Ask HN: Moratorium on threads related to the culture wars and identity politicshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10659075The Hacker News guidelines permit "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity".Now, even HN qualifies what isn't suitable for political stories: "Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon." Rest assured, most such stories do not satisfy this criterion, or wear off their novelty all too quickly.Be it the Millennials whose whining will immanentize the eschaton, the white heterosexual males and their original sin of mercantilism and colonialism, the feminists and Cultural Marxists who want to usurp Western values (whatever they are this month)... it is all grinding.The chief complaint, of course, is that threads on this subject are devoid of any value pertaining to debate. They instead serve as hubs for signaling normative dispositions. The inevitable result of such vacuous posturing is attrition. Discussions grow ever more primordial, threads on the subject increase and these elements spill over to other threads

Patriot Act Section Goes Way Too Farhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9628531Via: http://www.cincinnati.com/story/opinion/letters/2015/05/29/letter-patriotact-sunset-senate-spying/28185561/"Section 215 of the Patriot Act is scheduled to sunset on Monday. This law was secretly interpreted to allow the mass surveillance of who you talk to on the phone. Such information can be deeply intimate and private: Consider, for instance, what you could infer from a record of numerous calls to a local oncology center and pharmacies. Section 215 is a pointless, expensive intrusion into the private life of every American. On May 22, the Senate voted against extending Section 215. Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has indicated he will bring it up again for a last­minute vote on Sunday. I write to encourage local readers to ask their senators, especially McConnell and Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, not to extend these surveillance provisions because they run counter to the spirit and letter of the Constitution.

Ask HN: Finding a technical lead in Cambridge, MA?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8675900Over the last several months, I have tested and validated a business opportunity in the legal space. Customers are very interested - 4 or the last 5 have asked to be part of a paid Beta as soon as possible. I'd like to get something workable into customers hands as soon as possible, but am hamstrung by my technical skills.I'm by background and skillset much more business than technically oriented. I know enough Python/Django to be dangerous and have built a working proof-of-concept / demo. However, I know when I'm at the limit of my capabilities, and to take it from POC to working product, would like to bring on someone to help buildout a real product.Some of the problems that need to be solved for (many of which I've been dealing with in one capacity or another): - web scraping. Done mostly with BeautifulSoup to date + lots of custom regexes. There are a lot of corner cases to deal with. - regularly scraping 10,000s of pages and watching for changes on those pages - entity and person

Ask HN: Anyone else seeing Gmail's "Display density: Compact" not working?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5383558TL;DR: Gmail theme "Orcas Island" is borked. Any others?(Maybe I should have tried harder to squeeze "theme Orcas Island" into the title...)--Yes, this is using HN as "Google customer support", but what other option do I have?In Gmail's web client, I use the theme "Orcas Island" for a more pleasant experience. (Not only do I like the pictures; it also changes the background from white to a less bright gray-blue.)Today, in that theme, "Display density: Compact" is no longer working. Whitespace galore.I noticed some other Gmail changes, e.g. the prompt to confirm mobile phone number (for security notifications). So, maybe the same push broke this aspect of theming?So far, I've only noticed this affecting the theme "Orcas Island". (But, I'm not going to check them all...)Googling has revealed nothing on this.

The End of the Road for the actual American pastime…TVhttp://technovisions.wordpress.com/The Grim Future for our Favorite Pastimeby Evan CTelevision. For most, it seems like the most basic of technologies, something people have been living with their entire lives. However, discussing the future of such an important and (dare I say) essential technology is no easy task, for you and I both know that change is not something people are always open to. My purpose for writing this is to not only inform people of the revolution at our doorstep, but to also encourage others to seek alternative viewing methods and explore the existing technology that is already out there.Now, the things I am about to explain may seem obvious at some points and entirely unrealistic at others, but you must remember to think outside the box and understand that the future is not always simple to explain. For example, think about trying to explain e-mail (or e-mail on your iPhone) to somebody from 1988. To them it would seem impossible, but little did they know that only a decade later, AOL would have o

Ask HN: How should I go public with a security hole?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4050901We're evaluating an expensive software system for a certain industry. We've found public facing exploitable holes in the login system (default passwords, improper firewalls, SQL injection), which is directly translatable into profitable fraud.That is, if we used this system and someone exploited it, they could cause direct financial harm. These systems are almost always exposed to the public internet.I spoke to the company, and they seemed rather apathetic about the situation, although they said they'd fix the SQLi. Despite the codebase being in C, they report they've had no RCE security issues, "just crashes". I find that highly unlikely, more no one bothered investigating.How should I handle this? I'm worried for my own company which is at risk, and I'd also like to publish this info, as this market tends to sweep things under the carpet. In the past, with another vendor in the same market, I've privately reported, and found the vendor lied about fixing things and did not explain the
