Could you quote the sentence you're referring to?

The article assumes you know the topology of the secret. This is a completely unrealistic assumption for TOTP. There's nothing in the article that makes it an actual realistic attack. Also nothing that makes it usable against Google au

I didn't say anything about gifts, sorry for any confusion. Please feel free to send gifts! By the way, I also happily accept gifts myself :)

Generally, every American who makes less money than they deserve, has two choices: (1) Find a way to make more money. (2) Appeal to the sense of fairness to get sympathy from the community. Sadly, according to US federal law (4 U.S.C. §§ 88

Hmm that is beyond understanding. I thought they wanted to make it look like a demonstration of power to all would-be critics. If they wanted to make it look like they weren't involved, aren't there much less risky ways to assassi

According to that article, MBS "[...] was really shocked that there was such a big reaction to it. He feels betrayed by the West. He said he would look elsewhere and he will never forget how people turned against him before evidence wa

Does anyone have any guesses about what exactly the Saudi plan was when they killed Jamal Khashoggi? Surely they knew if they got blamed for the murder, it would cost them much more in damaged relationships than it could possibly gain in el

I'm puzzled by comments that describe this as a well written article. There are no new facts here; nor are there even any guesses as to what actually caused these detentions. There is no amazing investigative work, no deep unexpected i

Please consider not describing your opinion as if it represents Europe. I'm sure there are a lot of people in Europe who disagree with you (and a lot of people in America who agree). Grouping people together by some vague concept of na

I understand the general concern, but a bit confused about the details. Could someone do me a favor and write down a simple example of how this can violate privacy? Something like "User logs into Chrome, this automatically logs the use

Werner says that supply and demand aren't in equilibrium, and supply has the upper hand in negotiating the price because the transaction cannot happen unless one of the suppliers is involved. I don't see this in any way supporting

What does it even mean to willfully misunderstand?? On currency as fiction: the author uses a very precise meaning of fiction: "untruth". I don't think that currency fits that meaning. Can you explain? On bad guys using ficti

Precisely. It puzzles me how an educated person from the late 20th - early 21st century, who spends all his time learning and writing, can utterly fail to understand the structural and economic mechanisms of the modern world.

by _cs2017_ 8y ago
The author uses the word fiction in the strict meaning of untruth. There is no untruth required for humans to engage in cooperation. Even a very rational person, who doesn't believe in any untruth, may engage in cooperation if it is mo

According to the author, humans need fiction to unite, and therefore persuasive fiction is far more powerful and successful than truth. So far so good. But then the author makes one mistake after another. First, he conflates the use of curr

Stupid click bait. Expected to read about the fall of civilization in America, kinda like a fusion of Mad Max + Walking Dead. Instead read about high taxes and elderly people causing congestion on the roads. That's what happens when ec

That's fair, there is some line beyond which personal choices affects the entire society so much that being judgmental is reasonable. (That said, not everyone in the world agrees that personal drug use is past that line - but that&#x27

Judgmental much? Who are you to speak on behalf of everyone, a whole generation? I personally have enjoyed using FB and Instagram. If you don't like it, don't use it. And don't tell me and other users that we are stupid or dr

Maybe I'm confused. The blog makes a big deal out of the fact that the neural network can be hard coded. How is this relevant? I thought the whole point of the paper is whether our standard training process can learn the weights, not w

Oh yeah, that kinda makes sense. In China you can't run away after you got on the radar of a serious investigation. Maybe he thought the same happens here? Like he thought Apple security is equivalent to FBI or CIA or something. And th

Omg it's just too funny because it's so irrelevant to the main story and yet you're absolutely right. Even after the poor sod fought so hard to win the techie version of the Darwin award, he still could have made it to safety

It's hard to believe an Apple employee could have no common sense. But your explanation is still the least unbelievable. So I think you're right. Then the story is like this. The guy knew it's wrong to take stuff, but hoped n

by _cs2017_ 8y ago
So the guy stole data and hardware. Instead of leaving immediately for China before it's discovered, he went back to Apple and told them that he's leaving. And not just leaving, but leaving to work for a competitor in the self-dri

Suppose getting a good engineer would contribute $2 million / year profit to a company. That company would offer a higher salary than the going market rate, and thus steal engineers from competing employers (in fact, that's exactl

by _cs2017_ 8y ago
Maybe engineers are more replaceable than founders? That would explain why founders walk away with a lot more cash and credit. After all, there are a lot of good engineers who probably would do a good job as an early employee. And relativel

Why not just turn DNT on? Sure, not all websites respect it, but all Google services do.

Could you elaborate? Why does employer have leverage? Other employers compete for labor and are willing to increase wages if that's what it takes to get the staff they need. There's already a law that prohibits multiple employers

Yeah, sorry, I did forget to qualify my statements that apply only to a specific demographic. Now that I think about it, I don't even know what fraction of HN readers, and of SV residents it represents. Might be a lot smaller than I ex

When your say "scummier", are you referring to Facebook ads that follow your recent activity online? Or something else? On another note, as you put it, everyone wants everything for free. Is it really your place to tell them they
