So it's more like NY lawmakers take two steps backward, one step fore.

Thoughtcrime is definitely the wrong term for this class of unjust punishment.

If the CA issues certs like that they actually are compromised.

And note that C is only an option if you are being sued as an individual, if you are being sued as a corporate entity you cannot defend your company pro se, you must retain a licensed attorney.

Yes! I love this. If we can reduce the cost of defending these we would eliminate them without needing anything else.

You know, escrow sounds like a great idea if it can reduce applications by the same amount it increases prior art submissions. It would make it harder for individuals, though.

Or we could take the money those pills cost, give it directly to researchers, and open source the results. Lower costs, same results, money left over for plenty of other things. I mean you do know the US has the worst cost/lifespan ratio of

I got interested in lisp because of hn and pg, actually. Now I am writing toy one and reading through the kernel paper (because why shouldn't macros be first-class language objecs?). It's a sickness.

I was thinking giving any hacking attempt some sort of fake shell access would be a great learning experience, how awesome is it that other people had that thought and made it.

I certainly hope it won't last! But there isn't a large downside to angering the few of us that were just passing by. My dream is having some AdBlock-style filters for misbehaving websites, run by tens of thousands of people. Then we could

They want to have push/local notifications. It's like getting ahold of an email, but moreso. I've turned off Javascript to avoid them asking, now I constantly get "turn on your javascript" black overlays from Wordpress sites. Damned if you

My perspective is that you are using that person's processor time, so it's okay to have anonymous opt-out if they know what is happening, otherwise I don't think it's appropriate.

The terrorists did get a lot of what they claimed they wanted, though.

This is hugely important. Any analytics had better be opt-in from a very visible and honest request dialog. Otherwise, quite frankly, it's unethical.

I completely agree. You cannot put your own software on it and if you have one you're forced to take an extra set of cables when you vacation, and you need to baby those cables because adding protective sleeves to the ends "isn't the right

Revokable addresses are going to become a necessity in the not-so-far future.

I think it seems like a rude question? I have coworkers that keep asking me trivial development questions and I don't really know how to say, "I'm going to need your first reaction to a problem to be Googling it".

I wish they would release us from iTunes or at least let me use the damned thing with my work and home computer.

Both choices are crap, but I think most technical people would still rather have the restrictive patents over policies drafted with the expectation of Jesus's return.

You know we are a highly technical audience and YC companies can advertise jobs, etc. here, right? I think that post is right, and things like cable TV or Hulu are just squeezing some money out of their product before they pass it on.

I love the story where the creators defined a Lisp interpreter in Lisp, and then one said, "you know, we don't have a Lisp compiler, but I could compile this source by hand." It's quite an elegant concept when you accidentally create a full

Are you kidding? I would never expect important information of any sort to come in the form of a postcard.

Those workers are not paid enough to pay attention. I wish we could remove the Rapiscan machines and use that money to train and pay TSA staff. Then we might get security instead of just the theater.

Something I have been curious about for a bit; how do you include textual data as input into a NN?

Presumably the Fifth Amendment, which still protects one from disclosing their password unless the prosecutors have a witness who has seen illegal material on your device.

I gave a one-star review to an app just for spamming me with "like us on Facebook" requests in the app. But the number of reviews it had was well into the hundreds by the time I got to it, so my effect was miniscule. I agree with you comple

This is the number one reason I find my iPhone irritating (in practice) -- apps keep abusing even local notifications and those should be off by default unless I allow it.

Wow that would fit right in the middle of Catch-22.
