> An attacker can read this token if he has access to the user's phone.

> the app will prompt the user to enter his password again, providing the perfect opportunity to collect the user's password. Attackers also modify the Tesla app's source code to steal login data

Come on, if an attacker has access to an unlocked phone there are far more valuable targets than a "connected car" that can possibly be remote disabled any time.

The chain of dependencies outlined in the article is borderline ridiculous.
Sadly, CNN, fox, CBS, Huffington Post, et all spread sensationalized fake news for the last 8 years (while ignoring Obama's abuses with the NSA, TPP, executive orders, ect) and this only has become an issue since Trump was elected. The train left the station a long time ago, but was willfully ignored. There simply is no integrity in reporting these days, though I would grateful to be proven wrong.
It was just an overreaction (and a pretty understandable one) because he is so pissed off at Reddit.

No it isn't, and then wouldn't the same standard follow for stating that people who disagree with you hate democracy and don't care about the planet? You don't beat the pc police and progressive echo chamber by playing their stupid game of "civil discourse." You kick them in the cunt with a picture of Mohammed wearing black face, shouting so loud that they can't drown you out. The answer to smug censorship is an alliance of all the disdainful, distasteful, and disrespectful asshole who won't be told what to think trolling the comments of any masturbatory "article" that treats dissenters like sub human scum. It works, and we're winning, because it turns out that elitist condescension loses to antiestablishment rage.
Anxiety disorder just sucks, because there's no way to rationalize it or the depression that often engenders.

It's fortunate that this couple were able to figure out what was happening and can now talk about this openly. Normalizing the open discussion of mental illness is key to helping so many people who currently suffer in silence.

There is a nonprofit initiative in the tech world which encourages open discussion for this purpose: Open Sourcing Mental Illness [1]. I've been privileged to share my story of Generalized Anxiety Disorder with tech audiences in the run-up to this being launched, and I've heard so many humbling stories from others. It is having a positive impact, and I hope others will see the initiative or the presentations and feel that they can discuss what's happening with them or make it clear that others should feel okay to talk about their experiences.

Above all: if you are in pain, in worry, in doubt, etc., please reach out for help. The difference between silent suffering and a life enjoyed can start there.

Dramatic enough for frequent visitors. Forums are dime a dozen, but a community you get used to and grow to like is unique for you. If HN was to be suddenly shut down, I'd literally be heartbroken.
Of course they do. Remember, when you share your data with a company, you are not sharing that data with the manifestation of the company that you know, and perhaps trust. You are also sharing that data with all future iterations of that company, all future owners, many future employees of that company, and many future partners of that company. Any of which may be terrible, and only one needs to be.

If you work on the back end of services, especially consumer services, it is important that you take charge of pushing back on data collection. Your managers probably don't have enough industry context. They will not know the long failed history of data anonymization. Your co-workers may not have thought about the possibilities of parallel construction. It is your responsibility to consistently, thoughtfully, impress upon people the necessity to collect the minimum amount of data, as well as the utility of deleting it as soon as possible.
Certainly true of the libertarian right, but not of the social conservative right, who have been rather inconsistent in opposing "FCC legislating TV language and obscenity" and "DEA or Department of Health legislating controlled substances".

This is extremely disingenuous.

1. Fakenews sites are webspam sites that run entirely fabricated stories as if they're news. For instance: the often-repeated claim that HRC was involved in the death of an FBI agent was fabricated by a person who admits to doing it and made tens of thousands of dollars posting that and stories like that to Wordpress sites they set up with official sounding names like "The Denver Guardian", counting on the fact that people in other media markets wouldn't know there was no such publication. Nothing the Clinton campaign did is anything like that.

2. The Clinton campaign and PACs supporting that campaign are not "the US government" --- nor is the Washington Post, which is an independent media outlet that routinely runs stories critical of the US Government (as you are about to see even more clearly during the next four years).

The equivalences you are posing here are so false as to approach trolling.

The story posted here might be wrong, or it might be inappropriate for HN. You can write a comment in good faith challenging the story. You can flag the story. What you can't reasonably do is express your displeasure by trolling the thread. Please stop doing that. You do it a lot.

Sometimes your initial unconscious reaction is the right one to pay attention to. Being watched, in our distant evolutionary past, would often have been a prelude to being hunted - and it still is in this case. The sabre-toothed tiger might decide not to attack you - but you won't know that until it has attacked you.

And besides, though you might very well prefer not to have secrets, you should extend that to those watching you.

