Oh true, I didn't consider that. I guess parents have no agency over their children.

Who manages the exposure to the devices a children has? Where did they get these devices from in the first place?

Where are all these poisoned children getting the cash to buy these things?

If you read the third sentence of the PR, it says:

> During the transpilation process, no type checking is performed, and types are discarded

This example makes no sense to me. An attacker is potentially logging on to the computer and submitting empty passwords to get in. And this is what we're trying to prevent at the expense of having an unclear UX?

What kind of side channel exists if the behavior is: if password is required, zero length input is always invalid. This seems kind of like basic UX. I mean I wouldn't expect the password field to validate against the password complexity requirements exactly, just that zero length input is probably a mistake.

Is this what passes for discussion on HackerNews these days?

Can you name a single accessibility feature where this has happened ever? Kinda seems like you just made up some fake reality.

It's not an absolute statement, you'd have to have a childish interpretation of the article to have that takeaway. Not every generalization needs a "well actually".

Sure, numbers don't matter. Just 40M homeless, give or take 39.4M.

I just find it funny when engineers trivialize solutions that they themselves wouldn't employ. Like yeah, I'm sure your phpbb solution was a proper vulnerability reporting and triaging system.

Ah yes the typical engineer response of "just <insert system>".

Do you think Ubiquiti has hundreds of people on staff to watch their forums to triage every issue within seconds of it being posted? I'm curious what level of support would be satisfactory to you, in this instance.

That's not the argument being made. Nobody said that.

These people say they don't want all this power centralized to certain individuals, will in the next breath claim that government should seize assets after a certain amount. They want centralized control, they just want their preferred political party to be the ones with it.

There really aren't that many billionaires. Most of what we refer to as billionaires are people who have a large equity stake in companies they run. So are we saying once your equity becomes to large you have to start selling shares?

People who say this stuff usually have zero clue how money works.

PayPal's current market cap is ~$80B. Is Stripe actually worth only $6B less than PayPal?

> As a web developer for 11 years, I can state that web development is devolving to chaos of IE6 era.

This is a poor comparison. The problem of the IE6 and below era was that Microsoft was adding capabilities to IE without standardizing them. Now, browsers add non-standard capabilities to their browsers to trial their implementations (remember CSS gradients) but eventually move them through the standards bodies before formally declaring their support.

If you're using non-standard APIs, and they break for you before Recommendation, that's your own fault.

Autopilot is the correct term here – seems like most folks unfortunately don't know what it actually means. So I wouldn't disagree with you.

Where's your evidence that any of the people who've crashed in these Teslas were "victims"?

There are certain browser APIs disabled in the browser in incognito mode that can be detected. How else would you implement incognito mode?

Read the article.

Seems like a stupid move? This is a pretty common pattern and we rarely ever hear of stories like this.

> We should be doing more to support emotional support animals in general to help those afflicted.

Did either you or the parent commenter read the entire article or the interview at the end? Nobody is saying support animals don't help in any way.

The whole discussion is about the lack of any serious studies or evidence that animals objectively help those with mental health issues, and how exactly they help. How can you say "we should be doing more to support" something without knowing if that thing is actually helping? This is the point of the article.

Couldn't you just, you know, not purchase those products or services?

> Speakers are something that NEED to be repaired

Is that true? If there's one component that's stood the test of time in my home theater setup, it's been the speakers. I've purchased a ton of speakers in my time and I'm still rocking some 15 year old Kenwood speakers in the living room.

Yeah, I don’t think Damore has anything to do with the topic of the wider thread, or anti-trust for that matter.

And “anti-trust action” fixes this how? We’re going to start having government come in and tell Google what is acceptable content?

To balance what out, exactly?

> If you're trying to buy a coffee, don't use BTC.

Isn't this sorta what we were hoping to do one day? A proper digital cash replacement? This Bitcoin scalability problem seems like a much bigger deal than most seem to realize. And it's only getting worse.
