Do you have any data to back that up? If it's so easy to report Uber drivers, where's Uber's statement showing the data it has collected regarding its supposed lower offense rates? Why hasn't the London government taken

Are you saying Uber is the safer option? Did you miss the part where they are violating the safety regulations, and where cab companies are not?

It's not a ban on ride-sharing. It's a ban on a single specific company: Uber. And the ban is because Uber was routinely violating sensible regulations.

I'm not so sure. I didn't know what London black cabs were and I still read it as (black cab) driver. I just assumed black cabs meant something like black car cabs, e.g., Uber SUV.

If you hope to live, you should comply with $random_armed_thug, especially if they are not lawfully authorized. In fact, the less authorized, the more you should comply, unless you're saying you should start fighting an armed mugger in

Oh please that's an absurd argument. Nobody here is saying we should ban every possible dangerous thing. The question becomes what are the recreational benefits of using the drug when weighed against the possible risks and side-effects

Just curious, is it still possible to get to this beach by boat? Personally I wouldn't want to chance a trespass charge, but sea access might be a way around it.

These have everything to do with AirBnB. The problems he lists are inherent to the platform, i.e., a website where random people rent out their property to other random people. The competition (the hotel "platform") does not have

I didn't realize you were one of the HN moderators. Would you mind putting this ban on paywalled articles into the FAQ?

It doesn't matter whether he does or not. He's using your own argument against you. Stepping in here and saying, "don't worry guys I'm the expert, so don't ask any questions", is just pompous and doesn&#x2

"America" is a very large place. The taxi experience in NYC is going to be very different than somewhere in North Dakota (or even just another city, like Los Angeles).

I'm just saying I think that's what the parent comment is saying. As for whether Debian actually said that...well that's anybody's guess.

I mean, I think the comment was pretty clear, and that sounds like exactly what they said.

I mean, in this case the hard drive was bad, and they were purposefully scanning the entire drive in hopes of recovering his data. I'd say it's only natural for somebody to come across hidden data when the entire service is to rec

What question are you paraphrasing that somehow translates to shooting people? My question was about shooting down drones. Also when it comes to self-defense laws, most states require the shooter to genuinely believe he/she is in morta

Are you implying it would be a good policy to start shooting down drones in domestic airspace? What problems would that solve? How would you know which drones to shoot down.

The entire comment is written in third-person. The correction is simply following the same pattern as the original text. I really don't think the author was trying to avoid any blame on the mistake. This is maybe reading a little too d

So I know it's bash United week, but to be honest this is not even near the worst I've seen from large-company apps. Obviously their onboarding process is terrible, but putting new users aside, the app works pretty fine for existi

Entirely predicated on the "once people start doing this", which most people won't.

Or just get a credit card through your local bank (or anything with a nearby physical branch). I've had corporate cards replaced and reprinted for me same-day.

Clearly others have. I guess you can consider yourself lucky. It's a matter of mitigating risk.

Surprisingly I have not run into those compile time issues. Maybe it's just my company's own infrastructure, but our TS projects, which can get rather large, all recompile in less than five seconds.

This is why I prefer not to pass session information to the client in the first place. Have the session key be just an opaque, cryptographically random token that is then associated with data on the server (via a keystore of some sort). The

Huh? All Google native apps use Android's account syncing, which definitely supports using Authenticator for U2F. I'm confident it's also possible to implement it on other apps, although it's a matter of those app develo

I agree with your first sentence, but I don't think that's what the article was saying. (Or at the very least, it was poorly written enough such that that did not come across.)

This article: what a shitfest. But seriously, I was expecting some actual discussion about how GPG still isn't easy (or possible for that matter) in modern webmail clients, or even something relating to the usability of common GPG GUIs

This makes no sense in so many ways. I suggest you read more on exactly how Signal relies on Google. It does not at all compromise the encryption protocol. Also Tox? Good luck with that.
