News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

CR has a long history of bias against anything electric in their reporting and headlines.

They state they drew these conclusions based on 330K survey responses. Over 13M vehicles are sold in the US alone each year. For 2.5% to be a representative sample requires extremely careful control over many confounding factors.

If their 330K survey responses follow the same distribution as new vehicle sales, only about 23K of them were BEVs. That doesn't seem like a representative sample of the roughly 1M BEVs sold each year.

Trotting out every argument against E2E encryption, but in reverse… secure communication for me, but not for thee.

Accountability doesn’t need to be real time - every word is recorded, either centrally or by multiple body cam mics. All those recordings are accessible where accountability really matters - in court.

Notifications for various messaging apps dismiss when the triggering messages have been answered elsewhere. Why shouldn't other notifications self-dismiss when no longer relevant?

- Weather updates/warnings for times in the past - "Find-My" notifications for devices no longer left behind

Amazed not to see markdown listed anywhere (or textile before it)... major step forward when it comes to inline and in-situ documentation!
I'm thoroughly curious what could have motivated this engineer's behavior, imperiling his livelihood and his employer's existence. I'd be unsurprised if a get-it-done-yesterday, deadline-driven, process-be-damned culture played a large role.
Good input. I'm actually going to be adding more products to choose from before entering the designer, so that would be a logical point to have pricing.

So far it's been slow; like @memset, I've got the product done but struggle with driving traffic/sales.

Ask HN: What do you use for passwords on encrypted attachments

Yes, yes, there are plenty of more-secure ways of getting files from point A to point B today, but once in a while a curmudgeonly vendor or someone's misguidedly-heavy-handed policy push us into having to send a sensitive attachment by email.So, you zip it up with a password or generate an encrypted PDF - but what to use for the password? Absent a side channel to send the password through, you...
