What makes you think this isn't it? I know that the primary reason for his fixation with autism is to attack vaccines. But have you listened to him talk about autistic people? It's pretty clear that he considers autistic individua

No amount of crypto is going to protect you from this mess. Technical safeguards work as long as it is backed by the law and the constitution. But when they are suppressed, the people in power will just find someone smarter than you and bri

My definition of a phone platform is that a reasonable app ecosystem must exist. Or at least the ability to easily develop the ones I need - I don't mind developing for my needs. If a more secure phone without a substantial app ecosyst

I admit that git is a bit hard. But you need to know only a few basic rules to get merges and rebases right. And git doesn't throw things away, at least for a month. There is enough room for experiments. Can't handle even that? Ge

I would immediately jump ship if I could buy a phone that supports a truly free OS. Instead, I'm stuck with an option between a reasonably-secure, but completely locked-down phone (both hardware and software) with an exorbitant life-lo

Some of the highest voted stories on HN are related to someone's passing. Think of the upvotes less as a 'like' and more as 'paying respects'.

If you take the regex subset that works uniformly across all regex engines (even for just perl-compatible engines), you would probably get nothing done. They all have some minor variations that make it impossible to write a regex for a part

It's likely that military satellites used a bunch of tricks to hide itself. But I don't know how useful they are these days. All major space powers have radars powerful enough to easily pick them out. They're needed for satel

There are soft kill mechanisms that can avoid the Kessler syndrome, at least in the beginning. But that isn't the reason why territories aren't defined beyond the atmosphere. It's easy for a plane to avoid flying over another

You should check the JWST thermal shield. It addresses exactly this problem. Also keep in mind the additional cost it incurs.

You don't need NRO or NSA for that. You just need a few ordinary unauthorized people. And that's what happened in these instances. And nobody blamed this on Signal. Signal never claimed that their app is good enough for this. To s

If you need a solution, you need to address the problem. And the problem here isn't the cellphone. It's only a symptom.

There's no concept of airspace in space. You have very few avenues to keep a sat restricted to a geographic region. Orbits like geostationary and molniya exist - but they come with their own limitations for many applications.

People have different priorities. Dismissing the needs of the scientific community based on meaningless comparisons for the financial benefit of a few megacorps isn't really a good argument. There are much less disruptive ways to provi

There are massive telescopes around the world with adaptive optics doing cutting edge observations. Their service time is still under high demand. Those aren't just 'pretty pictures'.

That isn't a big problem due to several factors. To begin with, OFCs on the ocean bed is how route the majority of the internet traffic already. You can easily bury it a few inches under the surface anywhere. Another point is that thes

It isn't that simple, is it? Even if you place the black surface on a spacer (adding mass, might I add), the black surface itself is going to radiate heat back onto the satellite via blackbody radiation. This is always going to create

I would argue that this is more of an ambiguity caused by the English language, rather than a deliberate twisting of the headline. The word 'support' has at least two meanings - 'to advocate for' and 'to provide ser

The use case you described is genuine. But the problem I see here is the insistence that the email platform should fulfill those requirements instead of creating a new platform and letting it win the market on its own merit. People have cer

Issue tracking and PRs have good alternatives. Some dedicated solutions are frankly a lot better than GH - if only people didn't dislike discrete solutions. On the other hand, network effects is a big problem - especially for open sour

Please don't drag Rust into needless controversies like this. Rust does improve the situation. But not even the language developers will make such bold claims. To begin with, memory safety errors aren't the only source of security

Hyperbole according to whom? Clearly, this forum full of tech professionals seem to disagree with you. And I listed those arguments to show how hollow your own argumentation is - not to draw a parallel. But even with that straw-man, how did
