They do not claim that. They do claim that they store specifically encryption keys in several data centers in different jurisdictions. Here is the exact quote: "All data is stored heavily encrypted and the encryption keys in each case are stored in several other data centers in different jurisdictions". So only keys are distributed.

To my understanding, scaling production to bring prices down due to economy of scale is the part of the initial plan, which was based on the data about climate change. So these things are connected.

I am still using Windows 10. A major reason for me to not upgrade is all the media coverage of ads, user tracking, forced subscriptions and unnecessary AI features in Windows 11. Also, Windows 10 is just plain really good. I do have TPM and strong hardware. Windows 11 reputation is the main concern.

So let's imagine a company like Garmin experiences a ransomware attack. Their business is paralyzed. What would stop them from paying the ransom and what could possibly be an alternative to that?

Also, worth mentioning that I was banned after I have contacted the support because my orders were being rejected (this was my initial problem and the reason I contacted the support). It was the support team who banned me. This is a problem of its own: legitimate users should not be discouraged to contact the support.

False positives are indeed a major problem with bigtech. Just got into the situation myself when I was traveling to France and wanted to order some food with Deliveroo. Their antifraud systems banned me without any option to prove my legitimacy. Needless to say I just normally wanted to order something to eat, and I later used Uber Eats without any problems. Permanent ban without procedure to correct antifraud false positive (most likely due to my bank card issued outside of France).

The real threat came from the fine the government intended to impose on the companies. They threatened to fine not the fixed amount, as they did before, but to calculate it from the turnover values. Which could result in millions of dollars. The Russian government recently fined Booking with almost 18 million USD. For Google and Apple the fine could be even bigger.

The threat to employees on the other hand was not real one, there is no one to legally procecute in the Russian subsidiaries of the companies.

The entire Telegram encryption protocol is open source. So are the apps.

While Stripe team is great and it's always good to place all services under one roof, both registering US corporation and opening US bank account online is not something new, Harvard Business Services (www.delawareinc.com) had done company formation for years for startups and the fee is nicer ($250 single payment + $50/year for registered agent vs Atlas $500 single payment + $125/year for registered agent). Atlas is twice more expensive, which may be sensitive for early-stage startups.

We formed a C-corp with HBS. Then opened SVB account for free, printed standard incorporation docs, got EIN from IRS and opened account with Braintree (could be Stripe as well), all for free. We just had to use different websites instead of one, but no additional difficulties.

Someone from DJI forums contacted B&H employee at store on this and he said it's at least until the end of January. Not official information, though.

Now it would not surprise me much even if they go public (IPO), before releasing the actual product to the market. That would be a nice precedent for the tech startup industry.

I agree, that's why I say it was almost inactive for about a year, not 15 months. The point is, the real delay was bigger than 6-9 months, at least it's how the one could think about it.

August 2014 beta build was a really small update and the only one in year 2014. To be honest, my feeling also was that project has been abandoned. ST3 was silent for about a year and is supported by the single developer (as far as I understand it). No updates (except for one in August) in the times of Atom release, this looked like there was no more motivation for the Sublime Text developer. I am really happy that it's not true and Sublime is active again in 2015.

No point in shaming, anyone can experience this kind of problem. Even Google once marked all websites as "contains virus", and Amazon cloud was unavailable due to a storm. It was not the well known domain name registrar's DNS.

The Google DNS was not affected, or more likely it was quickly flushed (I guess, the guys who made this error were the first to flush Google DNS).

I am almost sure that the reasoning for the redirect script was something like this: since they have ads on that "parking" page, whoever tries to access the server, should see the ads. That's probably why they have this terrible redirection script in place. Which still keeps the original question "who would do that", because this is terrible.

The TTL value has no direct connection to the parking page. It's probably by the coincidence that DNS record had a high TTL and pointed to that IP address. But no one can be sure here, because there is always a posibility that DNS was hacked, although the DNS hosting provider sais that DNS error was not a result of a hack.

For Safari it happens even if there are only a few tabs opened (sometimes even for only one tab).

Have you tried twitter crash example? Does it work without crash for you? If so, you are lucky, I wish I could have this problem fixed too.

The most annoying bug of iOS 7 was crashing of Safari. For iPad Air it happened for me all the time, every day 3-10 crashes during regular usage. Using other browser did not help - the problem was deeper, all browsers shared this issue. My biggest hope for 7.1 was this bug being fixed. But no, Safari still fails.

How to reproduce: 1. Go to someone's mobile.twitter.com account, like https://mobile.twitter.com/newsycombinator 2. Scroll down a few pages (for example, scroll down until 5 new pages load from infinite scrolling). 3. Scroll up very-very fast - Safari will fail. This behavior did not change in 7.1, and this is not the only way to reprocude. Sometimes it just fails while opening a single page, without any other tabs opened.

But the very first thought is "wow, it's exactly the same look as Sublime Text", not JetBrains product, not Eclipse, not even Visual Studio, so they definitely were completely inspired by Sublime in particular.

But you should not expect to be put in jail, that's nonsense.

People say "I'm gonna kill you" every day to their friends as the way of saying "I don't like what you just did", does not mean they are violent in any way.

The society where it's OK to go to jail for saying something without being any real threat is not healthy at all. Stupid jokes are non-violent.

In my country there is a death threat law that says that person can be charged in court with a death threat if and only if there is a strong reason to believe that the threat was real. It's not enough to say "I will kill you", you must have had a real conflict or hold a knife to have legal consequences.

There are not much political news of this type about USA on Hacker News (if this is not something about Snowden, which has direct influence on IT). Do not overestimate this media event, it's nothing but another Russia Today, which already exists. And this event is definitely has nothing to do with fascism, because this media already was government media in the first place.

Why is this in the top of Hacker News? I live in Russia, this may be a big concern for me, but even in Russia it's not the top news of the day, this media, which was dissolved, it always was pro-government, the funding came from state etc. It's easier to say that it just was renamed and will now make more propaganda than real news. But how is this local political news about one media from one single country is something that is of any interest for Hacker News?

Well, it's not actually an article, it's just a summary of the story. I would appreciate your detailed feedback and will be happy to edit post and add something to it that you find valuable.

The LASIK itself is not something interesting, but the results after 10 years - that's what matters. Would be great to read if there are any long-term problems real people are experiencing.

Thank you for the link. I am curious and will try to find an hour to watch the video. Do you mind if I contact you by email (already googled it) to ask some questions about your error tracking? It seems that you do not use window.onerror so I wonder how exactly you track unhandled errors. Your experience may help me with my project.

They definitely need some js error tracking tool (like qbaka.net) to handle errors. Their main javascript size is 420K!

There are two problems with this: you have to actually hold Enter, and the other thing: it will produce way too many requests to Google Play. It will cause Play to handle requests even worse, you will not benefit from this. Automatic request every 4 seconds is better for Google Play and more convinient :).
