That is the ugliest CPU box on the market

Did they fix it?

That should have been the target of his rant not that they won't turn on LTE updates. He comes off sounding like first world problems in the bulk of this article.

If it's that big a deal just tether it to the phone.

No one. If they wanted to die they'd just wait for the missile.

> It seems likely, given that this mechanism is "deliberate" and definitely under the control of your DNA, that you live longer and more successfully with aging than without.

Not necessarily "you" but perhaps the species as a whole. Without the aging and inevitable death our ancestors may have evolved slower.

1) Which is why the data shouldn't be accessible without a warrant and there should be stiff punishments if it is accessed without one. We shouldn't stop all the other advances that come from the technology of these sensors and the help they could provide in solving very real crimes.

2) There's already plenty of avenues for circumstantial evidence already, this is the reason we have lawyers and judges to argue over and prevent evidence that isn't solid

So we shouldn't collect data that might help solve a major crime because someone might commit a minor crime like stalking?

We're trading the potential to solve a major crime for the potential for a minor crime of stalking to happen. As long as we require that a warrant be involved in getting the data and there are punishments in place for accessing without a warrant I'd feel safe with them collecting it.

I'd hope a poorly maintained automated truck which crashes would result in extremely heavy fines and lawsuits, to the point where it could seriously threaten to put a trucking company out of business. Make it uneconomical not to maintain the trucks.

This is not a typical case of Supply and Demand. This is a case of someone having complete control of supply on a necessity for some people and charging whatever they want because insurance and social programs will foot the bill. In some cases the drug companies can very cheaply produce the drugs.

This isn't a problem in a competitive market they would never get away with this sort of stuff but our laws and our healthcare system have created a perfect environment for exploiting.

Can't blame people like Martin for doing it but we can blame politicians for not doing something about it.

Changing education is the best solution but its not a quick solution, people like quick solutions.

Hacker News is also a left leaning bubble so asking this question here will probably mostly just yield liberal viewpoints on the topic.

Really not a property of Go. Any codebase can be hard to follow if the designer wants it to be. It just happened that the Perl community went off the deep end and decided that tiny unreadable code was better than big readable code.

A password is incredibly weak security. For someone who is safe it may be strong but for the average person a little social engineering can acquire it without their knowledge.

Most modern cars cannot be stolen with a screwdriver and a pair of wireclippers in a reasonable time frame. A password entry on the other hand would be seconds and any bystander who did see it would not notice anything out of the ordinary.

Fireproof barriers are mostly just meant to give the driver time to exit. When there's a lot of fuel burning there's not much one can do except try and redirect the fire away from harming the people inside it. Eventually they give or the fire bypasses it by heating up other parts of the car and causing those to combust.
