Re:Urgent Upcoming OpenSSL release patches critical vulnerability

At this point we consider rustls about as secure or a little more. Ring is a high-quality set of primitives thats basically some carefully ported boringssl code, and both it and rustls have been around for a good while and have plenty of contributors. Tbh we like the lack of old legacy cruft (where most openssl bugs get found) as much as a memory-safe language, ditching all that ancient code we don't need really cuts down attack surface.

Or, instead of expecting people to go rewrite stuff for you, you could go switch to rustls. It literally costs zero money.

Yep we've been using rustls for most of a year no issues. Memory safety go brrr :)

usually the answer for a negative strategy is set aside a long period of data for backtesting, right?

Re:Tik Tok is a national security threat

tik tok in America should be run by an entity with no chinese control. the china company should be required to enter into a joint venture with an American tech company but can keep a profits interest. it must share all IP. kinda like y'all chinese do to us already. make sure the communists have no control over what Americans see.

You're question isn't relevant. America has a more permissive regulatory environment because we believe in freedom. A company can be a natsec threat without violating regulations and saying "but they didn't break any rules" is not a strong rebuttal to "maybe we should make rules to stop shady behavior at the behest of hostile foreigners". Are you arguing this is not possible?

No, china requires specific strictures so such companies don't allow free speech that contradicts the party's communist doctrine or social aims. America is a free country so we don't require that. Problem is, this gives china influence over America but not the other way around. This is a bad thing both because it's asymmetrical and because America at least tries for freedom while china is a force against. Stop making these nonsense "both sides" arguments pretending china and America are equivalent.

The linked thread discusses how tik tok represents a natsec threat to America specifically. Whether y'all europeans think American bigtech is a natsec threat to non-American countries isn't really a concern right now.

Ask HN: Instagram disabled my business' account before I ever logged in. Help?
I created a new Instagram account for my business. Right away, it was locked and I could not log in without adding a phone number. I'm guessing it may be because I created the account from a Linux system. I added a phone number and it informed me that my account had been disabled and that I could not appeal this.I have logged into the account 0 times and just want to create a business...
