Goddammit. I really liked StartCom for free S/MIME certificates and TLS certs that don't expire after a month. So people, is there a comparable free product out there (don't say LetsEncrypt, they don't do S/MIME unl

The article does NOT say to call yourself an engineer instead, it's not nearly that pedantic. It says to say you increase revenues and/or decrease cost, not that you sling code.

I'm as skeptical of Google and any of their initiatives as the next guy, but I'll tell you what, I clicked the AMP link for a WSJ article (from HN web link, obviously), and it displayed instantly . Very un-modern web.

The point I got is this: Just because we can't figure out a physical picture of consciousness doesn't mean there isn't one. Furthermore, it is the physical part that is the big mystery, rather than the consciousness part.

Yeah, the reality of the story isn't nearly as good as the headline. Also, the guy wasn't holding the gun at the time. Still, great headline.

I found an "article" that explains this a bit [0], the gist is that the App Store is the sticking point. But why would this be the case? What does bash have to do with the App Store app? And why are they still allowed to distribut

The article also mentions that you should refill your tank before it hits a quarter tank, is there any truth to that? If so, why?

Yeah I was wondering if there was any rhyme or reason to that order. Completely stupid.

It's an Irish tax bill decided by the EU. Think about that. Starting to think Brexit wasn't such a bad idea after all. Also, spending money puts it back in the economy, and Apple spends plenty. Taxes are probably the worst way for

Two main lessons for me: 1. Always run services (e.g. ElasticSearch) with a unique user dedicated to that service and nothing else. 2. You're never as secure as you think.

Right, I figured this must actually be an anti-knocking technology. My point was just that the quote implied power and economy are optimized by taking the compression ratio in different directions, which is wrong.

Man, like others here I hope this is satire. But the fact that I'm not sure, that I could see this maybe being real, is pretty scary.

Wow, this guy has the completely opposite attitude of me. He seems to think it's a bad thing, an attack!, for users to see just what the hell data you're pulling off someone's phone. And, bizarrely, uses an example of an app

The problem with pinning, as I understand it, is that it prevents me from being able to see traffic from my own computer (via HTTPS proxy). Pinning is fine as long as I can turn it off, but I don't want to completely lose the ability t

It's not about fairness, it's about accuracy. You can't accurately say this is just comparing HTTP and HTTPS; it's comparing HTTP/1.1 and HTTPS/2, why can't you just say that? It's especially irksome

Given that people apparently keep changing their minds right up to voting day (indicated by polls), I think there is actually a lot of noise in the result.

I would hardly call it old fashioned. SI prefixes were just mis-applied to storage sizes, hence the more correct use of kibibyte (kiB) [0], mebibyte (MiB), etc. Hence also Apple's somewhat recent switch to using 1 kB = 10^3 bytes. [0]
