mahouse··on The EU Is on the Verge of Collapse–An Interview with George Soros
Your point then is that I don't deserve my well being and I must accept a lower quality of life?
mahouse··on The EU Is on the Verge of Collapse–An Interview with George Soros
I haven't. My ancestors have. My very own grandparents have fought a civil war in my country. Have some respect.
mahouse··on The EU Is on the Verge of Collapse–An Interview with George Soros
Says the guy who has put his money to keep the Eastern European countries heads low.
mahouse··on 2015 “smashed” 2014’s global temperature record
It's not like we are forced to deal with them.

They can also be relocated to cold but uninhabited places such as Siberia.

mahouse··on Brave: Brendan Eich's clean-ads browser startup
What a disgusting personal attack. I hope you are happy of having written this.

"I don't like the political views of this guy so his project must be bad."

mahouse··on Why you should not develop apps for Windows 10
I must be the only one that cares about design, because the inconsistencies they introduced in margins, dialogs, style of buttons, etc. in 8.1 really grinded my gears.
mahouse··on Why you should not develop apps for Windows 10
Many people say that the problem with Windows Phone is that there are no apps, but the OS is crap as well.
mahouse··on Why you should not develop apps for Windows 10
Only that you only pay once for an OS, so by the time you realise many features are buggy, you can't just unpay.
mahouse··on Running 50km after 82h of fasting
I think the vinegar-scented sweat is even worse...
mahouse··on “Subject: Urgent Warning”
Even though I agree completely with you, you came to Hacker News to say that
mahouse··on Why isn't HTTPS everywhere yet?
I don't really trust an automatic tool with my configuration files, to be honest...
mahouse··on Why isn't HTTPS everywhere yet?
Less hassle? You have to renew it every a few months.
mahouse··on Autopwn every Android device on your network using BetterCap
bettercap can't be recommended enough. A very very friendly developer too. It's a spectacular piece of software that will only improve.
mahouse··on WhatsApp will no longer charge subscription fees
I like that WhatsApp is tied to my phone number. It just works. That's the one of the biggest reasons of its success.
mahouse··on Dear open-source maintainers, a letter from GitLab
A migration to Gitlab. GitHub would have to start fucking the developers asses in a serious and violent way for them to move to another place, the same way that the SourceForge -> GitHub move was done.
mahouse··on Dear open-source maintainers, a letter from GitLab
Actually, that will not happen.
mahouse··on African American Women Worked as Some of NASA's First Computers
No, but an article will hardly change my opinion on black people.
mahouse··on ISIS Has a Smartphone App
My own suggestion is to switch to pig latin.
mahouse··on ISIS Has a Smartphone App
Well, you can't update an app with the same app signed with another certificate.
mahouse··on Start up India: Webcast [video]
>and other critical shit

I understood that reference.

mahouse··on Bitcoin Is Dead, Long Live Bitcoin
>what would you have them do, block ISP traffic?

Forbid businesses from accepting BTC. It's that simple.

mahouse··on New York Wants to Force Vendors to Decrypt Users’ Phones
You don't realise they don't want to be able to actually decrypt the texts, what they want is to frame you (or whoever they want) as a suspect just because you use some encryption software.
mahouse··on My Experience With the Great Firewall of China
So they can know what you are doing? For example, if it's a business and they don't want their workers to spend all day on Facebook.
mahouse··on There are no secure smartphones
Well, that's actually a problem: if you are forced to use something like OsmocomBB, law enforcement will be more than glad to see they have a new reason to have you in jail.
mahouse··on The resolution of the Bitcoin experiment
Did you read the article? The author explicitly explains why Chinese miners don't want the block size increased.
mahouse··on The resolution of the Bitcoin experiment
Isn't the amount of money with real currencies also supposed to be limited?

(I'm not the kind of person to complain about being downvoted, because I literally don't care, but I'd like to know what's wrong in what I said. I always thought printing money is something no sane government would do.)

mahouse··on There are no secure smartphones
Doesn't the baseband control wifi too anyway? You should see the amount of things the SoC/baseband does.
mahouse··on The resolution of the Bitcoin experiment
>That's what North Korea has (to the extent they have internet), and it is a problem in every way.

Is it a problem for the rest of the world?

And I wasn't talking about Bitcoin in particular.

mahouse··on The resolution of the Bitcoin experiment
Just another reason to isolate our Internet from China.
mahouse··on Al Jazeera America to Shut Down in April
That it gets funny I guess. Around my neighbourhood there's always a Pajero parked around. I've smiled at it for years. Childish humour never dies.
