ardaozkalon Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (July 2019)

My gitlab is now https://gitlab.com/a , so please go to that link instead if you're interested.

ardaozkalon Ask HN: Has anyone ever been hired from “Who wants to be hired?” threads?

My experiences do not really match: Some CV compiler website has been emailing me ever since I posted on the thread, and the opt out is "If you don't want to hear from me anymore, just let me know".

Except there's no MX record for the website (Image: https://elixi.re/i/oamrerwz.png ), so I can't reply to them asking them to remove my email from their list.

If the person behind those emails is reading this: Please stop, it's annoying and I will not give you my money, even with a discount.

ardaozkalon Google cancels domain registration for Daily Stormer

Daily Stormer reportedly violated ToS, though when I checked ToS yesterday, it was pretty clear that they didn't outright ban such content, but yeah, they aren't abusing it, they're enforcing the rules Daily Stormer agreed to follow but failed to.

Also they're still hosting daily stormer. Well, they got booted from their registrar so they're offline, but CF denied to stop hosting them.

ardaozkalon How Chrome OS, Termux, YubiKey and Duo Mobile make for great usable security

The reason people use u2f keys is because they can't be cloned and the key can't be extracted. I too like and use TOTP (with Authy), but it really can't beat specialized hardware.

ardaozkalon How Chrome OS, Termux, YubiKey and Duo Mobile make for great usable security

My main issue with neo is that it doesn't have 4096 bit pgp support, unlike yubikey 4 and 4 nano.

Tbf, yubikey neo has much more features than feitian epass.

Denials can (and do) cause issues at times. At least weird looks.

ardaozkalon Wikipedia blocked in Turkey

As a Turk, I'm actually happy that we were told that we can't join at all due to the referendum results. Not for me, I see myself similar to the friend you talked about, with a western culture, wanting to get off but failing, but for Europe. Allowing the 51% to roam around Europe would seriously damage the level of culture and freedom you have reached.

Reposting my comment from another place here, as it kinda applies to this too, especially the second sentence:

> Every single billboard and half the TV ads before referendum were ads telling people to vote "yes".

> People didn't even know what they were voting for.

The parent post also defends your right of moving away from a border, you know.

We do not ask you to declare war, but politically censuring (not censoring) people who abuse their power would have a great effect.

Even if you don't do that, just don't support them: For example, it'd be great if trump didn't call erdogan after referendum to congratulate him.

> while controlling all the media

It's much, much more than that. Every single billboard and half the TV ads before referendum were ads telling people to vote "yes".

People didn't even know what they were voting for.

ardaozkalon Wikipedia blocked in Turkey

When you don't feel the effects of your vote, you don't care about what you vote. I feel like this was the case of the referendum.

We've actually planned and developed some pieces of software to allow this, however the main issue is that unless a very big amount of people use it, it's not going to work. Even if I and my friend 1km away uses it, unless there are enough users between us that can relay our messages, it's not going to work.

So we gave up, knowing that 51% would see it as an act of terror or smth, and even if they didn't, they wouldn't use such software or hardware.

Kiwix is one. I'm currently torrenting Turkish and English wikis (https://s.ave.zone/d5a.png) and will be seeding for as much as I can.

I kindly as any person who currently resides in Turkey to do the same.

ardaozkalon The new £1 Coin

Well, the standardization was covered by others, so here's stuff about forgery:

The Turkish Govt's new ID allows you to- no, it requires you to set a password. You are given an 8 character PIN code when you apply for the ID, and you can change it from the kiosks at the citizenship bureau. It allows between 4 and 16 characters (while I chose 16 myself, most people will choose a 4 character one :( ).

Plus, even if it gets stolen along with the password, technically the certificate can be revoked as soon as you report it, preventing forgery.

ardaozkalon The new £1 Coin

They can, depending on how they work. If the values are being fetched from a secure chip, however, I believe it's not as easy. And as I said, even if it is copied, unless it is spent VERY carefully, it can be spotted and marked as copied.

Here's mifare desfire EV2's leaflet that talks quite a bit about the security features it has: http://www.nxp.com/documents/leaflet/MIFARE-DESFire-EV2-Leaf...

ardaozkalon The new £1 Coin

The 1 kurus was stopped being manufactured (still have one though: https://s.ave.zone/969.JPG )

Well, a pound coin is used more than once, and there is tax applied on every time it is used, so it'll pay off for itself in a relatively short timespan, imo. Plus, it pretty much beats counterfeits, so loss from that is gone too.

Problem with 1 kurus was that it wasn't used often, the monetary value was small and that it had no anti-counterfeit stuff. Also, people were melting it and selling it. You can't really sell a broken or write-protected rfid chip for much.

ardaozkalon The new £1 Coin

Well people had been stating on this thread that if that was the hidden feature, it'd not be "hidden" for long as anyone can get and cut open a coin to see if there's anything like that inside.
