The USA has a route to being wealthy, but with 2 caveats - for those in the know, and at the expense of others. This wider world, into which every person and thus potential millionaire is born, is, alas, not a level playing field. This is w

"...To change that, change where the money goes..." Creative work is currently having its sources of income decimated, from all sides. We should get used to reminiscing.

Never ceases to amaze me how one can be 'into' a subject and miss huge 'in plain sight' news. When I lived in London I stopped buying TimeOut to find out whatson, and instead simply paid closer attention to Tube posters.

Thanks. The part I don't understand is this, why upload your private collection to a stranger? Something as fairly straightforward as music sync and streaming can be done with common open source software. And streaming demands an inter

Yes, as you rightly point out, and although I applaud this from Apple, it is carefully worded. But we knew that. It's for Joe Public.

It's a good pdf by Apple. And clearly aimed at Joe Public. Getting Joe Public to understand some of the damage being done via data mining is not easy. Policing abuse of that knowledge through unenforced laws, business ethics, or guidel

Good points. You're right inasmuch that leaks are not agnostic. They can happen unwillingly or willingly, and whom they help or hurt is going to depend on the weighing up of the overall damage/reward.

Ask HN: Do leaks render privacy policies worthless?

Serious question - Puzzled as to why this is attractive to anyone (except Relar). Can I get a real world example?

This shut down story is another tale in the impending international regulation, and maybe breaking up, of what is comically called 'big tech' ('big' does not begin to describe the sizes involved, the naivety is staggerin

What is the difference between giving Tastemaker™ total access to a users playlists from which to find similar music to recommend, and instead letting Spotify recommend?

Does it mention creating bit perfect mix tape clones and redistributing to unlimited others? Some info here... http://jolt.law.harvard.edu/articles/pdf/v07/07HarvJLTech377...

No, not 'never use DRM' objects; sometimes we do. Many developers are youngsters, from disadvantaged backgrounds, poorer countries, barely scraping an existence from their non-privileged zone of society. After exerting all their e

I think you may already realise the royalties answer, but want to poke HN readers. That's fine, by me, but I think you also are aware that the majority of software developers here don't like digital locks on creative work so write

Unless decentralized networks are vigorously policed by users and nodes alike, for, what has been called here, stuff with an unacceptably high ick factor (child porn and worse), then it will continue be a magnet for such material. And if it

Not necessarily. It's going to depend on your age, skin color and skin condition as to whether a pill beats sun. But generally being outdoors, on a grey winters day in the northern hemisphere, with just your face exposed, and having da

The article is good investigating. Not only is watermarking not that effective it can more easily be retro performed on anything; when such incriminating evidence is required. And we are in the digital domain, and all digital can be faked

I think I made my point badly because I also agree. I am lamenting that teenagers were, in this day and age, surprised at what can be done with Photoshop. And that let loose on the appropriate software were surprised at what can be altered

Diverse? No, it is not. And not being diverse does not make it a bad 'list'.

Better? No. Any 'best of' list is at most a bit of fun when taken with a pinch of salt, however the method obtained. The boast or claim to be "The Greatest Books of All Time" lacks honesty or displays vast ignorance. The

Interesting idea. Unfortunately, and maybe it is my loss, but any link (on any topic) using wordings such as "Greatest" and "of all time" I always cautiously read comments first before clicking. I already feel the head

So, obvious question, how then does iCloud keychain (still) work? I mean, is everything iCloud compromised, all the time, everywhere? That kinda flattens Apples privacy claims.
