You actually don’t need any data plan to call emergency services, 112 is literally baked into the GSM standard. As long as the phone (or car) can connect to a network, it can call …

What? It saved the brand. It's their best selling model ever.

As a side note, is there any online community where you find people willing to do this? I’ve always struggled most with finding people eager to play and create music, especially as…

We definitely must come from different cultures because I raised my eyebrow quite high reading your comment. My family, close friends, and my partner will definitely tell me when I…

Sources needed.

The amount of negativity your positive comment has received looks almost overwhelming. I remember HN being a much happier place a few years ago. Perhaps I should take a break from …

> .NET I think you haven't used .NET in a while. Nowadays, logging is absurdly easy to configure. Heck, you usually don't even need to configure it, because the basics are already …

This is much, much less than I would've guessed. I thought the new UI is universally hated. I should leave my bubble more often.

Where did you get those numbers from? 10k words is generally considered a CEFR B2/C1 level which already is a fluent level. Semi-fluent, depending on how you describe it, is anywhe…

I guess you are right. It's trust-based. For an actual obfuscation Signal would need to implement something like onion routing, right? I think Session does it.

Well, TIL. That does not refute my comment, though. Signal still does not know who you chat with. It's the cloud provider who might log the IP address of the sender. Identifying th…

Signal does not know who you correspond with. The only information they keep is the account creation timestamp, and the date that the account last connected to the Signal service. …

May I suggest creating an option to add waypoints which should help recreate bus routes?

It actually is. The design is just a small part of the control's cost. Then it has to go through a lot of compliance tests (the controls can't be flammable, can't break easily into…

Telegram's encryption is opt-in which means most people don't use the encrypted chats at all.

Signal is private, but not anonymous. Related, but two different things.

I think the related term, the escalation of commitment, suits this better.

You've said it yourself why they wouldn't want to say those things, and yet you expected them to say them. Forcing your opponent to say things that will be cherry picked by the med…

A few years ago, when I was studying, my friend and I did a project on that in Xamarin. It took us two evenings, and the accuracy was 300 meters at worst, and 30 meters at best. It…

Come on, Facebook is not doing this out of goodness of their hearts. They have some hidden motive (e.g. EEE, data scraping), as always, and it's good people finally don't trust the…

Well, not really. Tainted coins is a real, growing problem that BTC hasn't solved yet. In short, BTC is not fungible.

There was a P2P Reddit alternative some time ago. The problem with it was that you had to install a program on your computer, so it can sync with the network. I doubt it still exis…

Why is a simple typing tutorial webpage forcing me to sign in with Google? This is ridiculous.
