How secure is this?
For example in the Netherlands creditcards are showing a secret number on the backside of the card. Let's say the app on the phone is altered and making pictures of the card once it swiped over. The phone can then collect all information to make a purchase.
I would not trust somebodies phone to swipe my card over.
I didn't say they weren't. I imagine the project needs lots of help. Is there an ETA? Will the ports be kept in sync with the Windows versions so we don't need to wait years for updates? It's a lot of work.
They are afraid that their criticisms will be magnified and distorted by the press and used as the basis of hit-pieces

Hardly.

Many Apple fans still operate as if it is some tiny, vulnerable niche company, and they're a member of the few. Perhaps this is some sort of traumatic stress of those early days, but it manifests in this feeling of great discomfort if your words are used "against" the hive. Arment, significant in this piece, incredibly claimed that it was a nightmare having his entirely valid, indisputable issues with Apple software lately, spoken of by "the others".

This is bizarre behavior. It is absolutely incredible. Apple is one of the largest corporations on the planet. It is an enormous money machine. And people are desperately fearful that their opinions about Apple might get known? Come on.

The whole "magnified and distorted" and "hit piece" noises is just garbage. It has nothing to do with proportionality or reality, it's just this sense that a community is under attack and they need to be defensive, and it's just bizarre.
If a person is that financially rich but still has to live like a grad student, it seems like the only point of that wealth is to rebel against the legal system. Even if one isn't caught, there's still a loss of freedom to avoid getting caught.

I haven't studied criminology, but I alternatively suppose someone who does that just doesn't think that far ahead. This likely also explains why the vast majority of people with these capabilities choose to live a life in accordance to their country's laws.
I enjoyed it fwiw.
Xi's point is - democracy isn't necessary for success. XiJinPing's thought is literally based on the idea that the future is a huge idealogical battle between socialism (socialism with chinese characteristics) and capitalism (corporatism). personal freedoms be damned till china gains it's previous position in the world. he doesn't want China to end up like the soviet union. once you read his manifesto you'll see the chinese singular goal.

by the time, the west decides to disengage with china. china would be self sufficient and be able to engage with other countries.

Watch the embedded video. Either some random woman with no apparent background in this work made the most convincing deep fake I've ever seen, or that young woman was caught on film smoking something.

If its really fake the folks over at Sassy Justice should hire her, their stuff looks like garbage in comparison.
If your fridge or AC is exposing you to trace amounts of TCE left over from the process of making the R134a it's primarily charged with, it also isn't keeping your food cold.

A common AC charge for a car is around 500g +/- 25g It doesn't take much of that leaking out before it doesn't blow cold air. Even if there was a bunch of residual TCE, you're unlikely to be subject to a long term exposure because you'd notice your AC or fridge not working long before the full charge leaked out to expose you.

In spite of the efforts of the world's accountants, fridges and air conditioners still routinely last a decade or more. That's because the charge of R134a is largely staying put.
What is the chance that Apple kept their 30% policy unchanged anticipating that one day they need to make this argument in court. This company doesn't stop to impress me.
I'm not the best qualified to answer this question as I do spend a lot of time reading about programming languages in general, and even though I was able to grasp Rust's async/await very fast, I probably owe it to previous knowledge of a relatively large variety of programming paradigms. I'll thus rely on other commenters that seem to agree that it's really not as hard as you would expect. In particular Rust helps a lot in making sure you don't make too many mistakes so I'd wager that learning to do correct async/await in Rust is probably easier than in, say, Javascript.
This law only applies to whoever the Australian government thinks it should apply to, that is the wording there are no explicit rules. Currently that is only Facebook and Google.

Unorthodox journalist tactics or not, they catch the elite saying horrible things on camera when they think they are speaking amongst friends.

Yes they do go against the left a lot in who they go after. But you can’t argue against the video footage. I consider myself on the left on many things but what they capture people saying is absolute appalling. Why focus on their tactics instead of what they uncover?
From fast food to culture and politics, stupid American ideas have been tearing up Europe for over half a century...

