Here’s a funny thought in terms of performance: don’t get attached to apps. I recently compared mail apps on mac. I’ve ran Thunderbird, Apple Mail and Outlook, and surprisingly the first two were really inadequate with large inboxes (gigabytes, 50K+ messages). Outlook crunches them without a problem. Oh and Thunderbird just hangs up when you try to use unified inbox with large accounts - you can’t even start it after the crash, you need to remove the data files in the Finder. (The same happens on Linux…) PS. Having a gmail tab opened for 8 days is thrilling. Also, it may be a good idea to remove yourself from Google services ;)

This story is totally a viral marketing stunt and probably has nothing to do with “AI” except an algo that finds an exit from a maze. But hey, maybe it lands them some business.

This, together with recent massive pishing through a google docs app really shows that clever social engineering is as effective as it was in the Mitnick-era. No need to be a prodigy programmer, just connect the dots ;)

I think Let’s Encrypt is an awesome service, and providing certs for free is really great for admins, but… I can imagine a scenario where, after LE grows substantially and for example, renews 100,000+ certs per day, a serious havoc spreads through the web when their renewal service goes offline for a good portion of a day, and the 100K+ websites use expired certs. What will their millions of visitors do? Add exceptions? Browse elsewhere? I have no good solution in mind. Maybe it’s just the hidden cost of LE. Not that using other cert authorities is any better (it’s worse).

Aside from the clickbait title, the article is nice. Microsoft’s decision is correct. Looking at how restricted iOS compares to loose Android, I can see the point. It makes sense to give regular users a restricted Win S that maybe finally will put an end to the malware infested debacle called Windows. And for the savvy ones, Win Pro is a click away.

At least WikiNews could be an additional source.

In general, you only provide links with the headlines as text. That should be fine for all the other sources as well.

The general idea seems to be like Google News, but without the tracking and the Google and images. I like that and I made a similar site in german.

Comments:

• Cool idea.
• Thank you for not loading a bunch of unrelated crap and for respecting our privacy. :)
• You don’t show the backend code anywhere on your Github it seems. Like, the Perl scripts you use to munge data don’t seem to be in your public repos.
• You posted a project here without previously engaging in our community and without showing the code that makes it work (as opposed to the markup that code generates), and your Twitter is mostly just reposts of reposts. So, please stay around a while and do more than just drive-by your project! Comment on other stuff too. :)
