hasa··on Tools You Should Know as a Cybersecurity Engineer
This article was useful. Not everyone are experienced in the cybersecurity.
hasa··on Is your chip card secure? Much depends on where you bank
Actually 3DS is much more reliable than giving credit card numbers to random online merchant that will face data breach sooner or later.
hasa··on Proof of work algorithm in Monero based on random code execution
Ok it's wrong to say "nothing". But I don't really see consensus nor reliability in crypto currencies. Specially the consensus seems to be missing, if you look this phenomena far enough.
hasa··on Stanford JavaScript Crypto Library
I'm thinking this from the security point of view. Unless you bring the crypto operations outside the battlefield of JS runtime, any js library is basically unsecure.
hasa··on Proof of work algorithm in Monero based on random code execution
Proof of work is anyway bad idea (work for nothing), unless the work is something useful.
hasa··on Quines: self-replicating programs (2005)
This could be an evolution of software.
hasa··on JPMorgan Extends Banking Services to Bitcoin Exchanges
Proof of work really sucks. Bitcoin was poor invention.
hasa··on Bullshit Ability as an Honest Signal of Intelligence
Many personality disorders are related to intelligence. Nothing new. The dark side exists.
hasa··on Penrose: Create diagrams by typing mathematical notation in plain text
I was too lazy to scroll down to see it. Cognitive load increased to the level of buffer overflow before seeing the example :)
hasa··on Penrose: Create diagrams by typing mathematical notation in plain text
I can't find a hello world diagram so I'm not interested.
hasa··on Using Reinforcement Learning in the Algorithmic Trading Problem
Human greediness is endless. Using AI for stock trading is just unethical and waste of resources. We are sick.
hasa··on Psychological effects of coding style (2016)
Opening curly brace must open a new line!!!!!
hasa··on Stages of denial in encountering K
Some people find entertaining from these extremely compact syntax languages. I have hard time to understand them, but such is life.
hasa··on Facebook Asking for Some New Users' Email Passwords
1.4 ?
hasa··on Facebook Asking for Some New Users' Email Passwords

hasa··on Ethereum Plans to Cut Its Energy Consumption by 99 Percent
>Think of the crypto industry as AI training, most is pure junk, until a regression is fit.

This is perfect description. Best sentence I've read today.

hasa··on Coinbase is exploring the addition of new currencies
Bitcoin is really ugly. The utterly ugly algorithm requires storing of enormous amounts of waste data and requires extremely unefficient computational work of "mining". It's just a showcase of human greediness and stupidity.
hasa··on Cancer Hospital Ads Deceive Patients About Their Chances Of Survival
TV-shop of medical treatments, LOL.
hasa··on Digging into Browser-Based Crypto Mining
I don't understand why so many are still blind to these very serious problems and praise crypto currencies. I see mining as bigger problem than spam.
hasa··on A map showing the steepness of streets (2013)
Height contours of topographic maps have existed more than 100 years.
hasa··on Line Launches Its First Cryptocurrency 'Link'
Creating unscaleable energy wasting ponzi scheme mostly for darknet use is something which I personally call ultimate failure. Maybe not a technical failure, but it is sad chapter in humans history.
hasa··on Ask HN: I want to be a 40h/week intermediate developer.How do I stay employable?
Impossible to immigrate to Sweden? They take enormous amounts of immigrants every year. If you just find employer, they will handle the bureaucracy for you. At least you'll get a work permission for certain time and it can be extended if conditions are ok. Consider Finland too.
hasa··on Krypton: phone-based U2F Authenticator
I don't see much sense using U2F. If you just need a 2nd factor, then TOTP based solutions do it cheaper and easier. FIDO 2.0 is the way to go if FIDO is required.
hasa··on Amazon Aurora Serverless
Isn't AWS Redshift based on Postgresgl ?
hasa··on Amazon Aurora Serverless
Second that. Serverless is a buzzword like AI. But the concept is brilliant from many perspectives. It may save architects and developers from db scaling headaches.
hasa··on Decentralising the web: Why is it so hard to achieve?
I don't see decentralization as ultimate goal. Why should it be?
hasa··on A Map of Wireless Passwords from Airports and Lounges
Do I need to explain risks using foreign local networks in HN ? I see it quite unfair to get a downvote for this.
hasa··on A Map of Wireless Passwords from Airports and Lounges
Any wifi other than yours, or your company's is huge security risk. I would not trust a second for a service like this.
hasa··on Time to rebuild the web?
Blockchain mentioned! Where are other useless buzzwords ?
hasa··on Kodak shares up as it announces KODAKCoin cryptocurrency
There are of course frontmen or front companies doing the job
