When violent revolution is around the corner, I will buy this argument. The deficiency in your position is that it assumes change cannot happen from within. Additionally there are great things that these companies do in spite of government

I'm sorry- perhaps I misunderstood. I thought you were suggesting that anyone who works for these companies MUST somehow be complicit in these encroachments by the government. If that's not the case, I think you're cool on n

I think you should eat brussel sprouts. My opinion entitles me to publicly deride you for failing to meet your moral imperatives. To do anything else makes you complicit in the great evil intrinsic to non-brussel sprout consumption. I am

It's actually the cult of law enforcement that we have to worry about. Also- consider whether or not your mainlining of the 2 team ideological spectrum is a result of efforts to keep you the citizen from really pursuing meaningful chan

Google is choosing not to leverage licensing opportunities that could solve this situation for all of the Google Experience Devices. This is not about the apache or gnu license. This is not about binary blobs. This is about a huge company

I do not think you understand the definition of hyperbole. I live 40 minutes outside of Seattle, in a rural area that is considered a great destination for a full day weekend bike loop. Our highways are curvy, have very little shoulders an

I quit biking because I realized it was unsafe. I am not sure why ostensibly intelligent people would engage in any activity where you are one texting teenager away from crippling injury or death.

Spectrum is only part of the equation... And if they didn't design things right, they won't be able to take advantage of spectrum differently like you propose.

This is super interesting. In full blown 4g networks, voice is going to be handled via sip traffic via an IMS core. Some things to investigate: Is Verizon using separate APNs for their voice and data. Based on what is presented, I am guess

Thomas has regularly made meaningful & insightful contributions to the hacker news community. I don't know what your vendetta is against him, but please- take ad-hominem attacks back to reddit. I don't always agree with what

Thomas Jefferson had an interesting strategy for activating the consciousness of the nation prior to the revolutionary war. It's important to remember that divorce from england was a final step- they were british subjects trying to fi

Watch the youtube video referenced above. There is some kind of wiretapping going on all the time.

I agree with your skepticism but I disagree with your analysis of Stickley. This looks like the typical security clown out there writing his own wikipedia entry. His article's main point seems to be that he found a buffer overflow. There

"Hopefully not forever." I completely agree. I also think that this kind of post on full-disclosure should be used as an example of what-not-to-do. I've always treated vuln reward programs as resume enhancers. If you submit a bug and get

If the feds were to audit the situation you are describing, I would wager they'd come after Google. Google has a lot more freedom and track record for asking forgiveness instead of permission than Paypal (i.e. wifi sniffing in google cars).

The Federal Labor Standards Act has provisions about anyone under the age of 18 working for companies whose revenue is greater than $500,000. It sucks to be a kid for a lot of reasons. This kid just blamed Paypal for one of our country's m

"When you are exercising it can read your heartrate." Why would you present a device that clearly looks like HAL 9000, integrates a very skynet-esque xbox live and choose to say it can read your heartbeat? Wouldn't it be better to give the

The service would not give up data unless you had a specific header. You can look at the script here: http://praetorianprefect.com/archives/2010/06/114000-ipad-ow... If you didn't masquerade as an ipad, you couldn't have gotten the data

I disagree. AT&T apologized to their impacted customers & changed the function that was exploited. ( http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/06/13/att-explains-ipad-s... ) As with all security problems- a mistake was made and then expl

Employees who are parents are less productive. Logically, it follows that there would be measurable degredation in society over time, as long as workers keep procreating. Society's decline is irrefutable. I hope the explanation for your p

Is the simplest answer then to have a T.o.S. that states no one under 13 is allowed to use your product until you can afford staff charged with handling security & privacy? Then you can CFAA those little twerps.

Cool project! Maybe iterate it to use LEDs instead of incandescents. For hardware hacking- you have 3 types of hardware that can make life easy- but there are tradeoffs: 1) Arduino 2) Raspberry PI 3) Beaglebone Arduino is great when you wan
