Two things come to mind. First an equivalent of the secure enclave. Second a single company that is willing to go this far to protect its users. For Samsung this is complicated because both Google and Samsung are involved, and Samsung is no

Terrifying. Doing some quick back of the envelope calculations: 1,000,000 people in Brazil got the virus, and there are 4,000 cases of microcephaly. Let's assume that most of these are caused by the virus (pre-virus level of microcepha

I'm hoping new antibiotics like Teixobactin get to market quickly. That said multiple comments have been made here on HN on how there are no incentives for the pharmaceutical industry to bring a new antibiotic to market. It would lik

I used to think the same as you, but I came around. I am annoyed by the FSF dogma because they lay an exclusive claim on the word ethics when applied to software. I consider myself an ethical person even in software. But my definition of

The English in that paper is beautiful. Also it contains a full two paragraphs of personal background on the discoverer. The background seems a lot more humble that we're used to today. "The family moved to Kansas in 1922, where I

I understand this to be: work hard, but because work is such a large part of your life, do a job that you like. Don't do the job just because it pays the bills. Your job has to be fulfilling to your inner self. If not you are not true

Rust was bootstrapped with an OCaml based compiler. Alas I don't think it has been kept up to date, so you won't be able to use it to compile the v1.0 source. Not sure how many generations in between the last OCaml compilable rust
