I really wish we'd optimize for me owning my device rather than me entering my bank details on someone else's device. One of these use cases is a lot more important than the other.

Congestion taxes/fees incentivize taking public transit options. I don't think anyone arguing for congestion tax is along arguing against mass transit, the two go hand in hand.

Paying taxes is not politics. Being stressed about that is just the same as being stressed about any other personal administration task.

To some degree the sensor fusion actually helps the case for sensor malfunction. It would explain why it was detected by multiple "independent" systems if in fact those systems are not independent.

To be fair, I bet the NSA knows better than anyone if any given exploit is being used in the wild.

There is something to be said for not just halting on an error in production systems. Its the same reason assertions are usually turned off on production builds. Yes ideally the programmers should have handled the exception, but once your

Lol really? I'm not "on" your site when I browse there. I asked your server to send me some data and it did so. Its real life equivalent to social engineering. Its so far not illegal for me to ask you things and for you to

If the original patch contained a benchmark showing that it was slower on the current AMD processors then this would be a reasonable argument. It did not, because no such testing was done. I think there's a pretty low baseline of effor

> You can't expect intel to benchmark if a feature would be better or not on amd, that's not its role. Why not? If I was maintainer I wouldn't accept the patch, I'd ask the authors to test on AMD as well. Intel is w

I can't imagine a desktop PC that is unlikely to ever be used to browse the web. Spectre and simliar mitigations like disabling hyper threading are required to properly isolate javascript. Defaults should be set for the lowest common

It could only be considered a protection scheme if you were already relying on ads which Brave blocked. Wikipedia does not run ads.

They're saying that the quality of the ads shown are terrible.

Or just don't be a prick and write your own readline if the terms of the GNU version are not to your liking. HN is a strange place where people will bemoan piracy but salivate at ways to workaround the GPL.

A lot of people didn't think or that though. So many people would prefer to yell from the sidelines evey now and then about how politicians are all the same and don't reflect the will of the people. How many of them have actuall

The current execs seem to be just following the incentives given to them. Investors are willing to spend more money for "marketshare" than profit, under the delusion that they can turn profit later. Uber and ride sharing in gener
