Yeah, one side is doing great work - the Win10 story still sucks a bit / lot.

This is a really good write-up - I enjoyed it. Lots of agreement on reboots, remote admin, where you put your disks (local SSD is just incredibly fast for pretty low cost relative to anything). iDRAC enterprise licenses are $50 or much less

This - we are a business user for dropbox, on windows the task tray is a mess, the collab / editing / paper features so annoying. Sync I think is still OK if you can ignore everything on the website. I do wish you could PAY for a

I used / bought the original iphone and thought it was fine, and the phone was magic. The next one or two though had really bad battery life (iphone 3g?) I mean, 3-5 hours active use down from 7-8 (which meant you needed to charge one

Not uncommon - rental buildings are almost all like this (building owner get's a cut / provides one option). Commercial buildings similar but usually one preferred and pre-wired, but if you are negotiating for a floor etc you can

The news is making a big deal about "secret" traffic aquisition costs - but the financials have covered these costs in a lot of detail over time - so it's not really new news. All the other players do / have done the sam

Half of the GCP revenue may be workspaces / gsuite - which would make GCP tiny by comparison to AWS. I'm really surprised at how low those numbers are for google cloud.

And plenty just want to get paid - it's actually pretty impressive how many take down / don't share if they are paid or actually come through with the decryption keys. Hard to see how they are terrorists? What are they pushin

I had a teacher in high school (black). He was an absolute favorite of students of all backgrounds. Extremely strict, very buttoned up. In the arts department. I think he literally was the advisor for like the multi-cultural club (that did

I'm not familiar with red state (I'm a maxed out dem donor BTW). I will look into Lorena a bit more though to confirm she is not labor involved. There was one other bill that had this same sort of ham fisted approach which turned

Interesting - inflatable heat shield, parachute, mid air helicopter catch. A few moving parts - be interesting to watch these - they claim 90% first stage cost savings. I remember blue orgin trying to block SpaceX from pad 39A. They even ap

AB5 has been a total disaster. The number of special cased carve-outs is ridiculous - it's not a normal law. Obviously AB5 was hacked together by some special interests (unions maybe - what is history?). It's totally unworkable. T

Don't let the facts get in the way of the outrage machine! She was watching The Voice on Hulu. We know she didn't have to record something every 30 seconds or enter reading from the dashboard or enter something within 10 seconds o

She wasn't "entering data about the drive into the uber app, at uber's request". She was streaming the The Voice on Hulu. Is this some weird type of disinformation campaign against uber? I don't like uber but it&#x2

It's ironic, but sites with terrible design complaining about other sites with terrible design - HN rules say you can't call out their hypocrisy anymore :)

They made their entire business work because people could easily call into these conference calls - they have on click call ins in the invite. And before the whole meeting password stuff, it was really easy. So ease of use was priority. Exi

Tesla does not have the 3D data to go with their imagery - google does. The amount of data google can collect, then integrate into their ground truthed 3D maps (which street view collects) is incredible. If they cared to they could back gen

This is not true. Google is collecting incredible levels of ground / lidar truthed imagery. In terms of then doing a generation function from imagery to 3D model (without lidar) they are going to be in a good spot if they want to be. T

Fantastic. The reality is that good mapping and some level of lidar (which is getting cheaper faster for low res/angle sensors) is somewhat game changing in terms of self driving vehicle reliability. Tesla will miss out I think by not

What I love is that these are often drop in replacements. How has AMD gotten AM4 to last so long as a form factor? Intel just burns through socket designs it feels like by comparison.

That is true - apple is locking everyone out - including the person who paid for it. But that does make the iphone relatively better from a security standpoint. The overseas android market is a wasteland security side - no one even pretends

Good lord. The "Alexa" knockoff has no voice recognition! Based on this title style I built a google and gmail knockoff - using index cards, ink and paper and postage stamps. It doesn't spy on me - but also doesn't work

Man - Apple has the worst customers. Your filevault password has not been compromised by any T2 issue. The secure enclave is rate limited. If you are such a valuable target, then the key logger needed to get your credentials can be installe

I think to persist the attack you need a persistent hardware device attached so a reboot doesn't reset things? The thing is, can't you just stick a keylogger onto the machine at this point and get an equivalent compromise? I log y

That's a great set of links. The hotmail comparison is apt - Microsoft basically trashed / dropped hotmail? So these acquisitions can go either way? The risk with what's up is definitely higher. That said, Facebook has an INC

Thanks, very helpful! The tribunals decisions (which have employees on them) can be appealed to courts can't they? My point - in California this isn't even a question. There is no need to negotiate. It's a matter of both poli
