finidon Families of San Bernardino Shooting Sue Facebook, Google, Twitter

We started this mess. Recall that we were told that after we get rid of Saddam, that Iraq will become a shinning example for the rest of the ME, and the world. That the guy was such a bad guy that the world will be a far better place without him.

finidon Families of San Bernardino Shooting Sue Facebook, Google, Twitter

I think the guy was wearing underwear at the time, so Hanes? can be sued too.

finidon Tuleap, Free&Open Source Platform for Agile Management and Software Development

Looks nice.

Btw, your website is not responsive.

finidon Hardware Wanted by OpenBSD developers

Why the OpenBSD project is still begging for hardware in 2017 is a mystery to me.

With all the IP they're sitting on, the OpenBSD Foundation should find a way to monetize at least one. OpenSSH alone is worth tons of money.

finidon US Dept of Justice literally prosecuting a woman for laughing at Jeff Sessions

Sometimes I want to laugh, and hope that these guys must be kidding...

But they're not kidding. These guys are acting out what they truly believe, and they have all the power in the world. Hope they last just 4 years.

finidon Why website body text should be bigger

Not just that, but the font color is too close to the background color, making it even harder to read.

finidon Muonium – An encrypted cloud

I like that I can host the code on my own servers. Very nice!

They just need to make the installation easier.

finidon Gixy – opensource Nginx configuration (security) analisys tool

finidon “Restoring Internet Freedom” Notice of Proposed Rulemaking [pdf]

to preserve the future of Internet Freedom, and to reverse the decline in infrastructure investment, innovation, and options for consumers put into motion by the FCC in 2015.

There has been a decline in innovation since 2015? How did they determine that? I must be missing something...

Propose to reinstate the determination that mobile broadband Internet access service is not a commercial mobile service...

Really! Commercial must have a special meaning here.

finidon GitPitch – Markdown Presentations for Devs on GitHub and GitLab

I can never remember how to make text bold or italic in Markdown.

I stopped reading your comment there. It indicates that you're either lazy or not too bright.

A 5 year old can pick up 95% of Markdown in 5 minutes. Yes, and that includes bolding and italicizing text.

finidon The Cheap Energy Revolution Is Here, and Coal Won’t Cut It

And yet his energy plan is to cut regulations to resuscitate the one sector that’s never coming back: coal.

Wait! Hold it right there! Are you trying to tell me that "clean coal" is not coming back? </sarcasm>

finidon American Media Are Getting People at Home Ready for War with North Korea

Iran's nuclear program poses a much greater threat to the United States and its interests.

How is Iran's program at self-defense any threat to the USA? Is that the same way that Iraq, under Saddam, was a clear and present danger to the USA?

finidon You don't need a Linkedin account

Agreed!

Let's talk. See the contact info at linuxbsdos.com/contact and ping me.

finidon What do you think about my project?

I think this should carry a Show HN in the title, then describe what the program does.

finidon How SSH got port number 22

It might not seem much to you now, but to a student in Finland, receiving an immediate and positive response to a request from a very important person in your field is y(h)uge.

I recall the feeling I got the first time I sent a message to the Nessus mailing list. I couldn't compile the program so I was asking for help.

I thought I was going to wait for a long time, but was surprised when a response came a few minutes after. The response came from the author of the program itself, and he was very nice in how he answered my question. It was obvious that I was a noob and needed hand-holding. It made a lot of difference to me.

You have no idea how that positive response affected Tatu.

Edit: Changed possible to positive in the last paragraph.

And not even one is in the USA.

finidon Project Sopris: The Seven Properties of Highly Secure Devices

The Project Sopris Team is a research team exploring the goal of securing the vast number of low cost internet connected devices coming online.

They should set up a sub-team to explore the goal of making sure that those connected devices don't have backdoors.

finidon Caddy 0.10 Released

With dynamic modules support now in Nginx, that practice should end.

finidon Only 4.77% of Indian engineering students can write correct logic

10 words long? I counted 5 paragraphs with about 45 words each.

finidon China takes a key step toward building a large space station

The point is China doesn't really care about the ISS. They are just happy building their won from scratch. In the long run, it makes them much better, because they're learning from their own mistakes and successes.

We're our own worst enemy.

finidon A new upstream project to break up Docker into independent components

Somehow I feel that with this announcement and his (defensive) answers to simple questions that call for clarification, that the interest in rkt just went up some.

finidon Facebook: greater than 15% of employees are H1Bs

Go to the website of practically every tech company, and you'll find at least 3 open positions for coders. They're looking for qualified people to fill them.

finidon Some 4.5M Japanese aged between 35 and 54 are living with their parents

It's actually very ideal. The support system is far superior to what you'll find at a day care or elderly care facility.

finidon Some 4.5M Japanese aged between 35 and 54 are living with their parents

Offspring in the animal kingdom get booted out because they pose a threat or are an unwanted competition for resources.

finidon Some 4.5M Japanese aged between 35 and 54 are living with their parents

Three!

Let's do it the other way. I'll name only one where living with your parents is considered not kosher - the USA. In practically every traditional society, living in the family home is just fine, especially for those members of the family that don't have their own homes.

In fact if the family home is sizable, raising your own family inside the family home is OK too. I've seen it everywhere I've traveled - much of Africa and South America.

finidon Some 4.5M Japanese aged between 35 and 54 are living with their parents

In many societies, living with your parents is nothing unusual, especially if they own their own home.

finidon H-1B visas mainly go to Indian outsourcing firms

Indian universities are terrible...

That's a very broad statement. They are so terrible they manage to produce engineers and scientists who then come here and other parts of the world for higher degrees.

finidon Nonprofit Working to Block Drug Imports Has Ties to Pharma Lobby

If you happen to be in NYC (USA), stop by any major Chinese grocery store in Flushing, Queens. You'll find albendazole and other anthelmintics for about $10/pack.
