Yes, but it also a losing proposition for most people. Do we really think that people who are overweight, especially in a body focused society as the US, haven't tried to "just eat better"?

Which is still ridiculous because the Chinese are the hardest working people I've ever seen. I would assume she and her friends are by far the least hard working demographic in China. It's a just world fallacy if anything.

Yes, how can one trust a company's claims about privacy when the seemingly lose no trust over even such a high-profile incident? Celebrities phones has been targeted since at least the T-Mobile Sidekick.

Choice is a lot less relevant for this discussion than you think.

Apple could definitely afford to be a lot more idealistic, but it's just not (no longer) in their culture and frankly that is what a lot of people (stockholders) like about them. Also that's a lot of fallacies for one comment.

The point is that security is not an inherent or necessarily attainable feature of a walled garden. Some people seem to think that just because Apple approves apps there isn't going to be any security issues. The approval process does

As far as I know the users didn't. Which is to say that the App Store doesn't provide much more security than e.g. a black list. Androids problems are more than anything having a fragmented ecosystem.

The iCloud hack was enabled by the automatic backup feature that despite storing very sensitive information didn't provide adequate security for doing so. If there were actual precedent for Apple caring about their users privacy, there

So we have forgotten XcodeGhost already or the iCloud hacks?

The number one thing that prevents me from writing "better" comments is that more often than not it's simply not worth it. Either the story is already filled with noise, gets flagged off the front page, caught in controversy

As far as I know you have very little rights to begin with as a non-US citizen outside of the US.

I agree, imagine people saying the same thing about China or Russia. Not only that, they are completely missing Snowdens point. Which is that US intelligence are out of control and has become self-serving to the point of hurting US interest

In my experience it's even more important in small software shops because you're going to be good at different things and there's no room for ego.

The article states that "75% of Airbnb hosts in San Francisco say that their income from Airbnb helps them stay in their homes". I don't really see how economics would get in the way of that driving up rents.

Entitlement, for lack of a better word, can be good. When you don't get your basic needs or rights fulfilled or when you have done a good job, but are undervalued, and say "show me the money". In this case though, I think he

Uhm. I would say it's more notable that 1/3 of mobile traffic is seemingly under the control of a few companies. If you were ever concerned about the openess of the Internet, this is it.

I don't think "bug" is a very well-defined term. It seemingly encompasses most software imperfections. I guess people will generally characterize things based on their overall (negative) impact.

I would say mobog was the Facebook killer. Before its time though and when Instagram hit the mark Facebook promptly bought them and later WhatsApp. In Asia, primarily China, the Facebook killer is WeChat which is basically Instagram and Wha

That only works if cookies are infrequent enough, like location data, which they aren't. Also there's no way for the browser to know how the cookie is used. I'm all for a technical solution, but I'm not sure it's po

The point would be that you would have to authenticate before being tracked. Today disabling cookies will break login function of a lot of sites. I'm unfortunately short on time, but you should be able to find a discussion about this a

by gozo 11y ago
The "real" technical solution here is to standardize a modern authentication system separate from cookies and have things like "do not track" actually work. The industry has, seemingly deliberately, failed to do that. So

I think there are other problems with using curl|bash than purely technical ones. Since it isn't obvious to everyone how to do it correctly you're unwittingly creating a culture of just running anything of the Internet. You'r

Uhm. There's plenty of downsides to TCP/IP. It's just very very hard to replace, to the point of not being worth it. Take a look at something like QUIC for an idea of improvements.

You are already being forced to pay for homelessness. Directly in the form of things like hospital bills, but also indirectly in terms of inefficiency. Less workforce, public safety, progress etc.

I think "real" communities work, were people have common interests, self-organizations, transparency etc. A lot of communities don't work because there nothing at stake. I think you could randomly ban 25% of HN and it would,
