This is why it was really disappointing that Apple had to abandon ZFS. ZFS is one of the best file systems available and because Oracle owns it it is virtually unusable in most contexts. I wonder if Apple can afford to buy out Oracle at thi

How much money have you got? Maybe the HN community can scrape together a few million to pay a private military contractor to go in and "bail him out"?

Do investors really need to 'wise up' as you say? It seems to me that they are quite tolerant of this type of thing, because it's cost effective in the end. They're searching for billion dollar unicorns, the diamonds in

How exactly is this guy able to raise money, as a practical matter? He lied his ass off under oath, testifying before Congress. It's likely he'll disappear overnight with all of his investors' funds.

This is 100% illegal unless a judge signed a warrant for each individual the plane observed. Is there any way of identifying the airplane and lodging a criminal complaint against the ones who were flying it?

Yeah it's looking like a well executed pivot.

How do these guys still exist? Anyone who has the opportunity to do so should damage these guys. Turn off their accounts, refuse to sell them goods or services, anything not required by law. By no means am I suggesting anything illegal or d

Software patents need to be banned entirely and this is a perfect example of why. Google's ideal outcome is that no other browser would have tabs, making them inferior to the point of not being usable. That is literally their desired o

A military active sonar is going to be as loud as possible in order to get the maximum echo signal back from military submarines underwater. I imagine this would be orders of magnitude louder than navigation sonar, not just a little bit.

You say that like the people (through the government) don't have the right to apply price controls to the market. They do.

I wonder how much attention this aspect of self-driving cars is receiving. We probably need some explicit protocol for (duly authorized) emergency services to assert priority in traffic. Relying on standard self-driving heuristic protocols,

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the second amendment and of cause and effect.

All of that is standard for a mainframe. Nothing on that list distinguishes this machine for handling mobile transactions as opposed to non mobile ones. IBM hasn't innovated here, they've merely iterated and added a buzzword. It s

Why is the US DoD permitted to own a /8? They are the greatest force against peace and for suffering the world has ever known. Their robots kill civilians daily and they have compromised the security of the Internet for the sole purpos

Mozilla changes your default search engine to Yahoo. I wonder if they would be as upset if Bing had outbid Yahoo for this privilege. Both companies should be prosecuted under the CFAA for these acts, making unauthorized changes to computers

It's ironic that a university administrator is studying Uber, considering that universities and colleges in the United States are busy replacing all of their professors with contractor 'adjunct faculty', who can be paid next

Where are the criminal charges for purgery? This kind of abuse has gone on long enough. We need to start sanctioning every DMCA claim that has the least error in it. Every copyright agent should be living in fear of having their company fin

I'm glad the author chose to leave out the details and just say he left the community. We don't need to read the lurid but irrelevant details in every article about filesystems.

The headline belies the utter ridiculousness of the idea. Why would the United States and United Kingdom be singled out to have backdoor access to all communications? To hang onto the tattered remnants of their empires while keeping their o

This is almost surely a dumb question, but what would happen if someone made a processor that only executed mov instructions, which would be extremely simple, and presumably would be really goddamn fast. Would that be competitive with today

Why not jail time? If someone designs an unsafe process, doesn't put guards on the machines to save a buck, or eliminates safety procedures to increase output, that is morally as reprehensible as if that person held the knife. I think

This person should rightfully be receiving most of the gross profits from the company making the displays as compensation for the loss of her hands, and the people responsible for designing an unsafe production process should be in prison,
