All the people here excoriating Torvalds for using mean language couldn't do in a lifetime what he does in the average week. Let the man get his job done and stop pretending to be offended by someone who communicates effectively. I&#x2

Wow, so, when you're wealthy in America, you can literally murder someone in cold blood and only get probation for it? "He shot and killed his neighbor, Timothy Newman, a man who had repeatedly challenged Campbell over his acces

"ACAB" is a truism for a reason.

As usual, Democrats are the only party that gives a damn. Really baffling why anyone younger than me votes for anyone else.

> Does having a machine analyze your face invade your privacy any more than having humans analyze your face? Seriously? Yes, of course it does, by a gigantic amount; this should be maddeningly self-evident. Human beings do not, for ins

Leaving the United States is the best decision I ever made. And watching what's transpired in the (almost) ten years since I left makes me despair for the folks I still know there.

This is a much more elegant solution. We should also get rid of the CCFA.

Frankly, the world would be a much better, safer place without Facebook in it.

That was over ten years ago. The Apple of 2017 is a totally different company, and I don't think they're capable of pulling this off.

This will probably be what gets me (and most power users) to leave Apple's walled garden for good. Once iOS infects MacOS heavily enough that it interferes with the way I prefer to use my computer, it's all going away.

Maybe companies like this just shouldn't be allowed to store data on people anymore. It's becoming clear that none of them know how to keep it from being stolen. I reckon most people don't even know they're affected by

I just block tracking domains. And ad domains. My browser, my rules. The sites that can't handle it aren't worth the bother.

If you run FBP -- and I can't use Facebook without it now -- there's an option to remove the backgrounds and simply render them as text posts.

America's government is as cruel as it can possibly be lately. This is just punitive and disgusting.

This might be what gets me to finally abandon my Facebook account for good. They couldn't find a more aggravating way to squeeze the last drop of blood from this stone.

Considering the vulnerability was supposedly brought to Apple's attention a month earlier via the "proper" channels, and considering Apple's history of repeatedly ignoring and dismissing said disclosures, I'd say th

The first dot-com boom was so much better than this one. But the upcoming dot-com bust will be much more satisfying than the first one.

And yet they inexplicably enjoy solid support here. They're one of the dirtiest companies in the tech industry, and people, for some reason, can't seem to get enough of them.

I hope Google/Alphabet end up owning Uber after this trial. Then they can shut it down.

Half of HN are libertarian chuds these days, so it's not exactly a surprise.

There is nothing irresponsible about disclosing huge vulnerabilities in software by any means necessary. Edit: as usual, downvotes but no response. I miss when this place was decent.

In accounting, M has long been used as 'thousand'. Therefore, MM was used for million, as it's a thousand thousand. This is something that I didn't think would be this contentious. It's an old standard. https:&#x

Shutting "Project Veritas" down seems like the next step in all this. What a bunch of clowns.
