It is possible to determine, after a nuclear explosion, to determine from whence the weapon was produced. You'd better believe that such a discovery would be an extreme casus belli for an invasion. North Korea isn't interested i

Has anyone tested this clause? Tesla can write whatever they want into a contract; that doesn't mean it'll be held up in the courts.

In the United States, a company cannot necessarily void your warranty for repairing a device yourself. See the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuson%E2%80%93Moss_Warran... Of course, that

This might be the biggest dichotomy I've yet seen on HN. An opinion piece voted all the way to the top of the front page (with a clickbaity title, might I add), yet the top comment soundly debunks the article's arguments. Yeah, th

It has not been discredited. Ultimately it is unknown what would happen since atmospheric testing was banned over half a century ago. However, I find it hard to believe that a thermonuclear war would not produce a very significant amount of

They don't mention how easy or difficult this exploit is to carry out... so I'm betting that it's extremely difficult and will affect practically no one. That's not to say that Intel ME isn't an awful idea, just tha

How ironic, the founder of Telegram - Telegram! - calling into question Signal's crypto. Telegram's crypto is a complete question mark. I wouldn't be surprised if it's backdoored by Russian intelligence.

DRM doesn't work. Every form of DRM has historically been broken in one way or another. There are a couple of current systems that haven't been broken yet but it doesn't matter; content will be available from unauthorized sou

On one hand, this is terrible for freedom in our software; on the other, this isn't the "death of the open Web" that some are proclaiming. The media groups want DRM and they will get it. This doesn't mean that we are goi

Not free anymore. Hulu has the rights now and almost all of the episodes are locked behind their paywall.

Yes, but the author preaching to the choir. The real problem here is educating the public at large as to why it's insecure and in what situations biometrics are unacceptable.

I like to think that fewer try to hack US government services because of the consequences. Attempting to do so would get a black hat chased after by multiple three-letter agencies. I'm sure the FBI is looking into the Equifax breach bu

It appears to me that the trouble with building an exchange isn't the software, but the securities regulations involved in running one. Woe to they who attempt to do so without counsel.

iOS has had a ton of effort put into its audio stack - it was an iPod replacement as well as a phone. Remember when the app was still called iPod? iPod users wouldn't have taken the iPhone as seriously if Apple hadn't put in the w

Signatures are already worthless. No one verifies them anyway. It's just a fancy way of saying "I agree". If you don't believe me, next time you use a credit card with signature, just scribble on the pinpad. No one will

Whole Foods is owned and operated by Amazon. If they were caught selling, for example, counterfeit DVDs, there would be an FBI investigation.

I have at least one good example...at my university there is an Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Sounds pointless on its face, but it's not. It helps students start businesses and obtain patents, for example.

That is an argument, not a source. I have seen no evidence to believe that the Californian government is actively suppressing access to voter data for the purposes of covering up a scandal. If you have some, I'm all ears. (Or eyes, as
