Yuval_Halevi··on Reviving Sandstorm
I like the idea of making self-host web apps simple to non-technical people.

Is it a non-profit organization or an actual company? I didn't find anything about the pricing plan

Yuval_Halevi··on Report on the Bezos Phone Hack [pdf]
>Bezos did not choose the right company to handle this work.

I think that sums up the whole problem.

Yuval_Halevi··on The State of Breach Protection 2020 (report)
>78% of organizations don’t have endpoint protection on 15%-45% of their endpoints due to deployment issues.

I wonder when a company can consider organization. Probably SMBS don't have enough resources to have a security experts team managing the company data and security

Yuval_Halevi··on The Attempted Corporate Takeover of .Org
>The entire market for domain name registries is broken, a troubling combination of government-granted monopoly, disinterested (at best) regulators, and eager extractors of profit.

well said

Yuval_Halevi··on A Beginner’s Guide to Rapid Prototyping
>Focus on the critical functions that will be used most often.

That short sentence sums up the mindset behind prototyping. Focus only on the most critical function, and just do it.

Yuval_Halevi··on Inside The Mind of a Productivity Master
I thought it's a computer version of Elon Musk in the first picture
Yuval_Halevi··on What are your options for cognitive enhancement?
I do think that trying a psychedelic drugs might be a positive thing for many people. The problem is that not all people can are suitable for it, not everyone is ready to experience certain feelings.

I would love to hear entrepreneurs who find it useful (I talk mainly about micros dosing now)

Yuval_Halevi··on Our climate is like reckless banking before the crash
There is a problem with human nature. We think mostly about ourselves.

Most of the people who don't care at all, won't be alive to see what their careless behavior caused the planet.

Even if billions of people will decide to change their lifestyle for a better planet, the change should come from governments, by setting laws and making it an emergency.

Yuval_Halevi··on If the Moon Were Only 1 Pixel (2014)
Bookmarked. I love those kinds of sites. It really got me into the experience
Yuval_Halevi··on The sad state of sysadmin in the age of containers (2015)
I saw this comment now from 4 years ago on reddit:

Software packaging and building seems to be becoming more complicated and more disconnected-- particularly as more specific tools continue to be developed. It seems every little corner has their own dependency management and build management solution.

The Docker comments seem a little backhanded. If one looks at a Dockerfile, there's not much to complain about. It downloads a key, it adds a repository, installs a package, and some very simple docker-specific tweaks.

If you distrust Docker's signed image, building your own is as simple as doing a git clone ..; cd docker-nginx; docker build. Docker encourages disposable containers, separating data, and making your own images. There's still a lot of work for Docker to do regarding signed images, but I'd argue running isolated images with documented changesets and simple build files is far different from blindly running 'curl | sudo bash'

Yuval_Halevi··on Privacy analysis of Tiktok’s app and website
>Tiktok is breaking the law in multiple ways while exploiting mainly teenagers data. This should be regulated quick and rigorous. We have all necessary laws. Don’t let them break society like 10 years of FB. Journalists should find a better place for vertical video.

Well done. I think that after this research, journalists will better understanding of how TikTok actually breaks the law and they can cover this story using the information from this article as a reference,.

Yuval_Halevi··on Brave Passes 10M Monthly Active Users, Sees 19% Growth Since 1.0 Launch
Brave is one of my favorite browsers (I'm using it right now) X5 better than Chrom x100 better than IE
Yuval_Halevi··on Text Messages Are Being Censored in Canada
I wonder if it's being censored by your phone provider or it's on the government level
Yuval_Halevi··on Dating Market Thesis Summary [pdf]
Interesting one. I wonder why it's hosted under mailchimp if the research is done by TYRO
Yuval_Halevi··on Losing the News: The Decimation of Local News and the Search for Solutions
The whole news model is becoming strange. At the beginning journalism shifted from offline to online, and then because lack of solid business model and high competition, they began with paywalls which hurt the UX and also the site owners
Yuval_Halevi··on Any amount of running linked to significantly lower risk of early death

Yuval_Halevi··on Telling users why their content was removed reduces future issues [pdf]
Comment I saw about the manner from a mod on reddit:

>As a moderator, I will sometimes send a message to a poster whose post is removed. However, if it is "commercial spam," I don't bother because we both know why.

