Great point. Thanks for the link!

Which usually isn't cryptographically secure. So now you need to audit the random number generator and make sure that it has no known holes, including obscure edge cases. And then you need to confirm that any implementation is correct

I agree that it can be interesting and useful to discuss flaws, but potential solutions are what make the discussion worthwhile. Saying "This will never work for X, Y, and Z reasons" creates a much less interesting debate than &qu

Since the developers have been working on the app for three years, I'm sure that they've built in safeguards. One simple fix that comes to mind is to store all data locally, except for the database of abusive employers. If people

But one major benefit of Beartooth is that it allows for asynchronous communication, while traditional radios don't. That aspect could turn communication in remote areas from centering around crucial information only (since everything

Spotify used to use a peer-to-peer architecture: https://torrentfreak.com/spotify-a-massive-p2p-network-bless... I'd be interested in knowing why they switched away from it.

I have no idea why your comment is at the bottom of the page. So many arguments in this comments section set up a straw man, claiming that the author is saying that nothing should ever be configured. Of course, it's not that you never

I completely agree. People should make sure to look at the claims, particularly under 1 at C: "rendering, on the computing device, the tab management area such that a close button of a remaining tab is located at the screen position, w

What is your reasoning? Getting press isn't easy, and it can greatly help a startup in terms of sales and contacts. Self promotion directly helps with that, and also opens up connections that would have been missed otherwise.

It's in maintenance mode. The homepage says that it should be online in a few minutes.

While that wording is more precise, the current wording is better for promoting the software. Ordering by market share makes sense, and users who are quickly scanning the page for compatability information don't need to make the connec

Maybe the service providers are caching heavily, and that's impossible with HTTPS? That seems likely, but I don't know a ton about the protocol.

I see your point. I'd argue that programmers who are treated that way have bad managers, though, rather than it being a function of programming as a profession. I've never dealt with a company that hasn't given me some autono

That's like arguing that surgeons are performing a blue collar job when they're given a diagnosis and test results from another physician. In theory they're performing the same repetitive motion, just like programmers are in

If you don't host any https websites on the VPS, using 443 will almost always get past port blocking.

I use Trello, and then I have it sync with Google Calendar. That way, I can handle individual tasks with the flexibility that Trello allows, but use Google Calendar when I need a broad picture of due dates. For me, to-do lists are far too l

I meant the design, since the page created such a clear template that would be fantastic for future open source projects to modify. But if you want to release the content in the open too, all the better. I just think that a lot of open sour

I thought the same thing. The app store page shouldn't be the be-all and the end-all for discovery. Instead, it should be the last step in the marketing process. A promotional website, along with using mailing lists and social media as

Small typo on step 2 of the signup: "We collect your card now though, in case you want us to purchase things durring the trial." (should be "during" instead of "durring")

Will the website itself be released under an open license? I could see this website format being useful for a ton of open source projects.

How do we know that incumbents are afraid of super PAC spending because it will create change and influence the population? Couldn't it just be that they are afraid of a super PAC dumping money into attack ads and an opponent's ca

I was actually just looking at your startup for an application I'm building. Nice to see you on HN! Do you have an email I can use to ask you about cross-promotional opportunities?

I see your point. While breakthroughs (such as Penicillin) can still be a result of unrelated research, it is true that focused experimentation is more likely to make an impact.

It is this experimentation, however, that creates large improvements in the world. Creating a hobby operating system, for example, may seem like a waste of time. Why would CS students spend time creating something only for themselves, when

They make calls to d3 in the chart snippet, so I assume it's that. Here's the relevant code from application.js: http://pastebin.com/ApL9SxXs

I was setting up a new repo, and then everything stopped working. Lucky timing, I guess.
