They should mention if the passwords were salted or not. Just saying the passwords were hashed isnt sufficient.

Maybe thats what you want, maybe not. What you want, I think, is value for the $5. The same way for example you want value for the $10 you pay Netflix. Netflix doesnt allocate subscription dollars based on hours of viewing. So for e.g. Hous

Have you been able to discern why an attack in London that kills 4 people is considered more pertinent by these bastions of journalism and not the numerous that happen every single day in Iraq and Syria, a place plunged into this power vacu

Im curious, what is PC terminology? - Is it the act of calling a homosexual person, gay instead of fag? - Is it referring to black people as african-americans and not niggers? - Is it referring to Muslim people as muslim people and not ragh

Whats the rationale for banning even one? Were there any actual threats? There were certainly no attacks by immigrants/refugees from those countries. According to you we should wait for things to reach peak bigotry before reacting. Wou

For me personally as a foreign student from India the biggest hurdle was cultural. I didnt know much about Star Wars, or American TV of the 1980s-90s which meant I couldnt just jump in to most conversations. The second biggest hurdle was th

In SF, I see cyclists jumping traffic lights, ignoring STOP signs, not giving right of way to pedestrians in the cross walk etc. etc.. In my anecdotal experience I see more cyclists breaking traffic laws everyday than cars. I havent felt th

As a pedestrian in SF, I feel a lot more threatened by cyclists than by cars. The car-pedestrian right of way rules are clearly established, but the pedestrian-cyclist rules, if they exist, seem to be ignored by cyclists. I have numerous ti

>But let's not talk about the opponents of this as if they are flat-earthers or white supremacists or something - their stance is just as reasonable as any other socio-economic-political view. Sure. The NIMBYs are not flat-earthers

Well sure they will fight, but thats not a good enough reason to not do something. Hopefully the state government has enough political capital to deal with the fight that the relatively small population of homeowners will put up.

This is a bit of chicken and egg. There is very little appetite for building mass transit until there is density and thus cost effectiveness, but your point is how can you increase density without first building out mass transit. So they wo

You get them to conform by passing laws at the state level to take power away from the local residents. I know they wont comply, we have already seen the problems that giving local control creates in this scenario, so the solution is to mak

Well then municipalities will have to plan for X rising to Y and plan for and implement Y. Civic planning doesn't have to get frozen in time and population.

Why is the answer to not change zoning laws? Why is the answer not to remove local say over what gets built and whats not? Why should the area's property laws remain frozen to an arbitrary point in time? Silicon valley is not "bui

Bay area's housing shortage is entirely self inflicted by its residents who refuse to allow more housing to be built. All this to maintain some arbitrary idea of character. A character that is frozen at some random point in time. Ther

I think it can start with developers choosing firefox over chrome. Hackers were the first people to try out linux, when it was sub-par, didnt have most drivers. If not for those initial few foragers, we would still be stuck with Windows for

Choosing linux at the time when you had to compile drivers, apply patches before you could get a monitor properly running was also not very user "standard" from a consumer perspective. But that spirit of trying out a piece of soft

I don't think any transformation like that happens overnight, but you have to have a point of view on what the future will look like and then turn the ship towards it. A good example is Netflix. They did DVDs, won that battle but then

Thanks for providing your perspective. Did anyone question the decision to remove the option of only allowing Uber to use location while using the app? That would have been a reasonable way to gather data but allow people uncomfortable with

One thing iOS shouldn't allow is for apps to pick this all or nothing user setting. Apps should be forced to deal with user changing the location setting from always to only while using. If its an option in the OS , app developers, esp

You can choose to report that.

by redditmigrant 10y ago
The problem is that there is no user-facing setting that can say, 5 minutes only. So going from 5 to 10 to always becomes a decision that can be taken without informing the user at all.

Twitter at its most basic has a product problem and not a revenue or sales problem. I think for product problems founders have a unique perspective and legitimacy to make tough decisions. My guess is that the need for this founder perspecti
