Show HN: Bananalert (opens in new tab)

I've started buying them when they're very hard (Costco sells them by the bag) and then waiting for them to ripen at home. This keeps them from getting bruised by other shoppers. So far, I've had good luck with them being ripe and good for about 3 days.

I visited an orchard a couple of years ago. The owner stored his pears at 0 degrees celsius and apples a little bit warmer - 4 degrees celcius if I'm not mistaken.

Since that day I've put my apples and pears in the refridgerator, and haven't had to suffer as many overripe pears and apples.

Thanks. Now I have that song stuck in my head. I didn't even need to hear it -- the visuals were enough of a trigger.

In the real world, it's common to see network professionals who apparently specialize in preventing communications between computers. Similarly, it's common to see DBA's whose number one goal seems to be preventing anyone from accessing the data. And it's also common to find engineers who seem focused on seeing every goal as impossible, and business analysts who when they hear what you want tell you why you can't have it. It's not rational but it's very common!

If you're studying security and you think TOR will work to get you past corporate firewalls... good luck out there. Keep studying.

I humbly submit you haven't seen an environment that was high security.

There's two general ways to treat Internet traffic, whitelisting and blacklisting. Many companies will simply use blacklists. These are easy to bypass as you are well aware. I have seen more than one environment that was whitelist based, no machine can access any other machine that isn't required for it to do it's job. Anyone needing to override a block enters a username, password, and reason, if they have the authority to do so, which leaves an audit trail.

Security and convenience is often a trade off, you do a risk assessment to determine if it's worth the risk to you and your company. For many people and companies, it's not, so they blacklist.

The IP address makes it funnier for some reason.

Do you mean analytics or do you mean Analytics®?

Edit: You mean Analytics ... so here's yet another site where $SomeBigCorp tracks what I do :/

You can always tune this by gradient walking to the minimum of HN complaints.

You don't say? ;-)
