Security-critical software is best when it's obvious how to use it, and how not to, which is easier with a focused tool. I feel like GPG has so many features that it's hard to look things up in a manual, or to make use of shell tab-completion, or to get a clear mental picture of its possible failure modes.
I think self driving can work with AGI to match a horse. It doesn't need to understand with a depth and clarity of a human.

That is still a pretty high ask for current software.

These comments about this common word are more suited to the middle school lunchroom than a forum such as this.
> The fact that Samsung is even capable of doing this means you don't have control over your Samsung TV even if you do own it legally.

It actually true for any smart device now a days. Apple can do same for an iPhone.
No need to criticize people for not having seen it, but yes, good example. Also features into Coming to America and its sequel.
> I know it sounds very 1984ish but honestly I don't think it's any worst than the kind of surveillance power google has with all their platforms combined (chrome, android, google, any web thing they didn't kill already).

This should give you pause.

Why do you think something that sounds 1984ish should be acceptable to anyone? Why is it acceptable to you?

The fact that other companies also have advanced surveillance power should be reason to push back on that as well, not to cede more ground to surveillance.

I guess your logic doesn't make any kind of sense to me.
I won't buy appliances anywhere other than Costco for this reason. No-questions-asked returns for 90 days on appliances, and a year on most other items. Extended warranty for several years for free if you use their credit card, too.
If you have property rights and the rule of law. Otherwise, when you've bought land, you actually own nothing.
Unless an API you're looking at requires/supports attestation via SafetyNet or you're willing to proxy via your own server this is likely not an option.

Additionally, while it's true (to my knowledge) that re-implementing a full safteynet spoof is not currently publicly available, a combination of Frida and MagiskHide is able to bypass SafetyNet for dynamic RE purposes, just launch the app as normal with MagiskHide enabled then attach to it with Frida as root. If they enforce full hardware attestation this may change in the future, but right now we're good.
dark thought but I've had multiple instances in last year+ where someone hasn't posted in awhile, tweeted etc and I wonder for a second, maybe they died? The pandemic is real. And random ppl disappearing unexpectedly is part of it.

Good luck with that.

"Smart" is just a fancy marketing word for better features and richer experience. Smart TVs and smartphones are not smart. Smart is someone or something who exhibits high degree of intelligence which no computer has right now.
Funny, I began reading Yudkowsky's "Map and Territory", in the preface there is this sentence:

> For if you can't trust your brain, can you trust anything else?

Which basically means, if the brain can't trust the brain, can the brain trust another brain?

Yes slightly tortured, but only to fit :D

I think the lack of channel history is a big showstopper for many people but personally I think that's a feature. The idea that I should have to dig through slack history and its rambling conversation format to find information pertinent to my work is downright dumb.
I don't get it. You're still fed ads either way? Why do they care?
Smart everything enables things to control your behavior, to spy and then to report on you. I haven't ditched my smartphone yet but am using it less often and hold onto a phone till it becomes utterly obsolete (Currently an IPhone SE, still good for me). A smart TV would never be on my buy list. First of all I haven't a TV since they weren't so smart, last TV I had was a CRT in the 2000s. I noticed the difference without one. When I quit TV it was because it was toxic and I presume it has gotten worse since. I do own a projector and fire it up occasionally to watch a movie with the family but it's not on on a daily basis.

They've all been reported stolen. That already satisfies the burden of proof in Samsung's view. What more proof do you want Samsung to have? They can't prove customers don't have a receipt. It's up to the potential legitimate customer to overcome Samsung's evidence.

Also recent riots change recent behavior. Why would I construct a new system and buy equipment to do business if I now believe that the government that I pay taxes to won't defend the business from lawless riots. Additionally, why throw good money after bad? If the situation changes on the ground such that a reasonable investment becomes a very poor investment due to the recently changed probability of recouping my costs, why would I pour money into that?

Something of this phenomenon was found in the Scottish/English borderlanders as written of in "The Steel Bonnets: The Story of the Anglo-Scottish Border Reivers" . They didn't grow as many crops ( an investment). The Scots were at times driven to only producing assets that they could carry or drive before them such as livestock.

