HN: == Happy New Year HN == (What is your “plans” for the new year?)
22 by MasterYoda | 9 comments on Hacker News.
Happy New Year HN First: Thanks for all great submissions and for all high quality and interesting comments from all you users here on HN. Second: Do you have any plans for the new year, new skills to learn, excited over any new project, looking forward to something, should you do anything different this year, etc? Personally I never had any "new year promises", neither this year, but I have at least a "goal/plan" this year, to do something different; Consume less, create/learn more. It is so easy just surf the web consuming stuff because you are bored, that in the end gives you nothing/little in the end. This year I will try to use more of my time to try to learn stuff that interest me or can be useful. I probably will fail miserably, but at least its a plan :) And now I have said it, on the internet, so best I stick to it :) Once again Happy New Year

Ask HN: Intercepting HTTPS – How can we trust anything at all?
29 by wg0 | 27 comments on Hacker News.
The proxies like Squid can do HTTPS intercepting so I was wondering what's the point of TLS anyway? What if a nation state is determined to intercept all traffic of its internet users or even a major ISP - can't they get a trusted CA colluding with them in such a way that they can generate certificates on the fly and hence replacing the SSL certificate of every website that's get visited, decrypt and encrypt back? Cryptographically speaking, that's possible? Wouldn't it be possible for certain states hostile to their citizens to pay off some trusted CA to get a wide open arrangement of that sorts? Now someone thinking they're talking to gmail could be first talking to a data collection island in the middle? Similarly, other vectors of attack are the IP routing and DNS. I do not understand the Noise protocol but couldn't an ISP or a government pretend to be man in the middle, between let us say a Signal user and its servers? EDIT: Added IP and DNS aspects plus typos

Ask HN: How can a non-techie mom regain access to her FB account?
114 by lsjfd | 77 comments on Hacker News.
I’m a mom of two young daughters and I have used my Facebook account mostly for work, and to communicate with my family, some of whom are now deceased. I have never pushed or broken Facebook’s rules or uploaded obscene images. On Monday my account was suspended because someone broke into my account and uploaded prohibited images and then also used my associated bank card to make a fraudulent purchase of £200. I had 2FA enabled so I have no idea how someone managed to access my account. I am not a techie. My bank has refunded the £200. Facebook won’t even tell me what I am supposed to have done nor will they unsuspend my account. The most I have got is that 27 of my posts go against the community standards on nudity or sexual activity - which is nonsense because I am just a mom using FB to connect with family and friends. I am not a porn star and I don’t upload such images. I am so upset because I have so many memories on the account with my Grandma and Grandad (both deceased), photos and videos of my two young daughters growing up, as well as many others. I sent my ID to FB and have not heard anything more. I feel scared that I have sent my ID to someone that has somehow hacked my account, used my bank card, and now knows more about me than before. I feel violated because of this and now Facebook won’t even listen to me. I am sure that a human at Facebook would be able to look and see that I didn’t do this. If they checked the IP addresses used if they just used common sense to see what has happened. Please, I am desperate, does anyone have any advice on what I can do next?

Since it's hard to find such a person, who understands CS/Math/can program machines but never used "normal" programming languages I do wonder how it'd be designed, maybe current approach sucks? OOP is beautiful itself, it *enables normal people* to model complex systems that'll be running on computers, but can we get even better?

I'm getting on (I'm nearly 50) - not a software dev (thank god) but more a project manager. I do a lot of the "knitting together" type work between developers, UX people, designers, content owners, etc. Until recently, we used to do things like write cheatsheets and other help docs for our clients for tools like Google Analytics. This was all fine, and they were appreciated, as clients just don't know how to use these tools. But recently, the rate of change has just made this untenable. I'd log into a tool like GA and the whole thing would be different. Not just the upgrade to 4, but then incremental changes there, too. So cheatsheets, training workshops, anything around support - just becomes untenable. Another example: I log into Teamwork (my project management tool of choice) - and they're "retiring" the plan I've been on (and very happy with) for years. Instead I have to choose "Growth" and now my dashboard is littered with a whole bunch of stuff I neither want or need. Nothing is where I'm used to it being. And: we do a bunch of work with Wordpress. The rate of change here is insane, too - every single update brings new features, none of which is documented, bedded in or understood. None of which can be written about, supported or workshopped. And: Trello. It was fine. And then Atlassian bought it and it became this horrific behemoth of "features", all of which just clutter everything up, none of which seems to actually do anything useful. And on, and on. Is this rate of change supportable? Am I just too old? Help me put this in context, HN!

YouTube suspended my account for posting DeFi hackathon video

I knew Google's automated processes were pretty bad from earlier stories here, but today I got hit by it myself. I participated in the totally legit EthGlobal "Hack Money" hackathon (https://ift.tt/3c6VSHN) earlier this year and one of required submissions of that event was a video describing your work. I made one and uploaded it to Youtube. The hackathon went great and we won some prizes but that's not relevant to this story. Yesterday evening I received an email from Youtube that they've removed my channel because "Spam, scams or commercially deceptive content are not allowed on YouTube.". I thought this certainly must be an error so I used the attached appeal link and got a response within less than 15 minutes that they appeal has been rejected and that no further replies will be processed. I am a paid Youtube Music subscriber and I can't login to even listen to my own music anymore. Amazing. I would like to think that Google's AI systems are smarter than just videoTitle.contains("hack") && videoTitle.contains("money"), but apparently not. If anybody has connections who can help get me unsuspended that would be highly appreciated.

Yesterday evening I received an email from Youtube that they've removed my channel because "Spam, scams or commercially deceptive content are not allowed on YouTube.". I thought this certainly must be an error so I used the attached appeal link and got a response within less than 15 minutes that they appeal has been rejected and that no further replies will be processed. I am a paid Youtube Music subscriber and I can't login to even listen to my own music anymore. Amazing. I would like to think that Google's AI systems are smarter than just videoTitle.contains("hack") && videoTitle.contains("money"), but apparently not. If anybody has connections who can help get me unsuspended that would be highly appreciated. The google cache of my channel is still available here: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:gcYJ--i6UYgJ:https://www.youtube.com/c/MathijsVogelzang+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=nl

Ask HN: What is the best book on data visualization in 2021?
19 by zwaps | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I am looking for a comprehensive resource on data visualization. There are many individual resources that have been posted over the years (such as in blog posts). However, as a non-expert I am not sure which advice is good to follow (e.g., many blogs are published by companies trying to sell me a particular product or package). Not sure if the book is the ideal format for this, but it seems to have the highest chance of being competent, unbiased and comprehensive. For the latter point, I think important topics are - Colors and accessibility - Concrete examples of color schemes - Pros and Cons of different visualizations vis-à-vis data - Print versus digital - Fonts and layout considerations - Perhaps short insights into the research on these points But perhaps there are other things not on my radar that are current or interesting?
