> 1) Ransomware authors have obvious economic incentive to decrypt, and no reason not to. This makes it a herculean task to convince the general public that they wouldn't do so. Its irrelevant, this has nothing to do with the fake r

I was talking about pixel-made signatures; you know, the one the user actually sees when the computer its already infected; not cryptography between public/private keys; otherwise its a chicken and egg problem; how do you know what sig

A non-strawman analogy would be to sell fake heroin that looks exactly like heroin but does nothing at all. This analogy is more exact because the resource you are wasting its the same: money (not lives as in yours)

Acer intel i7 2.50ghz ddr 8gb here, no ssd; the menu opens in about 0.02 seconds. OneDrive uninstalled (not disabled); I don't know about Cortana (haven't seen it anywhere so it doesn't bother me)

I not once have entered that subreddit; my opinions were formed completely by myself; shocking I know.

Yeah, that's exactly what came to mind as well.

How many times have you complained about 99% of soldiers being male? Let me guess, none. Or 75% of suicides being males? Let me guess, none too. Now, how many times you have complained about the gender of artificial computer voices like you

Itch.io looks pretty nice except for the scrollbar on the left, I suggest you to add this in the css to make it look nicer on webkit browsers: https://gist.github.com/Ivanca/95e171e3d575001dd17787ec490c6...

Never mind that, your company is still awesome, and with Tarsnap now running on Windows (10) thanks to the 'Windows Subsystem for Linux' I'm sure it will do a lot better in the coming years.

Amateur soccer is mostly played without a referee -so it usually doesn't punish aggressive players-, and there are no paramedics next to the field to immediately treat any injury/pain, plus little to no aftercare for the muscles&#

Yeah, my comment was a bit more emotional than required and ended up sounding like an ad hominem, but the overall point was that people (not just the author of the piece) vote with their wallet, and they voted that gatekeeping is OK; mostly

Sterilization just means "the process of making something free from bacteria or other living microorganisms", the only "processing" besides that is adding glycerol which is a lubricant/moisturizer, perhaps also help

"publication independence"? Really? The man who is famous among other things for supporting the most closed ecosystem there is around: iOS, where a single company decides what apps are worth publishing and wish ones doesn't.

Exactly, how will this language triumph without the important support of Ukrainian developers? The 0.64% of all developers!

It is not about mods flagging it, is about not un-flagging it (guilt by omission). But sure, there is a chance that what you said is true.

A few of the HN mods are SJW or at least their sympathizers; clearly not @paulg but a few of the younger members.

The thing is that in any modern nation Hitler would likely have been in jail just after the first human rights violations, so he would have to give his speech from jail or something so your hypothetical example is preposterous? Seriously, y

Not really, it was just an example; you can leave blank the Wordpress theme index.php and that way it makes only that request; the problem is more general: Real web sites are full of content (AKA. full of requests), that's just how it

Yeah my bad, it probably says "connections limit", I don't have time to figure out my way around it; other devs may do thought. I just want to fire it up and start working.

I stopped used ngrok because after opening the tunneled URL a few times it started saying "too many HTTP requests" on a Wordpress project. It is common for those to have many images/scripts/styles so throttling by number

Make the ad-hominem more subtle next time; anyway, that time it was a thread about coal pollution and jobs, it was meant as in leaving the town's offspring without jobs (not actually killing them).
