He's primarily asking how FaceID is less secure -
a point you bought up multiple times in your original post and provided no reasoning for.
That's not far from the truth. Leo has a horrible broken codebase and the devs are not the most competent around. The project is a prime example of everything bad going in software-development.

But, while lacking, they have the right spirit and are constantly trying to do better. If someone can adapt to the myriad of quirks and failures, it can be a very powerful tool. As an outliner it's definitly better than org-mode. But it might be good to have profund python-knowledge to take advantage of the scripting-ability to make it really useful.
This makes no sense.

How can you use your phone without looking at it ?

Because from what Apple has said if you can see the screen the camera will at most angles be able to authenticate you.
I thing that's the solution for video.

Pause it and show a "play" button and an "autoplay" button on the video.

JSON is the biggest joke in recent computer engineering history! It was a revolt against the complexity of XML, but now it recreated most of its past enemy's ones - schema, path, etc. So many products use JSON for configuration today when it lacks a basic feature such as having comments!

If possible invest it in an existing company Facebook can't compete with, for example Wechat/QQ. Use the money to strengthen it's position in neighboring countries where it is competing directly with Facebook and to try to enter poor markets where Facebook doesn't yet have complete market domination (think the places where Facebook tried to introduce Free Basics).
> We've been able to send money all over the world for decades now, I can literally send my friend in New Zealand $50 using an app on my phone. Not sure how Bitcoin makes this any easier. Maybe it makes it a bit cheaper, assuming it's value doesn't plummet while your transfer is going through?

It's not about sending $50, it's about sending $5,000,000.00. Which is an entirely different class of problem (paperwork, fees, process). Making that cheaper, faster, easier.
I think before anyone is going to be able to "disrupt" Facebook, you need to take their cash cow away from them. DATA.

I honestly believe the future of social media will be such that (a) user data is stored on a user-controlled [owned?] platform (b) user data is then [based on custom rules set by user] distributed to social networks.

Once the data is decentralized any Joe can then build a network and instantly take advantage of data, since the user will simply "flip a switch" and suddenly all of their data can be transferred / added-to the new network.

It produces a 3D model of your head so paper definitely wouldn't work.

Actually FaceID will make it faster to get into your phone. Today if you swipe on a notification, you get prompted to authenticate your fingerprint. Now that step is gone -- you just go straight in.

As for opening the home screen, I think your worries are misplaced. You have to look at your phone in order to use it, and FaceID is instantaneous and works at sharp angles, so there's no need to unlock it ahead of time. All it does is replace the button press with a swipe.

The early reports are that it doesn't feel like a ritual at all. It's more like it just makes the whole authentication step go away.[1]

Amazon doesn't know that a given reviewer hasn't obtained the book elsewhere. Do you know of any other books for which they have performed proactive censorship of reviews?
The 'value' cloud services provide is purely for experimental services an organization does not want to commit physical assets. Those deluded to believing cloud services provide any value beyond test service deployments are propaganda poster boys for today's tech sucker awards.
This comparison seems fairly fantastical and irrelevant. Something from within the history of consumer electronics would be more useful to consider, in my opinion.

For example, in 1982, the wildly popular low-end home entertainment computer, the Commodore 64, was released at $595, or about $1500 after inflation adjustment. On release in 1977, the Apple II was $1298, or over $5000 in today's terms. You could pay $400 per 4k of ram, so $6000 if you wanted one with 12k ram. If the iPhone X came out in 1985 for this price, it would have been $400 in 1982 dollars, or 40% of the C64 - with over 4 million times the storage capacity, to say nothing of the other capabilities.

That our modern mobile devices are popularly called 'phones' misses the point that they are used as general purpose computing devices, not primarily phones or even necessarily primarily for communication. They are also GPS navigators, cameras, calculators, recipe files, photo albums, alarm clocks, book readers, walkmans, home stereos, encyclopedias, wallets, and a lot more. People used to frequently pay decent sums to buy dedicated devices to perform many of those services.

> Well, you could argue that a third-party window manager could be snooping on all of the content visible on your screen

And Apple's APIs let you snoop on those events anyway (that's how the semi-third party window manager-managers work), this is not an argument...

