This is so unreal. Resembles so closely the novels we read in high school. The Giver and Nineteen Eighty-Four come to mind. Prisoners feeding rehearsed lines to the media about 'enjoying' their incarceration.

In my AP European History class, we just now studied the post-war effects and especially the relationship between Poland and the Soviet Union. To stumble upon this essay now makes it all the more interesting; a primary source of sorts to complement the top-down view of my textbook.

The reddit.com website has some ads on it. Relay probably uses their API, which doesn't include any ads.

It's exciting to see such an incredible rate of advancement; I can't wait to see what transistors at 7nm and less will make possible. I can still remember when these same components were measured in millimeters.

I do not understand the dislike this community harbors for AMP. I personally really enjoy the system; whenever I'm searching for any type of article on my phone (Android), I prefer AMP pages, because they load faster and are far more responsive than some of their more bloated counterparts.

My parents were born and have lived in Pakistan for their entire childhood up to adulthood. They then moved to the United States, where I was born and have lived for my entire life.

On occasion, I visited my parent's home in Pakistan, although the trips became increasingly scarce as grandparents passed (now all four are gone).

The house has always had domestic workers present, a single family. The first few times a maid, who we called Maacy whose children went to a nearby school and whose husband would work nearby.

Her family was among the lower classes of the country, and her salary brought her and her children opportunities she could never otherwise have had. I remember talking with her in the small room that was her quarters; sometimes I would help her with her work.

On later visits, she had left and another family, whose father served as the household driver occupied the same space. One time, I saw the previous maid attending a gathering that was taking place. She recognized me immediately, sharing an embrace and leaving me on my way.

You may be surprised, but the United States may be one of your contenders.

I recommend Private Internet Access [0], which what I use as my VPN service.

Ultimately, it's about trust, and it is very difficult to determine which services ensure your privacy and which ones might sell your history or cooperate with prying governments.

Although I agree with many of Stallman's points, it is, unfortunately, true that this post will most likely not change anything at all.

What percent of Uber users read Stallman's website or even HN? Probably less than 1%.

The sad thing is the general populace of the United States (or even, the world) doesn't care if their data are being tracked or kept; or if their personal information is being recorded; the work of people like Edward Snowden has done little to change the behavior of most internet consumers.

It is enormously difficult to change the behaviors of these users, probably even impossible.

This is why I always run open source software on my systems.

How is it possible to put the malicious code in the correct memory spaces? Unless the attacker had a full image of the memory, I don't see how this can be accomplished.

I'm a beginner when it comes to software development (mostly web development), but it seems to me that the majority of complex exploits like this involve some type of memory overflow and subsequent code execution.

Shouldn't there be methods for detecting these kinds of things in source code or more priority given to preventing it in the C/low-level community?

> Left padding is so complicated that I've pulled it out into its own file, as you can see here.

Am I just really ignorant, or is this satire?

Surely this can't work on HTTPS secured sites, correct?

This approach is rather interesting. But I'm wondering whether a similar attack could be made by placing links on a web page and using the CSS :visited selector to change the style of visited web pages. Couldn't you then check which links have that formatting and which don't via JS?
