How will cutting off immigration do anything? I think it's important to realize that this is something that happens and that you don't necessarily have to do anything . If you get a cold, you don't quarantine your block and

Well, you'll restore the permission if you want to use that app, but if you disable microphone permissions and the app breaks for no reason, do you really want to keep using that app?

Even if this is a real threat vector, I imagine that in the time it would take to make this illegal and try and prosecute even one person, it will have been dealt with naturally by device manufacturers. Already this would be easy to defen

Why? This sort of thing is flashy but not a real danger you need to be concerned about (think shark attack not car crash), so even if you take the premise that mass surveillance could stop it (dubious), it's probably not worth paying m

Do you know people who actually do this? I'm deeply uncomfortable when I get a new phone that doesn't have a CM / custom ROM out yet, because I need to be able to lock everything down myself. I assumed other tech literates di

It's not like he did something really bad, like illegally access a website.

Yeah, all this, "I need Facebook" stuff feels foreign to me. Maybe I'm just a sociopath who doesn't care about his extended network, but I haven't used Facebook in years and I haven't missed it for one second o

Whenever I see one of these MIT press releases, I know to take it with a giant grain of salt. I wonder if HN will eventually start penalizing links from them as low quality.

Maybe it's because I'm a native English speaker with strong writing skills, but I don't think any actual editing of the text has taken place on the journal's side on any paper I've ever been on. Usually the co-autho

Why would they need to physically see him? Can't you just set up a camera?

To be fair, I suspect that content blockers aren't puzzled as to why you would want to block ads. What they're trying to do is make it feel morally/ethically unacceptable to block ads. This is an example of them failing to li

Hey, sorry to derail, but I've been meaning to get back in touch with you, totally weird to see you here. Email me at x1799faa@gmail.com and I'll explain.

That phrase is literally linked to an article called "Sweden: 'We don't accept cash'" ( https://www.credit-suisse.com/us/en/news-and-expertise/econo... ). It seems like what you are say

Awesome. That'll teach me for just being cynical after just skimming over the front page of the mobile site. That said, I'm still pretty skeptical about the grandiose claims about the number of words a child hearing per day and IQ

Is the analytics on the phone or would the user be trusting you with a recording of every private moment of their lives?

I read that statement more as, "If you refuse to pay electronically" than "if you have no electronic means of payment." I know it's contrary to the literal meaning, but it feels like the unstated assumption is that

I'm definitely aware of that case, but I wasn't seriously suggesting that this would pass muster in court, just that this is not a "threat" under the commonly understood definition of threat, and is only on the order of

That is a "threat" only under the loose definition that the government likes to use to arrest facebook users and the like.

I'm not sure that the CIA has ever been a real ally of the people in general, but to the extent that they are, it's similar to the inclusion of the USSR in the Allied Powers during World War II.

I think that makes the unfounded assumption that they don't go any further than the legislation would allow anyway.

I suppose that from a practical perspective they are lucky that the feds didn't abuse their power by treating air traffic violators as if they were deliberately attempting mass murder, but it's a bit disturbing how plausible that

Maybe I just had a good person, but when I cancelled my Comcast, I just called up, they asked why, I said, "That's not important, just cancel it." and they just did it. That said, I think this might have been a few weeks afte

Does anyone know if Google ended up changing their behavior on this? I'm struggling to see why this is a legitimate design decision on their part - how is downloading a new copy every hour different from maintaining a persistent cache

It would suck for existing spectrum holders, but not for the spectrum consumers. The same thing happens with any commodities, anyway. If I just bought a diamond mine and they discover a massive vein of new diamonds in an easily accessible p