In January 2021, they would not let me create virtual cards for my consulting business because I did not have a $250K cash balance in my business bank account. The Ramp support guy said he didn’t know of any similar service that did not have such a requirement. After that I discovered Stripe easily provided that service for my business with no threshold at all and wrote back to let him know and he was very surprised I could get that without even having a Stripe merchant account.

Considering how difficult is to follow lengthy posts that are split up in reverse chronological order, and how unintuitive it is to find replies, I surely disagree. The medium is very poor for centralized discussion of a single topic, in contrast to something like a single Reddit or HN article.
Part of driving well requires a diverse of array of abilities, right? You know what is litter and what is debris because you can make a guess about material properties based on some observations, like looking at something that moves without being touched and is translucent, you probably conclude that its a plastic bag of some sort and not a hazard. Similarly you probably use a wealth of experience to judge that a small piece of tire is not a hazard, but a chunk is a hazard and a whole one is definitely a hazard.

Or, on seeing an anomalous <children's toy> enter the road you can probably guess that a child might follow shortly after.

I'm not suggesting that the problem cannot be solved without AGI, but you can see why some people might think that though, right?

My personal feeling is that we shouldn't be setting the bar at making a car that can handle any situation anywhere way better than any human at any time, but that we should also try to make roads that are more suitable for self driving vehicles. I'd rather we move to driving agents that don't get bored, frustrated, or angry.
Great questions. The Apple Watch is a single lead, so doesn't have the resolution to do the computations. Also, the algorithms aren't trivial for automation this, but the data moat is extremely important for capturing and appropriately testing this population. There is prior art, which our own filing took into accout. Lastly, the hardware devices we use are all FDA approved to measure the appropriate interval, one of which is FDA approved 12-lead ECG patch approved for patient self-administration.

IMEI blacklisting has nothing to do with private information or user of previous phone number, it does not try to do that, it's a technique that attempts to prevent stolen phones to be used by anyone as the operators would refuse to allow that device (identified by the device's IMEI number) to connect to their network.
Good to know. Can you explain the difference between a permissionless transaction and the economic theory of supply and demand?
I am not denying the existence of this or any other definition. You're arguing with yourself on that front.

We're stating the fact that that specific usage/definition is not really used at all anymore, to the point that "intercourse" is generally used for the other definition of sexual activity. "Public intercourse" is significantly likely more to be read as "public sex", rather than the intended meaning of "public discourse".

It is perfectly reasonable to suggest a correction, because communication with people is about understanding... not being technically correct to win an argument.

I think you are right that many therapists expect their clients to adopt a position of helplessness and submission, and label them as uncooperative if they don't. We constantly hear about the stigma among men against going to therapy, but no acknowledgment that men's approach to emotions is influenced by the fact that men are the main breadwinners in most households. The typical stoic male approach to emotions isn't just arbitrary "male culture", but a product of the fact that if you as a man can't get out of bed in the morning, people go hungry.

A second, related issue is that the culture of therapy since Freud is heavily influenced by romanticism, a 19th century social and aesthetic movement that prioritized sentimentality and emotion as the source of individual authenticity and creativity. Being in touch with your emotions can be valuable for certain kinds of artistic expression, but in many circles those ideals has become so powerful, they're synonymous with mental health. It shouldn't come as a surprise that the values of the artistic class don't find traction among working class.

That achieves nothing against someone who uses something like apktool/baksmali to do static RE, let alone inject something like Frida to perform dynamic RE. There are even Xposed modules designed to just bypass certificate pinning.

