on: Every .gov Domain
This is far from an exhaustive list of the .gov domain. Perhaps it is only the ones managed at the Top level. For instance, Texas.gov is listed here, but none of the subdomains are. For example gov.texas.gov, house.texas.gov, senate.texas.gov, comptroller.texas.gov, etc...

on: Would I Have Been Drafted for Vietnam
I think there were several different draft orders depending on years. I assume this is only using the first lottery, which only applies to people born through 1950. There were additional ones.

on: Patch Critical Cryptographic Vulnerability in Microsoft Windows [pdf]
What about user certs. Some windows systems allow for authenticating with a user cert. depending on how bad the validation bug is, seems like spoofing a user certificate could be a valid attack vector.

I don’t think this is ultimately the vulnerability, but even without SNI, it’s arbitrary to dynamically link to a file, script, png, etc... hosted on a sub domain with the bad cert.

on: Ask HN: Managing and backing up Macs on a Windows network
You should be able to redirect there mac user folder as well (obviously not with group policy), but it depends on how your mac users are setup. Do you create local user ids for them, are are you joined to an AD domain?

on: Ask HN: A memory efficient and concurrent redis – are you interested?
I'm currently using redis in a pair of applications, one of which also uses pub/sub. I have many other applications which would benefit from the caching layer that redis provides, and since they currently have none there really isn't an obstacle to testing another solution.

Does it include pub/sub?

on: How we fought bad ads, sites and scammers in 2016
This is an interesting humble brag from google, considering there have been several (at least 3) posts to hacker news this year concerning scam ads on some rather high profile search results (youtube.com, bestbuy.com, and amazon.com).
In the case of the youtube and amazon ads, they both had youtube.com and amazon.com in their green text, yet the ads went to completely different domains. It doesn't seem like it would require any high tech algorithm to prevent these types of bad actors, as verifying the textual link is the same as the actual link is pretty simple.

on: The top ad when you Google 'amazon' is a scam
Yeah, the ads for windows support show up, however they all actually link to where the add says they do. In the case of the youtube and amazon ones today, the add link showed amazon.com and youtube.com respectively, but didn't go to either.

on: The top ad when you Google 'amazon' is a scam
I agree with your take. This should absolutely be taken more seriously. At the very least this site is a scam site, and it seems possible that it is even more nefarious. Google ads are supposed to be very credible, unlike the Wild West of some ad networks.

I'd add, the page source has some Cyrillic script in it, and it also has some embedded base64 encoded media, one of which doesn't appear to decode into anything properly. Maybe they are trying some undisclosed exploit?

There was post early today (
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13463263) where the same issue was happening, but the search was for youtube. The hoax site looked just like you are describing. Interestingly, I am no longer seeing any ads on my google searches.

on: How iOS 10 engulfed a corporate wifi network
I rarely see it discussed in articles like this, but Apple OS X Server has a cache service that is relatively simple to setup. It provides a local network cache for OS X and iOS downloads (also app store). It wouldn't lessen the local congestion, but it mitigates the upgrade-ageddon effect on your external bandwidth.

This is the sixth time this article was posted. It also is somewhat biased, not that anyone wants to have an intellectual conversation about gun control.

on: Ask HN: What technology to use for a small business with web and mobile clients
Whatever stack you are already familiar with.
For a more in-depth answer you might need to provide more details. For example, are the mobile clients requiring native application functionality, or is a mobile (or responsive) web app good enough. If they require native functionality, are they on a particular platform, or is it a mix.
