buzzwords··on Tell HN: A hacker's life is in danger, your awareness may be life saving
When it comes to Iranian government, there are two types of people that run it. First group are the fanatic idiots who consider themselves at war with the west. They see anyone who who is not aligned with their view as enemy and therefore must be removed/killed. The second group are opportunists who probably have assets abroad and will do and say anything to stay in power as long as possible to milk every last penny. I think it's important to identify them and their families abroad. Deporting their families and freezing their assets inorder to change their behaviour.
buzzwords··on The Iran Firewall: A preliminary report
I tried helping my Iranian friend to get around the internet restrictions. I have to agree with the author most big players could not give a flying f*ck. Even signal can't be bothered to address verification SMS issue.
buzzwords··on Infosys asked HR not to hire 'Indian-origin candidates', 'women with children'
Oh wow, really? So the women in tech is a growing pool? Enough to stop companies paying premium to fulfil quotas?
buzzwords··on Infosys asked HR not to hire 'Indian-origin candidates', 'women with children'
If all companies try to hire from the same small pool say women in tech. Don't they have to compete with each other? And therefore pay them more than others?

I have been wondering about this, but always too scared to ask it as it comes a cross as an attack. I assure you it's not an attack but a genuine question.

buzzwords··on Iranian Citizens Charged in Broad Hacking Campaign in US
Are Iranian hackers an actual threat? Or is threat being overstated for propaganda? It's a genuine question, please don't start a flame war.
buzzwords··on Okta and Auth0 Blocking Cuba, Iran, N Korea, Syria, Crimea, Luhansk, Donetsk
Does anyone know Iranians real cyber attack capacities? There are a lot propaganda on both sides.

Do these sections even slow them down?

(Real question, please don't start a flame wars, I don't want this account to be disabled)

buzzwords··on Slack’s free plan change is causing an exodus
I would imagine this is the first wave of changes to come. Salesforce wants to see bigger profits so more and more changes will come.
buzzwords··on Tell HN: Google Cloud suspended our production projects at 1am on Saturday
Reading a lot of comments here makes me think that GCP has built up a very bad reputation for customer support. Does anyone know if they are responded to this?
buzzwords··on Unconscious bias in media interviews with female top managers
Now that I read it here, I think this is quite true.
buzzwords··on Unconscious bias in media interviews with female top managers
Is the reverse true too? Female attributes on a male is amplified?
buzzwords··on Unconscious bias in media interviews with female top managers
I have to say, I do think I have judged my female managers more harshly than I have my male ones. Maybe it was because it was easier to communicate with male ones. Anyone else retrospectively think they might have been unfair to their female managers?
buzzwords··on Android 13
Pixel is generally out of my price range
buzzwords··on Android 13
Believe me, after this experience I will not buy another Samsung phone again.
buzzwords··on Android 13
Imo no matter how great Android is, Samsung ruins it with their awful bloatware. There seem to be no way of removing them either.
buzzwords··on Big changes ahead for Deno
I have a limited experience using NodeJs. My first interaction with Node was unpleasant. The whole npm world seemed very insecure and very wide wide west like, thinking back I can't remember why I felt that now. I know the article said some would like to get away from the npm. For those who still would like to use npm with Deno, I would love to know why. (I'm genuinely curious, not looking to start a flame war)
buzzwords··on Media confidence ratings at record lows
I feel like the rest of the world is catching up. Growing up muslim is FELT like my community was misrepresented and framed on a particular way. Now, I'm sure either side of the political division feel exactly as I have for years.
buzzwords··on Lofi Girl: YouTube sorry for taking down music stream
YT couldn't care less if creators are unhappy with anything at the moment. There is no real competition, so creators have to just deal with it. I hope for a real competition, where there will be a mass exodus.
buzzwords··on The euro has tumbled near parity to the US dollar
This because Euro is falling in value (probably faster than USD is falling in value)
buzzwords··on Smart mushroom growing device for beginners
Ok, I know nothing about mushrooms and how they grow. But this looks like another Juicero situation.
buzzwords··on Notice of termination of Twitter merger agreement
Is there anyway for Elon to prove there are more bots than Twitter claims? If so, would twitter then be sued by the sec?
buzzwords··on Things I wish everyone knew about Git (Part I)
Judging by the comments here, there are a lot of frustration. Since git is open sourced and it's a basic tool why aren't the experts here contributing and making it work how everyone here thinks it should work?
buzzwords··on Things I wish everyone knew about Git (Part I)
I wonder how many hours have been wasted on fixing mistakes made on git. Recently, I watch a friend spend two days try and figure out what the junior Devs have done with commits and branches
buzzwords··on I got hacked and Facebook banned me
It's always surprising to see people use FB given their reputation and how it's common to lose accounts. I feel the same about popularity of WhatsApp.
buzzwords··on Bing contract prohibits DuckDuckGo from completely blocking Microsoft tracking
So the first question I have is "does tracking help provide better search results?" The second question is, "Can you run a profitable search engine without target ad revenues?"
buzzwords··on Almost all searches on my independent search engine are now from SEO spam bots
I have had very interesting conversations with people who are "casual" users of internet. They are still finding the results of the likes of Google, bing and duckduckgo perfectly suitable. Maybe it's most of us here who have different needs to what's available.
buzzwords··on Chat control: EU Commission presents mass surveillance plan on May 11
This is a typical way for unpopular laws to pass. Pretend it's to save kids, to spread democracy or to whatever else you really care about.
buzzwords··on NPM Vulnerability Discussion on Twitter
I see a lot of comments here pointing to new/inexperienced developers. As one of those guys, I have to say JS community is not that great at keeping blogs/docs/tutorials up to date. Take react for example the learning section is quite out of date and no one develops using classes anymore.
buzzwords··on DALL-E 2 open source implementation
Im not in this space...do you mind explaining more please? I'm really curious.
buzzwords··on Clojure 1.11 is now available
I do wonder what has to happen for greater adoption of Clojure.
buzzwords··on Israel passes law denying naturalization to Palestinian spouses
Bloody hell. Whoever engages in such behaviour is an enemy of open society. I wonder if there is a way to identify such accounts online and remove them from platforms.
