Has minimalism gone too far?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4721593I am a minimalist at heart, but practicality & utility override any and all desire for a minimal UI.To a degree minimalism increases usability, cuts down on distractions with other links to other articles,media,etc and lets the user focus on the article or whatever work they're doing if its a desktop app.To be quite frank I'm sick of websites with three miles of whitespace on both sides of an 80 character wide column article text and no navbar or links to get to the website's homepage.examples (from HN's top articles about 30 mins ago) http://mkronline.com/2012/10/30/you-arent-imagining-it-the-web-is-a-mess/ http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/10/googles-most-advanced-voice-search-has.html http://joel.is/ I'll admit, to a degree, some of it is bad coding/design using fixed sizes in pixels instead of relative sizes for things (em) so the page renders the same independent of screen resolution.The same sort of thing is going on with desktop applications, menus and options are getting gankOct 31, 2012 7:17 AM

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 theMay 31, 2012 11:04 PM

Tell HN: Please help Japanese Sculptor After His Guerrilla-Art Sparks Bomb Panichttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4007245Many of you might have read the New York Times article already about artist and designer Takeshi Miyakawa, who was arrested and charged this weekend for installing a piece of spontaneous public art in Williamsburg. Although it involved wires and electricity, it was completely harmless, he was charged for class D felony of reckless endangerment, the placing of false bombs, and criminal nuisance. He is being held at Riker's Island for 30 days and psych evaluation.If you haven't read it, here is the article:http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/21/nyregion/police-arrest-artist-takeshi-miyakawa-thinking-tribute-was-fake-bomb.htmlHere is a slightly more sympathetic article on Art Infohttp://artinfo.com/news/story/805277/friends-rally-behind-japanese-sculptor-after-his-guerrilla-art-love-letter-to-nyc-sparks-bomb-panicThe lighting fixtures he was installing was designed to coincide with his commission for Designboom's booth at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York.

Startup Competitions- Miss Congeniality Theoryhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3881057On the circuit of startup competitions, a familiar formula plays itself out. A smattering of entrepreneur teams puts out 2- to 15-minute powerpoint pitches to a small all-star cast of VC's and a large cast of people-paid-to-be-there.At the end of the affair, a winner-takes-all prize is awarded to the best presenter, usually selected by popular vote.What's interesting about this system is that on top of the systemic shortcomings beauty pageants have (Nobody pays close attention, everyone is distracted, the time is too short to get an in-depth understanding of the project or the presenter, there's just way too many to choose between) many of the reviewers have little in the way of technical background to suss out snake oil versus the golden goose, or business background to sense who has a chance of making their whizbang predictions into reality and who couldn't sell booze to a drunk.It's never as simple as "invest in the winner" to a deep-pocketed attendee at one of these events, but it Apr 23, 2012 9:26 PM

My mission to solve the problem with Facebook, Google+ etc.https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3838747Now I know everyone has their own issues with the current state of social networks. Some have issues with privacy, some have issues with too many friends, some have issues with spam. My issue is with all the above, but more importantly I am sick of the fact that I look like everyone else and I don't own the content. I am being controlled and it needs to stop.I am tired of feeling like I live in an apartment complex where I have no control over how things function or look. It's not even like a complex anymore. It's more like a prison.Best quote in a long time..."If you aren't paying for a product, you are the product."Your data is being sold to advertisers so they can find sneaky was to throw their ads in front of your faces.

PSN automatically "roots" your Facebook, no permission granted.https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3691286I have been meaning to link up my modern warfare 3 account with facebook (new feature) so I could see which of my facebook friends play. Today I finally did it and paid very close attention to the permission I was granting to the game. Call of duty asks for permission to access all your basic info, view your photos, and post to your wall. A bit hefty, but I wanted to see who else was playing modern warfare 3 so I agreed. I was logged in, and when I went to my friends list i was informed it found no results so was pretty much pointless. Immediately I checked my account settings on facebook thinking I would just remove access and forget about the whole thing. I was not so shocked to find that call of duty had allowed itself more access than it asked for. I WAS however shocked that there was another app allowed in the last 24 hours called 'Playstation Network' and it had a pagelong list of access permissions all of which were completely open and I had never been asked to allow that.

How I (Accidentally) Brought "Weapons" Aboard Two Aircraft In A Rowhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3244841I am writing in response to this article: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3242864It is just a testament to how some simple social engineering can allow anyone to bring anything onto an aircraft. (Minus explosives perhaps which would probably set off some deafening alert sound or so I would assume.)This is how it went down...I purchased a full manicure kit in Shanghai, China. Lots of sharp, pointed, stainless steel objects in an easily accessible case. A huge no-no on any flight I have ever been on since 911, and I knew it.I would never normally pack that in my carry on, but my loving girlfriend decided to do the honors for me and by accident she must have placed the manicure kit in the carry on.We get to Shanghai airport and immediately upon going through the metal detector, I am asked if there is anything sharp in my bag.I innocently say no, because as far as I knew I didn't. After 5-10 minutes of looking through my carry on. There it was, the manicure set, shit.I don't know why bNov 16, 2011 8:07 PM

Improving accessibility for Google Reader, inspired by readabilityhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2897188I spend way too long in google reader everyday. After about the 100th article my eyes start to hurt from all black text on a white background.So I decided to fix it with a chrome extension.Readerbility (inspired by readability) darkens the background, increases the font size, and uses a more readable font.It's just some small css changes, but if you have the same pains that I do, you can grab it from here and upload it to chrome from the extensions page.Best, Chrishttps://github.com/cmaury/readerbilityAug 17, 2011 10:16 PM
