It looks like the management was involved in writing their own biographies. I can see why some people would want to spice up their IPO.

I wish application-level flow control would be paired with a database of internet speeds per subnet. They already track everything else, my connection shouldn’t repeatedly slow because the congestion algorithm doesn’t know my maximum downlo

Google would have been better off with a decentralized solution subsidizing WISPs, than trying to build out fiber infrastructure using contractors. Google wants to be a vertical monopoly, which is a massive coordination problem.

Why not, forearms are still pretty identifiable, all the pictures of forearms, user names, and IP addresses will subject to administrative subpoena the next time something happens. Or if someone feels like it.

Looking at Epstein’s life seems incredible. It is so incredible it is beyond my understanding. But you claim to understand it, which is also very much beyond me. But you are right, more so than you think, I cannot provide a way for you to u

Interestingly enough, 100-round barrels are banned. Alloys that would allow for cheap guns (“Saturday Night Specials”) are illegal.

I suggest reading the book October Surprise by Gary Sick. Intelligence agencies don’t use competent people. Your understanding of the situation is incorrect, and is leading you to incorrect conclusions.

I don’t know, has HN commenters solved demonization of outgroups? You can’t explain it in one sentence, you have to explain cultures, subcultures, how each subculture interacts, etc. It won’t matter anyway, it impacts the average person in

Epstein comes off as an unhinged individual. With a mansion full of sex art, a normal reaction would be “we should have known in retrospect”, not a sweetheart plea deal.

Oh, you can just obtain a signed iOS image with law enforcement features enabled. I assume all law enforcement features are enabled independent of the investigation, as some of them may be solely for investigating crimes involving non-conse

Payer would be charged with? I don’t know what you could charge a person who disabled a safety feature. I don’t know what you could charge a person who wants to avoid responsibility for a crime. I mean, crimes are serious, if the complexity

That’s an incredible statement to make, and I have no idea why you’d be defending the guards. The idea that someone can’t be charged for an indirect harm that they took no effort to avoid, that plausibly led to the outcome is absolutely abs

Once I mentioned on a mailing list Chrome’s reaction to mouse driver bug on my computer, it would buffer JavaScript events, and process it even for pages on a different domain. Later I told the EFF I had a suspicion that iOS didn’t rate lim

I think this is why investigations require low levels of evidence to start, but high levels of evidence to end. Just because it isn’t exceptional doesn’t mean that it isn’t worth looking into. People who are greedy are impulsive and are unl

Your argument is limited to technical and political science concepts, and by limiting itself so, is correct. It is inapplicable to the real world. Governments have used zero days. Most famously to use a zero day unlock an iPhone against a t

I strongly suspect that any roadmap would mostly consist of features present in other existing OSes, removing the mystique. It will probably be like any other modern OS, but designed to be a modern OS from the beginning. Which might save Go
