It's important to differentiate between the file format and software that renders that file format. Admittedly there are better and worse PDF viewers, but that shouldn't be the final (or even most important) determiner of how important it is.

Still amazed that anyone uses this site for more than trivial work, given that this language exists in their TOS:

"GitHub has the right to suspend or terminate your access to all or any part of the Website at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately. GitHub reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time."

Even if you're a billionaire - $850M is not chump change. I would have a non-trivial time walking away from that much money no matter how much I was worth.

joker.com - it is a Swiss company, and presumably would be harder to have my domains taken away than if it were a US company (not that I am expecting any such thing! but...). No tricks on pricing, the UI is decent but could be better organized, offer easy registration of just about any TLD, and they offer 2FA.

Math is hard!

You don't know that. Apple could very well release an iOS 10 update for this.

Okay.

Pretty surprised F-Secure Freedome wasn't mentioned - they're a major player and well-respected.

IT'S NOT A TECHNOLOGY PROBLEM

Any word on when this will get rolled out?

A very limited and explicit list of what can cause account/content restrictions/deletions. We have to know what behaviors/content can trigger this, otherwise it's just groping around in the dark, which is an awful way to run a business.

Section K.3. is very problematic - it is (essentially) the same as the previous TOS. It states that github can restrict/delete your account for any reason, at any time, without warning. This may be fine for trivial projects, but if you're running a business and relying on github for actual revenue, this is completely unacceptable. I have asked people about this, and their answer has essentially been, Cross our fingers and pray it doesn't become a problem. I won't use github for anything remotely serious until this substantially changes.

Yet another "my programming language is better than your programming language" blog post - have we really not progressed beyond this?

Thanks for the link! I knew something was wrong when days went by and there were no updates...

"I'm not here to raise awareness! Ok, yes, maybe that's what I'm doing."

That's awesome - I have to buy more shit now.

For the vast majority of people, the headphone jack with built-in DAC and existing headphones are very sufficient. The forced push of new tech which doesn't improve anything other than hw manufacturers' profits is just maddening.

Exactly. If you can't handle being asked about breakfast, the problem is with you, not the host.

Very meta

Do you have any (high) political connections in Germany? You could try to ask for a (huge) favor - have someone in the German consulate ask their Chinese counterparts for a(another huge) favor, and get the Chinese govt to shut them down. A long shot, but if you have the right friends, it might work.

OR, you could use already well-established key servers, e.g. pgp.mit.edu. Why reinvent the wheel?

I prefer using CANTHAPPEN in the comment - easier to grep for.

This is very bad writing, with very bad logic. Not worthy of HN.

Terrible article - essentially arguing that system updates are backdoors. This is only going to scare people into being wary of applying valid OS updates, which means missing out on critical security updates.

Can someone fix the typo in the headline?

I continue to find it amusing that an imaginary animal is being used to describe a(n increasing) number of things that actually do exist.

One would think FB would have in its data store a "This account has been flagged in the past and it has been reviewed and approved no need to review again" checkbox by now
