> Haven't you heard? It's cool to dislike things "because AI". There's no explicit rules against it, but I cannot stand this type of sarcastic im anti-everyone-else commentary. Super reddit-coded, and you could have made your point without it. There's a lot of discussion to have about that point actually, but I'm pretty sure we've all been collectively scrolling long enough to just kind of roll our eyes at this stuff…

Look out: It's forbidden to compare HN to Reddit!

Yes that's the normal way of doing things? Why would someone buy a business with no user base?

Great question, however the important point here is that the company makes the claim they will not sell user data. "Period." So the company implies that if they are sold they will be sold with no user data

"Visit TrumpRx.gov" Holy crap, the grift never ends! Is he even allowed to do that, use a .gov address to peddle dodgy meds?

Hatch Act won't be enforced until the next administration and next DOJ.

How did that last administration's dwelling on persecuting the one before it turn out?

While I don't like the current one and certainly agree that some of its actions are totally unethical, once it's over can we just move on and look forward, not back?

It's a pretty huge list. https://support.apple.com/en-us/126047 The chances of zero of these CAs having been compromised by state-level actors seems… slim. Do you trust "Hongkong Post Root CA 3" not to fuck with things? Your link's from 2011; the US government was still in the trusted list until 2018. https://www.idmanagement.gov/implement/announcements/04_appl...

All modern browsers require certificates to be published in the certificate transparency logs in order to be considered valid. These are monitored, things do get noticed[0], and things like this can and have lead to CAs being distrusted. It's not foolproof, and it's reactive rather than proactive... but in general, this is unlikely to be happening on major sites or at any significant scale. I'd wholeheartedly recomme…