Sometimes redditors comment without understanding that they broke the rules. Sometimes redditors comment using spam and they fully know what they are doing. In the first case, a message to them to tell them why is helpful. In the second case, it's not.

I personally (as an active Reddit user), feel that the interaction with the mods there is always in a negative context. On /r/technology, for example, you can get ban without any specific reason and messaging the mods won't do anything.

A few weeks ago I made a silly comment in HN on a post that reached the front page. My comment got a few downvotes and one of the mods sent me a message with what I did wrong.

I then went one step back, understood that I wrote something that is against the rules of HN and sent the mod an email with an apologie. He replied almost instantly.

That's one of the reasons I prefer HN over Reddit. It seems like the mods are not here to punish, but to create a healthy conversation infrastructure and to lead users who are not into the HN spirit yet, into the right path

Yuval_Halevi··on T-Mobile demand Lemonade to stop using the color magenta
pretty close?

Where's the line then?

Yuval_Halevi··on T-Mobile demand Lemonade to stop using the color magenta
You're from Germany by any chance?

I think that in Lemonade german site, they changed the color to a darker pink (probably until the issue with T-mobile is finished)

Yuval_Halevi··on T-Mobile demand Lemonade to stop using the color magenta
Well, there is a thing called colormark, But as far as I know, color marks apply to companies from the same industry. T-Mobile and Lemonade are not in the same industry therefore, Lemonade should be able to use Magenta.
Yuval_Halevi··on Googlers Are Protesting Company’s Deals with Big Oil
>I don't care about Google employee's opinions on Big Oil or ICE but I absolutely care about their opinions on removing URLs from search results and hijacking link clicks. The latter is something they can and should fix as they created the problem in the first place.

Such a contervetional saying, but I get what you mean.

They have more authority in their niche so they should fight for rights in something they are expert at.

But I do think that the fact Google employees are protesting against the company deal with Big Oild is good because it generates a lot of PR and awareness around the subject,

Exactly like how Blizzard cause the situation in HK to be x10 more viral

Yuval_Halevi··on Designing the Facebook Company Brand
You're right.

The comment was just mean and didn't give any value to the readers.

I apologize, my bad.

Is there anything i can do now to delete it?

Yuval_Halevi··on Undercover reporter reveals life in a Polish troll farm
The sentence 'There is no such thing as bad publicity' Talks exactly about cases like this.

The polish PR firm is about to get a wave of leads from this 'negative PR'

Yuval_Halevi··on Saudi Aramco IPO: the ultimate marriage between carbon and capitalism
I have a mixed feelings about this IPO

I do appreciate when a company does hard work to grow, But I really dislike the Saudi Aramco industry and what it causing to our planet.

Yuval_Halevi··on The HPV vaccine is as important for boys as it is for girls
I saw this comment on Reddit:

>HPV in men causes a significant number of anal and mouth cancer, it is not symptomless. And of course, vaccinated men can't pass it on to unvaccinated women.

Make great infrastructure. Not war.
Yuval_Halevi··on Microsoft unveils new Edge browser logo that no longer looks like IE

Yuval_Halevi··on Gitlab cancels plan on tracking user behavior on GitLab.com
I'm impressed by the way Gitlab is communicating on a personal level with all of their users on email bombs.
Yuval_Halevi··on Google shouldn’t be the only source of interest-based recommendations
I wish.

It's not because they are Google, it's because their algorithm is so good, that when there will be another alternative to google search, it will need to act the same.

I'm dealing with content on a daily basis. Most of the challenge when it comes to writing content is to make it suitable to more than 200 factors Google is using in their algorithm to determine the quality of this content.

You can think about it as a massive supermarket checklist, Only when all the 200 boxes checked, your wife will tell you good job.

Yuval_Halevi··on Linus Torvalds: 'I'm not a programmer anymore'
what I found really interesting is he didn't feel he was "really" successful until after he came out with Git. Even Linus can have imposter syndrome!
