drraid0··on Xi Jinping decides to abolish presidential term limits
Yes. But Japan has been mostly, um, "inert" and peaceful since WW2. China's history since WW2, to this day, has been one of one atrocity after another. Things seem to be getting worse with Winnie the Pooh declaring him eternal president.

Also, if Japan was Asia raping in WW2, China is China-raping now.

drraid0··on Xi Jinping decides to abolish presidential term limits
It is disturbing because China did not hesitate to kill 10000 of their own people in 1989 on a shoestring budget, and faced no consequence. Who knows what they would do to Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, etc.
drraid0··on How GDPR Will Change The Way You Develop
What if the user requests to be put on a do-not-send list (for email newsletters, etc)? Is that data that can and must be preserved?
drraid0··on How GDPR Will Change The Way You Develop
It seems that since the gpdr requires deletion of data upon user request, companies will not be able to send recall notices when, say, a medical device starts killing customers.
drraid0··on Keep your Identity Small (2009)
I don't recall how it was back in 2009, but you definitely don't need to be a JavaScript expert to have passionately useless opinions about it.
drraid0··on Advanced SQL window function quiz
Meanwhile I'm stuck with mysql 5.4 without foreign keys, cuz, you know, performance. (The main db for a billion dollar security company)
drraid0··on Docker for data scientists: Introduction and use cases
How? what is there besides running pip?
drraid0··on Using Java 9 Modularization to Ship Zero-Dependency Apps
Are the installers for such "native" apps going to ask me to install an Ask.com toolbar?
drraid0··on Goldman CEO on Bitcoin: “A Vehicle to Perpetrate Fraud”
They don't like competition.
drraid0··on Ask HN: Anyone using NLP to tag sentences?
Yes I have. Convolutional Nets work well for simpler cases. See [Yoon Kim 2014](https://arxiv.org/abs/1408.5882). FYI "Tagging" in NLP is more used for labelling individual words (verbs, nouns, pronouns, etc). "Classification" is a better keyword here.
drraid0··on Snapchat Has a Child-Porn Problem
Snap should hire Craig Newmark. He was able to get away with pimping prostitutes on his site for a decade+.
drraid0··on Paradise Papers: Dear Tim Cook
Hacker News Staff: can you please publish stats on how many of the comments on this thread are posted from Apple devices?
drraid0··on Angular 5.0.0
It isn't. A fresh 'ng serve --open' takes ~20 seconds to get to a ready page, and each reload is taking 10+ average. Every minor change.

I can personally stand it because I remember working on 2 million line C++ projects in the 90's. The millennials on my team, on the other hand, are going insane. I've recommend they disable live-reloading completely.

drraid0··on They’re Talking Behind My Back: Remote Workers Feel Unsupported
I'll take more time with my family and a little ostracism over a 80 minute commute on BART and an open office any day of the week.
drraid0··on Angular 5.0.0
All I want for Angular are better error message and better browser-refresh times. Right now on 4 I get a meaningless page of gobbledeguck for most error (b/c of transpilation) and 12 seconds to reload the page.
drraid0··on If you care about diversity, don't just hire from the same five schools
What if I don't care about "diversity" as measured by the number of "underrepresented" minorities, and instead care about the fiduciary responsibility I have to maximize value for stock holders?
drraid0··on Dollar General Hits a Gold Mine in Rural America
Who ever made that Who Shops Where in Arkansas graph needs to be castrated.

Where's your Wikipedia page then?
drraid0··on China Blocks WhatsApp
WeChat also has a shit privacy and security record. In the western world there are also plenty of payment alternatives to using a chat program.
drraid0··on China Blocks WhatsApp
How is it better than whatsapp?
drraid0··on When it comes to internet privacy, be afraid, analyst suggests
That's very hard to believe. Is this 100% anecdotal or are there studies?
drraid0··on Show HN: Extension-blocking domains removed by threat from other blacklists
Then go ahead and build it. Maybe it'll get adopted like name coin by dozens of people. Actually, name coin was actually a decent idea because dns needs to be decentralized. Text files like this do not, at least no more than git already is.
drraid0··on Show HN: Extension-blocking domains removed by threat from other blacklists
That's a stupid idea. What if you ever wanted to start a revocation list, when a domain is added genuinely by mistake? You'd have to use the same priv key for signing those as well, at which point you might as well have a single text file with provenance (aka git)
drraid0··on Flush times for hackers in booming cyber security job market
I'm looking to get out of security after being in IR and security research at a large startup for 5 years. I am having no luck finding anything besides glorified helpdesk jobs and other entry level positions.
