How do you know anything? How do I know that you're talking about my comment and not, say, explaining the lifecycle of the sabre-toothed tiger? At some point you have to rely on individual understanding of language.

Should we allow all viewpoints to be conveyed? Should we allow the viewpoint that Hitler did nothing wrong? Or that your parents were chimpanzees? Or that you're a fuckhead? I don't see how "be civil" and "allow stating all viewpoints" can possibly be compatible.
Stolen iPhones should be worthless.

Apple need to create a system where stolen phones can be reported to them, Apple can then contact the owner/verify they are stolen. And then add them to a stolen list and disable calling/apps on those phones. And display an overlay on the screen THIS PHONE IS STOLEN.

Every iphone would come with an validate phone feature that is accessible even when locked that can authenticate the iPhone for anyone thinking of buying it.

The potential buyer can check if the iPhone is stolen by using the feature that is allowed to connect to the internet and validate the phone.

They need to make it where stolen iPhones are worthless so when you are getting mugged criminals won't even want it.

Obviously have an option setup where you can transfer ownership of your phone. Maybe with a 7 day waiting period.

Medical is just an example of the economist not understanding the product vs the buzzline. It is a terrible tech implementation for medical, but I agree that you generally want medical encrypted. However, if you are talking medical, the cost of the sensor device is tiny compared to other costs even for very expensive sensors.

Fuse based programming would have a whole host of issues. You either need a destructive fill device or load at the factory. If you load at the factory you have to trust them to not retain copies, keeping in mind that it will probably me manufactured in China. If you use a fill device you open up for destructive programming (IC fuses) you open up a bunch of liability for accidental damage to the device plus the cost of a technician plus training can quickly swamp out the cost of your low cost sensor network.

Finally, these sorts of networks work best with asynchronous uni-diretional communication applications. This makes good crypto-practices very difficult. If you chose full crypto and handshake protocols, the amount of data you spend just exchanging keys and handshakes will exceed the data the sensors collect.
LibreOffice suffers from it's terrible scripting language. Compared to VBA it is wordy, non-obvious, and in general a royal PITA to work with.

"willing to install their own OS" saved you from trolling here. Need I remind you however how miniscule that audience is? Shouldn't we strive to make privacy available for all mothers and grandmothers out there as well?

Yeah. Right after I finish my work day and when I only need rest and relaxation. Oh wait.
It's always been easy for me, too. I recently got a Nexus card which makes it so I don't even have to talk to a real person when arriving in Canada (at least via air). Literally just two questions in a kiosk and hand someone a receipt. Of course that means the governments of Canada and the US did a background check and recorded my fingerprints and retinas, but I'm fine with that, personally.
I want this, and also the ability to secure different areas of my phone.

I want to be able to set touch or PINs for certain apps, so that I can have multi level security. Why is there so much emphasis on one master password/touch ID/face ID instead of having multiple security checks?
Thanks for replying and explaining the down vote. I'm a DoD contractor for now, and I think what happened regarding the marketing style is that I was still in my 'office' voice, which is by nature always marketing, and I was also talking about a product I am excited about. I know it's hard to believe, but that was actually typed out, not copy pasted. DoD contracting is a different world and when there I have to write like that..my brain just hadn't clicked over from a DoD mindset to a startup mindset.

Which is ironic, because a good chunk of my success as a contractor is improving DoD projects I work on by applying the stuff I've learned from the startup community through HN, blogs, and friends doing startups.

You are also right regarding evolution, it's not the right word and I should have taken the time to come up with the right word - since it can't be evolution as Gradle came after Maven. Also, I was responding to a comment thread that had already started to drift from the GP to be on Maven vs. Gradle, and shouldn't have drifted it further.

To answer your question on the profile.. I had an aborted attempt to do a startup when the company I was with changed their IPR terms at the same time my parents died, and I wound up putting that dream on the shelf until I left that company. For various reasons (family medical costs among them) I wasn't able to go all-in 100% on my startup.

I appreciate the help, and will make sure I change hats before commenting in the future. To end on a smile, I'll show why this will be harder than you might think. Writing the first sentence I had a brief moment where I was about to type "Your help is greatly appreciated. I'll ensure my comments are of higher quality in the future, and carefully consider the content of future postings". Then I realized I was doing it again.

Remember peace is most probably a byproduct of total US hegemony. Russia and China have been very peaceful last 30 years and they were not dominated. So I wouldn't attribute the peace of the world to the "invisible US hand"...
Likely correct. I'm part of a grant writing firm (http://www.seliger.com) and in the '90s and early 2000s we ran tons of stuff on Access. Now almost everything we did then runs on Highrise, Constant Contact / Mail Chimp, and the like. Basically, everything we did became a web app that works better and is easier (at least for us) to use.
Stop perpetuating this myth that you have to mess around and tinker to keep Arch in working condition. It's one update command, and it's not something you need to do daily. You can put it off for weeks, all that will happen is you'll have a bigger download.

