Seems like the discovery of this vuln was a direct result of yesterday's discussion about HTTPS on apt here on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18958679).
No. That would mean less then a day heads-up from the researcher.

Warsaw, with parts of family near Ciechanów and near Piła.
No, not everybody had a tractor - that would be ineffective, given how many small family-owned farms there were. But they did use tractors and combine harvesters. TBH I don't know whether they were shared between neighbors or just unofficially borrowed(#) for a bottle of vodka from the state farms (PGR).
(#)There's this Polish verb "załatwić" which I cannot properly translate to English. It means obtaining products or services using ones connections, cunning and possibly transfer of a usual token of appreciation as in "załatwić za flachę" (obtain something in exchange for a bottle of vodka).
you grew up in the country's capital, and had family in the north-west, no wonder you have no idea how life really was
No they don't. Source: growing up in said country during that era. There weren't that many horses then, even in the countryside.
And they did have tractors. Plowing with a horse was a curiosity even in the eighties.
i grew up in Poland too, east, and south-east looked like like this, or worse. where did you grow up? not everybody had a tractor, still had plenty of horses around, doesn't mean everybody used them, that'd be ridiculous
While I am certainly not a communist, there's little of communisty things in the pictures. It's rather an underdeveloped world and over 30 years ago.
are you being serious? you see pictures of a country that's been under communist rule since the 40s and you see no connection? it's just an underdeveloped country to you?

Note to self: If I get rejected from a lot of companies, just apply to Twitter. They'll surely say yes.
Addendum: there should be a companion site "Even twitter rejected me!"
It does look like Twitter is for rejects if you only read the top entries.

> It's just the result of the current political climate.
It has nothing to do with the "political climate". It has everything to do with the fact most people don't want to listen nut-jobs all day. In fact, in a free market it would appear people seem to prefer platforms that banish the nut jobs.
it has everything to do with the current political climate, and the fact that extremist views on one side are tolerated, while ones on the other are actively being fought against
if you don't want to listen to "nut jobs", you don't have to, nobody's shoving Alex Jones in your face, but banning people you find objectionable sets up a dangerous precedent

i don't understand why anybody, especially a person with technical knowledge, would purchase and install a device that constantly listens to its surroundings and uploads conversations to the internet
it's scary what a third party can do through your smartphone, let alone all the IoT garbage connected to an Echo