Certificate pinning is a good security measure, but not a counter-RE one.
I would say it's better then the Human's tendency to drive full speed into anything while impaired by a drug. Especially since the bug was fixed in Tesla's case but the bug in Human's case is probably un-fixable.
Do you not believe in property rights? If a stolen car gets resold that doesn’t automatically void the original ownership papers… and that’s the standard practice in every country in the world I think.
This comes from [Keith Richards' autobiography](https://www.keithrichards.com/life), apparently. Here's the full passage:

"Mick and I weren’t on great terms at the time, but I said, c’mon, let’s go out. And I lent him the jacket I got married in. We got back to the hotel about five in the morning and Mick called up Charlie. I said, don’t call him, not at this hour. But he did, and said, ‘Where’s my drummer?’ No answer. He puts the phone down. Mick and I were still sitting there, pretty pissed – give Mick a couple of glasses, he’s gone – when, about twenty minutes later, there was a knock at the door. There was Charlie Watts, Savile Row suit, perfectly dressed, tie, shaved, the whole fucking bit. I could smell the cologne! I opened the door and he didn’t even look at me, he walked straight past me, got hold of Mick and said, ‘Never call me your drummer again.’ Then he hauled him up by the lapels of my jacket and gave him a right hook."
Really? That's dystopian, but in a cool way. A little like Amazons own internet sharing network or what it was.

It's terrible though. We really live in a panopticon now.

It's a thumb shaped peninsula seven miles across with a 922' peak in the middle. Market St runs diagonally through downtown separating two grid systems, the south side of which is offset by about 40 degrees. Columbus St runs diagonally in the opposite direction through Little Italy and China Town, itself a maze of one way streets, ancient buildings, triangular parks and steep hills. The whole thing is cut up by trolly tracks, makeshift bike lanes, and more pedestrians per square foot than most places in the US. Be prepared for your two-lane road to suddenly turn into a one-way street running towards you, seven way intersections, pedestrian traffic that never stops, and lane markers that completely disappear in the rain. On top of everything, intersections are only ever labeled in one corner, but never the same corner, and at least half of the stop signs are behind trees that should have been trimmed five years ago. Also it seems like 10% of drivers are drunk or stoned, and there's a moving van blocking 60% of the road everywhere, all the time.
this post is based on author's experience -- Unicode issues and encoding problems have continued to be a thing well into the 2010s despite unicode gradually becoming the web defacto (in the West anyways) as web 2.0 ran it's course. I haven't worked on a many international language sites in 4 or 5 years as much but so many of those other regions still have allll of the encoding issues and challenges.

Me neither! I got their fridge, and in my case the deicing functionality is faulty. There is a little metal tab behind the back panel that heats up an ice dam to keep the condensation flowing out, that happens to be too short by about 2cm. They skimped on 2cm of aluminum and now I will never buy anything Samsung ever again.

So in short, it seems that they can neither make a proper ice maker nor ice un-maker :-)

The translation is inaccurate.
It means safety in the same way as the salvation of the soul for Christians, but in a non-religious way, and applied to all of society. Yes, they were both quite grandiose in their wordings and full of themselves.

Safety, as it is commonly used, would better be translated, in French, as "sûreté". "Salut" would be a much, much stronger word.

Although I do see your point.

Then the millions of old TV owners sue Samsung for trespass to chattels? That would be a horrible decision both financially and publicity-wise.

The benefit this gives to having a dumb TV is that it makes it more attractive to thieves.
> Wether risk reduction as financial instrument is productive for society can remain open to interpretation. However, it, without a doubt, has value.

That's my original point, I don't believe speculation (and tools to reduce the risk of speculation) is productive. At best, it's a hovering up of the value delta between two actors with differential information.

They CERTAINLY have value, for the financial actors using them. Just it isn't a productivity gain for society as a whole. Certainly gambling isn't.

I for one am glad there is a wide variety of topics of interest posted and discussed here. If we were only pigeonholed into tech topics I would probably get bored of HN.

I did prefer the original title which included the fact that Charlie Watts was the drummer for the Rolling Stones. I didn't know him by name, and adding more context to the title seemed helpful to me at least.

In general I feel like HN suffers from title over-editing, but never from too much variety.

Yes I do think this will boost sign ups. It's free and Tweets, for better or for worse, have come to be a sort of "source material." I think many, particularly younger, news-savvy users will seek to access Twitter.

I also think it greatly boosts Twitter's ability to monetize advertising. That's what make Facebook and Google so valuable (just about everyone is logged into an account).

I am, however, curious how this will impact embedded tweets (in articles, for example).
