A bank account you can programme in Javascript. What could possibly go wrong?

You must be new here! If [like I do], you browse HN by the "new" section, you'll see this time after time after time after time... I don't know what's to be done about it. HN don't…

Could you not find a better source than the Daily Fail? It has less credibility than a child's comic.

You lost me at reason no.1

I know some people's online comments are pretty toxic, but I'm struggling to think of a scenario whereby a Twitter stream or Facebook timeline could be used to make a 'dirty bomb' …

There's also a delicious irony in the fact the border agents would no doubt claim not to be stealing your data, but merely making a copy of it --while at the same time the US is ex…
