I’d recommend reading up on Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle to understand why what you suggest is, to our knowledge, physically impossible.

The only thing that'd need to be in a secure element would be the signing keys. This has existed for a while for digital cameras. Canon, Nikon, and Sony have all brought still image solutions to market for use in situations like photo

Neat! Others have mentioned language localization, but I think the main missing piece here is species localization. Of the first set of birds presented to me, exactly none are native to my area. Learning bird calls is like an outdoor supe

Currently, STIR/SHAKEN is only required for VOIP and intermediate carriers but a lot of carriers have implemented or are in progress. Here's a recent report from the GSMA: https://www.gsma.com/get-involved/gs

STIR/SHAKEN is already required for VOIP providers and intermediate carriers. The FCC is working it's way through the system to implement this, there is in fact a way but it takes a while.

Same boat, major exchange backend and we just use 10MHz over 50ohm coax straight into the NIC which does the timestamping.

When you are responsible for the full infrastructure, sequencing power down and power on in coordination with your UPS is a common solution. Network gear needs a few minutes to light up ports, core services like DNS and identity services m

OSInt will happily fill in the rest. Even if you don’t have a social media footprint, your family does and they shoved their contact list, with you in it, to Facebook 10 years ago.

Consumer devices have never been known for color accuracy and goes back a very long ways. The running joke in broadcast was that NTSC stood for "Never Twice the Same Color".

If a human isn't violating the law when doing that thing, then how is the machine violating the law when it cannot even hold copyright itself?

That pretty clearly would fall under transformative work. It is not illegal for a human to paint a painting in the style of, say, Banksy, and then sell the resulting painting.

Google scrapes copyrighted material every day and then presents that material to users in the form of excerpts, images, and entire book pages. This has been ruled OK by the courts. Scraping copyrighted information is not illegal or we cou

If it were a derivative work[1] (and sufficiently transformational) then it's allowed under current copyright law and might not be the slam dunk ruling you were hoping for. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivat

Or you could provide some counter evidence. At the time of this writing, sending $100 to Algeria (it was on top of the list) via WU is a flat $8 fee. Currently BTC transaction fees today are $9.94. So yes, it is literally cheaper and you

ISDN was widely available in the US (it ran on the same copper pairs you already had) but was never all that popular. You could essentially _always_ get it deployed and it was the base-level connectivity back in the 90s for remote sites. I

Totally agreed, SEO spammers wrecked the public web years ago and Google did everything they could to enable it for more ad revenue.

You're using the phrase "MBA thinking" to mean "making decisions based on your personal use case and identifying solutions which match". I'm not sure how this is a bad thing. I don't run Linux to run game

You're working with the assumption that settling in large groups, creating a "state", and tending to agriculture represents progress for the people involved. I'd recommend checking out Scott's "Against the Gra

It’s actually worse than that - they set goals and then manufacturers started lying to meet those goals, which told the regulators that those goals were attainable and so they set new goals. The entire notion of clean diesel is a farce and

Why just CEOs? Should I, as an individual contributor, be encouraged to hold down several jobs so that I can split my time and attention between them?

My suspicion is that someone like the EU made it clear to Apple that they would either interop or the EU would make them do so. They have finally relented to support RCS in the coming year.

RCS is a spec ratified by the GSMA, the same standards body that specified things like SMS. Google tried to get Apple to do RCS, they refused, then Google tried to get a license to interop with iMessage and Apple refused again. Google has t

How is your tinkering enhanced by Apple making it difficult to communicate outside of their kingdom?

You’re thinking in terms of encryption, I’m thinking in terms of attestation. Eg, defend against root kits by way of validating all software components in the boot cycle.

The Apple Stockholm Syndrome is endemic on HN. The lengths people will go to support open source and open access while also vehemently defending the exact opposite behavior from Apple is astounding.

And offering that hardware for nearly one tenth the price of Apple. Oh, and actually shipping that hardware.
