devado··on Reddit Founder Alexis Ohanian Resigns from the Board of Reddit
doesn't reddit have that extension (forget the name) to ban users across all subreddits and tag them etc ? (not from the site but for your own browsing)
devado··on Vue.js founders response to removing Black Lives Matter banner
I am surprised there was nothing in support for hongkong, given that vue founder is chinese.
devado··on Ask HN: Why should I use Brave vs. Firefox?
Are you asking what is more private than the other? As a FF user, I can recommend it. More than the browser itself, see if you get behind the idea of the organization. There are many FF devs on this forum and I can usually trust mozilla to do the right thing.

Brave, I have never used and I keep away from all this coin and token stuff.

devado··on WeChat permanently closes account after user sets offensive password
indeed, scratch that. i rewrote that comment a couple of times, and that 2-way part is of course not correct. this would defeat the point of hashing passwords if they were reversible
devado··on WeChat permanently closes account after user sets offensive password
I think the idea is to hash on client _and_ the server. The client 1-way hash (~~unlike the server's 2-way~~) is the new "password" now and it's sole purpose is so that you don't get to see the raw password on the server.

Same here. Why is it caused by DNS over https?
devado··on Mark Zuckerberg Is an Arbiter of Truth–Whether He Likes It or Not
No.

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. It's better to train society and individuals to take what is out there and teach them how to process it than to institutionalize them to trust "experts". Even today, before you take medical decisions, you have to trust your own instincts on what is the best for you. Yeah, those so called experts, won't make the right decisions.

Handing over arbitration of truth is an extremely foolish idea. We might as well have dictatorship and let "elders" decide for us and give up on democracy. Doing _something_ is not a virtue by itself, it has to be meaningful and many times you just have to pause and do _nothing_.

devado··on Millions of Americans skipping payments as wave of defaults and evictions looms
Is your point that he _needs_ a truck for his job? He is a veteran as stated in the article and wife is a medical worker. Why do they need a truck or is this some basic necessity in the US?

And you still haven't told us what your solution is. It's easy to criticize. "it sucks" . ok, so?
devado··on Millions of Americans skipping payments as wave of defaults and evictions looms
The starting price of this is 28k per edmunds. That is quite expensive (even for someone from tech sector).

Aren't zuck and his company made of humans? What magic powers do they have to suddenly curate things accurately and deem the destiny of mankind? I have trouble following what you are trying to say. Maybe you are asking for all social media to be shutdown altogether.
devado··on Hundreds of Facebook employees walk out as Zuckerberg plans town hall tomorrow
Exactly. FB is just a platform and should not be a publisher/curator. Otherwise, it must be made responsibly for every post on it's platform.

We reached here because we had complete freedom of speech. And you are against that very thing, the irony

> Too long have abhorrent actions by Donald Trump gone completely unchecked by major platforms

Why blame the platforms? What have the society, people, leaders done about it? He is the elected president after all. Hint: maybe there is a very large chunk of population that agrees with him. This might disgust you but I don't know what the fix is if a huge number of people are "backward"