Yeah, sure, what I meant by 'get it' is not how long have you been using the system, (I still don't get Windows), but whether you connected with the way the developers meant it to be used, i.e. if it became second nature.

I am just sharing an experience that I had it similar, but not anymore, I definitely don't find it requiring sysadmin amount of work to maintain, my daily routine is: read archlinux.org, pacman -Syu, pacdiff, very occasional manual step that took me 5mins - I know it may not be like that for everyone, but not everybody also has the issues you described, is my point.
I may try that next time. I'm a beginner and used https://arch-anywhere.org/ to install. It was as easy for me as installing Ubuntu.

That's fair.

I suppose a more polite version would run only when the tab is in focus. But as has been pointed out, this doesn't seem feasible because of the tiny amount of value generated so I think it's an interesting idea to explore more than anything else.

I'm a big fan of the Arch User Repository (AUR). But Arch itself takes too long to configure and breaks from time to time so I switched to Manjaro which is based on Arch but has its own repos with more config files already prepared for you. Also it's not rolling release but updates once a week which allows the maintainers to check for errors before they reach the users.

Because of the AUR I actually think Manjaro can be more user friendly than distros like Ubuntu. While using Ubuntu I remember constantly having to deal with PPAs which were broken/outdated after every update. On Manjaro I can just hit 'Install' in the GUI and don't have to worry about PPAs. I even found a package specific to my university that sets up the Wlan and other things. On Ubuntu finding such an unknown, rarely used package would be much harder.
Thanx, I will try and follow your steps. At the moment I'm having a short affair with Solus (Budgie although I prefer their Mate implementation I didn't get acpi working there) which may turn into a full relationship by the looks of things. But if she lets me down Arch is always there for me.
> The cryptocurrency traded at $3,601.40 at 7:58 a.m. in New York, far below an all-time high of $5,013.91 set earlier this month.

That's a 28% drop from the high. For normal securities a price drop like that in less than a month would be considered a crash.

Does it count for BTC as well or are the elevated levels at the start of the month with too thin a volume to be considered legit?
I tried Debian about a year ago hoping to share your insight, but I discovered that if I wanted to understand how to configure some piece of software, I had to look at both the Debian documentation and the upstream documentation for it, and I found that creating custom packages was harder, or at least harder to learn (when I made my first arch package, it took me less than an hour to figure out how ABS works, and packaging a deb seemed much more arcane). I stuck with it for a month, but ultimately found it to be an inferior experience.

It doesn't have to. For 99.999% people, the two most realistic threats are:

* You use the same password on many sites, one gets compromised, and automated bots try to access your Dropbox account.

I'm thinking of a situation when the phone, for example, is not enough for them. What if the don't leave you alone after that? What if you're a girl and they are going to try to rape you? What I'm thinking of is not about a "fancy" help-me-I'm-being-mugged "duck-face" pose, but actually a face pattern which, simple enough, could offer assistance in a difficult situation. What if they take away the phone and I'm left with no change of calling for an ambulance?

You are right, though, that this requires some "friction" and probably some self control.
1 in 1 million FAR (false acceptance rate) vs 1 in 50,000 is pretty misleading (as is Apple tradition).

Do you think someone trying to hack into your phone would shoot 1 million random pictures/3D profiles made from Facebook pictures at your phone, or do you think it's far more likely they will already start with your profile made from online pictures?

That will likely make the success rate even higher than with fingerprints, as it's significantly easier to get someone's photos than it is to get their fingerprints.

> Laughs were had, jokes were made but the underlying message was that Face ID isn't foolproof. Just like Touch ID. And PINs.

No, not "just like". There is a huge difference between most fingerprint authentication mechanisms and most face unlock mechanisms (at least so far). Most of them could be tricked with a 2D picture - including Samsung's latest. It's very annoying to see such a statement from someone like Troy Hunt. Plus, I have a hunch he'll be eating many of the words he wrote in a few weeks when Face ID will prove much easier to hack than Apple made everyone believe it will be.

They didn't ban the use in general, people are free to continue Kaspersky privately. They banned the use by US government agencies.

Of course, other governments should ban the use of US products if they believe that the US might use them as entry doors for espionage. It boils down to whom you consider your ally or not.

If you're a non American government agency using American software or hardware you should absolutely be concerned about American intelligence services co-oping them.

I think there is a significant difference in extent. There are certainly many cases where US corp media lays obediently in the government's lap, but there are also some crucial cases where it was majorly non-compliant - TV coverage of the Vietnam war being possibly the most significant & influential example.

I'd be wary of specialising too much at this point. Maybe choose a bachelor's course with a good balance of subjects, and specialise when/if you want to take your studies further.
