Not trying to start a flame war. I am finally switching away from my trusty Nokia Lumia 920 because the browser wouldn't load m.uber.com and WhatsApp says app will be gone at the end of the year. I like the snappiness of Windows Phone and iPhone UI. Haven't checked Android phones recently but years ago the UI was laggy and no one except I seem to notice. Also know that sideloading apps, blocking ads in apps etc. is much easier on Android so I am hard pressed to decide between the two.

New top story on Hacker News: Social media strike proposed for July 4-5 by Wikipedia co-founder
Social media strike proposed for July 4-5 by Wikipedia co-founder
12 by lsanger | 4 comments on Hacker News.
"Humanity has been contemptuously used by vast digital empires," says my new "Declaration of Digital Independence" (https://ift.tt/2xklq1V), which you can sign. So I'm calling a massive social media strike (https://ift.tt/2LumTuM) for July 4-5 to raise awareness of the possibility of decentralizing social media, which in my experience is wildly popular whenever proposed. Read the FAQ (https://ift.tt/2XBUFoj) and use some collected resources (https://ift.tt/300KV4v) to learn and spread the word far and wide. Look for lots of news about this soon. And get ready! Maybe we can make a long-held geek dream finally come true.

If we were to design a brand new internet for today's world, can we develop it such a way that: 1- Finding information is trivial 2- You don't need services indexing billions of pages to find any relevant document In our current internet, we need a big brother like Google or Bing to effectively find any relevant information in exchange for sharing with them our search history, browsing habits etc. Can we design a hypothetical alternate internet where search engines are not required?

Some people know about SBIRs (small business innovative research grants), through which federal government gives away more than $1B of R&D funding to small businesses. There are many more opportunities open for small businesses. For example, AirForce recently opened a $100M solicitation looking for machine learning technologies. I know government grant process can be very cumbersome but so is trying to raise VC money (especially outside of SV). And government money is non-dilutive. I am noticing more startups (e.g. Palantir, Anduril) starting off of government opportunities, but they seem very rare. Why isn't gov funding a more common way of starting a startup? Is it mostly because people don't know about these and/or don't know how to navigate the process?

Several years ago I bought a used copy of the original x86 manual and wrote a proof-of-concept OS. I’m interested in getting back into it, but with more of a focus on HPC and utilizing the more advanced features of modern architectures. Where should I start? Even back when I wrote my toy OS, the contemporary Intel manual was 10x the size of the original that I worked with. Does anyone even work with assembly anymore? (If not, how is software keeping up with hardware advances? Do newer low-level languages like Rust and Go really utilize the massive advances that have taken place?) My history: I’m a devops guy with about four years of experience in IT and about a year of experience writing Python at a professional level. My degree is in general mathematics, though I did best in the prob/stat courses (and enjoyed them more than the others). Side note: I wonder if I “33 bits”’d myself above...

We are big fans of Netlify [1] (it powers our website and blog!) and we wanted to scratch our own itch to comply with GDPR, as well as various upcoming data security regulations [3]. So we, Very Good Security [2], just released an add-on that lets you securely collect sensitive data (e.g. payments, PII, SSNs, identification, etc.) via web forms on Netlify. With the new add-on, Netlify customers are shielded from data liability, breach risk and the compliance issues that come with holding sensitive data. So you can inherit PCI compliance from VGS (a level 1 service provider) and can fast-track other compliances like SOC2, HIPAA, etc. You can read more about our add-on for Netlify on VGS’ blog: http://bit.ly/2WO1gvJ... . and on Netlify’s blog: http://bit.ly/2QUCNiV... . Watch a quick video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtYzLdpSeJo Try it out and let us know what you think! We’d love your feedback.

Ask HN: Do you trust/install Docker in your personal computer?
5 by coffekaesque | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I'm no longer using a separate computer from my employer and containers' security always worried me. Using VMs is very cumbersome in my opinion. I haven't used Docker in years, do you think it's safe enough now to install in your main computer (Linux host)? It's not like I'm going to test malware inside the containers but there's a lot of 3rd-party dependencies living there. If you do trust Docker, what precautions would you take? Running without root is viable? I'm aware of https://github.com/docker/docker-bench-security