It's difficult to resist immitating and parroting the top global dog, with a huge budget, and the dream-factories (Hollywood, TV series) and discussion-control-factories (internet, tech, social media) at its disposal for pushing its norms.

Some things, like having popular national cinema was easier up until the 70s, when movies where more humane even in Hollywood. Heck, an Italian western could be as good or better than a US made one, even in production value. But after Spielberg, Lucas and co made it all about special effects, huge budgets and linear simplistic plots, it became impossible for domestic cinema to compete (at the dopamine-hit level) with US cinema, especially for impressionable young audiences (who then were brought up with that alone).

"Various forms of marketing" - of the nearly infinite range of marketing approaches, "wasteful destruction" is only one, and oddly enough, most successful marketing campaigns never stooped to that level.

And even when damaging the product is the approach taken, it's not usually a pointless stunt. When Timex abused their watches in commercials, the point was to show that the watches would keep working.

The blending thing is just stupid web-meme fan service, that is unlikely to make a notable contribution to selling Cr48s. Or blenders, for that matter.
Thanks for the kind words Steven. Unfortunately I won't be back in Atlanta for the holidays, but there is a chance I might fly in for a few days around Startup Riot.. we'll see!
Sublime Text has a really robust plugin architecture, similar to Visual Studio's extension capabilities. Whenever I'm working on a project, I basically install whatever plugins I need into Sublime Text to give me full "IDE-like" capability specific to that stack. Be it debuggers, integrated compilers, REPLs, version control systems, etc.

I like Sublime Text because at it's default, it's just a text editor, and then _I_ turn it into the IDE that fits my flow and current technology requirements. It becomes an IDE completely customized for my project.
This is pretty slick and too bad I don't use Word anymore. That said, besides the obvious PR hit that Microsoft takes with this kind of stuff I'm unsure how many people will be using this. People on this site who use Word might, but the everyday users of Microsoft products won't even know this exists.
There are many, I think. I know of one offhand: http://lite.launchlist.net/

Where did I hold it out as a model? I said we're not going to feed 7 billion people much less 10 billion with composting toilets and raised beds.

The point is we have industrial agriculture, pesticides, herbicides, and massive amounts of petrofertilizers and other chemicals already widely deployed to artificially increase crop yields providing the great majority of the food supply and we've farmed virtually all arable land already, and food security is still a problem. There will be billions more to feed before population peaks.

What I am saying is that neither modern industrial ag nor permaculture fantasy agriculture or organic farming can sustainably feed the earth's growing population. Population is the problem.
Using web2a is a great idea. I'd written a Diceware-like password generator in Scheme. The word word list was derived from the web2 list (FreeBSD /usr/share/dict directory). Even after paring it down to ~151000 items, the resulting passwords often contained arcane terms limiting password usability.

With the web2a list slightly tweaked, I get many memorable passwords, e.g., "power-weaver-sand-screw-1081" or "cloud-ring-tea-fighting-1107". OTOH web2a is shorter (~76000 entries), giving 2 bits less entropy vs. using the filtered web2 list. Taking password readability into account, the higher rate of "keepers" with web2a probably evens out the difference.

BTW the web2a word list is here (https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/share/dict) in case anyone doesn't have access to it.

I used to start my grandfather's pickup truck - a Chevy Indian from the 1950s or so - without operating the starter. I left off the parking brake, it coasted backwards down the driveway, then at just the right moment I released the clutch. With some practice I could start the engine every time.
> I'd say if you're looking for super stable libraries I'd argue on a time basis alone to just use core Java then.

Thanks for your reply but I didn't understand this part of it. Core Java doesn't have a lot of this functionality. Are you proposing it would be better to write your own JSON serializer in core Java, for example, than using a battle-tested library like Jackson?
> Just set all regular bills on auto

I realize that opinions on this differ, but I think that automatic bill payment is a horrible security practice.

