Tinyyy··on Recent version of Handbrake download infected with malware
Handbrake doesn’t run with admin/ root privileges, how could it access the Keychain?
Tinyyy··on Recent version of Handbrake download infected with malware
The risks are relatively insignificant.
Tinyyy··on Apple's cash hoard swells to $246B
If all hamburger producers get a tax cut, then some of them will be able to reduce their prices, so hamburgers will be sold for less.
Tinyyy··on San Francisco university lays off IT workers, jobs head to India
What made you immediately dismiss the cost savings from outsourcing staff? In what way is that reason not 'real'?
Tinyyy··on Detailed VPN Comparison Chart
How much profit does a VPN operator make? Since running my own box on DigitalOcean costs as much as a VPN ($5), at <10% traffic utilisation.
Tinyyy··on Lenovo ThinkPad T460 – A Good Linux Laptop for Development
From your perspective, maybe. But it's a very close minded thing to say.
Tinyyy··on Organ donation becomes opt-out in France
Lying is a rather strong word, perhaps they thought that their relative was inclined to refuse donation. And default has no meaning here because they know that their answer decides the outcome; letting it fall to a “default” option decided by others seems to be rather irresponsible to the deceased relative.
Tinyyy··on Eatsa: Quinoa-based fast food
Actually he didn't exactly 'work for Monsanto', he founded WeatherBill/The Climate Corporation, which was acquired by Monsanto in 2013 (for 1.1Bn!). Presumably he was 'resting and vesting' until his exit in 2015.
Tinyyy··on Tell HN: Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas everyone. I hope that 2017 will be a happier year!
Tinyyy··on IQ is only a minor factor in success
So given 10 possible rankings, it is pretty well distributed then?
Tinyyy··on Wells Fargo’s ‘Living Will’ Plan Is Rejected Again by Regulators
How is this relevant to the article?
Tinyyy··on Pebble's next step
Clearly that did not happen, because they stopped support for warranties. So only a moral, not factual, argument could work here.
Tinyyy··on Pebble's next step
Because that’s how the real world works? If you tagged on the responsibility, they would’ve just paid less for it. It’s Pebble and their investors that only sold the good stuff to maximise their returns.
Tinyyy··on Pebble's next step
Why does FitBit have the responsibility of providing support for another company’s products? If they didn’t buy Pebble, it would’ve shuttered anyways and they might not even refund the preorders.

Tinyyy··on Deleting the golang subreddit
Look, you can ramble all about your 'trust'. But the fact is that the community on Reddit still trust Reddit. They're not asking to shut down the subreddit. It's the moderators in power, who use google groups instead of Reddit, who want to shut the subreddit down.
Tinyyy··on The Spy Who Added Me on LinkedIn
That's not a useful summary.
Tinyyy··on “Designed by Apple in California” chronicles 20 years of Apple design
We need to make Apple great again.
Tinyyy··on “Designed by Apple in California” chronicles 20 years of Apple design
It's supposed to be exclusive.
Tinyyy··on Apple's desensitisation of people to fundamental security practices
And you can choose to take those personal items out.
Tinyyy··on Warning: 2016 MacBook Pro is not compatible with Linux
It's kinda disingenuous to say that the 960 Pro is already on the market when it's not for sale yet.
Tinyyy··on Warning: 2016 MacBook Pro is not compatible with Linux
1. Don't Linux users always complain about software not being compatible with Linux? Or is Linux not compatible with photoshop?
Tinyyy··on Donald Trump is the president-elect of the U.S.
I don’t think Sanders would have done better than Clinton.
Tinyyy··on It's Charisma, Stupid (2004)
I'm not sure Sanders has more charisma than Hillary.
Tinyyy··on Live Presidential Forecast
I think it's an interesting way to represent uncertainty; it seems pretty intuitive to me.
Tinyyy··on Musk says SpaceX knows what caused the latest rocket failure
The comment I replied to was not so much a perspective as a 'feel good' comment, because it was mainly rhetorics instead of actual knowledge and insight.
Tinyyy··on Musk says SpaceX knows what caused the latest rocket failure
I understand that SpaceX and Tesla do some pretty revolutionary stuff and we hope to see them succeed.

But is it really meaningful for these ‘glass half full’ comments to sit at the top of every single Elon Musk thread?

Tinyyy··on DeepMind and Blizzard to release StarCraft II as an AI research environment
What about scissors paper stone? An AI can be trained to have >50% odds against a human player, given a copious amount of games. Humans have predictable patterns and they can definitely be exploited.
Tinyyy··on No One Saw Tesla’s Solar Roof Coming
It’s not weird actually. Monopolies are bad for people who want to create monopolies.
Tinyyy··on Powerwall 2 and Integrated Solar

For people like me who missed the solar roof.
