I'm noticing very high latencies accessing my sites. Nonproxied they work fine. Also, friends in the MENA region says the sites are fast.
AI wrote a bash script to compare accessing a site directly (via ip) vs proxied https://gist.github.com/mustafa0x/f11eb7f694a1798af89818888f...

- The app was accepted to the app store without issues
- I'm allowed to upload the app under another id and name, but changing both with be a pain, especially the name
- Also, if they flag another app, the whole account gets banned
- It seems like there are lots of complains about this new policy: https://old.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/1ck1wyp/did_goo...
- Big tech really needs an ombudsman

> Programming is much closer to a craft than a science or engineering discipline. It's a combination of skill and experience expressed through tools
You seem be implying that the latter statement doesn't apply to the disciplines of science and engineering. "skill and experience expressed through tools" is highly important in both watchmaking and bridge building. I would advise anyone who says elsewise to reconsider.
I understand your point, but why create a hugely false dichotomy between a craft discipline and the science and engineering disciplines?

I strongly concur with points 2 and 6.

You seem to be saying that who you're around isn't of great importance. If so, I believe you should reconsider. If not, please clarify.

You seem to be using destroy and open warfare synonymously. The Art of War is about one of these, not the other:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/destroy
de·stroy (d-stroi)
v. de·stroyed, de·stroy·ing, de·stroys
v.tr.
1. To ruin completely; spoil: The ancient manuscripts were destroyed by fire.
2. To tear down or break up; demolish. See Synonyms at ruin.
3. To do away with; put an end to: "In crowded populations, poverty destroys the possibility of cleanliness" (George Bernard Shaw).
4. To kill: destroy a rabid dog.
5. To subdue or defeat completely; crush: The rebel forces were destroyed in battle.

It was the point drcode was making (which FuzzyDunlop misunderstood):
> The only real danger is for bozos who use the same password for HN as they do for their citibank account

Excuse my pedantry, but I'd advise against saying "That isn't the point.", for it conflicts with a well known writing technique: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Show,_don%27t_tell
If you insist on doing so, consider a more polite alternative. E.g. "it's seems you've missed the point", "perhaps you've misunderstood", "I feel that so-and-so was saying something else".

Users who have the same password for HN and their bank are indeed bozos.

We are certain of one, not the other.

Someone found it interesting?

Failing to inform can be as deceptive as misinforming.

Deception. More verbosely, you allowed the user to assume something, yet contradicted this assumption. Somewhat similar when a woman strings a man along, then requests payment.
I like clack/prompts. See its multiselect API.
