Why would an email with a number not be a contract?

>or any reasonable person

There are many reasonable people who understand that $50k is nothing for a decent domain name.

Live in central London and usually walk everywhere, never experienced or even heard of black snot. Pretty sure it’s only a thing for the tube-travelling demographic.

2017 called, they want their pointless debate back.

This battle was lost half a decade ago, today it’s just an incredibly silly hill to die on.

Who needs such a “loophole”? It’s already very common to take down pages with fake DMCAs, fake legal process and fake court orders.

Anyone wanting to deploy dirty tricks to remove things from Google can do so very easily already

Krebs’s doxing posts will get removed from Google?

That’s not how car warranty works. In the US Magnuson-Moss protects you from this.

You can literally engine swap your car and still make hassle-free warranty claims on your suspension.

> If it becomes ubiquitous I'd expect an underground market to form around activating features which are physically present but locked out by software.

There already is, just read any car forums.

This is a weird take.

For example: From a security POV it’s not meaningfully different from being given a download link for a binary.

> Don’t you just file a report online?

Often hard to do in a foreign country.

But yeah, not sure who bothers to report a stolen phone. I think it’s rather unusual for phone insurances to require a police report.

You can find waay more attractive premiums through traditional insurance brokers than via Hodinkee, but depending on the size of your collection it might not be worth the hassle as finding a decent traditional option is a headache unless you know someone who’s already gone through the trouble.

Yeah, exactly.

But this is a solved problem in Scandinavia, you just have someone else do the speeding for you and pay them a low salary.

The fines will be scaled based on the income of the chauffeur, not the highly paid executive in the back. Even if it’s actually the executive who’s paying them.

Damage isn’t a huge problem, watches tend to be pretty sturdy and mere scratches aren’t going to hurt resale value in most cases (unless you have them repaired!)

Theft on the other hand is a pretty big concern, I just had a 100k patek ripped off my wrist. I’m very lucky though, the local store manager was sympathetic and managed to help me skip the queue for a (slightly more desirable) replacement, effectively nullifying any financial damage.

Lesson learned, not walking around with uninsured watches no matter how nice the area is. Insurance premiums aren’t too bad though.

CVEs are not found, they are applied for. The resume padding sport has resulted in a flood of nonsensical applications.

Most people do not need to be available to respond to incidents.

You don’t need to be productive for 8 hours a day in order to collect a paycheck. Often not for even a single hour.

> you're not going to be able to give your all.

Why would you want to? You’re only working for money.

Who cares about this “basic trust”? Except the employer, obviously. Not exactly a balanced power dynamic there.

It’s so weird to see “CVE” used like this. “AppSec research” or just résumé padding?

Twitter is what you make it. If you choose to surround yourself in the toxic cesspool parts, perhaps that says more about you than Twitter?

99% of the stuff I see is interesting technical content

I bet that most of these terms also forbid sending malware or spam. How is that meaningfully different when it comes to scanning email content?

Only if you want to use iCloud, no? Or maybe I just wasn’t able to use that at the time because I was on hotel WiFi.

Are new iPhones really doing usb 2 over usb-c?

Hardly seems like an unusual situation. I suspect most people never import photos from their iPhone, they might have quite a few if/when they eventually choose to do so.

Literally something I regularly need to take screenshots of for payment confirmations etc.

Have they improved that? Last I tried with 200GB or so of photos it just froze.

For some rather unexciting definitions of “backdoor” anyway.

If an email service notices big amounts of spam evading their ML classifier, they’ll have to change their systems just like they would have done pre-ML.

If a bank notices a big amount of bad loan applications being approved by their ML-classifier, they’ll have to change their systems just like they would have done pre-ML.

Nobody is going to be popping shells with this. The “worst case” scenarios are already happening on a regular basis with traditional systems without any backdoors at all.

Deleting your bank account is exceptionally hard.

Deleting your paypal account is exceptionally hard.

Deleting your brokerage account is exceptionally hard.

I’m just pointing out the unsurprising coincidence that he is a German speaker repeating falsehoods German leadership is peddling to Germans exclusively in the German language.

Nowhere else in the world will you see anyone pushing the lie that Ukraine isn’t being supplied with heavy weapons.

I really don’t know how you can spin this into an attack. sschueller is simply a victim of propaganda, that’s not an unreasonable thing to point out. I just added useful context to the outrageous lie he is spreading.

Let me remind you of the principle of charity (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...)

Reading my comment as a personal attack is miles away from the most charitable interpretation.
