> In German there is the saying: Wer macht, hat recht which translates to who makes is right. Closest thing in English that I could think of: history is written by the winners. Similar concept.

I have a TCL and the factory firmware was out of date and apparently was affecting the picture quality in negative aways. My options were: 1) connect to wifi, update, then disconnect and trust that it's been done or 2) load the update

I see all the staunch supporters of deregulation across the board that normally come out of the woodwork on HN are strangely absent.

I used to browse without one when I worked on an ad-supported site and had to implement and make sure they were working correctly. Gotta assume it's a similar situation here?

One of my favorite quotes about software engineering, sorry not sure who to attribute it to: "First you learn the value of abstraction, then you learn the cost of abstraction, then you're ready to engineer"

The conspicuous lack of detail in this statement doesn't bode well...

Look at any data comparing wage growth with productivity since the 60s and that should go a pretty long way to explaining it.

He was sued into buying it for way more than it was worth. The first changed announced so far (in addition to printed code reviews by senior Tesla engineers) is to charge a subscription fee for verification.

Why would he do that. What about anything he's ever done makes you think that is even a remote possibility

You can do that. A related problem: there is no obvious way to revoke early (ie. before the timestamp that was encoded when the token was issued). There are solutions but they require building extra mechanisms.

It could do that part. Making the decision about what to buy, how much of it, and for whom etc would be the types of non-trivial decisions you need your sales AI to make better than a person

Bluetooth works ok if you're not sharing receivers or if you don't have more than one device acting as transmitter. Anything beyond that where you're mixing and switching devices, or sharing receivers (like multiple speakers

Why should the average end user care or know what the internal security model and practices are referred to as? How would they even discover that a given app or brand is trying to enforce zero trust without reading their engineering blog or

Consumer Reports used to be good but it seems to have gone through change in management or something because now it is indistinguishable from the avg SEO spam site.

The webcam in the MacBook Pro seems to be way better than most. Complementing that is an extremely good mic. Arguably these are two of the truly "professional" touches in their line as of late.

If you backup 2FA to the cloud (eg. authy) how does that not count as a second factor still even if security is diminished for other reasons?

Interesting but what exactly is the point of this and who is it for? The continued focus on something as myopic as drinking straws and proposed "solutions" to the straw problem that depend on individual choices is actually insane

The most unsurprising thing ever. Hardware switch would be the only way to be sure. (Apparently modern macbooks do hardware disable the mic and camera when the lid is shut)

Sounds almost as if "fully self-driving cars" coexisting with human driven cars is not feasible to do safely because it's not purely a technical problem. My contention is simply that Tesla is acting irresponsible so long as t

So they're recalling a feature that was explicitly and intentionally built to do something that runs afoul of the law, at the user's behest. Again this is by design, meeting their own requirements. For their self driving technolog
