Don't count on it. Trump will likely put someone very right wing into the position and the attack on encryption will intensify.

This will be struck down by the courts so fast the ink won't even be dry. Your phone is the backbone of your life and contains pretty much all of your private information and allowing police to scoop all of that up without a warrant is

And how do you change that? You release a product like this.

Did you even read the article? Many speed limits are not based on safety, which is the entire point of a speed limit. That's where "artificially low" comes from. 85% of people drive at a safe speed regardless of what the spee

Staying out of the passing lane when not passing someone is actually the law in many states. You must keep right if able.

That's solving the wrong problem. We want to keep the roads safe and fine drivers that drive at an unsafe speed. Since speed limits are not tied to the safe speed in most cases then you are just fining people in a way that does nothing

Your logic while flawed is actually sound if you increase the speed limits to realistic levels and then enforce them at that point. Enforcing the limits when they are artificially low helps no one except for the police.

Spaces was never used by any major groups. It was an experiment and it ended. Using it to fuel the "Google shuts down everything" meme is just silly and makes the memers look silly. Google has never shut down a major product. The

Uber uses Google Maps. You can 100% trust that. Even if Uber changed to their own proprietary map system you could still use your receipt and validate that the trip was the best route by using Google Maps yourself. The system is very open.

This already exists and ironically Uber is leading the charge. https://www.uber.com/ride/ubertaxi/ It's very, very hard to get taxi monopolies onboard with something like this though. That's why Lyft&#x2

>One thing that was awesome about Uber, was that you could go into a city internationally and just use one app (instead of installing new apps every city or multiple apps for one city!) This is still true. Only a few countries/citie

This is Hacker News. I feel like you should at least know that taxi meters are not reliable and the systems that Uber etc use simply are. Using GPS and navigation to ensure fair driving fees is one of the key parts that makes Uber/Lyft

Only the tech elite even know who that person is. Everyone I know loves Uber and we use it everywhere we go, especially when on vacation in other countries as it's easy and reliable with no need to spend an hour researching and setting

This makes me glad I'm not in college anymore. I have an M.S. in Computer Science but even then those questions look very hard and only really relevant to PhDs/Researchers. Maybe I'm just spoiled because software development

You can use any authenticator. Authy is actually probably the best nowadays.

Assuming MS means Microsoft then you are incorrect. You can use Google Authenticator just fine with Microsoft accounts (because I'm doing it.)

What do you mean keep? Once they release this 50mb limit it's pretty much set in stone forever as other email providers will assume gmail users can accept it. If they removed/lowered it then emails would break.

You underestimate the complexity and depth of Windows. There's a TON of forms and code out there and you literally cannot just port that 15-30 year old C code to C# without taking a step back to think about the design and functionality

Did you write this just to be snarky and call it a "telephone"? An iPhone is more complex than the desktop computer you wrote this comment on and you know it.

This is markedly different because most applications written for the first versions of Android still work even on the newest version of the OS. Apple is explicitly breaking 32bit applications from running on the device/OS. Remember we

Executables are just a hex editor away as well. Facebook.com's source is about as helpful as looking at Chrome.exe when learning to code or learn about them in any detailed way.

In what way is Twitch open source? They provide some tools to help you manage uploads and streams, but Twitch is very much closed source.

But why? Programmers right now do everything by hand. In a ML future less of those by hand things will be needed. It seems like less programmers will be needed as a result.
