There’s a lot of surface area on top of a trailer, just saying.
rand77763··on Facebook denies 'listening' to conversations

rand77763··on Ask HN: What do you want to see most in the next iteration of the Macbook Pro?
More ram.
rand77763··on Thanks to Venmo, We Now All Know How Cheap Our Friends Are
Thank you, exactly. I'd rather just pick it up one time and expect that they do it sometimes as well. I don't want it to seem like I actually give a fuck about 12 dollars for the experience of hanging out and having a good time. And I don't.
rand77763··on Thanks to Venmo, We Now All Know How Cheap Our Friends Are
I refuse to link my financial activity and things involving my physical address to Facebook, which Venmo seems to require. This is insanity to me. And I am a millennial as well.
rand77763··on The NSA has linked the WannaCry computer worm to North Korea
What exactly does a math competition have to do with ransomware?
rand77763··on The Brain Can Only Take So Much Focus
I wouldn't call "not working" "leisure". I work 80+ hours a week myself. But I recognize that there are more important things in this world and in this life than just working.
rand77763··on Is Every Speed Limit Too Low?
You must learn to differentiate legality from morality.
rand77763··on Is Every Speed Limit Too Low?
Fucking obviously they are too low. Everyone knows this. Absolutely no one drives exactly the speed limit. Speed limits are low to increase revenues from speeding tickets.
rand77763··on Rand Paul: NSA Routinely Monitors Americans’ Communications Without Warrants
And then he lied to the American people about the FREEDOM Act. Claimed it was some type of reform.
rand77763··on Rand Paul: NSA Routinely Monitors Americans’ Communications Without Warrants
Except multiple leaks have proven this isn't some crackpot conspiracy theory. Whether or not the NSA, CIA, or FBI were specifically targeting Trump, his communications, and ours, ARE intercepted and monitored.
rand77763··on What the CIA WikiLeaks Dump Tells Us: Encryption Works
The modifications installed by your phone company, etc. are not open source. The baseband chip's firmware is not open sourced. I've even heard of DMA being allowed over baseband as part of the Lawful Intercept Protocol.
rand77763··on How Uber Used Secret “Greyball” Tool to Deceive Authorities Worldwide
God, I wish HN had a downvote button.
rand77763··on Cloudflare Reverse Proxies Are Dumping Uninitialized Memory
I should have done my research, but I walked away from an accepted offer at a company once I found out they took money from In-Q-Tel.
rand77763··on Cloudflare Reverse Proxies Are Dumping Uninitialized Memory
Happened to me as well. If it's not related to CloudBleed, can you tell us specifically what happened? It's making me not trust Reddit.
rand77763··on How Do I Declare a Function Pointer in C?
Wait, what type of fucked up world do people exist in where a website is blocked due to the word "fuck".
rand77763··on Will Mark Zuckerberg Be Our Next President?
Maybe he'd be president of the new California Republic. But, I don't see him in high regard, don't agree with his politics, and don't agree with his willingness for mass surveillance.
rand77763··on Obama Commutes Bulk of Chelsea Manning’s Sentence
The POV of the government should be nothing more than the POV of the people.
rand77763··on Telegram Desktop reaches version 1.0
Wait, are you saying messenger is secure and private? As if Facebook would want to give up a source of data for marketing?
rand77763··on Google updating policy for ads on fake news sites
Oh, right, just right wing sources. You're not biased at all. As if HuffPo isn't just as bad.
rand77763··on Now Open – AWS US East (Ohio) Region
Ooh, you're good at this. Where are the rest of them? I like to keep my DC map accurate, but AWS is hard to find.
