Have you considered the ethical concerns regarding allowing humans to work doing menial tasks which can be automated to the scale you are saying? Are you convinced that no other work would become available for these people that would justif

Thank you. I want to add an aside here: I have chronically abused the rules of this site in the past. I was ignorant as to the mission of Hacker News and how it can help me! I realized that my ideas are worth having a slow, measured convers

If the universe is deterministic, how can there be entanglement or branching at all? What need is there for a multiverse if you have determinism? It’s as if non-determinists aren’t sure that 2 doesn’t act like a 3 sometimes because of decoh

Yes I think that was the intention. You reduce the attack surface for injection attacks because the injected code must route all requests through example.com. Example.com will implicitly trust api.creditmerchant.net as it does today, but th

In theory, we can still enable end-to-end encryption while forward proxying by a separate service provider, but it might not be easy to implement. The browser would need to be smart enough to route packets through the website and verify SSL

I was mocked at at Black Hat when I asked a question several years ago why people don't consider forward proxying all third party dependencies for the user. Then we could disable CSR entirely. They said that doing that would fundamenta

Futilely reorganize your business units repeatedly until it’s a Dead Sea and there is no distinction between working hard and slacking off. Edit: I see I cut too close to reality for some here and I want to apologize if you felt this sarcas

Tesla's Auto Pilot website makes claims that other auto manufacturers don't make like: "With the new Tesla Vision cameras, sensors and computing power, your Tesla will navigate tighter, more complex roads." There is a lo

If we want to be fair to consumers and bystanders, Tesla needs their product to safely stop the reckless behavior (not simply warn the user). If it can't do that, it needs to disable AutoPilot. AutoPilot was marketed in a way which led

What would happen if millions of people changed their phone numbers and did not re-register them with new accounts? Does anyone believe a social effort could dissuade the use of phone numbers for tracking people? How much entropy would need

This is just my anecdotal experience but the Fry's Electronics stores in Texas are way better than the ones in California. They are better stocked, better cooled, and have nicer cafeterias.

I'll throw my hat in as one of those that has been smoked out practically 24/7 for the last seven years and haven't experienced these symptoms working at various big name tech companies as software engineer. I am glad to hear

Unpopular opinion: I want a touch keyboard with incredible haptic feedback. Long-throw keys trigger my particular RSI symptoms the worst. If I could move my fingers even less and apply even less force than I need to on the butterfly keyboar