> because the real answer here is "it's a massive amount of work to support third-party window managers, since the window manager is such a crucial and low-level and highly-integrated part of the system, and there's no motivation for Apple to expend that tremendous amount of work,

...so what you're saying is "they don't want to put the effort into being able to replace core components of the system"? Because that's what I'm saying. I'm just saying it in a less charitable way than that.

> but this interpretation of GPLv3 is a fairly common interpretation so I don't see that there's any reason to doubt it.

It's only a common interpretation if you believe the rumors about Apple's view (and you're not the only person spreading them). FSF does not make that claim. Effectively everyone who uses GPLv3 doesn't make that claim (as far as I know). The only people that I've seen make that claim are people who say "this is the justification that Apple told me off-the-record but since they said it off-the-record we can't discuss it's merits". Do you see why I would suspect that this rumor spreading is co-ordinated?

We went through this bullshit back with UEFI and GRUB in the Linux community. The agreement was that GPLv3 is fine so long as it is possible to replace the keys (and wiping the machine on key replacement is what you want to happen anyway, so that's fine and it solves the security issues). If you want to start claiming that it's a "common interpretation" you need to show that there is a larger community than the Linux community that uses the GPLv3. And you won't find one. Because it's not a common interpretation in the community that uses that license.
Disrupting Facebook is not an attack on Facebook anymore. Its an attack on consumption culture that everyone is trapped in. Too keep markets growing you have to turn ppl into mindless consumers. That is Facebook's unintended purpose.
Facebook or whatever comes next cannot be replaced cause mindless consumers who need to accumulate things and debt are the basis of todays markets.

You don't need to patch your software right away, but you should have other strategies for mitigation such as a WAP in front of your services that you can configure to block malicious traffic when you identify a remote code execution vulnerability.

What I have found that everyone uses facebook to post stuff about themselves and voice their "important" opinions on stuff.

Nobody uses it to "connect". Or for sure maybe sometimes but surely it's not the only way that people can connect in these days.
I can connect with people in a myriad of ways, as always, even before facebook. I have seen absolutely no change in how "connected" I am after facebook has taken over.

Anyhow if it so important for "connecting" then how come I, without facebook, still am very much connected with my friends and family.
No, I brought it up once in my original post as minor compromise in security. As other have pointed out, it might be less secure as you could be more easily be manipulated to unlock your device by accident. It's a minor thing.

This is a decent list. Absolutely agree that you should know the core language and how asynchronous/callback style code works (and promises/async-await for newer code), and agree that knowing newer ES6 and beyond is also very useful. However, there's a lot of legacy code that was designed to work with older browsers and companies that aren't willing to invest in new tooling so you have to be careful and really understand the basics without relying on the tools like Babel.

One thing I will disagree with is that you don't need to learn/know Node.js anything to be a professional or serious JS developer. There are a lot of very proficient front end developers that never have and never will touch Node.js, even if it is Javascript.
Focus on friends that only share memes and Facebook makes you feel awesome
By a large margin, the ratio of legitimate (verified buyer) to "maybe but probably not legitimate" reviewers is the worst out there at the time of this article's publishing. It's pretty clear these are not valid reviews.

Personally, I think on hot topic items like this, Amazon should simply lock down 100% to verified purchases for like, 2 weeks.
I normally avoid talking about downvotes, but I'm interested in why this got at least 3.

A company is pushing customers to install webcams into the bedrooms of children. This puts them at some significant legal risk.
Sorry if that sounded mean. But I don't think the responses to this question are likely to be very useful. It's a hard problem, and if someone actually thinks they have a solution to it, they'd be shooting themselves in the foot to share it instead of finding funding to build it.
I removed my account a few months back (you have to request that, you can't delete it on your own, which I think sucks).

> First, the BSD license offers more total freedom than the GPL does

That's objectively false. GPL provides more end-user freedom. BSD provides more developer freedom.

There's not a single license which objectively and universally offers more freedom.

> I would rather have up to date version of good BSD software than an old versions of good GPL software.

False dichtohomy. That's comparing rotten apples to ripe oranges.

You either have to compare old GPL to old BSD or new GPL to new BSD.

And as an end-user I would prefer both new and GPL.

If you want to protect against a police who at gun point would not allow you yourself to retrieve your phone from your pocket, but rather search you an take it themselves, you should not use any biometric feature, be it FaceID or TouchID. They can force you to put your fingerprints on the phone. You should then just use a long and secure pin code, which they currently cannot obtain legally from you.

