what about this rationale:

> The purpose of the procedure is to provide the European institutions with open source software projects or libraries that have been properly screened for potential vulnerabilities;

I don't think bug bounty is a substitute for certification. And it benefits the most if is a long-run with accumulating rewards.

making it short term with only one payout will only attract people with automated tools for the initial period. Then code will get "certified" and forgotten. It all seems wrong. Hopefully it is just bad wording on the official PR.

interesting read for someone into academia history and socio cultural norms theory. but can't imagine why it is on the HN frontpage.

what's up with HN and these personal-marketing puff pieces? read almost like any old Wired article.

it is a well written fiction, that stretches reality far and wide. Should be in the literature section of the newspaper. why is this even near news?

spoiler: He lost every single game he ever played with his month of "training". And here is a golden passage on the "article":

""" Max played three matches [with amateurs in a park] that day. He lost all three. The only sign his month of preparation might not be an epic waste of time was that one of his opponents happened to be wearing jeans made by G-Star—the same G-Star that once sponsored Magnus Carlsen. """ ...what does that even mean?!

So you tried ONE other product, that is a completely different category (in-ear earphones and earphones are two categories)?

try a decent earphone (i personally like the ones with a wire connecting them both, which doesn't have a charging coffin) and report back.

This comment is absolutely meaningless. You realize none of the models you mention have open sourced drivers, right? thanks to two or three companies that refuse to share their super secret (ha, it is all commodity) code to power the modem, camera, digitizer, SoC, etc.

All those devices will continue to only be supported for <4 years (in the very best case!) and then off to increase the "outdated devices" count or the landfill!

and now everyone thinks facebook give them 100% of their traffic

last time i powered it on was a few months ago when i found out there was a Sam&Max point'n click game for it!

"The word hippie came from hipster and was initially used to describe beatniks who had moved into New York City's Greenwich Village and San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district."

You mean, how the standards have been appropriated by the mass culture behemoths trying to simplify history into easily digestible ad ridden programs.

dancing till 3am and biking at 6am are two sides of the same coin. Both will "kill" a good chunk of your "free time".

you are pretty much describing some Hindu or Taoist religious "retreats".

In India they are very accessible. People usually send kids with back problems, etc to those Yogi cities for a few months. Has a high success rate curing most things too.

...That said, they might even match your misogyny since yogi are male only.
