I'd love to get my hands on the current version of the file, just to play with. Without having to wait days for approval. Is that something I could find somewhere?

And any way you look at it, it's clear that Apple wasn't just trying to cripple old phones in an attempt to sell the newer models. They were doing their best to prolong the life and/or maintain a decent experience for the pho

This seems to warrant repeating every time this is brought up: It just needs to be 1% better than human drivers. If the net result is 1% less tragedies - sign me up. If it's better than the alternative, I'm in.

You are exactly me. Right down to (Robocop). But I still haven't figured out how to hit that delete button. As much as I know I need to. I'm sitting on 30TB now of stuff I'll never ever ever watch again. But I just can't

(not op) Empathize yes, but I would encourage people to try as much as they possibly can to change their viewpoint from envy to joy. I think that's a healthier solution than hiding from it.

But if the likelihood of FSD causing an accident is N%, but the likelihood of a human error (alcohol or otherwise) is M%, I would always choose the better bet. I realize the error situations may differ drastically but if the final numbers a

Is the M8 obtainable? It seems like it's constantly backordered.

This is good information, but the original point is still valid. Kayvon is not struggling in the least bit.

This will inevitably happen at some point in the future. And it could be very very ugly, depending on what hardware is compromised. There is no chance that we can count on IOT manufacturers to pin certificates or to have any motivation what

Wow, I had no idea I could add MD to my github profile. That's really cool. I created a silly little tool to spice up your github contribution graph a while back. I don't know if I ever even posted it to HN, but this thread seems

some great copypasta from reddit way back when. I've sent this to many people to help them deal with grief. The original author is /u/garysully1986 and is still active I believe: https://www.reddit.com/r/

What about privacy? Does it not phone home with every single browser request?

Your timeline is correct. But we all accepted that by switching to Chrome we were sending our entire browsing history to the biggest advertising giant to ever exist.

Exactly this. I thought this was common knowledge now. You can't ban a bad actor without truly knowing the source of content. Otherwise I can just sabotage my enemies.

I tried to git my resume once upon a time. It's still something I'd love to finish doing, it just makes sense to have a git repository as a timeline of your life: https://github.com/ben174/bugben

Ok, fine. But can we at least reverse the gamer/geek label. It was always a geek tool - gaming was far secondary. Look at bash.org and tell me the majority of IRC was used for gaming vs. geeking.
