My conspiracy theory is that google intentionally has degraded the ability of spam to be detected. Why? Google Inbox did it absolutely perfectly. They wrapped up every email, from every major source, into nearly perfect bundles. You could r

All smartphones, Apple and Android, use dedicated audio processors which are always listening for the command word by saving recent audio to a buffer and analyzing it before discarding it. There has never been any evidence that I've ev

I missed the part where every creeper alive circumvents the policy without inconvenience but every other user alive can't. I require consistency, so either EVERYONE is inconvenienced, or EVERYONE can circumvent it without issue. The pa

That's true, the Costco model persists in the era of Amazon, somewhat surprisingly. But they're so aggressive on delivering value to their subscribers (and not by making a Netflix competitor no one wants) that I suppose any good c

So, they're complaining that creeps can use apps to take pictures but regular people can't? Their whole argument boils down to regular users not being able to download an app from the app store? Wow. You're right, I assumed t

I mean this seems obvious from a thousand miles away. Amazon changed the game fundamentally. The only two effective strategies are to challenge them directly (Wal-Mart and their logistics and their free 2 day shipping/no membership web

Ya know, any non-pervert can use those non-phone cameras for all of the use cases you mentioned too... Is taking pictures of your fancy dinner or jumpy pets really so hard to do with a superior and low cost dedicated camera? The results wil

In the twin example, what is to prevent your twin from taking your documentation and receiving a public/private key in your name? Or simply access that key of yours and use it? The public/private key only prove you hold the keys,

So, then, the only option is multi-factor biometrics. Everything else is just "not identity", right? And even then, biometrics can't usually differentiate between twins. For twins, there is arguably no way for software to dem

Right, and a decade of advertisements featuring those status symbols were pointless because no one cares about them. Alternatively: Or you know, mechanical keyboard users aren't interested in "signalling" anything, they'

Did it ever occur to you that people buy mechanical keyboards because it's just good/better? (And P.S. subjective ideas of good/better are what they are, but no fair objective analysis of price and value would agree with you.

I would disagree strongly, and I would go so far as to claim that signalling isn't done for the in-group, it's done for the out group. Apple users don't wear white ear buds to signal to one another, they do it exclusively to

It's funny how on hacker news apparently buying a fancy keyboard for your home where no one can see it is "signalling", but if you point out that wearing Apple watch, holding iPhone, and displaying those ear buds is also sign
