HN Comment Sorting?

Hi,Is there any way to sort the comments by categories such as Date or Time posted? Also many dead comments are very good gems compared to the highest rated in a thread (due to all the possible manipulation) is there a way to sort those to the top?

And I want a billion dollars??

If they are behind a foreign VPN, you cannot unmask them.

It makes me physically angry that the gov't has the nerve to even suggest that they can remove Assange. These kangaroo circuits need to be vanquished. The world has been shown that the law ONLY applies to the common man, so why should I even hold a notion that a court could possibly be legitimate?

It makes me so unbelievably sick that the western powers that be are TORTURING a journalist because he exposes their sick crimes.
You may not want to hear it, but it involves manning the hell up and just whip it out. Your political views. You cannot hide them forever. In real life I have no problem letting people know exactly how I feel. And if you don't know how I feel about something feel free to ask.

It was just something I remembered that I found interesting when I first learned about it prior to this article.
Surely.
You bring up a point of interest to me about the potential for malicious code that would bruteforce private networks to use as a covert channel. In regards to IoT devices, is there any documented cases of this happening in the wild? I could possibly see actors inserting malicious code baked in that would search for public wifi networks in things like a smart TV.

Not sure if the article mentions it (haven't read it yet) but JTF-ARES was the force tasked with sabotage and often it was against targets such as the militants video (propaganda) productions.

Edit: Really not sure why I got downvoted, as I provided accurate info?

Government cannot put restrictions on natural rights like freedom of speech, so it doesn't really matter what the supreme court may think.

You are free to say what ever you feel like, and if anyone tells you differently say you use a foreign VPN! ;)

Ain't that the truth. The government has been shitting on it's citizens for a very long time now with all those treasonous DHS entities.

May the citizens rip apart the federal LE agencies into a thousand pieces and scatter them into the wind.

It's such a fake non-issue. It's just to get America involved in the ME on behalf of another country's interests.

I understand what this site is about so no issue here.
Re:ProtonDrive Security Model on Tuesday September 08, 2020 @05:40PM (#24413788)
Thanks, I see another poster found a link to a statement they have on their site about it now it seems.

There is a particular leaks site that also called out Proton for routing their connection thru a similar shady service in the past.

It's like when they used Radware for _protection_ but I do give them credit for abandoning them after all the public outcry.

I'm very curious op, where/when did you first read about them using Neustar? I didn't know that until I read your comment.

Re:ProtonDrive Security Model on Tuesday September 08, 2020 @05:18PM (#24413518)
Anything and everything. I'm serious.
Re:ProtonDrive Security Model on Tuesday September 08, 2020 @04:35PM (#24413009)
I would _never_ trust anything *proton. They hide behind Swiss law but will cave to any serious American request for info.
It's just their official app is _so_ bad one is either required to use the web interface (which nags you to download their app) or download a 3rd party (cr)app just to read the damn thing.
The government commits so many felonies and break so many laws daily that laws are really just for us peasants these days.
So, if I am reading this correctly, the cops are complaining that citizens are recording them with home cameras and expect to be able to go into a person's home with no accountability.
Has there been any progress with coming up with a system that can _reliably_ jam them?
Drone swarms will definitely be a go-to standard in warfare soon. It has already been in use for a few years over in the ME.
The best protection we have for this blatant invasion of our privacy (and dignity) is CV Dazzle camo.
Sadly this is the case more often than not these days.
The ACLU is a complete joke to most people and the least thing from moderate possible. They also can't stand normal people having guns.

Solution: Make your own "smart" electronics if you desperately feel the need for a light bulb that can talk to your toaster...

Related, I see the user redis_mlc posted a very insightful comment about how the American court system fucks over the defendant for the government every time, and it's "dead" for some reason. I suggest everyone turn on show dead comments because usually they are the most helpful the majority of the time. When information is being suppressed you know it's good.

I know they market this product for security researchers, and I've read all sorts of good reviews about the "anonymous" version. May everyone expand on this concept:

Colleges are in for an extremely rude awakening. No more int'l student tuition coupled with the fact that most people don't need college anymore when you can learn better than some two-bit "professor" could teach you with just a set of instructional videos. Add in a take home exam and now you are running your own ivy league education for free.
To use a powerful animal tranquilizer on a human being just to make some cops' job "easier" is about the most abhorrent, sickly thing I have heard in years. I don't want to read any more of this.

To think of all the complications in a person's body from experiencing a drug that puts your conscience in a literally black hole (K-hole) is just sick. It's wrong.
