Glad to see that the superiority complex of the scene is still alive and well... Everyone needs an onramp to discovery. There are WAY worse things to be into than Green Day. But please, don't let me stop you from telling Hacker News

Exactly. HongKongers dont consider themselves Chinese. https://www.hongkongfp.com/2019/06/28/hongkongers-identifyin...

Is that really the right course of action, given the protests are a push back against China asserting control and surveillance over HK's citizens?

Within Google there are several tools, but the most common (and IMO best) is markdown. (Docs is a close second.) Pros: Get's checked in like code, gets reviewed, and leaves a nice paper trial of edits. Cons: Doesn't invite comm

Is this intended to be a solution for people who are unable to do DNS-over-TLS (which seems like a much better solution to this problem).

I never said it was fair play, I disputed that it was a "bizarre tactic". There is a trademark angle to your example, so if DDG has a Trademark argument, they should challenge (although "duck" is pretty broad, so I doubt

I'm not sure that I agree that owning a domain is a bizarre tactic.

I disagree on the "more electron" front. Running old Chrome with known vulns packaged up into an app is not the direction I'm looking for ChromeOS to go. I'll take an app in a tab, please.

Sad to see AirVPN excluded. While their website isn't the most elegant I've seen, it's not user hostile enough to abandon altogether, IMO. It also seems a bit odd to rate VPNs on their specific technical merits and features,

I'm pretty sure that changing your password does NOT revoke your oauth scopes, which was the attack vector here.
16.
by bitskits 9y ago
Yes, I agree, although revoking the scope should remove the access (and I assume Google did that for everyone already).

by bitskits 9y ago
What attack vector does changing your password help with? Are you concerned they could have recovered the account password via the Oauth scope?

California native here. This is the first time I've ever heard anyone say this about LA. Most generalizations usually go the other way; this is new. To be clear, all the generalizations are bad, IMO, but this perspective is new, and

There are several counterpoints to your opinion that Uber is a bastion of values and respect. Here are a few (excluding the many incidents involving drivers): 1. Your CEO refers to the impact of his company on his sex life as "Boober

Google's OpenDNS servers are not down, they are recursive resolvers, and are not getting data from Dyn's authoritative resolvers. OpenDNS caches DNS data for longer than other recursive DNS providers (they call it smartcache, IIR

This is sadly true, but I think we also need to reject that this is the new normal. We need to continue to push back firmly on secret government request without oversight.

This would be a brilliant long game phishing attack. You have regular emails with links arriving that people think they have to click or bad things will happen. Not saying at all that's what this is, just that the thought popped into

Minor nit: shocked, not electrocuted, since you're thankfully still with us. :) Electrocution is death by electric shock (that's the '-cution' part, like execution).

This is a little pedantic and doesn't change your point, but Google is not an LLC. It's a C Corporation.

Does Encryptr support 2FA? I don't see any mention on the landing page or on Github. EDIT: After more digging, it looks like it does not, but may in the future. https://github.com/devgeeks/Encryptr/issues&#
