Especially in the case of contempt of court. The whole reason why you'd hold someone in contempt is if they are willfully not doing what the court says. The SEC is telling the court "Look, he's literally here talking about ho

I mean metaphorically sure, but in this case it's literally using the exact same system; it's just the clients are changed to look like a chat app instead of an email app. This is more like if two people were sending telegraphs ov

I mean, the whole point of that issue was that the FBI wanted Apple to develop tools that would make it a lot easier for the FBI to do it later if they wanted to. It probably cost them a lot of money/time to do it the way they did. Plu

TL;DR: "[Coding perfectly and anticipating any possible change to how the tools work] are not reasonable expectations of a human being. We need languages with guard rails to protect against these kinds of errors." I definitely agr

It wouldn't take more space. That decision was made for the same reason as the decisions to make as much hardware locked down as possible - So you have to pay Apple more to replace them.

He caused the SEC investigation that probably impacted them enough to miss the targets mentioned in the article. He also has a DOJ investigation in progress against him and Tesla. He is a liability.

That basically comes down to whether RISC-V's current partners decide to jump ship for something more well-known.

The reason why it's hard to become a bank in the US is because there are regulations in place to keep companies from screwing over customers for their own gain or in their own stupidity. In this case, Robinhood didn't look into wh

Hopefully the author here is right in that the SEC will continue to step in and say "No, you can't just call it something else. What you're providing is a bank account." If Robinhood manages to get away with saying &quot

To be fair, they only got negative attention among the people who wouldn't have used Robinhood anyway. Their business model is going after people who don't know better.

It seems to be one of two options, IMO: 1. They are doing everything like this (i.e. with not enough legal analysis), and have only just now happened to do something illegal. This would make sense if the top-level people at Robinhood were t

I mean, if you consider the adblocking, tracker blocking, etc, then it's faster than Chrome, and may have been even before the switch (citation needed on that though). That stuff takes a long time to load, even on Chromium. So the idea

Now that I think about it, yeah, I think Microsoft is probably gonna land in some big trouble with GDPR because of this. There's not really a way out of it because of how little control they give the user. I think it's just going

The solution shouldn't be "make all the apps work around Microsoft being anti-consumer". It should be "Make Microsoft stop being anti-consumer".

It's the same reason why everyone wants everyone else to fix climate change: The negative effects from supporting China won't affect the people who actually make the decision to support China.

Eh, they're actually going for both millenials and younger. A lot of their advertising is in YouTube ads and YouTube podcasts, which is definitely aimed at a younger audience than millenials.

by Derek_MK 8y ago
Yeah, the younger crowd doesn't trade, not because "the maaaan" is keeping them from it, but because it's a very complicated way of making money, and they typically don't want to learn how to do it right. What this

The use of the word "trick" here is well-warranted. This is really more of a UI thing (i.e. it's a little too easy for a user to accidentally click "Ok"). Applications have responded to concerns like this by just ha

I feel like the arguments given here are kind of weak for not implementing HTTPS. Plus, fingerprinting and such can be cirumvented pretty easily by adding padding data to the payload of a random length. That said, I don't think it matt

Solid piece, I'd give it a B+. We'll see if there's any improvement at our next review.

This isn't advertising. The article talks about a specific action, which is paying someone to buy cheap things from you, so you can tell investors that you have a lot of sales.