Just last week I was paying with credit card in which the merchant punched in $5504 by accident instead of $504. Had I not noticed it right away, at least I'd get another chance to correct the error when my credit card bill arrived. With auto-pay, my bank account would have been emptied.

What would you do if some sort of auto pay error emptied your bank account? These things take time to resolve. What if it's a weekend, or a holiday, or you're traveling overseas, or the entity that caused the problem is on strike, or they want a written dispute from you?

That's not an argument, I agree that Trump and terrorism is bad. That is not an argument for enacting policies in a collective fit of rage without thinking at all about long-term consequences.
Nah. He likely did not. Instead others played to that expectation, knew they could craft a "riot" and then drive a stake into the Trump legacy.

It will be a long long long time before the public votes for a candidate who is not a life long 100% legitimate Red or Blue. This is the final lesson to the masses: Don't you ever deviate again.
Yes! Some fascinating research happening as we speak with in-memory ML using ReRAM.
I think what you're saying about causation has a lot of truth to it. I believe one of the other fundamental considerations is simple numbers. Looking at the pictures of the Capitol riot it doesn't look like there were more than a few thousand people there and probably less than ten percent of those breached the Capitol and/or engaged in violence. There are more than 328 million people in the US, some minute percentage of those people, because of mental illness or some sort of subclinical ideological derangement are going to be drawn into this kind of idiocy given the present environment.

The rise of online platforms unquestionable explains part of why large hordes of conspiracy addled red hats have taken to the streets. But I am very pessimistic about the potential for deplatforming to solve this problem. Clinton famously said that the Chinese censoring the Internet would be like, "nailing jello to a wall," basically impossible. It turns out, for the most part, the Chinese have been able to hammer down dissent online. But they were able to write almost any laws they wanted, create a massive censorship apparatus, and exert control over every aspect of society. Even with all these advantages they barely managed it. Western society will never be willing to exert the control necessary to effectively manage online speech. There are simply too many members of the alt right, creating too much demand, for them to be effectively cut off from communication platforms. Trying will likely be counterproductive. It will balkanize the internet into more ideologically extreme and insular networks where "responsible adults" have less influence. It will feed a sense of paranoia and persecution. Over time it will lead them to harden their platforms and improve their tactics of evasion making it more difficult to monitor them and exert any kind of control.

We also have the very significant problem of where to draw the line. Now that the big tech platforms have decided to remove political speech that they believe is dangerous, there will be a lot of pressure on them to keep going. "If you removed $X for $I why are you now giving a platform to $Y to say $J?" There is going to be a lot of discussion in the coming months about what kind of opinions should lead to deplatforming, not all of it is going to be productive.

There is no easy solution and deplatforming is probably part of the answer. I believe a larger part will (or at least should) be finding more effective ways to reach out and influence opinions when possible. The Capitol police being caught so unprepared shows the urgent need for effective intelligence and responsive protection strategies. If deplatforming is used in an excessive or capricious manner it is likely to make any kind of effective action much more difficult.

similarly, hardening the capitol is not the way. To the extent that even trying to be a shining city on a hill is possible, I can tell you that it is impossible if you wall it off.

Walling up the people's house this summer and violating the rights and bodies of peaceful protestors was rightly condemned, too.

Sure, but if you want these companies to not just do whatever the hell they want, then make a law about it.

Ultimately, if a company is answerable to no one except themselves, then what do you expect is going to happen? They're just protecting their own interests.

You use the platform; you accept the TOS. You accept the arbitrary enforcement of the TOS.

That's how it works on every platform right now.

Right? Wrong? I don't know... but I'll tell you what I do know: a) I'm not surprised, and b) there is zero chance this will change without legal compulsion.

So right now, concerned or not, it is what it is. Suck it up, or accept legislative change; you can't have it both ways.
The public confidence in experts is rapidly eroding in many sectors, in all major political factions.

I would not want to bet on a near-term future that relies on public confidence in experts to function normally. It worked really, really well for the better part of the last century, but complexity and technology has grown exponentially, which makes that a less tenable system.

