xHopen··on Poland in the 80's Through the Lens of French/Swiss Photographer Bruno Barbey
WHile I understand you, you miss the “Through the lens” , Is his personal view, not the real life. That is exactly what photography should be , art.
xHopen··on Network.framework: A modern alternative to sockets
I couldn‘t care less about cross Platform honestly, and yeah the most of the mobile market use Andoird, well, the android user (average) don‘t download apps, do not spend money in apps, so... is out of my target.
xHopen··on Has there been progress in philosophy?
That comment totally got it. When S. Hawking said, philosophy is dead, he was right, was death for him, the the gross of the world still doesn't understand what essentially philosophy is, and more important, how it can help you, therefore , when people will start questioning basic behevoirs and trying to understand basic things then , philopsohy will have reach the end , which is teaching the humans to think by themselves . At least this is what I think.

It was a piece of crap.
xHopen··on In which Apple destroys my daughter’s iPad forever
.... I have done it, even I have transfered my account from one country to another, which many other services like Sony Play station forbid. So before saying something that is not true, double check.
xHopen··on In which Apple destroys my daughter’s iPad forever
Yeah... because your email provider shuts down, and you keep using it for your apple account id, that is totally the fault of Apple.
xHopen··on In which Apple destroys my daughter’s iPad forever
I think Apple is doing the right thing. The error lays in the user, a) don't rememebr my security questions .... eh well... B) Apple provides ways to restore everything, two factor, email recovery etc etc, if you didn't take care of your own security for 7 years, what are you crying about? Sometimes I don't get users.
xHopen··on Ask HN: Apple shutted down our 30k/mo business. What now?
A) Remove this post B) Contact, by phone an apple employee *your region. C) I am serious about this, fly to Their offices to solve it. prove them that you are not doing anything worng, they need that. Did they shutted you down becuase you are making profits out of a digital asset without apple purchase?

Did you try to restore it using DFU mode?
xHopen··on Tim Cook on merging macOS and iOS: “I don’t think that’s what users want”
I dont want it at all, It doesn't have any sense. You don't need to do it to have a Superior software in iPad than in a Mac os, each device is for what it is.
xHopen··on Tesla issues strongest statement yet blaming driver for deadly crash
I have to say I was a firm supporter of tesla's autopilot, but you know, this is rediculous, Tesla should be ashamed say sorry, say oour system is crap , is a demo version and it doesn't work, and thats it. The rest is history, I was about to get a new tesla, not anymore.

xHopen··on Bitcoin and almost every other cryptocurrency crashed hard today
Come on , it didn’t crash. Is just a small correction , small dip. Is just 30-49% down that is , was, a normal day in crypto
xHopen··on Statement on Cryptocurrencies and Initial Coin Offerings
Buy the dip
xHopen··on Bitcoin Futures Start with a Bang as Rally Trips Circuit Breaker
They don't know what they say , but what the news tell them. I run an Ethereum node in a crappy hardware just for the network. and , as they may not know, you can run light ethereum nodes as they https://slock.it/ethereum_computer.html do. They are all focus in price , we are focus in technology and of course MOON

xHopen··on Did Bitcoin just prove it can't scale?
Buy Ethereum
xHopen··on Leaving Apple and Google: my “eelo odyssey”. Part1: the mobile OS
I agree with you in 100%. I just want to address, that the 99% of the users don't care about privacy and security , not even a little, Otherwise the whole WWW would be https and people would be extremely concerned about the practices of google, not talking about what facebook does.
xHopen··on Leaving Apple and Google: my “eelo odyssey”. Part1: the mobile OS
The only thing that I don't get is this concept of free Apps ( software) , we don't deserve to be paid for our work as a software developers? and btw, all this "free apps" , all of them, have inside tracking frameworks such a google tracking services, mixpanel , you name it. So in the fantasy world that you are trying to achieve , I dislike as well what big, tech are doing with our data, you would have to create your own Store with strict polices of non tracking , and still you would not be able , because they will track you in their servers, so, unfortunately as you know, the battle is mostly lost.

And open source would not solve anything, we all know that google is tracking us (always) and we go with it, we don't need to read the code, is an open secret.

xHopen··on An ex-trucker has some questions about the Tesla Semi
If we ask for 0 margin error , well It won’t happen. If we ask to have less accidents than humans, we are already there.
xHopen··on An ex-trucker has some questions about the Tesla Semi
5 years seems like... short time, as a reminder, 16 years ago the best video game system was Nintendo 64, in 2006 mobile phone were anything near what we have today, Tesla autopilot was first offered in 2014, 3 years ago. I wouldn’t be surprised if by 2019 full autopilot is a everyday thing
xHopen··on An ex-trucker has some questions about the Tesla Semi
It will, but how many accidents per minute are there by drivers in the world? And we don’t say, puff I don’t trust drivers. Somehow we accept dying by human errors better than by a computer, somehow I always hear, look the computer failed , like if you in that situation as human wouldn’t have done it. I don’t know, I embrace the future , if compouters tomorrow are able to code and My job as a engenieer becomes obsolete, welcome.
xHopen··on An ex-trucker has some questions about the Tesla Semi
Didn’t NASA land a robot in mars without testing just base on simulations and law of physics , mainly because they couldn’t do in other way. Of course computers are a tool and not a silver bullet , but I trust more the computational power of a computer and the path taken base on algorithms in dangerous situations than a fragile human being
xHopen··on An ex-trucker has some questions about the Tesla Semi
I couldn't agree more
xHopen··on An ex-trucker has some questions about the Tesla Semi
As a developer I was about to give you an elaborated reply but I'm gonna simplify it.

Do you trust more your calculator when you have to perform simple operations like sums , multiplication or square root , or you trust your self with a paper and pen more?

The calculator is a board with written code by humans. Then please, do you think Space X does all their calculations by hand or base on computer simulations using well known and tested algorithms

xHopen··on An ex-trucker has some questions about the Tesla Semi
It will take a while, as I said, because people won't trust it. then you need sometime for humans to see it as normal, and comprehend than a computer is better than them at driving, and is safer for them if they don't drive.

If people get mad at uber for killing taxi, imagine how mad they will be when uber will kill taxi drivers, probably in less than 5 years. Now imagine Tesla telling us, you know what? you don't need Truck drivers anymore, which we don't. Then the rage would be ...

xHopen··on An ex-trucker has some questions about the Tesla Semi
Instead of designing cities (the world) base on cars , we will design cities base on the next transportation method, which in my opinion will be autonomous. we won't own cars, for what do you want a car? you won't need it. I think is obvious it just needs someone to push the rest, will be tesla? I don't know, but the car (truck) economy is not sustainable in my opinion.
xHopen··on An ex-trucker has some questions about the Tesla Semi
Yes I trust more computer calculations than humans, way more. It will take a while, but It will happen. Anyway, I think there will be better ways to transport than trucks and cars.
