I'm not sure if this counts as spying but in UK they are allowed to monitor people to quite a large extent if I got this right. I think refusing to decrypt your device when requested is also punishable. https://www.theverge.

Aaah.. I see what you mean. Tbh that sounds reasonable as long as it's applied without political pressure and such.

:) I didn't know that. I though most/all countries in the west have an equivalent. In UK we have something like that(can't remember the name of it though). The courts can forbid all parties involved to have any public discuss

You can't(as a single company/entity) find a work around something like this. Proton had a court order from the country they operate from. You can fight court orders but you can't usually disclose them(gag orders and all). Th

Off topic: For some reason, when I read "pip install" my mind drifted off to "apt-get install kung fu" and I started grinning like an idiot.

Not sure how to describe it but I see it like more of a approach and limitations or tech problem. 1- can't study it,in details, live with 0 risk of damage 2- can't test injecting data without risk of damage 3- the live data that w

"deceit, falsehood or other fraudulent means" => editing the URL is neither of those. Forgig a cookie for access is, just like randomly trying passwords and usernames. The closest real life example I can think of would be along

The only problem I noticed a few times on hn is that some comments go dead even if they are right on the money. Edgy or not is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things if the content of the comment is correct. I didn't end up down the

In a world where cash is starting to dissapear, payment processors and banking in general should be regulated and treated just like some sort of utility company (Ex: Water, electricity). Advertising is a different beast altogether. Being ab

Wouldn't a % taxation at source be more effective in retaining money inside the borders? Tbh some people here do have a decent point. A private individual can't deduct rent and such. One could argue those are neede to keep working

That is exactly how it works even with the extension. By building what ammounts to a GUI to a glorified database you are deciding on the interaction level with the database. The fact that the extensions helps automate some tasks if a differ

Dude. I'm not debating if it's good or or bad. I personally had the vaccine because I have high blood pressure and I'm borderline diabetic at 40+. I made my call and took my chances. Others should have the right to make their

I might be wrong but maybe the point is that it's not proven safe long term. While a good majority(like me) had it and it worked out well for us (risk vs reward wise), some might not be so lucky and it pissed me off that some people ar

You can have IoT devices with LAN only. IoT doesn't mean that it needs to understand DNS and access WAN. For that you can have IoT gateways with proper security in place. The problem with "part of the device lifecycle" is pla

I would consider IOT trash any IOT device that demands/requires an internet connection to be functional. The same would apply to any smartphone that requires a sim on first start (or after factory reset). Embedded devices should not e
