mici··on The six dumbest ideas in computer security (2005)
IEEE S&P, USENIX Security, ACM CCS, NDSS
mici··on EU Parliament Civil Liberties Committee adopts position on CSAR
The original title was "EU Parliament Decides That Your Private Messages Must Not Be Scanned" and it was linked to a different article, I think this comment was written before the title and the url were changed.

mici··on These Stupid Trucks are Literally Killing Us
I imagine only streets with pedestrian traffic would have to be changed, not inter-city roads and highways.
mici··on Waymo CEO dismisses Tesla self-driving plan: “This is not how it works”
They meant the YouTube video of the Taiwanese crash from the 1st of June last year.
mici··on Kids find a security flaw in Linux Mint by mashing keys
This link does not show what you think it will show (pretty much NSFW).

mici··on Applying to PhD Programs in Computer Science (2014) [pdf]
This varies within Europe as well, for example in Hungary our bachelor was 3.5 years, the master 2, and the PhD 4.
mici··on Laravel 7
Laravel Airlock is my favorite thing about this release. I already started using it for one of my sites, it makes API authentication so much easier than it used to be with Passport.

mici··on Ask HN: How do you protect your parents from tech scammers?
What should one look for in e-mail headers to spot spoofing?
mici··on Ask HN: How many email addresses do you actively use?
Not OP, but I'm in a similar situation, so I though I'd share my insight, in case you're interested.

I prefer a desktop client because it's more lightweight than a web browser, I can keep it running indefinitely, I don't have to worry about accidentaly closing it and not receiving notifications afterwards. I can also have a dedicated icon in the tray that shows the number of new messages.

mici··on Instagram is down
Interesting, it's Facebook that doesn't load for me, Instagram works.
mici··on Strava fitness tracker reveals military base
Here is the post from yesterday if someone (like me) missed it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16249955
mici··on Freedom of Information Release on Nikola Tesla (2011)
These documents were released a year ago, and were declassified in 1980.
mici··on Object-oriented Programming in vanilla JavaScript
Yes, sorry if that was unclear, I meant plural vs singular.
mici··on Object-oriented Programming in vanilla JavaScript
Great article! A few things have caught my eye:

> MyApp.users = MyApp.user || {};

Is this a typo, or intentional? If it is intentional, can someone explain the thought behind it?

Also, in some examples Medium (or the author's text editor) seems to have changed apostrophes and quotation marks, this makes the examples harder to try.

mici··on Wikipedia with better readability
There is no spacing between the info box and the main text, this decreases readability for me.
mici··on Facebook launches Stories in its main app
Did they betatest this feature? I swear I've had it for at least a week or two now, and I've seen some friends post a couple of stories as well. I thought it was much less popular than the stories in Instagram or Messenger, but maybe most of them didn't have the feature yet. Anyway, Snapchat still seems to be by far the most popular for this functionality, at least in my circle of friends.
