...Especially considering the trade in values (~320USD for Pixel 6).

Outages?

Great point. So true.

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 how you're too punk for Green Day...

Exactly. HongKongers dont consider themselves Chinese.

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?

Yes, they do.

Not sure when you last checked, Vanguard supports up to 4 security keys.

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 comments/discussions as well as Docs does.

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 it). Otherwise, try to snipe the domain like the rest of us.

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, and then disqualify for their homepage UI or sign up flow. I'd venture most VPN customers would tolerate a lot of ugliness for a truly private, secure, and reliable service. I would.

I'm pretty sure that changing your password does NOT revoke your oauth scopes, which was the attack vector here.

Yes, I agree, although revoking the scope should remove the access (and I assume Google did that for everyone already).

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 I think maybe the least accurate.

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". https://pando.com/2014/02/27/we-call-that-boob-er-the-four-m... 2. Uber orders and then cancels thousands of rides of its biggest competitor, Lyft. http://money.cnn.com/2014/08/11/technology/uber-fake-ride-re... 3. Uber exec threatens a journalist Sarah Lacy with a smear campaign. https://pando.com/2016/05/04/npr-proves-once-again-uber-lyin... 4. God mode: Insiders tracked users personal movements and were fined 20k for misusing their access. http://www.theverge.com/2016/1/6/10726004/uber-god-mode-sett...

Your closing statement is spot on: it's not easy to believe "nothing nefarious is going on". For me, it's not even possible.

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, IIRC), which is why they are still working.

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 my mind.

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.

Some settings in the latest Android beta of Signal indicate this is being worked on.

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/123

Her thoughts on what makes mourning, and specifically the interaction with other people so difficult, are really enlightening. It reminded me that each person experiences life differently, even when we are all united by the same feelings of satisfaction, love, frustration and grief.

My deepest condolences to Sheryl, as well as anyone else who reads this who has lost a loved one. Life is both amazing and delicate, and I think we could all focus a little more on the little things that make all the difference. I know I could.

I assume you're comparing only Nexus devices, because the breadth of Android devices in different sizes is by no means limited.

Google Play Music supports this. Upload your audio files; stream from anywhere. No subscription needed.
