The title is misleading, they've simply banned a number of IP addresses that belong too Google, those IP addresses were used by Telegram[1]

hsxd··on Cryptocurrencies are collapsing
It will get better, I like to draw parallels to the dotcom bubble–sooner or later we'll see a real collapse and the coins that are actually worth something will rise from the dust. Just like how Amazon and eBay did. This could take a year or three though.

Exactly, a +10% drop in a day is pretty newsworthy for the DOW and wouldn't be called just a correction. Cryptomarkets aren't the DOW, you're more than free to check the yearly charts on coinmarketcap.com, what we're seeing right now is not unusual for the market, and I'm saying this as someone who's been heavily involved for multiple years.
hsxd··on Cryptocurrencies are collapsing
It’s amazing how many people are against crypto currencies for some odd reason. A correction is being called a collapse, this is just pathetic.
hsxd··on High Sierra macOS freezing and stops
I upgraded to high sierra a couple days ago and my MacBook has been freezing AT LEAST once a day. Good on you that you’ve avoided the upgrade, I wish I had too.
hsxd··on High Sierra macOS freezing and stops
This has been happening to me at least once a day ever since I updated. This is my first and last Macbook.

hsxd··on Ask HN: Best independent web analytics tools?
I recently installed Piwik for a client, and I was very impressed with the progress they had made. I like it way more than any other analytics tools I’ve used.
hsxd··on Ask HN: What makes AWS more expensive than their competitors?
I've considered a cluster of servers before, but the server is actually under heavy load most of the time. It's running a LEMP stack and the database is fairly big.
hsxd··on The Apple Watch can detect hypertension and sleep apnea, a new study suggests
I recently got an Apple Watch series 3 (non-cellular) and I can use it for three days before needing to charge it. It’s my understanding that this wasn’t the case with the previous versions, the series 3 battey life has been drastically improved.
hsxd··on From Miami to Shanghai: 3C of warming will leave world cities underwater
They definitely won't be accepted happily, or at all. People have already had enough of immigration and the politics reflect that (the rise of right-wing populists in Western countries.)

My parents migrated from the Middle East in the 80s due to war so I have an insight in what goes on in their country, people leave for Europe in quest of a better life quite often. They spend lots of $$ on it and they still get rejected and sent back, I've had personal experiences with people doing that. I've been thinking about the situation that could arise, and it's worrying.

> I am far more concerned with people in Phillipines, Micronesia, Vanuatu etc who are at risk of losing their homes and livelihoods and literally having no where else to go.

Wouldn't they be able to reach other countries by boat/ferry? With water levels rising around the world, and the Middle East drying up, one can only wonder how many people in these areas will decide to migrate to other countries. I think it's very possible we'll see some kind of mass migration from MENA countries to Western countries if the water crisis doesn't get solved. And i'm not talking about the kind of mass migration we've seen in the recent years, but on a much larger scale.
