Taking a look at the CSS code included on the page I see things related to "terminal-output" and "editor". This corresponds with what the poster says the page does. There seem to be "question_options" also; lik

The title of this post is misleading. To bypass something means to work around it, not to already be past it. If your machine is not hacked, and is encrypted, and you don't run any unsafe binaries, then the FBI cannot "bypass&quot

Conforming to the norm leads to stagnation as progress requires change. Teams don't change the status quo, they just get known tasks finished faster. Sure, if you just want to get by in life and be moderately happy then your advice is

So far as liking one versus the other; they are the same. Nobody is going to say "I like MySQL over MariaDB because I have to change MarioDB options to make it work the same as MySQL".

Why are MySQL and MariaDB shown separately. For all intensive purposes they are the same.

Yes; months of development time were wasted fighting with IT instead of being able to do our jobs. We weren't even allowed to use Git for several months, because it wasn't yet "approved." Even supposing we continued to u

The authorization process for RHEL package approval is questionable. Additionally in house verification process of compatibility of software is questionable. It is hard to argue that using PostgreSQL 9.x is dangerous compared to using Postg

Multiple hour long meetings with all of the internal authorities were involved. They all refused to allow new packages to be installed. Additionally, they were not even providing the proper update packages from RHEL due to system misconfigu
