Article aside, I think you're making a great point. Upworthy has been incredibly successful using A/B testing with their headlines to get traction on basically any article, to the point that other larger media companies are taking

Google has an incredible user experience considering its depth (although many would argue that being feature rich is a negative when it comes to user experience design, take Netflix's UI for example, which has only become simpler over

Does anyone have an example of what a spear phishing attack looks like? I've always thought that it would be easily recognizable, but I've realized that's a naive view.

No we definitely don't. (perhaps only in rare cases) The Math Curriculum at my high school was as follows: * 9th Grade - Algebra * 10th Grade - Geometry and Proofs * 11th Grade - Pre-Calculus * 12th Grade - Calculus It would have made

I don't buy it. You only need to workout about 30min a day, 3-4 times a week to stay in decent shape. Maybe an hour if you include prep and showering. That's only a few hours of your leisure time a week you might be missing out on

Is it possible that Snapchat is interested in slightly more than money? When a few 20-something year olds get valued at ~$3 Billion, I think it's fairly likely that they've made some money already, probably to the point that they

Please forgive what may sound like an ignorant comment: What if we ignored the NSA and security issues to think about the potential for new technology like this. If you never had to locally own your data, what could be possible? How light c

I'm afraid you may have missed the point that Apple makes with creating "walled gardens" with their products, and also what it means that Motorola is releasing a phone with modularity. Apple provides its customers focus. Rath

This was literally a homework assignment in a security course I took during undergrad so excuse me if I'm not impressed. Also, from the comments it's clear that the benefits of Captchas are being overlooked. Google purchased ReCap

Exactly, and it's amazing. POC is there. I don't think there's anything terrifying about it.

Let me expand. From a manufacturing and design standpoint, it would be fairly easy to build some standardized components for touchscreens that different car companies can implement. They can then differentiate based on software (taking a le

Touch-screens in cars feels like an impressively obvious idea.

I think HN recommends not using link shorteners. It's nice to know that people aren't tracking your clicks.

Would anyone mind elaborating on how the current bubble could compare to the DotCom bubble? I could see them being similar because they are both related to tech, but for some reason I don't feel too scared right now (the DotCom bubble

This is a pretty negative portrayal (obviously) of the dark side of social media. I think that it should be taken that people should be careful about getting too sucked in rather than thinking that social media is "evil". A lot of

I totally agree. I think it's easier to put a dystopian view on smartphones, but there are utopian perspectives as well. We can use technology to stay in touch with the important people in our lives, and share beautiful moments. I&#x27

Same. It'd be helpful if they'd have a permalink for the email, as I'd imagine a lot of developers (including myself) have/will post to hacker news.

I said what I meant. And I think you're implying that the government doesn't use the same backdoors and web surveillance strategies that all black hats (anyone really) has the ability to deploy.