The epic story of dropbox exodus from the amazon cloud empire

pfft...self driving cars aren't like smartphones. If you think of our road and traffic networks across the world the places this stuff is going to work is going to be very very low, i.e. there are upper limits on scalability. It's going to be costly and in the hands of a few for a long time to come.
I am not sure what you are talking about. They moved out the 500PB data storage because ______at that scale______ it is cheaper to run it on your own hardware. This implies few things like having engineers with skills that are really not easy to find for starting and a bunch of other challenges that you need to solve.

Humanity survived without apps for quite a long time. I'm not sure though the comparison would yield the same result for information retrieval.
You need to do some testing of course. "IMMEDIATELY" doesn't mean within 5 seconds. If you can't properly apply security updates in a reasonable time frame without it leading to major outages, something is extremely wrong with either the architecture, the chosen software or the QA and deployment strategy.

> without it leading to major outages

Community planners should really think about how to "modularize" / "componentize" neighborhoods. What's valuable to the next generation may end up being despised by future generations. Also human civilization is only at the infancy of what technology will be capable of.

Unfortunately capitalism as a concept causes buyers and sellers to only concern themselves with the immediate future. "Can I sell this to someone tomorrow?"

A lot of industries can afford this short-sightedness, but there is only so much physical space (and orders of magnitude less that is livable) on the planet.

"Antifa's agenda is to use violence to suppress speech." Wrong. Antifa's entire purpose is to pose as the alternative thugs, ready to act should the intolerance groups choose execute their more overt agendas.

While I mostly agree with you, there is some benefit to economies of scale and time to deployment.
The news said it clear, some of the customers buy the book in a store, there is no evidence they didn't read it. And clearly big companys' values they always claims, such as 'leave bad reviews alone', 'don't be evil', they do not really want to obey it. They claim a rule, and break when they want, this is the real game rule.
Decoding Amateur Radio Digital Voice with RTL-SDR and QRadioLink
Security wise, maybe they could implement a feature where if you look at the phone with a recorded grimace (one eye closed, or blinking fast or raised eyebrows etc etc) it would disable faceid. So if someone wants to force you to unlock it you just comply and make a face
BTC because it's scarce

BTC isn't really scarce, there's quiet a few newer iterations like Litecoin, Monereo, Ethereum, Dogecoin etc..

It's also worth noting the supply was minted mainly by miners doing very low difficulty work early on, using basic home computers.

Satoshi made an intensional design choice to gain control of the supply for a very low cost, exploiting late adopters as bag holders.

The incentive system for bitcoin mining might of anticipated gaining popularity as time passes and increasing the reward as the network grows, but the system was designed completely opposite of that, at the expense of the masses for the benefit of sending the supply to the mining nodes operating in the first few months.

Since almost all of us agree that sexual preference is something that is innate, we cannot consciously affect it significantly, isn't it wrong to prosecute pedophiles? IMO, these people should be treated with pity, not as criminals. If we do that, all these absurdities will disappear automatically.

Of course, coercion is still illegal, and coercion of a minor would carry higher criminal penalties. But distribution of content does not automatically imply coercion or violence.

But sentencing somebody to prison for looking at cp is akin to sending gay people to prison.

Impressive he accomplished some of these. (I have only read through some; did he successfully complete them all?)

So far the one that suck out to me was acquiring absolute pitch after one month of training. My gf is a phd student jointly advised by two auditory/music and perception scientists (VS Ramachandran and Diana Deutsch), so i am constantly hearing about perfect pitch research. From our conversations PP isnt something you just pick-up after a month of training. Most life-long musicians don't even have PP, and instead rely on relative pitch. I think he identified a very good strategy; that he had some musical background I think was most critical in identifying those strategies than anything else it could have contributed.

Neither of those. It takes about 25 mins for qualified applicants, and we chose the questions to test what we think is actually relevant (note: the defaults are terrible).

We on the team all went through it retroactively, and all got decent scores.

And actually, we aren't having any issue hiring - it is ticking along nicely and I couldn't do more interviews while maintaining my sanity than I already am. I brought it up because I'm still surprised how much gender bias there is among the applicants.
