I remember this too. When sendgrid was ddosed, as a company that entirely depended on sendgrid to send mails (I had joined recently), we were affected too. Since then, we run postfix and use multiple email providers behind it, but ironic how a tweet affected so many people.


For a comparison, node.js contributors are (http://nodejs.org/about/core-team/)

TJ Fontaine Alexis Campailla Fedor Indutny Trevor Norris Nathan Rajlich

Rather strange to see Fedor as a core team member in both projects, or at least one of them (likely node.js page) is out of date.


Its not strange, most of the people involved are core members of both projects. Its the same project, really. Its just that iojs actually has new releases, and node doesn't anymore.

Yes I know, I need to add `s/anymore/yet`. But the statement is pretty much accurate. Its been almost 2 years since 0.11.0 was released and 0.12 is nowhere in sight.


lets give them credit cards.


Poor people in the US don't have credit cards. They don't even generally have bank accounts, but enough of them do that I ignored that fact for the sake of discussion.


> Poor people in the US don't have credit cards.

No, this is wrong. The real tragedy is that poor people do have credit cards. The credit card system overwhelmingly favors those at the top -- people who automatically pay off their balances each month and enjoy 30-day interest free loans the rest of the time, versus people at the bottom who have a perpetual negative balance on their cards and who pay exorbitant interest rates that would be illegal in a civilized country.


Are you sure about this? I agree homeless people don't have credit cards, but I see the poorest people still have (multiple) credit cards. Maybe I'm not looking at the right places in the US?


The CCA is so aware of its own vulnerability, it refrains from the use of SSL on its own page http://cca.gov.in/cca/index.php - no https here :)


Indian govt websites have a pathetic sense of security. One prominent consumer facing website with logins and company data has a certificate issued to "Mohan Babu" (equivalent to John Doe) and expired 5 years back! I guess that's somewhat better than the other Indian govt websites that have no SSL at all!


Your evidence is anecdotal. The article, to its credit, has actual references, as in what Baba Ramdev said, and a good deal of people believe him.

Just see a gamut of India opinions here, https://in.toluna.com/opinions/1277868/what-will-happen-if-a...


A majority of educated Indians see Baba Ramdev as crook. A self-styled guru curing cancer with Yoga and whatnot. So yalogin's response may not link to hard evidence but just because Ramdev can get behind a cause does not mean majority of Indians believe in it.

EDIT: If anything - if you take intersection of salaried Middle class and Baba ramdev's followers, you will be left with a small set. I am not saying Bab ramdev does not have a large following, but in a country where literacy is 72% (with number going lower in north india, where majority of Baba ramdev's followers are), it is hard to argue that middleclass supports this man's viewpoints.


You should also run logwatch - it will show you all the attempts that keep happening on any public servers running ssh. I once had to look at a box compromised, which was then used to brute force other servers, and it contained a file with 100-200 passwords for other hosts it brute-forced.


Now that google fetches the images from its own servers once and then renders for all, would this even work?


Sure, if they used a unique filename for each email. Something like render.png?id=12345.


no, he means that because google caches the image upon reciept you can neither change the email nor delete it after it is sent.


Last I've checked google does proxy the images, but doesn't cache nor prefetch them. Has anything changed recently?


I guess that's why the email can only be unsent or modified until the recipient opens it.


We support unsend at anytime. We technically could also support edit at anytime, even after open, but we do not because we believe editing after open serves no legitimate purpose - just manipulation. It doesn’t even seem fun to us. Thanks for commenting.

quantom factorization, hilbert spaces, fourier transforms and error correcting codes, all of these would be found in any quantum mechanics 101 course, definitely far from unrelated.


I'm not sure I agree with this, after skimming the paper. For instance, the author does not seem to be using terms like quantum factorization in the usual way (In the sense of a problem tackled by Shor's algorithm).


I've only glanced at the paper, but it looks to me as if he's using it in another perfectly usual way, namely referring to situations where the wavefunction and/or the Hilbert space it lives in can be written exactly or approximately as a product over simpler things. There's nothing wrong with that.


Rule 34 for software: If it exists, there IS a javascript port of it.


That would be Atwood's Law: any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript.

And tlrobinson's Law (or corollary?): Any submission to Hacker News about a novel JavaScript program will contain a comment referencing Atwood's Law.

What about emacs in Linux in JavaScript? :-)

http://bellard.org/jslinux/


It would be missing a good editor. Probably not a bad operating system however


All it needs is for someone to implement JavaScript in elisp and the circle would be complete.... :-)


Done.

http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-fr/Ejacs

Ejacs is an Ecma-262 compliant JavaScript interpreter written entirely in Emacs Lisp. It should work in GNU Emacs versions 22 and higher.

bahahahahaha.


PatientZero's law: Any submission to Hacker News about a novel Java script program containing a reference to Atwood's law will contain a reference to tlrobinson's law.

;-)


...authored by tlrobinson?


Even more true now that Emscripten and asm.js exist.