A few weeks ago, a deep learning researcher at one of the world's leading speech groups told me off-the-record that offline, human-parity speech recognition would be "coming soon" to mobile devices. Not sure s/he realized just how soon that would be. Even though state-of-the-art ASR is really expensive to train, recognition is extremely cheap to run, even on lower-power devices. [1][2] With specialized silicon, you can do this, continuously, for free, on something like a smartwatch. You don't need to open a websocket or call an API running on some beefy server to do this, speech-to-text is now a basic commodity. Fully offline, ubiquitous speech recognition is right around the corner. With human-level speech synthesis [3], speech applications are going to get very interesting, very quickly.

Everyone adjusts to somebody else - it's not gross at all :)

That's just every human relationship I've ever heard of.

It sounds like you're inside your head a lot - I'd suggest finding extremely simple activities you enjoy - like going for a walk 2x/day.

When you don't walk around outside and get some sun - you won't feel so good.

I've relatively recently moved from a busy downtown corner to a quiet place by a huge park - it's changed my life a great deal because I now enjoy going for my walks way more.

It's good that you've met a girl - that you think 'why would someone be nice to me?' is a sign of a great number of negative beliefs in your head, that are not true :)

People talk to other people because they're bored, you don't have to be good at anything to have someone pass the time by talking to you.

I hope you figure it out and again, small steps toward activities you enjoy, that involve being outside, and around small groups of people, would be my suggestions.

"Internet is ability of everyone to send any packet to any part of the world. Thats what matters. What someone builds on top of it and/or how open/close, It still does not negate that characterstics of Internet"

Internet is a set of protocols run on top of huge pipes that interconnect across many companies, nationalities, etc. They all speak common language. You're trying to oversimplify it to expand on your false argument. What I just described was only achieved once... by governments & companies making money off government projects. No private industry has duplicated it.

Closest thing was the cell phone industry where they limited what type of traffic, kept the bandwidth minimal for high profit, charged per amount of data, and so on. They eventually started looking more like the Internet by internally using Internet technologies funded by DARPA, NSF, etc. Originally, though, their model couldn't have created something like we see with the Web or Internet-run commerce. Just like MA Bell before them with their schemes.

Private sector wouldn't have built the Internet on their own since it's too risky and costly with 3rd parties getting most of the benefit. Government did it better.

"What someone builds on top of it and/or how open/close, It still does not negate that characterstics of Internet."

It does within what they build. Much of online activity has transistioned from purely Internet technologies to Web technologies. Companies like Facebook and Slack are where content and activity is going instead of HTML web sites and IRC. The result is people are locked in to vendors to just get what experiences they allow in their walled gardens. With most Internet tech, I could just move everything I had to a different client or server if what I was using wasn't good enough. Standard protocols existed to help. Private sector prefers the opposite as lock-in equals more money.

So, they fail twice: preventing something like the Internet from occurring until government did it; trying to turn it back into wall gardens of the past albeit with web browsers and more graphics.

The /r/golang subreddit is for devs who want answers and who don't want to be held up by the whims of stackoverflow mods. It isn't rocket science and even if we can't trust the answers, why would anyone edit the answers? If you remember, the reddit CEO only edited the usernames, that too, I am sure it was a prank.

If anyone edits the messages which we post on /r/golang, it will lead to the answer being invalid and or something else, the world isn't going to collapse, there won't be congressional hearings just because some dev wasn't able to run gofmt and the answer posted by another random guy on the Internet was changed and can't be "trusted".

We want answers on /r/golang and it isn't much about trust.

Thank you for no longer proposing to delete it.
There is no good decision that can be made here. Spez was wrong and abused his position. But taking an action against reddit will be seen as a 'win' by the people who started the abusive false pedophilia accusations.

I don't know what the correct answer is other than to say that everyone currently involed looks bad, and anyone who jumps in will come off looking bad. Is the only thing we can do stand back and watch it burn?
The design of listing supposedly identical products by multiple vendors under the same entry needs to be revisited.

It's great for competition and price pressure, but completely fails when dealing with generic items and vendors aren't held to account for outright fraud.
There is a huge difference between fakenews, like the "Denver Guardian" fake newspaper site that ran stories about HRC being involved in the death of FBI agents in order to rack up tens of thousands of dollars from impressions, and sensationalized news.

Every time this topic comes up, we have to tediously explain the difference, not because the difference is hard to understand, but because people seize on the name "fake news" as an excuse to attack the media. There's nothing wrong with media criticism, but you shouldn't write it in a way that obscures to readers what these stories are actually about --- webspam farms running entirely fabricated stories.

> One of the things about the model 3 that bothered me was that there was only one display between the driver and passenger.

