The site guidelines are here https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Jokes aren't explicitly against the guidelines either, but I think the site likes to emphasize high quality content that will not alienate

The slider of funding rounds is a neat idea but it's kind of hard to read in chronological order without mentally keeping track of which items appeared each time I slid it forward. Would love to see a plain, non-javascript version of t

I've had a few instances of firefox on Mac and Linux starting to spin up the fans, and show high CPU usage, and I've had trouble pinning down which tab was causing it. Is about:performance the best place to do this or is there som

By fling, do you mean the two-finger horizontal scroll to move back and forward through history? If so, I miss it too.

It's not nothing, but it's interesting to note that the amount they spent is dwarfed by the amounts currently being spent by top democrats (and Trump's re-election campaign), several of which are in the low millions of dollar

This report might be interesting as well. https://disinformationreport.blob.core.windows.net/disinform... The two biggest caveats about it in my mind are that 1) all the data was provided voluntarily by the tech companies,

Doesn't it depend on how close the election was to begin with? If it's very close, you may not need to move the needle very far to change the outcome.

Digging into this a bit more and reading between the lines of the nytimes article, it sounds to me like EternalBlue was indeed used as part of the attack chain, for lateral movement. It was not the only exploit used, nor would the attack ha

That's what everyone (including myself) said after Equifax but just this week their credit rating was downgraded by Moody's: https://www.darkreading.com/attacks-breaches/moodys-downgrad...

Not defending Uber, but I don't think this article adds much to the discussion. I was hoping the feudal serfdom metaphor was going to be fleshed out more.

Isn't there a bit of selection bias if you work in infosec and all the companies you see are either in danger or recovering from a breach? In the all examples you mention, was it specifically Gsuite that was breached? I've always

Does this allow a salesman from company A to access customer info from company B (where A and B are both customers of salesforce) or is it just intra-organization? Still bad if the latter, but catastrophic if the former

Thanks. I wonder whether the original comment about "doom music" is also a reference to the film? I had never heard of it.

I don't understand why the general tone of this article is "Did you know disordered healthy eating is possible" but the review of literature found that most of the studies are of poor quality, and furthermore the DSM does not

It would be great to see a concise, relatively non-technical introduction to what is AMP and why is it bad for the open web that I could send to friends and family.

Not trying to be snarky but MacOS. That being said, on Linux I think Elementary OS is at least trying to create a coherent visual design language. Maybe there are others?

This is the first thing I noticed too. The text is too close to the leftmost border and feels very claustrophobic.

I didn't think Blue Origin had even put something in orbit yet. How feasible is this?

Apple got a ton of flak for adopting USB-C way before anyone else, which is the opposite of proprietary. I also don't see how "being cracked by the FBI" makes one evil, in fact I think resisting the FBI in the first place mak

Why do you assume that the parent was talking about your photography ability, and not their own?

by mediocrejoker 7y ago
The general sentiment here seems (to me, anyway) to be that photography is one of those things that many people _are_ going to do anyway, which is why it's very difficult to be highly paid for it. If so many people are willing to do so
