techthroway443··on Amazon's Chinese Counterfeit Problem Is Getting Worse
This seems like the most sensible solution and would easily weed out 99% of these fake paid for reviews. Is there a way to filter ratings by verified purchasers?

Why don't they do this by default?

techthroway443··on Robot's role in killing Dallas shooter is a first
You mean like the Terminator?
techthroway443··on Salim Ismail – Our democracy is about to collapse
I thought people voted for Brexit because they wanted more autonomy and didn't like the free flow of immigrants, but I guess saying people were "scared shitless" does indeed make more sense.
techthroway443··on Does More Security at Airports Make Us Safer or Just Move the Targets?
What happens when all houses have alarms?
techthroway443··on Google collects metadata from Android phones
Brilliant

What is this referring to?
techthroway443··on Google collects metadata from Android phones
Sad state of affairs when an article about encroaching users privacy is met with such indifference.
techthroway443··on DuckDuckGo announces partnership with Yahoo
Same here. How new is this 'news'?

> I don't see any way to add a search engine not on the list

Then that's a problem with Chrome. Using Safari on iPhone you can set DDG as your default search engine.

techthroway443··on Tesla driver killed in crash with Autopilot active, NHTSA investigating
Rapidly apply brakes. Seems like the safest possible way to avoid the deer without causing injury to driver + possibly others.
techthroway443··on Tesla driver killed in crash with Autopilot active, NHTSA investigating
Should we be calling the technology Autopilot? I feel like the name implies more autonomy than it provides inadvertently misleading people.
techthroway443··on Riot uses League of Legends chatlogs to weed out toxic employees
Nope.

This article is specifically addressing social media accounts. Trying to lump your 'gamer tag' under that section is pretty sleazy.

Pretty simple to check really.

techthroway443··on Riot uses League of Legends chatlogs to weed out toxic employees
To take disciplinary action against employees who among other things are "'pulling rank' on other players to intimidate them"?
techthroway443··on Ruin My Search History
Just got a letter from my supervisor. Had no idea it would 'ruin' my search with perverted garbage. Thanks for that.
techthroway443··on Larry Page’s startups working on flying cars
So they biggest obstacle is regulation/money and not in the technical challenges of making a 3,500 pound rectangle zip around the air? Ok.
techthroway443··on $500 Lenovo Phab2 Pro Is the First Google Tango Phone
For the uninitiated? What did they do now?
techthroway443··on FBI wants access to browser history without a warrant in terrorism, spy cases
Wow whoever came up with the whole 'in the name of terrorism' is a goddamn genius. Pretty much a free card to get access to anything and everything for the sake of 'security'.
techthroway443··on RIAA to .ORG Registry: Take down ThePirateBay
What?

Edit: Why am I getting downvoted? Have you clicked on this page: https://www.thepiratebay.org/top/all

Wtf is the point of acting like TPB is a legit site where the main focus is not to spread copyrighted material? Are you that fucking daft?

techthroway443··on RIAA to .ORG Registry: Take down ThePirateBay
Right... and the advertised TOC of their folders is mostly what? 99.999% linux distros I presume?
techthroway443··on RIAA to .ORG Registry: Take down ThePirateBay
How is that not considered flagrant lying?

From your link: "For example, a child might tell his or her parent 'I ate every vegetable on my plate', when there were no vegetables on the child's plate to begin with."

Check out the Top100 links to get an idea how the site is used.
techthroway443··on RIAA to .ORG Registry: Take down ThePirateBay
I'm failing to see the connection between magnet links to download copyrighted material and searching for an ISBN.
techthroway443··on RIAA to .ORG Registry: Take down ThePirateBay
This is stupid. We don't store any patient data thus we are HIPPA compliant?
techthroway443··on RIAA to .ORG Registry: Take down ThePirateBay
I think I see your point. So in order for TPB to be considered out of compliance with the DMCA there would have to be a clause in the DMCA where it clearly states that magnet links to copyrighted material are not allowed?
techthroway443··on RIAA to .ORG Registry: Take down ThePirateBay
If the metadata in question is used specifically for the purpose of distributing copyrighted material then how should it not be?
techthroway443··on RIAA to .ORG Registry: Take down ThePirateBay
This does not sound logical at all. Suppose part of complying with DMCA requirements is to remove the offending material - are you suggesting that by being exempt from having to do so they are complying with the requests?
techthroway443··on RIAA to .ORG Registry: Take down ThePirateBay
How is hosting magnet links that let you download copyrighted material not considered hosting infringing content?
techthroway443··on Jacob Appelbaum Leaves the Tor Project
This thread is just plain bizarre and probably the lowest quality content I've seen on hacker news. Glad you flagged it.
techthroway443··on Uber and Lyft Are Adding Jobs, Not Just Stealing Them
What seems to be the issue here? If you can get a machine to do something that a human can do then you give that human the opportunity to place his focus, time and attention elsewhere.
