   I wonder if these kind of cases will fall under responsible disclosure in the future like security vulnerabilities.

   Email is the last open federated platform still in common use. Losing email means all future communication is by default controlled by a large corporation. I don't see how this would ever be a desirable outcome. If I don't like m

   In other word the 'cost' reputational or monetary of a few dead journalists/activists is less than that it would take to make it safe.

    Apple went with Cingular not AT&T. The iPhone would not have been possible in this era of monopoly where we only have 3 carriers left. This is what we have lost not enforcing antitrust. https://www.apple.com/newsroom&#x2

    I'm forgetting the specifics but I read a story about how little the muslim world cares about specific instances but universally they are outraged by mohammed cartoons. Everything else is political and doesn't unite them.

    Nintendo has some rabid fans as well as selling mostly exclusives. Valve's market mostly already own gaming PC's and won't buy a handheld. It's just too expensive for the few time's you want to play games and aren&#

    HyperNormalisation is an excellent movie. I don't necessarily agree with everything in it but it gave me something to think about.

    No, contracting as many military functions out as possible was spun as making things 'more efficient' by the Bush administration. Forcing the pentagon to go with the absolute lowest bid has been an enormous source of waste when e

    As always, government contracts are some of the most lucrative out there. Especially when 'unauthorized' repair can be spun as 'dangerous'.

    I don't think this is a case of short term vs long term. Due to marketing the value of surveillance products seem obvious whereas the downsides sound like techno babble to the average user.

    I'm surprised they went with a custom AMD part. Seems expensive for what is likely to be a low volume product. Why not just do a laptop in a handheld form factor.

    Or people will realize the service isn't as valuable as what's being charged. No one asked for 80% of facebooks features, it could be run/maintained by a much smaller team.

    This is a much bigger deal than HN realizes. The PC experience hasn't changed much in a long time. The future of windows in the corporate world is cloud first and access to your 'session' and files from any device. This is t

    I think Seattle public schools like most big districts have two somewhat separate populations. Those who are intelligent and motivated and those who are not. The less they mix the better.
