Ah, my apologies, I’ve misread what you’ve said at the end there. It sounded like you’re saying there’s no legal justification. I didn’t mean for it to sound violently but maybe I shouldn’t reply on HN too early in the morning. I wish I cou

Their business model isn't illegal, so there is no need to find any legal case. You're now implying all manufacturers are abusers of their own monopoly. Xbox games only runs on Xbox, MS should be charged the same way as Apple here

Browsers are apps too and your statement is too vague. Please explain what you’re afraid of. To me, it sounds like you’re talking about third party apps, and your fear is about third party developers having access to your web accounts. In t

There's a big difference, Apple was directly told by Irish government these taxes aren't required. Apple is paying extra taxes after it was ruled that Ireland was incorrect. Why should Apple be fined for what Ireland did wrong? Yo

How would you rule out age-related changes since this specific astronaut was in space for a year? DNA is not fixed, they change all the time. It is always better to have more data points to rule out several variables, especially considering

Everything they do has an impact on their end goal/master plan, Mars. They need to send thousands of ships to colonize Mars. This global sat internet service will require them to deploy tens of thousands of micro-sats to provide global

Except on two separate machines, a Windows update reinstalled them for me. MS did said it was a bug but it happened a few times after that for me.

I think people are just holding on to their devices longer. The mobile market is hitting that maturation point where people aren't upgrading the high-end models every 1-2 years, it's turning into more like the PCs, they'll up

Please do consider paid version and/or donations to sustain the development. I'd pay for a fast native app for Slack and others but I also know these services would change over time and it would be nice to get updates.

I doubt it has to do with privacy, have you seen how many selfies are out there with food shots and stuff? Plus, such studies could be funded to give people money for tracking this. I believe the problem isn't with privacy but just tha

Look at this from their point of view, not yours. Most people have this understanding that lawyers are expensive and Zillow is a big company, it is natural and reasonable to expect that fighting or resisting Zillow is going to be expensive

It's not me that is having a problem with this, I'm just pointing out why some people are having problems with Tavis in general. You don't think it is reasonable to at least tell a vendor there is a security problem first bef

by mikhailt 9y ago
It depends on the situation but I agree with the better name for this, coordinated disclosure. If the vendor refuses to do anything, then yes, the 90 days should be waived. I'm not saying we shouldn't disclose at all, I'm say

Not this tweet specifically, look at the tweets he did in the past where he did point out the names such as LastPass and 1Password. It caused some folks to contact these vendors for more information where they don't have any yet at the

by mikhailt 9y ago
There are many sides to this and you're generalizing it to people not understanding the full value of security disclosure is misleading. I can assure you a lot of those people fully understand the value of security disclosures and they

Considering the amount of the personal data still going through email, this is one of the few areas that no one should be giving up to any third party services, regardless of the benefits it may provide. Encryption with you owning the key i

At this point, I'm just happy there is a new email client that isn't storing anything on the third party servers. Good for Canary and I'll give it a try.

This seems to confuse some people, the author is not saying Apple have a monopoly on smartphones. What the author is talking about is the locked-in ecosystem that Apple owns, iOS and macOS (watchOS/tvOS). > Moreover, the advantages
