Why does anyone want cold food delivered by a rando? I never understood to value proposition because I never got the value proposition of delivered food, outside of coldcut sandwiches and pizzas, especially once you stop being 18 living in a dorm. To each his own, I guess.

This is a hard pass for me. I deleted my Facebook 5 years ago and will never come back. They're a trash company with a trash product.

The moral of the story is there's no such thing as plug and play opsec. It requires thought, patience and domain knowledge. You can't outsource it because that contractor becomes your immediate and obvious weak link and will be compromised. Whether it's El Chapo's IT guys or fools who thought a cell phone company would keep them out of prison, this story just repeats itself.
DuckDuckGo staff here. As mentioned in the linked page, the purpose of the request is to retrieve a website's favicon so that it can be displayed in certain places within the app or on the results page. We use an internal favicon service because it can be complicated to locate a favicon for a website. They can be stored in a variety of locations and in a variety of formats. The service understands these edge cases and simplifies retrieval within our apps and our search engine.
Like our search results, the favicon service adheres to our strict privacy policy[1] in that the requests are anonymous and we do not collect or share any personal information.
The reviews are in for this response and they are bad. It's concerning that given the react it got, there's no edit addressing the concerns. The HN audience has to be the power user, bread and butter of a product like this and when you see a company ignore the concerns of a key constituency like this, their future almost never looks bright.
Letting the enemy set the terms of and frame the debate so we're starting on the low ground seems to be par for the course for folks on the left end of the spectrum. Pick your issue: climate change, policing, war on terror, lgbt rights, socialized medicine, on and on. You start to wonder if "our side" is throwing the game.
Check out vivaldi. Edge will have various phone home random messages to Microsoft to let them know what you're doing.
Interesting. Ill have to update pihole to put a stop to that
I use Brave because it's a "degoogled" Chrome. Having good blocking built in is a plus. Being able to use Chrome extensions is also a plus.
I've tried Firefox many times over the years, and only recently has it gotten to a point where it's fast and nice enough on macOS. There are still corners of the app I dislike (it doesn't always feel like a native app, for example), but this may be a reason to finally switch.
Same here but edge is offering the same on desktop so im switching. For mobile, brave is my daily driver.

The Atlantic and Jeffrey Goldberg (now the editor-in-chief) laid the ideological groundwork for the US to invade Iraq, one of - if not the biggest crimes of the 21st century. [1] The Atlantic sold the Iraq War with reporting that relied heavily on war hawks, neocons in the Bush administration, and at times complete fabrications. It it is hard to shed a tear for an organization which helped create a conflict resulting in the deaths of 1.2 million Iraqis.

Interesting, thanks. I guess that explains David Frum being a contributor.
Why do Robinhood, Reddit, Discord, etc feel like they have to respond to this? Whether the investments being made are responsible or not, it doesn't seem like it should be their place to intervene.
If the hedge funds over-shorted GME and WSB recognized that and traded against that bad analysis, then that's great! If the pendulum swung the other direction and WSB is trading into some momentum, how is that any different than the hedge funds doing the same with shorts? Why should Robinhood pick a winner (siding against their own customers)?
