subie··on Show HN: Octotrack – automatic dependency and security manager for Ruby apps
I couldn't help but notice the wordpress php code on the background image.
subie··on Ask HN: Does anyone else go right the comments?
I always go comments first. Too many articles on the front page are sensationalists pieces with no real information.

The intelligent comments are what keep me on HN.

subie··on Facebook won't release Russia-linked ads despite call to do by US investigators
I believe the issue here is "publicly" releasing the ads. FB just had a trending story yesterday about turning the ads over to investigators.

Bad title perhaps? Title from article: "Facebook refuses government request to publicly release Russia-linked election ads"

subie··on Show HN: Discover the tech stack for any website
Yup and this doesn't seem to be stacking up well against it.
subie··on The Equifax Chief Security Officer Received a BA and MFA in Music Composition
Nobody is outright saying she doesn't have the experience. Clearly some employees at Equifax were ignoring security vulnerabilities. The first person you look at is the CSO.

The Linkedin doesn't paint the whole picture but it could indicate something and that what's being pointed out.

This isn't an attack on a single person it's an attempt to figure out how the biggest breach of user information in history went down.

> LinkedIn shows endorsements by tens of people at each of her jobs in the specific labels "Information Security", "Disaster Recovery", and "Business Continuity"

You're right, She was qualified.

subie··on The Equifax Chief Security Officer Received a BA and MFA in Music Composition
Equifax's Chief security officer may have had a lack of knowledge in the domain she was hired for(A very important role).

They ignored security warnings from Apache and now we have the fallout from the breach. So did the CSO's lack of security knowledge aide in the breach? If so that is on Equifax for hiring her into that role.

> I don't see what the problem is here.

The massive breach of personal information.

subie··on How one man built a $51m theme park for his disabled daughter
I plan on doing the same after a few million appear in my back account.

The thought of having something like Top Thrill Dragster in my backyard gets me very excited.

subie··on Show HN: Professional profile management tool built using React
That all I saw too. Definitely not using until I can use any email address.

EDIT: Found this page https://www.hiration.com/accounts/signup/

Idk if that actually creates an account for the tool though.

subie··on Atom 1.20
Tried VSCode. Thought Atom was still a cleaner experience.

Package system doesn't get much better than Atom. I think my code looks better on Atom (still not better than Sublime). I also ran into setup problems with VSCode git support on Linux.

subie··on iPhone X
Incredible, just imagine what 2018 brings us.

subie··on Google is paying Apple billions per year to remain on the iPhone
Startpage is Google without user targeting. Apple switching to SP (or similar) would still return Google search results but severely hurt Google if SP really does as they say.

I'd imagine legal ramifications for Apple but I do think Apple has options that keep Google paying billions.

subie··on Google is paying Apple billions per year to remain on the iPhone
The question is does Google have any other options? No.

Apple could use many alternatives (DDG, Startpage) or make their own. Google is lucky they get to pay a few billion instead of contending with Apple Search or Apple switching to alternatives.

subie··on Ask HN: Have you successfully moved away from Google search?
* Moved from Chrome to Vivaldi[1].

* Switched from Google Search to DDG or Startpage.com[2] (which is basically a google proxy)

* Moving off Gmail and switching to Yandex.Mail[3].

subie··on Ask HN: Has Y Combinator ever accepted sibling founders?
Stripe

subie··on New Relic ending Server and legacy alert features
> After the EOL date, New Relic Servers and the legacy alerting features will no longer be available in the New Relic user interface and data processing will stop. Also, New Relic Alerts will only be available for paying accounts and will be removed from non-paying accounts starting on the EOL date.

The biggest change here is that it severely limits New Relic's free plan.

subie··on Ask HN: Hello World- Rising from the Ashes
> Does that mean I should avoid putting anything on HN as long as it is not related to new tech or about the code?

From the HN Guide

What to Submit:

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

subie··on Ask HN: Hello World- Rising from the Ashes
To be completely honest: Nobody on HN cares about your first blog post. Well..most won't but some may say congrats.

People come here for technical discussions or for gathering around a new piece of tech being released.

Your first blog post is more for Twitter while your first open source project would be great for HN.

subie··on How CNN found the Reddit user behind the Trump wrestling GIF
We're in the twilight zone.

What's worse, the president peddling memes on his twitter or CNN going on a witch hunt after it got 'bullied' by a Reddit User.

subie··on Hallit Social Network App
What is interesting? you're not showing anything about how the site works.

Should I join purely because it's "stronger, safer and better" ?