That's been a problem with low-end Toyotas for years, starting with Scion back in 2004. Apparently Toyota wanted to save costs by having the same dash configuration for both left-hand drive and right-hand drive models, so they put the display in the middle.

> so that the driver can "see through" the car without obstruction

It would certainly mitigate the effects of very stringent rollover and SUV-centric standards, such as high belt lines and massive pillars.

I interviewed with google, once. I enjoyed the process more than most here, though in some ways, that really just shows how badly I've been treated in other interviews.

It's not really an interview. This is the hardest thing for people outside our field to understand when they hear the word "interview". Our interviews are essentially exams, and google is probably the purest form of the interview as exam style of hiring. I studied data structures and algorithms, and took series of four one-hour oral whiteboard exams. I was treated politely and well, and had a nice lunch.

Really, they're exams. You might spend less than 5% of your time talking about the job, your background, your interest. You show up, they test you at the whiteboard.

I was a no hire. This is fine, but the secrecy around the exam and feedback, I think, reflects what's so wrong with this situation. There are, as I understand, actual numerical scores and notes about me and my performance in a database at google, along with images of the solutions I wrote on the whiteboard. However, I am not allowed to know anything about these scores or notes.

Imagine if you took the LSAT and applied to law schools, only to be rejected with the reason that your scores "weren't what we're looking for", but you aren't allowed to know what your score actually was! Or, perhaps, that you sat for your nursing or medical boards, and were told "you were strong in some areas and clearly studied hard, but we've decided not to allow you to become a physician or nurse at this time..."

I've written a bit about all this on HN before - our severe problem here is that we take exams, under conditions that many people view as very stressful, but with absolutely none of the rights that are often accorded a student. No clear study path, no information about who will be grading you or what that person's qualifications are, and - most importantly - no right to understand how you were graded or why you passed or failed.

This is what I don't want to participate in anymore. I'm nearing the point where I would rather leave the field than be a part of it.

That last part drives me especially nuts, because google is one of the companies constantly beating the drum about a "shortage" of developers. Do they not see how their own behavior contributes to this shortage?
If I saw something like that, I'd format my drive and install another OS.

The very idea of your shell or file listing program sending analytics to the mothership is ridiculous. They shouldn't be even talking to a network directly. They have a set of well-defined tasks, and spying on you is not one of them.
Actually I think we got a better chance of creating a self replicating factory than AGI. We have robots and materials, we just need to make the whole system 100% automated, and it's looking good with all the 3d printing and CNC innovations.

Such a self replicating factory would be organized like a computer. It would have memory, which will be the storage space, and a data bus, which is the logistics system, and a CPU which is the collection of processing units (3d printers, cnc, ovens, presses, etc). We will program it with an API and define products like we define software, then the factory would compile it to production and actually produce it. When the factory is able to reproduce its own tools, it can create more of itself and jumpstart the process.

You could also say it works like a cell or an organism - self reproducing, self healing, able to survive. We're self reproducing factories ourselves. It's the birth of a new life form, when robots don't need us to reproduce and repair themselves.
If you have no interpreters & sane defaults in config, then there aren't many ways to take over your computer. They basically always exploited a vulnerability in the applications that let them run code. That either was in privileged one they wanted to be in or was a step toward one. Blocking code injection in apps would knock out vast majority of severe CVE's I've seen that relate to apps.

Far as finite amount, the vulnerabilities coming in fall into similar patterns enough that people are making taxonomies of them.

"The problem with this is, do you want every program you ever use, to start prompting you with a series of questions about various opt-in / opt-out questions?"

Simple answer, Yes.

It would lead to conversations about the elephant in the room. It also alleviates the assumption I trust all providers(comprehend the EULA/ToS) and puts their actions under scrutiny. If more people realized what data is collected and by whom for whom they could make an informed, cost/benefit choice. Other useful results are, what is the applicability of that data to the project, what characteristics define the 'Trusted Partners' that data is shared with and, possibly, inject some restraint into the collectors' decisions of what to collect.

More like acquiescing to Apple's demands that Google do that, and they did quite actively, but not at his/Google's initiation. Which doesn't change the crime that much.

The greater point is that the CEO of a company with digital user assets, let me call them, can be thoroughly evil, while company policy and enforcement keeps his hands from directly tampering with those assets.

Silently changing someone's postings is one of the vilest betrayals of trust a platform can commit, the only worst I can think of is forging new ones out of whole cloth, and if that happens without major changes resulting in the company, that says a great deal about it as a whole, and whether you should have any dealings with it, especially seeing as such assets have been used to criminally convict people, and specifically one Rowan O'Connell for this company.
