fuj··on Kaspersky: Poorly detected backdoor targeting governments and NGOs around globe
Interestingly, the map they use shows Crimea as part of Ukraine.

The article must be tailored to the foreigner audience since there doesn't seem to be an equivalent one in the Russian version of their website.

fuj··on Tell HN: DuckDuckGo now seems to have tracking links on its HTML search results
I've flagged this post for obviously false information. This is just to obfuscate/hide the referrer which could contain the search query.

A simple search would have yielded this answer but yet you chose to make this damaging statement without any due diligence.

fuj··on Call of Duty Adds Kernel Level Driver for Anti-Cheat
Isn't this the case for every major OS? I know FreeBSD device drivers can be (un)loaded on-the-fly. Same for MacOS. I assume it's also possible in Linux(?)
fuj··on Building Permanent and Censorship-Resistant Blog with Ethereum ENS and IPFS
Does it work in China? Can a website hosted in ipfs be blocked by them?
fuj··on TikTok CEO Kevin Mayer to leave the company
To make it worse, the "As a European" is usually followed by a very judgemental or even arrogant statement. As we, the enlightened, don't understand those hillbilly politics.

What does the OP not understand? The concern of China controlling key economic and tech areas? OR that a president can block a company from operating in his country?

As a European, I might not agree with the decision but I do understand the general concern behind it.

fuj··on Sublime Text Build 3101
Nice excuse for being cheap. Is Sublime unstable or lacking any major feature? Why the pressure of getting more regular updates if there's not anything critical missing. On the contrary, it has a lot of features, there's a massive eco system of plugins for it.

Do you use Sublime for work? If so, you should pay for it. Any other excuse is just you, being cheap. $70 is nothing for it offers.

fuj··on Ask HN: What does the rising value of the US dollar mean for me?
Maybe not to you that much unless you plan on travelling abroad... but it is for me. I live in the eurozone and get paid mostly in USD. I'm a freelancer and most of my clients are in the US
fuj··on Ask HN: A friend has an offer from an ethically questionable company
Well... this is not really your business, is it? If your friend does not like it, he can easily leave. I do not see the problem here.

If you were my friend and I found out that you have been asking this sort of stuff behind my back on such public forum like this, plus, potentially jeopardizing my chances of getting a job since it's not that hard to figure out which company you're talking about, I'd tell you to go take a hike.

fuj··on Facebook iOS App Scrapes Your Clipboard?
...and this is one of the many reasons that any organization that does care about security "still" uses BlackBerry
fuj··on Ask HN: Anti-drone, anti-surveillance tech for the home?
Are you crazy? What are you going to suggest next? Blinds?!
fuj··on Ask HN: Using a mac as the main development system or not
OP may have rounded up a bit but in Europe it costs around €2850 ($3200).

fuj··on Tell HN: Last day to export LinkedIn data
Like it was said already the user will still be able to export their own data. It sounds more like you wanted show your little web app....
fuj··on 2015 MacBook Review
Interesting you say this, since pretty much everyone agrees that this laptop is nothing more than a "facebook" machine. Has a slow processor, low amount of ram, awful keyboard, etc.
fuj··on Ask HN: You're fit and you work startup hours (9+), how do you do it?
Good point, missed that one.
fuj··on Ask HN: You're fit and you work startup hours (9+), how do you do it?
You're telling me you work approx. 12h every SINGLE day (weekends included) and that has no effect in your social life, mental and physical health? 3 options:

1) Your social life's definition is different from everyone's else.

2) You only sleep 2h a day

3) This is a load of bs

fuj··on Your best passive income? (2015)
For God's sake, these sort of threads pop up every week. No one has a magical formula that you can just copy. There are thousands of ideas in the other 200 threads about passive income. Please just stop... really.. stop.
fuj··on Valve Economist Yanis Varoufakis Appointed Finance Minister of Greece
What about forging documents to get accepted in the eurozone? Forging documents to get more loans? The rampant corruption on every level of the Greek society? [1] Obviously this is not politically correct, so downvotes are expected.

fuj··on Ask HN: I have 100MM views/month and need to monatize
I'm surprised no one has suggested you to just simply take donations or suck it up. After all, according to most HN users, all ads are bad and adblock is a God's gift. You have no right getting revenue on the content you create.
fuj··on Recreating “Portugal cakes” from 1730
Are you from Lisbon (or near) ?
fuj··on Microsoft hits out at Google team over bug report
Exactly this. Too bad some people's hatred towards MS blinds them.
fuj··on Ask HN: Is using ASP.NET MVC, C# with Azure a bad idea for startup?
That can be said about any stack, can't it? If he chooses language A, and I only know language B, C and D, then obviously I will not apply.
fuj··on Moving away from Gmail. Which service to choose?
Hey I'm on your side, I was being sarcastic. I also switched from gmail to outlook. But in HN everything "mainstream" gets downvoted. You like Outlook? Enjoy the downvotes, You like MS Office instead of XYZ ? Downvoted, etc, etc
fuj··on Moving away from Gmail. Which service to choose?
Upvoted for the courage of recommending a service that actually works fine but is not welcome in the HN's hipster culture. Expect getting downvoted to oblivion...
fuj··on Failing the startup game at Unbabel
It's not a language barrier problem. I'm from Portugal too and he sounds like a douche.
fuj··on Ask HN: Looking for advice – Failed startup, long term relationship at same time
What was the startup's name?
fuj··on Why does SWIFT messages cost money?
> It's just plain stupid

Typical HN "hacker" who has no idea how the real world works.

I also cannot see why wouldn't ALL banks in the WORLD change their established and heavily tested communications protocol that works, with another protocol. I'm also sure that change would cost a few bucks only, so.. why don't they do it?!

fuj··on (Why) I quit Hacker News (2010)
Wow... everything is a startup nowadays
fuj··on JetBlue Passwords in Plaintext
As it was said before, careful with what you are saying. That looks like a welcome email, which was sent as soon as you registered (password not encrypted yet) which is not a good idea anyway, but still, far from the security issue it would be if they were stored in plaintext.
fuj··on We just interviewed at Y Combinator – here’s the full transcript
So... your "startup" is something that bit.ly (and similar) could do in a few hours of work with an already established userbase.
fuj··on Ruby Security Have You Not
STOP LYING! Everyone knows the only security issues nowadays are caused by developing in PHP, that's why we bash it every day, right guys?!
