I lived in the Balkans for 30 years. Serbs have great culture and kafanas, but they are extremely political. It’s so hard to hold a normal conversation without them mentioning Russia, Yugoslavia, Kosovo/Albanians, NATO la-la-la. Especially in kafanas, I can confidently say that a majority of them still live in the past and can’t move on and it’s really sad.

I know two:

1. lot of smoking which is terrible for your skin.

2. life was harder and farming/factory/mining jobs were very popular, first one involve burning in the sun, second in dirt and bad air. Both hard physical work.

Enlighten me about AI please.

oh you're one of those guys who wants to take us back to real life through computers?

It hasn't receive any meaningful update in years now. For those wondering if you'll be fined if piracy is forbidden in your country by using WebTorrent the answer is yes, at least in Germany. They have some good trackers, speaking from experience. :)

This is a great piece of tech. But of course, game companies don’t care much about players after they sell their game. I don’t expect many old games to adopt this, but I expect new ones because it’s going to be a selling feature. In general, expect a IPv6-level of adoptation for this feature.

You won’t, unfortunately Cloudflare has no direct competitors.

Are channels and groups e2ee?

Hi, German here.

How about not storing any information at all? Nothing to give, problem solved. Just like Signal.

I seriously don’t understand why people use Telegram instead of Signal. Any reason! The app doesn’t solve any privacy problem, default chats are unencrypted, keeps personal info. App should be dead already or turned into a dating app because it’s clearly not seriously privacy fucused.

I invested a lot of time on his identity, not for anything just because I was bored and curious. I highly suspect it’s Adam Back and he currently sits in a tax haven, Malta.

Germans … always be party pooping. Let us have fun, we don’t always need to be correct.

Common people, this is not news. At least for Hacker News.

It’s very different. Can I open a PDF from Windows into Windows Sandbox with 2 clicks and close with 1 after reading, nearly instantaneously, without noticing the virtualization? Nope. Windows Sandbox is just a fresh VM, almost useless.

If you have a friend in the Feds, call them they give access to Feds immediately, zero requirements. Security is gone, poof. (sarcasm)

Cough. The Great Firewall. Cough.

Signal is the purely the best messenger we have so far, I remember OpenWhisper Systems RedPhone and TextSecure and how much it evolved since then. It pushed and helped other messengers to roll e2ee too.

PS. On Twitter Moxie mentioned that Usernames and e2ee Statuses are coming soon -- last missing pieces IMO, what a legend, huge respect and thanks for changing the industry Moxie!

Dude, thanks for letting me know that everyone uses Google.

I'm talking about static IPs like servers in the cloud, not your home. That stuff is automated and I am sure static IPs get banned but here must be a quota of something.

This sounds too good to be true in practice. If I deploy it on a server and continuously query it from all of my devices, will Google ban that serve rIP?

No no, you have a point, gotta agree. I have my own project and I always know which is my latest version, it is: a11bef06a3f659402fe7563abf99ad00de2209e6

edit 2: (ahh, sorry again, this is my latest version) a11bef06a3f659402fe7563abf99ad00de2209e6

You still need some sort of a computer at home to use your cloud PC. And guess what, most people will still buy a PC once they estimate the pricing. Not worth it, world today is full of crappy ideas that don't actually work.

That means they should wait until 90% of them know what it means, before removing it.

Just like their Ads -> BAT

Good question. I also predicted in 2015, that Donald Trump could become president, since he was giving public speeches about that before running. So yeah, I was right. Also, chances were 50-50 since there are only 2 parties. So I predicted and he become president.

I think the same goes with this guy, Jim Keller quit Intel and could join another company sooner or later, and that will not be a former one, likely a startup. We are Genius.

Well well well. Junkies banning junkies. I love it.

Old news dude, you got fooled by post date.

Who gives a sh*t? Why is this even shared here? HackerNews needs to get back to Engineering please. And, what the hell is Chief of Advertising Integrity ...

All of you smart arses out here and there, we know it, we know. We know, VPNs and other stuff in between are not so secure and not private. Stop saying it, don't you have some other piece of knowledge to be proud of? for god's sake. Tor and Signal are better than Public Cloud, Chrome & SMS if you're looking for privacy. Don't you have common sense?

- HTTPS is more secure and private than HTTP

- Signal is more secure and private than SMS/Skype/Messenger

- Tor/Browser is more secure and private than Cloud/Chrome

- FileVault, BitLocker and LUKS are more secure and private than RAW unencrypted disk data

- 2FA and Hashing is better than raw Passwords

- List goes on and on.

All you have to do is: get out of your desperate situation where "everything's controlled", because it's not true, at least not everything. We don't have the best security and privacy but we have some of it AND we need to fight to keep and expand it.

Now go on and tell me how smart you are and how you see things different and generalize stuff again in replies. Or you can just shut up and stand up to contribute and improve it.
