Because it is the moderator's opinion that such content is not very relevant to HN and gets disproportionality upvoted. Basically they disagree with the enthusiasm of privacy advocates.

My post does not answer that question and it wasn't trying to. The answer to that question is "We don't know". But suggesting that we do an audit of the code to find out doesn't seem productive, which is what I was

You can't audit the firmware of the baseband processor, which is capable of sending the key to anyone, so there's not much point of auditing Android/asking Google. You cannot rely on any phone with a closed firmware baseband

I think the point that needs to be made is that there is very little incentive for a bitcoin owner to store their bitcoins with a bank. People store cash because it's susceptible to being stolen and inconvenient to spend versus a debit

He's too much of a golden child who's pissing off large, politically connected American companies (either in the automotive, energy, aerospace, or defense industries). There is a lot of potential damage that can be done to his per

The issue here is that pilots are not going to risk the licenses they've spent potentially over 100k on to make money this way.

This is an awesome project. Thanks for making it. My small suggestion (though it's a big task) would be to allow anonymous data collection when there's a seizure. Getting the sensor data on real seizures I am sure would help a lot

If a job candidate told me their previous team had a closed-culture and was unappreciative of their talents I would think it was the candidate who was difficult and thought too highly of himself. I would simply stick the lines of "The

You're still needlessly leaving money on the table with your plan. What if (made up numbers) I am currently making 50k. To move to a new job, I would want 60k. The job budget is actually 70-80k. I tell them 60k, they say "Great!&q

That's exactly it. One side has to give, but if you're a good developer and you're to the point of salary negotiation, you have a lot of leverage in this circumstance. In my opinion it makes more sense for an employer to give

Because you lose a tremendous amount of leverage in negotiating that way. 99% of the time, no matter how much you emphasize "at least", we salary talks start the HR person's first line is that they're offering you what y

Don't think you 8 years experience is a bit steep for someone without a CS degree? It's not really in line with the rest of your requirements, which could be easily exceeded with half that experience. Do you really think 4 years o

God damn that's some terrible reporting. Never mentions what law she broke. Why is pretending to be a man illegal? Is it because the victim consented to sex under false pretenses? What if a woman only has sex with me because she thinks

The chance of TrueCrypt suing anyone is near zero. They only stipulation they really gave anyone for using their code was to not use the same name, which VeraCrypt is satisfying (unlike the knuckleheads at truecrypt.ch).

If you recall when that airliner went missing tons of people starting scanning satellite images for debris. The resolution is simply not high enough to detect tiny little things like debri or life rafts.

I don't worry about stuff like this too much, or stuff about the UK wanting to do stupid stuff like ban all encryption. I believe the internet is going to become more private and more anonymous as time goes on. Eventually everyone will

I am a developer and pretty computer savvy, but I don't know the first thing about configuring a firewall and I suspect it would be pretty time consuming to even make an attempt at doing so. Regardless of what I did, I would not be con

It's not like they would repeal the law and all private dealerships would be shut down the next day. They would continue as usual, probably for several years, and most would eventually get phased out. It's not letting it burn, it&

This is a terrible argument in support of franchise dealerships. If people care so much about being treated poorly by the manufacturer then they can go to a private dealership and pay thousands in markup to have someone smile at them throug

They made large investments under laws they lobbied for and made by politicians that were paid for. I have no qualms reversing a horrific abuse of lobbying and actions of unethical state congress members. They got to benefit from this farce
