signed0··on Retool blames breach on Google Authenticator MFA cloud sync feature
[Dupe] of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37500895
signed0··on New privacy tools and policies to help you stay safe and in control online
I got this too until I disabled my adblocker, then it worked fine.
signed0··on Slack is down
In 2011 a small amount (0.02%) of Gmail users had all their emails deleted due to a bug: https://gmail.googleblog.com/2011/02/gmail-back-soon-for-eve... They ended up having to restore them from tape backup, which took several days. Affected users also had all their incoming mail bounce for 20 hours.
signed0··on Still Why No HTTPS?
Weirdly nature.com seems to actually redirect to https, as does zara.com, lenovo.com, genuis.com, and senate.gov. Is this list stale, or did no one spot-check this?

signed0··on Ask HN: Favorite HN comment(s)
Python, in particular flask: http://flask.pocoo.org/
signed0··on Access Denied to Apple.com
This is because whois just searches for domains that start with the given argument by default. Try google.com, same result. What you actually want is `whois "domain apple.com"`.
signed0··on Google makes it official: no porn apps for Chromecast
A better example is Netflix, which features movies that are rated NC-17.
signed0··on Google to Acquire Nest
If Apple bought Nest they would have killed the Android app.
signed0··on Gmail blows up e-mail marketing by caching all images on Google servers
When I just tried disabling it, the images that were displayed after I clicked 'Display Images Below' all still went through the proxy.
signed0··on Backpacker stripped of tech gear at Auckland Airport
Encrypt the files you take with you. For good measure make a full backup and leave it behind with someone you trust.
signed0··on Google Registry
According to the site[0], .foo is supposed to be for developers, .boo for scary stories, and .soy for spanish autobiographies.

Given how well .me and .info did (can't remember the last time I saw one of those) I can't see this gaining much traction at all.

I'm pretty sure it's 192kbps.
signed0··on New Top-Level Domains

signed0··on Terminal Cornucopia
The BLUNDERBUSSness Class is by far the best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lsem22DkIjw

TL;DR: AXE body spray is super combustable!

signed0··on Coin
I don't think I've ever been in a bar that held my ID, just my CC.
signed0··on Google to reject Chrome extensions outside of Chrome Web Store
Just for Windows users.
signed0··on Nexus 5
Ooh, here is the white one!

signed0··on NSA infiltrates links to Yahoo, Google data centers worldwide
It's currently at #10 on the frontpage. http://imgur.com/ZuIUSGl.png
signed0··on Fury at Facebook as login requests “Government ID”
That's not what happened at all. The link shortener that Obama used was hacked and previously shortened links where redirected. That article says nothing about his Facebook being hacked.
signed0··on In Firefox 24 and following, mark all versions of Java as unsafe
Google Hangouts is a plugin of its own, it does not use or depend on Java.
signed0··on What I've been up to for the past year
If I remember correctly, Bandcamp takes a 15% of revenue (it drops to 10% once you go above 5K) while Apple takes 30%.
signed0··on Perl 5 + Perl 6 = Perl 11
Ah, they are using the Winamp versioning system.
signed0··on Google Shopping Express now available to all SF and Peninsula Shoppers
Google Shopping Express just started delivering from Whole Foods.
signed0··on Google to Encrypt All Keyword Searches
While I wish Google would stop doing this, for now there are extensions that will replace the URLs in search results with the actual ones. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/undirect/dohbiijnj...
signed0··on The Secret of iOS 7
I can't imagine this working over AirPlay, the latency it introduces is pretty significant (1-2 sec).
signed0··on FBI Admits It Controlled Tor Servers Behind Mass Malware Attack
Which banks actually do this? I've never encountered one.
signed0··on Patent troll claiming playlists and podcasts scores license with SanDisk
This American Life did a show earlier this year about this specific troll.

signed0··on Duck Duck Go is blowing up again
No browser is going to even look at the X-DuckDuckGo-Locale header.

Edit: Crome doesn't do that for me.

signed0··on Update – We’re unable to offer upgrade pricing for Mac App Store purchases
You don't have to wait for Mavericks, it has already happened. Apps that are sold through the App Store can not make use of the the media keys on Apple keyboards, which is why VLC can use them and other apps can't.

Edit: other than iTunes
