False. 1. Anti-user mechanisms (SafetyNet) annoy users. 2. Even though SafetyNet may not be as annoying as something like UAC, it still has deep reaching effects[1] since now the s…

False. You just want to meta-complain. c0l0 has pointed out how Google(R) MoronNet(TM) in practice usually negates any benefit gained from how virtuous their kernel maintenance pro…

>people are killing themselves because of instagram Literally every social issue on the web for the last 20 years follows this one simple formula: > X causes Y. Yes it sounds stupi…

This only works for so long until the devs get tired of spoonfeeding. More importantly: There shouldn't be subtle nuances in something like a web routing library which is _supposed…

Not without relying on implementation details.

It's more like this: C diehards: Pauses are bad, we need manual memory management. Everyone else: Does not have manual memory management.

> 1 - mandate disclaimers in front of all videos describing the possible negative effects of porn Why would you think this will work? My parents, school, etc already gave you a mil…

How does this have 2.5K upvotes when every single HN related project needs JS and a quad core CPU (for the browser to open a blank page) to view a paragraph of text?

Wow so many commas. Must be good.

Time for a history lesson: 1. Teens had their stupid magazines and MTV before this smart phone crap. 2. The media hyped potential problems of "negative self image blah blah blah" e…

Please tell us a concrete plan on how to "protect children" (a moral appeal) from porn. Name one set of rules that would satisfy your legal appetite.

Look pal, the internet is a tool for exchanging information. Just like the air is a medium for talking in real life. Any sort of legislation like "oh no, you need a XCORP(R) CERTIF…

>[porn companies] need regulation No, nothing needs regulation. Stop making the internet fucking worse. Can we go back to 2000 now (not that it was good then either since the inter…

To take this one step further: Adding surprise semantics like capturing time (and the dev not being aware of it) will lead to security vulnerabilities (side channels because the co…

> No, it isn't. It's a private company determining how and who it conducts business with. Being a 'patrician' of your own property is completely fine and in fact a basic right, and…

It's really cringe. I feel like we'd all be on something like Freenet right now not giving a shit about some company's web hosting server if Napster wasn't intervened.

This title is a good way of phrasing a piece of common sense people have been trying to get rid of. Also similar: "Mechanism not policy" > It is almost impossible to envision all o…

The most annoying thing is that everyone denouncing Apple's action still agree that "CSAM" is a problem that needs action by technology companies (and thus decentralized stuff shou…

> I don't want child porn on my systems. Be very happy if apple helps keep it off them. Apple is scanning your own _personal_ storage for illegal content. It wouldn't be there in t…

Companies change. The sad part is, there is no next company to move to.

I am truly sorry for your loss in that your brain is implemented using regex. I meant "white collar big boys", but I did not bother to edit as I'm writing. The guy above is claimin…

Am I missing something? Apple says they literally scan stuff locally on your iCrap now and call the police on you if you have $badstuff. Nobody should be having their data scanned …

> You can be against this kind of thing from Apple, but as a result more CSAM will be undetected. You cannot claim to be making "the real reasonable analysis" and write this. So mu…

Well, it was succint and other people got it. Some website reporting you to the police for doing something illegal is not the same as your hardware/software being stuffed with snak…

>Isn't that most of the internet? No, bad analogy.
