Your point then is that I don't deserve my well being and I must accept a lower quality of life?
I haven't. My ancestors have. My very own grandparents have fought a civil war in my country. Have some respect.

It's not like we are forced to deal with them.

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

What a disgusting personal attack. I hope you are happy of having written this.

Re:Why you should not develop apps for Windows 10 on Wednesday January 20, 2016 @09:06AM (#10938105)
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.

Many people say that the problem with Windows Phone is that there are no apps, but the OS is crap as well.
Re:Why you should not develop apps for Windows 10 on Wednesday January 20, 2016 @08:33AM (#10937896)
Only that you only pay once for an OS, so by the time you realise many features are buggy, you can't just unpay.

Even though I agree completely with you, you came to Hacker News to say that

I don't really trust an automatic tool with my configuration files, to be honest...

Less hassle? You have to renew it every a few months.
bettercap can't be recommended enough. A very very friendly developer too. It's a spectacular piece of software that will only improve.
Re:WhatsApp will no longer charge subscription fees on Monday January 18, 2016 @04:48PM (#10927244)
I like that WhatsApp is tied to my phone number. It just works. That's the one of the biggest reasons of its success.
Re:Dear open-source maintainers, a letter from GitLab on Monday January 18, 2016 @07:31AM (#10923998)
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.
Re:Dear open-source maintainers, a letter from GitLab on Monday January 18, 2016 @06:06AM (#10923712)
Actually, that will not happen.
No, but an article will hardly change my opinion on black people.

My own suggestion is to switch to pig latin.

Well, you can't update an app with the same app signed with another certificate.

>what would you have them do, block ISP traffic?

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

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.
Re:My Experience With the Great Firewall of China on Friday January 15, 2016 @07:04PM (#10913310)
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.
Re:There are no secure smartphones on Friday January 15, 2016 @06:38AM (#10908617)
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.

Did you read the article? The author explicitly explains why Chinese miners don't want the block size increased.

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.)

Doesn't the baseband control wifi too anyway? You should see the amount of things the SoC/baseband does.

Is it a problem for the rest of the world?

And I wasn't talking about Bitcoin in particular.

Just another reason to isolate our Internet from China.

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.