I didn't downvote you, but maybe other people did because, as my original reply suggested, you're arguing against a position that nobody was taking. Nobody was talking about eliminating immigration, and not re-legislating immigration policy at the behest of MSFT and GOOG or Paul Graham cannot reasonably be translated as a 'mandated supply shortage.'
The Amish do use modern medicine. At least some of them. It depends on the community.
Because it's incorrect.

Maybe it is about wages for companies that don't understand there's huge variance in productivity of programmers. But it is about talent and not wages for companies that do.

You do have a valid argument that when you increase supply prices drop. But they drop in proportion to the supply. It would be nice if one could estimate the total number of those great programmers, and then calculate what % of the total programmers they are. If they are 50% that would be a problem. But if they are 0.5% (1/100th that), is it still a problem?
Yes, I have used free graphics and optimized them to reduce the vertex count and size and also created custom animations. All the arenas / level have been modeled by me though.

I agree that games, especially indie games, need more designers. Since indie games usually don't end up making enough money its difficult to find designers who are ready to work on profit sharing basis rather than upfront money.
Interesting point. Also the economic surplus is much greater today-- far fewer people in the past had the luxury time to pursue the artistic.

They're a really interesting hedge fund because they get involved in these extremely esoteric areas of the market where they have little competition -- for example, a few years back they were buying up defaulted sovereign debt and suing countries to force them into paying up.

They're a vulture fund, which are considered to be highly unethical when they profiteer from third world debt, and are banned in the UK.

I've never been a vegetarian, but I used to eat very little meat.

The one mineral I rarely hear about when talking about a vegetarian or vegan diet is Zinc. It is nearly impossible to get enough Zinc without eating animal products. You can either eat nearly 3 pounds of peas, or little more than .5 ounces of canned oysters to get enough Zinc in your diet. Being low on Zinc weakens your immune system, and your libido, so yeah - it's important.

YMMV, but I am feeling much better now that I've made it a point to eat more (local, organically-raised) meat.
> why do you have a feature on your site that can obliterate mentions of a certain phrase?

It's called database access, and every CTO has it, ultimately. That said, I doubt there is a big red button sitting like a blank check for the CTO to nuke phrases that contract his sphincter. That said, what the hell do I know?
There are an enormous number of people who say things like, "by doing X, Twitter (replace as needed) is no longer a platform and loses its protection."

Not in the sense of, that's how it ought to be or that a change in the law will bring it about, but under a belief that that's how things already are.

The balance has shifted a bit as calls for its repeal have become louder, so "repeal 230" is now a much more common response to disliked moderation actions, but you still don't have to look far to find people saying that a ban or notice or whatever "violates section 230."
While there is no catching a criminal in this situation. Asset forfeiture is abused. This is where police take items, usually cash, and keep it. There is no trial, just a seizure of property.

It's a good example of what I mean. There are others, I'm just not going to post them all. The police seem to optimize for stats and profit. And the cities/counties/state are on board. That's why we see red light cameras too. There are also documented cases of tweaking yellow light times in order to increase the number of tickets sent for running red lights.

The police don't seem to be here to protect and serve anymore. Like most things in America it's all about appearances and money.
It’s kind of cool and I like that it looks very different. But do we really need more super heavy, huge and expensive vehicles on the road? It would be much better if they put their efforts into something small, efficient and affordable and made that cool.
Cool to nerds like us is not the same thing as cool to executives who want to pretend they're ranchers. Although I'm not shocked that Elon Musk wouldn't realize the difference.

Presumably an association with "premium" is among the things Apple is bringing to the deal.
Yeah, the app name got screwed up for whatever reason.
Yes, pretty much.

E.g. Germany has loads of Sr-90 as a product of their fission power plants (typically PWRs fed with low-enriched uranium), at least some of which is already vitrified in borosilicate glass along with the other high-activity waste and currently standing around to cool down so it can eventually be stuffed deep into probably a rock salt formation.

It's not hard to separate it (and the Cs-137) from the rest of the spent fuel, if so desired.
