Wow, the CEO is the son of George Soros. This think tank is like the reincarnation of the devil.


We've banned this account for violating the HN guidelines and ignoring our request to stop.


I personally switched to ProtonMail, but I lament there's no IMAP access.

If you don't mind paying you can use FastMail


Big fan of FastMail. Roughly $50 a year to control my email destiny? No brainer.


>At the Y-Combinator Female Founders Conference this year, every single company that presented on stage had a male co-founder. Every. Single. One.

So what do you want, forced quotas?


So I donate $5000 and in return you push more HTML/JS developers to the market, making me getting paid less?

Well, what a deal!


I find it somewhat hard to believe that helping some less fortunate schools teach coding is really going to have a negative impact on your pay. But by all means keep bashing something that is actually doing some good.


Nobody cares about ME/PSP/etc. You might, but nobody will stop buying these chips just because of that.


I care, and I'm not alone. The problem and it's consequences aren't widely known outside of the tech community.


>Yup. you can all calm down and take some time to educate yourself about the damage this can and will cause to small-website owners

You can all calm down and take some time to hear me tell you you have to believe in what I believe.


Kids should have absolutely no expectation of privacy.


Are you saying they shouldn't trust anyone to protect their privacy, that I can agree with, or that they don't have a right to it?

I've been teaching my kid he has a right to privacy since the day he asked about having a baby monitor in his room. I told him why it's there, how to turn it off and that we'll take it out completely if he ever wants it gone. If his school forced this on him, I'd explain to him why not to carry it every where he goes and why he should never use it for personal communication.

> Article 16

> 1. No child shall be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with his or her privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to unlawful attacks on his or her honour and reputation.

> 2. The child has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.


I've tried to educate my kids about this. I've told them since an early age, that there is no privacy in any interaction with the school: Even a well meaning attempt to protect their information, in the absence of sufficient expertise, is futile.

Famous hacks and releases of private information, reported in the news, are good teachable moments.

My advice is that they can still get good grades while sticking with "safe" opinions and topics of discussion. This is also good preparation for corporate life.


It's basically the same as a corporate environment but with lower stakes and less funding to ensure competency.

Telling children they are entitled to privacy is setting them up for a world that will surely disappoint them.


Kids are human people. Why should some of us have no expectation of privacy, while others do?


I would argue that kids are more proto-human being than fully fledged human being, which is why they need education to start with.

Also, why, if they are human being, are they subjected to lesser criminal penalties than "adults" ?


> Also, why, if they are human being, are they subjected to lesser criminal penalties than "adults" ?

Yeah that's something that we really need to fix, although aren't there many cases of minors being charged as adults?


Given the unpopularity of my other comments, I don't think trialling children as adults will be popular either.


Why, and from whom? Their parents? Their school? Corporations?


I'd argue, at foremost, from their parents. [and yes, I was very aware of this fact to the extent that my first real-world application of programming was to automate obfuscate my browsing history as a teenager.]


Their parents, and their school during class hours.


You forgot the sarcasm /s.


They're going to disagree, and frankly in this arena, they're far better equipped than most of the people doing the spying. The worst kind of tyrant is an ineffective one.


You've been downvoted a little; My guess is that people are reading your post as "Kids don't deserve privacy"

But that's not what you actually said, and I'm not so sure that it's what you actually meant. Could you elaborate a bit?


The downvote might be related to the current pedestal our society currently place "kids" on, as harmless pure creatures adults shall bow to.


Writing a porn browser in Coq seems appropriate.


do americans call their penis cock/dick and vagina pussy when they are having 'sexytime' ? I find saying 'suck my cock' too immature and comical but at the same time 'suck my penis' sounds too clinical and a mood killer.


I prefer to not speak English at all, but to just grunt and make gestures like a chimpanzee.


I'm so happy since I learnt to master uMatrix...

I recommend it to everybody, especially those who are HTML developers and already know what those checkboxes are about. Change the defaults to something else and only unblock stuff you really trust.


No need to install anything, just follow this url:

https://www.whatruns.com/website/reddit.com


Thanks for sharing that link. Here's a bookmarklet (as opposed to the Chrome extension) to launch this on whatever site you're on:

   javascript:void(window.open('https://www.whatruns.com/website/'+window.location.hostname));


This doesn't seem to work for all sites, for example my site https://charlieegan3.com doesn't work: https://www.whatruns.com/website/charlieegan3.com


I think the link is just returning cached result that was already identified with the extension.


Why no input on the page itself for something like that?


We started with extension as developers/designers found it especially handy for a quick look-up while working on their projects. Not to worry though - we're working on something for the web as well! ️
