"nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself" ( https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/fifth_amendment ) This is a criminal case, however. It would apply to real people, but likely does

If a password is considered testimony and protected by the 5th Amendment, software also appears to be testimony and covered by the same. If not, then software is just speech and protected by the 1st Amendment. Not speaking is then a valid c

Saying NO is exactly not doing their job when there are numerous alternatives to their provided computer. The secretary of state must be able to communicate with others, period. Since they couldn't figure out a proper solution (and fro

I'm so glad people are finally, hopefully going to shut up about this soon. I'm surprised Clinton didn't just say this herself and end the scandal months ago. It's an extremely lame scandal because we're talking abo

"Even though I helped move a company’s valuation almost two billion dollars, I haven’t made a dime from the company outside of making a pretty below-to-average salary. That’s after six years." Pretty much sums up most startup expe

I'm sure they'll take a victory here over Apple any day as there is more data to be gained here, but the two cases are not that different. Each case is about building a backdoor and each case can really undermine the security that

Any discussions of guns in America that doesn't delve into the differences between states is bound to be uninformed just like this article. You want to see what gun control looks like in America? Go to New Jersey. We have gun control.

No, the proper analogy to locking down a computer is locking secrets away in your mind and as of this writing, that's still mostly protected by both the 4th and 5th Amendments of the Constitution. I cannot be compelled to testify again

I assume that this would be a feature as a protection against accidental or forced release of the private keys.

They are or are making themselves seem incompetent technically (difference is irrelevant in this case), but legally they are very competent and they know exactly what they're doing. This type of sharing is a given, whether intentional

Without your great insight, I never would have realized my laptop is a laptop and not a punching bag. Thanks for making everything so clear! I now understand why my punching bag doesn't compile. Also, your anecdotal evidence is meaning

Hardly unexpected. On technology, this administration has been as stupid and uninformed as any and all before it. When does the time come when the people have had enough and we stop listening to luddites and idiots and start listening to ed

This has become truly ridiculous. No one believes there's anything of use on that phone yet the FBI continues to persist to try to force Apple. If they want the key and the source code, give it to them. They're obviously so fuckin

I think it's safe to say that if this passes, UK security companies will no longer exist for all intents and purposes. I'm not saying they'll immediately go out of business, but I can't imagine anyone in their right mind

Shopping from overseas is apparently yet another reason Amazon will close your account. Also if you try to return things. It's amazing how little Amazon cares about customers.

Considering Amazon's reputation and practices, I wouldn't be surprised if their system was broken or compromised, probably on purpose. Still, they're also forcing Kindle Keyboard users to upgrade their devices for them to kee

Thanks for this! I was using an old extension for this that broke with the HN redesign a few months back.

This could be read either way, so it's hardly provocative: I matter to him because god doesn't matter to him. So the answer is yes. The only provocative thing here is the inability of the creators to make their point to anyone b

I don't see this as an issue. I've been blocking ads on the web for over a dozen years and now somehow it's an issue? No, it's not. The publishers who can't make it in a world where people increasingly use ad blocke

I'd say upgradability should be added to that list to make a better computer, otherwise it'd at best be equal to one from Apple.

Depends on your opinion. My opinion is that it's a ridiculous idea based on the concept of unit testing which for most code makes absolutely no sense (because at least with OOP code, you hardly ever have units worth testing). Then agai
