Do you have any more details on how you designed the site? I see that it was in framer.

Who determines the standards for Authentication? Is there a main working group?

Ask HN: Why did Google leave the GIS space?

I work as a devops guy new to the GIS space. I keep hearing how the current giant ESRI was worried about google entering the market with a GIS tool (like a professional google earth), but they never did.I know they have the locations API, but they don't have a tool like qGIS or ArcGIS.Does anyone have any insight as to why they didn't pursue entering the market?

This mode of transport is very similar to how people ride Jeepney's in my country, the Philippines. I didn't see anything on how it would pick the routes, but I can tell you that it can get pretty smelly in there without windows.

Jeepneys are great though, I hope this mode of transport catches on.

Thank you for what you and your team do. Is there anyway I can help contribute to your organization?

Pretty sure this is the US flexing their new (or old I guess) drone tech.

This is great! Thank you for sharing your experience.

I have a couple questions with your notes about politics.

Could you expand on what you mean when you say "fall back to first principals"?

"If politics thrives due to team of company culture, switch" Could you expand on this if possible?

I'm sympathetic to your situation. However, after looking at your post history I see you were in a similar situation in Thailand during 2017. How did you get yourself out of that situation? Is it possible to follow a similar approach?

You should take what others have said about the embassy as a serious option. That's what they are there for.

How does the VPN work?
I've met this guy. I used to live in Subic in the Philippines. I always thought he was a drunk that was lying about his past. Teaches me...

This is great! I've always wanted to learn more about Signals Processing.
Re:Edward Snowden says it's your 'duty' to install ad blockers on Wednesday November 18, 2015 @02:54PM (#10590261)
Im personally more concerned about trackers more than ads. I don't want commerical companies collecting more than 2000 data points on me then selling it to some other data broker. I've used many tracker blockers, and one that lets me keep organized is https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/redmorph-browser-c....

In terms of privacy tools, I work for a company that makes one aimed for the general internet user (i.e. someone who doesn't know what DNS is). Do you have any comments on our extension? https://redmorph.com

We aimed to put adblock/ublock/donottrack all in one extension and coupled it with vpn and proxy paid services.

Re:The web is becoming unusable on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @10:36AM (#10500213)
I can recommend Redmorph. It bundles everything that is in adblock/ublock and donottrack into one extension. Also comes with paid for proxy and VPN services if you're into that.

Really cool suite of tools there! Have you tried https://redmorph.com (shameless plug) ? It might help add to your arsenal of internet privacy tools or help you use less. Please let me know of any feedback you might have on it.
Re:OpenSSH for Windows - From Microsoft on Thursday October 22, 2015 @03:57PM (#10434634)
It's about time! I would love more details on this. Putty has been the go to for decades. Having SSH capabilities standard on all windows machines might be a bit of a concern given MSFT's track record with security on their machines.
Re:A Network-Based Comparison of Popular Privacy Extensions on Friday October 16, 2015 @04:08PM (#10401705)
Adblock, Ghostery, and Disconnect have been around for so long. It's surprising the results that come from this article. Would be curious to see if someone could replicate the results.
