Happy New Year HN! What are your plans for the new year?
54 by MasterYoda | 43 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

How can I learn to work with clients well?
9 by tsvallender | 7 comments on Hacker News.
I am currently job hunting to begin a second career as a software developer (I currently work in the care industry but studied computer science at university years ago and have coded on the side since). I am confident in my technical ability but not at all with my ability to deal directly with clients, and some of the jobs I am applying for involve this. What resources are out there to improve my knowledge of working with clients well and effectively? Books, podcasts, videos, anything would be great!

Ask HN: Intercepting HTTPS – How can we trust anything at all?
31 by wg0 | 29 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
