Checkout passage: https://github.com/FiloSottile/passage which has done part of this by using age instead of pgp. I used it for a while, and last I checked there was sadly no andro…

Not even curl can connect... seems whatever this is on about isn't important enough for them to let people even try to read.

It appears that the public side of X is sent as the first part of the handshake, without any login info yet, and can be verified as part of B, thus a varying X would be easy to det…

looking at it from a high level, it doesn't appear the final token ever leaves the client till it's being redeemed. There's a middle step that does get signed, but this part is not…

Assuming the cryptography does what they say it does (am not a cryptography expert, so I can't verify that part), this would completely disjoin a search request from any account in…

Part of a library's primary purposes is the preservation of history and culture. In the modern cycle, one of a company's largest competitors is their own history and back catalog. …

As I mentioned in a sibling comment, the entirety of IA's existence is a "critical failure of risk assessment" now. Their existence forces companies to deal with the one competitor…

Probably they're thinking "This person brought us something that is about to be extinct, our job is to keep things from going extinct." The entirety of IA is the idea that culture …

The sought damages is $621 Million. Internet Archive reported having about $7 Million in assets and $30 Million in revenue (for those who accidentally read over that, revenue is be…

> why don't we see HN crying about the need to show a national ID ... when buying a mobile phone? Mmm, very possibly because there are at least a few ways to get a phone without us…

I think maybe it's easier to realize you don't care when working apart from a company structure. I suspect most people don't care nearly as much about the company as the company wo…

> they affect less than a hundredth of a percent of Android devices, and do not matter. 2 reasons I can confidently disagree: 1. Unlike desktop platforms, most android devices ceas…

I'd argue the line gets drawn when the driver is barred from stopping the distracting element themselves. Everything else can be stopped, disabled,refused, or removed by the driver…

Why is digital scarcity a good thing? Why is scarcity at all a good thing? Is there any reason for this, outside of trying to sell them at an ever higher price? And how does sharin…

You're not entirely wrong, but often these AI systems need some pretty clear audio to work. It's kinda shocking how good we are at working around bad audio when it comes to convers…

Oh it definitely is, it's just also a requirement for reasonable living in most of the US too. It's not a good combo.

Someone want to setup a wiki for this? Seems like a good place for things like replacing the head unit correctly or other "make it my own" instructions.

Thing is, we do have that "document API". CAN bus has been a thing for a long time (and is still in use even today), and has documented ways of communicating with everything modern…

Ignoring the problematic details of this specific implementation (Seriously? they didn't make encryption the first thing to implement?), I think the biggest thing to remember is th…

Exact source is a bit convoluted, because most US law is convoluted, but is covered in multiple subsections of section 1201 of Public Law 105–304 (the technical name for DMCA). The…

FreeCAD has some pretty hefty backing from the likes of Opulo, and a history (like KiCAD) of working with CERN and other groups like them. Fusion def has a larger laundry list of f…

Good news on that front, FreeCAD is working on adding an official Assembly workbench as we speak. They added OndselSolver as the core back in november, and seem to be working to ad…

> This reads paranoid and hyperbolic. It does read paranoid, because the whole things should be ridiculous in a sane world. That's part of the problem. This shouldn't even be a con…

Two years ago I spend nearly a month hunting for a decent electric vehicle. I had plenty of funds, and could theoretically afford a lower-end tesla. I was, at the time, driving a 2…

I don't think Twitch fits the other definitions, 22675(e)(2)(b) probably could be argued to not fit with Twitch.
